HALIFAX County. July 18th. 1891

In pursuance to the above correspondence
MIR. ByNUM called upon the undersigned per-
sons, his political friends, to hear statement
OF facts from the Hon. JOHN BRANCH, relative
to his late connexon with the administration
of the General Government After an atten-
tive hearing and dispassionate consideration.
we unanimously and unhesitatingly say :; from
tie facts disclosed, zoe betiece Cor. Branch to
hare been treated NTH injustice: we believe the
Governor, not only to have discharged the du-
ties of his late Office with ability and fidelity.
but also believe, that in all his relations with
the. citizens Of Washington, that his conduct
Estrlctly conformed to the rules of honor and
proprety We, with the Governor, believe,
from the facts disclosed to us, that our venerable
President, although, like other men, not exempt
from the fraities of human nature, has done
nothing in this matter that cannot be forgiven;
done nothing for which we should abandon
him; done nothing improper which did not re-
suit from his peculiar situation. From tie facts
disclosed, ,ce feeiH to be our duty To san, IN ON,
opinion the G0cernor merits the continued con-
fdence Of TIE State, and particularly at this
time, that IF the citizens Of this district.

From Me Roanoke .adrocnte.

Having laid before the public, the cores
pondence that has taken place between myself
and Governor BRANCH, and its results, | can
have no hesitation in declaring myself no lon
ger candidate in opposition to him. In taking
this step, am aware, that it will give dissatis-
faction to some of my warmest friends; but |
cannot believe, after mature deliberaton on
the whole subject, that my motives or conduct
Will ind harbour for censure in the breast of
any high-minded, honorable man. In this
matter, have assumed only the responsibility
OF appointing certain number of my friends,
who L had every reason to believe would award
me ample justice; on whose opinions have re-
lied, believing that they were similar to those
OF my other friends, who made to me the same
professions. If the facts stated by them be
correct, conceive it to be the sacred duty of
every citizen of our State to sustain Gov.
BRANCH; but should he have deceived them,
and they me and the people, the award that
awaits them no honorable man will hesitate to
pronounce. To be condemned then, by nv
friends, for an act exercised with impartiality
and founded in duty in Justice and the most
disInterested patriotism, would be condemna-
ton indeed pregnant with cruelty which /
cannot believe sincere friendship is capable of
committing. The friends of other candidates
have permitted them to withdraw on their own
of it even to them. Yet they have not con-
demned them. Can my friends be more cruel
or less generous? Their liberaity, their gene
rosty, their independence and warm and high
minded patriotism has ever been my pride and
greatest boast. With them and for them, |
have ever been ready to- battle and wrestle with
every opposition and to have saved them harm
less, it would have been my greatest desire to
have sunk in the contest
1 withdraw from the contest fully sensible of
the injustice with which | have been treated
by some of my vindictive personal and political
enemies, but in making this assertion | am
bound to acquit large majority of the indi-
of being influenced by vindictive or personal
motives. In concluding these remarks, | will
take this occasion to correct an absurdity and
misrepresentation that have been lately pub
lished against me over the signature of " a
Voter" Taking it altogether it is too feeble
piece to have done much harm or good The
absurdity is this: 9" / consider it exceedingly
unfortunate and not little unaccountable that
MIR. b. at so early period of his political career
should have incurred the personal and political
hostility of so many worthy and respectable
citizens" To show the absurdity of this,
would only put another question to this rise
Voter. If Mr.. b. is what he intimates he is.
IS it not most unaccountable too, that he should
have so many warm and devoted personal and
political friends " at so early period of his po-
litical career" as to require the most powerful
and distinguished man in the whole State of
North-Carolina to break him down? Answer
Voter.
The misrepresentation alluded to, is this

 TERMS PER SESSION OF FIVE MONTHS. For spelling, reading and writing. .'...6 % English Grammar, Geography, Arith- Languages and other higher branches. 12 % Board can be had at respectable houses at from six to eight dollars per month.
 The Trustees have employed the Rev JOHN WILLIAMS as an assistant teacher, which enables MT MCPHERSON to devote his atten- tion principally to the students engaged in the higher branches.
 A strict course of moral department is ob- servable in this institution, with strong de- sire to make each student thorough in what he may learn; and from its healthy situation, the cheapness of board, and it's incipient pros perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.

NHE friends and patrons of this institution
 are hereby informed, that the Trustees having concludedan arrangement, with Mir. G. D. MuRPHEY, to take charge of and con- duct the school to be taught therein, it will open for the reception of pupils between the first and fifteenth of the present month. The Trustees believe that they are justified in assuring the public, that the arrangement now made will be permanent; and that the school will be conducted in manner that will command the confidence and approbation of all who may send their children to it. MT MuRPHEy will have associated with him, fe- male teachers of the best requirements and capacity, in connexion with whom he will be able to teach all the branches of female edsl- cation. including the elementary, literary, and scientific, useful and ornamental branches. The prices will be the same as them of the Tuscaloosa Female Academy, which arc something lower than those heretofore charg- ed in the Greensborough Female Academy.
 The health, society, and situation of the village of Greensborough vicinity are so we'll known, that it is deemed needless to say any thing on the subject.
 Good board, at moderate prices, can be had in genteel families in the village and neigh borhood. By order of the board,

lU\HE Trustees of this Institution, having U been informed that rumors have gone. abroad that there is no Female School in ope-. ration at Tuscaloosa, deem it tadviseable to in- form the community that such rumors are eI- tirely groundless. A union having been ef- fected between the Tuscaloosa Female Ftlu- cation Society and the Sims Female Acade- my, there is now in operation at this place, a promising Institution under the name of the Tuscaloosa Female Academy The union which has been effected was designed, and it is confidently hoped that it will have the effect, to unite the feelings and interests of the whole community, upon the highly interesting and all important subject of Female Education. This union too, places more ample fund un- der the control of the Board of Trustees, and they hope thereby to be able to make the In sttution equal to the highest expectations of it's most sanguine friends.
 The first session of the Tuscaloosa Female Academy commenced on Tuesday, the 9th inst. under the management of Miss 1.LLEN B.
