Nathaniel P. Howard, Attorney of Law in this City
las been honored with temporary appointment Of
Lax in the University of Virginia, in place Of the
iaie accomplished and lamented Davis. Mr. H. is in
every respect worthy of the responsible and dgnied

,icaons, have come forward to pay the highest tri-
butte to ms merits. One of them, in whose opinion we
have The highest confidence, declares, that Gin the en-
tent of MS professional attanments well his ge
neral knowledge scientific, literary, and classical
Subjects he not surpassed by any one of his age in
the State The lnodesty of Mr. Howard; the seclu-
son. which is incident to his laborous habits of study
have in part yelled his merits from the public eye. But
,ae prominent station which he is about to assume,
w bring out his character in bold relief 1t will show,
hos well he deserves the high appreciation which his
most intimate friends have uniformly put upon him
No of his age in this City is more highly respect
ed-no. only for his solid requirements, but for the
many honorable qualities which attach to his charac
Ter. He carries with him the best wishes of the whole
community, into the new career which destiny opens
10 his ambition.

PRESSES,

We make another extract for the edifcation OF
the locofoco slanderers of Harrison. IL is from
the organ of the Democratic party ia cd Virginia
during the last war; and the article was published
on The occasion OF the triumphant relntnlion of
sundry federal slanders-a rcfutaon madc by
committee Of Congress- and wHich was followed
by the unanimous adoption OF the resolution Of
thanks, &c. published in our last.
From the Richmond Enquirer Feb. 6, 1917.
GENERAL HARRIsoN.--lt is scarcely necessary
for us 10 repeat the warm sentiments OF respect
which we entertain for General William Henry
Harrison, During the lne war we have REPEAT
eddy bolne our humble testimony TO the gallant
hero oil the armies of the North West. An envi-
Gus cloud, however, gathered round his head,
,chich is now fna ~ and Jorersr dispersed. The
report of the COMMITTEE, whose Investigation Gen.
Harrison himself demanded, is conc usire upon
This subject.
