HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM EURoPE!
The Washington Union of Saturday last says
"Just go to press we hear, by telegraph,
that the America has arrived at Halifax bringing
of Europe
A new manifesto was expected from Russia The
Gar agrees to accept the Vienna note without the
notifications of the Sultan. 1t was reported that
the Turkish forces had attacked the Russian out
posts The walls of Constantinopc were covered with
placards calling the faithful to rally and attack the
Russians.
The America also brings important commercial

JUDGE NIcuoLsoN's ADDRESS BY the kindness of
some friends at Chapel Hill, we have been favored
with copy of the Address delivered by Hon. A. o.
P. Nicholson, of Tennessee, at the late commence
ment of the University, before the two literary soc
cites. We perused the address with feelings of UNI
alleged pleasure. Judge Nicholson is of the many
bright stars now shining in distant States which
fleet lustre upon their venerable Alma Matcr-the
University of North Carolina. The Address is deep
ly imbued with the spirit of Christian morality and
is well calculated to exercise most conservative and
refining influence. The subject of 1.-THE influence
and responsibilities of the awyer-though seeming
y theme calculated to interest only class is treat
cd in manner so appropriate and the illustrations
of it drawn from history opposite to the moral
sought to be incucated, that much will be found in
the production to interest the general reader. As
literary production It's highly creditabe. As moral
discourse it is intellectually valuable.
The Address is neatly printed, and is from the
Standard Office, Raleigh. Fay. Ca1okinian.
DEATH THE Rev. DIR. WrrHERsPooN. 1t will be
seen, by obituary in to-day's paper that this
nent Minister of the Gospel died at his residence
near this place Sunday last. Connected, as he
had been, with the Presbyterian Church here from
1916 to 1882 its Pastor; having bcen it were,
the first to plant the standard of the cross in this
community; he had strong hold upon the esteem
and affections of citizens. His funeral took place
on Monday, and in respect to his memory the bust
houses closed during the solemnities, and
nearly all the citizens in the village attended the
vices In the eloquent tribute to the memory of the
deceased, part of the funeral sermon it very
appropriately suggested that monument should be
erected by the members of the Presbyterian church
and other citizens of the town, to the memory ofDr
Witherspoon, as he had done more, perhaps, than
any other for the morals of the place. We hope
the suggestion will be carried into effect. -.
