CORRECTION OF AN ERRoR.-The writer Of
the leading local article yesterday, fell into an
error with regard TO the history of the Gallego
Mills, which is of slight importance, inasmuch
as most of our readers will be readily able TO
detect it. The brand in question received its
name from Mr.. Gallego, Spaniard we believe
by birth, who FIRST gave it celebrity as the own
er of the mills, at that lime situated on the ca.
nal above the city. Mr.. G. bequeathed these
mills to the late Peter J. Chevalie, whose ia
Their had been his paftner in business. In the
winter of 1928, the old mills were burned
down. About the same time, Mr.. A. Warwick
and MIR. VIM. j. Barksdale purchased portion
of them, and they were rebuilt on their present
site, the land having been bought, we believe,
OF Gen. J. B. Harvie and others. In 1876 or
AZ, we forget which, they were once more
burned to the ground, and upon their ruins
the present enormous structure was raised
At the death of Mr.. Chevallie, or possibly be-
fore, Messrs. w. g. B. became sole propretors.
SANoTHER ERRoR.-Iu our reply to Col.
Garnet there is the following sentence: " of
course, in order to do SO, he must have twenty
additional hands for every additional carr
This is an error. We should have said "twen-
ty additional hands, for every twenty additional
cars"
CURIosITIEs OF Arrive called at the

examine the contents ola box that had been sent
to him from Alexandria, in Egypt, by his son
F. A. Pizzini, who is on board the U. s. steam

which attracted our attention was the figure OF
an ass, about ten inches long, sculptured in
aiabaster, and highly polished. The figure and
attitude are expressed with great animation, and
are very life-lke. The animal is just drawing
his feet from under him, in the act of rising

MIR. P. also showed US a cast in alabaster, OF
the leaning tower of Pisa, and an engraving oil

scenes in the life of our acknowledgements

in our advertising columns the advertisement
of Messrs. KNAPP g. WEBSTER, who propose
to teach method for the detection of counter
felt Bank notes. They bring with them the
very best references as to the usefulness OF
their system. From these il appears that any
person can readily become skiful in the de.
lection of counterfeits. Messrs X. & w.

THE LATE TRAGEDY IN SUssEx-We I'm.
derstand, that at late hour on Tuesday eve
ming last the ,ndition of MIR. Birdsong was
slightly improved. The negro who discharged
the gun which proved so disastrous in it's Of.
fects, has acknowledged the crime, and will
certainly be hung. The mother and sister oil
the murderer are also implicated in the bloody
transaction. This information was obtained
from gentleman directly from the neighbor
hood.
Strong hopes are now entertained that Mr..
Birdsong will entirely recover.
