NATHANIEL, MACON.

We publish to-day chapter from Col Benton's
forthcoming History, in which he has sketched, IN
mastery and most interesting manner, the character
of NATHANIEL MACON of North Carolina. AS the
National Intelligencer truly remarks, I" Mr.. Macon
was a very remarkable man, and he was type of
the simplicity honesty and virtue of the Republican
State of which he was native" We fear we shall
never look upon his like again.
Col. Benton's History is looked for with much in
terest 1t will no doubt be one of the most readable
books of the day.
We copy from the Intelligencer the following
tce of the chapter on Mr.. Macon referred to:
"THE LAST OF THE ROMANS" Our readers are in
debted to-day to the New York Post for another
chapter from Col Benton's forthcoming History.
This chapter comprises sketch of the life and char
acter of Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, man
who filled large and important space in the public
councils from very early period in our Government
down to comparatively recent one. Mr.. Macon was
a very remarkable man, and he type of the
simplicity, honesty, and virtue of the Republican
State of which he native. Scarcely ever did
any of our earlier legislative statesmen exert
decided influence in shaping the course of the
Government in its foreign relations he; and du-
ring the critical and important years preceding the
of 1872 and through all the trying exigencies
IN which this country was placed by the wars OF
Europe, his opinions ever frankly expressed, were
always looked for in England with peculiar socitude
as affording reliable clue to the policy and inten
tons of Congress Mr.. Macon was a model repub-
ican, and his character is eminently valuable in
republican State, as an example for all who would
their country honorably and give dignity, pu
rty, and perpetuty to republican institutions.
Col Benton has drawn this portrait admirably, for
his heart in it; and every reader will be struck
with the simplicity, cearness, force, and beauty of
the deGneation We have read nothing for long
time with more pleasure or deeper interest; and as
we know of hardly any thing in American. biography
worthy of the study of American youth, we could
wish to see it inserted in every school book in the
country"

mocracy of the country.
Tbo+ Mr. yenable voted for BENEFITS land bill,
,boh was unjust in ITSELF and in opposition to both
tho baltimore and State Resolutions.
That Mr. Venable speaks contemptuously OF Con-
yenons and utterly refuses to agree to plans pro-
posed by Mr. Lewis to settle the existing difficulty
That Mr. VenabIe told Johnston Wing that ne

beat Lewis and that he knew Rogers would be cleo
ted that Mr. Venable, though he knows our columns
are open to him. does not dey this statement 00eT ms

That Mr.. Venable told R. F. Morris, Wing, that
he was with the Wings on two important questions,
while Mr. Lewis was against them IN every tnlng;
and that if the Wings were sincere they were bound
to vote for him.
That Mr.. Venable pronounced Gen. jackson
" os,i66Lern at Gardner's and refused to withdraw
the expression or qualify it.
That every vote for Mr. Venable is vote against
Craige and Ruffin, and Ashe, and Shaw, and Boyd
against the opinions of Gen. jackson on the land
question: and in opposition to the platforms both
State and national.
That no one Democrat has right to come forward
and tell the party that it shall change its position on
any question: that positions once laid down. must be
adhered to- until the party in Convention assembled
shall declare to the contrary; and that Mr. Venable,
in thus assuming to dictate to his party, has dis
played an arrogance and vanity which ought to be
rebuked.
That Mr. Venable, if elected, will in all probabill-
ty cleave to his errors and repeat them. 10 elect
him is, therefore, to arm him for larger and more
lasting mischief
Remember these things before you vote; and bear
in mind also that Mr.. Lewis is sound upon all the
issues, and that the contest is between him and Mr.
ROGERS Every vote for Mr.. Venable will be a vote
thrown away for the plain that he cannot be
elected; and every vote for Mr. Lewis will be vote
against Mr.. Rogers and also vote to endorse Dem

Colonel John H. Wheeler, of North Carolina has

account of melancholy accident which occurred at
Williamson on the 9th instant:
"a young man by the of Bragg, employed
in the steam-nil at that place, accidentally tripped
and fell and in falling his arm struck the Circular
Saw and was instantly cut off, as if it had been cut
off by sickle. The jerk produced by the collision
threw him and brought his neck in immediate
contact with the saw when in a twinkling his head
was severed from his body and thrown some four
feet from the instrument Alas how true the warn
ing, In the midst of life we are in death"

NEVER DESPAIR. Fifty three years ago, on the 4th
of July, 1900, Daniel Webster, then in his senior
year at college, delivered Grafton at Hanover, N.
H. which is still preserved and has been repubshed
within the past year: Mr.. Nation, of Summerville
Ohio, who was in college with Mr.. Webster, gives
the following anecdote, described in the Congrega-
tional Journal:
81 was in his room, said Mr. NJ, when a deputa-
ton called upon Mr. w. to ask him to accept the in
vitation; but there seemed to be an nsurmountable
objection in the way He had clothes suitable to the
dignity of the occasion. Here was dilemma but
this was removed by proposition made by one of
the deputation present. merchant of the village.
You deliver the Grafton, Mr. Webster said he, and
will trust you for a suit of clothes from the best
cloth in my store. Afterwards, we will have the ora
ton printed and will depend upon the proceeds of
the sales for my pay Mr.. w. turned to me-'Jack,
he said, what shall we do?'-' Prepare the grafton,
1 said. The Grafton was prepared and delivered; and
so much were the citizens gratifed, that copy was
urgently requested for publication. From the Sales
the debt due the liberal merchant paid, and a
considerable surplus left for Mr. Webster's own use.

AUTHORSHIP BIBLE. There is in all sixty
six books which will comprise the volume of Holy
Writ which are attributed to more than thirty diff
ferent authors writers of the whole. Half of the
the New Testament was composed BY St Paul, and
the next largest writer is the gentle and beloved St
John. With the single exception of Paul, neither
history or tradition has testified that those powerful
thinkers and writers enjoyed the benefits of ed
ucaton that they trained to scholarship and
learning; yet how ably have they written, what
inent characters have been chroncled by them, and
what great events recorded, both for time and eter
nifty.
jeremiah is sorrowful Isaiah sublime; David po-
etical; Daniel sagaciouk; Habakkuk and Haggai
terrible and denunciatory; but they all seemed to
have exercised their natural gifts under the influence
of Divine direction and inspiration. Moses, with
his vast knowledge, and profound intellgence-the
legislator, the reformer, the deliverer commenced
the work; and John, with his depth of feeling and
exquisite tenderness and simplicity, completed it.
And, what do we know of the lives of all those,
even of the two last mentioned? Nothing that hu
man vanity might exut in. Moses was rescued from
the oozy rushes of the Nile; and John died in his
old age lonely exile the small Island of Patmos
