Zevely has any particular politics In the course of
perhaps twenty years acquaintance with him, we
never heard him open his mouth on political

Death of Hon. Aaron v. Brown,


We announce with profound regret the death Of
Hon. Aaron Y. Brown, Postmaster General of the
United States He expired at his residence in Wash
ington City on Wednesday last, of pneumonia in
the Gath year of his age.
Mr.. Brown was born in Brunswick county, Vir-
ginia, on the 18th August, 1896 He was the son
Of Rev. Aaron Brown, who served when youth in
the revolutionary army under the command of
WASHINGTON. Aaron Y. Brown was the issue of
Elizabeth Melton, of Northampton county, in this
State
Aaron V. Brown was sent when boy to Wes-
trayvile Academy in Nash county in this State and
placed under the care of Mr.. John Bobbitt, one of
the best teachers of his tlme After continuing
with Mr. Bobbitt two years. he was transferred in
1872 to the University of this State at Chapel Hill
He graduated with much credit in class of which
Willie P. Mangum and Charles Manly were men,
bers
After his return to Tennessee Mr. Brown studied
law and was admitted to the bar. His career both
at the bar and in politics. was highly honorable and
successful. He was for many years partner with
James X. Polk in the practice of the profession.
He was repeatedly member of the Legislature of
Tennessee, and was elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives in 1889. He served the people of his
District in Congress from 1889 to 1s45, when he
was nominated for the Office of Governor of Ten
nessee. He accepted, took the field, canvassed the
State thoroughly, and was triumphantly elected.
At the commencement of Mr.. Buchanans admins
traton Mr. Brown was invited to take charge of the
Postoffce Department; and the whole country will
bear testimony to the energy, industry and ability
with which he conducted its affairs. The very ab-
sence of complaint as to the management of in
terests SO extensive and diversified is his highest
eulogy.
His death is a serious loss to the country, and
will occasion deep regret and sorrow, especially in
Tennessee and in this State to whose people he was
strongly attached. We were all looking forward
with pleasure to the next Commencement at the
University, when it was expected that Gov. Brown,
with the President Jacob Thompson and others,
would be present; but 10! death has intcrposed and
snatched him from our sight.
"The glor,s of this mortal state
| Are Shadows not substantial things"
! But his example lives, bright and noble one
indeed for the imitation of the young men of the
| country.

MIR. MILLER IN GREENSBOROUGH.
GREENSBORO, March 5, 1859.

GREENSBORO, March B, 1S5g
MEssRs ED1ToRs: Last night had the pleasure of
hearing Henry W. Miller's celebrated lecture on
1.-THE Eighteenth Century" 1t was grand intel
lectua effort and delivered in Mr.. Miller's incom-
parable manner. He more than sustained his high
reputation as an accomplished scholar and orator.
He peculiarly fortunate in the selection Of sub
ect, and in the most glowing eloquence he sketched
the great men and stirring events of that brilliant
century. think the lecture is fully equal to any
thing that Carlyle has ever written. I hope that
Mr. Miller will find time to deliver his lecture in
