B The Editor of the Raleigh Register refers to
the personal difficulty which took place between Mr.
Rayner and the Editor of this paper in 1856; and
the Editors of the Fayetteville Observer have made
similar allusion. We do not see what a personal
matter between Mr.. Rayner and ourself can have to
do with his or our political course 1t is true the
Editor of this paper had personal difficulty with
Mr. Rayner, but it has been settled on terms honor
able to both. We entertain no malice against Mr.
Rayner and he entertains no malice against us.
We might retort upon the Editors Of both these
journals, but we forbear to do So
If the Editor Of the Register desires personalities
in this campaign, We do not; but if he rll have
them, we will be sure to meet him half way. This
ausion to our difficulty with Mr.. Rayner may please
few people, for whose good opinion we care no
thing but beyond that it will do our neghbor quite
as much injury as it will us.

AMERICAN HOTEL, CHARLEsroN.-We call attention
to the Card of Mr. G. A. Neufer, of the American
Hotel, Charleston. Mr. N. informs us that he has
rooms for about five hundred persons, and can ac-
commodate that number at the approaching Conven-
ton. 1t seems that much of the difficulty in rela-
ton to accommodations at Charleston has arisen
from the fact that the Mills House and Charleston
Hotel have been almost entirely relied on. Besides
these Hotels there are in Charleston the American
the Pavilion the Planters, the Victoria House, the
Merchants, the Commercial House, together with
numerous private boarding houses. Mr.. N. has no
doubt that ample accommodations will be offered the

inst, nficting severe confusion of the face, put

He observed the man. blew the alarm whistle, and
then blew on the stop breaks The man gave heed
to the alarm, stopped, and backed himself close up

Mrs. DoUGLAs.-The enthusiastic lady-ad-
mirer and correspondent ofthe San Francisco
Morning Call, gives the following poetical
description of Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas. In
the mountains there are many such. This
is the style in which he rhapsodises:
"Mrs. Douglas is model of classic perfec-
ton. The forehead is high and beautifully
formed the summit where the hair is parted
being in direct line with the chin. This
line the ancient sculptors always observed
in their models. Her eyes are black and
lustrous, and so delicately set within their
lashes, that the eye of waxen figure could
not present more orderly arrangement
The eyebrows are finely arched. Her nose
Is Grecian, her checks full and rosy, her
mouth SMALL and her half opened lips indi-
cate the breathing in of a healthy and full
enjoyment of life. Her chin is we'll rounded
and slightly dimpled, and her neck what our
modern critics call aristocratic, and is in ire
proportion with her head and trunk. Her
complexion is between blonde and bru-
nette, and her hair black. She dresses plain
but with most becoming taste. Her demeanor
is that of lady who knows her station, but
places no value upon it. While sitting here
within the range of my vision, she is the OBJ
served of all observers, but looks as if she
were entirely unconscious of the fact. She
ID apparently about 27 years of age, though
some would take her to be younger. She is
the second wife of Mr.. Douglas, aud beloved
by all who know her. At her mansion, visi-
tors never fail to fnd welcome and all are
treated with generous hospitality.

A SENSIBLE DoG.-The following is told
by the Knickerbocker Magazine:
A man who was somewhat fond of Holsters,
was wistfully regarding basket, of the sa-
very fish in one of the markets, with his dog
by his side, while another bystander was
sticking his cane into one of the disengaged
claws of big fellow crawling about on top;
'How he does hold on" said the man with
the cane.
ayes" responded the man with the dog.
"but it's because he dents the cane, and his
claws won't slip on the wood. But be couldn't
hold on toa critter, or you or |, in that way.
When he feels anything a-giyin', q lobster
always stops pinchin'"
"Guess not, said the owner of the basket.
"You put your dogs tail in that there claw,
and you'll see whether he'll hold on to it or
not"
No sooner said than done. The lobster
lover lifted up his dog, dropped the end of
his tail between the extended prongs of the
claw, which closed instanter, and the dog, as
smit by sudden pain, ran off bowling at the
top of his speed.
"Hello p' exclaimed the owner of the lob
ster, ''whistle back your id dog. He's
runnin' off with my property
"Whistle back your lobster! That dog
amt a-comin' back. He's in pain, and it's
dangerous to go near him; but I'll follow
after him, and see that the affair comes TO a
proper endp
The owner of that dog had lobster salad
for dinner next day.

Under the Moon.
Hinder the moon. as the twilight breeze
Ripples the waters ia pulses BRIGHT
We stand on the bridge by the sycamore trees,
And listen to voices that come through the night
Under the elm misty and dank,
loves Sweetest langi4t,r rings from the bank
Sprinkled xith many deep red lamp,
Stretched away through the distant damp
Harkl 'mi,, the foliage blossomed with Jxne,
Tinkles a serenadc under tlte Eaoon.
Under the moon in the village street,
Gossipping groups in the shadow meet,
Seated at dusky doorways there,
Red-lipped maidens taste of the air,
Whispering now of their lovers eyes,
Live as the beautiful summer skies
Whispering now oftheir batteries sweet,
As Autumn fruitage dropped the heat,
Until they cadence trembling tune,
Soft their pulses under the moon.
Under the moon by the cool sea shore
The wind walks over its spacious floor,
Courting the snowy-bosomed sails
Daintily dripping through azure wales;
Over the crisp foam bearing along
The n,using mariners midnight song;
As by the rising helm with hands
Lit in the compass lamp he stands,
Thinking of those he left at noon,
Sad on the green shore under the moon.
Under the moon by the dusty road
Pace to the old abode;
The listless splendor floating falls
Over its sycamore roof and walls,
Peering into the easement nook
Piled with many brown old book;
Spirits they whose pages teem
With thoughtful ditty and pictured dream
Spirits, amid whose silence soon
Our own shall slumter under the moon.
