Itwas currently reported that Miss EVANS,
who wrote Buelah, is the author of Rutledge.-
We are assured, through private source, that
the report was q mistake-Miss EVANS did not
write Rutzsdgs A lady of New York did. ~ -
Lady BYRON died on the 18th o, April. She
was the wife of the BYRON, the hierophant Of
passion.verse; and was the mother Of his daugk-
ter-ADA They stayed married about year,
when they were divorced. She retired into her
ultimate widowhood, and he went to writing
land living) Don Juans. Mrs. Scandal Grundy
had good time, and so did Byron. :, Lady B.
was not q remarkable woman, We believe, in any
way. She appears to have never cared fig for
Byron, even when she married him, end he hearth
ly reciprocated her indifference. He ''got up"
some capital poetry about her, however, for
which we are very grateful to him. We,
personally, used to half worship the Byronic
scowling passion that rings so majestically
through his fiery verse. But such passion has
lost deal Of its charm, and loses more as we
learn more and moreof the true spirit Of divine
passion itself in real life. We now distrust most
profoundly all that Byron gives Us as peculiarly
his own. ~

Those desiring to have biographical sketch
of the late Mr.. PRESTON, win find the very best
that has yet been written, in DR.. LaBorde's His
tory of the South Carolina College. DR.. La
Borde's portraiture of PRESTON, as an orator, as
q statesman, as @ lawyer, as President OF the
College, as itteratear-as o man, in all his re.
,ations to life-is one in every respect admira-
BILE. Every alumnus Of the College, Of course,
has copy Of the History. Turn to 1t, now that
the time is so opportune, and re-read the sketch
of the life that has recently closed.
In Redfeld's Men Of the Time, published IN
1867, written, as everybody knows, by Girls
void, though his name does not appear with ths
book-also there is brief outline Of PREsTos'i

/. In O'Nealrs Bench and Bar, too, we believe
there is something on "The old man eloquent"
