THE LATE JOHN RANDOLPH AND HIS MAN
JUBA.-The following anecdote of the late
John Randolph, of Roanoke, was recently
told by Mr.. Cotton, the author of the BIZ
ography, of the Honorable Nathaniel Macon,
N c.:
Randolph's favorite body servant, Juba,
had offended his master very much. In
consequence, Juba was summoned to his
masters presence and informed that he
placed too high au estimate on him to have
him whipped, as he punished his other mig
gers, when they misbehaved, but as his
offence could not be passed by, he would
have to adopt different course with him !.
"You know, Juba," said Randolph, show
settle my quarrels with gentlemen-on the
field. You will have to fight me duel with
pistols" The pistols were produced and
loaded. and one of them given to Juba. Eight
PAGES were measured off in the parlor it was
agreed that they should stand back to back !;
''ten" should be counted-wheel and fire.
They took their places, Juba happening to
be near door. When ten was counted
Randolph wheeled, but no Juba was to be
seen. On walking to the door, Randolph
esped him crossing a field at 2:40 lick.

A HAPPY MAN.-The Transcript, speaking of
the Hon. (0 John C. Burch, says: He is resid-
ing in Weaverville, where the community, of all
parties four italics] are his friends"
Happy man he is, truly We do not envy the
Weavervillans their happiness in having such a
distinguished Honorable gentleman in their
midst. Hope they will keep him amongst them,
and never again suffer him to wander from home,
or to make a fool of himself by writing Pacific
Republic letters, or uttering secession speeches.
Very sorry to learn that he cannot be prevailed
upon to claim seat at the proposed extra ses-
sion of Congress. Can't see how We can well
spare him from the councils of the nation. Ra-
sther think the wheels of Government will stop,
unless we have his Herculean strength to start
the cars and to lift the Union vehicle out of the
mire of secessionism and the slough of despond.
Oh, Mr.. John C. Burch Hon. Jno. c. Burch
do, for the sake of your bleeding country, help
us in this our hour of trouble, by claiming seat
at the proposed extra session! Oh, do! Won't
you? Will youi s.

A Strange Fact.

they are called, should have relinquished
their neutrality and declared for the South
ern Confederacy because South Carolina
thought proper to make rash and ill-advsed
assault upon Fort Sumter. If the Govern
ment had attacked South Carolina, or any
OF the Forts held by the Southern Confeder-
acy, then there would have been at least
some excuse if not an entire justification,
for the proceeding. The Government would
literally have been the aggressor. AS the
case now stands, however, it is very differ
'ent. That assault, so pregnant with future
serious events, should rather have excited
the indignation than the sympathy of such
States as Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri, and increased their loyalty for that
Union which they had previously shown so
much reluctance in assisting to destroy.
which they will regret when repentance
comes too late to repair the injury.
Neutrality was certainly the wisest policy
for the border States to adopt-a policy die
tated by prudence, self-interest, propriety
and patriotism. South Carolina commenced
the war with the direct and ayowed inten-
tion of dragging the border States into it,
which deprives the latter of the poor excuse
of ignorance of criminality in her designs.
South Carolina and the border States both
knew-for the published letter of Major
ArIa h.. f,c ,b,+
two or three days more they could have pos
sessed Fort Sumter without firing gun.
But this did not suit South Carolina. She
was determined to have conflict of arms.
She took the initiative of it at Baltimore, by
breaking up the Democratic Convention, and
now, that the fruiton Of her traitorous hopes
was thing clearly possible, she urged on
the encounter, which, in spirit of enlarged
philanthropy, we cannot but wish may end
in the absortion of her State boundaries,
and the wiping out of her distinctive nation
atty This is the only way in which she
can hereafter be kept quiet and the masses
of her population benefited.
In precpitating this war, South Carolina
has vindicated her chivalry at the expense of
her discretion. She fights for the love of
the battle. 1t may prove expensive, but it
is heroic. Cotton is King, and she is desir-
ous of procuring him crown and sceptre.
Macbeth had similar ambition. He OBJ
tanned both by somewhat similar means. 1t
might profit South Carolina to pursue the
moral of his story.
The border States hesitated to join the
Southern Confederacy in its first movements
Then no act of war had been committed.
The Government had done nothing to invite
hostilities. It's forbearance was even con-
.sidered detrimental to its honor; but the
border States approved it. Then the Gov
ernment is assaulted, and in this violent pro-
ceeding they find an argument to Justify
them in joining against it also! This, We
say, is the strangest morality, the most in
comprehensive logic we ever undertook to
study-entirely Southern in its origin-and
only PARALLEL by that other heresy, that the
patriotism of the American citizen should
be circumscribed by State lines, aud discard
the flag of a common country!
