scrbes Beauregard's headquarters:
Gen. Beauregard has his headquarters at
n little farmhouse, from which he has a COM
manding view of the whole WORKS and coun-
try around. Everything is very cool and
quiet about it, and the stranger would scarce
ly believe that from there hourly issue the or
Gers which regulate the movements Of the
largest army ever collected on this side of the
Potomac, or, indeed, in any part of the old
United States. The whole machinery Of the
camp moves like clock-work, and, unless he
drew the inference from the magnitude Of the
works in sight, no one would imagine that the
whole army is in constant notion"

Mr.. J. A. Echols, Secretary of tho Commits

the Chickasaw Legislature passed an act ofse-
cession by a unanimous vote about the LIST in
slant convention was TO be held by the
Choctaws about the 18th Instant for the same
purpose, and there is no doubt that that ma
tion has also seeded. The Creek nation had
convention about the 18th Of May, but they
sat with closed doors, and their action is not
therefore certainly known, but as delegates 10

mr. The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Exchange" under date of the

'The streets of the city have been throngcd

soldiers who have been guilty of all sorts Of
excuses without regard to either the law of
the city or the rules Of modern society Hur-
raining and halow:Dg at the tops Of their
voices, rudely Glowing passengers on the foot

Gen. JacEsOn's Choice of n Profession

Gen. Jaclsson's Choice Of n Profession.
Peace was formally proclaimed In
April, 1888. The peace, it is we'll
known, produced a remarkable effect
upon the legal profession. BY exclud-
ing the old tory barristers, and Gre
ating many new causes of action, 1T
threw into the hands of the whig party
lawyers very lucrative business. At
the same time, career in public life
lay open to the young men of the tri-
umphant party, large numbers of whom
the peace had thrown out of the profess
sion of arms. The result was, that
young men Of spirit in all parts of the
country were looking to the law for
vocation, and the old lawyers had plenty
of new students. Some time between
the proclamation of peace and the
winter of 17S4-5, Andrew Jackson
resolved upon studying law. In that
winter he gathered together his earnings
and whatever property he may have.

and set his face northward in quest
of a master in the law under whom to
pursue his studies.
erode to Salisbury, North Carolina,
a distance of seventy-fve miles from
the Waxhaws. Either because he met
no encouragement at that place, or from
some other reason beyond our guess,
he then journeyed sixty miles west
ward, to MorgantoWn, Burke county,
North Carolina, where lived Colonel
Waightstill Avery, for instruction, and
board in his house. 1t was new and
wild region Of country, and the house
of Colonel Avery, like all others in the
vicinity, was Lighthouse Of the usual
limited size. He was, therefore, much
against his will, compelled to decline
receiving the applicant into his house;
and as there was no other boarding
place to be found in the neighborhood,
the young man had no choice but to
return to Salisbury. At Salisbury, he
entered the law office of Mr.. Spruce
McCav, an eminent LAWYER at that time.

distinction, who is still remembered
with honor in North Carolina. Andrew

regmental paper, published at Gra-
hams town. The writer, after allud-
ing to his sporting experiences of all
kinds, and in all quarters of the globe,
declares that he never witnessed so
novel or intensely exciting chase as
that about to be described: Not long
ago | spent few days at Fort Brown,
a small military post on the banks of
the Great Fish river, where my friend
w. was stationed. One evening, as
my friend and were returning home,
after somewhat fatiguing days back
shooting, we were startled by hearing
the most extraordinary noises not far
from US. 1t seemed as if all the de-
mons in the Internal regions had been
unclaimed, and were amusing them
selves by trying to frighten us poor
mortals by their horrid yelling. We
stood in breathless expectation, not
knowing what could possibly be the
caqof this diabolical row, with all
sor1of strange conjectures flashing
aExoss our minds. Nearer and nearer
yelling and screaming approached,
an presently the cause became visible
to Rhr astonished eyes. Some three or
four hundred yards to our right, upon
the brow of u hill, a spotted leopard
Commonly called in this country u
tiger, though much smaller than the
lord of the Indian jungles) came in view
bounding along, with all the speed and
energy of despair, while close behind
him followed an enormous pack of
balloons, from whose throats proceeded
the demoniacal sounds that had, IL few
seconds before, so startled us.
Our excitement in the chase, as you
may suppose, was intense. On went
the tiger, making for the river, the
balloons following like avenging de-
mons, evidently gaining ground upon
their nearly exhausted foe, though their
exulting yells seemed each moment to
increase his terror and his speed. They
reached the stream, the tiger still few
yards in advance, and, with u tremen-
dous bound, he cast himself into It's
muddy waters and made for the opp0-
site bank. The next moment his pur-
suers, in admirable confusion, were
after him, and rs tho tiger

For several years, this gifted artist
knew no bride save his exasperated
instrument, and took ethetical delight
in furnishing high art in the semblance
of exciting strains for The benefit of
balls, parties, soiress, 'or any other
man. But, few weeks ago, Cupid
marked him for a beautiful prey, and
he fell (or, rather, fiddled) madly in
love with the only daughter of a pair
of rich, but respectable parents. He
met her at ball, between Goderich
and Berlin and whenever his glance
met hers, his unhappy violin uttered
sounds like a cat in great agony, or a
horse with a bad cold.

Naturally of a free and generous dis
