AMUSING IGNoRANcE-T The Whining
ton Herald tells the following which would
be moro amusing but for the reflection
that such ignorance as this bears its full
share in shaping State policy
Patience is virtue which ought to
characterize the people Of North Carroll
ma in an eminent degree, for they are
called upon to exercise it ooften that ur-
less they arc very poor scholars, they
must be imbued with its very spirit
Some people call it by different name,
but, after all, it may bethat the slowness
with which news is circulated among the
people has great deal to do with the for
nation of their character. We heard
there was a man in town the other day,
from q neighboging county, who, when
something was said about secession, re-
marked, that he supposed that idea had
been abandoned long ago; that nobody
would carry out that threat, to be sure ];
and when masked q what he thought about
South Carolina, for instance y he said he
didn't know anything particular about
that State-that he hadn't been to- to,c,s for
three months, and hadn't heard anything
from therc He was utterly lost in amaze
mont when he learned that not only
South Carolina had seeded, but that a
new Government had been formed at the
South.

If suy proof were wanted of the patriotism Of our

tors would be sufficient Toombs and Hill are the verv
men for the pace-the whom the people wanted and
whose services the people wanted aud the action OF the
shows that they understood the wishes and
best interests Of people, and that no sehshness or
parisanshp existed among them but they were resolved
90 only their duty TO the people and the country by
IN ing choice of best men-those who best able
to serve u efficiently n this time Of our countrys trial
Mr. Toombs without peer in the u s. Senate
head and should above them all ndtwas the proud
boas. of Georgia that bad such man. whose mighty
towering intellect far outshone the representatives OF
any other State. A more watcbiul able and faithful
representative no people ever had anywhere.
Mr. Hill is q young man. Very lew OF his age have
ever been clothed with senatorial robes but he deserves
the honor well for his fthfu1tes and integrity as for
the brancy Of his genius ard the towering strength OF
bis intellect Few Of bis age In any country ever
ACQUIRED such reputation for satesmsnship or exhibit
TED such high order Of talents. He is gifted, eloquent
prudent frm and reliable and hehIs the confidence OF
the great popular hesrt
No State in the Oonfederacy will have such arepresen
tation 10 the Senate as Georgia
Oae of the gratifying feature Of this election, "a
that Toombs and Hill the voluntary, unbought and
uninA aenced choice of the Legislature, a. they were
preferred by the people everywhere. Those men did
not seek the offce-neither Of them Both were sohc
70 by their friends allow the Of their names To
this they consented-sgreeirg the Legislature
should choose them and TIL, ALL Neither Of them go
icted any mans vote or influence. Toombs was on the
ented 6,ld commanding Brigade Of Gsorgians, and
Hill was quietly at hons. Neither OF them went TO the
Capitol aud neither Of them sent any one there 70 work
for them We know this much and speak advisedly.
This is the wsy all shouli be chosen TO Office and
We hope the good effects Of this example will not be lost
on the apiants who visited the capital and rooted sad

er them stay at home till the people call for them. In
this yay they will at least save their credit.
