j. 3. HOWELL, Esq. -
Dear Sir: I have been sojourning at
this place for some weeks, and since the
meeting of the Legislature. l have looked
in upon the assembled wisdom of our
State daily. think that the members
generally feel the responsibility which
rests upon them, and that they are deter
mined to guard well the interests of the
State, which the people have committed
to their hands, and from what they have
already done it is evident that this Legis-
lature will put itself on the record as
patriotic and loyal body. There are. it is
true, few peace men in each branch of
the Legislature, but the majority will see
to it that the National Administration shall
have all the aid and comfort they can give
it. Some very important subjects are now
under consideration in both Houses, and
will receive that careful and patient inves-
tigation which is absolutely necessary to
mature wholesome laws. The Senate,
especially, is very grave and digni6ed
body, and some of the best talent in the
State is in that branch of the Legislature,
and the presiding officer, / think. has
happily distributed it in the forming of
committees notice that your county
has not been overlooked. Your townsman,
G. w. McCrary, is placed at the head of
the Committee on Military Affairs, a
Committee. by the way, which, in these
times Of war, is scarcely second to any
other in the importance of the business
which must come before it. But no one
who knows Mr.. McCrary, doubts for a
moment his ability TO perform the duties
which this responsible position imposes
upon him, in way which will be credit
able to himself and honorable to the State.
We had the pleasure of hearing him de-
liver lecture before the " Lecture Asso-
Cation OF this city this evening. The
lecture was delivered in the largest hall
In the city, which was filled to OVERLOOKING
with very intelligent and attentive au-
dience. In my judgment, the subject
which he discussed "Our Duties and
Responsibilities" was handled in mas
terly manner, and was we'll received by
the audience. The Senator from Lee,
believe, is the youngest member of that
body, but he has already gained a high
position in the estimation of his fellow.
