short time ago, member of Orr's Regi.
ment. well known to many of our readers as
Bill Mckinney, a real dei.cPrit, stepped into
one of the stores in Columbia, and inquired
Tor paper of pins, which the merchant polite.
tely handed him, when Bill asked the price
''One Dollar and fifty Cents. sir" replied the
merchant
"well that's very high" responded Bill
The merchant-''Wcll, if You will tell me
what Is not very high,' now, will give you
the pins"
Bill--shrugging his shoulders and casting a
winning" lock nj the little IMAM behind the
counter-"well, there's not ucry Myh living in
Lees Army"
The merchant acknowledged lie was solgered
and the last he saw of Bill was going out Of
the door pocketng the paper of pins.

We uusr carry LincoIn through.

The Hon. Reverdy Johnson of Maryland. one
Of the new United States Senators from that State
is out in a letter refusing to attend the Republi
can Convention which assembled at Utica under
the cover of a "Union" patriotic demonstration
He says:
eth resolutions to be submitted on the coca
sion, i have not received; but whatever they may
be in other respects. and however | may possibly
fail to concur in them, there is one sentiment
which / am sure they will contain, in which i
will concur with all my heart-love of the Union
and a fixed. irreTocable purpose to preserve il AT
every sacrifice of treasure and life
Mr.. Johnston also urges the support of the
Government Notwithstanding the President 'may
commit, as he has committed, some damaging
errors" In this, Mr.. johnson simply expresses
the views of the great mass of the conservative
people. Even j CLANCY Jones does not dissent
from this position, as we learn from the follow
ing paragraph in the New York Times:
"Hon. J. CLANCY Jones. a leading Democrat OF
Pennsylvania. publishes in the National Intelli
geIlcer an article setting forth the basis on which
the Democracy of Berks comfy propose to re
construct the Union, and which the Democratic
party of tho whole country is ex ected TO ADOPT
as its platform He says that they will assent tc
no peace which shall dissolve the Union, and viii
submit to laws that are unconstitutional, because
there is no way of resisting them that does moi
involve anarchy, or despotism, which are still
greater evils"

All who were there very well know that it was
