Democratic The Democrats Of this Coun.
ty went through with the formality of nom
mating County ticket at Waterloo last Sat
'urday. Nobody seems to know the whole
ticket and we have only been able to learn
that A. S. SMITH Of this place, was nomina-
ted for Representative; A. L. COBB, Of Wat
erloo, for Treasurer and Recorder, and e. H.
BABcGcK, of this place, for Sheriff. 1t is a
matter Of such trivial importance, whoever
may comprise the ticket, that we have failed
to lose any time in picking up the names of
the several candidates.

County Fair.-It was rather unfortunate
that yesterday, the last day of the County
Fair at Waterloo, should have been rainy
and for the most part disagreeable. The
weather deferred many from this portion Of
the county from being present, ourself
among the number. From some who were
present, however, we are pleased to learn
that the Fair passed off quite satisfactorily
to the managers. The attendance waslarge,
and the exhibition, though perhaps hardly
equal to former years, was, considering all
the circumstances, decidedly creditable to
both the Society and the county. Mr.. Flrz
SESSIONS, Of this place, we learn, took three
first premiums on Durham cattle.

Trouble IN the Family. Quite disturbance
was accustomed at the Carter House last
Monday by an enraged father, CLAYTON by
name, endeavoring to possess himself ola run
away daughter who had there temporarily
taken refuge. An alertcation occurred be-
tween the father and man named DAVIS, a
worthless fellow whom the former insisted
the girl was endeavoring to make off with
and marry. Threats the most awful were
INDUCED in on both sides, and both parties
brandished their jack-knives in decidedly
ferocious manner. No blood, however, was
split. CLAYTON made strong and desperate
appeals to our citizens to interfere.in the prem
ises, and assist him to rescue his girl, but
the story of the latter had got abroad, and the
popular sympathy seemed to 60 with the
child rather than the parent. She had no
idea she said, of running off with the man
DAVIS; she had merely employed him to
bring her to Cedar Falls. She was running
away from an unnatural father; she could
not live at home, he was SO exactng and
abusive Soon after her discovery at the
Carter House the girl quietly left by back
door for some other place of concealment.-
In the evening her father hitched up his
team and left for home, concluding to let the
girl shift for herself. And the man DAVIS,
the,.ast we saw Of him he was perambuating
up Main Street, evidently having embibed
altogether too freely Of rot gut tangle.leg.

Death of Rishop Ofey.

The Rt. Rev. James Hervey Otey, D. D. LII. D.,
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Ten

ceased was well known in this community, having
brother who resided here a long time The Bish-

nooga Rebel of the sth says:
"He was man of sound learning. incorruptible
integrity, earnest and devoted piety and universal
benevolence. As prelate he was . firm and con-
sistent Churchman, managing the ecclesiastical af
fairs of bis diocese with great discretion. As
preacher he was at once plain, practical, and yet
glowing and lofty in STYLE As Christian he adorn.
ed the doctrine of God in all things, Identifying the
Christian life by his great simplicity OF character,
his humility his cheerfulness and his thorough hon
esty of word and act.
Bishop Otey was born in Bedford county, Va,
but came as missionary to Tennessee, about the
year 1926 or g. He has been in the Episcopate over
quarter of a century. During the war his health
has been very feeble and he has therefore been un-
able to do more than express his warm sympathy
for the great cause Of the South With all the
earnestness of his character and with all tho power
of bis well.furnshed mind, he did 80 svmpatl.izs-

in the Paris churches for the Rouen distresses In
the Cathedral of Orleans it highly productive:
The Bishop assembled the pulpit and is reported to
have used the following words for his discourse:
This is no time for long sermons, but for good
works You are all acquainted with the calamities
of those whose cause. l an. come here this day to
plead before you. Once upon time, q King,
whose name is still cherished by u.s. said to his

words than these-I am your Bishop; you are

Gen. Hill has returned from that section with his

stolen and destroyed and many of the cit izens have
been arrested and sent off to Nexbern. The slaves

their owners We were getting along; tolerably well

careful examination of the battle field at Chan

trenched line to have been most sagaciously chosen

ing an abattis almost impossible by any storming
party. Their elevation is the highest within five
miles OF the: situation, and deep ravines or treach
erous swamps lie along their entire 'front.' with but
little exception Wherever their line was not thus
protected, and at every point commanding the roads
leading to Fredericksburg, and the country in that
direction, heavy works for artillery were construct.

and the pankroad form junction. and the land lies

The Situation of Lees Army.

Since the recent battles, commencing on We'd
nesday, April 29th, and ending on Wednesday,
Nay sth, our army on the Rappahannock has been
largely reinforced, and Notwithstanding our losses,
is now in better condition for defence or offence
than before the seven days contest. Gen. Hooker
mad written letter to Gen. Lee, asking permission
to send surgeons to attend the Yankee wounded,
Offering rations, medicines, &C. Gen. Lee granted
permission to the Yankee surgeons to come over
the lines-but declined the offer of medicines and
rations stating that he had an abundance of both.
The general tone Of Hookers letter was respectful
and digniied, and conceived in better spirit than
any similar epistle since the war commenced If
the Yankee General has been taught politeness, by
the severe castgations that he has received upon
the south bank of the Rappahannock, We have gain
ed much in that respect.
The Yankee surgeons acknowledged they had suf
fered terrible defeat and described the retreat
across the river as but little short of rout They
also stated that of their regiments, whose term
of enlistment was within one day Of expiring, pc
remptorily refused to take the onward road to
Richmond, and when force was attempted, fired into
