stopped for the present season. The late rains
have damaged the toll road TO the extent of at

GAS all the negroes are to be turned

Poor creatures, their doom is sealed
They or the white race must perish
Which will it be? Will t b e North

We are sure to have difficulty with the

arms to defend ourselves with. As for

JOHN STUART MIL4-A foreign
correspondent who saw this distin-
guished man at public meeting in
Westminster, just before his election
to Parliament, describes him thus
"He is about five feet ten inches
in height; of strong, angular frame,
thin in flesh, bald, with a sharp ana
Ilytic face. His forehead is high, but
not broad. He has an immense de-
vclopment of the perceptivcs, of COM
parison, an d human nature, with
less causality and ideality, and again
very large yeneration and tirmness.
1t is a head and face exquisitely re-
fined and spiritualized. 1t was, of
course, a new experience for this
bookish and clustered man to adj
dress public meetings, and to be the
object of such tremendous physical
demonstrations Of omage; but
through the whole evening his self
command was perfect, the only ex-
ternal sign of agitation being in the
flush upon his face, and a slight ner-
vous twitching beneath the eyes du-
ring the frequent salvos ofapplausc.
OF Mr.. Mills speech on that occa-
sion-one OF his first political efforts
the same writer says:
at was massive, nobly simple
and lucid exposition of what is call
ed 'the great open question between
capital and labor. 1t was in the
quiet, conversational style, without
any pretence to oratory, terse and
epigrammatical. He seemed LIKE
some venerable and benignant teach
or, with his reverent pupils sitting
and standing about him by thou
sands, their heads strained forward
in the attitude Of persons listening
eagerly, lest one syllable of his high,
sweet and thoughtful eloquence be
lost. His address lasted about an
hour. Then, as is the admirable
custom in English political meetings
came the time for questions. In
the present instance they were hand
led up to the chairman in writing,
and read by him. They seemed to
range over every topic that can pos
8ibly engage the attention of a Brit
fish Legislature; and Mr.. Mills re
plies, which he gave instantaneously
and with an indescribable look Of
delight, were in all respects most
admirable, fair, concise, luminous,
Ipungent aud practical. "

SHARP PRACTICE.-There is gen
tleman residing in the westerly part OF
this city, Of whom the following story is
told He is known among the merchants
of Boston and New York as an intelli-
gent and successful shipmaster. Some
time before the fall Of Wilmington, and
when that place was in the full tide OF
successful blockade running, our shipmas.
ter was urged by certain parties to I'M
dertake the venture of running cargo
of cotton out of Wilmington and into
Liverpool, they promising to provide a
suitable vessel for the purpose. He f.
nally consented, ran into Wilmington,
sbipped his cotton and ran out again sue
cessfulIy evading our blockading squad
ron. Once safely out, however, he rails
ed the stars and stripes and headed bis
vessel for New York, arrived there safe
", sold the vessel and cargo for a hand
same sum, and with a part of the pro-
ceeds bought house in this city, which
he paid for in gold. 1t is not very like
ly that the prime movers in the affair
will ever make much stir to recover their
vessel or cargo, though they will not be
very likely TO ask that man to run the
blockade for them again.-Lynn Bullet
