1t is decidedly a good paper. We
thank Mr. Reese for sending. it to. us,
and also for his clever notice of the
editor of the Herald. We copy it:
| CAPTAIN JOHN G.. NoBLE.-Those
of our citizens who remained in Gin
ton, during the war, well remember
this gentleman. By the following, TIA
ken from the Baton Rouge AdUocoke.
/ it will be seen that he has returned to
his old vocation. May his patronage
be commensurate with his merits, for
more devoted and chivalrous sun
porter of the cause of the South. 1t
would be difficult to name.
Yes, that is it. A more devoted

who now receive the warmest en-
coninms from the r reconstructed

There are twelve counties to hear
from, but it is believed that they will
rather increase than diminish the ma

by either Republicans or Democrats.
The latter predicted revolution in
Michigan, but we fail to see any indi
cations of it in the result. ~.
