DIcTATIoN.-A few Of the extreme Radi-
Gals of Washington coruty held meeting re-
Gently at Fayetteville, in which Lafayette
Gregg and f. d. Ham were the prominent
leaders in the movement, denouncing the APP
pointment of Registers made by Gen'l. Ord,
for that county and recommending others
We understand that the three gentlemen APP
pointed, have always been consistent union
men, and two Of them at least members ofthe
Federal army. But they are honest men and
cannot be controlled by those miserable hell
hounds of perdition, therefore the resolution
and petition for their removal No man. In
their opinion. is competent and suitable
Register, who is not an open-mouthed Radi-
cal. In making appointment of Registers, we
have no doubt Gen. Ord and his subordinates
have used the utmost discretion in their Sc
lections, without regard to whether he was
an active Radical or not. The only question
being are they men of integrity and compe-
tent to fulfill the duties of the Office and COM
mand the confidence of the people generally
ofthe county. What is true Of this county,
is no doubt true ofall the others--and the raw
ings of these ultra Radicals at Fayetteville
will have about as much effect with the COM
manding General as the barking of so many
dogs.

A WORD To IusBANDs.-Has anybody
ever written upon the responsibility
which rests upon husband with regard
to the education of his wife? or course
we know what you will say about her be-
ing supposed to have " finished her edu-
cation" before marriage, and all that;
and yet you and we know that she begins
as new an education with him as if she
had never seen the alphabet. His views,
his feelings, his ideas, are they nothing
to her, if she loves him? Years after,
when they who "knew her as q girl"
come to talk with her as a matron, do
they not find her husband reflected in
every sentence, either for good or evil?
OF course, the more strongly woman
loves, the more completely is her own
identity absorbed in her husbands. This
is a point which is too much neglected
by married men. A good husband is al
most certain to have good wife; and if
she be" not so good as he could wish
at the commencement of their married
life, he can soon educate her up to the
proper mark. And, on the other hand,
he can so educate her down as to render
his house purgatOry, and, perhaps,
bring upon himself and his family the
greatest agony and keenest pangs of dis
grace which husband or children can
feel.

TIE PRICE OF FLoUR,-The price of flour
oughtto be tending downward. A New York
paper states that in that city. California wheat,
which recently sold there for SO 60 a bushel.
will now hardly command SO. Australia is
said to be overburdened with wheat awaiting
freight to England, and England is sending
eargoes of California wheat to the United
States.
A North Carolina paper says the wheat
crop in that State is unprccedcntly fine, and
ifno accident happens to it, the yield will be
better than for years.
The Pennsylvania papers concur IN the
opinion that the coming wheat crop will
probably be the largest ever harvested in that
State.
The planters ofthc eastern counties of North
Carolina have failed to get stand Of cotton,
and many of them are now ploughing up their
cotton fields and planting corn.
In Dadc county, Georgia, they have already
commenced harvesting, and in Central Geor-
gia, we learn from the Rome Courier, the
prospect of II good wheat crop Is unabated,
and Is, In fact, now almost certain.
The san Francisco Bulletin says It Is con-
cedcd that this years harvest will be the most
abundant ever known in California.

two hundred acres of cotton and seventy five

before another season comes around in these
cultivators that will make them perfect and
practical in all their parts and perfecthilly

working OF them this season Is more of an ex-
pertinent to test their adoption to the work
intended them. We noticed in the Kentucky
Statesman that correspondent, under the
signature of"S.' who was travelling through
the country, writing from Fort Smith makes
the following notice:
Eight miles from this place, at Van Buren,,
saw on exhibition a pillow invented by Mr..
flayman Ga brother ofour worthy ex-council-
man lIayman) that Is certainly one on the
greatest inventions ofthe age. IL is on wheels,

other plows are attached, changing it into
planter and cultlyator, and will with one

desire. This Is said to be great improve
ment on the patent plow He has also made
improvements on the cotton gin and press
This plow and cultivator will soon be patented

the scene as far as eye and Imagination could

Married on Tuesday night, May 7th, at
Fortress Monroe, Carroll Hall, by the Rev.
o. S. Barton, Rector of Christ Church,
Norfolk, Frederick McGinnis to Ellen
Barnes.
The above deserves more than passing
notice. 1t is not often, in these days, that
we witness such faithfulness and devotion
on the part of servants. Both parties be-
longed TO Mr.. Davis household and have
shared with him ard his family their long
protracted Imprisonment. They were his
servants in Richmond and have remained
true and devoted to him through good and
evil report. When, after the evacuation of
Richmond, the family were compelled to
move southwark, Ellen could not be per-
suaded to leave them, but faithfully shared
with them the toll and suffering of those
fearful days. When, after Mr. Davis capture
and his removal to the fortress, his anxious,
almost distracted wife was waiting for It'd
ings from him who by the chances of war
had been thus cruelty torn from her side,
Frederick, ever faithful and true, sought
her, offering his services to 80 to him and

amily would never permit such an ex-
pendture, his services were offered freely
and gladly, without reward or remunera.
