Ny attention was attracted by an article
under The heading .'One Of General Fisk's
staff on Joe. Williams which appeared in
yesterdays issue Of the Press and Times,
seems to be very much mistaken. He says ::
''0n his way there his great love of no
toriety showed itself by his wearing uni
form with sword, sash and belt. which be
had no right to wear he not even belong
ing to the army"
And in the conclusion of his letter
"This conduct, with other circumslan-
ees, rendered his further connection with
Major Stearns' headquarters obnoxious,
and he was dismissed from the service"
VIII the Major please tell me how
man can be ~dismissed flom the service
to which he :'not even belonged" The
truth is, Toe. Williams enlisted in compa-
ny A Of the 18th United States colored in
fantry, on or about the 25th day Of Sep
TENDER, 1868. was in command of the
regiment at that tine, and Williams vas
specially recommended to me by the late
Major Stearns. Furthermore, he had re-
commentators from Senator Pomeroy,
Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, in 1851,
Commodore FOota and Mr.. Usher, Seere-
tary Of the Interior. On account of these
recommendations I appointed him Sergeant
Major Of the regiment. He was honorably
mustered out of the service with his COM
pany and regiment on the 10th of January,
1866.

More than twenty millions Of people in
the North and about zen millions in the
South are daily working to pay from 6 to
10 der cent. interest on nearly one thous-
and millions Of debt, which is to go ex-
clusively into the hands of some 800, 600
holders of United States bonds. This
bonded aristoCracy pay none of this tax
This is Radical love for the people, and
Radical hostility to pampered aristooracy.
Every colored man in the whole South. who
is able to raise a bale Of cotton, pays from
fifteen to twenty dollars of this tax. It
does not go to pay the debt, but TO pay the
interest to the rich bond holder. Brown
low makes no complaint OF this. He is
willing to give the rich greater riches, and
see the distressed laborers of Tennessee,
black and white, made poorer to furnish
Injuries for the already opulent. He
would even go farther and enrich the para
sites of his ili-gOtten power, by adding an
intolerable load Of State taxation to the &C
cumulated burdens Of Federal demand -
Union and Dispatch.

To the County Courts of the State.
Do not fail to appoint Judges in all the
precincts at your July term. This is re-
CURED to be done by the County Courts Of
eBch county,, at the session next proceed
ing the election day, which is the first day
of August next, Code sec. 82I. The law
is not changed on that subject If this be
neglected, as the law is amended in the
last Franchise Act, sec. 10, page 81, the
power devolyes upon the Commissioner of
Registration. Some have enormously
supposed that the power has been taken
from the County Courts by that act
1t will be seen the Commissioner is au-
thoFized to appoint in cases when the
sheriffs by the existing law could not do so,
and that was only in case the County Court
failed to attend to that duty, or the per-
sous they appointed failed to act. See Code
sec 842. Whatever may have been in
tended, the act of the 25th of February,
1867, construed with said sections of the
Code. admits of no other construction-it
is certainly plain--toO plain for controver-
sy.

The son, unable to speak, waved him aside
with his hand, gasping the single word
elizabeth ?" while the eagerness of his pale
face expressed the questioning more earnest
ly than language could have done.
The old Quaker pointed toward the cabin.
The young man rushed thither, and in q
moment the long divided lovers were lock-
cd in each others arms.
The elder West had followed his son, and
saw the embrace in which both forgot theii
long years Of cruel separation. Again and
again the young artist drew back to gaze on
his beloved, and clasped her again to his
full heart.
Hast thou no welcome, Benjamin, for
thy old father?" at length asked the old
man, who had stood quietly for some min
utes, smiling at the joy he witnessed.
"That l have, iather!' cried the son |;
and warm greeting was given to the ven
cradle parent, who needed no apology for
having been at first neglected. The happy
party proceeded the same day to London.

hand on him to whom her faith was pledged.
The years that had flown since their parting
had added intellectual grace to her girlsh
beauty with touching interest never i'm
parted till sorrow has chastened the gay
spirit Of youth As she stood at The alter,
the meek light OF truth upon her brow-her
eyes beaming with the gentle and loving
expression habitual to them-all who saw
her thought so beautiful bride had never
stood in that sacred place.

THE CENTRAL STA TIES.

In all respects, the material interests of
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia are very similar. Situated, geo
graphically, as the centre of the old States,
they are SO like in their physical character
lstics, not only us respects soil but also min
eral treasures that they might form one
great homogeneous Commonwealth.
These States are bound together, indeed,
by ties of nature, indestructiblc, whose active
influence will endure forever. The Della
ware and the Susquehanna fasten, with per-
petual bonds, Pennsylvania to Delaware and
Maryland, while the Potomac unites in a
common interest, Virginia and Maryland.
So, too, is the effect of the railroads, next
most influential after rivers. The great Pen
ansula system Of tbeNslaware Line, tcrmi-
mating at Wilmington, centres all the Eastern
Shore ofMaryland and Virginia as well as all
Delaware, at that city, and at the same time
with Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania metro
polls gain-cxcluding the character Of
the +. w. & i. road, which is rather link
in national line the Northern Central
railroad following the Susquehanna, and the
Cumberland Valley road, terminating at Ia
gcrstown, unite Central Pennsylvania with
Maryland. And when, at last, by the con-
structon of the McConnelsvillc railroad.
pittsburg shall secure her coveted new out
let to tide water, Western Pennsylvania and
Maryland will have new union.
That marvellous inland sea, the Chesa-
peakc, makes ncighbors of all the country
whose streams fall into it, from Port Deposit
10 Norfolk, and far up the streams, the James,
the York, the ltappahannock, the Potomac,
that drain the magnificent counties of tide
water Virginia. So does the lovely valley
which nature has scooped out from between
mountains-ihc Shenandoah Valley, in Vir.
gina the Cumberland Valley, in Pcnnsyl
yania--but both simply continuation Of the
same. From far up into Pennsylvania, the
streams that course down this lovely vale
over their limestone channels, fall into thu
Potomac, and drain into the mother ocean
far, far down, at Fortress Monroe.
That this is not mere Imagination, this sup
po. scd physical unity, may be readily seer
Lv nm examination of the map. 1t will bI
found ,,, It the water drainage Of the State
we have M ued is almost entirely into th'
Delaware md Chesapeake, and that excep
,hc e,rooms of Wa stern Pennsylvania falling
into the Ohio. they H. we no other water sys

cal and physical unity, we nic iooAi's 'oi
