North Carolina in 1867, wbowas mail
boy in North Carolina in the Revolution
airy War. is now, and has been for sixty
years. resident of Madison County, KY.
He walks three miles frequently, to in

Colonel Charles ID. Pennebaker, Ken
lucky State Agent. arrivedt at Frankfort
last week with sl2l 600, pArtof the balance
due the State of Kentucky from the Gener-
al Government.
The Mount Sterling Sentinel says: "The
action of the proprietors of the Lexington
and Big Sandy Railroad is highly encour-
aging. They have placed the construction
of the road to this point, within year. in
the limits of probability. From the intel
ligent interest manifested by the people of
Central Kentucky. we draw an augury.
We must not lose sight of this road"
Two young gentlemen and two ladies
went "picknicking" OIL the 90 Tow-head,' -
above Louisville, a few days ago, spending
the day most pleasantly, but on returning
to the place where the skif had been left
found that the waves from a passing
steamer had washed the boat away and
the two couple were compelled to camp out
all night.
The rebel Democracy of Campbell Coun-
ty had a lively time at Alexandria last
Saturday, at convention. They spent
five hours cursing and quarreling.
The proprietors of eight or ten coffee
houses, or saloons, were, fined $40 each in
Covington q few days ago, for selling in
toxicating liquors on the Sabbath day.
Two men got into a quarrel in Coving-
ton last Sunday named respectively Ben
jamin Myers and Elias Jacobs. Both used
knives, and both were badly cut.
The Hopkinsviile Conservative says:
Hopkinsville hasa population of three
Thousand persons. The population is
thrifty and enterprising. several OF our
largest houses sell goods to the amount of
about two hundred thousand dollars per
annum. Christian County Is thirty-six by
twenty-four miles in extent. 1t hal pop
ulation, we believe, in 1860, of y, 600, and
il must now have over 1000 inhabitants.
Tie maximum tobacco crop reached Ii 900
hogsheads, and since the freeing OF the
slaves, 1T must have produced at least
seven thousand hogsheads per annufn.
The wheat crop is large and of superior
quality. In corn and hogs it is equal to
most OF the best coUnties in the State.

Congress-.

It seems to be definitely settled that
there will be July session of Con-
gress. The indignation everywhere
felt because of the unwarrantable at
tempt on the part of Attorney Gen.
eral STANBERRY, to set aside the
provisions of the Reconstructio n
Law enacted by the last Congress, be
a written opinion" will have the
effect to force Congressman to WASH
iington, however much they may dis
like session during hot weather.
The business of Congress is simple,
and ought to b, quickly disposed of.
There is no necessity for a long ses-
sion. The one plain dutyis to ma ke
the Reconstruction Act so clear that
an Attorney General cannot. give it
an ambiguous construction. The law
may be so amended that the Presi-s
dent cannot interfere with any of its
provisions without plainly and pal
pably disregarding and disobeying the
law making power. In case he should
attempt anything so contumacious,
the work OF the Impeachment Con-
mittee would be completed.
Congress, at its July session. ought
not to attempt new legislation. The

We are certain that majority of
our people regard the building of the
road as advantageous to their pros
perity. The only fear we have is, that
the opposition to the road will be un-
dervalued, and that the friends of the
enterprise may not be sufficiently ac-
tive in organizing their forces and
polling their full strength. We want
the moral as well as the pecuniary
assistance of our city to make the road
a complete success at an early day.

city-littie better, in fact, for durabil-
ity than the three inch planking in
vogue a few years ago. As it has
been more thoroughly tested in Chi
cago than anywhere else, this tes-

faith of those who have urged its
adoption In other cities.

The New York Times says it was
not mistaken in thinking that the
Southern Press and Southern men,
really desirous of effecting the resto-
ration OF the Southern States to the
Union, would be the most decided in
opposing Presidential interference of
any kind with the actual progress of
events under the law of Congress.
The Charleston Ne,cs of the 18th. in
long and able article on the opinion
of the Attorney General, gives some
very cogent reasons for hoping that
the President will not act upon the
views which that opinion embodies.
While it comedies the best intentions
to those Southern papers which, os-
tensibly in the interest of the South.
oppose the law of Congress, it says
that considerate Southern men recog-
nize that as the only practicable meth
cd of restoration, and all they ask is
that they may be allowed to act under
the law, according to its clear and ev-
ident intent. The Ne,os says that the
South have learned how unfortunate
for them it was that the advice given
that they should accept the Constitu-
tional Amendment, fell unheeded.
and it hopes they will not again be
lediinto similar error. In the APP
peals for interference made first to
the Supreme Court, and now to the
President, it sees only prolonged con-
troversy and certain injury to the
Southern States. ho lhit0itEs flttfI
