A paragraph has been going the rounds

a paragraph has been gong the rounds
of the Republican press as follows
"From the records of the Elmira prison,
which were taken to Washington for use in
the Surratt trial, it is found that during the
Spring of 1866, 5,O25 rebel prisoners were
confined here during that time, and that
only six deaths occurred in three months. %
The Elmira Gazette corrects this state
ment, and gives the figures to prove its
falsity. That paper has taken pains to as
certain the facts. and finds that of the num-
Der confined at that place during the Spring
of 1866, viz 5,027, there were during the
three months S84 deaths--a slight discrep-
ancy of S7S ! In March, the number of
deaths was 1876 in April, 265 in May,
124 making total of 8S4. And if Feb
ruary was included, which gives 426 more,
the total for four months will be 1,311

A Generous GIFT.

We learn from the Rev. L. p. Walton,
agent of Washington College, of which
General Lee is president, that the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher has contributed
81, OG0 toward Southern educational fund
in connection with that institution. Mr..
Beecher's practice, in this case, is as good
as his preaching. We hope that rich Re

crosby. Mr.. Beecher is eloquent; out this

North Carolina Manufactures,

We are glad whenever it is in our power
to notice the signs of improvement and of
the division of labor among our people
The following private letter from our friend
E. A Nogler Esq, of Salem, we take the

ted to excite Il similar spirit OF enterprise

THE FAMOUS sEDuTION CASE.

The trial Of Col r. NJ Edwards for Sc
dition," which occurred ia the Circuit
Court at this place last week, resulted in
the acQuittsl Of the accused Our readers
generally are too familiar with the chsrac-
ter of the case % render recapitulaiion of
its features at all necessary. 1t is the first
one Of the kind that has been tried in this
part Of the country, and as the parties con-
cerned in getting the prosecution up are,
no doubt, most heartily ashamed of it, il
will probably be come time before another
is found on the docket The idea of in
dieting a man like Col Edwards, whose
loyalty during the war and since has been
above suspicion, for language uttered in
debate and qualified upon a coutingency,
Is little too intense, in view Of the fact
that the Radical papers throughout the
State are filled, from day to day and week
10 week. with articles Of the worst and most
iHhamnatory character, written and pub
lisbed expressly to stir up bitterness and
strife
We were not present 81 the trial, bui
understand ihatthe counsel for the defense
took occasion to show up the instigators o
such suits in anything but enyiable colors.

MRS. LINCOLN JEALOUS.

In 1864 the receptions again commenced
at the White House. For the first two
wears of Mr.. Lincoln's administration, the
President selected lady to join in the
promenade with him, which left Mrs. Lin
coin free to choose an escort from among
the distinguished gentlemen that always
surrounded her on such occasions. This
custom at last was discontinued by Mrs
Lincoln.
Elizabeth p'-I was sewing in her room,
and she was seated in a comfortable arm
chair" 'Lizabeth, have been thinking
over a little matter And you are well
aware, the President, at every reception,
selects lady to lead the promenade with
him. Now it occurs to me that this custom
is an absurd one On such occasions our
guests recognize the position of the Presi-
dent as first Of all consequently he takes
the lead in everything; well, now, if they
recognize his position they should also
recognize mine. / am his wife and should
lead with him. And yet he offers his arm
to any other lady in the room, making her
first with him and placing NE second.
The custom is an absurd one, and mean
to abolish it. The dignity that | owe to
my position, as Mira. President, demands
that / should not hesitstate any longer to
act"
Mrs Lincoln kept her word. Ever after
this she either led the promenade with the
President or the President Walked alone or
with a gentleman. The change was much
remarked but the reason why it was made,
believe, was never generally known.
MRS. LINCOLN USES THE POLITICIANS.
In 1864 much doubt existed in regard to
the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln, and the
White House was besieged by all grades Of
politicians. Mrs. Lincoln was often blamed
for having a certain class of men around
her
al have an object in view, 'Lizabeth, j."
she said to me in reference to this matter.
"In political canvass it is policy to cult
vate every element of strength. These
men have influence, and we require inhu-
enee to re-elect Mr.. Lincoln. l will be
clever to them till after the election, and
then, if we remain al the White House, i
| will drop every one of them and let them
know very plainly that | only made tools
of them. They are an unprincipled set
| and / don't mind q little double-dealing
with them"
"Does Mr.. Lincoln know what your pur-
pose is?" / asked.
"God no; he would never sanction
such proceeding, 80 keep him in the
dark, and will tell him of it when all Is
over. He is too honest TO take the proper
care of his own interests, so feel it to be
my duty to electioneer for him"
