Hon John Pool.

To this gentleman belongs the unenvi.
BILE distinction of having defeated the pas
sage of bill removing the political disa-
bilities of sill persons who had been elected
to Office in this State in the late election,
and many others. And that which renders
the act more detestable is that he at first pre-
tended to the author of the bill, Mr.
Boyden, that he favored it. Immediately
after this, he went to Raleigh and, as a
matter of course, had a conference with
Gov. Holden and the other representatives
of the Radical party in the Legislature.
He then telegraphed and wrote back to his
colleagues that it had been agreed that the
disabilities of no man should be removed
unless he secured the recommendation of
the State Executive Republican Committee.
But for this conduct of Mr.. Pool, there is
little doubt that the bill would have passed.
At least with his assistance the bill could
have been gotten through.
Pool, and others who sustain him, are
bat ''heaping up wrath against the day of
wrath" The present condition cannot
last, and when the CT ange comes they will
meet with the scorn and indignation which
their conduct merits. They will yet live to
curse the day which gave them an odious
and precarious ascendency.

Judge r.. j. Moses.

This gentleman, who has just been elec-
ted Chief Justice by the Radical Legis-
lature of South Carolina, will be recollec-
ted as one of the leading Secessionists of
that State. Commissioner from his State
to North Carolina in the Spring of 1861,
he did much to arouse the people of this
State to Secession. We recollect his adj.
dress before the Goldsboro' Convention,
the first bold Secession meeting in the
State, was characterized by the most ad-
vanced views, and he insisted that Eastern
North Carolina should join with South
Carolina in case the Middle and Western
portion of the State should hold back.
Having obtained the Chief Justiceship,
and his son the Speaker of the House, like
the Holdens of this State, the reward o.
having encouraged and promoted Seces
sion, has been secured from the moral al
we'll as political chaos which has ensued

Movements OF HIr. Davis.

Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS and family sailed
from Quebec on Saturday last for Europe.
It has been stated in Washington paper
that in his coming trial at Richmond he
will appear by counsel. This may or may
not be, SO says the Baltimore SUI but we
have reason to believe that the circumstan-
ces under which Mr.. DAVIS sails for Europe
are such as would make it desirable to re-
main there with a view of providing for
his family. Unlike many of the leading
public men of this country in civil life, Mr..
DAVIS is not a lawyer. His original pro
fession was that of arms. He, therefore,
cannot resort to practice at the bar as so
many others have done whose fortunes
were wrecked during the war. Hence other
employment is necessary. and the expected
opportunity of commercial connection
with house in England for American bust
ness probably now takes him abroad.

This able and eloquent gentleman, who
has endeared himself to the good people OF
this State by his manly and noble defense
of the honor and welfare of North Carolina
in the late so-called Convention, and by
his gallant services in the present Legisla
ture, was honored with handsome recep-
ton il Charlotte, during recent sojourn
in that city, en- route from Lincolnton to
Raleigh. His speech on the occasion is
most highly spoken Of
Captain DURHAM has made his name q
household word in every family In the
State that honors manliness and truth. He
is regarded as one of the rising statesmen,
and North Carolina in her day of redemp
ton, will yet honor those fearless sons who
stood by her side in her hours of darkness
and gloom.

Washington College.

We had the pleasure of seeing in our
city, day or two since, the Rev. J. L.
KIRKPATRICK, D. D., Professor of Moral
Philosophy at Washington College. Vir-
ginia We refer to the announcement of
this Institution in our advertising columns.
With the decline Of our State University
doubtless many of the young men of this
State will seek instruction at one or other
of the Colleges in our own State, and those
of the South which have attained national
reputation. Among others, one of the
most prominent is Washington College.
better known from it's early endowment by
the distinguished patriot and soldier whose
name it bears, OR from the energy, talents
and influence of the distinguished patriot
and soldier who directs its fortunes. The
names of WASHINGTON and LEE, now
blended in its history, gives it promi-
nence grateful to every patriotic heart in
| the country.
Since the accession of General LEE to
the Presidency of Washington College, its
success has been unprecedented. In less
than three years since its reorganization
its Faculty number twenty-four and more
than four hundred students crowd its halls,
gathered from every Southern and some
Northern States. The distinguished Presi-
dent, who guided with such glorious genius
and skill the destinies of the South during
the war, is far too practical and appreciates
the wants of his countrymen too much to
lag behind others in establishing depart.
ments adapted to our present necessities.
Consequently he has added those practical
branches of knowledge which are designed
to "educate men to speedily become prac-
tically useful in developing the resources
of the country" Sectarianism is excluded
and the elective system of study is the
very foundation of the scheme of instruc-
ton. The College is located in Lexington,
In the most healthy and beautiful portion
of the Valley of Virginia. The prices of
tuition and board are moderate
