DESERVED PUBLIC MENT1oN.-A con-
tributor to the Baltimore american, writing
from Harpers Ferry, among many other de-
tails, notes the following mention of the he
roic action, and uuselfshness of Mr.. james
T. Reed:
On this (Shenandoah) street Mr.. James T.
Reed. with great heroism, on horseback, using
the second horse when the first broke down,
saved the life of Mrs. Nunnamaker, a lady
over sixty years of age, by snatching her from
the door and placing her before him on the
horse, aud lifting her to the opposite wall of
the street, where she was caught by MIR. q.
Trail thence he returned and took Mr.. Jas.
Steadman, wife and children, Mrs. Becraft
and son, and some others, including the son OF
J. W. Neer, whom he found clinging to
window of the storeroom of Reed d Hopwood.
Mr.. Reed had no time to get into the counting
room, and his papers, very important to him,
were in desk, submerged, and few only Of
them saved, in damaged condition.
This gentleman lost everything he was in
terested in on this street, where his business
Law, including the Shenandoah ferry boats,
ropes, and fixtures He seems to have been
specially sufferer by this flood, he having
important papers in the possession OF MIR.
John. G. Cockrell, who lost them all, together
with his own, at the house Of Mr.. Allstadt,
his son-in-law, which was destroyed. Mr.
Reeds noble sacrifice of his own property to
save the lives of citizens merlted better fate.
While engaged in this laudable effort the swift
waters cut him off from returning to his store.

NEW ENGLAND WORK.

The Macon Telegraph & Messenger
says in an article deprecating the North
ern education Of Southern youths;
"The abolitionists hated the Union as
they 'hated hclP and they plunged the
country into war to dissolve and dishon-
or it. If there had never been any abo-
litionists in this country, there never
would have been any secession, and by
the end of this century there would not
have been any slavery. They, and
they alone, are responsible at the bar Of
History, and in the sight of God, for the
disgrace, and ruin, and misery that now
stain the National name, and clog and
hinder the National growth.
Let the South train her own sons and
daughters now, hencefortA and forever,
so that if in the Providence of God, the
evil day should ever come again-which
may HE forbid--when the two sections
confront each other in deadly struggle
over opposing forms Of civilization or
political creeds, there may be no rene
gadcs or deserters from this cause.
We are for Nationality in its broadcast
aud noblcst sense, but that is bastard,
dangerous Nationality that demands of
those who would worship at its shrine,
tho remuneration Of home faith, and
home training--the base abandonment
of brothers and birthplace. We de-
nounce that Nationality as more false,
more hurtful and more degrading than
the most bigotcd, unreasoning, and vim
dictive sectionalism that ever existed"

PRovINCIALTSM.

For expressing our dislike for the Pc
culiar provincial habits, manners, Gus
toms and tastes of the radical Puritan,
the Atlanta Era charges us with Pro-
vincialsm. OF course. We were nur-
turcd in tho land settled by the Cavalier
and Hugucnot, under the genial rays of
a Southern sun, where the Puritan some
times wanders and imbibes a more lib
eral civilization. 1t is the lot of man to
be provincialized and his advance in
civilization is only 10 be measured by
comparing his provincialism with that OF
other sections or nations. The Puritan
who brought to New England and incor-
porated in his ProvinciaIism much ia
benefit his race, brought also "an intol-
Grant, presumptuous, vulgar and turbu-
lont spirit" which will not be at peace
itself nor will it leave other contiguous
provincialisms at peace, and which insists,
with greed that is Unsuitable, upon the
tribute of other lands, and with purpose
not to be cvaded, upon stamping its own
provincial impress upon the tastes, man
ners, habits and customs of other people.
1t is at war with all other provincial
isms, whether they be Pagan, Turk OF
Christian, and war as INSCRIPTIONS, as
cruel, as inhuman, as that they lately
waged against the South in defiance al
once of the spirit of the Bible and q
common Constitution.
