institutions A clergyman visiting school in
Maine was particularly struck with the intelli-
gent appearance of little urchin Of seven land
proceeded to ask some questions for the pur-
pose of drawing him out. ''What do you ex-
pect to do for living when you grow up?'
asked the worthy divine. Il mean to be Pres
ident was the reply Indeed, said the clergy
man, delighted to learn that the little fellow
cherished so lofty an ambition; and if you
get to be President. what will you do then ?
Why, make my father and mother. and my
brothers and sisters, and my uncles and aunts.
and all my cousins rich,' was the somewhat
unexpected rejoinder.

WAR IN SOUTH CARoLISA.-under this
head, a telegraphic dispatch from Columbia,
s. c., brings the following: -.
COLUMBIA, March GA large body OF
armed men from East Tennessee and North
Carolina have made their appearance in York
and Chester counties, and fighting has been 60,
inc on for several days Major Whitehead, of
the Eighteenth Infantry, stationed at York
vile. arrived this morning, and reports that
the most horrible outrages have been perpetra-
ted in those counties since Saturday night by
both the colored militia and the ku-klux Or
ganization. On Monday Captain Williams. a
mulatto, commanding company OF the militia,
was taken and hanged near Carmel Hill and a
number of his men were inhumanly whipped.
The negroes retaliated, and since then fighting
has been continuous. Major Whitehead re-
ports that the negro militia company command
ed by Williams were defeated on Monday
night, and fed to his camp at Yorkville. He
dsarmed them: and now reports to the Cover,
nor for orders. A detachment oftroops is now
at the scene of disturbance. y
How far this account may be exaggerated
We do not know. as the accounts of disturban
ces at the South, are, just now, generally
stretched to the utmost extent. 1t is admitted
in the above, however, that the "outrages' arc
committed on ''both sides.
