PERsoNAL.-On yesterday we briefly
chronicled the arrival in our city of Mr..
j. A. II. st. Andrew, special correspond
ent of the Albany On. " Eceniag Journal.
MIR. st. Andrew is an Englishman of fine
education, being connected with the press
of that country, and during the past year
has made valuable contributions to the
Albany Journal, the New York hide
pendent, the Watchword, the Troy Times,
Troy Wing, and other American periodi-
calls. He has recently accepted the Vice
Presidency of the National Virginia Settle
ment Association, and his presence in our
State at this time is due to his connection
| with that association. saI.s
On Monday evening, October Both, Mr..
st. Andrew was the recipient of most flat
ering testimonials of esteem extended to
him by his numerous friends in Albany
and other portions of the State of New

banquet was spread at the Watkins House
in his honor, which was graced by the pre-
sence of many gentlemen, distinguished
alike for their ability and public spirit in all
matters affecting the veal of the public at
large On the convivial occasion letters
were read from many gentlemen Of promi-
nence who could not be present, all OF
which spoke in the highest terms, not only
of the gentleman in whose honor
the banquet was given, but Of
the objects of the association
with which he had connected himself; and
appropriate speeches, poems, and resolu'
tons were delivered by those who were in
attendance. The Albany and Troy papers
spoke of the affair at the time as being Q
most hearty and fitting testimonial to d
gentleman who had proven himself deserv'
ing of the highest esteem and regard from
his fellow men, and cordially indorsing th'
objects and aims of the National Virgin;
Settlement Association. We welcome Mr.
, st. Andrew and his associates to Virginia

lNTHE CITY. jackson Il. Taylor, Esq,
editor and proprietor of the Peoples De-
fender, published at Newman, Georgia, has
been in our city for few days, and gave
us a call this morning. Mr.. Taylor was
for time resident of this city, where he
made many friends, and during his present
visit has been greeted with great cordality
by many old acquaintances. He left for
his home at two O'Clock this afternoon.
BY the way, Mr.. Taylor is an inventive
genius as well as writer Of fine abilities.
He has recently obtained patent for a
combination lock, of his own invention,
designed for street doors of stores and
dwellings. In company with Mr.. I. we
visited the machine shops of Messrs. Sloat
& Addington, Of this city, this morning,
where working model of the lock has just
been manufactured. An unprofessional
inspection of the invention leads US to thu
conclusion that it is impregnab e, without {
previous knowledge of the combination
used in setting it. Contracts will soon bt
made for the manufacture of the lock, whel
it will receive the practical tests of use.
