to Heaven, as previously reported.
AT last the wagon was pulled from
under him. and be was seit hanging.
As first he did not movea muscle, but
after few seconds his struggles were
iea,ful, until lie was extinct. When
the crowd had Dearly all dispersed, q
few Lrutes fired their guns aud revolvers
into his body. He was left hanging all
night, his friends claiming his body 10
the morning. About thousand per-
sons witnessed the hanging. The
leaders were quiet and orderly, but
some Of the crowd betrayed great bru'
tality in speech and gesture. Our 'n'
formant describes it as sickeuing
spectacle.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE.

We 6ud the following gratifying in-
telligence in regard to the condition Of
Davidson College-mingled with state
mens of the sad event Of the death OF
its houored President, during the Com
mepcement exercises, in the columns OF
"7As Southern Presbyterian and Pres
bytea1an lndez."
We left Hardscrabble on the morning
of the 18th, says the editor Of the South
ern Home, to attend the meeting of the
Board Of Trustees of this College. Our
Hardscrabble horse took US over the
road, twenty-five miles, in time to be
reported "tardy" by the very prompt
and efficient Secretary. A great deal
of business was before the Board, occu.
pying all the balance of Tuesday and
the whole Of Wednesday till near mid
night. Notwithstanding the great
losses s. by the war, the College has still
over $4,000 Of available funds, and
outstanding claims Of $4,000 more, the
last, however, generally ola doubtful
character. The new College building
cost over 500, 900, and that, with the
old buildings and other property there,
cannot be worth less than Sl50,O0O.
Davidson is therefore in better condition
financially than is any Southern college,
and we know of none turning out such
thorough scholars.
Wednesday morning, he writer of
this got telegram from Gen. Mat:
Ransom, stating that he was too unwell
to come on to deliver the address before
the Literary Society. This was great
disappointment TO the immense crowd
which had assembled to hear the dis
tingnished soldier and orator. At ! a.
m. that day, the gloom was intensified
by the death of the great aud good
President Of the College. The Board
promptly decided to omit the Com
mencement exercises. So, at 8 p. m,
the new chapel, the largest hall in the
Southern country, a beautiful cube
eighty feet on every side, was crowded
with the intelligence Of the laud to hear
the able and scholarly address Of Rev.
+. II. Johnston before the Alumni As
sociation, and 10 witness the distribution
Of diplomas. Thirty.two fine looking
young men received the degree Of A. B.
the valedictorian, first honor man, being
a son of Charlotte, Thomas Fl. Brem,
Jr. The young graduates and their lady
friends were disappointed at the pre-
termitting Of the usual oratorical dis
play, but the sad occasion justified the
action Of the Board. Trained IN i
Christian College under religious in
Auences, we look forward to life Of
usefulness for the accomplished gradu-
ates.
The Board OF Trustees is to meet on
:he fourth: Tuesday iu October, to supply
the vacancy so sadly mads in the COL
lece.

SOME YEARR AGO, Q French writer
said-"You will zee, one day, Of what
a society without a God is capable.
Paris will burn herself down With
her own hands" Those who have
visited the Pausheou there iu past daya
will remember Voltsire's marble
sarcophagus, with the scuIptured hand
thrust through the coffin lid, waving
. torch. The Conmane have fulfilled
the prophecy, and have shown to the
world wha, atrocities can be committed
where the authority ,f God is denied.

COTTON SITUATION.

The official report, for July, of the
National Agricultural Bureau, docs not
materially change the cotton crop pros
pect reported in June. Severe rain
storms have continued to obstruct cult
vation, and check the growth in the
States on the Gulf coast. The States
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida average lower in condition than
at the date Of the last report; the
Georgia apd Texas Average remains
unchanged, aud an Improvement is
indicated in the Caroliuas, Tennessee
and Arkansas. While no estimate can
at this early period be authoritatiyely
made, this information leads to the
following conclusions: With reduc
tion of 10 per cent, relatively low
condition, and season as long as that
of 1870, there should be gathered a
crop Of 100000 bales, or about as
large as that of 1869; with season Of
average length, 100000 bales; with
an early frost aud very unfavorable
season for picking, 100000 bales -
The prevalence of insects, with other
unpropitious circumstances, would pro-
baby reduce the crop to 2,5OO,Oc0
bales and steady improvcm ent Of the
plant for sixty days, with the longest
and most favorable picking season,
nigh, carry the aggregate up $780, 900
bales.
The New York cotton report, Of July
16. makes the total receipts since Sept.
/, 1870, 3,945 .s32 bales, againt 2.S54,-
I0sl for corresponding period last year.
IT is thought tl,a, the Mr.. WASHING
ISGToN who is described in the "Jour-
nal of q Young Lady in Virginia" as
paying a noctural visit to the bedroom
Of some young ladies dressed in a
womau's short gown aud petticoat, aud
overwhelming them with kisses, and
at:erward nearly soaring them to death
10 the cellar, was not GEO WASHING
TON the father Of his country, but Me-.
CoRBrN WAsHIxoroN. Indeed, there is
some doubt expressed as to the autheuti.
city of the book which contains the 40.
count of,his affair. The incident related
occurred in 1882, aud although the
Revolutionary war vas brough, to q close
ia that year, the young lady Who kept
this daily history Of events has not once
mentioned the war, or alluded to & sir-
gle incident Of it. There is not q military
title given to any person 10 the book,
although the battle Of yorktown had
been recently fought at hsr very door,
One thing is certain. II this story
about GEORGE WASHINGTON is true,
the one about the little hatcbes ia a
base falsehood. The 6rss President Of
the United States might haze INDUCED
in euch frolie rs that described 10 the
young lady's journal; but for the boy
who made the speech about the cherry
tree to have done 20 would have been
moral impossibility.
