The Widow st.newui,I ae;sso,

In letter to the Augusta Constitu-
tlonalist, from the Warm Springs,
North Carolina, the following para
graph occurs:
Among the most notable visitors, [
will first mention, with a raverential
bow, the widow Of the immortal Stone
wall Jackson, who reached here, in
company with her little daughter,
eleven years old a few days since.
Modest aud unaffected in her manners,
Of sweet, intelligent, and animated
face, She moves through life as though
unconscious of her share OF the glory
of her husbands name. Mrs. jackson
is quite young. 1 should say between
twenty-five and thirty, of medium
height, and beautiful face. She lives
now at Charlotte, in this State.

The Friend of Temperance says:
The people in Camden and Currituck
counties are making fine crops this
year. They planted but little cotton.
Last year they tried cotton extern
slvely and failed. This year they re-
turned to corn, and if no damage is
sustained, they will make an abund-
ance.

In these times OF dull trade and patient

day OF the last sale nine cars went out
from the depot closely packed with men,
who were desirous OF investing. The
sale was great auccess-the success, in
fact, oi the year. Tho prices realized
were satisfactory, and payments have
been prompt To be sure, Mr.. Hopkins
understands the art oil advertising. But

see, was in that place on Wednesday, and
the editor makes the following statement
in connection with the announcement:
Mr.. Fowler, It will be remembered, was
one oil the Tennessee Senators at the time
ot the accession Of Andrew johnson 10 the
Presidency, and followed the fortunes oil
President johnson: He represents that
political affairs at the South are In q de-
plorAble condition. he thinks President
Grant 10 candidate for third term, and
that the expansion element In the Demo
cratic party will defeat the nomination OF
Thurman. Mr.. Fowler Is Of opinion, also,
that x.President johnson will be sent to
the Senate, 10 occupy BrownloW's seat.
He says the ex-President Is not fully In
accord with the Democrats, that he is q
patriotic, bold, and able man, and will be
very useful In the Senate.
We agree with the ex-senator that
Andy johnson would be q desirable per-
son in the United States Senate these
days Some such individual Is needed
there to hold the rod over the carpet
bsggers. The country Is weary Of that
element in Congress and no man is more
capable Of showing up Its rascalities than
Andy johnson. He understands both its
uses and abuses In the South, and has the
boldness and ability to grapple with 1t.
With all Of Andrews short comlngs his
record is untainted with corruption, and

1t appears as II Henry Ward Beecher's

charge Of having injured him, and will
give their support 10 the effort 10 crush

New York press accepts the rule that q
man Of Mr.. .Beecher's large glAs should
not be called TO account for pri.

peculiar position helps such tactics In q
party so powerful as Mr. Beecher has.
he has not specified the charge. One Of

Besides, the theory that Tllton sought Mr..
