The brilliant campaign OF this able
and accomplished Senator OF Duplin
and Wayne, i,as attracted tho attmira-
tion of tho Democratic
party OF the State. Pure rs a man, of
great power upon the stump, and be-
loved by the people, his long, arduous
and effective services for the party of
which he is n bright ornament, have
aided in making his triumphant olec
ton of peculiar qualification to his
hosts OF friends. They deem him emil
neftly worthy of an election as presid-
ing officer of the Senate Of the State
he loves so we'll and has served so long
and faithfully in the Legislature and
out of it. Last session Of the Legis-
latIlre his namc was prominent for
Speaker of tho House, bUt in his IN
selfish patriotism, he gracefully yield
Ell his own claims and those of the
East to Capt. Robinson of the West,
and now let his sacrifices and qualifi-
cations and merits moet with becom-
ing appreciation and reward from the
Conservative Democracy of tho whole
State by an election to tho Presidency
of the Senate. No one would be more
acceptable, or fill the place with moro
honor and grace. The West will
doubtless again claim tho Speaker of
tho House. Give the East in return
tho President of the Senate. None
desorves it more than the noble old
Roman of the party whose name heads
this article. In all this no disparage-
ment is intended Of others, especially
of l.. II. Waddell, Esq, of Johnston.
1t is we'll that We shall have in the
Senate such Democratic galaxy from
which to select this impartial officer.

Theo. Ramsay went along with tho

into q yellow jacket nest as they rode
along the mountains ore day. Itseems
they had just struck the Teanessce
river and their only chance was to ford
it. Ramsay, although Temperance
man, became very nervous over ford
ing the river. He said his head was
sure to swim and he feared falling
off his horse. But Gen. Vauca told
him he could fix that, and he got = long
stick and told Ramsay to hold one end
in his mouth and throw his head back,
looking straight before him, and
keep tho stick pointed like an arrow
towards the opposite shore. So ip they
all rode and Ramsay crossed the river
with the stick in his mouth and his
head thrown back like he was having
a tooth pulled. They struck . noun
tain trail on that side of the river, just
n narrow little footpath with yawn-
ing precipice on ono side md the
mountain on the other, ana they had
to ride Indian file, and it was tough

On the arrival of the Albany train,
Tuesday morning. q Lady acoompanied
by a colored man, dismounteds and
crossed the arcade to the omnibus of
one Of the first-class hotels. The lady

can't go in there; servants ride with
the driver" ''But the lady is my
wife!" 81 can't help that; run this
