Confederate General, to Visit Presi.
dent Grant.
RICHMOND. Jan. a. 1874
AS indicated in my dispatches several days ago.
Governor Kemper, the newly installed Executive
OF the STATE and OF the most famous Of the ex-
Confederate generals, has received from President
Grant, through q mutual friend, cordia, invita-
ton to visit him at the White House. Indeed,
President Grant, having read Governor Kemper's.
inaugural message ana been told OF some of Kem-
pers campaign speeches on national topics, Is very
DESTROYS oil making his acquaintance.
Governor Kemper Is advised by the most eminent
men IN the conservative party that he ought to
avail himself OF the Presidents kind invitation,
and as this agrees with his own judgment IL Is
understood that as soon as the pressure OF public
business will admit he will go to the national cap
ital and present himself at rne Presidential man.
SION. l.G =
The virRinians regard this friendly overture to
their Governor with much satisfaction; especially
as Kemper IL regarded as O representative OF the
fighting men OF the Confederacy, who laid down
their arms in good faith and who while abatin9
not one jot OF belief in the justice OF the slost
cause" yet confess that Is lost heartily and
honestly yield obedience and devotion to the ma

they were published every day in the State paper the
Albany Euentng Journal but this paper reached but
resolutions were not properly Published and the
people Of the State have not had an opportunity
OF examining the proposed amendments. He had
grave Tears that the constitution had not been

Mr.. EDIroR:-There are some things
that are worthy to be remembered; events
in life that we do not soon forget. We
have recently had the pleasure Of en-
joying such q time. On the 9th day of
June, the Sunday School within few
miles Of Union Grove met at that place
to hold Sunday School Picnic. Now,
Mr.. Editor, if there is one thing more
worthy Of our attention than another, it is
the welfare of our children, and the right
training of the mind the most important.
When we see children earnest and eager to
learn that which will fit them for eternity,
it is enough to make parents heart beat
for Joy. Such = congregation of happy
faces is seldom seen in any crowd
children overlooking with merriment and
enjoyment, and parents happy tosee their
children 20 happy. After speeches from
Rev. Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Ingham, we had
an hours recess to satisfy the inner man,
visit and have . good time generally.
After recess we listened to responses by
Messrs. Fulcomer, Stewart, Harms, Forb-
es, Elliot, Dobson, and Hall, whose re-
marks were full Of instruction and ad-
vice. We had martial music and sing
ing to enliven the day. The singing
was entered into with spirit by al, and
seemed to be enjoyed by all the children.
Why cannot We have more Of such gath
erings! Wake up! Parents and Sunday
School Teachers; 30 spend : day with
the children and have : good time.
