fraternal love and reconciliation which has
been so heartily taken up by the people of the
North and the people of the South. This
intelligence of the Presidents determination
will, of course, be received with marked ap-
proval all over the country. Senator Ran
som, of North Carolina, who came here yester-
day, fresh from his people, says that in the
South the kindest feeling universally prevails.
He says, that the centennial celebrations will
play the most important part in permanent
ly removing all the animosities engendered
by the war. The President can also exert
powerful influence in bringing about this
result, and by the time the series of centennial
celebrations are at an end the North and the
South will be knit together in bonds closer
and more enduring than those which held
them hundred years ago."

Correspondence of the YOrkville Enquirer
LETTER FROM CHESTER.
CHESTER, June 81, ]

Chester was the scene of another spelling
bee on last Monday evening. The teacher,
upon this interesting occasion, was Mr.. j. j..
Hemphill, who gave every evidence of his
fitness for the distinguished position. The
class was large one, composed of about an
equal number of the gentler and sterner sexes.
Though gentleman carried off the prize, yet
Justice compels me to say that, as class, the
ladies exhibited greater proficiency in the art
of spelling. The difficulty of the words pro-
pounded by the teacher was felt by cousid-
erable number, who were forced to retire from
the stage of action extremely early in the
contest. Mr.. R. D. Galbraith failed to give
the correct spelling of "lorgnette," Mr.. r. H..
Jordan, of "supersede," Mr.. w. A. Wilson,
of "rhinoceros," Mr.. Allen Leard, of "reti-
nue." and Mr.. w. S. Gregg, of Kaleidoscope" !"
and left the spelling arena, with the delight
full satisfaction of having done all in their
power to place upon their noble brows the
laurel wreath of victory. "Picayune," "lin-
sey.woolsey," "cymling," and other words
we're missed by the young ladies, whose fail
ure to spell them was probably occasioned
by an excess of embarrassment on their part.
The name of the young man to whom the or
biography of "ticdouloureux" was not very
clear, merits mention, but will deal CON-
passonately and withhold it from the public.
Some reason must be assigned for his failure,
and what one so good as this, that he was
overcome by the host of sweet faces and
bright eyes that were fixed upon him? Miss
Emma p, who won the prize at the first SPELL
ing match, almost succeeded in winning it
again. Miss Susie H., Miss Susie j. and Miss
Belle j., also gave unmistakable evidence of
their spelling powers on Monday evening.
To Mr.. John Buchanan WAS awarded the
prize, handsome copy Of Longfellow's
poems, by Mr.. T. G.. CASTOR, in neat, appro-
pirate address, for his superior qualifications
as speller. Judging from the merry peals
of laughter that rang through hout the room,
the audience was highly pleased with the
second spelling bee of Chester.
Widening Of pavements adds immensely
to the appearance of streets The changes Of
this character, that Valley street and the por-
ton of York street opposite to Valley, have
undergone of late, are great and will tend
not only to the convenience of pedestrians,
but to the enhancement of the value of prop
erty. As an enlargement Of pavements in
other portions of town is sadly needed, the
Town Council would secure the favor of many
citizens by efecting the desirable improve
ments without delay.
The fire of patriotism did not burn suffi-
GENTLY strong in the hearts Of any of our peo-
pie to occasion visit to Bunker Hill, to join
with the immense multitude in the centennial
celebration at that historical place. Some,

US to let certain class of men alone, and as
we let that class of men alone, so they (the
Southern whites) let US alone, as they have
not troubled US much since Ex-Governor Scott
has been out of Office"
In conclusion the Judge says: IL desire to
say hope that the thrust that is made at the
"old time abolitionists" as to selling US out
will be considered by them as it is by US
that is, as coming from bad source; and l
hope that they will understand also that the
reason why there is such an attack made upon
them is because we have needed their admo-
nitions and refused to be bought and sold by
governors or eX-governors."
