CAROLINA COLLEGE, at Mount Pleasan
in Columbus county, this State, an6
have noted with pleasure the evidence
it contains of increased prosperity
John b. DaYis. ID. D., is President OF
| the Faculty ADD our old friend Major
/ Lawson q. Heilig is President of the
Board of Trustees. We wish it and
all other Institutions of learning in our
State the most abundant success.
The Oxford IOrchhght enters this
week upon the fourth year of it's ex-
istence, and we are glad to see with
tangible evidence Of increased pros
perity. The Zorchlight is the last
survivor of all the newspapers that
have been commenced at'Oxford during
its existence with the exception of the
O/29hatls' Friend. We sincerely trust
its patronage will continue to increase
both at home and abroad. If its sup
port shall at all equal its merits the
future of the Zorchfight will not be
doubtful. MIR. Kingsbury's connection
with it, is alone the amplest guarantee
for paper thatis good, live, readable,
and that ell men may take into their
families with pleasure, profit and con-
fdeDce.
For the journal.

MESSRS. EDITORS: Among the distin-
gulShed Democratic lawyers mentioned |
for the responsible position of Attor |
ley General of the State permit me to |
name the gifted and eloquent Platt ID. |
Walker, Esq, of. Richmond county. |
While it should be tho pride of every
rue North Carolinian that we have SO |
many true democratic SONS Of the old |
North State ably qualified in all re-
'pects for the statloL-Such men for
example as Mr.. COnigiand of Halifax,
Col. Kenan Of Wilson, and others of |
our cherished brethren and gallant I
sons, there Is no name yet offered that
combines more of the necessary quail
lcntons both for canvassing during
he campaign and for filling ably and
the office itself than does
his able lawyer and eloquent and eff
ectIve stump speaker whose uame
will go before the Convention for the
at Raleigh on the Nth of
Iune as Attorney General. AS law.
Ter he has already won a position in
he front ranks of his profession for
earning, ability, skill and eloqu"nce,
ND whether pleading in the Superior
Court of the counties embraced in the
'ange of his extensive practice, or upon
he higher theatre of the Supreme
Jourt at Raleigh, it is the proud sat
efaction of his host of friends, 'good
md true" to know that he is able to
,upe, and is ever ready to cope, Sue
,essfuily with the ablest lawyers of
he State who may be arrayed against
i'm in any of the courts of North
JarOliua. In other words this
alented and accomplished gentleman
Who has aheart big enough to embrace,
IS it does embrace i'll its warm sympa-
HES and ardent devotion every inter
st, every class and every section OF
he State, is proud and loving exem-
,lfication of the too much neglected
ruth that an old head may exist upon
Dung shoulders. The late war proved
IuU tIltt VI "otiNi |
hat the young men are rs able to
'e prudent, wise, skillful, learned and
ffective in all respects as those of ex. (
ended years and hoary locks. In the
ase of Plptt d. Walker, one of the
Dung lawyers of the State, we have a
veriication of this I
ruth. With exemplary habits, high ,
erAonaI character, great popularity
18th the masses as well as high appre S
ntlon by his own profession, he com |
ines that earnestness and energy that 1
Outhful vigor and enthusiasm, and {
ithnl, that personal magnetism which t
laIzcs him irresistible, whether in our
legislative halls, in our courts of jns |
ce or before tue people as an orator t
leading for the rights of the people |
M the best interests OF North Caro- /
ma. Let rs bring our young men to I
ia front in the moment0us campaign '
bout to commence in North Carolina. c
Ic need more than ever those, whether v
Dung or old, who are pnre, who are S
Die, who are not sectional, but OF C
road and liberal views, who are in no I
ay objectionable by previous acts, t
ut are the most available, both per- s
,nnlly and POLITICALLY. Snch a man S
ld such Il Democrat and North Caro- 5
man is the hero orator, able lawyer,
nj true friend of the peOple-Platt
