To judge from all VIC hear from

WADE HAMPTON.

The following eulogium of Wade Hampton,
from the Raleigh, N. c. Observer, is as grace
full in conception as it is truthful in state.
ment, and is but a specimen of the laudation
which his noble bearing has won for him from
the press and people of the entire Union:
No man in this country-certainly no man
in the South--is attracting to himself more
attention or more commendation than is Gen
eral Wade Hampton, of South Carolina. Of
him the strongest language may be used, and
yet not beget the slightest suspicion of exag-
geration. Soldier, statesman and patriot, be
has proved himself to be man Of when not
only bis State but the country and the age in
which he lives, may we'll be proud; for bis is
one Of the grandest, most perfectly rounded
characters that America has yet produced.
Whether in prosperity, with money and
land and slaves at bis command, or in adver.
sity, dependent upon his daily labor for his
daily bread; in peace, surrounded by all that
wealth could command or refinement and in
telligence desire, or in war, sharing every
hardship with the humblest soldier; as free
citizen of a free State, or as the leader of a
forforn hope in behalf of his people against
despotic government; he stands out pre-emi-
nently as a man to be loved and admired.
No wonder that his people are ready to fol.
low him to the death. No wonder that they
rally to his standard, and without regard to
race or color, or whether native or Northern
born rend the air with their cries for Hamp-
ton and reform; for, to them, Hampton is the
personi6cation of all that is great and good,
in arts or arms or in government. His word
to them is as law, written iu eternal charac-
ters upon their hearts. With but word
from him, and armed men would everywhere
spring up; for his people have been outraged
and oppressed and incensed until flesh and
blood could scarce bear it longer; and yet
With word from him the surging crowd that
neither bullets or bayonets could make quail,
quietly dispersed, every man returning peace
ably to his own home. Grsnder.is .is be even,
in the restraint he imposed upon himself in
that hour of tumult and wrong and outrage,
to utter words of peace and to teach lessons
of moderation, than when, sabre in hand, ,1at
the: head of, his invincible legions, he rode in
resistless charge upon his enemies! Glorious
man that he is, who is there, that's not proud
to be his fellow.manl, But such q man be-
longs not TO his State alone, nor even to his
section, but to the whole country and the
day will come when he will take rank in
history next to his great commander

what Jas. Emm11t says.


Somebody has been having talk with
Hon Jas Emmitt, President of the S. J.
& P. Ry., OH railroad matters, and COM
municates the following to one of the
Dayton papers:
James Emmitt, of the Springfield, Jack
son & POmeroy Railroad, says that the
towns along the line of the Springfield &
Waverly road became jealous of him and
of each other, and the result is that, in
stead of harmony, each town is trying to
build its own road with its own subscrip-
tions, which makes a disjointed affair
When asked why it was that they made
such haste in their contract, lie said: ''We
believed that our road to the coal fields
was all that the trade required, and
! thought that if we should hasten our road
under contract the Dayton element of the
Dayton & Southeastern would join us at
/ Washington G. H.s and run from thence
! to jackson, and there is where we missed

bers.
EDITORS HERALD:
Below we copy a clause from the State
militia law in regard to contributing
members of military organizations, which
demonstrates how easily a citizen can,
with great beneficial results to himself
and at little expense, aid military cOmpa-
MES. The law reads as follows:
.sAnd in addition to its full compliment
of officers and men on the active roll, each
company of infantry and cavalry may
receive and enroll not more than one
hundred and fifty contributing MEM
bers'' And the law further provides:
ssEyerv active cr contributing member
of such companies or batteries shall,
while a member of such organization, be
exempt from labor on the public higbasdys Of
the State, and from scTrice as jurors.
A contributing member is one who does
not belong to the company, but who, by
paying annually into the company fund
a stipulated amount, receives all the BEN
efits that an active member does, yet he is
not required to drill or do duty of any kind
The military organization at this place
charge contributing members the small
sum of five dollars year, presenting each
member with printed certificate proper
II signed by the officers of the company
showing that the holders of such are thus
released from work on the roads and ser
vice as jurors. Their exemption from
road work would be three dollars saved
virtually paying the company but two
dollars-while the amount saved by being
relased from jury duty, especially to
many of our farmers, who are most likely
to be summoned TO serve as jurymen dur
ing the busiest part of the season, when
their attention is most needed in planting
and securing their crops, can not be com
puted. Amy man within the borders OF
| the county can become contributing
member; and as the number is limited
delay may be too late. In behalf of the
company we advise all who wish the
.Eboys" success to call on the officers and
get a certificate for one year.

it is the purpose to locate the road through

this place, having associated themselves
for missionary work throughout the coun-
ty and neighboring towns, on Sundaylast
made brief visit to the village of Mt.
Sterling, in the adjoining county of Mad
ison. Although inexperienced in such
work, they took hold of it with all that
firmness and determination TO win which
is characteristic of you g men. Having
for their leader an established Christian,
and one of no little gYperience, the work
/ was grandly carried forward.
The good Christians of the place assist
cd with willing hand, and the day was
wholly devoted to Christian work.
Although, as before stated, the stay was
but brief, nevertheless, the friends left
with an assurance doubly sure'' that
they had sown good seed, and that with
good cultivation and kind attention il
would yield an abundant harvest.
The good people of the town welcomed
the friends in such Christian-like man

they return at no distant day and carry
out more fully this well begun work.
