Ashyil!e (Ala.) -Egis Press.

We promised the editor of the Ashville
(A!a) Esis. while in his state, that We could
give historical sketch Of his press in our next
etrer TO the BEACON, but we were hurried of
home before We wrote that letter. However,
we will try to comply with that promise,
although We failed 10 obtain Sufficient data to
make the history complete.
The press is an Odd fashioned Frank lin
hand press, of ponderous weight and mann
featured of excellent material. Our knowl-
edge o! it begins with lis use in printing
ding of that place, with J. +. Grant, the
present senior editor of the Republican and
Oldest editor id Alabama as publisher. We
are not certain as 10 how long the publication
of the religious paper was continued, but mol
many months we think, before il was Giscon-
linued, and the material purchased by J.
Grant, who started the Jacksonville Republi-
can, now about 40 years old. This press
remained in use in the Republican office until
April. 1860, when it was purchased by us,
taken to AshviIle and used in printing the ST.
Clair Diamond till about the last of July
1861, when the paper was suspended, the
Office locked up aud every atiache of the
establishment entered the Confederate service
In the fall of 1868 the press was again put
in operation and used in printing the AshvilIe
Vidette, and in 1864 fell into the hands Of
Gen Rousseau, of the U. S. Army,-wh used
il in printing orders and blanks and in issuing
one number Of the paper, with editorials by
member of his staff His printers left the
press and type uninjured.
Raids became so frequent, thar, in the early
part Of 1865, the o'hce was removed for safety
TO Oxford, Calhoun county, by W. P. Mang-
ham, who there continued the publication
of the Videue until about ia. time Johnson
surrendered. Jus, before the surrender a
division of U. S. cavalry made descent on
Oxford and burned a few houses, and in doing
so burned one of our type cases, which was
in the telegraph Office for convenience of set.
ting kilograms.
In July, 1858, we sold the material to R.
Z. Neeld, who removed it TO Selma and
started a republican in politics we
think-but we do not remember its title o
how long it continued. We next heard O,
the press in Demopolis, in 1866 or 1867, and
next in Montevalo, where it was used in
printing the Star. I'VE cannot give dates.
From Montevalo it was taken back %
Ashville, TO the very house we used it in, and
used on the Eagle, we think From thence
il was taken TO Alfalfa, and from there TO
Gadsden, where it was subsequently pur
chased by its present owner, brought back
again 10 Ashville and put TO its original and
legitimate use Of printing democratic
paper, which is ably and fearlessly conducted
and is doing noble service in The cause of
honesty and reform.

Of course, all the aspirants for office in this
parish could not receive nominations, aud
some of our people doubtless feel somewhat
disappointed al the defeat Of their friends; bu,
the nominees are good and true democrats, and
the same, will s'pport the ticket chez fully.
In few days all this feeling of disappoinr-
ment will have pl.>ed away and tie people
will be found working for the success CT the
ticket, for we cannot afford 10 suffer our per.
sonal preferences 10 absie cur zeal for the
arty.
