WE last week charged the AdU0-
cate with speaking of soldiers as,
"Truculent politicians, anxious only
for power, who supported the war, If
the truth were known, for power and
not for patriotism.
In SO saying we did not misrepre-
sent the advocates meaning. If no
readers saw these words it is because
that paper has no readers. It's editor
must not not be ashamed of his words
He must stick to them with his heart

THE Advocate attempts to shield
Shammy Tilden from the charge that
he is a perjurer by quoting from the
New York Herald, which says: "A
lawyer may earn his fees in one year
but collect them in subsequent year.
He "may," true enough. But the
question is did he2 By carefully read
ing the article in this paper under
the head of "The Great Sham," it
will be seen that Shammy swore that
his income for the whole of 1862 was
$7,ll8, and that lately, to shield him
self from the charge of embezzlement
of $4,000, he swore in court that
he received $4,000 October 18th
that gear, 1862, and $4,000 Novom-
Der 7, also that year. There will
have to be some other answer to the
charge. The Aduocate is defending
Tilden as it did Taylor last Fall and
after election will have to confess,
as it did in the case of Taylor, that its
choice candidate is a fraud. But
come again for Shammy.

Stop Your Cough /!

The wonderful results and immense sale of
Hale's Cough Cordial the past season, ought to
convince the most skeptical; still we are go
ing to continue the same liberal offer that we
have heretofore, viz; ANY person suffering
with a cold, cough or sore throat, who will
call at w. d. Baxters Drug Store and pur-
chase bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use
one-half of it, and if they then conclude
that it is doing them no good, they can re-
turn the balance and receive back their
money. Who would not test this medicine
on such liberal terms No medicine ever sold
in this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All We ask is that you will try
it. 40m6

Hon. Kemp Battle.

At the recent meeting of the irus-
tees of the University, the Hon. Kemp
P. Battle was elected president of that
respect happy one. a native Carols
nian, a graduate of the University, an
accomplished scholar, a generous, ge-
NAL, whole-souled gentleman, Mr.. Bat
tie is eininentiy qualified to fiji the
position to which he has been elected
he will devote to the interests of the
University that shrewd practical busi-
ness sense which has made him sue
cessful as financier in private Life.
He has labored assiduously to re-estab.
lish the University, ard has thorough
ly aroused himself to see it placed
npon a basis of genuine prosperity
and true scholarship. He is scholar
who has common st nse, who pays his
debts and accumulates property, who
has practical executive ability rs well
as theoretical ideas.
He is thoroughly North Carolinian
and believes III developing the resour-
ces of his State. The patriotism of the
Battle family was well illustrated az
the late commencement. There were
present grandfather. father and son,
Of whom the two former were gradu-
ates and the latter student at the
University. Let every family in North
Carolina follow this example. We look
for the very best results under Mr..
Battles presidency. No worthier man
conld have been selected.

4 snlable and Yielding.

AColumbus (Ohio) correspondent oi
the New York Sun describes Hayes as
follows:
As for Hayes, he is both yielding
and plastic; can't saynay; even pardons
almost daily the most desperate of con-
victs and dangerous of men out of the
Ohio penitentiary, simply because he
cannot help yielding to the pathetic
opportunities of some weeping wife,
daughter, sister or friend. The stuff
out of which Hayes is made bends cas-
lily. He is minus backbone-has no
self will; is ambitious to please all and
offend none. 1t pains him to send any
away empty. HIS social makeup is
that of q woman. He has far more
heart than head. His affections lead
his intellect. He has every quality to
make him a good friend; indeed, to
know him is to love him. But he rs
just the man to be easilyimpoaed upon
In disposition he is as fearful and
timid as a child. The least praise
makes HIM blush like a girl, and the
least censure TO tremble like a culprit.
He wept when apprised of bis nOmie
nation, and amid his tears inquired
again and again if it could be true-if
there was not some naistdEe!

Business and Speculation.

People IN this country who III better
times have lost money by investments
III bubble stock companies are tempted
no longer. The dIsa ppeai ancs of these
fictitious enterprises from tue scenes
of their former triumphs Is complies.
For an American newspaper or ciron>
lar that comes to our hands elyes
token that such thing is In existence.
Speculation Of that kind is as dead
here now as If IAN act for the forms-
ton Of chemical, mining and manufsc-
turing companies, &C." under which
most of il was conducted, had never
Fsassed the New York Legislature, fol-
lowed by similar enactments in other

the collapse of the last "f that family
In the [ uIted Stats. But the dail
Tins which bow eIvelOp England as
with cloud, and the immence losses
sustained by john Bull through this
particular variety of venture, have
caused a sharp decline in the once
favorIte method of extracting money
from credulous pOcka;s. Lmitet lis-
bilty Companies coniInur tO be organ

humble, unambitiuus affairs. They
relate mostly to small busine SIS under
taklngs, such as JOINT stock groceries

grand display of names as directors
and do not advertise magni6cently in
the Times and the News. Large ruin.

people on both sides of the Atlantic
are coming to their senses that

experience the folly of trusting to
prospectus promises and to yielding
to the magic influence of grese names.
And SO it is; but Is is none the less the

extreme dullness Of the times in the
