On reaching tho chancel the Attendants filed
to the right and left and ranged behind the rail-
ing. while the intended Bride and Groom met
and faced the Minister in front Of the railing and
Altar.
The impressive marriage service Of the Epis-
copal Church WAS then solcmny administered
by Rev. J. ID. Mccullough. Dr. Rawls gave away
the bride: the ring was placed upon her finger,
the sacred benediction was pronounced, and
the nuptials completcl-South Carolina and
North Carolina had added another link to the
chain Of interests that must bind them together.
1t would give US pleasure to be able To des-
cribc the handsome dresses of The bridesmaids,
and general makeup of Ladies dresses that We
cannot attempt it. We are far more compe.
tent judge Of Ladies faces and we can say that
in this case we thought all of them were very
fascinating and appeared as if they wished they
were brides in stead of brides attendants.
The bride was dressed with uncommon taste
in handsome white satin and enyeloped in a rich
lace veil. She 10, ked lovely in her happiness,
AMI wc can honestly say that every heart in that
large assembly of witnesses was filled with the
earnest hope that she, whose genial spirit and
pure example had always contributed So greatly
to the sodal enjoyment of all ages of our com
munity, pay find in the new sphere she had
entered glove and respect as fcrvent and stead
fast as isthc affection for her in this communi-
ty.
The Gloom passed through the 'trying or
deal with hianly fortitude and looked SO per
fcc:ly happy hat
"Whilc the hear, would break with more,
1t could no. live with less"
But the ha,piest being among them all, was
our friend, TIC Dr., who. approaching the i'm
portance of be event, dcporcd himself with
his accustomed modest dignity but with evident
anxiety for he future welfare Of q loved and
loving daughter.
Taken all bgcther it was the most admirably
arranged an, grandcst affair Of the kind ever
witnessed inthis community.
We have 10 objection to the worthy boys of
North Carolina marrying the girls of South Car
olina but in this case the knot was no sooner
tied than he iad TO Carter off to the bleak noun
tains, of his ,ativc home, which we think was
piece af- col effrontery, and must not be dill
again, with ippunity.

pes" We assure our friend Hoyt, of tho Reg
ister, that NE had no intention of blaming the
State officials for not bestowing their advertising
favors upon the country press. We were aware
of the restrictions placed upon them by law and
the fact that no appropriations were made to
pay for such service. What we were after was
to set ourselves right before number Of our
own readers who had complained of as, for not
publishing the Adjutant and Inspector Generals
call for the arms belonging to the State, now in
the hands Of persons not autharized to hold theml
the Comptroller's notice to those holding bonds
and other Indebtedness against the State, and
some other matters in which the people all over
the State feel an interest. The old system was
that certain-somct,mes al--papers in the state
were requested to "copy one time ALI we
ask of the state officials s TO stick close to the
laws that govern their Offices and if the law
does not allow them to extend any favors to us,
We shall not complain, but defend them in their
action. We dislike being considered "sore
head" We intend to sustain the Ham pton gov
ernment through evil au'l through good report"
without asking or expecting any favor or reward
from it, If we should dissent from the action
of any oranch of the government we shall say
so plainly, at the proper time, but we do not in
tend to be instrumental in airayng any part of
the democratic party agaianst it, or of playing
into the hands Of the anxously waiting remnant
Of the republican party by creating divisions
and disscnsions in our own ranks.
Nor have we amy jealous feelings toward our
respected city dailies, because they are so loca-
ted to be the lawful recipients of such Off
cial favors. They deserve all they receive and
we are really pleased to think they are prosper
ing under the government they worked so hard
to establish. If you've put us on the ''sore
head list. Col. IIoyt just be kind enough to
take us off, at once. We don't belong there.

Destruction OF CONFEDERATE ARCHIvEs.-At
tho recent fire at Union, twenty-seven boxes Of
Confederate archives were destroyed. The pa
pcrs were brought to Union by the train which
followed close upon the retreat of President
Davis, who, finding the enemy pressing hard
upon his rear, ordered them to be left with Col
Young, of that place. Col Young had faith
fully preserved them, and was upon the point Of
sending them to the Southern Historical Society
at Richmond, when the fire cams. end destroyed
them. The valuable historiSaf Mcfs which these
papers would have divulged are thus lost to the
world.-Cok Register.
Tha: is news to US, and, we find it is news to
a large ajority of our citizens also. The only
building belonging to Col. J. L. Young, de-
stroyed by the late fire, was very common old
clubhouse, in rear of Col. Ioungs brick store,
and no one supposed that it contained SO much
and such valuable property as twenty-scven
boxes of Confederate Archives. To US the
srangcst matter is that those archives should
have been kept here so long, when the Southern
Historical Society, through the columns Of the
TINES. has, for three years, been calling upon
parties having such valuable information to
