Z. S. GREGORY, ESQ., has rcsiged his posi-
ton as editor OF the Petersburg appeal. In
asmuch as it is stated that be proposes to
"devote his life and talents" "to higher
and nobler SERVICE" we infer that he will
enter another profession. II he can succeed
in another as we'll as he has in the editorial
profession, he is man OF most versatile
talents. He has cultivated taste, much
ready-wit, great command Of language, and
good imagination. Whether he becomes
lawyer, or doctor, or preacher, he has
both natural talent and acquired qualitica-
tions for the duties of the position. We
bid him godspeed in his new vocation.
