PERSONAL

Judge E. North Cullom. a member
of the New. Orleans Bar, and a learned
iurist and distinguished advocate, for
merly Judge of this District, has been
in Town for several days. He has been
retained as counsel in some important
legal business pending in the District
Court, now in session.
Colonel j. c. Wise, the old war
horse of the Democracy, has been in
Town for week past. The near ap-
proach of that momentous political
conflict, in which are involved the
rights, and, perhaps, the liberties of
every American citizen, has brought
him from his retirement. The inter-
est which he feels is not that of one
who is moved by selfish motives, or the
hope of reward, but that which springs
from genuine patriotism, and the livo-
lest appreciation of the duties and re-
sponsibilities which belong equally to
every voter in the land. Though con
fident of the election of Hancock and
English, he will be found at the front
so long as there remains work to be
done, which will be until the polls
have been closed, and the last vote
cnunted, on the second of November.
Let every true Democrat follow his
example. 49,
Captain James Jeffries, who has
made an extended and protracted tour,
through the North and East, returned
home last weok. He ia here to exer-
else that sovereign prerogative of the
citizen, the Importance of which, gen-
orally, is but lightly valued.
Mr.. Fred. A. Bonito, the popular
and courteous representative OF
the old, staunch and reliable house OF
John l. Adams & Co., of New Orleans,
reached Alexandria, on Sunday. He
ia on bis business rounds, and will, ere
his return, call on all his friends.
MIR. F Guoringer, representing
that popular and widely known firm
of New Orleans, Messrs. Theo. Danzi-
gers Sons, is here to give attention to
the wants of our people, and in Dry
Go"is, Notions, Underwear and suits,
he is fully prepared to give extraordi-
nary bargains. Reserve your orders
for him.

Mr.. G. w. Bolton, of Pineville,
offers extraordinary inducements to
every class of buyers in this section OF
the State. Among the special and
noteworthy Inducements which should
be taken into consideration by those
who have interests involved, and who
would avail themselves of the most ia
vorable opportunities, we may men
ton that Mr.. Bolton enjoys the highest
character for integrity in all business
transactions, while his stock of goods
selected with extraordinary care, was
bought for cash, and is the fullest and
most complete ever offered by him.
For cotton he pays the highest easl,

pie of the old Fourth District on the
certainty of securing the services, in

THE political campaign is now

as fixed fact, however, that he has
already expended moro money in his

astuteness that he knows just where to
place his money to have it lido the

donbt this assertion he would refer

not yet exhausted, and his able aud
