O'Ferrau and Paul IN Highland.

We had very interesting and crafty
ing account of the discussion between
Col. O'Ferrall and Capt. Paul, at Monte
reg. Tuesday. 1t was q regular field day
for the Democracy, and if Paul was sec on
in Staunton, Monday, he was mashed at
Monterey, Tuesday.
The crowd was for O'Ferrall two to one,
and Paul seemed badly at a disadvantage
from the very first, when he met Mr.. John
W. Stephenson, of Bath. who was arrang-
ing the discussion, and Capt. Paul asked
him "if he had gone back on him." No !;
said Stephenson, ''you have gone back on
me and all my Democratic friends in try
ing to take US into the Republican party.
The sight of such old friends of his, as
Adam Stephenson, VIM. Hevner and 9th
ers setting in front of him applauding
O'Ferrall and turning him the cold shout
der was depressing, and must have hurt.
In bis reply to O'Ferrall, he undertook
to explain his treachery to his party, and
denied that he had committed himself to
act with the Democrats. He asked: "Did I
run for congress as Democrat +? and get
your support as one? Mr.. Stephenson from
the audience said, Eyes, voted for you
as Democrat" $50 did L." $50 did IL
from many voices.
The Captain sadly missed his Rocking
ham corps, and had nobody to carry him
out, but left the Court House sadder and
wiser If not better man.

A BEAR CHAsR.-The people in the

The finding was not very difficult mat.

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.-Miss Claire
Scott played Lucretia Borgia last night to
a delighted audience. Miss Scott is a la
dy of fine personal appearance with a rich
voice of powerful scope. Though we did
not have the opportunity to hear her. an
enthusiastic admirer says, that through
cut all the play she exhibited power for
the highest style of emotional acting, but
at times surpassed herself and enthused
her audience by the granduer of her elo-
quence, and in her pleas for the life of the
handsome GennarO.
Miss Scott will play again tonight and
tomorrow night, and will doubtless have
fine houses.

If the Coalition works everywhere that
O'Ferrall and Paul meet as it has done In
Augusta since Monday, the Colonel will
| find but little difficulty in showing the re-
doubtable Paul under in the early Noven-
bsr days: Every day since the discussion
new changes from the Coalition ranks
have been reported.
Before the speaking commenced Mon
day, an elderly gentleman and his son from
the county were arguing in lawyers Of
fee near the court house in support of the
Democracy of Capt. John Paul, the law
yer insisting that he had turned Republic
can. While they talked, the speaking
commenced and the legal gentleman told
his friend to go in the court house. and
when Paul got up ask him VhaJ he was?
In an hour or two the Readjuster came
back very angry.
Ibid you ask him?" said our friend
Eyes" "What did he say?'' HE eYaded
an answer" 'Maybe he didn't know
you" ''Yes he did. he looked right in
my eye when 1 asked him, and he has
staid often enough in my house to know
me. But saw and heard enough to con-
vince me that John Paul is no longer a
Democrat and he has got the last vote from
me-"
Another countyman Of means told a
friend of O'Ferrall that he had intended
handing Paul check for 800 when he
came here, to help him in the canvass, but
after he heard him speak Monday and saw
the rOwdy and unfair means his friends
used to influence public sentiment, he
not only would not help him, nor vote for
him, but would vote for O'Ferrall.
Still another old citizen from the county
who happened to be IN the city Monday,
told friend that he had not voted since
the war, but after hearing the speaking
he had decided not only to vote this fall
but to vote for O'E'errall. ''Straws show
which way the current flows" and the
cheerful faces of the Democracy about
town along side Of the long counteuances
OF the Paul men show too plainly how
things are drifting.
