bright and cheerful as of yore.-Rev.
DIR. II. II, Chapman, and his brave
hearted helpmate, are in Philadelphia,
where he is undergoing treatment for
spinal affection.
Among the pall-bearers of the late
Col. Coward were three of his old SOL
djers-Messrs. Park. Riggsbee, and
Straughan-all of whom speak in high
praise of his GOODNESS under fire. Mr.. 3.
I. Park apparently was there to see )"
as he received several wounds, including
a bayonet thrust, and a stroke with the
butt of a musket that knocked out sew
eral teeth. This signifies that he was
in a close place when these proceedings
were in progress.
p. H. Winston, Jr., cut quite a
prominent figure in the Republican con-
yention, and apparently leaning with
the keogh-Wheeler element rather than
the Notify oung-Humphrey clement
managed to carry several points. He
was chosen, with Keogh, to so to Chi
cage convention, and his brother was
nominated for Supt. of Public Instruc-
ton. He estimates that Yorke will
come down the slopes of the Blue Ridge
with 5000 majority, and will double
these figures east of Greensboro.

Jacob s. Allen. Esq, has removed
his family to Darlington, S. c., where
he has contracts which will occupy him
all the year and longer. Mrs. V. {.
Aver who has been visiting rel ".es
there, speaks in lively terms of the
wealth and prosperity of that region.
She saw nothing of the reported ''des-
ttution," much less Starvation 1t
was probably telegraphed North as
foundation for begging appeals. Mrs.
Aver says that the Cash's have more
friends among the South Carolinians
than is generally supposed.
1t is due Prof. j. c.. Hines, of
Franklinton, to state that he is no lon
ger editor of the Weekly in that town,
and thereby acquit him of the slobbery
editorial praising white women for
teaching ''nigger' schools. We make
this note lest Prof. Hines. who accepted
the school in Arson county, advertised
in Farmer and Mechanic by Mai. John
Robinson) should be damaged by being
supposed capable of advocating such
sentiments. We feel assured that the
decent people, both white and colored,
in any part of the South,-will have lit
tie excuse for the Southern woman who
a find no other means Of making
Woney than by teaching negro schools.
