Ga 2lst July, 1856, a quarter OF a cen
fury will have passed away, since the
North and the South first met in
'sbattie array'' upon the plains of
Manassas, Virginia.
The only regiment from Alabama
engaged in this first pitched battle, was
the "fuurth." As We have long since
had a reunion Of states--ol hands and
of hearts with our brethren North
a few veterans OF the Fourth Alabama
regiment recently met in Selma,
organized, and appointed July i, 1856,
and Selma rs the place, for Il rn union
of the survivors OF the Fourth Ala
bama regiment.
Ouachita, and other Parishes contain
sousc of these survivors, who are re-
questea to Hreport' by mail to Randri
d. Berry, Esq, Recording Secretary,
OF their enlistment and also place and
date of their discharge from said rcgi
ment their present place Of residence,
with their success i'll the last 20 years,

Joseph f.. johnson, commanding was
in the forced march from Winchester
to Manassas and was early in the
engagement on July q, 1861. The
Colonel commanding had orders TO

ton at all hazards till reinforced"
Obedience to orders is shown by the
official report to the Secretary of War

THREE women have announced
themselves as candidates for Par
lament at the coming English
elections. They are certainly not
inspired to this course by the ex-
ample OF cur own female candi-
dates last November. In view of
the fact that the head OF the Brit
ish government is woman, and
has been for nearly fifty years, it is
strange that the famale suffrage
movement has not heretofore found
IFS strength among the strong
minded women in England instead
of those of America.

LIVING TOO LONG.

Ii 1hO 1OO AOAO'
There are some things in thi.
lite which to the vigorous in minc
and body, seem worse than death,
aye, a living death. When one
reads that Charles Francis Adams,
who quarter of a century ago
was brilliant man, one much to
be envied because Of his lineage,
has prominence in public affairs, his
great wealth, the happy family
/ gathered about him, and of his
family pride-that he, So healthy
in mind and body, so happily sur
rounded, is now, at the age Of sew
enty seven, but wreck. and a
much ruined wreck of his former
self his bodily vigor gone, his
mental strength shattered and bro
ken, sympathy is aroused and pain
quickened.
Better to 60 off in the noon-day
Of life, in he full light, than to
wait until the cleaning and tie
darkening shadows envelope
Better to die in the hour when men
will say "his possibilities were
grcQt, than to wait until men
are forced to compare his latter
condition with his former, and 10
mourntully say, (" how are the
mighty fallen" Better to die ike
the "little giant Douglas, while
his co-patriots desired him to live,
than to linger upon the stage like
Buchanan, score OF years too
long for his OWL or his country's

Thro' which living Homer begged for

THE NOVEMBER ELECTION AMENDMENT.
Fellow citizens OF Butler county, one

option by the people q Constitutional

importance OF the amendment In seen
and recognized by all. Ohio was tho
corruption ground OF the last Presl-
