Lincoln and Davis.

Miss Gibbs, u teacher in a south
ern college, wrote to Jefferson DAVIS
asking him to write a sentiment
which might se;'Te as a motto for
Southern women The reply she
received, says She ST. Louis Repub-
lie, might serve for the guidance of
mankind
For my fellow country women:
Be We slow to anger, swift to forgive
and hold fast the chastity that raises
the lowly, with the self respect that
stoops not to the naughty. Jeffer-
son Davis
This suggests a celebrated pas
sage in Abraham Lincoln's inaugural
address of 1864:
With malice toward none. with
charity for all, with frmness i'll the
right as God gives us to see the
right, let us finish the work we are
in, to bind up the nations wounds,
to care for him who shall have
borne the battle, and for his widow
and his orphans, to do all which
may achieve a just and lasting
peace among ourselves and with all
nations"
Thus at the end, the two chefs of
the opposing parties in the might
lest and bloodiest of civil wars ex-
press a similar philosophy and a
kindred spirit.

mob of several hundred masked men
raided the Jail at Barnwell, c. H.,

numbering young man named Hef-

about it. A great many negroes are
collected at the scene of the lynch
ing and more trouble is anticipated.

SENsELEss FIRE ALARMS During the
prevalence of the fierce northwesterly gale
between six and seven o'clock last evening
the entire city was conv ulsed by senseess
fire alarm, which set all the bells in town
of and caused the steam fire engines, belch.
ing out flame, smoke and cinders, to run to
aud fro without any objective pointin view.
After some time spent in fruitless endesvors
to ascertain the location of what was sup.
posed to be fire. the engines and truck
were returned to their respective houses
only to be again run out upon the fremen
having been told that the cause of the alarm
was cor hagraticn then raging at the
southern end of st. Assph street. Now the
cause of all this panic and CONSERVATION was
the burning of a chimney OF the house ad
joining the tan yard, which was very
slight affair, at no time presenting an alarm
ing aspect, few sparks having been blown
in the street and then died out before they
struck the ground but notwithstanding the
remonstrances of numerous persons rabble,
composed mostly of boys, persisted In cry.
ing fire" until they rendered themselves
hoatsa. 1t is hoped by macy that Alexan-
dra will soon have fire alarm stations placed
throughout the city. So that when alarms
are turned out they will be for good causes.
