A KoTjRrn Soldier ? Rise* tu Ex plain." Mr. P. F. Duffy, a gentleman of North ern birth, who fought iu the Federal Army ' against the South, now an esteemed citi zen of North Carolina, and the Editor ol' the Greensboro' Patriot, comments ?Alts ?pon Mr. Davis' late speech in the follow ing terms in the last number of his paper: "He said that if the Southern people had anticipated what was in store for them they would to-day be eajoying their inde pendence, and it is true. The leaders of the w.r partv in the North liad to the people of the North and South, and thus secured the support, of the Northern people and the final surrender of the Southern armies. They went into a war with the cry of Union on their lips, and it was this cry. that filled their armies which ?warmed ?"ver the South. When charged by the Democracy with making it an abolition war, a war to'free and en franchise the negro, to destroy State Sov ereignty, to annihilate the rights of ci ti zens and States, they denied it strenuously and filled their dungeons with editors and speakers who hid the courage to charge them with it And yet we have seen all this brought about, and more, too, than we ever dreamed of, and not only the Southern people, but also the Northern people " cheated," os Mr. Davis expresses lt These may he unpleasant truths for Mr. Davis, or any one else to utter, but still tiiey be troths, nevertheless, and all the pens in the Radical domain cannot anwrite Item." How an Old Lady Foiled Two Villains In Louisiana. The Opelousas, La., Journal, of the 15th, is responsible for the following: " Down in the Parish of St. Martin, an old widow lady, whose children had al! married off and left her alone, had been persuaded to sell her little place and live . with them She sold ber land, buildings and improvements one dav for $2,000, and received the money in cash on the spot, in her own house, where the act of sale was passed oefore two witnesses, the num ber required by law, and who witnessed also the paying of the money. In a short time ?he was to give possession, but she re mained in the house the night following the sale, all alone, or with no masculine adult inmates, as was her custom. That night two negro burglars broke into thc house and demanded her money or her life. She gave it to them, but begged them to let her have $100 of it, as she owed that amount, and wanted to pay the debt, when' abe ifould be satisfied. They finallv con sented to let her keep the"$100. "They then ordered her to make some coffee for them to drink. In doing so, she bethought herself of some strychnine she had in the house, and quietly dropped it in the pot of steaming coffee, and placed it on the table, with cups, spoons and sugar for them to pour out and sweeten to their taste. This they did, and drank in a jolly mood, each one having nine hundred and fifty dollars in his pocket. But in a few minutes the tables were turned. One gave up the ghost where he sat at the table ir. his chair, and the other got up, staggered off a few fejt, and tumbled over into eter nity. The good old lady recovered h?r rooney, and on examining the persons of tile black burglarious robbers, they turn ed out to be the two witnesses to the act of sale, both white men blackened foi the occasion-both her.neighbors, andone was her cousin." A Double Murder in a School-House. We find m the Atlanta Herald, of the 4th, the following account of a terrible tragedy that occurred in Burke County, Georgia, on the 28th of August, the result of a difiiculty between a teacher and a young man, one of his pupils. The teacher was Mr. Alfred Alexander, aged forty years, and the student, Mr. John H. Moss, aged about twenty one. A woman, the wife of the teacher, was at the bottom ol the affair. Though not in the discharge of any regular duty, it was her custom to .bservethe conduct and deportment of the pupils, and when she considered .hem guilty of any breach of decorum to report lem to her husband for reproof or other punishment. On last Friday she reported ?oung Moss, who denied the charge made y her, and this led to animated and angry dispute. Alexander -became enraged at the your g man lor the part taken by him in the controversy, and, advancing to wards Moss, drew a knife and stabbed him in the breast. Moss thereupon plung ed a dagger into Alexander's heart, who immediately fell fatally wounded. Just then Moss turned to leave, but Mrs. Al exander, who was at the side of her. hus band, wrung the knife from his hand and administered one or two severe cuts to Moss in the back, near the region of the spine. The result was that both lay mor tally wounded on the scene of the conflict.1 and expired ia a short time, the one with- ', in three minutes of the other. It is not definitely known whether MOM died from tho wounds received from the wife or hus band as all were severe and reasonably scicient to produce death. The whole schcol and entire community were thrown into the deepest consternation and excite ment over the affair which, though short, was so decisive and terrible. General longstreet Avoided Like a Leper* A correspondent of the Norfolk Jour-j nal writes from thc Alleghany Springs as. Mm': There are here, and have been during the season, a number of celebrities, who have quietly shared the intercourse 'ol their fellow-citizens from different parts ot th* country. Within a lew days a not ?erv welcome associate, General Longstreet of New Orleans, lias put in his appear ance here. It is sad to recognize how low he has fallen in the estimation of those Who otherwise would delight to honor him. He mores about without friendly recogni tion from any, though there are here many of his old associates in arno. He has bartered away a noble heritage, ami while none would harm, all are ready to aay, " So let it ever be with those who ?eil themselves for place and profit." A Row is THE SOUTH CAROLINA Gov MtNoa's OFFICE.-On Wednesday rnorn ?jg^a* we leam from the Colombia Sun, ex?Yial Justice Ben Hernandez, of Char leston, called to have an interview with Governor Moses, in reference to some mon ey which the Governor owed bim. When he arrived at the ante-room of the Execu tive office, he was confronted by a door keeper, who told "him the Governor was engaged and he could not see him. Her nandez said that his business was urgent, and insisted on being admitted into the C'vate office of the Governor. The door mer refused positively to let him pass, and in order to prevent him from getting in thc door, shut it and put himself in a defensive attitude. Hernando* made a mah for the door, but the vigilant door keeper was equal to the occasion, and pre vented him from entering by giving him a violent push ; this so exasperated Hernan dez that he made ac attack on the door keeper and felled him to the floor. The Governor, hearing the noise of the fight, it once rushed upon the scene, and was met by the redoubtable ex trial justice, who threatened to deal with him in a like manner, if fae didn't pay him the money that was dne bim. At that juncture, fortunately for his Excellency, a police man came to the rescue, and, after con siderable difficulty, 'succeeded rn carrying the pugilist off. Hernandez claims that Governor Moses is indebted to him in the sum of five hundred dollars. ay Mr. John Borkhalter, Sr , a high ly respectable and well known gentle man, died at his home in the town of Aiken, on the 2d inst, in the 77th year of his age. ?mT" What has nigger! s in done for Benth Carolina7 Listen.

That w.ord Hawai Mr* Davis Interviewed. Not to be outdone by its Northern con temporaries, the Lynchburg Republican dispalched a reporter to the Montgomery White Sulphur Spriugs, for the purpose of "interviewing" ex President Jefferson Da vis, with the result recorded below : Reporter.-You are looking remarkably well, Mr. Davis. I suppose it is caused by your releas* from exhaustive public duties ? Mr. Davis.-My health is better than it has been for years, and is no doubt at tributable to the cause you specify. Reporter.-How long will you tarry at this watering place, sir ? Mr. Davis.-For a few days only ; .pos sibly not more than forty-eight hours. Reporter.-Was your visit to this place an accident or by special invitation ? Mr. Davis.-Not by any special invita tion, certainlv ; but it has been a special privilege. To meet with Generals Beau regard, Earlv, Lee, Maury, Pickett, Pies ton, Admiral Jemales, Gov. Letcher and others, was a reunion I never anticipated. To leave them, seemingly sc abraptlv, I greatly regret. Reporter.-Will your remarks before the Southern Historical Association, on yesterday, not be subjected to severe stric tures by"the Northern press ? Mr. Davitj-^-That may be, that as " sen sational" in their food, and there is a dearth iu this line just now.* .To object to my speech per se will only prove the gag-law system of the Republican party. To com ,bat what I stated would be as fruitless as resisting-the decrees of a foreshadowed des tiny. No Government under mere ad ministration influence' has ever so far been severed from fundamental principles as this of ours. A third tann would cen tralize ur. into Imperialism. To public men, whose life time has been spent in studying the science of Governments, the present tendency of things is very depress ing. I am more than ever convinced that military men, especially fresh from the field tif victory, are not the men to admin ister civil affairs. Wiiat does Gen. Grant know of those principles of constitutional liberty in which the safety of our Repub lic depends? His education has been purely military ; his habits of thought and action have led to crush opposition a* the first necessity ; to dictate a line of policy not to be deviated from under any circum stances ; to lay down his " base of opera tions, and fight it out on that line." To compel him to study International Law at this period of his life, to practise diploma cy, and appreciate the geDius of our insti tutions, would be as impossible as distaste ful. Mental science is a falsity if our reasoning be incorrect. Reporter.-Did not General Washington and General Jackson make most admira ble Presidents ? Mr. Davis.-Neither of them were mili tary men. Necessity made them leaders, education did not. Patriotism threw them into the breach, ambition did not, nor a panting for military honors. Their minds were more those of statesman than of he roes. Hence the soldier at once became absorbed in the civilian. Neither Wash ington nor Jackson were surrounded by favorites lrom the field or partisans from a party. Reporter-I perceive you fear the mili tary. Mr. Davis.-Military and civil la.v are opposites. The one the antagonist of the other in spirit and nature. Csesar, through . the military, became the Roman Emperor ; Napoleon, through the military, became Dictator and Emperor. Infuse a military spirit through the people, let the press disseminate it, and ere a quadrennial we will be virtually an Imperialism. The failure of the South was a fearful blow to constitutional liberty. If the North does not now posses.-" salt enough to preserve the country we area wreck. Putrefaction is already threatening. Reporter.-Will your Southern Histori cal Society acsoinpiish any practical re sults? Mr. Davis.-Unquestionably. The mov ers in the matter arc a sufficient guarantee for this. General Early has been of in valuable service already in this way. He has studiou: ly watched" ever}' article upon the 44 Late War" which has appeared in our periodical literature and corrected er rors in figures or facts.. Jtfaking him -Pres ident of this society will make "him the more active and vigilant. With Early upon the land forces and Semmes upon tbe sea, we m*y be confident of satisfacto ry results. Reporter.-May I ask for further light upon that portion of your speech of yes terday, in which you say. " We have been cheated rather than conquered, and could we have foreseen the results of the surrender we would have been free to day ?" Mr. Davis.-That is my conviction. Had our leaders and soldiers ever dreamed of the evils now upon the Southern .States, as the result of. Radical rule, they would have protracted the struggle until " reb els" became patriots. What South Caro linian would not sooner have died upon the field, than live with a negro Legisla ture, prostrated business and ruined State ? What Louisianian would not prefer follow ing Longstreet in the field to Longstreet as a tool in New Orleans? We were cheat ed not conquered, and I hope to see the day when our principles will become, as they once were, the principles o? our gov ernment, republican not imperial, States rights, not States usurped. Constitution al not ' higher law." Excuse me from talking longer, as the few hours I have to .spend nere forbid a protracted interview^ I hope to have sufficient leisure soon to '.empi?te a work which is as dear to my heart as ils contents may be useful to anning generations.

This scheme, it is said, will be strongly urged by the Governor in Iiis message. To pay interest on ?S,0??S000 instead of $1(>, 000,000, would be a decided relief to tho taxpayers of South Carolina. With no faith in the Radical party, and no hope, we yet pray that God may move them to. some Buoh consummation. Charleston iu Imminent Danger. Our brave, ancient and honored metro polis, which for twelve years past has suffered so mitch, is, we fear, about to experience renewed humiliation and damage, by the passing of her municipal government into the hands of the Radi cal party. The annual election is to take place sdbn. The Radical party is divi* ded into two hostile factions Of one of these factions, Genl. Gurney is the l?vor ite for the nomination for Mayor. Of the other, one of the irrepressible and dead ly Mackeys. The conservative candi date, from presont prospects, will be either Gon. Wagener, the present incum bent, or Major Boag. In the meantime Gov. Moses, to use the words of the Charleston Ncivs d' Courier, " has showu a reckless disre gard of public decency" by appointing all rive of the necessary Commissioners of Election Vrom the Rudical party. And the election law is infamous of itself. There is no registration, and any one who happens to be in the city may voto. And should the result of thc election be contested, there will bo no appeal from the decision of the Commissioners-all Radi cals. We fear for Charleston, but ear nestly pray that she may come safely through this deadly breach of rascality. -.- -?? -?. ? - ' Now Trouble lleglus.

From the Parisian and New York au thorities on the the subject of fashions we learn that bonnets will be worn lar ger than heretofore, and will be covered with a great profusion of trimming. The material used will bo principally Lyons velvet and armure silk. Laces also are much used. Flowers and feathers will be worn considerably as ornaments, and decorations of steel and jet will be pop ular. A few oxidized articles for trim mings have been imported. The most popular shapes will' bo very flaring in front, giving a chance for displaying thc inside trimmings to great advantage The ribbons for strings and trimmings will be of gros grain silk, and generally of two opposition colors, that is, colors that do not match. Some of the ribbons will be of gros grain and satin mixed. The prevailing colors will be such som bre hues as bronze, olive, indigo blue, dark Russian gray, steel color and dark bottlegroen. The most fashionable widths will be between Nos. 12 and IC. In trim ming bonnets long shaded feathers will be much used. Wings are no longer to be used. Round hats will also be much larger this season than they wore the last, and the trimmings will be similar to those of the bonnets, the principal differ euee being in the strings.

Harrison's plantation, and for forty odd years had been a member of | the Baptist Church at Gilgal, and had lived a pious and religious lifo. Ile was tho fainer of many sons and daughters, whom he had led and taught to serve the Blessed Redeemer. He suffered a great deal lor the last four years, but at the Lodi of his Master, on tho 18th July last, fell asleep in Jesus. Also, departed this life, on the 19th of July, 1873, Emiline Manee, the wife of Montgomery Manee, a licentiate Minis ter of the A. M. E. Church, on tho Har risburg Circuit. They were married the 25th Dec, 1872, at the.place where she was born and raised. About six months previous to her death she began to linger with a painful disease, from which she suffered a great deal. She bad been -a member of the Methodist Church for. fourj'ears, and lived a pious, christian lifo, obedient to her Maker, and much subject to prayer. She soemed to have felt her destiny long before itapproached, and told her husband a few weeks before she died that she was going from all her suffering before very long; and when the moment finally approached she bade her husband a last farewell, and with a smile, closed her eyes in death.
