I ask this qiti on becuse, in a conservation with a very intelli gent gentleman and editor, Colonel S;toddart Jones, of Frankfort, Ken tucky, Ie told me that his faith all the while when ho was a staff officer was on the side of Jefferson Davis as opposed tho Virginia combination ; that Davis was more in earnest and more obstinate than they, and less affected with Virginia State rights jealousy ; and Io also said. what I am unable to find proof of that Joe John. ston was an ablor Captain than Robert E. Lee.'' To this replied a distinguished rebel : "Well, I havo never met any thinking man in the South who does not consider tie three Vir ginians, Johnston, Leo and Jackson to have won nearly all the glory of the wlholo rebellion. Ti ablest newspaper in tho Soutli during the war was Daniels' Examiner, at Richmond, and wo are beginning to believe that .l)aniel was inoro of a statesman than Davis. Our peoplo hold to ceo as the great military genius ; but I am not one who has boon able to see it in those lamps. .ce was a docile, aiia lile, careful and dr.voted man, but Joe Johnston's mind was a lightning mitid, and his magnetism is felt by any man who comes in contact with him. While lice is playing school teacher, without the ability to teach, at Lexington, Jo Johnston is making from ten to fifteen thousand dollars a year at Savannab, as the agent of a London Life Insurance Company ; and but for the poverty of the South lie would have been now at the head of soine huge corporate system in our section. Ile is an old man -is Joe-and his body is full of lead, for ho has been wounded thrco times .-twice in Mexico and once at Seven Pines ; but for his campaigns in the Into war, I will point you out three. Iis camlipaign from Yorktown to Fair Oaks, in which lie so battered McClel lan that lie never mado an aggressive movement after Johnston was wound ed, but left the field open to Leo to finish him up. Inl the second place, observe his campaign from Dalton to Atlanta, with 40,000 men to face Sherman, and yet fought no great battle ; and, thirdly, if you want to see the mnagnetium and shrowdness of the man, look at the treaty lie made with Sherman, playing Talloyrand to him, so that Stantoa had to get to work to inake the treaty over again." The Charlotte Obser',er has the fol lowing particulars of the recent lynching at Caswell, N. C.: J. W. Stephens, Seonator from Cas. well county was in town on Saturday night. T4he part iculars'of this torrn lo tragedy are about as follows: On Saturday -the conservatives of' Caswell county held a county conv'ention in the court house at Yanoyvillo. At thme time of the convention Stephens was in towvn, mixing freely with and talking- to the people. For soe weeks past thme torch of the incend1iary has been at wvork in that county, and some of the finest barns, with their contents, generally tobacco, in that section, have la eni redum-d +o ih. As a consequonce, the most intense and bitter feeling existedl between the piarties, and Stephens wa:. 'woorted as jiustifying and oneousa!hm, ha.!rni,, of the barns. and am om ing~ de: in tI event of his be'ing thrate ned w ith ha rmt, or harm othfered hinm or him, the midnight torch should be restored to, to avenge it. ]But notwithstanding this language, it scomns that every thing piasedl off quietly, and the peo ple who had assembled on thme ocoa sion of the convention had dispersed and gone honmo. After awhile Mrs. Stephens, the wife of the murdered marn, beooming uneasy about the continued absence of her husband, sent out persons to look for him. After seareb, they found his lifeless body in a room in the court house, on the first floor, formerly oeoupied as the office of the Clerk and Master. There was a re around his neok, but he was not sus pended by it, and tiher', was no indi cation that lie had been. The kiife had' done the terrible work. His throat was out, and in the gash the knife that inflicted thme wound still lay. .Besides lisa threat being cut, there were three stabs In ia body. We, can't say at what time the body was found, whethor Saturd ay night or Sun day morning. Neither did we learn whether any arrests had been made or upon whom suspicion rested. Such 1 a terrniblo tragedy is to be regretted 1 Sy ever-y good citizen.

Just think of it-a combina bion of land-holders for three years, upon the basis of contributing one pound of cotton poer acre for establish ing cotton manufactories, would ran dler the South independent of the ivorhld and mistress of her own desti ics I This simple plan of combina ion is proposod by one of our most teoilog citizens, who states be haa at to find the land-holder who does 'it agree with him that it is quite asiblo.

The hlain at Last. Perhaps, during the severe drought just onied by so benificeut a raini more than one of our readers bas felt distressed (we confess it for ourselves) at the realization of complete depen donce in what most concerns us upon Divine favor, fear that it might be withheld, and gratitude when it was bes'owed. We regard the manner in which a man regards and feels on this subject of rain as a test question of his religion easily applied. There are those who have felt the same dis. tress,the same sense of dependence upon Ged, the same de8ire (prayor) for relief, during the last ten days, and the same joyful gratitude as our selves, who will not acknowledge it, because these practical emotions are so much at variance with certain vain speculations they are fond of indulg ing in against the theory . of God's special providence in the administra tion of his general laws. To such we say ; your own heart refutes you i know you are noting the hypocrite, while pretentiously assmning the role of the Philosopher ; and you know, you thanked God most hoartily for Thursday's refreshing rain. Perhaps you felt like hearing, or even your self singing, a song of praise. And if so, how does this suit you I "Wake, my heart, and springing Spread thy wings above, Soaring sti U and singing, God is over good. God is good. A Good Begitning. The inauguration of the "Educa tionali Instittue of South Carolina' by the Teachers Convention on thE 19th and 20th ult., is the beginningo01 a progressivo niovement in educatior in the State. Our educators are tot isolated, and need just such an insti. tute to stimulate them to researoli and study, and to emulation in a worthy cause. "Every man,'? sayt Lord Bacon, -"owes a duty to his pro fession,'? and it is to be hoped that all engaged in teaching in South Cjaro lina will remember this, and cooperate In this effort to improve and dignify their calling. [COMMUNeIoATaD.] 1Native Hemp. Mr. Editor : Last summer, during the long dry s',ell, I undertook to write a piece about rain, but the hot sun dried mec up before the piece was finished. During the drought this Spring I have thought several times of completing my purpose, but the severe hail, wind and rain storm, which swept over the Rocky Mont neighborhood on the night of the 20th instant, has given ue enough else to do. The hall storm was the largest and, mesh severe that has visited this'section of countly in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The hail stones were ab out the size of a guinea egg. The damnage done wasn confined principally to the oropw. My object at this time is more es peolally for the purpose of calling your attention te some saqiples of hemp which. I gathered. from some plant. Indigenlons to this conntry.

CoCuLt:A, May 26.-The iq elli genqe that reaches h'ere fiam all seo tions of the State, as to the reawaken ed spirt of the people and their en. thutiasm for the Reform movement, is highly cheering. In addition to the sixtcon counties already mentioned as having taken action with a view to be represented ini the June Convention, we have au thentio iuformation to-unight that Edgefield, Iairfied, York, Greenville and Ocoonee have isnuied calls for coun ty meetings on the 6th of June, to choose delegates to represent those counties in Columbia. Riobland is going to heartily second the voice of Charleston in behalf of Retrenchment and Reform. The onslaughts of Senator Cain, in the Misuionary Record, have at length awakened the Scott Ring to the neces sity of seeming to do something in the line of honesty and retrenchment. The advisory board of the land com mission held a meeting to-night, for the purpose of arraigning Mr. State Treasurer Niles G. Parker for his courso in regard to the purchase of certain lands in Charleston County. It appears that six tracts of land were bought of Mr. Schley, at about $30, 000, for which the State was charged and paid $120,000. The lands had not even been seen by the commission or, nor by any member of the board, and are now represented as almost morthless. The invesitigation is now in progress, under the direction of Secretary of State Cardozo. OUR Youro MKN.-There is ho e from young men of the South. They are not haunted by vague regret and dim visions of a faded glory and splen. dora now traditional. They are not brooding over old wrongs, and asking whether there is a protection from a just God. The old planter will never take lessons from a Northern farmer in anything, because that would be to admit that Northern ideas may be better and sounder than Southern ideas. But the young man of the South, he who honors labor and is not above work himself, will come, in time to understand and adopt asystem that will lift their acres from a value of $10 to a value of $100. Through tillage, blooAed stock, and big manure piles will dogit in South Carolina as they have in riew-Jersey and New York. SmALL FAnms.-The Chautaugua Farmer thus ardently advocates the small farm system t"A communitj of small farmers who have an easy competency, and who engage in every good work of moral and social excel. lence, is a happy society, for it is one in the closest harmony with the re quirements of the Divine Will as expressol in revealed religion. Let the farmer aim at a middle ground one wherein his capabilities for thorough and easy culture shall afiord him time and opportunity to enjoy the amenities of social life, and elevate his aspirationis and actions in the moral scale. In this sphere he will find his greatest enjoyment, and if his purse be not quite so full, the evening of his days will be happy and his children will call him blessed." Tfhe President's Proclamation against the Fenoians gives great satia faction in England. John Bull is delighted with General Grant's fi delity to the neutrality obligations of the Uited States. General'Grant, a faithful public officer, is simply "executing the las, for which duty he was el[ected. President Johnson did the same thing, and President Van Buren likewise. This fidelity of government to its treaty obligations is no now thing, that England should be rejoicing over it, although it Is some what remarkable after the one-side neutrality of the British Cabinet and aristocracy during our late Southern rebellion, and considering, too, that those Alabama claims are till unset tled.-Newv York ferald.

On Thurs'ay an exciting scene occurred at the closo of n speech of the District Attorney. Mrs. L Roberts, the aged mother of the mui der. a ed man, who had been an attentive 8l listen~er to the argument, arose and said r that she desired to make a few remarks r. to the jury. The judge requestei her ti to sit down, but she was persist-ent, and 11 the sheriff was compelled to interfere. Ii She took her seat for a moiont, and tl the officer stopped away, when she again sprang to her 'eet, exclaiming, "le killed my son and I will kill him ;" b rushed upon the old man Stowe, and graspng him by the throat and head, 0 caused the blood to flow front the wounds she inflicted. The sheriff and V his assistants mterfered, and she was forced from the court room, still declar. g. ing that she would yet accomplish her e' purpose. It produced quite a sensation among the audience for a brief period ti Among the Cossacks of the Ukraine, r leap year is eternal. When a voung P woman feels a tender passion for a young man, she seeks hiun at the resia dence of his parents, and addresses hinm a as followvs :"The goodness I see writ ten in your countenance is a auflicient t assuratnce to me that you are capable of b ruling and loving a wife, and yours ex. a cellent qutali'.ies encourage me to hope a that you will rake a good hussband. I It. is thuia belief that I have taken the n resolution to comie, and beg you, with p all due humility, to accept me for vonr spouse," She then addresses the father and mother, and aolicits their consent to the marriage. If she meets with a refusal, she declines to leave the house, anid such conduet is usually crowned with btuccess.
