This opinion is sustained by the National Intelligencer, the organ of the President It always speaks by the card, and iU opinions are the reflex of those of iha President and Cabinet.

Piath ?v Vs. Ganco, or Gsiumtmu --It is with deep and einoere regret that we announce the death of William Gregg, Sen., Esq., President of the Graniteville Manufacturing Company. The melancholy event occurred, at Kalmia, early yesterday morning. Mr. Gregg was a native of Monongalia Coonty, Virginia. Tie was brought up to the trade of a Watoh maker and Jeweler, and, in early manhood, settled end carried ? 1 * - To-or^lor in Columbia. via uuniiVfo, ?w ? wh?M, by his industry, energy and enterprise, he accumulated a handsome fortune, leaving Columbia, be removed to Charlee ton, where he was, for some time, eonneet" ad in business with the Tlaydena. He, along with the late Ker Boyce. and other capitalists, established the Oraniteville Manufacturing Company, of which he may be regarded as the founder. He finally do oted himself entirely to this institution, and removed to his charming residence, at Kalmia, two miles this side of the village , ?t Oraniteville, where he dispensed a generous hospitality. He was a man of liberal views and enlarged benevolence, and bla charities to the needy and deserving, eepeeially during the late disastrous war, were numerous and munificent. Oraniteville and its flourishing ootton factory confltilute his honorable and enduring monument. He converted an Idle, vagrant and ignorant population into an industrious, moral and educated community. In cst&bliahing the factory, ho and his colleague eared for the interests of religion, by the raction and endowment of two church ed~ ifioes (Methodist and Baptist.) and, at the came time, provided for the education of the ohildran of the operatives, by the endowment of a free echoo). He was truly a public spirited and patriotic citizen, and his death will be felt and mourned as a pnblio calamity. lie was in his sixty-seventh year when he closed his useful and honorable career. He has Ieft-an amiable widow anil several worthy sons and daugh tera to deplore his irreparable loss. Our personal knowledge and experience of his high intelligence and many vi-tries mingles private grief with our sense of public lea*, aa we pen thia inadequate tribute to bis memory.?

The ezeiting oase of the United States ts.

The oase had oocupied ten daya'time of theeourt It was prosecuted and dafended ably and vigorously. Three days wore taken up with arguments to the jnry. Seven days having beon oonsnmed in elioiting the teatimony,and in dlsoussingand settling the numerous points of difficulty in the pleading* and evidence. Every inch of ground wan obstinately contested. The counsel for the defendants (Meters. Eablst, Prrrt and Thomas, of Greenvillo, Qabt, of Edgefield, and Portkr of Charleston) seemed well fortified and oonfident In their lines of defence, whilst Diatriot Attorney Corbih, and liis associates, Rkki> and Earik, wore equally earnest and confident on their side, and ter~ ribly aggressive in thoir assaults upon the well defended positions of thoir opponents. It was manifest to tho speotators that both parties were after gaining two poeitious i essential to success, known as the Bench and the Jury Box. After some sevore skirmishing and occasional heavy attacks from one and tho other party to carry tho Bench on their side on legal grounds, on clearing up of the smoke it was discovered with a decided bearing to the law side of the assail' Anu. 1110 Iiencu COUIU Iiuv wo uciu UJ buv defence, and there vaa very just alarm on that aide at tho proepeot, that ita great weight would be projected by the assailants agninat the Box now dcpeidod upon as the final protection agninat the enemy. Strong efforts were made to defend this position against the overpowering pressure, but when In the end the whole force of tho Bench fell full upon it, it was na usual, entirely carried by the assailants. Tho da fenders wore, therefore, obliged to surrender at discretion. It must be oonfosaed that tho Bonch rested at last as softly and tenderly npon the fallen defendants, as the I nature of the case permitted. Tho seutence of the Court was do more than was abso lately required by law, hut severe, never tbelesf ; the penalties and costs irapossd amounting to twelve thousand dollars and upwards, with tho alternative annexed, that if the same were not paid, the parties should suffer imprisonment for one year saoh. We would be glad to report something of the eloquent and able arguments of counsel in this case, but neither epnoe nor time permits. The efforts made on the occasion, were well esloulstcd to add to tha reputa tion of the gentlemen engagod, most of whom are already very distinguished in this State.

I l Militia Offlotrt and Begistratlon. We vara astounded yesterday, o.? being hovn an order from Headquarter*, Dietriot No. 1, absolutely declaring militia of Boers la thia State not aaUtlad to register, apon the ground that they may have had something to df with enforcing the patrol lawa of the State. The reason seams moat fallaelooa indeed, and the rule. It strikes us, vary nnfoundad. The order Is from Gen Sickles, being dated August 4fih. We hare little doubt that bad the General remained, this order woold be revised and countermanded, aad there Is also every reason to helieva that it will be by the I pretest Commands!". The Aoi oi congress plainly refers to civil offices, Judiolal, Executive, L^giilatln, to. To axolnda ovary officer, military as wall aa civil, would make the Aot of Congress nonaeneioat, fori by specifying a close of offlooa. It, by nee~ eesary implication, omits thoaa not epool fled, and If every officer of a State waa intended to be disfranchised, the Aot would have said so. Oea. Sicklks must have acted hastily and unadvisedly in this Order of the t?tb, August. All persons however who think they are entitled to register, militia officers inoluded.are permitted to have their names entered, with the challenge and objaetion, and they will be reported for final decision to the MajorGeneral Commanding, and, wa tharefore, recommend all militia officers to take this course; tboy are not required to take the oath in so doing; that will bo administered hereafter when the General decides in their favor. We hope, therefore, no one, not plainly exoluded by the Act of Congreaa, will fail to come forward and have their names registered, or entered for registration.

Id be derived from tho oontctnplated rail-road connection, of Aditfillt and Greenville, urging many considerations, going to chow that the propoccd oonnaotlon woald prove mere advantageoas to the people of Wcetera North Caroline, then that afforded by any other route over the mountain*, and that tbte route hade double advantage over any other, to Ashevllle and all oonnected with that plaoe, inaerauoh aa the route to Greenville would give them tho beat aonneetioB with Charleeton, and aloo a nearly direot route to An gnat* and Savannah, at the came time giving them a oonnee lion with Colombia.

I bore met many old friends, and tho old pastor, Dr. Boras, and was reoognised by all, so yon may know that I spent an agreeable timo here. I think our Baptist friends at the First Churoh are getting prond: they are spending some $10,000 on the Churoh, and a new organ, | which I was rather sorry to see, whilst we are | suffering so mneh in our burnt country for places of worship.

I was surprised to sco such a small sohool, not more than one hundrod boing in attendance; the whole number is not more than two hundred and fifty, and is rather poorly oonduoted. They request* ed mo to make a speech but I declined. The Infant Class is very small. After 8nnday-8ohool, I attended Church and heard a good sermon, after whioh I took the street oars to the Central Park, some half hour's ride. This Park la a pleasant and novel plaoe j thousands of persons and carriages visit here on Sunday j took a long walk all through the Park. It U beautifully laid off, in niee gravel walks and carriage drives. All kinds of shrubbery growth is to be seen here, and nloely seated and handsomo arbors, all through It, with saloons for refreshments; near the eeotre are beautiful pools, with water founts and fish, also, a beautiful lake, with alee little heats, upon whioh you can get a two mile's ride for ten eents. After the boat ride, I then strolled on to a large building, which is the Museum. It contains ell sorts of both wild and tame animals and fowls; a great many are alive and some dead, also many otherourtesiUse; several balls and shell whioh were fired at CharlesInn find Viol flnmUr a?a iKal maa Mm* J * the rebel English gune, something larger than a common nail keg ; thla latter appeared to be muoh of a curiosity.
