Col. Win. Johnston has been ro nominated for mayor of Charlotte by both ,parties. A doserved corn pliment. In one of the startling hread-lines of the Chronicle and Constitution -alist of Tuesday, the compositor spelled "damming" with one "m. 'The editor next morning supplied the' omission with an "n." Don't'the Radicals wish now that they hadbehaved with some slight -decency last winter T They would still have'bean formidable. As it is, their -contumacious conduct has 'anscd them to lose everything. Tho'Chmaleston Journal of Com meree has passed its first 'birthday. Founded at a period of great finan 'cial deprossion, and -compelled to 'undorgo unprecedented expense and :labor, it has conetantly improved, and now tidks a deservedly high rank. Thomas, of Noherry, saffron -colorod, and Straker, of Orangoburg, pure jot, have boon unseated on ac -count of the virulenco they mani fested in the Mackey mob last win ter. It is thought that Cdl. Y. J. Pope will succeed the one and -Colonel Dibble the other. A senatorial election will bo hold in Chester.on the 15th, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna tion of Dublin Walker. Judge Mackey will stump the county in behalf of the Domourntic nominee. The Denocraits are preparing for a grand rdlly, and anticipate a major ity of at least five hundred. The widow of Stonewall Jackion was recently engaged by the Phila -dclphia 'Timanes at a hundred dollars a column to write several 'letters to. 'lot paper desofiptivo of the private life of herhusband. A -reporter of that paper interviewed ther on the .subject and published -a sensational 'and garbled account of their eon -versation, asserting that she .had 'depreciated the other Confederate leaders. Mrs. Jackson denies this temphatically. The Columbia .Register has par tially changed hands. Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, of the Anderson lntelligencer, and Messrs. Emlyn and McDainiels, .of the original comnpa ny, have as :sumed charge. Colonel Hoyt, in an, -admirable salutatory, defines i s purposoe and foreshadows his futiu'o 'course. It 4s needless to say that she-wvill be a'towe.r of strength to the Begiser. .A .plendid field for .journalismi'ie open in Columbia and (Colonel Hoyt and Messrs. Emnlyn .and McDaniels have the ability, ex porience rand businesie tact to dlill it with success. Long life to the R~og .ieter. It has iboon surmised 'that the Legislature will -enter into a new rolection for Uniteod States ,Senator. 'This dcareny needs correction. The House dfiRepresentatives issued .a regu~lar mnotice to the Senate last 'winter .to .enter into an .election according 'to law. The majority of 4he Senate acted :in contempt, but .all the Democrats repaired to the House, and, togetber with the 'Rep rosentativeis present, found a mnajori ty of all the members chosen to the General Assembly. General Butler was elected in due 'lorm, and he is now entitled to his seat in the Senate. No now election .is .necos isary. Should the Radical rnjorityin that body see fit to exclnde 'General Butler then, and not till then, will 'the Legislature go through the dorm of electing im again. A hunter in Lexington boasts that last Monday morning he caught a red foz mleasuring from tip to tip four feet and one inch, and from toe to toe, three feet and one in~ch. The race lasted four hours with seven A Thief Crying "Stop, Thief." Whittemore, the cadet peddler, rose in the Senate on Tuesday, and in reply to charges published in The News and Courier that he had been in the habit of llafling cham pagno and smoking choice iavanas at the public expense, mulade an mns phatic denial of every accusation pre ferred against him. Ho then pro coeded to makea bitten attack upon the proprietors of '/%c News and Con ricr, in which ho read certain letters purporting to bo from Messrs. Riordan and Dawson, relative to the public printing and certain oth er matters, by which ho endeavored to connect them with the corrupt practices of the ring. The News and Courier promptly repelled the charges, and Captain ).awsvon has toned to Columbia to demand an in vestigation. He makes a good do fence. We trust the public will defer judgment until further devel opments are made. The News and Courier has been of immense ser vice in overthrowing corruption, and its reputation should not be in the hands of every baffled Radical ring thief. While a number of the best people of the State oppose, The News and Uourier, it is well known that all tho Radical thieves, big and little, denounce it b'tterly. Whittemore is a sweet-scented scoundrel to bo pro forring charges against anybody. We predict that he will soon be in the penitentiary, where ho can be slime nobody. MATTERS IN RIDGEWAY.

It.is ne'edless to say they were partaken of with a keen relish by all. A beautiful feature of the enitertinment was that cloths were spreald upon the green swvard and covered with -the choicest eatables for the junior p)ortionl of those pres ent. After the May pic-nic, all return ed to the throne-and then the most laughter-provoking charades, dialogues, &c , &c., were acted by the girls aind boys of the school, in the most exact iand~ pleasant manner.

Davis,' where they passedl sevieral hours in dancing and other amusenients. 'We had a goodl rain on last Snn day, with some hail. The latter did no harm and the former was mnclh needed.

On Saturday, the '29th alt.,. a storm ok teat severity passed over a portion oi York county,, near Rockm Hill. It was a compound of hail, rain and wind, tind prostrated ev'ythi'g' in its track The War In Europe. The war in Europe lip to Wed nesday had not assumed any now phases. The Russians had opened siege on Kars, a town in Turkish Armenia. England and France will remain neutral unless Ruesia besieges Con stantinople. Forty thousand Circassiaus have joined the Turkish army of the Danube. The Russians are strongly fortify ing Galatz, and are putting together small gunboats brought there in sections. Tho "Golos," a Russian news paper, has been suspended two months for attacking the adminis tration. The Russiwns, fearing .England's occupation of Crete, have ceased to excite patriotism there, .and have stopped sending supplies. Hungary sympathizes :strongly with the Tuiks. The Sultan is on his -way to Shumla, in Bulgaria, one of the keys to Constantinople. The Khedive of Egypt will assist the Sultana with money and :troops. The London in&es continuues to deprecate unnecessary alarm, and says that even if we had the .most positive assurance that Russia in, tended to besiege (",onstantinople, there would be ample time to ,tako needful; precaution after her army croissed the Danube, but to assume that the Russian leaders have any such design is to .suppose they have talkcn leave of their senses. It is not Turkey alone they would have to meet, nor Turkey and England, but the whole of Western Europe. We may safely assume that Russia is not altogether devoid ,of common sense, and meanwhile we may keep ourselves cool. Col. Valentino Baer, the dashing cavalry officer who served some time in prison for insulting a lady on a railway car, is or gmnizing the Turkish cavalry. PIbs.rt Pasha, Admiral of the Turkish flot, is son of the :sixth. Eail of Buckinghamshire, and uncle, iof the seventh Earl.
