A biting sarcasm came to the young man's lips, but he re? strained it, , and in a. moment was glad he had done so. It woult? have wounded "these two-kind; - mzf?^o?irisg? men, " who, no doubt, were as unable to" realize the anxiety raised inhis breast, hy Beatrice's .flight, as he was enable to comprehend the importance of tile consequences which they were making such .sacrifices-to avert. Seeing things in the ;same light is-a matter of constitution, educa . tioh, and tanning." Just then Whittaker brought in tea, and" whdst he handed it ro;rad Frank had leisure . to rejoice, insomuch as he had kept his tongue in command: But misfortune had not yet done with fH?ziewooi House. Frank,-in moving Ins. arm, knocked down a cup, and sent its scalding contents ova:, one of the several delicious . little Chippendale tablee, the pride oi the TalbertsTJiearfts and the envy . of their lady friends. . ^^^^^^^j^^?^^^S^^a^Q? fox must have seemed even more'appropriate " tQ : Horace and Herbert as ttey^iniringly assured Fi?h?rifrwas of ~?H> oonseq?ence, non 3 what? ever. They did not even ring Xor aid. Tins, however, was because Whittaker, who had . witnessed the catastrophe, .was already on his way toithe scene withan^armf ol of. soft cloths. ; He mopped and dabbed and wiped the tabla as tenderly m a mother might per? form the ablutions of an infant who suffered from some irritation <jf .the sl?n. Horace and Herbert watched Mm-for a - while, and ?then,:no doubt thinfch ^ their apparent care? lessness-had eas^;?fcm]tfs^^ in . throbbing .andjwiping; They twisted up mi Horace and Herber joined in the triping. corners of their glass cloths, and poked them into every little corner and intersticeexactly. as a cleanly nurse would have explored the jars and eyes of her infant charge. Frank was compelled to stand by all the time and feel what a clumsy ruffian he had been. He sighed his relief as Whittaker at last gath-. 3red up the dusters and departed. .Conversation languished. The misfor? tune-to the table seemed to have driven Beatrice into the background. There is Nothing hkea,secohdr grief for driving out ^m^i^Frarik^elt^nat Horace and Her? bert were rstill thinking of that ill-used piece of furniture. He was right. Pres antly Hoi ace slipped out of the room, and returned with a small bottle of furniture polish anda piece of flannel. Gravely and deliberately he began polishing his slender legged Chippendale treasure. Frank could stand it no longer. There is a limit to penance, namely, human endur? ance. His nerves, af tea* the events cf tho day,, were highly strung, and be felt that if he watched Horace any longer he must burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, ^an't we go and -smoke?" he said. *fCejrtainly,'' said Herbert, whose mind was how more easy aoout the tabla: He ac? companied Frank to the dining-room, where, by and by, Horace joined them. He brought with him ah unmistakable odor of furniture polish,.so..tfeafc.Frank-s remorse was, by the meaburn bf his olfactory nerves, still kept awake. . ' . . "There is another painful duty to per? form," said Horace, helping himself to a cigarette. Frank could not help thinking that the unmentioned painful duty was con? nected with the table. "We feel that we are, bound to let Sir Maingay know what has happened." tvOf course. He is ber father." . "Yes, he must be told. We think it better to make the communication orally." Horace was one who never misused the word "ver? bal.'1 "We shall run up to town to-morrow hand see him." . Frank had already been framing in his mind various excuses fora sudden departure. He felt that, <?ond ?she was of Horace and Herbert, their constant society would at the present juncture drive him half mad. He t jumped at the chance "of escape. "Fll go |-witbyou,"hesaid. They protested against this; but Frank I was firm.

But tl effusiveness enly covered a certain fear; wi which, perhaps cn account of their strikh resemblance to his dead wife, the baron always regarded his tall, grave brothers-i law. To my mind, a widower who marri again had better make a clean sweep of ? his first wife's relational - A painful dut yet due to one's self, as the Talberts wou say. uSo glad, so very glad, to see you, Hcrac so delighted, Herbert," exclaimed Sir Mai gay. "How well you both look I never sa yon looking botter." They told him they were very we?V, "You don't seem to grow a- day olde No family cares to vex you. Most men ke< young as bachelors. A family means r sponsibitity as wall as pleasure, you know. Sir Maingay nodded his head contentedly i one .who- knows all about it. ..^We.hayorsomething to. say to you abot Beatricev" said Hornee. Now, Beatrice was the very last sublet which Sir Maingay cared to discuss withh brother^mrlaw^-.Although they had neve said so much, he felt that they altogethe oisapproyed ef. his- conduct with respect t his daughter.^ He felt that they thought h should not have gone.abroad and left her t herself, although she had been so left by he own expressed, wish. To some people, esp? dally those whose consciences "were ill a sase, the Talberts% grave, unspoken censor was more terribie than vituperation fror any one else." * ." " "About Beatrice," said Sir Maingay. . "Nc ill, I hope? I thought ber looking -far' fror well when she left here. " "No, she is not iii-but we aro in som anxiety on her account." "Ah, I think I .know. I think Pm quit prepared for what you are going to say." Horace raised bis eyebrow*. "You arel he said "If so, it will make our tasl easier.71. i "Much easier,'1 said Herberts *.*Well, you. are going to say that younj Carruthers is in love with , my girl. H came hero once or twice; I saw it then He told me he was going down to yon: place." "Yes, that is part of what we were goinj to say." They had decided it was as well tx let Sir'.Maingay know of'Frank's ambition "Well?' said the baronet, "Hike Carruth ers. Besides he is a kinsman of yours, assure you, my dear Horace, my dear Her bert, I can never forget the many happj years spent with poor-" he actually hesi? tated for the name. Think of that all youmj wives who believe that your husbands wil be inconsolable should death remove you! "with a much beloved member of youi family." ''Thank you," said Horace, quietly. He recognized tiie fact that Sir Malngay meanl welL "Besides," continued the baronet, "Bea? trice is entirely her own mistress. She ha? a will of her own. I have no power over her fortune, which, by the by, is almost as large as my own. This is just as it should be, be? cause with those sons of mine it will be im? possible for me to add to her income at my death." So he rattle! on, bringing out what was really a justification bf himself. "My dear Maingay." said Horace, mildly, 'would it not be better if you heard what we have to say and made your comments afterwards?'. "It would te a great deal better, Main gay," said Herbert. From the days of their first acquaintance they had always assumed this air of superi? ority over the respectable nobleman. Ho had never even struggled against it. So he obeyed and was silent. They told him all about Beatrice. Her letter they could not show him, having for? gotten to ask Frank to return it. Sir Main gay listened,. but did not appear much up? set. "We will of course take any steps you wish, or aid you in any steps you may take," said Horace in conclusion. "It's a nuisance, but I don't see any steps to be taken," said Sir Maingay, composedly "Neither dowe. But we felt it right yon should know at once." "Quite so. As I said, Beatrice always had a.will of her own. She is full of strange freaks-full pf them. ; As yon know for some extraordinary reason she'wouldn't bo presented, and can't live in the sam? house with her mother-" "Ker mother I" exclaimed the Talberts in a breath, and glancing simultaneously at a certain picture on the wall; an upright land? scape which filled the space once occupied by the portrait of -Sir Maingay's "AI>L." The baronet colored. "With my wife, I mean. You may be sure this is but a freak of the girl's. Shs has her maid -with her, you say-a respectable, middle-?.ged woman. Oh, it will be all right. Perhaps she means to write a book. Ladies' do all sorts of things to write ' books nowadays. Lady Fanny Beaumont went through Patagonia and shot some niggers or something. There's another lady who roughs it ia Italy and Spain. Fancy Spain, Herbertl You know what a beastly hole Spain is. Women do all sorts of out-of-the-way things no^s."

Baatricemay have rieft" us unadvisedly, but I am certain her j"reason,. if_ known, would meot with her ; father's and with oui* approval." Lady Claus on at once saw her mistake, and apologized humbly; an apology which the brothers, accepted gracefully. Then, after having been shown the nursery treasures, they took their leave. "Mamg?y does not improve as ho grows older," said Horace. Herbert shook his head mournfully, as one who wished to gainsay a fact, but dare not. . Lady Clauson, in spite of her apology* told her husband that Beatrice had done some? thing disgraceful. "Oh, no, my dear," said Sir Mafngay. "It's only, a freak. Ton know, I won't say .for what reason, she can't come back here to live. "Well, she's grown tired of life down at Oakbury. I don't won? der at it. Horace and Herbert are two reg? ular old women. They darn their own sto Ik? ings, make antimacassars, and all sorts of things. She was ashamed to say she was tired o? the life, so went off on her own ac? count'' Here was yet another motive attributed to ? Beatrice. Nothing is more risky than the attributing of motives. It is as dangerous as prophesying before tin event. CHAPTER XXVL 5N* After onl Carruthers stalled Gray st no doubt husband's : she held wi colored twist of the1 known to thel forming festoons of those1 sausages. Upon learning that wished to speak, to her in private she. wiped her hands on a cloth, and. lifting np a flap, cr species of drawbridge, in the counter begged he would step tiirough and-follow j her upstairs. He did so, and was shown into what Mrs, Kawlings called the parlor; a room, papered wirb a startling paper, carpeted with dazzling carpet; furnished with imitation walnut chairs and couch upholstered in the brightest blue, tapestry; the mantelpiece bearing a mirror in a burnished gilt- frame, and, among other gay ornaments, a huge pair of those glass vases with suspended prisms known as rustres; the fire glowed very- brightly, and was kept in order by a fender and fire irons of flashing steel. It was, in fact, a room which appeared to open its eyes and glare at you as you entered, man even more anxious and preoccupied than "Frank was could not fail to be struck with the general effect. It would have been positively ungracious not to have noticed it. "What a bright room!" he said. "It is a bright room," said Mrs. Rawlings in a gratified way. "You see, sir, we often ?kill as many as thirty pigs before break? fast," This seemed a digression without bearing upon the main subject. "Poor things!'" said Frank, without making it clear whether he referred to the pigs or their slayers. "At first, when I married Rawlings, found it a melancholy business; so I made up my mind to have everything away from the factory, bright and cheerful" "You have succeeded her??," said Frank, as he took the azure-covered chair offered him. - "I hope sa- You see, sir," continued Mrs. .Rawlings, "every business has its drawbacks as. well as its advantages. Many don't like the pork business, but it's a nice "clean bust ness-^there'sino dust about it like there is about baking. I bate dust of any sort." At another time Carruthers might have been: amused and have tried to draw this woman out, but he was now only anxious to hear about Beatrice, so he commenced his inquisition. Yes; Mia. Rawlings had been at Black? town. She had stayed at the "Cat and Compasses." She, or rather her husband, had believed a little boy to be their missing son. A young " lady had called upon her one morning. She gave no name, but she was a tall young lady ; very handsome ; and with gray eye3; beautifully dressed; in fact, quite a young lady. Yes, poor thing 1 quite a lady. .Would Mrs. Rawlings tell her visitor what had besa said or done at that interview? Oh, no-never. The good woman shut her eyes, compressed her lips, and shook her head slowly and solemnly; the combined effects of these actions being meant to show that Beatrice's communication was forever locked up in the sacred repository of her heart. Mrs. Rawlings really meant to keep Bea? trice's secret, and doubtless had no pressure b?en applied she would have kept it loyally. But unluckily she was one of those who have to struggle to retain a secret, not only its main body, but little corners which would slip out unawares. In trying ?o guard Bea? trice's secret from her visitor's renewed questions shs was like one trying to pack a feather bed into a traveling trunk; as ene part was pushed down another part rose up. Tho words "poor thing!" applied to Beatrice had already raised Frank's curiosity to the highest pitch," and made him believe that the present inquiry was not collateral. Was he justified in striving to learn what Beatrice wished hid? He thought so. He loved her with a pure, unselfish love; so unselfish that he was not endeavoring to find the cause ot her flight for his own ends, but in order to be able to give her aid if she re? quired it. Yes, the man who loved hor had a right to try and learn all about the woruau whom he believed loved him. Besides, hod Beatrice in anv way bound t?ift woman ta secrecy? He could scarcely believe it. Hu fancied that Mrs. Rawlings, as some peoplo will, was making a mystery of nothing. Beatrice may have given her monoy tc with di aw the absurd claim, and she was ashamed to confess the fact. "Look here," said Carruthers. "I must and will know what took place between you and the lady. I warn you that by conceal? ment you may do her tho greatest wrong. You cannot hann her by telling the truth." Again-Mrs. Rawlings shut her eyes and shook her head. Again Frank Tressed her, ngain and again. She still.kept the secret, but ever and anon, by moans of some unguarded expression, let a corner slip out. So much so that Frank fully realized the fact that Beatrice was driven to seek that interview by some great streps, some gricvon* need. He bogan to fancy tbatin spite of her denial in knowledge even of her name, Mrs. Rawlings might be able to tell ail about the flight. "Can you tell me where to find her?' he asked. "I warn you if you withhold her address from me you may do her a wrong whieb'may never be repaired. " Hespoke earnestly and impressively, fixing his eyes upon the woman as he spoke. He o learn from her looks whether she dress or not. inspiration seized Mrs. Raw iration may come to a pur ell as to a poet. This young man, young felic v, wa? the cause of all and mischie--what secret.was there fco keep from him? He might be right; mc?culable harm might follow her silence. "You want to find her?' she- asked. "You don't know where she isr "I want to find hen-,'?snail never rest until I find her." His manner told Mrs. Rawlmgsthat hermspiriation was^correct. She rose* and spoke with real emotion. : ' Yes, sir,? .she said* "go and find her. Go and do what is right.. If you are the man, I think your conscience will tell you what to -do.-' Oh, 'sir-,-make what amends you eaa^while there is time; Life is uncerv tain. . It is tbings,of this sort which haunt a man on his death bed." The look of surprise which at first sat on Frank's 'lace: turned to oue of something liko. horror. '"Go on," hs said hoarsely. -.^Perhaps I am wronging you," went on the womai??-J'Ferhaps. you did not know all. She said ' th>-efc?d was born in secrecy. Perhaps you never"fi?sw-it.-fijjt^^goto her now, sir,;ard make what amends you^canT It's not for me to speak, but what can a gen? tleman want ipr his wife moro than a beau* trful.i prc^d^iookm^ybung lady liko" this. ?ear, dearC what She must have suffered;; 'pccr^thing;l, ?:? s ; ^Carruthers was ghastly. His hands grasped "the tabl? for support." Mrs. rawlings glanced at him and felt that her impromptu oration was doing its work. Airs. Rawlings glanced at him. "There, don't take-on so," she said kindly. '-There may be excuses for you. Old people oughtn't to judge the young too severely." "Tell me all she said, every word," gasped ithers. He had forced the woman to ie meant to a pretty boy, sir." "Where can I find herr asked Ncrtf?hat he now hoped to learn. "WhereJ I-suppose somewhere near tho child, down at Blacktown. You know tho lady's name. I don't. But you'll do what's right, won't you, sir?' "Yes," said Frank. "I will do what is 4 right. Thank you. Good morning." He left the room, and departed by the way he had come. Mrs. Bawlings returned to her interesting occupations. She knew the name neither of her visitor nor of the laaj> whom she had scm. at Blacktown, but tothisi day, when she recalls the look of-what she believed to bc remorse on thsfyoung man's face^she is happy in the thought that it may be a few heartfelt and appropriate words, though only spoken by a humble woman like herself, helped on tha great fight of good against evil, righted a wrong, ani made a sist Dr woman happier. May such a mistake occur to many of us. It causes consolation. A worthy soul, Mrs. Rawlings. Never? theless, we will now bid her adieu, and hope that tho business in Gray street continues to flourish.. But Frank Carruthers I Poor Frank whose researches had led. him into such straits. "Who had learned the terrible half truth which by a parodox is often greater than the whole. Carruthers walked and walked-out of Gray's road-on and on-without heed? ing whither. Such grief as he felt to-day was a new experience in a man's life. "When some three months ago Beatrice told him . she' could* not love him, the shock as we know-was great, but in spite of it Beatrice was still the" -Beatrice of ms :dreams. Then there" was Chope;, there? -is always hope in such cases. But new none! Not a vestige! He laughed bitterly as he thought of tho hoars he liad spent endeavoring to find the cause of what he had called Beatrice's com? plaint-of her ?general apathy and.indiffer? ence to the world.at large; ; -Now he .had got .at the very gerin of the disease. No wonder she was cold end reserved with such a secret to carsrv^-tfuch a - dread overhanging her. Poor girl I Poor girl! Ho-could see how the boy's coming to Hazlewood House had been arranged Through Mrs. Miller, of course. And by his new light he was able to explain a discrep? ancy which had always troubled him. On the night when she bade him hope and wait, the nurse had told him that Beatrice had saved her years ago from starvation, where? as, Horace hud told him, that until she came to the house, she was a stranger tb them all He had not thought it worth while to pursue the inqajry. . . - . . - - She, uiis strangely mannered woman, had made him promise to wait Wait for what! There was nothing to *ait for. Even if he, as Tte scornfully told himself he could, should forget his manhood and be willing to toke Beatrice as his wife even now, he knew that a barrier, never to be climbed, would be raised by ber. He did not wrong her in this. He knew that for all that had befallen she was mourning in mental sackcloth and ashes. He had no blame to give her, no stone to cast. She had net tried to win hi; love. She had not accepted that love when offered. Too well he knew why. Yet ho knew also that she loved bim-loved him but would never bo his. The thought dry*e him half mad. No friend of Carruthers' woull have known him, as, with heavy brows and bent hoad, he walked through those quiot streets of suburban London. But why thc flight? No new dread, no new dangar could have threatened her. Did she after ail fly because ho was Coming to Hazlewood House' Did she fora- that her resolution muse give way, aud with ouo breath she must avow her love, and with thc next tell her lover that love could not be be? tween them? No. A word from her would i have stayed his coming. She liad even as good as asked him to come. She was not flying from him. Then the thought of that man who waa seeking har came ;o his mind. Ho shuddered and bit his lip; he knew not why. But his first thought was to trace thi< unknown man and hear why he wanted Beatrice. His mood changed. He would not seek him. He had no moro to ham. Aftor what he hod this morning heard all inquiries, idl information, could but tend to make him more miserable There was nothing new left for him in the world but sheer hard work. 'Work, work, work, the greatest blessing ever given to man. So he waiko ! on and on, almost crying iu his anguish, almost raving in his utter help? lessness to mend matters. But all the while, do what he coidd to tear his idol out of lisr shrine, thinking of her a? tho calm, fair, stately girl ho had known and loved, thy one of all the world against whom slander should. raise no voice. Before bis aimless walk was ended his mood had grown so?t and pitying. Anger bnd simply faded away. Ali he could now think of was Beatrice and her soirow. All he asked was to be able to see her and tell her there was one who would ever bo AS a brother to her. Tho wild resolve that ho would now acquiesce in her disappearance as calmly as did her uncles disappeared. He would-iind her. He would go to her, take her hand, tell her tho secret was his, coun? sel her, and, if it were possible, stand be? tween ber and what she had to bear. JBut he know now, or thought he knew. the ntmo.^ tnaT iiio aaa w -^ he saw in it a-sorry substitute for what it had. seemed to promise only a few days ^Blame her! Wiry should he blame her? How had she wronged him? PTO BE CONTUCUED ] What Our Editors Say. The Meeting at Bennetteville. Marion, Star.. The Joint Summer meeting pf. the Grange and State Agricultural Society, which met in BenjicttsViUc" last week, was largely attencied.hy the farmers of our State, aod the meeting ;was a suc? cess in every way. The delegates from other sections of the State were highly pleaMTh-aadJelighted^ritb the generous, welcome' ID^D^ with ra our srater county: They; were4- en - tbttsiastic in their praisa of the Pee Dee country. The magnificent crops that met their, view enthused them and almost made them wish the whole State was a "Pe? Dee country." . Thejbody was a representative one, aod: we predict a great deal of good will result from the discussions and essays read. Oar county was largely repre? sented'. Bennottsviile is a thriving, and is a prosperous village, and is bounding for? ward in the grand inarch of improve? ment, and with a railroad tapping the Little Kock section, wo aid be a formi? dable rbal to our growing prosperous town. The crops in Marlboro county are magnificent, but we are satisfied that there are crops in our county equally as good, and our farmers have every reason to be proud of the prospect before them. We congratulate Bennettsville on her hospitable reception, and the success of the meeting. We haye heard nothing but praise for the Marlboro people. We could and would say a great deal morer but the able representative of the par will give our readers a glowing and full description next week. The Camperdown Mills. Greenville Mountaineer. (v^?pL"H. Pyfiammett has been chosen the Pr?l?dent and Treasurer of tBeTre^-j Company, and he has paid the entire sum of the purchase money, $70,000, and will in behalf of himself and bis coadjutors, take formal possession of the Mills to? day, (Wednesday.) The propertyjeiil come into their .possession free of all encumbrances of'wbatsoever character. Tomorrow or next day, he will view the premises, and examine into th diti?nidthe^R^^^r^a^dother prop? erty* to see what repairs may be needed preparatory to the resumption of opera? tions. He expects to resume work in the Mills in October, and not before. The scarcity of cotton would^"prevent hin^^g^so^soon^^piBBfos, at thc -fteseDt tune t^fc^Kof the staple and the product of tie Mills are too near together to afford a margin of profit. The amount of stock will be limited to $100,000. We trust we will not be regarded as unduly enthusiastic in saying that, the foregoing information is gran?\and glorious news for our people. When the statement was made public last week that a company composed mainly of our own citizens had purchased the M! L many and many were the expressions o? genuine satisfaction thereat. No pub? lic event of recent occurrence,, except the election of a Democratic President, has given as much pleasure to the peo p?e of Greenville as has the purchase of the Camperdown Mills by Col. Hammett and a number of his friends. Now they know that they will be re opeued, and that they will be permanent ia charac? ter, but will be operated in the interest of our City and of our State, unencum? bered by stockholders and others resid? ing at a distance. Col. .Hammett will ?make them equal his magnificent Pied? mont Mills. Model Boys (?) Camden Journal. We have a nice set of boys growing up in Camden now (we refer only to some of them.) Often times we have seen boys only ten and twelve years of age going along the street smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco as if they were big men, while they were swearing lustily enough to make even a sailor blush for shame. A few of them, in order to appear more mauish, carry a caoe and pistol. The House bf Cor? rection and Reformai ion is the best place for such sports. ' If their parents fail or refuse to train them up so that they cannot conduct themselves properly while away from home, they ought to bc taken charge of by the State ofScials who would give them proper training Bad boys make bad men, and it is from such material our penitentiaries receive the majority of thei;* inmates. The Citadel Academy. Neics and Courier. It is a matter of .sincere regret that the recent changes at the State Military Academy in Charleston should have in? volved tbe resignation of Gen. Del. Kemper, of Virginia. By far the most eminent of the professors, iu thc field of arms aud in the field of letters, is thus taken away from an institution which needs the highest order of character and experience to make it successful iii it? self and honorable to the State. Gen Kemper is not, perhaps, as well known as be should be to the peopole of Charleston, especially to the younger people. But Kempcr's Battery is a household word to thc historians of the First Manassas, and by the veterans of the armies of Northern Virginia and of the West Gen. Kemper is held in most loving recollection, lt must be borne in mind that Gen. Kemper is not an educator by accident or circumstance, tn his early youth, and contrary to the traditions of his family, he cho.ce educa? tion as lils profession, and pursued his studies in that direction until the war began. Entering the Confederate ser- j.t vice, he rose rapidly from the rank of captain of artillery, which he held at Mauassas, to the rank of brigadier-gen? eral, which he held wheo the war ended. Thereupon he returned to his fir>t love, and occupied many a position of im-? \ portance in thc schools and colleges of j the Old Dominion. It is not too much I to say that wherever he went his path j I was strewn thickly with enconfum and j i thanks. While occupying au import* j i rited to come to Sooth Carolina .and he eft Virginia with, the hope of helping o buiy up Jn the Palmetto State en in ilit?t?^ which should be the equal of my in (S? land. We?c?nnot speak: of the. way in which Sen.. Kemper has deported himself as jrofessor of \ physics . at the Military Academy, but his reputation is too well ?tatjf?b?d to be affected by any whirls" w eddies in the current at the Citadel'; md\;we know that his fame as a mathe? matician is so widespread that .during bis' stay m Gbafleston,". problems of a nost difficult kind h?ve : been-sent to bim from every part =iof the ?Union for ais consideration and.solution. Gentle tnao by birth and nature* soldier and scholar, it is impossible that he should bave been other than this in South Car? olina. 1 It is a pity;" t? say the least, that one who shines so brightly to the naked eye, should ever be regarded through darkened glasses. So. far as "we know, no charg?s were preferred against Gen. Kemper, and his career warrants the belief that there is nothing in bis .record here , which is inconsistent with his record elsewhere. It is true that he'felt himslf constrained to place his resignation in the hands of the Board of Visitors. Why that res? ignation should.have been accepted is one of the questions which time alone can solve. It is to be presumed that the. Board of "Visitors-two of . whom have just resignea, by the way-^bud at heart the interests of theOitadeli as they understood them but we very^inuch fea/ that they were ignorant of what is demanded by the best, interest of the Citadel. The Military Academy needs, apparently, at this time, to be saved from its friends. W?mington.Stor.: : Gen. Bob Toombs considers Grant the greatest general of the war.. Bat then the able Georgian was pot consid? ered the best judge bf military mattera. Col'. Bodge, of the ?. S.-ArinyV says Gen. Lee "was easily the greatest."

Grant because we -know how feeling sways judgment, and do not care to be as un? pleasant to anybody as our republican friends at the north are to us when they frankly express what are probably their houest opinions about Lee, Davis, Jack? son and others of our late side. Never? theless, we can not refrain from remark log that the distinguished Beast whose other name, is Butler has expressed our ideas about Gen. Grant's military char? acter. The Beast is entitled to no credit for it, however. We doubt -if he believes", wbajt.he.says. It Js, likely that - he is only returning on .Granjt dead the blow struck by Grant living in his famous dispatch in which1 he described the Beast as being "bottled up'-4 by the Confederate forces. . .? ? - j Burled With the Honors of War.
