Tbi Ra nMOhD ERiciBKK’s Follt.—It is nateasy
to estimate the e^il that one imprudent man may do
to bis cenntry, when at the head of a Press, and that
Press lo:a:*d in Richm«n«i The Richmond Enqai-
rer is a case in point. It has recently startad two
notions, c»ch of which has caused controversy and
discouragement at heme, and confirmed the yankaes
in their favorite idea tba> the Confederacy is on the
point of giving up. If they kad originated aay-
where but in Richmond, it ia probable little or bo
attention would have been paid to tkans. But tte
Prase of that city has far mare inflnence%npoa th«
pablic th'^D it ought to have, for. as a whole, it is
delcient in judgment, and is much too prejudiced to
be relied upon as a safe counsellor.
W e notice that the last of these propositioBi af
the Ecqnirer, (to form an alliance with England and
France.) ka^ been promptly snapped up by 8eward
and sent off to all the U. S. Ministers in Europe, as
an evid-^nce that we are no longer able to resist and
therefore should na longer be treated by European
na'.ioDs as a belligerent power. It is possible that
tbif> idtta may be pressed to some effdot, and tkat it
mat damage us to some extent in Europe. What
good it has done or caa do uii, either there or hare,
it would uot be easy to tell.
i ns proposition appears to have been attributed

Mosa I.'fDisoBBTioNS OF THS Pbbss.—The Char,
lottosville (V'a.) Chronicle, a paper spoken of m
©diied with grea» ability, if not discretion, lately
^(harged that President Divis had “direrted” him-
iwlf with varioaa untoward orders of troops, which
reenlted in disasters. The following are a few of its
charges:
-Oq ihe «ve tte battle of ChancellorsvUla, when

was andertai-^n; snd A'dsUiagtoa was nst tar .ateaed bv
a carps o^eratiujj along the Orange railroad—as was
recommended by Gea. Lee. Mr, Da via could n-it spare
the men from Richmond. Hence Mea^e w>i8 enabled to
follow the movement of Gen. Lee afid sjlse the Hei^bis
of (iettysburg
-To relieve Petersburg, 1« than 15,000 men w«re s^nt
upon a dvertion into Maryland, after Hunter was driven
to the Uliio river. The 6lh and lUth I’orps were order'd
to reinforce Sheridan and Orobk; 11,000 cava)ry wer»
tbro*^n upon Gen. xiarly's dinkd -inan open country, far
more favorab e to their evo'ulioas than the wooded re
gion alouK ine Appomattox, where they had been nnab e
to ooera:e elf;.cliveiy. The couceutr.iiou was fearfully
agaiust us.’’
Toe R'chmond Sentinel ia authorized to say, that
"tach one of the above statements is wholly un
founded and without a semblance of jastificatioa or
excuse.” The Sentinel addd:—
• The macoeavres ol Gea. Lee’s campaigus fcave keen
uU h't otff/i. Admirable manoeuvre's they have been; and
my?t happily adapted to-ibe uircumatances of the coun-
^Tj. Tney have wou for him a renown of wh'ch we have
ao d UDl the President would be exwr maly pr >ud, it it
'.v-re fa rly hif*; bat he deserves uo more of it than be-
lon.r! to a cordial approval of thi policy of the distlu-
^ uo'-al, and an admiration of the genius which
coaceivid it.”
The Sentinel supposes that the Chronicle’s object
was to atta(,-k Gen. Lee through the President—that
it inew the public feeling would nat tolerate an open
BBsanlt npon the great and good General, and that
therefore this indirect mode waa adopted. We do
net think this supposition correct. It was simply
an attempt by a “parlour General’' to show his supe
rior capacity to manage a great army, particularly
aft*?r events had shown what movements had been
snccessfnl and what faiiuree; and to weaken the arm
of 'he government by attributing to the President an
mproper interference with Gen. Lee’s operations.
It has come to be a received notion, founded upon
jastsufii publications as this of the Cfjronicle, al
lowed to pass uncontradicted, that the President in-
terf-res in everytning, and orders everything, not
only in the Departtnents at Bichmosd, but also, in
all the arfflies. We are glad to see the Sentinel’s
explicit contradiction, for we confess that we had
given some credence to the uncontradicted asser
tions of sach malcontents as the Chronicle.

Lincola has not senae enough to pursue this poli

of tho proper treatment of rebels ia a lonf latter

latioB A s justification of tbis policy he cited ia his
letter tke treatment of the revolted Irish by William
aad Mary, two centuries ago, and tke pnnishnant of
Sat»B and the rebelllovs angels. It is now 8*id of
him, that “Since he left Milledgeville, Sherman seems
to have changed his policy. In that town, as before
at A tlanta, he waa all harshness and brutality; at
Savannah he has been all conciliation.” This last is
probably the resnlt of ad*ice from some of Gov’r
Bro^ni’s men. It plainly is not Sherman’s own poli
cy, nor that of his government, for the bitter malig
nity of both has been too often and too outrageously
manifested to be susceptible of a donbL
We have reason to believe that sinca Sherman has
been in Savarnah be has expressed hit determination
to let loose his soldiers as eoon aa they get into
South Carolina, declaring that he neither conld nor
would restrain them. This diaboliaal purpose ac-
cords with the expressions of intense hate of that
State always indulged in at the North. And should
Sherman iavade that State, as doubtless be will, the
world may look for a system of cruel and brutal ont-
ragts in comp»ri80n with which those of the past
four years will appear merciful and kind. We take
it for granted that Sooth Carolina understands all
this and will nerve herself accordingly. Her woman
and children and old men livinf along his ronte will
do well to floe for their livos and their honor.

Robbins, Esq. who has for soae months past bees
Private Secretary to Gov. Vance, has become the
Editor of the Conservative. He closos his salutatory
addret^s to its readers with the following avowal of
soand doctrine:—
“In regard to the terrible war In which we are now
"ugaged, the Conservative will espouse and advocate
any practicable and constitutional plan which presents
a fair prospect of producjjig a cessation of arms by re
storing to ua an hanurabie peace, and at the same time
it will oppose any impracticable propositions, which
may be in conflict with the constitution and the fwda-
mental principles of onr government, tending, as such
prt'ipositiocs generally do, to encoarage the public enemy,
and distrac*, divide and weaken ourselves; and'in all re-
pects we shall en^eavor so far si a candid and trulhful
statement of facts ard the reasonable inferences to be
drawn therefrom, can be pleasant, in times like these, to
make l)ie Baily and Weekly visits of the Conservative
bot'i agreeable and profitable.”
A Voio* raoji thb Aaxr.—A letter in the Ra
leigh Oonsarvative from Lane’s Brigade in Lee’s
Army thus rebukes the spirit of the croakers at
home, which, as we have abundant evidence, has not
affected the soldiers, who bear the heat and burden
ot the day, and braYe the dangers from which the
croakers take care to screen themselves;
What are the signs of the times? Are the peo
ple at home in dear old North Caroliaa depressed on
account of the lato disaster to our arms? Da they
think the clouds are thickening? Why, we have seen
gloomier hours than these. Immediately after the
retreat from Gettysburg the tiaee were darker than
they are now. Then, Lee’s great army bad suffered
a reverse, but no^it is as defiant and as well organ-
iz‘»d aa it waa before Richmond lu ’62. Bai some
croaker may say, “why, Hood is badly whipped.”
That may be so and so ia the man who utter* it.
'^ell, we lost Vicssburg w'th in entire army, and
that, with th‘» Gettysburg fignt, were by far greater
blows t>5 US than this Hood has received; and yet we
snrvired both and were better aft«rwards than be
fore. We all regret General Hood’s defeat, but it
should nerve our i^ople to still greater efforts, if
we lose our cause it will be because our people so
will it. It is now a question of pluck and endurance.
Do you not renaemoer with waat contempt “the yao-
kee” waa held by oar people befjre the war? Is there
a man anywhere in these Cjnfederate States who
wanld be willing to saccumb to tb’3 despised crea
ture? Possibly tf»ere are soma, but surely thi man
hood of these States would sourn the idea. To a^>ate
our zeal now id to oe governed forever and forever by
genuine yankees. The people should ponder well.”
A CoMPLiMgii’T TO Fi.TiwTBVii,LS A distant cor
respondent, in the m.dst of other things very ele
gantly expressed and greatly appreciated, pays tke
following tribute to the lit»erality of tho citiaens of
Fayetteville:
“It has been animating all through this war ntere’y to
read the liats of Fayetteville don*tions. Certainly no
cammaaity ba» done more, or more nobly. If one good
deed i»hines far in a nu^*>ty world, than F.iyetteville
has a radian«'e tbrown%round her that will illumine h?r
name through maiy coming years. I say ag:»in, that hrr
>‘X4mple, aa it Bhine.9 in the columaa of the Fayetteville
Observer fjr the past four years, has cheered other* aud
stimulated humble efforts to do likewise ia distaat cor
ners.”
BsAsr Bctlsb.—Tais worthy hai-added to his
ill reputation by the part he acted, or perhaps failed
to act, in the late expedition against Wilmington.
A correspondent of the New York World says:
‘Certain it is, that in the fleet he ie universally blam
ed, in vehement and emphatic terms, for continual delave
when the expedition wa^j preparing, and for lack of en
terprise w'uea tbe action was in pr.^esa. Aa an inJica

well known, Siid; “Refjrced hi ’i^elf in »t'ne expedition,
and I believe he came down with the deliberate purpose
of defeating tne enterprise. He wa» dstdrmined to have
his own way, and, seeing that he oonll not, was bent on
thwarting everything.”

OFFICIAL REPORT QBH. LKVKMTHORPl
Hbad Qbs.. Kinston. N. 0., D»e. 38,1864.
Major J C. McRae, A. A. O , (t^: Maior:—
I have the honor to report to yoa that ksvinf Isarn-
ed from Col. ArmstOM of an expedition ia force
made by the enemy on tko Roanoke river, I rein-
forcod Us right, at Hamilton, with tho 68th N. C.,
and ordered ('ol. Andorson’s Re^t of jBnior Re
serves from Weldon. I procoeded at tko saae tiaie
with Col. Wkitford’s Re^t, tko 67th N. O., from
Kinston, aad rsaehod Haciihoii on the 18th inst.
I foand the onomy advancing slowly np the river
in run-boats a»d luinchos, and removing tho torpe
does as they adTanced. Th«re is good reason to
believe tkot ihreo boats wero snnk is the advance.
I am warranted in saying that two wore nndoBbted-
ly destroyed.
It beconres evident that the o>*ject of tke snemy
was to secure landing wi bin CoBoho creek, and
I determined tkat Poplar Point Wi^nld be the plane
selected; I therefore tont some infaatry to attack
the launch«e' as they cam^ np the river. Tbey sac
ceed*d in firing a volley froBi ambush, and appa
rently killed aad wonadod tao entire erow of one
launch. Two otbsr launches snrrendored to the at
tacking party, bat the company of the 67th sngaged
waa drives freiB the pnaos by Tolleys of grape from
the guoboata. Capt. Cogdell, of the 67th, deserves
credit fcr the punishment inflicted on the onoaiy in
this *ttack. As the enemy still advanced I ordered
Col. Broad foot to proceed to Poplar Poiat with
body of infootry and dispute the landing. 1 also
ordered Col. Whitford, with his regiment, to the
landing, and a secUoa of Parrott, guns, froBS Capt.
Dixon’s battery. The enemy oaaio np on tJte 20tb,
and made an effort to land. The skiraiahers wore
easily driven to their boats. A brisk eofagemsnt
then took place with the gunboats. We attacked
them with infantry aad artillery; and forced thorn to
withdraw a ««'ile, after three hoars hard flghtiag.
On the 22d another atteaipt was siade to land,
•hioh was repulsed.
The enemy waa driven off the evening of the 23d. Coi.
Whitford dashed at the boata wiik his refftssent, and
tough I them for four miles witk great determiaatien.
The conduct of this brave and excelleat ofOoer is worthy
of the highf it ooameadatieu, and 1 deem it no BK>re than
justice in brfngiag it to the aotlee of siy saperiors I re
gret to state that Col. Whitferd was severely woanded.
Ia the former advaaee of the eaemy, wbieb oeisurred im-
mediately suboMaent to the att«ok oa Belfleld, mach
credit is due to Uapts Brown and Pitt, the former of the
6th N. C. eavalry, the latter eoaamoding aa onattached
company, for the gallaatry aad suaceas with which they
^ought and detained the eneay at every possible point
until reinforctments camo np. Capt. Dlxon’a battery io
the Ut“ advance, also did gooA service, and mere par-
Ucu’arly the seotloa eannunded by Lieat. Jenee, which
first engared the enemy. A sunken boat, whose sp»rs I

A fairs in Folk County.—Laat Tharsday waa a
day of intense excitement ia Columbus Village, N.
C., a day long to bo remembered and one which has
caused many famiUes to feel the pangs of deep dis
tress, grief aad sorrow.
The bloody affair began about nooa, in this way:
Lt. Tom Lane, in command of soma citiBans and
soldiers for the purpose of putting down some acts
of outlawry which had 'been perpetrated npoa the
citiaans of Polk and adjoining eonnties, proceeded
to the house of Pate Hoater, (in the Tillage) and no
tified him that he was then a prlsoocr, alio notifying
ilunter’s two sons, Charles and Sara, that they were
likewise prisoners. The senior Hunter (who was in
his shirt sleeves) requested to be allowed to go into
the house for his coat, which was granted by Laae.
The three Hunters walked into the hoase. and io a
few moments appeared at the door, each heaTily
armed, the senior leading the way, brandishing two
large bowie knives; the sons with Colt’s army pistols
m band. Aa soon as they cleared the enclosBre,
Pate Hunter remarked to Dr. Columbus Mills, “I
will kill you, you d—d old rascal,” making at the
ame time rapid strides towards the Doctor, and call
ing upon hi 4 sons to fire. Lane, to saTe the Doctor,
coring to nis assistance, and exploded a cap of his
pistol at Hauter's bead. At this time Lane and the
young Hunters began to fire their pistols ia deadly
earnest. The other party firing withost stint upon
Pate Hunter, killing him instAutly; the poaitioa ot
Lane and the younger Hunters iMing snch that to
shoot would be endangering the life of Lane. The
boys had it all to tnesaselves. By this time. Lane
gave Charles Hunter a severe shot, who fell to the
ground, the other brother firing at Lane with telling
•'ffact. Lane pow f‘jll to the g'*ound, pierced by
three balls, but yet able to fire, which he did at Sam
Hunter, who was making off, striking him in the el-
oow j ^int Sa’n Hunter now drops his pistol and
uakes off, the guard firing several shots bat doing
no damage. Sam makes a temporary escape.
The gaard soon arrested some citiaens who they
had heard from reliable autbority were accomplices
of said Hunter, and others A posse followed to the
house of Hauter, where they fonad him wounded as
aoove descrioed.
To tell what has since followed my pen almost fal
ters, but t-"> be h warning to others the truth mutii
come. The arrested party were sent off ander guard,
th3 secret of which none other can t.ell. The news
waa soon in circulation, however, that the whole par
ty of four were killed, not more than a mile from tne
village of iJoiumbus. Tne friends were anxions to
find out if such waa the case, upon a search, which
I am informed was, alas! too true.
P. S. Lane is yet alive, and some hope of his re
covery.—Henderson, N. O., Timet.
Terrible Confl tgration—About Ten JfMions of Dollart
w iTtk of Property D:sirot/e1—0a Saturday morning last,
a moet destructive fire occntred ia this town at the depots
ol the N. 0. A 0. k 3. C. Railroada, About 1^ o’cl^k
fire broke oat in a smiU hailiing a few yards from the
iarj^e Passenger Shed, and near toe Qoartermaster's
buildings. The wind blowing very heavy at the time.
It epread with great rapidity, and in a few miautes the
Shed and the two Qa«rtermapter Ware-honsss were in
flamas From these it caught to tbs building formerly
u^ed M a ticket office by the C. A S. C. R. R., thence to
i,he piles of otton on the platforms around the main
Depot buildings, and then to the N. 0. Depot. The
\V^»r.;honse.s, ^heds, and one half of the N. C. Depot
bui.ding were consum-^d, destroying vast quantities of
corn, fljur, c3tton, sugar, bo.
The loss to the Confederate Gkivemment is severe.
.Ve barn thst there were stored under the shed and in'
he warehouses over 28.0vK) sacks corn and oats, 1900
jacks fljnr, 16 > hogsheads sugar, besides blankets, sol
Ji»rs' clothing, leather, and various other articles. One
os the warehouses was «boat 400 feet long, the other 20?)
feet; bf)th filled with Govemmeot stores. A few hogs
heads of tho sngar were saved before the fire reached it
and some h iS since been gathared ap from beneath the*
Suining coi-n. Ab.:)ut 3 KX) tiacks of com were taken
frem the ruins on Saturday in a damaged condition be
sides a small qaantity of cloth, flannel, ko Mai Sobols
the Qaartermaster, lost a portioi of his books and pa
pers. The iron sufe belonging to the office romainod in
the burning building, and we learn that the money Ae
which was in it, i« not damaged. Tne loss to the Govl
-rnm'»nt ia estimated at from five to six miiliona dol
lars, at least.
Around the Depot buildings about 200 bales Cotton
were burnt The portion of the N. 0. Depot wbidi was
consumed was used by the C. * S C. Railroad as a store
room, in which were laige quantities of freight beloanoir
to individuals, all of which was totally destroyed. Nert
to the Government, the C. dt 3. O. Railroad ia the heavi
est loser—the loss, probably, amounting to one n- two
millions. The loss of cotton is eostained mostly by indi
viduals and the ’olutnbia A Hamburg Railroad Co. The
total loss by this fire is thought to be over ton miiliona
of dollars. Had it not been for the rain which f^ in ihe
^ly part of the night and for a day or two irrvions
the destraqHon ol property would have been much
greater.
The fire is suppossd to have originated from a de&c-

A POLTTIOAL PABBV>T.
A Pag* •/ Wom^e from Bickmu* AU tke Tern' Xommi.
It was on ‘‘the shilling side of Broadway'* ^
do not know the origin of thia deaicnation) on
one. of those hot momin|pi in spring, when the
aotropoiitan disposition to ioe oream Impolled me
into a eonteotioner’a shop. The baok parlor Of
a former aristocratic dwelling was the refresh
ment room. Its Isrge windows looked towards
tho -last, and the room was flooded with sunshioo
saoh as tho Londoner is nsTer blesaed nor blind-
with—for there are two sides eTon to tho sub-
jeot of sanshic.e. In the warm heart of the light
there was a brilliant green parrot, fastoned by a
silver chain to a peroh, where she soemod to rest
frofi pure choice. Sh* was singing as I nersr
heard a parrot sing—with human natnrahisiB and
rolieking joyousness The song, an anciont faTtr-
ite with a certain cla4 id the land of its birth,
had mot iavor with all classes in tha land of its
sdopfion:
O, it s Biy delight ta a skiay Bight, ^
She sung it all, without onoe stopping or break
ing down
The wiiter, who wiped the small fable where
I bad stated mjself, aad handed »• tha daily
paper fastened in a maohine leet it shoald ran
away, remarked: “Twenty year old if sho*s a
day!” ' ,
I my order, and then listeaed to tho song
until it was finished, as a respeotfal avdienoe
should, not interrupting to appland. Then I said.
“Bravo, Polly!” .
The j^rrot turned her head, and looking at me
sharply, said Tapidly, “What** yimr BaUac? Wbafc
do you wanfF Can you whistlo?'^
“What’s youi name?'* I replied in Yankee fash
ion answering one quention, or three, with another
“Pretty Poll, pretty Poll, poor Poll! Polly wants
a cra*ker Polly Brown, Polly Brown, Capt. John
Brown’s bird, ship Midas. Bought of a nitrgar
king on the Gold Coast for a pair of red breeobet
and a roasting pig. Brough*; to Philadelphia in
eighteen hundred and forty Don’t you know
the deTil’s deadf Choked to death with a Qoa
ker’s head. Capt. Brown’s bird. Capt. Brown’s
a Whig; wars a clean shirt.” '
This Bont tha parrot’s assoeiationa to sea, and
she prooeoded to heaTe anchor with a will, ehaaf-
ing merrily to sail or songs till an imaginory
storm came on. Then she gave orders through
a speaking trdmpet, proring that she had been
forgotten and left on the deok in a squaU, and
that she had not been so much frightened as to
iutcrrupt the progress of her^ education. Whoa
the storm was over, she took to the pump, and
sung with a tenderness and fair weather aftar
a storm sweetness:
R ‘2k aad roll mo e*ejr, oue mere day,
0.' ere day, my darliag,
f'ne n ore day;
O T c and roll no over.
On t r * day.
The p rr It -; usual sharp barking iahamanity
of voioe was ,i it present in this specimen. She
spoke and like a musio loving negro of in«
telligenoe aou E iropean training. Doubtless her
first lessons hai been given by suoh a master. I
am sorry to be obliged to reoord, that presently
Capt. Brown’s bird began a running fire of very
aaughty words. As the yankeos say, “it wonld
not be pretty” to repeat this portion of the bird’s
pertormaooc Like a good artist, she did not
allow her audience to tire firom the length of any
part of bor eotertainmeni. She oame by sudden
transition to the rehearsal of political eontosts.
She eleotsd Geu. Harrison to tlie Presideney of
the United Scatea with great eelat, singing:
Qa»o you heard the ;re*t eomaiatloB,
Motion, aotioa.
The cooBtry througk f
III is the ball a roKinK on.
For Tippecanoe •& ! 1>ler too.
And wih tkea we’il beat littlo Taa.
YjtnJVim. is a cued ap nan.
The English reader may need to bo informed
that Gen. Harrison, then candidate for the Presi
deney of the United States, had onoe fought with
some Indians at a place called Tippecanoe. A
hero w»s wanted as a. candidate for the Presi
dency. The “Hero ot Tippecanoe” was selected,
icd duly nicknamed “Old ' ip,*’ and was sung
iato office “Tjler, too,” became Vice President.
“Little Van, Van,” who waa “a tised up man,”
'vas President Van ISoren, at the time of this
lection, io the fourth year of his reign over the
great Republio. The songs in this campaign,
which were all faithfully remembered by the
parrot, had a grc.^t ^amily resemblance, and were
aot too reverent to be inconsistent with universal
uffrage and the “sovereigaty of the people.”
One of them, sung to the tune of “O, SusannB| ’
alluded to the residence of Mr. Van Buren, and
the product of his kitchen garden, in the culture
of which he was supposed to have much satisfiac-
cion:
I had a dream the ol>>er night,
Whea everything waa still,
I dreaoi’t I saw old Kiaderkook
A oomm’ down tie hiil;
A o&bbege sium'? was >n his mcBth
A tear i^as in his rye,
8eys he. we ar« beaten North and Sratk,
But J ihsBy don’t jon orr
Johony was President Van Buren’s only son,
and a celebrated Democratic “stump orator.” The
family residence was at Kinderhook .
The next “Presidential campaign” rehearsed
by the bird waa that in which Herry Clay failed
to be elected Tho refi^n of one of the songs
was sung to the tune of “Old Dan Tacker;”
Gel out of the w>y, yon’re aii unlnoy,
Cl:«.«- the traok for old Kentaekyl
Millions of mm. North, South, East and West,
dad sung the same doggerel to the same negro
Qiosio, with the same host ot torchlight prooes-
sicus and tar barrel bonfires, that the panot was
now sincnng in the s^fc sunshine of early spring,
in the metropolis of the great R&publtc.
Captain Brown’s bird waa a living history of
much that had not found record eisewhere.
When at last she ceased to sing, I turned to tbe
table, to find a melted ice cream and iocd sherry
cobbler awaiting my leisure. I paid proper atten
tion to the I'^gitimatA fluid, and tras paying my
score, when a young girl, as pretty as young A
merican girls often are, brushed past me, and
pasK her f;«ded and attenuated mother, who sat at
the receipt of cash, evidently ^ing to school; tor
she had a book and a porcelun slate in her hand.
The parrot called ou^ briskly, “Maggie, havA yoa
got your geography?” She replied, “Yes,
have,” ahd went her way. The feminine cashier
assured me that the parrjt knew the meaning of
all she said, and all that was said to her. The
prcprietress believed in her rational powers
fully as the negroes believe in those of the mon
key. “I only wirii,” said she, “that she would
not say so many things that are not pretty.”
Got —The word get is often used superfluously
*and incorrectly in familiar cxprcssionM. When
in reply to my ^^Lend me a ^hilUng,” you say,
“I've got uo money,” you simply e>ay wbat you do
not mean. Omit the got, and yonr meaning is
rightly conveyed “I’ve got a cold is not bad
English, if you mean to con»ey the idea that you
have procured or contracted a cold scmewherej
but if y cu merely wish to say, as you probably do,
tl sit jou are sutfe’ins' under a cold, “I nave
cold” 13 the proper t-xprefsion. ‘‘She has g t
ia*r eompiext'iu ” Here got ia an iattrl^’psr, for
you do not mean to s^y that she has procured a
fair complexion, bnt simply that ihe baa one.
“I’ve got to go to town to-morrow.” H«re got is
