Biographical Sketch of Colonel Withers. Colonel Robert E. Wither?,, the Virginia gentleman who heeii thus honored by the representatives of. the Old Dominion in the Getaeral Assembly, was born in Osunpbell county, Vjv.. iu 1821. He graduated at the University of Vifgini, and be came ft practitioner of medicine, to which he devoted himself exclusive ly for nineteen years. He resided first in Campbell and then in Dan ville, going to the latter place in 18 53, and there remained until the late civil war. Colonel Withers entered the war at its beginning, and in April, 1861,. came to this city in command of a battalion. Hare he was nined by Governor LetcWs to the command of the Eighteenth Virginia regiment. He participated in the battles of First M amuses, Seven Pines, and (Jaine's-Mill. In the hint-named he fell dreadfully wounded while lead ing his regiment in the final - charge, in which the enemy was routed. He received wounds through the right lung, the pelvis, and arm. together w,kha. wound iu the scalp- 8 fear &irV indeed, was he wounded that his recovery was considered almost hopeless. He, however, so fur re recovered as to feel that he coujd re turn, to the field. Several times he . ..... 1 a . . i .......I H LLtflll IILKU LU ItPM IIH 111.", I-l M II II I !1 IIU in the" active service, but was so much disabled that each trial was found to be in vain. Colonel With ers' indeed, has not yet been entire ly restored from the eii'eets of h s fearful wounds. He was before the close of the war assigned to the prison post at D.m villev and held it until he surrendered to General Wright on the 22d of April. 18t5. When. thfi war ended he was too much of a cripple for the country practice of medicine, and seeking some pursuit better adapted to the physical condition, he became edit or, first of the Linehbmg News, and afterwards of the Richmond Enqui rer. The Colonel showed readiness and facility as a writer, and wrote with. vigor and force, and we can say that for this honorable,, fair, and manly conduct as an: editor he was an ornament of the profession. In the fpr'mg oflStf3.be was nom inated for the omce of Governor, and canvassed the Sjate against the Rad ical party and the then pending Un derwood Constitution. He so a roused, public opinion against the Constitution that the military au thority (General Can by.), foaiatig, it rejection, postponed the vote upon it. Before the campaign was over the ' Liberal movement," as it was then called, was set on foot. It contem plated a union of Liberal Republi cans and Democrats, and Colonel Withers being rather ultra, it was tihought, for that time, the State Uaiug; still out of the Union he yielded to the wishes of many friends and withdrew. Governor " Walker was then nominated upon thefi-shmn ticket, and the grand triumph of that ticket followed, whjc'n. is fa miliar to all the readers otue Dis Hitch. For Colonel With ire rs's magnanimity at that time it has been generally thought that he (Should have been honored with some prominent position, and hi friends thought it a good opportuni ty, and nominated him as Lieutenant-Governor in August last. Gen. Kemper was nominated over him by the Conservative Convention, and all parties combined to bestow upon him the second place, which he ac cepted under a sense of duty, in spite of his just pride and self-ros-pect. In every relation in life Colonel Withers has proved his loyalty, val ur, truth, and, virtue; and as Senator from this Commonwealth will howor the office he-has be$n placed, in. . Gen. Gordon's Speech on the Sal ary Bill. Washington,'. Jan. 12. The speech f General Gonlo.i. of Georgia, in the Senate to day on the 'salary' question was listened to with great attention, especially that por tion of it which partook of the na ture of a personal explanation, and which referred to the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox. Mr. GoRkvn made it because, he said, he had been charged with "being influ enced by personal prejudice against the Administration. He said he,was one of those who held a command in the Confe iera te army when it surreuderd to General Grant at Appoiwattox, and until that time he had never known what grief was. The negotiations occupied four days and four nights, and dur ing all that time rtot one word of exultation escaped the lips of the Federal commanders. In fact, they evaded all conversation relative to battles in which the Union arms had been successful, and spoke onlv of those engagements in which they bad been defeated. It sank deep nto his heart, and he mentioned the fact to'prove that he was not person ally hostile to President Grant. The Texas Imbroglio. -Austin, Jan. 14.

The editor of the Port Ro)-al Com mercial, a Republican paper, but one apparently as sincerely opposed to the frauds anaextravsigances f the State government fs the Conserva tive sheets are,' ha? written to a num ber of treasurers of wealthy 'Northern States, to ascertain the expenditures for public printing lat year, with a view of comparing them with urs. He has , received replies , from the States of .Iowa, Massachusetts, Penn sylvania, Ohi and Maryland. The sum total of the cost of public print ing in the five States was $385,135. 95. The total amount appropriated by South Carolina was $450,000,Go, yr nearly $79,000 more than the five wealth States combined. In Iowa the printing cost $121,068. including the publication of the laws in all the papers if the State, which expense, tbe Tfrtwsurer says, will now be avoided by abolishing the cnst'im. In Massachusetts the sum paid was $8'J,70tf.'i0, including some ex traordinary work amounting to about $20,)00. In Pennsylvania the amount paid was $73.37774. In Ohio .$02,923.83. In -Maryland, the only Democrat ic State heard from, the cost ivas on ly $38,000. The aggregate population of these five States is between nine and ten millions, or more than twelve times greater than that of Souih Carolina, and the aggregate assessed value of their property more than thirty times that of this State. These are facts and figures which should make our corrupt rulers p..u-e, and impel our taxpayers to take speedy steps for the rescue of the State ere we be entirely undone. ? News and Courier. COL. PIATT'S ESCAPE. The President's Son and Brother in law Calling at his Home Armed with Heavy Sticks An Assault Contem plated. Washington, Jan The state ment telegraphed from here last night iu regard to a card published iu yesterday's Capital was incorrect. I learn from General Banning, who is stopping at Col. Piatt's hoime, that the persons who called there ana asked Jr Col.' Piatt were Jim Casey and Lieut.-Col. Fred Grant. As Col. Piatt was absent Gen. Ban ining, on being told, that the men re fused to give their names, went to the door, whereupon the two took their departure. The way the as sault was planned showed that se rious injury was intended Col. Piatt. Ulhen the servant went to answer i he beil he found young Grant at the door accompanied by another large man, both being armed with heavy sticks. They asked if Col. Pi att was in, and the servant replied that he would see, and asked what iirtines. Fred Grant said that did not matter. The servant went down stairs to the Colonel's library, and not finding the Colonel, in to'.dGen. oannmg mat there were two men at the trout door who wanted to see Col Piatt and refused to give 'their names. "Who are they ?" asked the Gen eral. 'I think one is young Mr. Grant," replied, the servant. General Banning hurried up stairs the Colonel's library is in the basement and on reaching the hall he was met by Casey and rred. Grant,, who had entered the house and placed themselves in a position to knock the Colonel on the bead. As soon as he appeared, finding the wrong man in, they took a hurried leave. What makes this piecte of mlffcinisin all tike- worse is the fact that Mrs. Piatt is in feeble health and any excitement would probably prove fatal. Col Piatt spends most of his time at his offce. He passes the White Howse twice a day, and it was not necessary to go like as- assins to his house if the two brave champions of the Adminis tration wished to attack him. Gen. Banning savs if the President is en titled to two assassins he is anxious to know how many a Congressman is allowed. The Pen and the moid. CAROLINA MILITARY INSTITUTE CHARLOTTE, N.
