Washington, Nov. 15. In the speech which Guiteau had prepared for delivery in court to-day, he says he is charged with murdering one James A. Garfield. Nothing can be more absurd, because General Garfield was a good man but a weak politician. Being Presideu he was in a situation to do vast harm to the Repub 11c and no was doing it by au unwiso use of patronage, and the Lord and himself took the responsibility ofiemoving him ; that his duty to the Lord and to the American people overcame Lis personal feelings towards Gen. Garfield, and he sought to remove him. Not being a marks man, Gen. Garfield was not fatally shot, but incompetent physicians finished the work and they, not himself, are responsi ble for his death. He then speaks of the breach in the Republican party "and his resolve to remove the President and claims that the Deity ordered him to fire the shot. He refers to his work on the ology, insanity in his family, his married life and his life in prison, and appeal; to those whom he says he has put in posi tion And to the seheral public to send lim Money for his defense. Curious Facts About Fishes. Much interest is uow being taken by scientists in regard to the habits, instincts and emotions of fishes. Naturalists have generally accepted iCnvier's view, that the existence of fishes is a silent, emo- tioaless aud joyless one; but recent ob servations tend to show that many fishes emit vocal sounds, and that they are sus ceptible of special emotions, particularly such as regard for their young, attach ment among the sexes and fpr locality. Among monogamous fishes there is often seea decided evrdecceof watchfulness over thejr young, in jwhich the males not infrequently act an important part.! Among nest-building fishes the males often prepare the nest. lmnnr nm that do not build the: nest the egga. are carried about in the eheek hollows of the male. Cases have been noticed where male fishes have remained in, the same spot in tho river from which the female had beentaken. A aso is noted where, after a pair had been separated, both ap peared miserable and seemed nigh unto death, but pn bsing united again both be came happy. In fish battles it is some times noticed that thje conqueror assumes billiaat lines, whil the defeated one sneaks off with faded colors, the change evidently being brought abont bv emo- tienal feelingsr There are certain classes of fish that are capable of a kind of or ganization for acting in concert for com mon defence or eo attack a common .ene my. The remarkable success which has of late attended the breeding of fish has shown that as a matter of economy n acre of good water is worth more to a farmer-than the sarnie area of the ht. arable land. This subject, in all it bear ings, is one that deset-ves even more at tention than it has hitherto received. ?

A. DATIS,- - The life of every man has in it a lesson affording .either .a medet for imitation, a beacon of warning, or an incentive to in dustryr fidelity and rehnon. There have been but few Ures spent in Western North Carolina, that centain more useful lessons than the life of the subject of this sketch and we feel that it is due 1,0 our people to point out the main facts of Jlis hlstorv and tne leading features of h 13 character. VOLPHis Alston jjATis was uorn in Cumberland county, N. Ct in July, 1802. His rather was a native of Halifax county, V ... ft - . . v. . . . a., ana was a soldier in tne devolution and took part in the battle of Kin Mountain. His mother's maiden name was Ann Stevenaoa, a daughter of oae of the Scotch emigrants who "caine to the Cape J? ear snort ly alter tae battle of Uulloden Uoth of the parents of Ik A. Davis were pi ous and deyout people, and his father was Lsng a iiuiijBg .tder of the Presbyterian courcu. rvnea nis lamer aiea in leio, tne son was chosen as clerk in the Fayetteville ynpfih, of be liank of the United States. IIis advantages of education were limited, but he enjoyed a period ef instruction in the Fayetteville Male Academy under Rev, James L. Turner, and Rev. Colin Alclver. lie made good use of his time, as we may in fcr from the excellence of his style as seen in his letters, and papers drawn up for bus iness purposes. Alter serving seven Jtcars in me joans, 11 3 purchased a iarmnear Fayetteville, and spent twelve years in ag ricultural pursuits. At the p.losp pf this period, ?n 1937, with bis wife and tw chil dren, he removed te Salisbury, as cashier o the Salisbury Branch of the Bank of Cape Fear. For several years before his removal from Fayetteville; he had been a magistrate. ana a inanciai Agent or Cumberland ceunty lie was soon cnosen to the same position in Kowan. II13 ability, his accuracy, his fidelity, soon won fer him the confidence of bis fellow citizens, and there was scarcely an enterprise started in which his services were not demanded. lie was a stockholder in the Salisbury Cotton Factory; a director of the Salisbury and Tayloraville Plank itoaa company ; director m the North Car olma Railroad Company; Chairman of the bpcciat Court ; Warden of the Poor, and County Commissioner holding tbe last of fice till his death. It is owinsr. Dartlv at least, to his prudence and sagacity that the finances of Rowan have always been in a sate condition, and that she i3 to-dav free from debt.

Liaris tJhce wrote to a friend. "If I am a Christian, I owe it, under Uod. to the precept3 and example of a piou3 father, who was a lulling .cider in the Ptesbvterian Church for many years; as well as the pray ers pf a mother, whose constant practice it was to spend a season of private nraver fn- her children 1 and family every r.iulu.. If' I have in-me auv lore of countrv, I imvp ins?. ly inherited it from my father, whose life was jeoparded in the Revolution ta free his country from a foreign yoke. And as I a:n a rresbyterian, l am justly entitled to my predilections, as I am descended direct! von the maternal side from the Scottish Cove nanters." it the age of twenty vears Mr. Dvis received a member of the Presbyterian church of Fayetteville, under the care of the Rev. R, II. Morrison --then a vouu" min ister uow the venerable Dr. .Morrison, still surviving in a ripe old age. In a short time Mr, Uavis was ordained to tho Eldership in the Fayetteville church. H; there were Dr. Morrison, Dr. James E. Ham ner, Rev. Josiah Kilpatrkk. Rev. Henry A. itowiand. and Itev. John W. Douglass. Mr. Douglass died in August. 1837. and in ih same month Mr. Davis and his family start ed on their iournev to R-ilistmrv nr,i f,,. weeks after his arrival September, 1837 -he and his wjfe were received'into the com munion ot the Salisbury PpmIwUb - mj IVI KIU liyrch, then under the earn nf tho if Stephen Frontis. On the first of December. 839, be w,as elected an Elder in the Salis bury church, and served in tlm nffiM forty-two years. His earlv associates in tbe Eldership were, Thos. L. Cowan, Dr. Alex ander Long, Michael Brown, Samuel Lemly, and others. He was an active, punctual, industrious, business Elder, studying the interests of the church, seeking to "promote its peace and purity, and praying for its prosperity. In the days of his strength he was never absent from its nublip. unless under the pressure of necessity. With more business on hand than moat men h managed to finish it up, or lay it aside for uiue mai ne mignt attend church ser vices, both for his own comfort and edifi cation, and to encourage others. Immersed in business, he did not set business before eligion, and yet he did not find that mak ing provision for the soul hindered him rom making provision for the comfort of lmseu and family. Seeking first the Tri. dom of God and hisricrhteousnesa th T.ni was pleased to fulfill his promises nml hi graciously added to bis servant all other things necessary for t)5 comfort and useful ness. ' Mr. Davis often reuvesented hi rhnrr-.h in the Presbytery, the Synod, and the Gen eral Assembly. In these bodi ed to the business, thought for himself, and oiten took part in shaoins- the church, on committees and in public de bate. Fearing it would be the last time, his brethren elected him to church in the late.Syuod, in Salisbury, but nirougii ieeuieness, he was compelled uciwiic lUUb uuiy on his alternate uui on DaDDath at the COmmnninn with eeble steps and bowed form, he took hi. accustomed place in the distribution of the elements, at the Lord's Supper. Many years ago he was made Clerk and Treasurer of the Session. A a tiad the manacemeut of the funds nf church, and supervision of the property connected with it. These duties h re formed faithfully to the last. More than thirty years ago he was elected a Trustee f Davidson College, aud through all the years since, he has given bis time, his influ ence and his means to that Institution. A ew years Mgo he declared that since his nn- wintment.as Trustee he had not naoourl day without praying for the College.

Two of his sons, and one grandson, are faithful ministers in the Presbyterian church, an ff one 'son a ruling elder of the church. All, but one, of the survivors were permitted! to stand around his dying led and receive the blessing of their father. Upon thcjieads of two of his sons, like Ja cob upon fcphraim and Manasseh, he laid his dying hands and gave them his blessing, not forgetting the rest in that solemn, act. The abSenjt one, Rev. JohnW. Davis, the diligent aind faithful Missionary, in 800 Chow, China, was not forgotten, but all hearts went out tenderly in prayer for him. Few men have been so diligent, so faith ful, and so rich in tbe blessings of a cove nant fceephig God. Often indeed lie passed through dbep waters, but they did not over flow, and ihrongh the fire, but he was not burned. la his case was verified the in spired promise, "Them that honor me, I will bono?." He declared that God waa giving qini sustaining grace, and expressed the belief ibat God would give him dying grace in Hje closing hour. Among his last utterances were, "My precious Savior." He died in peace on Dec. 14tb. 1881. as?ed 79 years and I six months. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." One pf ie leading traits of Mr. Davis's life was decision of character. He thought patiently, reasoned accurately, and decided positively.) To his mind his convictions appeared as certainties, and he had the courage and conscientiousness to follow p apse convictions to the end. With fuller light be sometimes changed his opinions.
