" The temner of the remarks mada
by our fotemiKjrary is a fair reflection
oi the temper of thb South, and no
Stale among tho members of the late
Con fed. racy has a better right to
speak on this subject than Carolina.
She contribnt. d to the ntruggle for
Southern Independence as many
troops, in proportion to jopulation,
asunv oilier member of the Southern
Confederation. It is claimed, in
deed, that h gave more. Her troops
were in every irreat battle-field from
Bethel to Rentoiigville from first to
last the graves of her sons are in
every Stale, and her contributions in
blood and valor to the "Lost Cause"
are unsurpassed. With this record
in our war letween the States, this
action of Noiti Carolina, through
the eilizen-soldiers of her State capi
tal, becomes a matter not only of his
toric dignity, but of national impor
tance, audit is in this latter aspect
that we present it to the people of the
wbolec j'inrry :is worthy their sym
pathetic consideration."

The '.eorsia Centennial C mmission
ers. A short time ago we published a
letter written by Gov. Smith, of Geor
gia, to Secretary Fish, in reference to
the supposed requirement that the
Centennial Commissioners should
take the Iron Clad Oath. In publish
ing the letter, we stated that Secre
tary Fish, perceiving the error into
which Gov. Smith had been led,
wrote him, correcting the same. As
a number of our readers have ex
pressed their desire to read the letter
of the Secretary, we give it as fol
lows :

AVashingtqn
March
To His Excellency James K. Smith,
Governor of Georgia Sir: I have
the honor to ackuowlenge the re
ceipt of your Excellency's letterof the
18th of March, informing me that, in
consequence of a request contained in
my letter of the 8th, transmitting the
commission and oath of allegiance of
George Hillyer, Esq., as a Commis
sioner to represent tiie State of Geor
gia at the Centennial anniversary of
American Independence, that Mr.
Hillyer would sign and return the
oath you return the commission
and ask to be allowed to withdraw
the nomination of Mr. Hillyer.
As vour Excellency is pleased to
state that you know of no provision
of law requiring an oath of allegi
ance, I take the liberty of iuforming
you that on the 2d of July, 1862, it
was enacieu uy uougress inai evei
person appointed to an office of honor
or profit uuder the Government of
the United States should take and
subscribe an oath similar in form to
the one which accompanied my let
ter. But when the war had ceased,
Congress, instead of repealing the
act, enacted, by another statute, that
prisons who had participated in the
late rebellion, and from whom all
political disabilities arisiug therefrom
had beeu removed" should, if ap
pointed to office, instead of the oath
prescribed by the act of 18o2, take
and subscribe the following oath be
fore entering upon the duties of their
olfiee :
'I. A. B., do solemnly swear, or
afhini, that Iwill supjiortand defend
the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign or do
mestic ; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I
take this obligation freely and with
out mental reservation or purpose of
evasion, aud that I will well and
fathfully discharge the duties of the
office on which I am about to enter
so help me God."
It is m v duty to see that all per
sons accepting the President's com
mission from this department, sub
scribe to one or the other of these
nibs This dutv 1 am necessarily
compelled to perform through sub-
ordinate, anu;it so nappeneu, unt iy

wrong form of oath was enclosed.
With this explanation of what I
l.o. thmrti! have become the sub-
,.t . misannrehension on the

further expression of your wish res

Snooting Affair in Virginia.
A letter from New Market, A'a.,
under date of 27th instant, says that
Greenwood Morris was shot at Hon
eyvilie, in Page county, a few days
o bv E. Derrough, under the fol
lowing circumstances: Derrough has
been for some time suspecting that
an improper intimacy was existing
between Morris aud his wife. To
satisfv himseif he has beeu on the
alert for some time past. The day
of the shooting lie and his wife s
brother secreted themselves in some
bushes near his house, and soon
their watch was rewarded by the ap
pearance of Morris, who, by his ac
tions, evidently was expecting to
meet some one clandestinely. Mr.
Deircugh, at sight or him, became
very much exasperated; and, con
trafv to the protests of his brother-in-law,
opened fire upon him with a
shot-gun, wtucn was loaueu who
three buck-snot ana tnree oaus. xoc
ttered the victim's left arm
very badly, and one of the balls pas
sed through his bowels. Morru at
tempted to escape, when Derrough
ran after mm, snooting iuur uuibb oh
him with a revolver. It is thought
that Morris, who is a young man re
spectably connected, cannot recover.
His arm nas oeeu Huipuiawu.
w.i.crh is vet at lame, although the
authorities are using every effort to
capture him.
Tn thP vear 1825 the people of a
county parish in Virginia wrote to Dr.
Rice, who was then at the head of a
theological seminary, ior a uiuhbic..
They wanted a man of first-rate
talents, lor tne congregation .u
building up. They wanted an edu
cated man, for some of their young
people had literary tastes. mey
wanted a man willing to visit largely
which the former minister had neg
lected to do. He must also ue a gen-,
tleman.aud lastlv he must not ex
pect more than $400 dollars a year,
though if the incumbent just suited
the peoplej they might possibly raise
it to S450. Tne uocior answeicu im
mediately, telling them they had bet
ter make out a call for old Dr.
Dwight in heaven, for ne wia not
know any one in this world who
would answer their description, but
as Dr. Dwight hap lived several years
on spiiitual food, he might not need
so much for the body, and possibly

Experiments in Fish Hatch
ing The Connecticut lish commis
sioners report that the introduction
of black bass in Connecticut waters
has been successful, and that over
1 3.39,000 young salmon have been
placed In Connecticut river during
tiio vr Their experiments in
hatching shad show .that the eggs of
the shad will not naicu iu oration
or salt water; also that such waters
are fatal to the young fry. The catch
of shad last season was unusually
large.
a wow of a ponrmand who had
oiarla himsplf ili bv feasting on fish,
said he embodied the trio of the fiery
furnace, thus shad-rack, me-sick
and abed-we-go.
"Arrah, me darllnt," cried Jamie
O'Flannigan to his loquacious sweet
heart, who had not given him an op
portunity to get in a word edgewise,
during the two nours' ride oenina

The old engine house at Harper's
Feiry, in which John Brown and
his party were stormed aud captured
is used by an undertaker as a hearse
house. The loop holes which the
insurrectionist made have been
bricked up, but the outlines can be
readily traced. The places on the
floor where one of Brown's sons died
and the other was mortally wounded
are pointed out by the villagers, al
though the blood stains that remain
ed for several years have faded out.
A cremation company is about to
be established in Zurich, in Switzer
land. The shares are to be twenty
fraucs each, and the undertaking
start with the support of 500 of the
inhabitants. A piece of land in a
cemetery has beeu given to the com
pany and upon this it. proposes to
erect a furnace, a mortuary, a chapel,
a room for urns, &c. It is estimated
that the cost will be 50,000 francs.
The statutes of the company have
been drawn up and submitted to the
Government for authoritative sanc
tion' before operations can be com
menced. The following is given as yie cos
tume of a fashionable lady in 1709,
per ye last ship from ye port of Bris
tol, England, to His Majesty's plan
tations in North America: "A black
silk petticoat, with a red and white
calico border; cherry-colored stays,
trimmed with blue and silver; a red
and dove-colored damask gown,
flowered with large trees; a yellow
Batin apron, trimmed , with white
Persian ; muslin head-cloths, with
craw-foot edging; a black silk fur
below scarf and spotted hood."
The injreiHOus French have con
trived a novel way to impress the
barbaric mind. M. de Brazza. who
has charge of the expedition to
Senegal, carries an electric battery
in his pocket communicating with
two rings on his hand and with other
apparatus scattered about his person.
AVheu he shakes hands with a savage
chief that chief will be very much
astonished, fcr an electric shot will
run unhis arm and he will see light-
ninc ulavimr about the head of his
visitor. Natural I v he will think he
is being interviewed by the devil,
and will be ready to consent to any
thing in order to get away.
Seve ral heads of m u m m ies were sh i p-
ned from Esyptito Halifax, England.
They wrere packed in separate boxe?,
and one of them irot soaked in salt
water on the vovasre. This particu
lar head when taken out was found
to have recovered its natural outlines,
the sea water having had an aston
ish in er effect. M. D. Convoy, who
was Dreseut. savs: "For a few
minutes we saw an unmistakeably
Egyptianjcountenance, with plesant
composed expression the face of a
man who lived at least three thou
sand vears aco. AVe could but con
clude that the powerful aromatic
erums which had been used ana ar
rested the decay wincn inesau water
had now rendered possible, and
which speedily set in after the head
was taken from the box and wrap
pings. I can never forget the life
likeness of the face before the swift
decav of the flesh which followed."
