The union sentimentthat prevailed in tvici apption in ihp earlier davs of the struggle was dissipated immediately at the ball of Lincoln for 75,000 men as an armiy of the invasion of their liberties the love of liberty ineradicable in most men's hearts should be made the de- l Wao I ; - .

With words of tenderest pathos the j chaplain then eulogized their dead. The first appearance of the grim destroyer was the death of Ebenezer' C. Stradley on August 31, 1861; added interest was occasioned as the speaker announced the, death of the Rev. Thomas Stradley, the father of Ebenezer, on the 2nd instant, I at tne age of 93 years On September 1 board were srood. bad or indifferent. It prices are more than the attraction on the board is worth, whether established by the management of the house, the lessees for the time being, or the manager of the attraction, why, the public will not go; and that was all mat was in volved in this case. Either the public did not think Mr. Jones worth the price asked, it matters not who fixed the price, or the purchasers of the house that night over estimated him as an attraction ; and that is all there can be in that feature. Vfe doubt whether those gentlemen who thought Mr. Jones worth paying a good price to hear and leased the house for that night will venture upon another such experiment ; but neither the mana- I gers or the lessees are, in our opinion obnoxious to criticism tor iwnai was done. It is done everywhere, with more or less success. To complain in this instance j looks like the complainants wished to hear a first-class lecture at third-rate prices. We regret Mr. Jones did not have a full house, for his lecture deserved it ; wTe are also sorry the young men lost !any money by this " strictly business" venture. 1 a yi 1 a lminister the necessary oath of ofilr e. : jimey I quote from the first page of the min-, q nunt utes : Geo. r . bcott " Minutes of a court for Macon county, ; J A. C??,1 in March, 1829, agreeable to an ac of ; the General Assembly made and pro vided for said county. Present and organizing said county, from the county of Haywood, William Deaver, Esq., who appointed Joshua Roberts to administer the oath to the following justices of the peace for said county." Then follows the names of the thirty- three persons referred to. Immediately after taking the oath of office this new county board of magistrates proceeded to organize themselves into a court by electing a chairman of their body and further proceeded to an election of all the county officers. Nathan B. Hyatt was elected clerk, and so on until every county office was duly filled. While all this may not be interesting to many of your readers, yet I rega'd it important to have North Carolina history ; as nearly correct as possible. 1 purpose , in the near future to write for the Frank-1 A.
