DeeemlRT 4 The Presi ' dent to-dav sail the following noiuinn- lion to die senate: David J. Brewer, of ' k'aiis.is. io be associate justice of the SI'OolinK on a Train. We learn from a gentleman who was aboard that there was a most disorderly and dangerous crowd on No. 52 mail train going west yesterday evening. They had plenty of whiskey and numerous A MinnHliup. Dr. v mi Ruck had a wheel of his car I riage badly broken yesterday afternoon in front ot I UK C itizkn office, ft is car riage was in the middle of the strict, and as Mr. Oliver English, of Madison, tried to drive oast with his wagon laden full There is one habit of speech which, more than any other, marks the souther ner, and especially the North Carolinian the almost universal use of the word "like" for "as if." as in the sentence, "It looks like it might rain." In striking contrast to this use of "like," which is reallv an error, though used by English authors, we have noticed everywhere the admirable pronunciation of the letter "n," so rarely met wiih in the North ex cept among the cultivated classes. We have been tempted to paraphrase Ad dison's lion mot and exclaim, "Why, in the Smith even the little children speak English!" when wc have heard young children, and the least as well us the best educated of the people, pronounce dlis letter with a grace and correctness that have brought the blush of shame to our Yankee cheeks. 'There is an unusual emphasis on the word "please" in asking a favor, for instance "Please hand me that book." which has to unaccustomed tars a peevish sound, seeming- to imply that the favor has alieady been asked ml reluscd, until we learn from observa tion that il is merely a habit, and that the average North Carolinian, on the contrary, is one ot the most courteous and amiable ol beings. And this calls to mind another remark of President An dre ws withrcleienec to the war, that there was a great difference between North and Smith 'Carolinians in the bitlei ihps of their feeling lowaid the North, and that while a North Carolinian was quite will ing to exchange civilities with the northern soldiers when not actually en gaged in fighting, a South Carolinian would lose no opportunity of taking aim at a Yankee head, whenever one came within range ot his musket. Perhaps the lirsl thing to impress a lad who happens to come South alone is ihe dcleicnce everywhere shown by men lo women, n is iioiieeaoie even before leaving the cars. The very con ductor looks alter the comfort of the solitary traveler as if she were his especial charge, assists her on and off the train, carries her traveling bag to her scat, and escorts her from one car to another it she w ishes to change; and in one ease, where I was obliged to change cars in the night, the conductor lelt his own train altogether, walked with me a long distance to the other train, bought my ticket, cheeked my trunks, and did not leave me until he saw me seated in the car. This seemed to me very ex traordinary, accustomed to the brnsque ness ol many of the northern conductors, but I am told that in the South it is ex pected. My astonishment was not lessened, when, the morning alter my an ival in the little town which was ray destination, 1 had occasion to visit the post-office and passed a motley group ol men lounging in chairs in front of the i building.
