JOTTINGS.
Haunter, late teller of the
Lynchburg, Va. First National
Bank, who took only $25,000
j.-ts seven years in the Brook
lyn penitentiary, while Figgatt,
attj cashier of the Bank of Lex
i!i,Lftin.Vii, who took 150, 000
and French leave, is sonievvhere
laughing in his sleeve. It makes
w the difference how much is
taken.
The hotels of New York and
Chicago are substituting white
labor for the colored heretofore
employed. The negro doesn't
pay is the reason of the failure
of such brotherly love.
The President is back at
Washington highly p leased
with North Carolina. Pity the
Old North State can't return
he compliment.
It is costing $1,000 a day to
keep peace in New Orleans, and
it cost more than that to light in
Brooklyn. ..Always let well
en nigh alone.
Thos Dixon says he will have
deaconnesses in his new church,
thereby giying the, women
a voice in its government.
Where's the free love.
HOW WENT TO WAS
crth Carolina and Secession-
These same records show that
Col. - Cowan's raiment, the Kitrn
teenth, lost sixtv-eight killed and
wounded; the Twentv-Hght, Col
Luiie s ninety-one, the" Thirt y-third,
Col. liokes. stventy-five; Col. Har
bor, s. the Thirty-seventh, who took
command alter Col. Lee was killed.
Us. Cap;. Johnson's battcrv lost
twenty killed and. wounded ami ten
horses.
At Gettysburg the losses were
frightful to the North Carolina
troops, and so on every battlefield
tney laid down their lives by the
score. J
Hut the end came at last, and
tne battered fragment came back to
the old home in their ragged jackets
and with mined fortunes, leadv to'
commence bravely anew the batths
of civil life. And what a splendid
record they have made! Look at
the Old North State," to-day, with
its constantly increasing population,
and growth in manufacturing,
mm in if, and argrieultral devel
opir.en , largely brought about by
its old Confederate soldiers, and say
it these brave lollowers of Le and
Jackson are not worthy of the
Anglo-saxon lineage and ui' ine
name of Americans.
THE END.
The dispensary law of South
Carolina seems not to stand the
tests ia the U. S. Courts. Weli,

A Kansas bank with a million
dollar capital has failed and the
cashier and teller are all riglrt.

from t wo lines of breast work?, cap
turing eight pieces of nrtillei y ami
lour hundred and seventeen prison

sion and t he nuny ravines hao
to crihn broke our line to such no
extent that we halted and re-formed.
While doing this, the enemy rallied,
re-intorced and charged repeatedly'
upon our line until nightfall, but
with no effect. The brunt ot the
