Dear An'GLO-Saxon : -The ex cellent manner in which vou have Kev. Dr. W. O Gorman, died ireoroduced the traces of mv nen ad your comphmentry remarks in The most nauseating note we have seen in a long time is the wail of Mr. F. H. Whitaker, who managed Mr. Hill's cam paign for Chief Justice, in Mon days Charlotte Observer. Not- withstanding his candidate was defeated by Judge Clark by more than sixty thousand majo r ity, Mr. Whitaker comes for ward a month after the election to Say that Clark's election was btolen, and that Hill would have been elected if there had been a fair count. We only refer to the matter to express our con tempt fur such a statement. A man who could have such an opinion as that ought to be con fined in an asylum, unless, in deed, it be adjudged ihat his insanity is of the incurable kiud, in which case it would be use less, as his insanity is entirely harmless. iNo man was ever given a fairer show than Mr. Hhitaker's candidate. While the friends of that condidate made the most intemperate cam paign of abuse against Judge Clark ever made in the State, the friens of Judge Clark never replied in kind. Not a binglo word of personal abuse of Mr. Hill was sent out to the public. The election " Was honestly held by honorable men repre senting both parties, under an election law which embraced every feature which the .Repub licans and Populists, by petition 1 to the Legislature, askprt to .'cornea 3 y have put in it.

Like James G. Blaine, the force of hisj personality was indelibly stamped upon the popular mind. Each of them furnished striking illustration of the fact that bestowing great office upon a man is not neces sary to making a great man in the popular estimation, for neither of them ever attained the Presidency, and each of them are estimated higher in he scale of natural ability than any President of recent years.

But possibly Rockingham, hav ing heard great Gordon, who, next to Stonewall Jackson, knew best of all Southern Generals how battles should be fought, and now knows best of all survivors how to tell about them, will have but little patience, with "war talking" from nign privates" in obscure ranks. But just tell her, prosey narration of stubborn historical facts and dry data, cannot engage my pen for long, and that it means only to write about individuals once identified with her environments,' and inci dents noted from my viewpoint, in which they were the patriotic and gallant actors. Perhaps she may not tire of such so soon.

Its rather lax discipline permitted fre quent visitations outof camp to the hospitable homes qt the clever citizemy of that vicinity; to par- .biuLw 111 umiugs, , uunces ana other social functions? whereat the bright eyes and winnfiig smiles of lovely women shed abundant beams of radiant joys. AncJ.then. those citizens were constant bringing in the camp great baskets full of good thiogs for the soldiers,nd otherwise making so much of thm as tocau3e them to feel quite as S if they were only out on some holiay occasion- However, throughoutlthe day', the old fields were resonant with the noise, ''Hep, Hep," fom the active mouths of dapperly uniformed Drill- never a thought of countersign. The Pee Dee Guards felt a deep moi tifica tion that their guns should be only sticks; for while they were . alto gether ready to charge the enemy's batteries with those ugly butcher like knives Mr. Ussery had made fgr them to carve out Yankee steaks with, entirely confideut of cutting easily away all obstacles to victory and glory, they felt :that the looks of the thing," defeated all their efforts in the play at Soldier ing. But to their credit be it said, they handled those sticks with lusty bravery whenever occasion re quired. Why even our gallant Capt. was'once made to feci how entirely he might depend on them, when ever a foe came within reach of. a blow. He was a great stickler for strict adherence to Military Regu lations. - On this occasion he was officer of the day, and as such re quired to make the grand rounds late in the night to see that senti nels were properly on duty ; to test them as to tne countersign, and to inspect their arms J He was escort ed by a large body-guard He ap proached the beat on which Mike Scot, a stalwart Irishman of wit and brawn walked with firm andJ measured tread. "Who come? there?" challenged Mike. -'Officer of the day on his grand rounds," responded the Captain. "Bejabers 'twould fake an Irish Ball to be an officer of the day in the night toime," said Mike. "Spake the countersign in a jiffy, ,or me shelala will add another mark to your Riglmintals," quoth Mike. i-xuuuoijtto ayg uui tile VapLi j in a loudisn whisper as he ad vanced, "Now let me see your stick."

Mike by a dexterous and swift movement broke his hold on it and bringing it vigorously around he Captain's neck, held to "each end and pressed him to the ground withlt. The Body Gu ird inter fered.'

Whether out of this in cident or through some other break in the "Regulations," carne punish ment to Mike Scott- the next day is not remembered, i ever known, but sure it is, he was mounted for twof hours on a high wooden pole Horse, hard by the Captain's quarters. . It was the first case of "discipling" that occurred to the companv, and of course quite sen sational ; but Mike bore it with true Irish fortitu e and good humor and when first observed by the writer, held in his hands . one of those book-folded flapper-jack ap ple pies, the people brought ir to camp in such abundance. He had just opened it, b )ok fashion, and very solemnly proceeded to "give out" and sing : v 'Me print is bad; me eyes aredimi: I can not see to read this Hymn."

BRADFIELD'S Female Regulator for yonnpr girls on the threshold of woman hood, has been invaluable. When they be come pale and languid, the eves dull, aching head, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, obstructed periods and painf i menses, and their systems general ly run down, they need building up, and then blood needs cleansing. Btadfield's Female Regulator for women it particularly valuable and useful owing to its tonic properties to build up the sys tem, and as a regulator of the wnenatrual tlows. Painful, obstructed and suppressed menstruation permanently relieved and al 1 diseases peculiar to her genital organs are cured by it. Regulator clears the complexion, bright ens the eye, sharpen3the appetite, removes mnddy anq blotched conditions of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause.
