We know that Hampton's cavalry, as. it was then termed, protected the rear of Gen Johnson's army when it passed through here Of course, we gave our own recollection of it, and yield to those who are emphatic in their statements. A friend, who ought to know, says that Gen Wheeler stopped while here with Johnson's retreating army, at Gov Thomas Bragr's resi dence. A Nice Picture.

The effort tore establish the Yoi.ng Men's Christian Association, in this city, on e firm footine should receive the aid of all our people to the fullest extent possible. It would seem to be a shame upon tLe fair name of Ral eigh, if an association productive of so much good should be allowed to languish. In most cities the size of Raleigh, the associations are ia a most, prosperous condition, and cer tainly there is no reason why it should not be so here.

Messrs W L Hill, chairman; S J Betts, Walter Woollcott, Arthur Ar rington, J D Miller and W T Hamp ton.
