It is fast becom ing the'Convention City" of the South and its c.V.mate and exc si lent he til facilities makes it; an attractive place. -I; It is reported that Col. Ch-u-..les.1 H. McConnell, of Chicago, will" erct a $150000 monument onlthe battle-field at Gettysburg to mark the spot where the twenty-sixth North Carolina and the twenty-fourth Michigan regi ments met-in such deadly com bat;. CoK Harry Burgwyn com manded the famous twenty -sixth 'and when- he fell valiantlycarry ing! the -flag, forward, our own brave coiintyman, Col. John R Xarie, became its' commander. Col. McConnell commanded the twenty-fourth Michigan and their bravery in holding their po sition was only surpassed; by the Vf lo: which made the twenty sixth North tJarolma famous. 'We! are pleased, that this monu ment is, to be placed at Getys burjf and it'is very right that the, spot where such brave Am ericans fell should be thus per petuated.

It should be not a day of sadness to the South, but cf joy that on a day a man such as Davis, should have beanrborn to a life' immortal in the Sou th's history and for its eternal example I In ;thia connection it will be of interjest to hote that Lincoln and Davis were both born in the samel State (Kentucky) , the par gnt3 )f the former moving to Ill inois land those of the latter to 'Mississippi.'.
