' The Han. James B. Beck. Senator
from Kentucky,- has always enjoyed
the reputation of being a clear headed
statesman and an honest man. He has
been interviewed by the Hew York
Tribune, and In regard to the contest of
ism ne expresses bimseir asiouows:
"The way 1 view the situation for the
next Presidential campaign " is this
The majority of the people of the Uni-
: ted States are tired of what you might
'.call Republic! boaaiam, but; don't
'tbiok yet-that we can be trusted. We
: bare a majority of the next. Congress,
and the result wil! depend upon what
we do. If we organize and go honestly
to work to legislate for the good of the.
"wjiole country, put down monopolies
without disturbing industry; carry a
genuine reform of the civil service into
effect, and keep clear of the, idea that
' " power 'ls-to be esed -only to reward
political friends, we will elect the next
President. The contest will be ore of
ideas of this character, and will j not be
affected by the differences of opinion
on the tariff. Personally I am a liberal
traier;some of my friends believe in
protection; but these things will not
influence uj much. The viul questions
ara so great that I do not care to speak
about men. There isn't any one man
big enough to stand for them -no one
who towers" ovor lh oihers o greatly
. that h can be locked u; -m as the only
fit mm fa represent the i rit ciplea now
at la-iue."
It will be observed that Mr. Deck
does not anticipate the least trouMe
from the differences of opiuiuo among
Democrats on the tariff, and yt some
very knowing newspapers would hare
uttxliive that if this or that man Is
not elected Speaker because of his
views on that question, the Democratic
party wilt go to the everlasting bow
wows. The Democratic party Is greater
than any individual member of it, and
nothing shot t of an act or political in
sanity on the part of those to whom its
management is entrusted can prevent
it from carrying' the country in 1834.

is a phenomenal success. , .
We have received, from Hon Abram
8 lie witt a pamphlet copy of his address
upon the occasion of the opening of the
Brooklyn bridge. The address is worthy
of Mr Hewitt and of the great occasion,
and will add to his fame as a scholar, a
thinker, and a practical statesman.
The Czar of Russia celebrated his
coronation by removing from office the
mayor of Moscow for publicly express
ing the hope that the Czar would insti
tute constitutional government. Rus
sia is a bad place to have hopes, or, hav
ing them, for publicly expressing them.

On the 6th of June Lieut. CoL Ruf us
Barringer received his commission as
Brigadisr General, and took command
of me brigade, and was ordered to
guard the lower crossings of me Chicka-
nominv. . . .
When Grant crossed the Chickahom-
lny, Barringer's command fell back, be-
lore me immensely superior numbers
to White Oak 8 warn p Bridge, where, he
was iolned by uen. w; 11. jr. Aiee, with
Chamblis Brigade, and a determined
stand made against - the advancing
enemy. The cavalry neia tne position
until late in me day, when it was re
lieved bv the infantry. The cavalry
hung upon the skirts of theenemyskir-
mishiug daily, especially at ltocK's,
Malvern Hill, Crenshaw's 'and Herring
creek.
On the 18th of June the Division
crossed me James and took a position
two miles South of A'elersburg.
Early in me day of the 21st, General
Barringer, while guarding the fronts
observed me enemy advanetnr rapidly
and in large force, with infantry, (Bar
low's Division) and artillery, to seize.
me Weldon Railroad. The enemy was
so near when Gen. Barringer made this
discovery that he had barely time to
form bis line. His line wss composed
of the First. Second and Third Regi
ments, and was ranged in front of me
Davis farm. McGregor's battery was
now ordered Into position at the Davis
house, on the railroad, and the. Fifth
Regiment was assigned to the support
of the battery. Orders were given that
wnen the action oegan. tne wnoie line
sbonld fall back to a wood through
which It was thought me enemy would
pass on their way to the railroad. Mc
Gregor was ordered not to fire until the
enemy reachea tnis wooa. I nts ar
rangement had the desired effect. The
enemy mistook the retrograde move
ment for a retreat, and msssed their
troops in tl.e woods. McGregor now
open-d npon them, and for a moment
they srr.?gerd ; but soon recovering.
they rtishrd forward, when they re
ceived tin tffective fire frcm the dis
mounted men at short range. The
enemy alandonrd the .fifld with a loss
in kilted and woonara amounting to
several hundred. The total loss of the
Confederates was 27. Among our cap
tured were Col. Maker, or tne i hird.and
Lieut. Foard, aide to Gen. Barringer.
On the 22nd. the First, Second and
Fifth Regiments, together with Dear
ing's Brigade, all under command of
Gen. W. II. F. Lee drove the Vi ilson
Kaulz raiders frcm Reams' Station to
beyond Dinwiddle Courthouse. And
now began one of the famcus marches
of the war. An eye witness and active
nan ice pant describes it as follows:
on me next aay, zara, uen. u earing
was in front. During the afternoon we
stuck the enemy in flank near Blacks
and Whites. Gen. Dealing attacked
with great vigor, supported by the Sec
ond Xorth Carolina Regiment, ana by
Graham's and McGregors batteries.
The enemy wss much annoyed by this
move or Uen. lee.ana dismounting a
large force made a furious attack on
Dearing. The latter was forced back.
his lines brokennd the artillery nearly
captured, when Maj. Cowies came up
with the First jxortn uarouna-xtegi-
ment. That spit-Ddid officer nuried but
regiment against the exultant foe with
such crushing enect as to instantly
check their progress. Just at this mo
rn rut Maj. Roberts, with a portion of
the Secondccnpying the extreme right
of Dearing a line, seeing the latter in
full flight, faced suddenly to the left.
and. with consummate courage and
skill, attacked the enemy's rear. In an
instant- me tide of bsttie was turned
and the day saved Tne enemy was
driven back in great disorder and with
heavy loss.
"We held the position under a ternnc
ore nntii night, wnen tne enemy, ana
log his celdmn cut, and abandoning all
hone of re-uniting his forces in that
direction, retired and made directly for
Staunton river bridge. Gen. Dearing
was allowed to halt one day in order to
ration his command The artillery was
sent back. The .North Carolina Cavalry
Brigade alone pressed me pursuit, uen.
W. ii. F. Lee accompanied it. we over
took the enemy just as they reached
the bridge on the morning of the 25th.
The Dome uuara made a gallant de
fence at the bridge, uen. .Lee, with me
Carolinian st me same time giving me
enemy's rear some heavy blows. Thus
this important bridge was saved That
night the enemy beat a hasty retreat
via Boydton and Lawrenceville. So
severe had been , our labors in this
march, so terrible the heat, dust and
smoke left in the track of this vandal
horde, and so exhausted were both men
and animals, that the North Carolina
Brigade did not now exceed 300 effective
men. Turning back the disabled men
and horses, we renewed the chase with
mis small force. Dearing. in me mean
time, was ordered by Gen. Lee to move
on the left flank of the retreating col
umn. We failed again to hit the main
body of me enemy, but this strategy on
the part of Gen. W. II. F. Lee no doubt
greatly alarmed the fleeing foe, and
forced them into the snare so well pre
pared for them by Hampton and Fitz
Lee at Monk's Neck and Sapony church.
Here their defeat was overwhelming
and the Confederates' triumph glorious.
"The enemy lost ail their artillery, ail
their trainaand all their booty .and f rom
1,200 to 1,600 prisoners; their loss in
horses, including those killed or aban
doned on me march, could not have
been less than from two to three thou
sand. Thej did our people and railroads
vast injury, out never did a rata ena so
disastrously. '

Andrews, of the Second, at Blacks and
Whites, June 23rd. -
: "The utter destruction or me enemy's
cavalry in this last raid now secured us
a long rest.. The time was devoted to
the great work of - organization, discip
line and drill. From this period the.
balgade steadily increased In numbers
and efficiency. Under the new system
of horse details, introduced by Major
Gen. Lee. our broken-down horses were
soon replaced by fresh ones. " In a few
weeks the brigade numoerea iuo

The merchants of Shelby have de
cided upon -a novel plan of business.
They have agreed to confine themselves
to certain lines of goods only, each firm
taking a certain line and selling nothing
else. The business houses of that place,
as now apportioned, are as follows:
Groceries, A D Suttle, Young & Green
and D Beam & Son ; Dry Goods, Webb
& Me Bray er, J F Stevens & Son ; Hard
ware. Esk ridge & Blanton, D C Webb
& Sons; Shoes and Hats. J W Rudisill,
Martin. LatUmore & Co; Gents' Fur
nishing Goods, Long, Bostick & Co.;
Druggists, J C Gidney & Co. R H Mor
rison, Wray and Ellis; Fertilizers; W L
Diamond & Co; Tobacco and Cigars,
Bostic Bros; "Insurance Agent, M W
Doggett; Confectioners, T K Barnett,
J A Parker and J F Harris.
All the merchants of the town enter
ed into the contract except Borders &
Qoinn. Miller Bros, and A Bland. The
Miller Bros are helping to build up the
town, and with their new tobacco f ac-
tory, will keep trsde lirely.
Thieves oa the Round.
The thieves must have been on a reg
ular raid Friday night, judging by the
reports that were made to the police
yesterday. Mr. Lindsay Adams brought
up a bolster pin that had been left, in a
window of his house by a thief! who
bad succeeded in getting inside but was
frightened away. The bolster pin was
an acceptable gift to Mr. Adams, as he
needed one, and intended to have one
made next week. He returns his thanks
to the thief for the gift. !
The residence of Mrs. J. P. Ross, on
Trade street, near the Air Line depot.
was entered by a burglar, who carried.
off a quantity of flour and lard. Police
man Boyte tracked the thief for over, a
mile, but finally lost the trail.
Mr. George Holobaugh, who lives
near me graded, school, was the next
sufferer. Some rogue entered his
premises, and going to his hog pen.
stole a, fine hog therefrom. How the
thief managed, to keep the hog from
squealing and waking up the neighbor
hood is a trick which he will probably
not care to divulge.
Mr. A. Schroeder's premises were also
visited, and hisdne game chickens, in
which he took a great priae, were
stolen.
The Plaaet Japtter.
This great planet, according to an
astronomical writer, is at present a
splendid phenomenon in the June sky.
His rosy belts and equatorial clouds
and the constantly changing aspect of
his satellite system never cease to be
interesting, and whoeVeV has seen them
once is sure to wish to see them again,
often as he can. One of me great
charms of a telescopic view of Jupiter
is the visible motion of the planet and
his moons. In a single eveuing one can
see the huge globe roll half way over on
its axis, me time of a whole rotation
being only ten hours, and can witness
the passage of the round black shadow
of one of the moons across the face of
me planet, or the disappearance of. an
other moon as it goes behind me planet
or Is eclipsed in the great cone of
shadow. which Jupiter throws far away
into space behind him. Jt is difficult
for one not accustomed to astronomical
observations to comprehend the fact
that those little shining globes which
he sees moving so silently and smoothly
in; their orbits are actually worlds in
size, ana mat they are removed hun
dreds of thousands of miles from the
great planet around ; which they circle.
If, as most astronomers believe, Jupiter
has not yet cooled down into a habita
ble globe, he is, in some respects, all the
more interesting to us on that account;
for if he : were an Inhabited globe, no
telescope man can make would be able
to reveal his inhabitants or meir works
to us, and the very fact that he was in
such a condition as to support Inhabit
ants would preclude the possibility of
any. physical changes which could be
seen at the distance of four or five hun
dred million miles. But, on the other
hand, if, as is believed, Jupiter is yet-
In a very early stage of .world growth.
then the inhabitants of this earth can
continue to . watch with their tele-
Bcopesj, as they have been doing for the
last two hundred years, the changes of
appearance which he undergoes. In
other words, they can .behold part of
the geological development of a distant
world, and. If the human race could ex
ist4onz enough and could hand down
its reoords unbroken from sue to asre. it
might at last nave a complete history,

North Carolina leads all the Southern
States in the number of gi ad nates at
West Point this year. Our State gradu
ates four, one of whom stands fifth in
the list. There will be fifty-two in the
graduating class this year, one having
died. Ohio leads the list as she almost
always does. This year she not only
holds first place, but will graduate the
largest number six. Pennsylvania
comes next with five, one of whom
stands third and another of whom is a
Hebrew, whose success is said to be an
innovation at the Post, at least in late
years. Illinois also graduates five who
are well up in the class.' In me Far
West, California and Nevada break in
on the usual record and each graduates
one. South Carolina graduates only
one, Mr Davis, of Fairfield county, bnt
he holds fourth place in the list! Mas
sachusetts has four representatives, two
of whom graduate close together, being
fourteenth and sixteenthuin the list.
New York has three and so also does
Indiana, one of the latter being at the
wrong end of the list. New Jersey and
Missouri each have two, and the rest
and credited one to ' each of several
States.

to devote the time to -prayer praise,
