This might have been reasonably ex-^ pected in view of the South’s good be-' havior before and thus ar throughout the war agitation ; and yet when the ■ record of Republican administrations m the matter of recognitieii of tlie Soutli is recalled, it ought not be surprising after all, Mr. iMcKiniey has indeed done oetter in this regard than any ol his Republican predecessors Char lotte Observer.

When the faber and canteen oi Captain Harding wove shown to Col. Carr the effect was profound ly grand. In silence the tei-is rolled down the cheeks of this devoted cemrade and as they were allowed to dry upon his noble face they formed a perfect halo of heroic brightness, iigiit- ing up that already oianlv face ic something akin to heayecly varideiir.
