Among other things said by Genl. Clarkson, was the condition of the negro in the South; and in that quiet, calm and resolute man | ter, with emphasis on every sen- | tence, Genl. Clarkson said that the {negro in the South surprised him. | He had heard so much about him | In whispering low, and many a/ 2nd his condition, that he decided | to find out for himself, so he and his son, while at Ashlin, N. C., met several colored men in the street and asked whether they could read, and much to their surprise |they were soon convinced that what had been said about the ne- gro in the South was false, While his wife was away, said Mr. Clarkson, he purchased quite a ; number of novels and before her | return he was anxious to get rid of them. So he asked his colored ser- ; vant, (@ woman,) if she could read; and being informed that she could, he asked her how she had learned to read. She informed him by read- ing the Bible. Don’t you want some noveis, said he. No sir, I never read novels, I learned how to read by reading the Bible and that is the only book I read. This was Mr. He found out that a great number of colored people had learned how to read by reading the bible. It is a shame, said Genl. Clarkson, that the colored race should be so mis- represented. I was told, said Mr. Clarkson, by those who heldt he ne- groes in subjection, that they have always proven true to their trust. They never have the least idea of doing an injury to those who have wronged them. In slavery they were true to their masters and they nev- jer betrayed their trust on the field | of battle. be so badly treated, concluded Mr. Clarkson. Mr. Bruce said to Genl.

When people can’t agree in the eburch where will they agree?I think the same people would quarrel in heaven should they ever get there, but their chances are doutjimmes: I among *,* The mistake of some ministers 1s the attack they make on members ot the congregation. When aman who calls himself a preacher, gets up in the pulpit to preach, he should confine himself to the next and not the personal character of a member. It is a mistake in preachers to indi- rectly attack a member against whom he may have a personal ani mosity. any It is to be regretted that one of our lady teachers should become a victim to mistaken confidence. Some few weeks ago a lady teacher was persuaded to give security for a notorious thief, for which she re- ceived $25. The man is name Jack Terrell. He has since been indict: | ed by the grand jary and hence he has left the city. The lady’s prop- erty is to suffer the consequences by ajudgement of five hundred dot- dollars being filed against it. This 1g not the first case of speculation that this female bas been in to ber detriment. This case should be investigated by the school board and if found to be true, which it is, she should be removed from the schools.
