The fall term opens with 80 young men in at tendance as students, under the care and in struction of Maj. John M Richardson, Par son F. H. M. Henderson aud Parson G. W. Colquit. We have great excitement to-day in our town in consequence of a shooting affair which took place about 2 o’clock to-day. Mr. W. B. Ilight, residing iu the western part of the town was walkiug down the street to wards bis bouse, accompanied by Mr. C. White. Just as they were passing the gate of Mr. J. W. Adamson, P H.

Them is another, and stdl larger class of my countrymen who have co-operated with the Radicals, in the late election, to a par tial extent, who were called Reconstruction ists. Among them were Union men and se cessionists, their present position having no relation to their antecedents. Among them I recognize true, brave aud honest men, men who detest the principles and practices of the Radical factiou as much as any of us, men who earnestly and honestly seek relief from their despotism—iliese men voted fora Constitution wuieli they loathed, with men whom they de spised, because they said and believed that : they could better defeat their nefarious 1 schemes in the Union than out of it. They j were willing to accept their policy as the best , means of overthrowing their principles. With : all such 1 wholly differed, but 1 would giap- j jde them to ray bosom with hooks of steel. ; They were patriots earnestly laboring for the common cause, but I opposed them.

Tue cause of this unfortunate affair we will not attempt to give. Hight is believed by tbe physicians to be mortally wounded. A young lady by the name of Lotty McGrow died of fever yesterday, about four miles lroru town. She will be buried here to-day. We have a very healthy country around Bow- don, yet there are some cases of chills and fever we have arrived at a point where these differ ences of the pa-t are buried, to-day we are together, therefore iet every hontst recoi • siruetiouist give me “the right-hand of fellow ship." [Tremendous cheoiing and wild en thusiasm iu the audience.] Thank you gen tlemen, I have not mistaken jou. this is peace between us. There was another and still more numerous class cf our fellow-citizens wbo were con strained against their free will to lend a seem ing support to tuese villains. That was the debior class.

Men, imitate her courage! From our Special Correspondent. To New York and Back.—No. 7. New York, July 28, 1868. Dear Herald: From Grafton the Baltimore and Ohio Road takes an al most Eastern direction to the Maryland line, which it strikes on its extreme western border. A glauce at the map will show you that a narrow slip of land tii ction in an instant. Our train picked up these dead bodies and bore them a short distance to the first turn out, and communicated the fresh, sad accident to the family and fiiends of the deceased — They were all Irish, and the wild shrieks, ihe violent paroxysms of grief exhibited by this strangely impulsive people sends chills and rigors rolling over and through the iess excited American heart. The deep aud extreme grief manifested by this erratic people must be of short dura tion, other wise human Mature must suc cumb. As soon as the shades of the even ing set in every preparation is made to I hold a Wake over the remains of the dead—a queer, odd antique custom inva riably observed in the oid country and still prac iced with scrupulous “punctuali ty” in the wilds of the new. The summit reached, a general relaxa* tion is experienced among men and ma chinery—an easier movement is experi enced. On this lofty elevation tweuty- seveu hundred feet above the sea’s level, Iookiug lar and wide upon far off peaks, summits and ridges through the dim hazy distance among the crags where the thunder lias its home or among the. clifls where tiie lightning has its iair—as if exulting in its strength aud achievments our engine gives one long loud blast from its brazen throat which rolls over moun tain, gorge, den and grove, down the plains to the Ocean's sandy shore. Here nature has manifested her power in space, magnitude and vastness, the overcoming ot which illustrates the strength of intel lect, aud the intensity of human energy. The decent is commenced an easier move ment still is felt We are falling one hundred and twenty one feet every mile, no propelling power is needed, nopuff, no surge, no jerk. The fires have gone down, the valves are all open, the brakes are all on. The engineer stands watching—the breakinen are at the wheels, the conduc tor looks ahead, the passengers see aud feei, and Lear the change, they look out on the right, high rough walls of rock close up, on the left long deep sleeps, and wild ragged gorges, a stone a pebble on ihe right rail would up sec and throw off the whole train and send us rolling, tumb ling, smashing, crashing, down ruugh precipices thousands of feet below. We thought of McDonald’s drummer who was swept down into tiie distant hollow and left to beat his own requiem, of the whole plattuons and regiments buried down the deep abyss by one sweep of the avalaiche. We proceeded with a noise less gliding sliding. Milford Bard's glass rail road was fresh in our memory. The same swift uoiseless motion—His passen gers were all joyous laughing, singing, ours all grave, serious, thoughtful. In deed every one was awake and duly im pressed with the critical run down this mountain. A solemn, painful, anxious stillness rested on all, not a word was spoken, many enquiring glances were exchanged aud no one looked out except to silently contemplate the vast charms reaching far off in the distance. For seventeen long miles we gilded down in almost breathless suspense, when we were gently halted at the little mouniain each bottle. If my private stamp is not on the bottle, do not purchase, or you will be deceived. See my column advertisement, and ray show card. I will prosecute any’ one in fringing on my right.
