Major Dee was sileot - the Governor held his cane to his Upper lip. The stage had hardly crossed th° bridge hefor the apostle of liberty, who evidently recognized the Governor but did not the Major, began u truly loyal dis- course, always addressing Major Dee. “I think the rebellion ought to be crushed by all means,” said the chap lain. The Major is always prudent; the Governor was of necessity in those times cautious, and so they said uoth ing. The apostl. went on with tt rade against <ehels Still no response or comment from either the Governor or Major Dee Fit’.illv, said th-- chaplain, address ing Mejor Do.-; “Don’t you think A’-rahaui Lincoln the greatest man living? 1 ask you, sir.” The Major aroused ftiiiise'f, and will his i.si.hl “ahem! ahem!” said I ‘ Yes, so; the only truly gteat man living.” The Anderson coun'y wo man * xh hotrtfied; In- Goveii.'-'' took Ins chiio f-oin his motif.; ant 'he chapi-it. was all attention. “Sir,” continued Major Dee, “Abraham Lin coin ii t. to. his faioer sod oituhei the noblest thing ever e sou did.” The chaplain's fac beamed, the Major grow pHinetu-. “You may talk ol Joseph and all other eons, hut I never did tor my father and mother what Mi Lincoln did for his.” The major g>ew earn. st. “Honor thy parents is a God-given command, and nol.’y and in suih a manner e-s no other u an has done did Mi Lincoln honor his father and mo t-.

A SIGHT OF HORROR. A SAP INCIDENT OF THE FLOOD IN NORTH CAROLINA. Following Close upon the heels of i the appailing railroad disasters of Fri day, conies the intelligence >f en oc o„trene near Lincoln',on, Friday night, which is hardly less distressing in its character. Messrs. Michael Hoke, Jacob Sumner nnd Harrison Grice, younq. men of the town, were crossing Clarke’s creek, which is just on the outskirts and which runs e- tween the town and Phifer’s 'he waters being very high, when the boat which they occupied suddenly capsizwd. Young Grice sank beneath the waters and was se-in no more.—- Messrs Hoke and Summer managed to clitnh one upou each end of ‘h- cap sized ci air, and in this way were floa ted -apidly down st'eam. From the point where the young men essayed o cross the creek to tho mou h of the same, where it empties into *he river, (the south fork of the Oatawl a) the distance Is a half mile, and realizing that they would soon he driven into the full current of the lar ger st.eani, they agreed to catch upon the branches of the first free to which they were borne. Acco.di gly. when they had been carried a quaere'' of a mile down the river, in thedireetioi of the opposite hank, and were borne against a tree, they abandoned their trail hrk and swung to the limbs, while the boat, relieved, M its weight, shot from under them like an arrow. Mi. Hoke lodged high up among the branches, Mr. Summer below him, and in this perilous situation they hung suspended hy the arms, calling lor help, which did not come, and’talk ed to each other about their peril nnd the probabilities of escape from thnir frightful surroundings. At *i.h end of at. hour Mr. Summer said to his companion that he could hold out no longer . that he was growing weaker and weaker afid would have to release his hold upon the limb. “Take care of y iirsvlf.” w*ra the last wolds he uttetel, and then he sank and the waves closed over his already almost lifeless form. Tlis companion did nn T see him when he disappeared, for the night was dark, lut their converse tion was suspended and he knew that lie was gone. Thrr.iijrhout the long watches of that awful nigl.t, from 9 o’clock tin’il 7 testerday mornii g, Mr. Hoke clone *o the branches of the tree, the water using nearly to his arm-pits, and his whole frame benumbed with cold.— Shortly aher dayligh' his cries a’trac ted perso. s to the tank, arid finally, after long hours of fearful waiting, 1 e was rescued and (nought to shore al’Ve and well. News of the drowning of Messrs. Grice and Summet soon reached the town and during ye-terduy the river banks were searched as far down the stream as High Shoals, eight miles below, hut up to 3 o’clock in the after noon no trace of either body could be found.— Charlotte Observer.

Pollltt sues l > r< j D. 1 >. McGaughey on a note for $lO,-j | 000 >nd the trial of the issue has consumed the entire week, The Rev Frauds M Pollitt is a Camphel ite preacher, who has pu.stied his ho* ly cubing for a number of years. Fie is about sixty yeafs of age, tall and slender, and hi general aspect that of a man of great determination. He has a tami y consisting of seven grown daughters. In the duplicate capacity of physician and minister, lie has occupied a high social position. D'. IVfcGanghey is n physician of this county of forty yerrs | ractice. He is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church, and one of the most iiifluenti4l men of his section. Hitherto he has borne an excellent ctiaracter in every re spect. Polliti claims that this no*e in suit was executed under tho following circumstances: In IHGS the'defendant McCaughev cine to him and told him that he was in great trouble: that his son. Dr. M -Gaughey, Jr., was then absent in MLsnuri, having flod the country on account ol ef trouble with one Ann Edwards: that he de sired to get the buy hack, and could do so if Pollitt would let him havo SI,OOO to pay this gib! or her friends. Poilitt replied that hecoflld borrow it, nnd promised to try. Pollitt thereup on borrowed the desired amount at ten per c t, and reloaned 'h some to Dr MrGaughej at fifteen percent On another occasion,according to Pol litf’s statement, McGaughey came to him nnd sraf'ed that lie had become involved in trouble Localise of the fact that the wile of one George Spurrier charged him, Dr. McGaughey, with having seduced her upon h promise of fleeing the country with her; that up on a certain night, r.fter sho had te turnei from the insane asylum, this worn oi i Hinfl to a place whoie McGaughey wa-. and asked him to coniiilv with his promise. MoG.iug ey infusing, the w man went Lack h me and hanged herse); i>, the smoke house. Pollitt furthers avers that George Spurrier, sinfte that time, havi g a full kno ledge of the fac'ff, demand ed money ol McGaughey a : different bmea, insi-ting upon $2,500 under pet altv of exposure In bin trouble McGaughey mine to Pollitt aid a*ked h in to raise tl e amount for him, which the plain'iff nays ho did t>y borrowi- g for the purpose, relhaningi to the de fendant and chaiging the latter fifteen per cent, interest, In addition In the sum of money above alluded to, Pol l>tt claims that on other occasions he I' aned him money, atone time SI,OOO, and shortly aftei $1,400. more which Mims eventually, at fifteen per cent, interest, aggregated the $10,(WO, for which the note in suit was executed It seenn. that the partiea met bv ap poictmem at RushviJle on the 27th of July, 1879, and, ocnording to Po> litt, ms'le a calculation on the no'es that had ’ tym given and metgid the whole in tie $10,00'! n e, the sma le> notes being surrendered to Mi.Gaugh ey. As for McGallghey, lie admits he execution ol the not ’,jat the tiin all t places alleged, but avers that it wa giyen under duress, and that thffe was no consideration whatever to suj port it. He says that onMie 25th day ~f inly, 1876, Dr. Pollitt tame to his office in the town of Morristown, acg ry and evtied, and fold him that he t>ad a short time previous, preached a sermon on the doctrine of confession ; and that on his return home his wife j had confessed to him that she had beed guilty ot adulteiy with Inui (Dr. McG. ugheyt twenty ye rs ago. Pol litt added that one or two things would settle it, SIO,OOO or loose bi life. Pollitt then gave him three days to raise the money. They agreed to meet in Rusl.ville, and the sg*eemect was carried out, as detailed above. This evening the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, awarding him a judgement for $11,303.77.
