The pol icy of Dougherty, particularly, has not been exactly that advocated in this in-tance by Col. Ashton. The paragraph in question is not in Col. A’s. writing, and how it came on the manuscript is what we do not know. — Old Allen Gresham, an old col ored man, the oldest man in Burke county, residing on Mr. Job Gres ham’s plantation died last Sunday morning, Old Allen is said to have been 112 years of age, which makes the date of his birth 1770. six years before the Declaration of Independ ence.
