I;;. , Vj EDWIN G. REAJ& President.,
through the terrible vicissitudes and ordeals
6eventaix invasions by the armies of the two sec-
uons uuiing the long struggle, uonid tnoso
blessed daughters of love and mercy have heard
the loud and hearty cheers that rung through that
old building, to the Ladies of Winchester,"
they would have known and felt how Southern
love remembers. The great good-nature and gen
tlemanly decorum of the Agent of the Freed men's
Bureau, was generally remarked. He manifested
a genial, friendly interest, and . won the , sincere
respect of all who observed him.
Bishop Paixe. Passing through Person county
recently, I visited the birth-place of the beloved
ar.d honored Bishop Puine, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, it is a plain, neat coun
try residence, about fifteen miles from Hillsboro'.
In front of the house stands the largest tree I
ever saw. It is a gigantic white oak, notable in
the section as the tree around which the British
stacked their muskets in the Revolution, and be
neath which. tthe courts were held for a season
after the end of the war so much larger than the
trees around' it, it reminded me of the good
Bishop, whose early childhood was sheltered by
its genial ' foliage, while the luxuriant orchard
around it suggested the fertile usefulness of him
who for scores of years has been nursing immortal
plants in tue garden of the Lord.
In an almost impenetrable copse of the plum
and cedar, south of the main building, I found a
tomb inclosed with a wall and covered with a
broad slab of marble, bearing the name of a lady
who died in 1821, aged 27, the wife of Hon. l.
M. Saunders. The inscription seemed singularly
appropriate in that dark shade, as the evening
shadows slowly darkened th lingering light of
day. The inscription w-ns,
'Though lost to sight, to memory rlor.r."
t From information received, I judge she was a
sister of Bishop Paine. The locality is still known
as 'Paine's Tavern," or' "Paine's Ordinary," it
having been for many years a resting-place for the
weary 'traveler. Cor. N. X. Wutdnnun.
The Bckeau. Extensive observasion in differ
ent parts of the State justifies the assertion that
the Freedmen are doing well almost everywere
except where demoralized by the influence of in
discreet and incompetent agents of tho Bureau.
Facts and figures would prove that the good con
duct of the Freedmen is directly as the square of
the distance from the office of the Frecdmen's
agent, wherever said aarent is radical in his' no
tions.

. ? More Cotton Blossoms. M. J. Edwards,
Speight's .Bridge,' Green county, has sent to
Mitchell, Allen & Co., a cotton blossom taken
from a plant 37 inches high. It was plucked on
the 27th June, and is claimed as the first of the
season. Mr. Edwards is behind the times with
his blossom, though his stalk is the highest yet
heard of in this neighborhood. Mr. E. says lie
has plenty of stalks 30 to 3.5 inches high, and
wants to know if the Craven or Pitt farmers can
beat him ? New. Commercial.
