Malleus nf Local Interest. The Sketch of Simpson Bobo Concluded By Major William Iloy. Mr. Editor-In my recollections of llr. Bobo 1 stated that one of the men that Ford at'sinpted to implicate in ibe eounterfelt business was in college with Got. Noble and two others bad been iu the Ltglslatuic with him. The way the sentence stood la print, it Uiinbt bare beiJn inferred tbat Ford bad been in tbe Legislature with Gov. Noble, whieb would have been lneor reci. roru nai never a rntmutr ot the .Legislature. Mr recollections of Mr. Bobo already publiabed reached up to 1800, a few years before the eomuiencement of the Confederate War.

Mr. Bobo, up to this period cf his life, had been nothing but a private citizen, but his f-rce of character e eated a atroDg ceaire all ovsrtheSta e to know which side of the questien he would take. Profeesor DuPre received niuuy Utters of inquiry a* to what ?<> true Mr. Bobo would take. Several cf the letters wore read in public, lie promptly identified himself with the | Soe?

The 49th was a regiment of Ransom's brigade, Bushrod Johnson's division. The distinguishing traits of Mojor Petty as an officer were his pradenee and his eool bravery inaction.
