            A PATRIOTIC FAMILY—Gen. Joseph Graham of Lincoln county, N. C., has left a name renowned in history as a Revolutionary hero.  His mantle has fallen upon his descendants.  His youngest son, ex-Gov. Wm. A. Graham, (who we have thought ought to be a General, and would have been if he were of the office-seeking sort) has five sons in the Army.  His sister, the youngest daughter of Gen. Graham, and wife of Rev. Dr. Robert H. Morrison, has two sons and four sons-in-law in the service, two of the latter being “Bethel” Hill and “Stonewall” Jackson.  This is a record hard to beat.
