WILLIAM D. MARTIN.
I first saw Judge Martin whilst
ho was Clerk of the Senate in Columbia,
but never Imd any acquaintance
with him till after his
election to Congress. lie was a
man of tine personal appenrrnce,
good address, and possessed great
coiivei national powers. He was
an eminent lawyer, and had a very
high standing in Congress ll is
said that he would have been elected
Speaker of tbo House of Rep*
pi escntatives if lie hud continued
in Congress. He was the tpodel
of a good Circuit Judge, and died
whilst holding Court in Charles
ton He went to bed in perfect
health, and the next morning when
his body-servant went into bis
room, he found him dead. II is
death was caused by appnplexy.?
lie died during our greatest political
excitement, and his opponente,
manifested the hignest regard for,
his character, and the deepest regiet
at his death. I was at that
time editing a Union paper, and
received from Mr. Peiigrn, an
obituary notice of him. lie spoke
of him with the affection of a brother,
and the admiration of a warm
|igiouiiui inuuu, inotion iney were
strongly opposed in politics. They
ha<l practiced law together .many
years in the same place, always
employed on opposite sides, and
never had a words difference or an
unkind feeling. It one of^them
was not ready in a ease, Ire bad
onlv' to say ho to the other, and the
case was continued without affidavits.
Ilow very pleasant, honorable
and hitrh toned gentlemen tnav
make their practice, and how dis
a recublo it may become between
pettif'ogers.
In court Judge Martin presided
with great dignity and courteai*
lie dispatched the business with
great promptness, and ulways with'
satisfaction to the bar. Whilst on
the Circuit, he was very coiumn
nicative to the lawyers and others,
lie had a great deal to say about
the proceedings of Congress and
- i " - ?
ine members1 ot that body. In
speaking of the prominence of
Governor Hamilton in the House
ot Representatives, he said it was
mainly owing to hjs great talent as
a purlizau leader, and the .fortunate
period at which ha. entered
Congress?the organisation of the
Jackson party, lie said Tazewell,
of Virginia, w:.s tlier greatest talker
In the world, and could talk as
well on one side of a question as
Ilia other. ?He-would talk, too, on
any suhjeatg to-anygwi*} *'h? would
iTstetrrh Itini i'of I mure.' *l1iiewell
was very honest, hut so loud of
disputation, tliatjt was ivoci&mtal
w hich.sii.ft of a question he took in
debate. His talents weie of the
highest ofdgr.jt . , J
*' Wtdieter'-Suia the Judge ".was
scarcely treated witli civility by
Mie Southern members. I never
see lorn without being jemiuded of
the leaders of this Fr- iieh\lievolulion,
lie liiis the appearance of a
Uobe8peaie or a Alorrot." 1
thought afterwai-yiHj when J saw
Mr." Web&te , thai Judge Martin
had dotie him great injustice. 11 is
qouuteiiahte virus grave and heavy,
hut h)' no ineaiis ferocious or disagreeable.
llis ?oipp!exion was
dark, liia eyes rarf large and deeply-sunk
ii? ifas hekd.''tyiiis Buren"
said "jhe Judge, always court
fhg nis tme'fnw inid opponents.
If any ana Was CO it*t to him in tl|e
Henate, aiui fell lnm.tlnU a certain
member of Congress did not like
liitn, he would have that member
by the arm as soon as the Senate
adjourned.** '
When Judge Martin w)i* elected
to the bench, tiieio wer 6 OV ' v P"
al bullotiugs, and very clo?e ones
lietween him ami Col. Thomas
WiHiams; of*York District. The
evening ttie tdeciion was made,

member of Congress, ami Continued
to serve out' that eessU af.en

next > evening,' >L met i Itiift) at a
large'party at Governor Millet's,
ana some one congratnhued hint
on his arrival in Columbia, just in
time to receive bis judicial honors.
He replied tli'at. he. had arrived
ju&t &s he was whipped'through
the polls. Judge Earle had been
elected on the first ballot at the
same time. There being two vacancies
to be filled.
Judge Martin was once conversing
with me about Jndge Hngcr,
and SRld he had heard the Judge
say when be, Martin, was a very
young man, that no one should eater
public life without a fortune.?
He said at that time he thought
this was a great heresy of an old
aristocrat, and it made his yonng
ambitious blood a little Indignant
in its poverty. But that lie had
long been satisfied with the wisdom
of the remark. If hlo life
was to go over again he would act
on it.
In speaking of Mr. Petigru,
the Judcre said that his voica mrd
manner at the l>ar, and before a
jury, were worth a great deal in
the management of his cases. In
the trial of a case at Walterborough,
the Judge's title depended
on an old deed, which -was
properly executed, but a good deal
mutilated. Petigrue took the
deed, put hi6 finger through one of
its holes, turned it around to the
jury, and made such sport of it,
that the Judge lost the case. I
remember once in the Legislature,
Mr. Petigrn kept the whole House
In a burst of laughter for'several
tn inn tea, by simply reading a Resolution
to incorporate a J<?ckey
CTnb. There was nothing peculiar
in the language, and hnd the Resolution
been rend by any one else,
it would not at all have attracted
the attention of the House.
, Judge Mar tip died, in the prime
of life. He was twice married.?
His Inst wife was a young lady of
Maryland, whom he met in Washington.
Whilst holding c"urt at
Greenville, he manifested great
impatience to get through with the
business and return home And
said to ine, as an apology, for h'S
impatience, that it was natural for
an old man who had a young wife.
( > THOMAS 8. ORIMl'KE.
Mr. Grimpke was a verj' extraordinary
man. He had great learning
and great talents. He was a
most pious christian and pnre man
in all the relations of life. In advocating
his views and carrying
out nis principles, he was as bold
us a lion. IIo had too much honor
ana honesty to succeed as a pol
itician. thooch ho wiu? nnoo oloniort

to the State Senate from the city of
Charleston. In the Senate chamber,
he distinguished himself as a
debater, lie was the moet fluent
speaker l ever heard. The words
seemed to flow from hie lips Hke a
gentle stream that was never to
end He was an eminent lawyer,
and surpassed by notie in the State
tor his lull and exact knowledge of
the law. He \vas a very small
man, and not prepossessing in his
appearance, Mr. Grinipke was
the advocate of codifying the
laws of South Carolina, anu made
an argument, ot great ability on
that subject in the Senate. His
speech on the,Tariff question was
replete with wisdom, learning and
patriotism. I saw him, once, vote
a minority of one in the Semite.?
Governor Hamilton, afterwards,
dhl the same thing, when he said,
"minorities hntfno terrors tor him."
Mr. Griinpke wrote a great many
articles for the Southern Review;
but they were dull and heavy, not*

ability. Although a profound law
yer, surpassed bv none Tt> his remembrance'o)
cusys, lie was not
regarded,as a.very succesafid prac- ,
titiouer at the Rar. Judge Martin
called liini a walking library, and
said, whilst on the circuit, lie always
applied to Griwipke lor his
law, instead of Consulting the
books. . Griuipke could refer him
to i-a^e and page.
In our Nullification excrement,
Mr. Griuipke was a strong Union
man, ami boldly tesi?red the new

clared that lie would sooner givo

thai body tor a c?(Jkatle, than raise
it against the Union ot the States !
Whilst in the Senate, lie exh bited

I remember bearing Judge Hpger
say, that although Grimpke would
not fight a dnfel, he wonld stand on
top of a house burning dow.i long i
er than Wilson, if duty or man-'
hood required it. He was a mo6t
just ana exact man in all things.
He was governed by principle
and right in all the transactions of
lite, great and small. Judge Mar
, tin told me that tbey were once
| travelling on the circuit, and stop|
ped to take a lunch on the roadI
side. A boy got for them two or
three bundles of fodder for their
horses. When tliey started, Grimpke
gave the boy a quarter of a dollar,
which was the least qhange he
had, and threo times the value of
the fodder. Judge Martin then
discovered that lie had ten cents in
It to i\< ?/ !? ? ? ! ?- ? ? ? ' -a. a - * 1
>>io pwixot, mill WW UUUUI in Ilirow
it to the boy. "No," said Grirnp
ke, "give it tome; I have paid
three titue? as much as the fodder
is worth already !" Judge Martin
said if Grimpke had an execution
against an old woman, be
would inake the sheriff sell her out,
although he might, ihe next day,
f'ive the old woman as much as
ler property was worth. Duty to
his client was one thing, and charity
was another.
Thomas S. Grimpke was the son
of Judge Grimpke, of South Caro
lina, who wrote and compiled several
valuable law books. No one
! would take Mr. Grimpke, from his
appearance, for a great man. He
was a fine Latin and Greek scholar,
and had been thoroughly educated.
But he wrote some articles
in the Southorn Monthly to prove
that young men wasted a great
many years in acquiring a knowl
edge of the classics, which was of
no value to them in after life, lie
was a great utilitarian in all
his views of life. He had
a peculiar, but very sensible,
notion about spelling words as
they were pronounced. It was
jestingly/aid of hitn, that in spelling
his christian name, Thomas,
he would leave out the "h" as surplusage.
He went to Cincinnati
to deliver an address before some
literary society, and there died of
cholera. He was comparatively a
young tnan at his death. Had he
lived to a good old age, he would
have been a prodigy of learning,
for he never ceased acquiring
knowledge on all subjects, and
never forgot what ho had acquired.
He was the great advocate of temperance
and temperance societies,
long before Chief Justice O'Neale
commenced his crusade in the
cause. Ho was the bold, uncoin[
promising advocate of religion,
morality, virtue, and everything
that made his fellow man happier
and better. lie was, indeed, a
philanthropist, a patriot and a
christian, as well as a lawyer, a
statesman and philosopher, in both
1 the ancient and modern sense of
fhe words. He was an economist
and utilitarian, of the Franklin
school.

Sixteen Reasons,
A writer in en English journal
gives the following plain and forcible
reasons for abstinence from
the use Of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage. It is a view sanctioned
by religion and common sense :
1. Because ale, porter, gin, rum, 1
brandy, etc., all contain a spirit 1
which is calculated to derange the
human system.
2. Because none of these drinks,
as an habitual beverage, are eter
useful, but always injurious toper*
sons in health, and many profess
ing Christians, both young and
old, have been ruined by them.
3. Because drunkenness is a bo
sotting sin, and leads to idleness,
quarrelling, swearing, fighting,
stealing, adultery, murder, and al
most every other sin, and finally
to etertial misery.
4. Because drinking produces
poverty, bankruptcy, destruction
of pro])erty, loss of reason, disease,
and premature death.
5. Because a great deal of val
nable time, labor, and capital are
worse than wasied upon making,
vending and nsing the drinks.
6. Because over seventy millions
of money, being more than
the whole revenue, ore annually
ox(>ended upon them in the United
Kingdom, which ought to be
laid out in food and manufactures.
7. Because nearly six millions
of bnsliels of good grain are annually
destroyed in this Christian
'land to make these liqnors, while
the markets are high and many of
the poor are starving.
8. Because intemperance obstructs
the progress of civilization,
education, the religion of Jeeus,
and every useful reform.
9. Because abstinence is sure
and safe, but drinking? moderately
is danger ous, and has led to all the
drunkenness in the world.
10. Because I find I cannot ef
fecuiaWy warn the drunkard, or
set hitn example unless I am myself
an entire alietainer.
11. Because I like to join tbose
who are exerti' g themselves to
promote the temporal and spiritual
reformation and huppiuessof man.
12. Because it is important to
set a 6afe example of perfecting sobriety
to our children, friends, and
associates.
13. Because it is our Christian
duty to deny ourselves oven of law
tul tilings to promote the happiness
ot Others.
14. Because, while millions in
time and eternity have repented of
drinking, not one has ever repelled
of abstaining.
15. Because, while no blessing is
pronounced upon drinking, God's
approval is frequently recorded in
tavor of abstinence. [See Jcr.
xxxv ; Luke i, 15 ; Rom" xiv, 21;
Prov. xx, 1.]
16. Because I should he ashamed
to touch, taste, handle, or keep
in my house, the article which is
r* i i .i -
nuing uie land with dissipation,
vice, poverty, misery, lamentation
and woe.
The Accurate Boy.
There was a young man once
in the office of a Western railway
superintendent. He occupied a
position that tour hundred hoys of
that city would have wished to
get. It was honorable and " it
paid well," besides being in the
iitie of promotion. How did he
; get it I Not by having a rich
f'^r he was the son of 'a In*
j.n.u!*. The secret was his beauti
>ui accuracy. He began as an er
rand boy, and did bis work accurately.
His (ensure Mine be used
in perfecting his writing and arithmetic.
Alter a while lie learned
to tileg nph. At each step his
employer commended his accuracy,
and relied on what he did,
because he v as just right.
And it is thus with every occnpatioii.
The accurato boy is the
* . -d one. Those who employ
! . do not wish to be on the con
is ?,.it lookout, as though they
were rogues or fools. If a car
pcnter must stand at Ins journeyman's
elbow to !?e euro that his
work is right, or if a cashier must
run over hid book keeper's column,
bo might a* well do the
work himscit or employ another
to do it in that way ; and it is
very certain that the employer
wilt get rid of such an inaccurate
workman as soon as he can.

Care of Horse*.
A celebrated writer says: All
horses must not be fed in the same
proportions, without regard to
their ages, their constitutions, and
their work, because the impropriety
of such a practice Js self-evident.
Yet it is constantly done,
and is the basis of disease ot every
kind.

Chaff is better for old horses
than hay, because they can
chew and digest it better. ; _
.Mix chajl with corn or beans,

Hay or grass alone will not
support a horse nnder hard work,
because there is not sufficient nutritive
body in'either. "
When a horse is worked bard
its food should chiefly be oats; if
not worked hard, its food should
chiefly be hay, hecause oats supply
more nourishtnedt and flesh
making material than any other
kinds of food ; haj not so mncb.
For a saddle or coach horse, half

? i/?n vi ovunu tmis, ana eignteen
pounds of good bay, are sufficient.
If the bay is not good add a quarter
ot a peck more oats. A horse
which works harder may have
rather more of each. One that
works little should have less.
Rich feeding is wasteful. The
better plan is to feed with chopped
hay from a manger, because the
food is not then thrown about, and
is more easily chewed and digested.
Sprinkle tho hay with water
that has salt dissolved in it, because
it is pleasing to the animal's
taste, and un?re easily- digested.
A tea-spoonful ot e&li in a bucket
of water is sufficient.
Oats should be bruised for an
old horse, but not for a young one,
because tho former, through age
and detective teeth, cannot chew
them properly; the young hor6o
can do so, and they are thus properly
mixed with the saliva, and
turned into wholesome nutriment.

Tobacco.?Are you making preparations
to plant tobacco, the next
season ? If not, it is time you wero
about it. Within two or three
weeks tho seed must be sown, and
it is high time yon wero cleaning
and putting in order your land.
Several of our Buncombe and
Madison farmers during the last
year made from $50 to $100 per
acre on their tobacco. Those who
planted corn, wheat and oats to
sell, did not get $10 per acre.
Tobacco ot the last year's crop
is worth from 6ix to twenty five
cents per pound, in the ''hand."?

goods. Mr. Shelton, we learn, has
bought a considerable quantity and
paid cash.
Every farmer can plant from
two to twenty live acres. Let no
one, during the coming year, fail
to plant some at least. It will put
money in their pockets. . Good
seed?the best kind, may be bad
at this place. Any one sending us
their order for seed, will be furnished
