On Sunday last we were pnit ed to hear of the death of the estimable nnd worthy gentleman whose name heads this article. On that day near noon, he departed this life, at his residence in our place after much suffering. Of tho cause of Mr. Walker's death we arc unablo to speak, having ha I no } opportunity of learning from his medical attendants ita precise desigua'ion. The general opinion is that inflammation manifested itself in one side o his face, and continued to sprcaJ until tho glands nnd throat became s? affected as to produce quinsy. ^ The suddenness of his demise, and (lie peculiar circumstances nttending it impait to the intelligence an accumulation of pain. Mrs. Walker nnd children, save one, bad left a few days or fortnight e'nee, on a visit to her father, in Georgetown, who ] is said to be in bad health. Immediately after her do' parlure Mr. W. was taken siek, nnd continued to grow worse to the period of his death. During his illness he received tho friendly attention of various gentlemen, and had the most eminent medical skill i employed. But all in vain. The prayers of chris- I linns, the entreaties of friends, the benevolence of n niiuis community were powerless to slay the ravages of his disease. The relentless messenger of death assails in a multiform mauncr his helpless subjects, and not (infrequently in such a way as to cstabl sli the pitiless reputation he has acquired. Such the circumstance* of this distinguished gentle man's death conspire to prove. Alone, with no I wife at hand to wipe the clammy death sweat from his brow, or relievo his dying agonies by her soothing attention?with no children by his bed-side to attest their devotion to a kind and indulgent parent, with none of the cordials wh ch those standing in the nearest domestic relations could ad minister, he closed his eyes in that sleep which nothing but the thunders of the resurrection morn can break. In Mr. Walker's death the Melhrdist Church, of which he was a distinguished member, as well as onr community have sustained a heavy loos. At the last session of Conference, he was appointed to | take charge of the Spartanburg Circuit, the duties of which he had assumed. Hy his death the eir- j cult will bo deprived of the spiritual instruction of ono who was an nble and consistent christian. Of Mr. W's. ministerial lite previous to his settlement here we know but little. To his spotless character as u christian minister, and his many social virtues we testily with great pleasure, leaving the duty of nu extended notice of his life to some abler, clerical pen. SPARTANBURG FMUB AXU WOFFORB nn.iRiirs These institutions of learning, so highly commended by the press of the State will open their doors for the reception of pupils, the first on the 4tli Wednesday in February next, the other on the 21st instant. To give the arrangements in detail for collocating these Colleges, besides the best in the country would [ be superfluous as the Catalogues of each have been ! widely disseminated showing the variety and extra siveiiess of the branches taught. In the programme of the torraer, however, a new feature has bven ingrafted by the election of Rot. "W. M. Crenshaw,(of Va.,) Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. Tlie qu lifieations of the Faculty of last year, have been indorsed by us heretofore,as well as, by theCorps Editorial. I'poti the 1 .iter, we need only say that the Methodist Conference have placed the broad seal of its npproba tion.

In adverting to the WofTord College wc behold adjuncts and circumstances which inspire not only n wish but elevate the wish into a permanent be ief o! its continue 1 exi toner and prosperity. Its basin is | a fixed pcenniary ever-yielding investment.

Examine the routine of its studies, and say where is the curriculum of sconce more largely taught or more likely to ho bitter taught, from the number and names of the Faculty.

From 1? the advertisement. by the President of the Hoard r> of Trustee*, it will be aeon that Monday Inst was g the day heed (or the commencement of the session. We know not, whether the school opcued accord- f ing to appointment, but prceume, it did not, owing S to the iucleinenoiea of the weutber. In making thin I1 announcement, we are much gratified, aa Mr. Baird s excelled by none in all the qualifications requisite ii to the successful government of n school and the P rapid advancement ofits pupils.

BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. "l This is a theme of Congressional excitement. Charges have been preferred against some mornbers by a New York paper and a Committee em- U bracing our Representative, have been appointed to investigate the allegations. The Committee is com- lt posed of independent men and will no doubt, porseveringly, ferret it out. On motion of Col. Orr the field of inquiry has been widened and the powers tl: of Committee of investigation enlarged. The cor- pi ruptibility of a single member is a lamentable lact. hi The disclosures we fear will show a stato of morals that will, in nodegicc elevate the standard of na w tional morality. Politicians are very sensitive upon tii some topics an 1 fearful to repose in the hands ol the ti people some of tho power, which they have a right pi to exercise iu local elections for fear ol tho intluence 1 of bribes.

(iiAMT Pond, Spartanburg District, S. C. ^ Messrs. Kditorb. As there is considerable ex- |u citement in this portion of the district, among the I c< tax payers, in reference to the taxes paid within tiif f1 incorporate limits of the town of Spartanburg, you u will oblige us by giving this article publicity through *,> your columns, in order that it may elicit a lull ex- 1 pr position of the matter from some friend wlio is well 1,1 j i ou posted up on the same. Iir We have been informed repeatedly that the en- ef tire fund accruing from the taxable property in ! P-'1 the incorporate Inn.is o( said town, is hereafter to 1 bo applied exclusively to the benefit of the same, leaving the District to sink or sw itn on its own re- ,1, sources, and forming, as it were, two distinct com nullities. Now, wc are inclined to think that the 'c< Town and Distiiet ought to be mutually dependent, 1 IV each upon the other, nnd that the funds assessed pr from each should <uuir reciprocally to (lie benefit of both, not as n fraction, but as one entire unit, j ' This being the ease, nil sectional jealousies among us in this respect would he forever buried. We \ pr have also been informed that the District for some dv year's past, reaped the benefit of the whole tax of j J!' both District nnd Town, to the ntter exclusion of! tn the latter, this ton, we look upon as a manifest to wrong attributable, however, in a groat measure, to d?i the iieglrct of the people of the incorporation innot Wl demanding that equality which both the pcople'of t), the District,and of the legislature, would have, (we ; think1! cheerfully granted them. The hridgts of 'r' the District are very numerous, nnd the expenses 1 a" ' . , I "u of keeping tnem up quite burdensome, consequent- ' lv, the people of the Town ought not to hesimtcfor n moment, to assist us in defray tup the ah* .lute and needful expense* o( hotli D'striet and Town, 'j* We know that the pnpulntion of the incorporation, (, forms a considerable part of the population of the NV entire District, although concentrated in a rcry ,n email circuit; consequently, the taxes levied in this " small compass, would be more than adequate to its or po*. live necessities, if laid out with rigid economy, C front the fact, it* bridges are less expos.' 1 to the ravage* of inundation, than those of the H strict. We have always, heretofore regarded the people of in the incorporation as both liberal and enterprising, c' but ibis last net of engrossment really seems to sa(| | | vor of s.-lftrtlmozs and illiberalily. \S*e do not, however, presume tliat tins ordinance a I was (stablinhed at the instance of the whole popu '< hition of the Town, for it is oitr opinion that a mn- 11 jority, or nt least half of tlrCnt are willing to bear ' the expenses of Town nn?i District, together with us, "share and share alike." Hut under the pret I <iit arrangement it appears the ancient mnxim ' ' j'rivate interest mast give way to Ihe public good," has entirely l.wt its validity,nnd in this instance the R. public good is clearly yielding to what is comparn- d lively private interest*.

Now, the q lion aroae, Im?w should these votes be disposed No specific law could be found to govern the c the managers were truly in u dilemma, and most cordially sympathise with them, but so thing mutt! be dune wi ll them, and having other guide than usage or precedent, they deci that the illegal votes should be taken from tliec didate receiving the highest number, in the ag| gale. Whether this decision ol the managers right or wrong, we nre not sufficiently aequaii with tbe law to determine; but we will if |x hie, procure sufficient legal authority, by our i issue,or at least before the next elccti n,to cnlij en our readers on the subject. "Two important questions are involved in the eisioii of the Managers: The first is "What Cor tutes an illegal vote?" Is a man living in miioi District or State, but owning real estate in District, entitled to vote lor District officers in District when ill such real estate lies. The sec question is, "Hmv shall the managers dispose ?j legal votes?" Shall they be taken from the cai date receiving the highest number of voles at box where they were cast or from tlis candii wiio received the highest aggregate vole? And thcr, what legal proceedings are iiece*?.ary for Hoard of Managers to adopt, when snch votes repotted to them, after the vote* have been eoul by tbe managers ol the box where such votes v I given." froTkaTsas.
