It Is onr sa'l duty again to cliron-. icle the death of one of Abbeville's . honored sons, and to note the removal of another of the cherished landmarks which connect us with earlier and better days, Ou the 2d July instant, only a few weeks after the death of his late lamented brother, the Hon. D. L. "Wardlaw, Dr. Joseph James Wardlaw quietly passed away to his rest, leaving a host of friends, and not an enemy behind. He died at his residence in Walhalla, to which place Ins failing health had caused his removal a little more than a year ago; and from the effects ot a fracture of the thigh, caused by an accidental fall a short time since. Dr. "Wardlaw1 was the son of Jas. and H. Ward law, aiul was born at Abbeville on the 29th Octpber, 1814. He was prepared foreollege under the tuition of Mr. Alpheus Baker, and, entering, the South Carolina College in October, 1831. he graduated A. " B*. in December, 1833; Ho studied medicine at Abbeville, with Dr. S. V. Cain, and ^ * J ?1 )a/v4>>^wA(\ in ^ Vi r\ ti 3XIC7KI6U lUtriltUill ItWUlCS m vnuilcston, in 2884-'5, and in Philadelphia in 1835?'G; anil,, commencing practice in Ablpeville in May ISotij soon attained a large and successful business. On the 16 th-. January 1839, be was married to Miss Mary Ann Witherspoon, the daughter of Col. James Witherspoon, of Lancaster, S. C., an estimable lady, who still survives him. In 1858 he was elected to A T fln/1 <3AI*T?All /I 11 >M n fV (ill/' iiUgiQimuiv:, iiuu ovi ivu uuiiug the Sessions of 1858 and IS50. He leaves a family consisting of a widow and seven childreu. (two soils and five daughters,) with two surviving brothel's and two sisters to mourn his loss. r, The deceased was a fine specimen of that highest style of man, the Christian gentleman. Of un Wemislrcd integrity, kind heart and affable manners, he was universally popular, and was endeared to a large circle of relatives and triends by the exercise of all the qualities which coTrfmand respect and inspire love. A skillful physician, it was at the bedside of the dying, and in the house of affliction, that these traits of character shone brightest, and in the dailv ministrations- of ai y large practice, he proved himself the attentive nurse and kind and sympathizing friend. He was long a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church at Abbeville, and tvas elected by the congregation to the office of Ruling Elder, but he declined to .serve, prompted by his own humility to think himself uniitted for the office. Few better mcniave ever lived, and none that commanded more of the .respect and love of Our people,* than Dr. Joseph James "Wardlaw, The body was brought to our town on Friday last, on the morti-j jji^ nai.i iiuui h aiujitici,- hiiu ?livi"j nu impressive and appropriate dis-j course from the pastor, the Rev.! J. L. Martin, in the presence of aj large congregation, was conveyed j to the cemetery of the Upper Lougj Cane Church, where it was interred i irf the family burying-ground.

The natal day of Artie'ricatt Independence has again been hailed, if not at the j9butli? at least elsewhere* With "bonfires and illuminations," and commemorated throughout the country by the discharge of explosive compounds? by booming cannon and popping crackers ? by gaudy processions i rt ? . i i t ana naming orations t>y day* ana pyrotechnic displays by night. On the village green, and amid *'the festal cities blaze," it has been the same "Glorious Fourth," dedicated to military display and noisy mirth. Such is the "Fourth" at the North ; but. among us of the South, the day has lost much ot its significance, and sad memories interpose as a clou,d to dim cho brightness oi Bunker Hill and Saratoga and York town* But the day we trust is not far distant, when a united North and. South will again assemble around common altars to celebrate the annual recurrence of the birth-day of American Independence. Then we can all afford tc n _ .1 J* i 1 ~ ? rorgive ana iorgei, anu uuucr n common flag, and in tb-e enjoyment of common blessings, to accord tc each other the largest liberty o1 "agreeing to disagree." Some of our contemporaries arc deprecating this annual ebullition of noisy mirth and explosive demonstration, which shocks delicate ears and sensitive nerves, and are longing for some quiet national Sabbath, dedicated to festal hymns, and tfoanfcsgiving turkeys, when a Christian man may enjoy himseli irf peace And pleasure, with nothing to disturb the serenity of hie dreams. Such days he has already in Christmas and Thanksgiving, and it would be selfish to deny to Young America his annual explosion of gunpowder, and to Old America his equally noisy and per^ haps not more sensible ebullition of pent up patriotism. The associations of the day are all military, aud with snch displays let the day continuo to be commemorated? with flaunting banners, and booming cannot), and gay processions, and warlike speeches. These ex^ hibitions are at least harmless, and may serve to keep alive the memories of that glorious past, when North a.ndJSouth stood shoulder lc shoulder on the battle-field of thf Revolution, and achieved what wag designed to be the common heriO rage of freemeiu 4 Conviction of Walwoktii'. ? The trial of young Walworth ir New York for the killing of hi? father, has resulted in a verdict oJ murder in the second degree. Neither young Walworth's countenance nor demeanor underwent any change after the delivery o: the verdict. The prevailing impression was that he would bt acquitted. The Tribune say 9 "Never, within the menriorv of this generation, has any great erimina issue been so promptly and satis factorily tried m New York/' The World says; "The severity of th< verdict indicates that the re-action of the mawkish pity which has foi so long a time b< rne sway in th( jury boxes hafi begun." The Tirnei says : "The moral etfect of the ver diet was needed, and an acqnitta would have been an invitation tc ?very youth having a dissolute oi tyrannical father to whip" him.' After alluding to the prominenl defenders of the prisoner and the scenes generally attendingthe trial, the Herald says: "The wonder is. that justice herself was not blinc on this occasion; but society haste 7 c be protected, and however cruel o? brutal, the trial was conduced ir the most exemplary manner." Tee Greenwood Female Academy.?We learn that the exercises of the Greenwood Female Academy will be resumed on the 21sl July instant, under the control o: "W. K. Blake, Esq., who by requesl has consented to assume its mana<^pent. Mr. Blake is a gentleman of fine talent9 and attainments, and we feet assured thai -under bis supervision the reputation of the institution will be well sustained. No more eligible loca* tion for such an institution exists than the pleasant village of Gueenwood, and with cheap rates oi board and tuition, it commends itself to the public patronage. D.

It is an honor to which the talents and attainments of the youthful President well entitle him, and we are sure that he will wear his laucels with becoming dignity and modesty.

"Wo aro glad to sec that our Anderson and -Oconee and Pickens contemporaries are urging the construction of this great enterprise, and are discussing the ways" and means and best routes. The importance of the work is conceded? and the only question is as to the proper route, and the best mode of obtaining the necessary subscription's. South Carolina and Geor gia will be competing parties, anu rival claims to routes East or "West of the Savannah will be strongly urged. In behalf of the South Carolina route, Anderson sets forth the great advantages of the connection wifh the Greenwood and Augusta Road. A subscription of ^250,000 each from the counties of Anderson and Abbeville, and corresponding subscriptions from Edgefield and Augusta,would guarantee the completion of ! the Ro*?d. This is an enterprise in which we are all interested, whether or not the Western connection is ever made and we trust that the matter will be kept before our people, until the work is done. The proposed meeting takes place here 011 the 13th of August, and on next Saleday we should have our delegates selected who shall represent our interests in the premises, The Assessment of Property, ?In pursuance of the Act of the last General Assembly, the assessments of both real and personal property are now progressing, and the office of our County Auditor is thronged. At the late conven" ? a __ i__ r>i_ tionot tne VQunty Aumw^B m Columbia, it was stated by Col. J. S* Filleburne, chtef clerk in -the tax department, that the total valuation of property should reaph $200,000,000 instead of the present estimate of $150,000,000 ? that two aud a half millions of acres of land had escaped assessment and taxation. Be this so or not, there is no doubt of the fact that the average assessment of land throughout the State is fifty per ceufe., and in Abbeville one hundred per cent, above its selling price. Land is assessed here at $7.32 per acre, when, for the past four years its selling price has not exceeded $4 per acre. There is no justice in' this. "The price of a thing is what it will bring/* and it is the highest oppression to put. a fictitious value upon property for purposes- of taxation. Let the County Board see that, the present ratds are reduccd, not increased. The FouftTH AT Abbeville.?The public offices wero nil closed, bul apart from tb>s tho celebration of the day was in a measure continod to the colored people.

The Doctor has v . -c y--,.

We are glad to be disenchanted, without paying the penalty, and to learn that an acre in Abbeville is worth "a kingdom in Eutopia." A better acquaintance with the "West has led to a more correct estimate and better appreciation of the advantages of our own southern home.
