CREMATION?BURNING VS. BURIAL Editor Press and Banner: see from the journals that a departure from the usual mode of sepulture is being agitated in some sections of the country, and the method of cremation Advocated. I was not aware until I saw it in the Columbia Phrr.nir that a distinguished citizen of this-State (Henry | "Laurens) instructed, by will, his son tol dispose of his remains in this way. J.n ; this article I wish to brine? your *s?f.rention to the opinion of another illustrious i son ol South Carolina?gifted in intellect, refined in taste and sensibilities?j besides, beloved for his great moral excellence?I mean tht; late Samuel] Henry Dickson, M. T). In the first edition of his Essays 011 Pathology and Therapeutics, pages loo, 354, and 55, we Tind the following remarks : "The sig'.js of death are thus : all of theiu, in '_ome degree, equivocal,though in the v ast majority of instances the coincidence of the greater number of R* ieT_n would leave 110 reasonable doubt the mind ot the inquirer. Before : oceeding to interment 1 would always i nit tor the commencement of deeom>sition as evinced by its own peculiar i lour. This is the only certain sign of : ;ath; and the thought of burying alive j< w a human being, is too horrible to allow j i lis to run the least risk of such an aeci- < dent. And there are, unfortunately, j too many instances on record of this mistake, to permit us for a moment to ll regard the dangsr as imaginary. Pliny ( mentions a young mau of rank, who seemingly deprived of life, was placed f on the funeral pile. The h<$it of the s liames revived him, but he perished bo- s fore his friends eouId rescue him from 1 them. The great anatomist Vesalius, liad once the inexpressible misfortune c to commence the dissection of a living i J&ady, apparently dead. Less unhappy i *\vas the late of the Abbe Prevost, who c fell apoplectic, but recovered his con- 1 sciousnesa, too late alas! under the J scalpel. Preparation having been made i i to embalm the body of Cardinal Somag- ; lia, the operator had scarcely penetrat- ? ed into the chest, when the heart was Been to beat. Tho unfortunate patient, 1 returning to bis senses, bad still suftt- t cient strength to push away the knife i r\f t.liA SnrcfAAM -hnf flia lim?r J"* mortally wounded, and he died misera- t bly. The individual appointed by the r French Government to superintend the i removal of bodies from one of the prin- i cipal burying grounds of the capital, re- 1 ported that he had found many of the'i skeletons in postures which demonstnit-j t ed tlieir having efl'ectcd motion and pjir-'t tial turning after interment. Would toj( lieaven that the good seuse of mankind |c would lead the eivilteed and Christian |( nations to resume the ancient and classical practice of burning the bodies of the dead. There is surely something shocking in the very idea of inhumation. It t is, I confess, revolting to my own mind j 0 iii the highest degree, to remember that I custom dooms me ] "To lie in cold obstruction?and to rot:! r This sensible, warm being to become A kneaded clod." But there is a much better argument than that derived from mere feeling, against the mode now universally prac- ' lined in disposing of the human corpse.; p Upon the funeral pile we reduce to a heap of innocent du?t, that which i 11 a few days will be changed into a mass of putrefaction, tainting the air and spread- w ing around it, if taken far away, horror and pestilence. "VVliat matters it that = we are at present able to remove it to such a distance and to hide it so com- __ Dletelv that it attVcts our senses neither of scuse nor smell;1 although we have inot succeeded, if we may believe thc.bi statements of several respectable wri-1 n ters, Walker and Ohadwick among them, in obviatingtlit; deleterious iuflu- * -enees of its putrefaction upon thriving, ^ "who breathe the neighboring atmosphere affected by it. The more conceal-! -went of the decaying remnants of mor- L tality will not always be in our power. H Tbe "city of the tombs" is already niorcj;U 'crowded with inhabitants than the busy atreets of Constantinople,* the catacombs. ^ of Paris and tbe cemeteries of London! are filled to overflowing. Nay, certain facto -Ptat'jd, recently with regard to the1, , grounds of two of tne cities cfj this; ttev world-, would lead us to doubt whether similar evils were quite so distant from out* apprehension as might i J have been imagined, from the compara-j m live sparseness of population in our im- j bi inense extent of territory. tit Xiow much better, then, for the cold'ac nnd clainmy clay, and the noisome grave- j (.? yard, to substitute the polished vase, the |d< marble urn, in which we may preserve iP deposited the relics of "'all that ourlp< souls hold dear," and dwell upon the i ty remembrance of our friends withemo-jij tions of tender mclancholy, mingled IF With no gloomy iileas of recoiling dis-j \\ gust. Their ashes may thus become the: E inmates and the ornaments of our habi- j tii tations; and their constant presence _ may serve to over-awe from what, being ~ evil, would have been frowned upon by ihem when living, and to encourage us to those good actions which we feel would have deserved and met with their approbation." fr You thus perceive, Mr. Editor, thai this distinguished man, lis far back as 1845. when his work was nubiished. Bi heartily and earnestly advocated crema-1O :tion *s far preferable to our usual mode 0 of sepultere. Many persons would sayiH that they could not brook the idea ofjJ buttling the remains of wife or child or II other friend. How much more harrowing and appalling the lingering doubt over the death of such relative or friend! Much might be written pro and con a* ? to the proposed change, besides serve to illustrate the truth of the old adage, "Z>c ffimtibus tton est disputandutn" -etc. We hope the above article will ^elicit some inquiry and investigation from your numerous readers. ^ 2 CIVIS.

Williams & Co., corner of Hayncauu Church .Streets, is undergoing a thorough overhauling and remodeling, to make accommodations for the Carolina Sctviiir/s Battle of Charleston, which has been recently chartered by the .State Legislature. The work is under the skillful superintendence of J. H. Devereux, Esq. We learn that it is the intention of Messrs. Williams A: Co. to transfer the Banking Department of their extensive business to the new Bank, which will be put into operation with ample capital at an early day. The Banking House fronts 011 Church Street, and is in the Centre of the block between Hayue and Market Streets, which has for so many years been the scene of commercial activity. The ap- ( proach to the Bank will be through a neat vestibule, in which is located one of tlie vaults of tin* Institution. The apartments to be occupied by tiio Officers we finished with taste and convenience. . .The Cashier's Room is lighted and veil- f tilated from the sides and ceilings. The ' spacious Directors'Room is on the secjnd tloor.of the J lay no Street building; it will be fitted with the conveniences r )f a commercial library, maps, charts, pmd the like. S The mechanical work in progress re lccts credit upon the energetic l)cver- / ,?ux Brothers. * It is understood that the Senior of the ^ inn of Geo. W. Williams & Co. is to be it the head of the new Institution. Joseph R. Robertson, Vice-President, and iYilliam E. Breese, Cashier. Mr. Williams is known to be one of >ur mostactive and successful merchants mi! <1 cumninns nriifjpnt, financier, liav ng been for more than ti quarter of a r entury connected with some of the L eading Banks u:;d Railroads of the South. Mr. Williams' long experience n the management of finances is a guarintee that lie will make the Carolina savings Bank a success. Increased ca])ital and cheap Railroad 'reights are greatly needed to develop lie superior commercial advantages and nanufacturing interests of Charleston. So investment lias proven so profitable since the war as money used in JJanking. Hie high rate of interest, however, has lot only been a hindrance to the comneree of Charleston, but has also borne leaviJy upon the agricultural and manifacturing interests of the State.
