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

City Improvements?Carolina Savings
Bank of Charleston.
The Banking Oflicc of the old firm of
George W. 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. We
