Prostrated on n bed oi ulcknesson Thursday last with pneumonia, a disease to which his weak lungs rendered lilm peculiarly liable, he was unable to rally, nnd before the hour hand pointed to twelve on Saturday night, his spirit had winged its flight to the Immortality beyond the grave. Possessing naturally a delicate constitution, lie was not regarded u stout tnan, though the bleasant smile which he usually wore upon nls face seemed to indicate g'?od health. Capt. Johnson was a native of Tennessee, lie enlisted us a soldier In the Confederate Army and gallantly served in his country's rause. After the war. in common with many other soldiers from Tennessee, he preferred liot to return home where he would have to encounter the persecution which inevitably 8 waited the Confederate soldier at the hands of Union sympathizers. Having been happily wedded to MKs Honchillon of Abbeville County, he moved to Due West, where lie has resided ever since. At the time of his death he was the popular proprietor of the PhoMiix Hotel. He leaves behind him a wife and an interesting family of children, ('apt. John on was an excellent citizen and was unusually popular.

If tiiere can j e we confess we would like to know who ho i f I When we first learned t hit a number of "the | iV oys" of the town were staying over at the : J. all of nights to guard the prisoners, we nut it ; " p that It was simply a iw of the Sheriff,!', horn we knew to be fond of company and j" name <r&whist. ami who w.is probably suffer-1 , in from an attack of the gout (which we be- ! eve he sometimes has) and consequently I i>uld not sleep, to pet some of the young fel-1 ows about town to no over, lor company, and {' tint it would only be kept up for a few nlgnts.
