D. WurI.KE.-We were pleased to meet last evening Maj. Wilkes, who has just ar rived from Kansas. He reports the country quiet, and says the Abolitionists have all been driven out.

Niw YouR HoRsEs AND THE EuEFEoE o1 Faxe.-Flying along the Boulevards and through the Champs Elysee., may be seen a pair of beautiful bay horses attached to a fine carriage, in which are seated the Emperor Napo leon and the Empress.

Attention is asked to the out standing circular of Ma. Broos, Teacher of Dancing, who proposes to In struct a class at this place forthwith. We have been wishing and. publishing for just sbch an individual some months past, and now hete he is. The oppor tunity should not be neglected by those who think it worth anything to their children, to acquire grace of movement and ease of manners. Mtr. B. brings highly satisfactory letters from pertons wh6 have tried him, and for whose taste we can vouch. Ma. B's School, we are requested to state, will open on Saturday Morning next, at 10 o'clock, A. M. instead of Thursday as advertised in his Circular. OUR LAW COURT. The Fall Term for Edgefield is in progress, his Honor Judge O'NEALL pre-iding. On Monday a great number of citizens were in attendance. The Judge took immediate hold of the business before the Court and is pushing cases on to their termination with his accustomed promptitude and decision, There has not been the usual amount of sueing, nor are there many cases of importance to be tried. THE GREAT SHOW. The handbills and placards are up for the great Southern Circus. Look out, all ye who love fun and display! Wednesday, the 22nd instant, is the day. Stand about, Mr. Merriman! RABBIT-WOOL CLOTH. We have seen a remarkable piece of cloth, made by a lady in the Dark Corner, of Rabbit-wool. It is woven in superior style, and is of soft, full texture, very stiong and very comfortable. It will go to the State Fair and take a premium -we think. THE SOUTHERN LIGHT. The October number of this Magazine is a' excel lent one, abounding in well-prepared original articles and tasteful extracts. We congratulate Mr. WI ATL.EY upon his accession of contributors and upon the gene ral improvement of his columns. There is no mistak ing the fact, that he has made rapid strides forward since the issue of his first number. If his progressive march for the next six months shall equal that of the past six, his success will surely be placed beyond all doubt. God speed our brother in his spirited and use ful undertaking! May he meet an abundant reward for his labors, in hundreds of good paying and reading subscribers! He richly merits the patronage of a liberal public; and we hope that public will co1-e promptly to the aid of one who has proved himself entirely equal to the task he has undertaken mainly for the public good. DEATH OF WV. R. TABER, Jr. Our readers are already acquainted with the mel anchtoly manner of this gentleman's death. On our outside, will be found the correspondence connected with the affir of honor which termin~tted in a manner so fatal to himself and to the hopes of tise many friends. He fell at the third fire, shot through the head ; and expired, as we learn, almost immediately. The universal expression of our community wa~s one of deep regret and unaffected pain, upon learning the truth of this most sad event. Many of us knew Mr. TABER personally, and many more1ggg the column. of the Charleston Mercury. His fall was to us all, like the fall of a friend; and, far as we are from imagining that blame cart be imputed to his gal lant adversary, we yet drop the tear of sorrow over the bier of the talented, the chivalrous deceased. For one, we ha:ve scarcely words to express the shock which this mouriffut intellhgence gave us. The Press of the State has here lost one of its most brilliant ex ponents, and the State itself one of tier best, truest and most promising sons. H~e goes not unlamented to his grave. No young man, we hesitate not to say, has ever fallen in Sotth Carolina more regretted thtan lie of whom we write this brief and inisuflicient tribiute. Embalmed be his memory in the b -arts of his cotemn poraries ! OUR TRIP TO NINETY-SiX. It was a deli ghtful one indeed. At eleven o'clock A. M. on 'lThursday, we reached Fruit Hill, tsn nmile above our Village, andI found the Edgefield firats, Band already there arid in full blhast, awaiting the, arrival of stragglers. Our Ihono rable Senator, Judge BUTLEa, had happened to drop in at the manie lplacs on his way up, aind they were playing for himt, whetn we came in hearing, "ihe Old Folks at Ilome," a great favorite by the way with the Judge. In a little while we were all on the line of march, the oldt Senia tor in the lesid. -,Thae whole party had insijstedl upon his continuing in company with thienm for the dany.) At STtnax's cool well, the cavaleade drew up toe water and--never mind what else. Oil' again in a trice. At Mr. TOst PAYNE's fence, beneath an oak tree's brown shade, anothuer halt wvas called, anid alt hands took out their respective contributions to the general lunch, whicht was duly washed down by some genial "Peach" kindly brought to us by the hospitable owner of the premises. Again to the road. In less than twenty minutes we had stoped one more, this time in front of the magnificent residence of Mrs. Baooxs, the mother of the man who thtrashed Suit NEa and backed out BUaLIxoAMtE. Ihere, alter a musical variety, a superb treat of generous liquors awaited the party, which was appreciated to the fulL by our thirsty men. At this point the Judge left us, and the rest proceeded to their quarters for the night, some with General DUNovANT, some with Major ADDrsoN. In the evening, we serenaded South Caro lina Baooxs, had a fine time of it, returned to our lodgings late, slept soundly for five round hours, arose refreshed, and prepared for the big day of which we make mention elsewhere. CHINESE SUGAR MILLET. Mr. RICHARD PErIas, of Atlanta, Ga., has sent us a sample of his syrup, made from the Chinese Sugar Millet. It is rather peculiarly-tasted, but quite a pal atable article. Mr. PETrls was induced to experi ment with this Millet by the circumstance of his chiil dren making the discovery that the cane of it was as sweet as the genuine sugar-cane. A fter a trial of one or two years, lhe pronounces the opinion that it will prove to be a crop highly advantageous to Southern farmers ; that it will not only enable them to make their own molasses, but to manufacture also sugar for ex port. The cost of making the syrup does not exceed ten or fifteen cents per gallon. Now that sugar and molasses are ranging at such egregious rates, would it not be well for us all to turn our attention at once to the Chinese Millet ? Next week, we will publish, in fll, the Circular of Mr. Pz'rzas, in regard to this in teresting matter. THE MATHKIS ROAD Is assuredly one of the best roads in Edgefield Dis trict. We drove over it, from PAYNE's to SrRaoru ia's, last Friday night, in less than two hours (dis tance 12 miles) without grazing a stump or hitting a root. That Commissioner of Roads up there deserves credit, for this much of his department at all events. Some of the little drains across the road are too ab rupt; but as a whole it is a pleasant way to travel over. What a route for a railroad ! Who has ever seen a ridge more exactly adapted to such a purpose ? From Lost's to Greenwood, not a stream, not a valley. Many years ago, we heard Mr. CALUoUN say that this would certainly be (some day) the line of a great Railroad; and, the Greenville & Columbia Railroad, the Savannah Valley Reed, and all other obstacles, to the contrary not-withstanding, we belelve that pl'akla.c will 'eonen tone'1e THE RROOKB DIINER.' The Dinner, given on Friday last in honor of our Congressional Representative, was a complete success. The number of persons present was variously estima ted at from five to eight thousand. One gentleman, who attended the King's Mountain Celebration, re marked that he thought the crowd at '96 equal to the one which assembled on that occasion; and this we believe was put by some at ten thousand. The re porters of the 3rd, however,agreed upon 6000 as a fair estimate. The day was a bright and agreeable one, tihe place selected for the dinner extensive and well-arranged, the stand for speaking admirably located at the foot of an inclined plain thoroughly shaded by a grove of handsome oaks, the stand Itself amply and strongly built, tire barbecue pita in the background skilfully manned and managed, and every thing conducted from the start in the most remarkable good order. This indeed was kept up throughout the day; for down to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we had not heard a drunk en whoop, nor seen a drunken face. By 10 o'clock almost all had arrived on the ground, eager to witness the entire ceremonies of the occasion. A little after that hour an avenue of human beings was formed, from the '6 Hotel to the Stand, some two hundred yards in length and from two to five thick on either side. Th-ough this living street, Hon. PaSTON S. Baooxs, arm in arm with Gov. ADAMs and attended bya number of distinguished guests, ap proached the platform at a 1 to 11, the whole cortege preceded by the Edgefield Brass Band and directed by Maj. Z. W. CARWILE, acting Chief Marshal of the day. Thein came the rush of the vast multitude towards the centre of attraction, and forthwith the exercises and actings of the hour commenced in good earnest. After a few appropriate introductory remarks by Dr. CAIN, President of the Day, General SA31UELI Mc GOWAN advanced to the desk and delivered, in a most impressive manner, the Oration the Committee.of Ar ratrgements had devolved upon him. It was altogeth er the happiest effort we had ever heard from this gen tleman, and produced a marked effect upon his im mense audience. He spoke of the gratitude, so strong ly manifested by the passing demonstration, as the rightful meed'of a faithful representative. He drew a distinction- between the personal compliment It oon. veyed and its bearings as a solemn duty imposed upon a spirited constituency. He ably sketched the history of the Slavery agitation, in the course of which he alluded in truly eloquent terms to the war which brought us new territory from Mexico. During his comments upon the Kansas-Nebraska bill, a voice from the crowd exclaimed-" LAt us fight"--repeating the expression several times with vehemence. le spoke of the present Presidential struggle, and, in regard to our duty in the matter, remarked--" While we shall certainly cast our vote for BUCHANAN, as a worthy standard-bearer of the sound democracy, we n"ill also war to the knife against that mixed rabble of Free monsters, Freesoilers, Free-negroes and Freebooters, who would blast and blacken in ruir.s the fair fabric of American Liberty."-This sentiment was warmly received. General McGowAx further depicted the SUMNER afliir in a manner at once feeling and graph ic ; and, its conclusion, presented to Cot. Baooxs a splendid golden goblet front the citizens of Abbeville, a massive ,-ilver one from Laurens, and several sticks , from other sources. Other test im:mrials were pretented by other gentlemen. . We understand that a pair of elegant duelling pistols were on the ground for the Cot/s acceptante ; but this was manrrged in private. After Gen. McGow.t's address and tihe presenta tion of complimentaty gifts, Hon. P. S. Unootcs made hisappearanct upon the front part of the platform, andi wva' received wvithr shouts an'i' hnuzzasn of enthusi. asric. Mutch affected by this unmnista keable manifs tationm of a most heartfelt approbation, ihe began his spe-cih rn words of gratitude whrichr' his dleep emotion scarcely allowed him to exptress. But gradually warm ing with thes thoutghrts that fi'lled Iris bosom, he at lengthr took up Iris tr::inr of argurment and forr mnore thanh an hrorr enchrained'the attetion of Ihis htearcrst in one of Ihis best atnd miost tasteful efforts. We'hIave before us mnanry notes taken down at thre time; but, fearing w'e should do injustice to the speaker by arty mreagsre reprort of Iris remaks, we will not ntow mrake use of thretm. In tire conclutsion of hIs spreechr, Cul. Raoons said: "Tire crisis is indeed utpon usa. Thre plans of Black Republicanism arc laid for ourr ruin and degra tion before thre world. Anrd, my fellow-citizens, will yqu submit to threir rulei No, you wvili no t.

Tire stenographetrs ceased to take notes, tire crowd drew cloiser and closer togetire'r, tire babblers on tire outskirts stopped talking, even tihe ladies' fans became motionless, antd all were intent upon tire fine features anrd flowing oratory of thre great Georgia Senator. In tire wordis of onre whio listenetd to hrim with absorbed attention, hre tmade " more ten strikes in a quarter of an hrour titan arry man ever did beforre in South Carolina." To see and hree hrim was a hrighr gratification to all present ; and thousands will re-welcome Georgia's distinguishred son to our midst, if ever circumstances shrall induce him to miake one of us again. Dinnrer was now proclaimed, anrd tire necessary businress of eating at once commenced. Four tables, eachr one hundred yards long, wvere in readiness for tire multitude generally; while three othrer tables in a diffenrnt part of tire grournds awaited tire ladies, threir attendants andi tire invited guests. Tire feast was abundantly and superbly prepared. Every one had enough, and all were satisfied. It was, in fact, a noble barbecue, munificently provided and throroughrly cooked. At tire bidding of Mr. COOrER, tire chrief superintendant of the cooking tdepartment,we walked. up and down tire extensive pits just as evenythring was nearly done. Never have we looked upon a more glorious display of brown smoking meats, never' snuffed an atmosphrere more heavily frraughrt withr hrighrly-seasoned odors, never saw a display of the kind so remarkable for its superabunodance and excellence. But dinner is ended, and our beloved Senator, Judge BUvTaE, occupies tire stand. The Judge ditd not essay to make a regular speech, reserving himself, as he said, for some othrer occasion. He would drop a few reflections at present, but withr out enlarging. After allusions to the general politics of the day, Ire camne to the question-" If Fremont he elected, what thren 1" Hlespoke ofmthe moan. He con temned him in every lighrt. " By birth a Georgian, [Mr. Toomias, " No, no!"] by education a Carolinian, by trade a Black Republican, and in his life a Cos mopolite, ire Irad never done anythring to entitle him to a stand of any prominence whatever before tire country. lie hrad never filledi a single civil post of any consequence. He hrad never hreld a military of fice from which Ire was not disissed. lie had never fought a battle-hrad never done anything of note, ex cept, perhaps, his crawling over the Rocky Motto taine as an adventurer. if suchr a man were elected, who, at the South, would accept his offices i Whro execute his edicts I What then ?" The Senator here leetiongthe GovernoWf'rtlie'several Southern States -all their Legislatures together to take counsel of duty nd principle in the emergency. He was averse to g ,onnecting bloodshed and civil war with any separa- N ion that might becotselmecessary. He was for tak ng the high ground of Right and acting out our part with the elevated calmness of a great people wisely maturing great ends. .'But he was still for prompt and :flectual action. The Judge's remarks were, as usual, forcible and pertinent throughout.- The lateness of the hour, how- c ever, prompted him to cut them short, with the prom ise of expressing himself more fully before his return to Washington. After he had taken his seat, one common call for Covernor ADAMsarose On every sile, towhich his Ex. cellency yielded with the ease and grace so natural to him at all times. Stepping to the. rostrum, he de livered a really beautiful speech, not exceeding 15 minutes in length, btt just the thing from beginning to end. The wearied assembly were again electrified, and the day ended as it had begun, spiritedly and en- i thusiastically. Much more would "ve say; but our space is filled. OUR TRUE COURSE. A great issue in American polities is about to be determined,-an issue with which the dearest rights I and most valued interests of the Slaveholding States are directly implicated. It is the issue between Justice and Aggression, between the Constitution and a Higher Law, betweeg Patriotism and Fanaticism, between the South and the North. For many yearn this issue has been forming itself into life. For many years sagacious statesmen have warnedthe country of its dangerous tendencies. Some have heeded these premonitions; while with many they have been as seed sown upon stony grotnd, soon trodden down I and forgotten. But, heeded or not, that issue has gone I on increasing in magnitude, until now its point of culmination is nearli reached and its solution is at hand. Happily for the South, her people are at last awa king to the nearness and importance of the struggle that approaches. Throughout the length and breadth of her borders, the alArm notes of her political senti nels are sounding to the rally. From Virginia to Texas, a mighty upheaving of her proud spirit is be ing manifested. Old party distinctions are rapidly merging themselves in the one great end of southern saity. And the time has come, so long hoped for, In which the hearts of our people are beating In unison for the cause of Southern Rights. Our true course, is to greet these indications of in. creased affiliation among ourselves with joy, and to foster:our southern friendships into a permanency which nothing shall hereafter be able to shake. It is, to bond our main enorgies to the important business of Southern unanimity. It is, to shun home dissen sions. It is, to look-4Ut, each Southern State upon every other, with concern and regard. It is, to shape our policy, each towards the other, in the spirit of confiding brotherhood. It is, to beleive and to feel that ne are one people linked by a common destiny, and that we must survive or perish together. It is, to sacrafice, each Southern State for the others, any pe culiar political preferencesof minor consequence which may have the effect of retarding the concentration of Southern power in or out of the existant confederacy. Mad indeed is the policy, that would counsel any agitation in our Southern ranks likely - to distract the minds of our people from that one great desideratum upon which our common enfety depends; the mere thorough cementing of those strong bonds of interest and consangifinity which should (and will if properly observed) make us as one man in thought, principle and action. Especially with us of South Carolina is it a duty, not more solemn i itself tihan It is indispensable to the success of our Southern 6atnse, to scan and scruti nize our every step, our every demonstration, our eve ry suggestion, with this most careful reference of each one of them to the test of Southern npprohation. The reputation at'aches to our State of being hot-headed andl impetuous fur what she conceives to be her rights. We have seen that, in acting otit those impulses on one or two occasions,"she has hiad the misfortune of attmping extremes whichx failed to receive ite sanc lin of her Southern pdsters. Whether she or they wvere wrong, is not take discussed. It is enough for us to know that we f iled -,and that, hoawever high may btand our c iO lnry of spirit, the pres tige of prudence is not'ours in suflict prefection to constitute South Carolina thse proper leader in the mighty battle I efore us. Let our energies and enthu siasm then be given to the work of a concerted and perfect co-operatio.n at the South. That work Is now. rapidly goingt forward in every part of our Section. It is ours to watch it in a condition of entire prepared un-s, that when the time shall arrive to strike for equality or independence, we may second the first blows of our conufcderates withI power and effect. In thec mean time, let uts not b~e inactive. or inatten tive to matters as they e!.ist around us. We see our Sotuhernt co-states engaged in what --ay be a last fi;ht for the Union as our fathers madte it. We see them marshalling their strength fur the uplifting of an Admtiniistraion which stands committedl to sustain the Constittutional Rights of the South. It is not for it< tat feel indifference to this effort, or to refuse our tfail symnpathies with thea hopes and expectations of our fiils in t his conutest. The Southern States, without exc-ption, are atbiut to cast thteir voites for JAutss honaxas:i i and in daitig so, they calculaite iuon groat aid troits rerulthls. it woubi bIIe neilter wise noar graceful in .othl f'talina even tot seem to witlbhlatl het'r co-i.tra tin, in thne prme.

Becaaso wve greeted the an notncement that Direct Taxation was to become one of the Democratic planks for the future, and that too utder ite auspices of Qurra, the Engairer speaks of us as a political sentimentalistjif not a faint.hearted Secessionist. We take our pen simply to tell our goodh brother. that we are neither thie one nor the other. We are what the danugers of the day anal the energencies of the counttry make us--a Sothtern Democrat, willing to war with Southern Democrats for the best we can get. Make us a palpable issue, ad the Secessionist. of '52 (of whom we were one) will not wvait for a lesson in prompt action from the Yorkville Enuirer. But until such an isesue is pre sented, we prefer to lay hol on every hope that arises in the agitated political sea around us and to make the most of it. If Reform can correct the abuses of our Government, we hesitate not to say chat we still prefer it to Disunion. And if this sentiment shall chapce to jar upon the revolutionary chords of our ctemporary's heart, we can only refer him for an explanation to I lhe ardent love of Constitutional lib erty which made us a South Carolina Secessionist in '52, anal makes us a Southern Democrat in '56. THE CAMIBRIDGE LANDS AND CROPS. These elegant lads are certainly not doing them selves justice this season in the article of cotton. We call them elegant, because they are at once beautiful nd fertile. Some one ham pointed them out as the future garden-spot of South Carolina. We doubt not their justifying the prediction if properly cared for. The corn crop upon thent the present year is most abundant ; and the small grain crop has been good. Bt the cot ton, though large enough, is badly bolled and cannot make anything like a full yield. The old Cambridge country is certainly capable of greet things fet; and we must believe it is now in the hands of planters who will draw out thte full strength of Its re sources. Deep culture, careful ditchting, skilful ma nuring, and judiciouts treatment in the progress of erop-making, would, we honestly believe, place it in twenty years upon an equality with the red Marengo lands of Alabama. We observed several old fields, 1leared long before the Revohution, again underfence ad produclnghandsuuely saiIhouthelp.

EDITOR: We do not object to any one, on ecount of an honest difference of opinion with our elves, in any particular whatever. We appreciate mr friends none the less, because they do not agree vith us in every thing. All men have the right of hinking and acting for themselves, in an honost iiinner, and hence, we would not fall out with hose who honestly differ with us in opinion, as it egards a division of our District; but we do, in he most positive terms, reject those nilk and Nater characters, who have no decision of character Nhatever, but are continually fluctuathig and ohang ng, to suit surrounding circumstances, and to so .omplish some demoniacal purpose in the destrue Ion of others. A writer, of the milk and water .lass, no doubt, in a recent number of the Adver iser, has charged the whole Saluda regiment of insincerity in the Division movement; whose mani rest design is to sever the Division party, and, if possible, to throw discord and confusion into our ivhole.party. We pity the man-and treat hin, with that contempt he deserves--that would openly harge upon the whole Saluda regiment a thing that every one knows to be false. It is known, and needs no proof, that wo are fully identified with the people of the lower extremities of the District, who esiro a Court House at Aiken, in the division pro ject. Our memorial fully demonstrates this fact, nd our plan of division, as published, corroborates the same. We have even been willing to unIte with the upper and lower extremities, in the Dis trict, in the division movement always leaving old Edgefield an ordinary District, and we pledge our selves to our friends in the upper part of-the Dis trict, to assist them, when desired, in what we be lieve would greatly conduce to their happiness and prosperity, namely: A District composed of the lower part of Abbeville and upper part of Edgefield, with a Court House near the centre. Edgefield, Abbeville, and Barnwell, all should be divided, if desired, for they are all too large to answer the pur poses for which they were intended. Saludians re member your ancestors. BIG CREEK. Brooks Dinner Letters. We begin this week the publication of letters re ceived from gentlemen invited to the late Dinner at 96 Depot. LETTER FROM HON. J. M. MASON. SELMA, Frederick Co., Va., %9th Sept., 1856. Messrs. Arthur Simkins and others, Committee: GENTLEFt.N: I have had the honor to receive your letter of the 13th inst., inviting me, on behalf of the constituents of Col. PRESTON S. Baooxs, to a dinner to be given to him by thsem, on the 3rd of October next, in " testimony of their complete endorsement of his Congressional course." It has been my good fortune to have enjoyed the acquaintance of your able and justly honnred Repre sentative, on terms both of social and political inter course, from h~is entrance into the House of Represe atives-and I knowv of none whose public career I hold more worth~y tihe full and cordial approbation of his constituents than Ihis. lie has shown himself alike able and prompt to sus tain tire rights and tire interests of his constituents in delate and by vote ; or to vindicate in a different mode, ad under circumstances of painful duty,ghle honor of his friend. I would gladly, therefore,unmte with you, were it in my power, in the testimonrial proposed by his generous constituents ; but regret that tihe distance which, separates us, and my engagements at home, must forbid it. Perhaps it may not be unacceptale, in closing this letter, to say a fewv words to my fellow citizens of Edgeield District, whom you represent, on the con dition of the country. None can mistake, or, in the Soth, can remain in senible to the times that are upon us. Thre issue (until now averted) hietween a numerical majrity on thse one side, and sworn faith to a written compact on the other, is about to be tried. TIhe Sou thern, States represent tire minority, boths in States a nd in people, on this issue. Not their property alone, but their thonor and safety are at stake on the result; for I look on the pending election of a President in teresting chiefly to the South, as it will be a type of otiiinin andl purposse at time North. Reason and argu mnt are exaus nted-wC have, done wh~atever lay n ith, us to bring thme majornity bac-k witin thre pate of conm stitutional power ; and can now only await thre popu har vote. Shomuld it tbe foundi to stand by, arnd to uph'.ld the Comstitutionm, tihens we shmould on-e imore look forward with coniidence atnd hsope to thse continuance of a Union established ins mtutal andl patriotic sacrifices, and savin~g its sanction in fraternal fasiths. But in reverse of all this, should a dominant see tionl vote, the directed to bring inrto powter, those pledged in advance to break down thme harriers inter posed bmy thre compact of federatiomn, for tihe security of one sections against the other; then, in my calmest judgment, but one course remains for time Sooth: Immediate, absolute, and eternal separation. Better, far better, to stand toward tihe Northern States as wve stand to tire rest of th.. world-" Enemies in wvar, in peace friends"-than to remain halting under a com mon government, enemies, under the guise of peace, or friends at war. Again regretting, gentlemen, that I cannot be with you, I am, wvith, great respect, Your Friend and Servant, J. M!. MASON. LETTER FROM HON. 3. HI SAVAGE. SatmTrtvtLL E. TE.NN., Se pt. 27, 1856.

P.'and Mrs. CAROLINE MicKLER, aged I year, 7 months and 12 days. Greve not, bereaved parents, for your fondly cherished babe is safely housed in heaven, and swells the band of kindred spirits, that anxiously await the hour when they can welcome you to the joys of the paradise above. "Life is a span, a fleeting hour How soon the vapor flies! Man is a tender, transient flower, That e'en in blooming dies." ' MhI.IssA. DIED, on the 1st inst., Mr. OSBURNHOWLE, son or EDWARD and ELIZABET HOWE, aged 19 years and about three months. ie was a strict member of the Baptist Church. A little more than a year ago he professed reli gion at a protracted meeting, at Red Oak Church, and joined the holy band, who, are making their daily progress to that place which is prepared for all who do God's will. His death is lamentable indeed I He was in the bloom of youth and a natural vigorous constitution, of amiable disposition, possessing a flow of spirits which bouyed him above and made him regardless of most little vexatious incident to every one, and which rendered him a pleasing and agreeable com panion, and endeared him to all who knew him. Possessing habits of the strictest sobriety, and In defatigable in all the pursuits of life as a son,he was always willing to obey the commands of his bereay ed parents, and as a brother kind and af'ectionate. He has gone in the morning of life to a prema ture grave. He has closed his earthly career as It were in its very commencement. He has been taken by an All-wise providenee from the midst of his affectionate relatives and companions, to the un tried scenes of another world. He has been thus out off as if to afford to his young associates a strik ing example of the uncertainty of the fairest pros pects and the sensibility of the most substantial earthly enjoyments. The writer of this notice was with him during the greater portion of his illness. He was never heard to murmur or complain, but endured his af flictions with christian firmness. His burial was attended by as large a concourse of people as has ever been known in this vicinity -conclusive evidence of the esteem in which he was held by his associates. We will conclude this token of respect, by re marking that we are unable to do justice to the memory of our departed friend ; that the recollec. tion of him will ever be fresh in our memory; that his death has produced a vacuum that can never be fully supplied. " Yes! he sleeps in the land of his birth, And calmly he rests beneath the cold earth; Yet his memory's enshrined in each friendly heart, Tis cherished so fondly that it will never part." A FR[END. DIED, in this District on the 24th Sept. Mrs LAURA A. HUGHES, consort of DAVID 0 HUGIIES, aged 31 years and seven months. The decensed united herself with the Baptisi Church at Dry Creek, two years previous to hel denth,, where by her amiable Christian-like deport mont she honoured her religious profession. At though she laboured for some length of time previoun to her death under the effects of that disease, mos tatal to the human race viz: Consumption, yet oh bore it with Christian fortitude, even without murmur; and a little while before her spirit tool its final exit from earth she addressed her littl< daughter thtus: " Daughteor, your Ma is dying soon you'll have no mother;" and also to her Ia mnenting husband, " Weep not for me, fur I arl going to be happy." Site leases a husband and four children beside many relations and friends to mourn her loss. " She sleeps in JTesus and is blest, .How kind her slumbers be, From sufferings, and rroin sin released And from every snare set fre. DerAa'ren this life on the 30th of Sep't.
