It is with pain that we record the death of another member of that gallant Palmetto band whose herosm has added so much lustre and reioin'-to the name of South Carolina. The presentsubjectis our elative and friend, Joiu ELORED Snxacxs. The subjoined note, I announcing to us his death, is a handsome, truthful and feeling tribute to his memory by onewho.know t him well in all his relations in life. On another col umn may be found an objtuary notice from the pen of t gentleman of distigtin to. which we respectfully direct the reader's attention. "Dzaa Cot..: It is with profound sorrow.that I in. form you of the sudden death of -a breve Palmtto your noble and gallant relative, Jns Ei.anE SIxucss. Ile died at the residence of his brother A. A.

He was a %ivalrie ad high toned gentleman, and his best eulogy may be drawn from r the fact, that he was belovedaud respected by all who knew him, either as a soldier og private citizen.

SirmEs, Esq., now a resident of Brunswick, Ga., had nt unfortunate and most fatal renoontre with one J. W. Mooar., Esq., a member of the Legislauro of 'Georgia, on the 24th alt., which resulted in the death of the latter. A correspondent and areliable gentleman soeids us the following account t of the afray, which zoes to show that Mr. STYLEs ac ted on the defensire, and "that ho took MooRE's life -to save his own." - DBauxaswicar, Ga., Dec. 26, 1857. - Edirora of the Advertiserr GENTLEMEN, a terrible . tragedy was enacted here on the night of the 24th, resulting in the death of Jacon W. MoonE, Esq., by ,a pistol shot fired piy jour former townsman; C. Wv. -STYLES. Esq. ~ Tjme causes which led to the affacir, are' i rletly these, as I learn fronm what I deem reliable -surees, viz: A series of obnoxiean-laws -eltjg to a liruswick wore ingroduce4.inito tb( Leglsa re of t Georgia. withcouta knowledge andma oppositin to -the wishes of the citizens, tending, and in fact estab-. lishing the City Council a despotism-depriving the citizens of the right of trialhby jury in many instances 1 -.nnulling the )habet' corgjue act,-depriving the citi I sens of the right to appeal to the Superior Court--givinag council the right to imprison for non paymant ocf city ttaxes by agents, and many other ubnioxious features. Mr. STYtES was commuenitinag upon the law, and its effects, and stated, if he made any miisrepcresentation, or any one wished to reply to him, they could do so, when ho closed his remarks. Mr. STYL.F.s had spoken j but a few minutes when lie was interrupted by Mr. .MooRE, who pronnunced his state~mentd false. Tfhe lie was exchanged, and both parties shot about the same time-doubtn'I which first. Mr. MoonE's first tire did not take elfe.t, as the esp snnipped-his second was c almost simculta~neous with STry~us, and the bull lodged in the wall, ove~r STYLus heal. 'S-rYrS' second shut lodged in thous~iro of Moonr:, andic lie survived abhut hatlf nn hour. iYesterday mocrning S-rvxr.s surrenderedl himself to -the Shaerifi, under whose charge ho still remains, at the 11otel. It is expected .Judge Cochran will return 1 on Monday, when Mr. STYsES will give the required I hail.

Mr. Moon- was the busly of his lique. A. We append the following version of thme affair fromz the Brunswick JaaW That paler says, that tC. W. Styles, Esq., a candidate for Mayor of the city, 'called a meeting of the citizens on Thursdncy evening s"for the freu discussion of measures and men." lHe addressed the meeting andl was denotuncing the course .of thoe Legislature, characterizing its action relative r to Brunswick as discreditable andl fraudulent, when, says the Herald: r Mr. Moore rose from his seat, and said, "Mr. Styles, [ if you say that anything I have donec is dishonorable, yout say that which is palpably false." To this Mr. e Styles gave the lie, andl Mr. Moore respoanded in like ,minner. Mr. Styles-he being at one endl of the buildhing and Mr. Moore at the other-enclled to the persons between them to clown with their heads. The firing from revolvers then commenced. Some say that -Mr. Styles, andl sonme that Mr. Moore fired first. Mr. -James'ilouston, and some onte else it is said fired. Once ball to'ok effect in Mr. Moore's body, entering tuwards the right side, passing through a small part of the lungs and stomach, and lodging under theskin 'on the righct of the spine. IHe survived hut about an hour. -Friday morning an arrangement was ma'dc by whcich I Mr. Styles should he left in the custody of his friends till a judicial examination could be had, and he then .surrendered himself to the sheriff.

A "Happy Kewe Year" to you, Messrs Editors, and all in your SanctumW (I had -verygnearly dated this in 1857, as usual-a little mistake 'whieh..will be quito fashionablo with wr-iters generally for some days to come.)

The same good wi s~~oall-ot' your patrons whopeay ina ad ecie: ~i~ tie hernseles to the benefit of the lat me-ntouned invocation in particular. The begin. ning of a New Year is always an appropriate period for forming fresh plans and resolutions for our future guidance, and I hope that those of your friends whose osciences accuse thetm or any delinquency in comn ing up to their portion of the contract, will avail them. selves of the occasion to reform whatever is atniss, and quiet the " inward monitor," by resolving to turn over a new leaf for the ensuing year. Christums p~assed off in a comparatively dignified and orderly manner. All places of amnusemnent were thronged w idh visito'rs, and all depots of business ex ept the Post Office and the Confeetionaries, and Fire Cracker Shelps, were closed as usual. Saturday was a half-holiday, Feveral of our largest stores in King street having set the praiseworthy example of allow ig those in their employ, anoither day of recreation. A numbter of squibs appearcd in thme papers from Em pluyes, urging the appointment of Saturday as a day of Thanksgiving, in order to make it a general holi day, bitt the pturpiose of the writers was not effected, except in the individual instances above mentioned. Tie demon of Mammwon is getting so rabid a hold up. on the affections of our business world, that even the lss of the Houly Sabbath itself is considered by some as an irreparable injury to the narrow-minded inter ests of avaricious trade, and insatiate speculation. To the honor of humanity, it is refreshing to be able tojnoto some happy exceptions to this dlegrading spir it of subaservicncy to the Money-kinig. The Menagerie mad Circus have departed aifter a brief bu profitable sojourn. The Managers were very happy in hitting up a novel expedient for attract ing an unusual degree of attention to their perform. anes. A public ascension on the Tight Rope, fronm the ground floor to the summit of the Tent, was male by the Star of the Company, Madamo Leontine, daily at 2 o'clock P'. M., in the prese~eo of thousands of awe-struck spectators. She performed this difficult and hazardous feat repeatedly without accident or de lay, taking her steps with great caution and exact ness, yet with remarkable jirmnness and grace, until reaching tihe highest point of the tent, she turned and balancing herself on one foot, with a dexterity which would have done credit to the nimblest goose in any of your country subscriber's barn yards, looked down from her fearful height up~on the moving mass at her feet with an air of triumiph, and a wave of the hand which caused the air to reverberate with deafening shouts fronm all quarters. This was decidedly the best card of the season, and the immense multitudes that nightly flocked to see the wild beasts and the Old Clown, evinced the success of the hit. The Theatre has been drawing crowds to witness the brilliant representation of "Aladdlin," which, with its gorgeous scenery, dresses and machinery, is eliciting great applause and admiration. The Mana ger of Thadberg's Coneerts has been here making ar rangeents for the great Pianist, who is expected to visit us durity the present month. Fires, Burglaries and Robberies have been recorded in the public prints since my last, showing that we are no exception to the general depravity of human nature. The fires were promptly put out by the Fire men, but not so with the robbers; these cunning gen-. tryhaving in several instances made their way into and out of private houses through the windows and piazzas, without disturbing the "merry Christmas " reunions gf the inmates who were doubtless very miich "put out," on finding their silver and jewelry beauti fully less the next morning. A beautiful Yacht arrived here on Saturday last from New York, bound to the Gulf ports and Wecst Indies on a pleasure expedition, whether to Nicaragua or Liberia, the knowing ones have not yet decided positively. Fillibustering has got to be so fashionable that every expedition about to bie fitted out, squinting in the direction of " the disputed territory," is sus pected to be in league with poor Walker, who by the way, is now safe in the hands of the Philistines. In telligence of the General's capture at Havana was brought to us on Monday by the Steamer Isabel. The Steamer Fashion which conveyed him and his force to Nicaragua, had put into ilavana in lack of provisions. The American Consul at Ilavana seized tile Steamer for alleged irregularity in her papers. The Fushion brought the news that Coin. Paulding of the Unite'd concern prisoners, transferring mynen to the U. S. Sloop of War Saratoga,,to be sent at once to Norfolk Va. The General wae-sent on parole to deliver him self up; immediately to the authorities of the United States. The news of Walker's fate did not produce any excitement here. Many of our' "Young Ameri cas," have been to California, Texas, Florida, Cuba and Kansas, and'comeack home satisfied that expe ditions (!) and emigrations are not what they are cracked up to be. Fillibuering is decidedly at a discount in Charleston. The proprietors pf our Steam Work Shops and Steam Boat Lines are applying to. Council for the use of the water of the Artesian Well, which they say is less destructive to the shells of boilers, and can be af forded much cheaper than any otht water in use.

CLAUDE. TuE"NEw YOa Di BooK,.-This hold, fear less and indepeident journal is now published by Horton, Z an Evrie & Co., and deserves pub lie patronage for its true conjervatism. On the question of slavery, no paper. in the Union has done greater service to the ease of the Consti tution. Dr. Van Evrie, who, on that subject, is thoroughly posted, continues his able articles with much spirit and earnestness.-South Caro linian. A MIiE GoN.-The house of one Brook ing, at Gi iner, Maine, was burned on Satur day night-; and in the cellar, after the fire, were found 000. in gIld and silver, fused by the heat. TIe old 'm, .had been in the habit of hiding his money im- stone heaps and walls on the farm where he live; and a long stoeking full of silver coin was found in a stone heap, i1y his brother, a short time ago. At the time of the fire he had six hundred dollars in bills, and the silver and gold~found in the cellar, stowed away under the chamber floor, next the fastening. It was a sight to .behold (says a correspondent) to see the old miser frantically calling upon the bystanders to shoot him. FEMALES WArED.-The latest census of Ore gon exhibits a renfarkable disparity of the sexes, While the males number 26,000, there are only 16,000 females. This excess of males is one of the peculiar phenomena ofiour new territories. and is to be found, more or'less, in all of them. It arises from the great number of single young men who emigrate in search of better fortunes to the new' settlemes.ts, w ere land is cheap, work abundant and the uis of living easier of access. Kansas, it is said, is the most unfor tunate of all our new Pacific territories in this respect. FREE NEGUo NU~sAcN.-We congratulate the people of Oregon upon the result of the popu lar vote upon the provisions of their new Con-~ stitution, prohibiting free negroes forever from settling in that State. It will save them from one of the most abominable nuisances that cani be inflicted upon any. co-nmunity. If we conl rid Pennsylvania of a -blakh population by any reasonable personal sacrifice, we would make it cheerfully. The .Constitution of- Oregon pro. hibits paper muoney and free niggers. Happy people-glor ~ustitution.-P'hila delhia Argus. . Walker shed tears when he hauled down his fing on surrendering to the United States forces. llie states further that the Captain of the Brunswick exressed hsis intention of disloslsing Walker if the United States Commodore didl not do so, andI that WValker and his mn had resolvedto fight to the death before surrendering to the British, though they had determined to yield to the Unii ted States authorities. A mine was laid with all the spare ammsunition, and ths British were to have been hblowni to eternity. WValker was well provisioned, anid had plent'y of munitions of war. Du usie is Fi.oua.-Within the last four or five days, says the Sehina (Ala.) Sentinel of then 30th uIt.. flour has taken a cosiderable tumble dowwvar'ds in, this market, in conseqluence of~ the iimenise quantity on hand. Perlaps at ino timei sice the existence of Selnma as a town has their been msore or even us much flour ini the nmarket at one tinie as is now here. - TIhe consequense is easily to be conjectured. Flour that was selling a few weeks ago at $4 to $-1.4 per hundred, is oferd iiow at $2 25 to $2 50--and their seemis to be but little selling at these low figures. UNFIT' TO lYEv.-Patrick Slavin who wvas re ently hsung at St. John, N. B., for the murder of the Mek~enzie family, confessed that, after thie older mnemibers of that famnily had been butchered a little girl, about three years old, innocently hcld up her lit-tie doll and "oflred it to haims if lie would nsot kill her. The little insnoccnt's offerinig was refused, and the inhsumsa:. monster msurdered her ! Such an incarnate demon was unfit to taint the atmosphere. A decision of interest to the railroad travel lng public has been rendered in Boston. A ma purchsed a ticket for a certains point, iad on board the train received a cheek. 11e got off at a station on the way and stayed over one day, when lhe took another trains for Ihis destina tiou. The conductor decided that the check was niot good, it having been issued for the pre vious day, and insisted on the man again paying his fare.

A Cyruou~c PalsEs'1' BURNED TO DEArH.-A few nights aao a fire occurred at the residensce of the Rev. flenard McCabe, the Catholic pastor in a village in Fransklin county, Canada, by which that gentleman lost his life. It is sup posed the flames communicated to the bud clothes fronm a lamp. The door and casings of the room and the bedstead were completely char. red, and everything indicated that the lire had been burning for a long time, and it is more than probable that the priest was dead before the fire was discovered. The body when taken from the room was a horrible sight, blackened and burned and crisped till the flesh fell from the limbs, and one of his arms burnsed off to the elbow.

Dian at his brother's residence, near Silverton, on the 17th December, Mr. J. ELDRED SIMKINS, in the 39th year of his age. Mr. SIMKrys was one of that family of Old Edge field, which have long been noted for high tone as gentlemen, for social virtues, and for intellectual gifts. His own character and performances have added lus tre to his distinguished naume, and reputation to his State. Mr. Snutcss was among the earliest to tender his services in the Mexican War, and was enrolled in Company "D." (Brooks' Company) of the Palmetto Regiment. Vigorous and hardy, he marched and fought throughout the campnign, mingling in all the scenes of hardship and suffering, and participating in the heroic combats and splendid victories in which his gallant Regiment was engaged. The march hence to Mobile-the concentration at Lobos Island-the de harkation and capture of Vera Cruz-the dreadful tramp over burning sands to Alvarado and back, which destroyed more of the Palmettoes than the ene my's balls did-the struggle at Contrerao-the une qual and bloody. but glorious battle of Churuhusco (Portalis)-in all these Sixrss bore an unshrinking and uncomplaining part. Cheerful en route-jovial and genial in bivouac-intrepid amid the 'blaze of musketry-and withal, most unassuming and modest, he exerted the best influence on the drooping spirits of the weary, and aided to stimulate in his comrades, that display of lofty courage and indomitable tenaci ty, which won the admiration of the Army, and is now inscribed imperishably on the page of history. When General Quitman called on the Palmettoes for volunteers to join . the forlorn hope In his attack on Chapultepee, Simarxs was the first one to step out of, ranks, and called to his friends to "come on," who promptly followed the example. Among the seven Palmettoes who united in that desperate charge, through showers of balls and to the cannon's mouth, Siixxss alone escaped unhurt. Walking about while the enemy were still firing, he was asked what he was after, and to seek cover. "No," said he, "I am looking for my friend Watson, who is wounded, to give him a drink, and I'll find him if I am killed for it." le was at the causeway, at the Garita, and through the concluding drama. His Commanding General pronounced him the best soldier he had ever seen. Such commendation from Gen. Quitman, speaks the discerning officer, and the meritorious subordinate, and speaks too, an eulogium of which any soldier should he proud. To the bravery of the soldier-and no one was ever more fearless, Mr. Snixixs united those noble, social traits which touch the sympathetic chord of his kind, and command an unfaltering attachment. He was amiable, generous to a fault; true in his friendships, playful and entertaining in his intdrcourse, and ster ling in his integrity. The frankness of his nature disarmed hostility, while the qualities of his heart endeared him to a circle of ardent friends. H. CODIMERGIAL. HAMBURG, Jan. 4.
