At:d whethor .6br. O'stRv-of South. Carolina would recommend or opposo itsadoption,<h"a:i also been, of lato, very considerably di;cussed. Tho latter question, at least, is entirely.laid upon Ihc tablo by the f-d lowfnft tclt:gr?p!iicdespatch from Mr. DEFOXTAINE of the Ctiluuibi.t Simth 'Carolinian. We clip it fr->ui the Augusta Contt'luduualitt of the 2Sth instant: COLUMBIA, S. C., October 27. Governor Orr has authorized thc South Caroli nian to say that he is uttsrly and unequivocally opposed to the Constitutional Amendment, and will uot rocoiu.uend its adoption by thc Legisla ture of South Carolina. F. G.DEFQNTAISE. This Constitutiontd Ameudment, which must be ratifiod and adopted 'JV tho Legislatures of of two-thirds of the States of tho Union before it eau become a liiw of the land, consists of a dingle artic Io divided ir.to different scciuns. "Wo enum?rate its objects as briefly as maybe. The object of the first sccion is to incorp?ralo into the organic law that all parsons born or natural ized in this country, without distinction of race or eolorA are henceforth citizens of the United*) States, and shall enjoy ai! the right's of citizens evermore, and that.nu St: le shall have the power to do..y or impair this conferred right. The second s -dion lay; down the basis of rep resentation. It excludes as nr. element of repre sentation, all males over 21 years of agc, who are not under the laws of auy S'ate cutitled to suffrage. 'Ry the laws of all thc Southern States negroes are not entitled to suffrage. The aiiop ti-m of this Constitutional Amendment will there fore .-?trip tho South of a majority of its colored inhabitants ns any elemertof. reprer-entttioh, and this will bo essentially ba?cd upon its white popu lation alone. The effect will be the -loss of some twenty Bru members of Congress to the South, and th? additiou of (hut number to thc already overwhelming jjower of the North. The thir-1 section, and lite vilest, may bo best stated in i s own woids : ? No person shall be a Senator or Repr?sentative in Congrer-s. or elector of President and Vice Pr-?od ut, <>r hold any office, civil or military, under the Uiiiitid States, or undernny St;ite, who, .av^ui p evi-.usly tak-u an oath, ns .i member ol' Congress, ?r ii- ai? . flicer of ihn United Sta.es, or as a ui?!ul>: r of any St-te Legislature, i#r asan executive or judici'l oflici r i f a*iy S'nie, ?o sup M?rt iii-; .?. tirti uiton -'f die Uiiited Staten, shall i:iVe eng :g iil in insurrection or rebellion against the sa mu. or given aid or comfort to tho enemies thereof. But Congress tr av, by a vote of two thirds of.e-.oh House, remove snob disability.

It is a grateful, though melancholy record, and although it tells of defeat and overthrow, and the forfeiture of confident hopes and proud antteipati ns, it is still a monument of prido, as it tells of heroic struggle to the last, and of a sublime resignation even aftor tho defeat of every h'-pe.

TUE TRANSFER OF THE JAIL.-Tho tranB fer of the Jail, Workhouse, and other civil buildings, commenced yesterday. Major Cor bin, on the part of the United States Gavera, ment, superintended the transfer to the Sher iff. The military prisoners who were con ti oed for misdemeanors were removed to Cas tle Pinckney, and the remainder turned over to the civil authorities. Thia proved to be a tedious business, and consumed the greater portion of the day. The number ofprisonors and the different details cannot be ascertained until tho transfer is completed. Tho civil restoration works bravely, and Charleston will soon be upon an attie bellum footing.

In Memoriam. Few young ?on} whoso lives havo been modest, leave behind mern the strong impression of an earnest career. ^The youth who is calm, thought ful and dovoted^o a settled purpose, ie the excep tion ; and his character is noticed and marked by every oho with whom he associates. Such a man wns Capt. JAS. TILLMAN. His short lifo was Ono of devoted loyalty to tho noblo purpose of fil ling up tho full measure of his duty, and the les son he bas left ns is one of rt al manhood. Though a boy of decided earnestness nt school, Uko all tho youth of our beloved South, thc rca} worth of his fine nature was matured and devel oped in our lato unhappy Etrugglo for Southern Independence.. The call to r.rms ?uuimonod TILLMAN, at 18 years of agc, from the Academy f Mr. G KOKO: 'GoLrniN, and with a ready but cajm zoal ho took his placo in the ranks Of Capt A. J. HAMMOND'S Company, which became Co. "I," of the 24th S. C. V. For two years be con tributed fi. hearty servico in this capacity, and such was the force pf bis faithful, gallant conduct, tbut during.that time tho nptico ol' his Brig. Gon eral and iinmcJi-itc commanders had boan spe cially drawn to him. Every Officer of his Brigado| and every man in tho ranks of his Regiment, know him as the gentlemanly, fearless soldier^ who t.over flinched from^uty,-was always ready for drill, the picket line or the battle field,-was never heard to swear, or bmown to boast,-never despaired of bis came, or murmured at tho sever ity of itt sorvice,-the only man iu his Regiment who hud never moved his head or hand on Bress Parade, save nt tho word of command,-com mended by his Colonel, and admired by his com rades-a gonial companion nnd a true friend, with a calm, clear mind, and a heart devoted to the comest performance.of evory duty assigned him> Such was TILLMAN when bis comrades selocted him to take the placo of .his gallant Captain, who was confined by prolonged sickness at home. Throughout tho severe campaigns of Genis. Jonx?TON and HOOD in the West he sustained bis high reputation as an Officer, and bis Company woll-ordered and satisfactorily disciplined, yielded him prompt obedience and an affectionate respect. He received the commendations of General Offi cer* fur distinguished-gallantry at Chickamauga, while in front of Atlante, and at Franklin. Sev eral times severely wounded, ho roturncd to bis Company before his wounds wore healed, and wbon hi-t comrades voted him a sword ho was un able lo draw it from Its scabbard. The ardent faith of n il ni ?ful ion was the uniform spirit of bis attachment to Southern Iu(lepcudcncc,-and herve as our calamities accumulated, his. interest dcepoucd, and his devotion quickened. Under the preferred leader of thc wasted army of Ten nessee, in North Carolina, bc was hopeful to the last hour. "Tho failuro of tho Confederate cause," (writes ono rho know him best,) "almost crushod bis hopes. No ono, I know, was more loath to give up tho fight for Southern Independence." A sovcro service, unstinted and always fervent, had over-taxed his constitution, which was unable to'sustain his last sickness. Ho diod a martyr to the cause he honoured with his gallant devotion, on the 8th of Juno last, having just completed his 24th year. Like his life) his death wns manly <fc impressive. Conscious of ditty done-implicitly trusting the lovo and mercy of bis God,-he closed his brief, noblo career. The soldier, among tho foremost in every charge, pussod through the storms of death which bad often raged around him, and died a' his peaceful home, watched by a mother's love. South Carolina honors many noble dead,-gal lant defenders of .hor spirit and her causo,-but .none foll with truer heart than JAMES TILLMAN of Edgcfield. . E. C. Anderson, Oct, 1SCG. ? ? -?- ? REMARKABLE MURDER IN GREEN COUNTY?

Get tiug bim into their power, they carried him a haudred yards from hin house and shot him. The next morning his body was found bear ing the marks ol' sixteen gun shot wounds. At last accounts no arrests had boen made, though suspicion rests upon several promi nent citizens ; and two Yankees who had been at work in the neighborhood and left sudden ly are also thought to know something of the murder. A neighborhood fend about the construction of a mill-dam, with which Mr. Hart hud somo connection, ia behoved to be at the bottom of the matter. The murder has caused great excitement. - ? -o- ? A HARD CASE.-Ale"X.

He may fftfoly bo called a hard case.-Augusta Chronicle. . GOVEXOII ORR AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENKMENT.-Upon information furnished by its Charleston correspondent, the New York Herald goes, off in one of its pyrotech nic blazes of glory, and congratulates its read ers that the Governor of South Carolina is '; inclined to try the experiment of.calling his Legislature together for the ratification of tho Constitutional Amendment, and to move also in behalf bf a new elecliou for members of Congres?, to tho enc] that men may be cho sen who can take the test oath, which 13 a law of Congress." This statement has been generously tel? 'raphed and published through out the court ..-y. We pronounce it to be utter ly false. So far is Gov. Ort' from being favo rably iu?linod to the Constitutional Amend ment, thr.t he opposes it in foin, will throw all his. influence against it, and stat.d shoulder to shoulder with the good and true men of the South in opposition to thc infamous measure. -South Carolinian.

DUBISOE. : dentflr ti zs J OBITUARY._ ON th? avoning of Saturday, .the i3th ?.f Octo ber, 1868,. departed this life, ia tho 31st year of her ajfo, Mrs. MARY ADAMS BROOKS,, wife of Capt. J-HAMPDEN BROOKS, and daughter, of tho,.. late ExrGovornor JAMES H. ADAMS. "? Amidst thc gloom of the public calamity, this visitation of death has been felt with -peculiar poignancy by tho surviving kindred and friends of tho departed. She died at the residenco of her husband and his mother, and hor remain? woro intorred in tho * family comotory at the village -of Edgeficld. It was on tho 24th of January H55G that in the bloom of youthful health and beauty, she became a be loved and cherished wifo. Time only served to endear hor moro and moro t* each ond every member of her husband's family. Her genuine simplicity and truthfulness of character, her ad mirable prudonco and good sonso, and her high cpirit and native onergy, commanded and en-" forced respect; while her warm and sympathetic heart, her considerate-regard for the feelings of others, har engaging modesty, and uniform sweet ness'of temper and manners,"inspired even moro oFalfection and love. During the brief poriod of life allotted to her, she was not without her trial?. A devoted mother, daughter, and stator, abc was visitad with affliction in all tboso relations. Her first born, ber eldest son, was taken from her by denth. She saw her noble fatbor sink into tho tomb a few years since; and but recently, an attached and beloved sister. Thcso trials wiro borne with a Christ i m humili'y and resignation not unworthy of tho Episcopal Communion to which she belonged. She was tho impersonation of maternal love, and to hor five infant children her loss is irrepara ble. Towards her husband, her lov.ng devotion found expression ia every act, and word, and look; to him her death is a calamity and a sor row profound and inexpressible. . Boloved in all the relations of life, she has been torn from her family, of which she was the orna ment and pride ; and hor surviving relations and. kindred find consolation only in the remembrance of bur virtue?, and in tho reflection that shebas been translated to a brighter and happier sphere.
