Sudden Death ot Mrs. S. A. Moore. This morning, Tuesday 5th, the death of the above named venerable ladyoc . curred at the residence of her daughter, our honored townswoman, Mrs. Ameri ca Adams. Mrs. Moore arose at her usu al hour, dressed, and was ready for breakfast, when altogether suddenly she became violently ill, her spirit departing to God who gave it within a half hour from her seizure. Heart disease is sup posed to have been the cause of her death. Hrs. Moore, who was about seventy years of age, was a momberoi the promi nent Holloway family of the upper part of our County; and to her old family burying ground, not far from Phoenix, will her body be taken for interment. To God alone must her bereaved family | look In this loss-of a devoted mother, loving sister, a true friend. She has left them and gone to the reward of the just made perfect, to join loved ones gone be fore, and to enjoy the presence of her blessed Redeemer through faith in Christ our Lord.

The Chairman then introduced the Hon. Jr. Timmerman. He made a short, pithy peech, and closed by assuring the people hat he had been true to his convictions i right and duty, and that if elected to he Senate he would do all in his power o promote the general good. Then came Talbert, the other candidate or the Senate. His speech was well-timed ind sensible. He referred to his past re ?rd, and pledged to do his whole duty in he future as he had tried to do in the jast, whether as a Senator or in the shady (?alks of life as a private citizen. .'After Talbert, came the candidates for ,lje Lower House, Jones, Brooker, Folk, Brooks, Fweady, Cheatham and Turner. The taboo set upon their lips by the fore going resolution seemed to have spiked the jana some cf them had brought out for the occasion, and their ideas politic seemed to be at a discount, in a measure. Yet some of them made some good hits-30me fine points, ina political sense; and we had some fine elocution, which tended to create a desire to be well versed in the history of the past and learned in all that appertains to the natural and lo imagery, &C. Yet these gentlemen acquitted them selves well ; and their friends were pleased and they ought to be. Sudden upheavals are liable to produce uncertainty; and our candidatas-clever fellows-capital fellows-all of them found themselves in a dilemma, and did not understand the horns. It is to be hoped that the same pro gramme will be followed at Mt. Willing and elsewhere, in so far as the discussion of "dead issues" goes, and that our friends will.acquiesce in it as gracefully as they didv Kinard's, and that we may have po liticaf speeches of the finest sort, and that men may run upon their own merits, and be elected without reference to hobbies We n**ed men of experience and intelli gence. Edgefield's reputation must be sustained at home and in the counsels of the State. Capt. Jas. Williams made a good speech, and it was appropriate After the speaking, it was ordered that the Resolution, ?fee, be published in the County papers. Then came the adjournment lo the Otb at Mt. Willing. 1'may be permitted "to say the ladies were ont in force, and, as was said by one of the speakers, the whole thing would have seemed a blank without them. Messrs. Holley & Riser furnished a very fine "Cue," all in apple-pie order, and more than abundant. The ladies had their lunch baskets, loaded with good things, and everybody was made happy at dinner time; even the candidates forgot to be un easy and restless. We must not forget to say that there was quite a number of candidates whc have not been mentioned, among them our friends, Ben Bouknight- and Prest BlacKwell. They were " bobbing around serenely," as if every man of them had philosophically determined " to run witli i patience the race B?.t before him." The [ friends of Mr. Jas. Norris regret that sick ! ness in his family prevented him from be ing there. We hope to have bim anc every other candidate in tho County ai ' Mt. Willing. Let them come, meaning . business, for " the night cometh when nc 3 work mav be done." SALriiA.
