Headquarters, Milan, dune 8, 1859. Suicide in Winnsboro. The town of Winnsboro was shocked 011 Saturday evening last by the announce inent of the sudden death of I>r. II. J. Neil, a highly respected citizen of that place. We learn that lie had for some time exhibited symptoms that alarmed his physician, and created the suspicion tliat his iniud was seriously impaired. It was not remarked generally, however, and when on Saturday night it became known that he was dead, and that this melancholy result was accnmnli.? poison administered by himself, the shock on the entire community was appalling. Dr. Neil was reared in the town of Winns boro. It was the scene hotii of his hoy Itood and of his manhood. IJe has, therefore, long been known there, and no one ever occupied a more enviable position for high moral traits of character, lie was always the gentleman in deportment and the Christian in every relation of life. That his death was the result or cerebral disorder is the concurrent conviction ol the community. He bad, for a Ion^ time preceding tiisj death, I een a member ol the Methodist Church and in prayer, in exhortation, and often in sermons from the pulpit, was earnest and /.calotit. in his labors for the propagation of the christian faith. He leaves a wife and children and a numerous body of fiietids to lament the tragical termination of his life under cir comstances so poignantly and sadly af dieting. . Upon iiujuiry we were informed thai about 8 o'clock lie called at the store of Messrs. Ketehin <Sr. McMaster and bought a vial of strychnine. On his way home he stopped at the pump in front <>f the market place and there took, it is suppos en, hi toast uiir'.v grains of the deadly poison. lie proceeded homeward, hut fell before lie hud gone very far. He was found lying down on the pavement, and was thence conveyed to his home.? He survived two or tin ee hours. He was buried on Sunday evening at the Moth odist Church.? South Carolinian. VVkst Point?The arduous duties of a West Point Cadet are not more than half realized by tbe hundrels of young gentlemen seeking* appointment ther>*.? Rise at five in summer and six in winter, bed clothes put away, and room arranged for inspection in half an hour. Study un til seven. tiuard mounting at 7 1 2? Class parade at eitrlit. Recitations and study until one. Dinner and recreation until two. Another class parade. Study until four. Sunset, general parade* supper and in thirty minutes tl*e call to quarters. Until 9 1 2 study, and at 10 everv light .extinguished. Of couse, these duties are sometimes evaded- 1^tit it is dangerous business. Such is but an outline of the day's work, repeated from day to dav for five years, with no interruption hut Sum day. At the end of the first two years there is a furlough of several weeks, this being the only time during the course in which the Cadet is allowed to leave the Academy. There are endless opportunities during the military exercises for in curring dement, and if any Cadet incurs one hundred in six months, he is declared deficient in conduct. For all this drilling fhp Osdets receive $80 per month, and are required to pay for board $9 to $10 per month, and $2 for washing. Other expenses, as clothing, etc., consume the whole. Their fare is of the plainest kind.

It eontaina a lengthy account of a moat remarkable religious revival among the Protectants, then in progress in the Town of Dnllytnena.? The effect upon persons was singularly sud, den, mysterious and powerfu1, striking numbers to tbc earth, whilst walking the streets or pursuing their dai'y vocations, and prostrating their physical as well as their men* j tat energies. This singular influence pervaded ail classes of persons, and hundreds | had thus been mysteriously stricken ; the sensations experienced were of greater or less intensity, according to the morality or wickedness of the pre-existing character. When this unusual sensation subsided, the parties affected professed to havo experienced a salutary change of heart.

The Fourth of July The Declaration of our Country'a Indc* pcndence was celebrated with becoming i ] spirit at this place on Monday. At an ear- i ly hour in the morning, (he Stars and J Stripes were planted in front of Beldon's Hotel, and soon the large concourse of per- i sons assembled to participate in the festiv- j ities of the day, attested that some of the L spirit which animated our forefathers in '76, ! still lives in the hearts of their descendants in Lancaster. At. 12 o'clock, M., a procession was formed, and under command ol Maj. John D. ' YVylie, Marshal of the day, marched to the | I i ourt House, where it hart be <n announced i that the address would be delivered. This j 1 building was densely crowded, and not near all who came could procure seats. The Chairman, l)r Robert I,. Crawford, I commenced the ceremonies by a short ad. ' dre?H, befitting the occasion, and concluded by introducing the* Rev. Mr. Wood, of Rock Hill, .vho proceeded to offer a prayer. The Declaration of Independence was then read J by ('apt. Robert M, Sims, in a voice so ' clear and distinct, as to .suggest new beau- I tics in that honored and remarkable .document. The Orator of tlve day. Minor I. Hough, Esq., being introduced, entertained the audience for upwards of a half hour, in a well propped address. It was replete with that chivalrous feeling and patriotic sentiment of which the occasion was so pregnant, and j during its delivery there were palpable proofs i that it found a responsive echo in the hearts of those for whom it was intended. After the address, the tegular toasts v.vre reed by M. 1'. Crawford, Esq. Some of these elicited very deserved and enthusiastic applause from the audience. The Lancaster Saxe-Horne Hand performed an important part in the ceremonies of the day. Their music, which continues to improve with each successive appearance j In*lor? the public, added greatly to the inI tercst of the day . At night there wan an j exhibition of lire-work* in the old field nd| joining the Village.

But h case involving this point waa tr^d hi the Oneida (N. V.) Court, on tlie 13:li in stiint, in which '.he plaintiff sought to re cover from the lludson lliver Railroad j Company, damages lor the losa of his | wife, wlio was kilted while on an express j irHiit on mat rout, a way train having j ? run into the one upon which she was | t traveling. The demand waa for ?'>,000, ! the manimum allowed by law for the loan of a single life. The defence net n|> waa ' 1 that no pecuniary damages had been sua ^ tamed. The jury to whom Hii* cane waa 1 connnitted had, it appears, a tolerable appreciation of the value ot a wife, and. j we doubt not, were happy in their do . > mestic relation* ; for they finally awarded , n damage* to the amount of $2 000 to the j H bereaved husband. Tbia settles the qnra- * lion that a wife has a pecuniary value 1 * aside from tlie amount of gold she may u possess, and will afford to many a litis- < band, who had supposed himself utterly j| insolvent, much consolation. * Receipts Thos J Duncan, May 85, 60 ' II II Duncan, Feb 19, 60 .
