The East Florida (Ocala) Banner brings us the sad, intelligence of the death of this gentleman, the brother of. Burr J.1R4mage, Esq., of our town, which melancholy event occurred in the above city on Wednesday the 18th of Maich. The Banner, states that "Col. John Ramage departed this life, and left a large family of orphans in our midst without a female relative near to take charge of them. Their relatives are in South Carolina. Col. Ramage had. bee'n a great sufferer for more than a year past, and his constitution much weakened by previous disease, gave way rapidly under the complicated maladies which aflicted him after hi, last attack. He was a prominent member of the Baptist Church, and shared largely in the esteem-and'affection of the Church and conmunity at large. The masonic fra ternity of which he was an active mem ber, gave him much attention during his illness and buried his remains with the impressive ceremonies of the Order. And have provided an excellent matron to take charge of his domestic affairs un til his relatives can be heard from. Peace'to his memory !" We sympathise with the afflicted rela tives in this sad bereavement. Our District Club Meeting.

It is enough for me to remark that you have met for the noblest purpose that can engage the human heart or head.

The report on business was read by g actions and called for animated and in- tI aresting discussion. Col. Aiken object- h; og to third section. Col. Thomas deemed important but suggested a protest, ce rhich was agreed to by Mr. Aiken, and d4 be following amendment was added: But at the same time we enter our pro-b st against its validity." (bjection was made by Col. Aiken as a a fifth section, that it did not go far Mj nough. Gen. Chesnut stated that this section o aued some debate in the Committee oom. He thought the gentleman from abbevifle was right. We should sayt at the colored man ba made to under- m And that hereafter he shall have quali ed suffrage, He also thought that, in ilitary parlance, it would be necessary accept the "African auxiliary." a Hon.

Karr says : "In a woman's life, everything leads te a new dress; every circumstance is , arked by a new dress, and the dress is ' e most important part. A rirl is go- W g to be married-a dress. For a mo- b ent her heart is filled with love, G oughts of an entirely neiu' existence, tI d of a long separation from her pa nts. Everything disappears before 0 e sl-absorbing question of the wed- W ng dress. A relation dies. The grief tI the ladies is violent ; but it is soon t ecked, for the mourning has to be - ought of. What are the people wear-G g ? What is the most fashionable It ode of testifying one's sorrow ? It i& u cessary to go to the linen-draper's, to r e dress maker's, to the milliner's, and . a little while they are so thoroughly " copied that there is quite an end to I mentations, unless, however, the dress ti >es'Dt happen to fit, or the bonnet to be al o much or too little off the head.

CAM-IAL HIT--During the progress of ne of the speecbes on Wednesday last efore the unbleached, it happened that citizen of the bleached persuasion ac identally became entangled in the crowd ,hile on a pedestrian tour, which acci ent occurred just after the speaker re earsing the oft repeated story of free om and the privileges conferred, said but feller citizens of South Kaliner dey %n keep you out of de parlor," when ur disqualified citizen exsuscitated the rowd by remarking, loud enough to be card, "but we can't keep them out of ur smoke-houses." That was a ten trike. "PuT rr i rYoU PnPE."-"What pleas re can exceed the smoking of the weed?" 'he poet must have had a good article f the weed in his pipe when he gave tterance to the above, just such a qual y as Dr. T.

Do not rest con ,Mt with our word, however, but get a ackage of one or the other, as taste in lines, and try for yoursrives, and you -ill thank the Doctor as we have done. At a social gathering thu other night, llowing that on which the speeches -ere made in f.-ont of the Court House, ie conversation turned on one of the peakers, F. J.

Our mouth organ being resent, opened his mouth and spake, 'not so would I-for l'd send him off ever to return." Our organ was in uine. Ax APPEAL-We take lauei e omimendiith Re.L. C. Loyal, Pastor f(the Spring St. Methodist Church, Char ston, to this community, and all other tctions he may visit, as representing a iost worthy cause, and one enititled to seir cordial sympathies. It is hardly ecessary to state that he is sent out by se Trustees-of said Church and recomn nended by Bishop Wightmnan and the ev. A. Mi. Chrietzbur-g, Presiding Elder r Charleston District, but that his ob et is to raise a small fund to effect some tpairs on his Church, damaged during te occupancy of the Not thern Methodist hurch who forcibly held possession for tree years, and now have returned it in dilapidated condition. Mr. Loyal wil! mwain here for a few days,; and will be appy to receive any donations which te charitably disposed may contribute, a the same large or small. The sum seded cannot be raised in Charleston wgto.the impoverished condition of is cRy sm; we feel certain feai fone pcountry will respond to the appeal. Contributions may be given to Rev. r. S. Black after Mr. Loyal's departure, hich will be forwarded to him. SALE-DAY.-Fewer persons were in at ndance on this occasion than for many -eceding sale-days, farmers being busy ith their planting operations. No sales j' sheriff. horses, mules, etc., sold by en. Kinard brought good prices. No iing of importance except the meeting Ethe Democratic Club, noticed else here, in the morning, and another in ie afternoon by the Union League par r. This meeting was attended by Gen. arlington, who being allowed the privi go of speaking, gave an addrcss which as entirely unanswerable, Completely tfuting the arguments of the Leaguers, fact, literally tearing their flimsy fal cies into shreds. It was a complete iumph of reason and truth over error id falsehoodl. Gen. Garlington as a de iter is second to no other public man the State, and we are proud of such a iampion of democracy, and that he ~arded the leaguers in their own den, id signally vanquished them, as the outs of approval, long and vociferous, Ily testified. But unfortunately this in ience will be but temporary, their lead -s will again persuade them that "the oon is made of green cheese," with the romise of a slice to each. Therefore -ouse, democrats, wake up, there's dan tr in the distance. Let us work to save rselves and the colored people als'o.

GAPTAIN MAc.-This gentleman, the ladies and gentlemen of town and dis trict will be delighted to know, has re turned from his northern trip, where he has selected a stock of goods unapproach able for beauty, elegance and fashion, and that these goods will soon be here. No other item of as great importance can be placed in our local than this announce ment. Capt. McFall is usually. regard ed by the ladies as one of the best au thorities in fashions and taste, to be found in the country. What he says can be relied on, what he exhibits is bound to please, and what he sells gives supreme happiness. Mac wears a new bat, always sees to that when he goes North, and of course it is "the style." Some of the boys on his return called out to him to "come out of that hat," but having passed through all the bat. ties of the Confederacy and stood fire therein, he can afford to laugh at these boys, who are only envious and want one of the same kind themselves. He will have some of them for sale. Call on Mac. MYSTERIOUS.-K. K. K.-A letter was taken from the Post office on' Monday, addressed to us, which contained an ad vertisement headed K. K. K., with com mand to publish without fail. One dol lar and fifty cents accompanied this mys terious order, the only intelligible part of the affair. We decline publishing this letter unless we can have an interview with the terrible K. K. K., as it is a rule with printers not to publish anony mous matters. What it means we can't say. It is a singular production-possi bly from the supernatural world, from sulphurous regions, where ghosts and wizard's hold their weird incantations. Scarcely a paper comes to us but has one of these mysterious orders in it. We copy one from the Lynchburg Virginian, which reads thus: G. L. 0. 1. R.! Signal fire on Watch Tower 8th Whis per, Shroud Night. Knights and Clans. men for Gx24 Degree. Armor-time-place-men. Ringer on alert o- Confines. REsURGAMUS I By order M. S. M. X. K. of A.-9, D. F. The Richmond "Examiner" thus speaks of the probable doings of this mysterious order, which first made its appearance in Parson Brownlow's dominions: The members of this mysterious order are said to be appearing all over the State in numbers almost equal to the clouds of locusts in the East. The church-yards are said to literally swarm with them, and their demands for shrouds has almost exhausted the bleehed cot tons in the towns and villages of the State. So noiselessly do they flit from town to town, everywhere kindling a spirit of patriotic ardor for the Constitu ion, that they seem to be diseumbodied spirits rather than actual men. Beyond the well-ascertained fact that they intend to hang Hlunnicutt from the tail of Wash ington's bronze horse for endeavoring to persuade Colonel Barton to capture For tress Monroe in January, 1861, and to clip Bayne's superfiuo us tongue and ears, Tnr,ho curry assie to death with a l Confederate curry-comb found amid the ruinis of the old s~tables at Bacon Quarter Branch, nothing is known of the real in tentions of these eminent patriots. WEDNESDAY'S GATnERING in honor of Messrs. Chamberlain, Corbin, DeLarge, and Moses the junior, from below, and Lee Nance, at home, was not as large as might have been expected. Some of this party were white and some colored, but which were which we could not see. One of them we are informed was a white man during the early part of the Con federate struggle, and is said to have been quite conspicuous in flag raising, and csvorting as aid and secretary, but has since changed his spots. DeLarge is and always has been of a. batter-cake color, and is represented as the most in telligent and respectable member of this sweet-scented party. The others, history not having 'ZZ.Zd, an<i of no remark able appearance, we regret inability to notice. Well, they came, and spoke the same stale speeches enur.eiated in Co lumbia and elsewhere, and still to be re hearsed-of freedom, liberty, constitu tion, what convention did, advice tor hold fast to league, carry them throuzgh, right to vote and hold office, even to the Pro. sidency, &c. Their blinded audience vented loud and undisguised admiration ; the Jordan would soon be crossed. Poor deluded creatures, unable to recognize that they are only needed for 'present party purposes, and will be dropped ore long to take care of themselves, they will not believe, when told by their friends and old masters, that the bright prospect held up to their imaginations can only be temporary, and not lasting, that a reac tion must come, that white supremacy must bring them to their level. A year, two or three, and the day will come, when the whole complexion of affairs will change, and when they will be -glad to turn back to those who have nourished them, and would still do so if allowed. We close mention of the party-speak ers by saying, that after sowing their seed, they left. DIsTUnac.-On Saturday night the colored upper-crusts of 'gravel-dom' and surroundings gave a ball, which- .was at tended by - the colored cod fish of the neighboring town of Helena. These hell enians are railroad firemen, strikers and brakemen, and counting on the chance of having something or somewhat to strike and break, came prepared wihh full heads of steam. First 'rolling up dere sleeves and taking off dore coats,' for an examination of muscle, prelimi nary, this express train started and pass ed by our domicile just as we had crawla ed into bed, the conductor signaling 'we is gentlemen.'

The codfsh were thrown out; prepared for action ; finned an upper crust; blood flowed; curses loud, deep; up, down, across; up the middle and down again surged the belligerents, till the cod-fab, followed by a portion of the others, back ed up to our gate.
