Death of Cl. Robert Moorman.
With saddest feelings we record the
death of Col. R. Mourman, which
event occurred at his residence on las
Sabbath; just as the bells were chim
ing for morning service. It was one
of the hours that he most loved, and
,hich dui-ing a long life of christian
experieuce, was never [eected-and
now it the close of his probation,
wxhile ths.hdll ' 'Uging - out - th
summons for the .li. .ng to. enter th
church below, his spirit freed from
its earthly tenement winged its flight
to the great Church above. He died
unconscious, and to all appearance the
familiar and loved sound did not reach
his dulled ears. A good man has
fallen, an eminent and loved citizen iis
no more; a pillar of strength is taken
from the elurch, a family is bereaved.
and a community suffers a great loss.
No better man, more'eoDscientious, o
more identified with the social, politi
cal and religious interests of Ne wber
ry ever lived, and we sorrow not with
common sorrow, for we feel that his
deathis'a calamity. We cannot af
ford to lose such. men now. Col
Moorman was born near Fish Dam,
Union County, October the 22d, 1814.
,Atan'early pera-ioi life he moved
to this County, and-for many years he
lived in the town, for the most part of
which he was engaged in mercantile
pursuits. As a public man our data
thows that in 1848 he was elected to
the Legislature for two years, and was
re-elected in 1850 for auother term.
In 1842 he was elected to the Stat
-Senate for four years, but in conse
quence of failing health, resigned tha
important trust in the third year..I
1860 was-sent to the State Conven
tion, in company with Col. S. Fair
Jos. Caidwell and J. P. Kinard, an
in* that momentous time gave the bene
fit of a counsel which invariably wa.
full of wisdom and mature delibera
tion. If we recollect aright he wa.

cultural Society was honored with.
and at his death he held the high and
honorable position of President of th

ever position hi stood before the peo

shone resplendent,for he filled everysta
tion with eredit to himself, and satis

who ever loved to honor him. ITt may
be said and with truth that he was
the most popular man in the County.

Way.- BiifWe wbuld iather Tiikof
himn in his christian charater-as a
-perfect, devout man, in whom there
was no spot or blemish, for in him the
profession of religion was no idle
e thing-and in the full faith of a
bright reward, he has died.. Who can
say that a crowa'of' rejoicing is not
his, and that now while we are wrap
ped in %our sorrow, his liberated spirit
is already in the in imeut of a blissful
*rest." His sufferings were protracted
and many, but -he bore- them with
ehristian fortitude, only keeping in
view the en& Pekee to his beloved
ashes, and 6miy some one better ac
quainted wvith his life, his virtues and
his.deedsg;e?nder a more fitting trib

experience will permit.
The Financial Question.
The scarcity of money continues to
be Lhe- subject of most common dis
cussion. There seems, however, to be
a quieter feeling among bankers, and
most men think that the crisis ha:
been reached. If this is the case the
financial disease will have proved it
self less fatal than perhaps-in any other
-instance in which it has' visited thi.:
country. Wherrtrade to a great ex
tent ceases ini the large commxercial
entr rs, the entire country to a greater
or less degree must be affected. . Those
districts whieh are stricitly agricultu
ral will be the smallest sufferers. As
we have heretofore said, the cotton re.
mai.ns in the country,and it must soon.
er or later bring home the money.
In the meantime, the merchant who
has purchased a large stock of goods.
andi who may be carrying 2~0 to $30.
000 in liens upon the crop which
ought now to be coming in rapidly.
will feel most senisibly the present
pressure. lie is not, however, in any
sense~ in the c'ndition of the Northern
merchant, who may have had his mnoni
~y in the hands of parties who have
been speculating in imaginary rail
road stocks ; for the latter has lost all
-while the former still has under his
very eye the crop which will most eer.
tainly reimburse him for the advances
he has 'made. The only thing is he
must be patient. He must wait ;
there is no alternative. The European
demand for cotton must, in a m~onth
or so at farthest. move the crop, and
that too at a fair price. Let the mer
chant then take heart-"keep a stiff
upper lip," atndTh .a ligje while hc
will be in as good a condition as he
would have been had this monetary
1% rligr-The Panuic.
The farmers are in a deplrable con
lition-there is no .doubt of this.
ud equally so are the merehaus-the
panic which stops the of otton
paralyses trade. .3 ih Luku ail
vice, however, has bjn en7o ie
farmers, in ordet , t*0i ho
to get out of their present difficulties
as well as to prevent a recurrence.
As to the advice bearing upon the pres
eatn-tbat the -farmer- must- and can
hold his cotton, we have a word to say.
SnolL adviee is unreasonable. impolitie.
in factit cannot be carried out, ex
cet by a very few,- and then to a
limited extent. Two thirds of the
crop is virtually the property of lien.
holders, and the farmers Are too hon
est to do otherwise than to relieve the
men who helped to make'their crops.
If they would do otherwise, they are
powerless, from the fact. that their
present needs are too pressing. This
is the ease as it stands at present
and when this difficulty is over.
then let the farmers come together.
and on the strength which unity gives.
take the bull by the horns. Then let
them determine to hold their cotton.
and demand their price. Now it is
impossible to do so, for tktey must first
become independent. The panic is
all but ended, and confidence is being
restored, and the merehants are will
ing to receive the cotton and hold it
till the market opens fairly again, and
continue their help meanwhile.
Send in your cotton, gentlemen, this iS
the shortest and best- way to obtain
relief.
As to the future, we shall speak at
another time.
Important to Know.
It may not perhaps 'be generally
known, that during the last session of
Ehe Legislature an Act was passed,
which in its bearing upon the farmei
md -the. merchant, is one of the
reatest importance. It is to this
4ieot, that either in the selling or buy
ng of real or personal property upon
vhich a lien has been given, wher
2otice is not made to the party hold
ng the lien,a severe penalty attaches.
[n plain words, if a farmer having
;iven a lien to one party, sells his
>otton or anything else, to another.
withoat giving notice of his intention
:o do so to the party who holds the lien.
>r without his consent, he can be held
able, and subject to a fine, not less
han $10, nor more than $5,000, and
o imprisonment not less than ten
iays, nor more than three years.
he. party buying under such fraudu
eat circumstances is also subject tr.

We do not for a moment suppost
hat such a course would be pursued,
hat a farmer having given a lien.

>f injury or wrong. We feel it a duty
:herefore, to make this mention, that
;he relation on both sides may be
iearly understood, that no accident
ay posaibly happen.
Arrant Robbery.
"He who steals our purse steail,
~rash." No one will dare dispute
~his-and we abnost thuik it a fare
md delusion to carry one any longer.
But 'tis a horse of another color whem'
ur best locals and news items8 are

DEin EDIToa.-Charleston has been writ
ten up so often, and is so familiar to most of
your readers, that it Is unnecessary for me to
give you a description of it. Were there any
new features, then I might enter into an ex
ensive letter, but as every point of note or
interest has been so often deseriLed through
the columns or your paper, I will not infict
apon you the trouble of reading such a de
tailed account of familiar pjaces.
The money crush fell heavily upon Car
leston, but already the depressing effect is
wearing off, and so far nobody is much hurt.
A. ft-eling of uneasiness pervades financial
-ircles, such as never did before, and even
now to a great extent, money cannot be
borrowed upon any kind of collateral,or even
,t the most enormous rates of interest.

burt, but the uneasiness of the money as

rary crash in New York, buying only such
goods as they are compelled to have.
The Grocery trade has been' very good,- -
Domrafacing early, it has been steadily in
:reasing up to the present time. Groceries
ire generally bought for cash, or on thirty
Ciys time with factors' acceptance, but the
factors are now unwilling to accept; in this
wvay this branch of trade is being materially
lessened.
The Shoe and Hat trade during the present
season has exceeded any sear,on since the
war. The sales in this branch of trade have
been exceedingly heavy, being bought prin
tipally on sixty days, or- factors' accep
tance. But they are now uuwilling to secept.
~nly for small amounts, thus will this branch
~f trade be made to suffer.
The general impression amona rfe naro.

ightness of the money mdrkets. that the fall
radc will come to a dead lock. nd remain so
ansil evcrything assumes a better aspect. It
s thought by some of the kpowing ones.
that all this tro.ble has been brought on by
r few of the "Bulls" in New York. They, by
.Irawing in their money for the last six
rnonths, have brought about the present state
>f affairs, and b.' wvithdrawing from cbrcula

they will force upon the marker, bonds, stocks

There is a big marble building they has

not the stun kind, but what greenbacks

W. Bailey made an ascension in a
balloon to-day from the fair grounds.
The balloon was inflated with ho
-ir, and left the ground with
Bailey hanging by his hands to a hor
izoutal bar beneath. Just as it start
d it took fire near the mouth. and
Bailey did not notice the fire until h
was too high to let go with safety.
but hung, on until he reached an alti
titude of 1,200 or 1,500 :feet, when
the canvas that held the hoop from
which he -was suspended burned away
and he fell, reaching the earth a qjuar
ter of a mijle front the starting point.
The body was frightfully mangled.;
his legs were ' driven into the hard
ground to his knees.
TUE MURDERER OF SEVENTEEN
MEN --The desperate John Long,
who killed Wim. Taylor, .necar Allen
Springs, Ala., on the line of the Ala
basia and.Chattanooga Railroad, has'
been removed from LaFayette, Ga..
jail, to the jail in Lebanon, Ala. He.
said when being transferred to Ala
bamna, that he was satisfied now that
his case is hopeless. He desired te
be taken to the house of Mr. Taylor,
to sec the widow of the nman he had
murdered, atnd his wish was gi-auted.
but the tears of 'the heart-strieken
widow had no effect upon the hardtn.
ed wreteh. He says he has killed
seventeen men in cold blood, and in
tended to kill four more, wlien his in
human thirst for blood would be
slaked.-LChattantooga Coinmercial.
-THE flNGLTIH JACKET.-No more
serviceable or becoming garmnent has
been imported this season. It is in=
tended to be ,vorn over fall and win
ter suits, is plain enough for travel
ing and shopping, and yet elegant
enough to be worn with the richest
toilets. It is mostly imported in
thick. soft, shtaggy cloth, onice known
as chinichills, now called camel's hahi
cloth. The pres ailing colors are dark
late. bronze. blue, olive, and mnyrtl
reen. The trimming are bands, re
vers, cuffs, &c., of velvet or repped
'ilk, either eorded oni the edge or
headed with braid. Steel, 'peari-culor
ad, and oxydizedi silver buttons are
used.
Among the New York City Epis
