Wo arc pained'to learn of the death, at Abbeville, on Sunday morning, of Judge Da\id L. Wnrdlaw, long known iu this State as a learued lawyer, errti ncut jurist, and accomplished gentle man. Wo have no particulars as yet, and only infer that his death was the sequence of protr.iotud weak health, which manifested itself more particular ly in one or two paralytic strokes within tlio past two years. Ibis no little loss, that of a man trusted aud honored throughout a- long and busy Ufe in exalted- and responsible positions, and always oq.ua! to the highest' expectations A great amir good man has gone, leaving the memory of good* deeds, honest and valuable services to his State and people, and the fragrance of a character pore, unsullied and amiable in all the rcla 'ribnw of* lifo. The following is a brief biography of tho dArcCahcd Judge : "Judge David Louis Wardlaw was born in Abbeville Ccutity, in 1791), and was at the limo of his death seventy four years old. At an oarly age he entered the SouOh Carolina- College, where he graduated With? dietri ngirished honors. After leaving college, he was admitted to tlie bar, and' iu-1?82'1 at tained considerable distinction in the case of Ramsay v?. Marsh', which arose under the will of Henry Laurcns, and lip which the s atute of uses and trusts was first construed in this State. At that time he was a co-partner of the late Governor Noble lu December, 1830, be was elected Speaker of tho llou?o of Representatives, of which he bad-becu a member (for several \ear-, and ho cou tinuod to serve in this position, with distinguished ability, until December, 1811, when be was elected to the bench, lo succeed Judge Johnson. His career on the bench is well known in every part of the State, It continued for over a quarter of a century, and was ever marked by those ennobling trails of mind and heart which tendod so much to elsvatc aud dignify the judiciary of South Carolina in tho palmy days of her history. Jrt speaking of one of bis opinions, an annotator to one of tho late editions of Chancellor Kent uses these words: 'Tho opinion of Justice Ward law is singularly learned and interest ing ; it is a remarkable example of his torical legal erudition.' Ho was, iu all the relations of life, a man ol uuswerv. ing integrity and elevated sentiment, and by his death has been removed another one of those laud-marks which bind us to all that is good und glorious in the past history of our State."?Columbia Phu nix. The LiiltCMt Horror. Tile sensation of the day and hour, the all absorbing topic of conversation at street eorners, in the Hotels, bar rooms, and all places where men most do congregate, i:< the murder of Mans field Tracy Walworth by his sou, aged niueteen years. The Foster cose has passed out of people's minds. Stokes is forgotten for the time being, aud tho public alt ent ion is ingulfed :vUl Coil ceulrated upon this awful crime of a father slain by bis sou. THE MUHITRRKI) MAN was* an author of some repute; his best productions being "Warwick," "Lulu," "Hotspur," 8t*tt? C1MT," "Delsflaine," and "Beverly/' At the time of his death he was engaged in writing "Mar ried in Mask," for the New York Week ly, and a ueW novel of bis in now in press-. He was the ion of the late Chancellor Wulworth, a shiuing light of the New York Bar. AN VNHAI'PY MARKIAUE. Wttf.

Mo is disgracefully ignorantofnatur.il history, but he takes a deep interest in the sub ject of manures, and the moment you say anything about fertilizers,-Perk ius pricks up his cars and begins to enjoy himself. The other day ho read in s mi > ode of the newspapers that Prof. Agassis had taught a specimen of the iguana to como to him at the ?otind- of music. It struck Perlt ins at the time ava rather singular phenomenon, but He believed in the newspapers, and ho determined to see what lie could do iu that direction. So Perkins rook his accordion and went down to the barn aud sut in front of a bag of guano, and began to squeeze out "A Life on the Ocean WaVe aud a 'Home on the Holling Beep/' He"did - this thrco or lour times, and still the guano did not move. Then ho began iagain and mashed out a lot of variations to tho tune. But the g?arto bag uiaui tested no disposition to come to him.? I'heu he made mother effort, and inter I jected exercises and fragments of tho j scales into "A Life on the Ocedn Wave aud a Home ou the Rolling Deep" aod I spurted in a parcel of extra sharps and flat; aud he played the uir backwards ! aud sideways and diagonally, and bogau in tho mid.De and wv.ked towards both ends, aud iu fused sevoral trills and modulations, and mixed it up with "Old Hundred," and "Beautiful Dreamer,' and fugues, and Gregorian chants, for four or five hours, aud then ho was taken to the house by his relations aod nut to bed. Perkins is now couviriood that bo was misinformed about AgaMiz, and he wants to interview the editor that toll the lie?A(ux Adder. I find that nino hours ]>.*r day con stitute everywlierc a day's work; tint I?, fifty-four hours por'lffijck, but as they clo*c at noon o?i Saturd iy, tho hours aro a little more than nino on other days./.' The general experience of the employers is against increased wage?. They say that when the men have earned a certain sum per Week they will not work any more; in fact, as the wages are increased the average amount earned e ich week i.? actually diminished. The wholo matter seems to the writer to be in a very on fortunate way in I' nglaud. The relations of employer and employee, are fur from what they should be. In fuct there ure at present two nations iu England, a woulthy, church-going race, cultivated and possessing the powurs of government and reaping the benefit of tho labors of the working class. There is also an ignorant, debased nation of men, living iu the same land, but bitterly hostile to the other face, having no sympathy in their religion and Mo share1 in their gov ernment, which they feel ooly a re* traiut, but having a govern ...ent of their own. to which they yield an implicit obedience. They are acquiring a consciousness of their own power?dim, perhaps, but growing?and there are those among the English who predict before many years a great conflict between these tWo pctfpScs, of which one is to day a? hostile to the other as the South over was to the North For my fart 1 can see bot one escape from this condition of things, and that is iu a general and enforced system of public education, a thing an English man docs not seem abio to comprehend, 8 public education being in his mind a charity institution, Which he regards in something the same light as he does the poor ? houso.?L* It er f rt>m Engla in/.
