The companions of his earl years will remember him as bearing character remarkably free from vice and irregularities, which common disfigure the ardent, and erring, p riod of youth. But "the steps of a good man ai ordered by the Lord," and it was p culiarly pleasant to him to trace tl hand of Providence in the events his oheckered life ; and to attribute the divine blessing, attending tI prayers and instructions, of a devo edly pious mother, what others are a, oustomed to'rofer to natural tempor mont, and personal discipline. It was deeply affecting to witne the filial tenderness with which I pointed from his dying bed, to ti conseorated apartment, whore til faithful, christian mother, was we to kneel with him, and placing h hand upon his head, invoke the blo ing of a covenant God upon his futu years. Ijor fervent prayers, ai earnest counsels, were over fresh his memory, and seemed to foll< him, like guardian angols, whisperi accents of warning and nceourap mont, and beaconing him away frc many a forbidden path. le was a short time a student South Carolina College, but reeiv his education principally at Mt.

Struggling, with shattered health. sI ro against the inroads of an insidious dis- 'T id ease, disqualilying him for the regular m n pursuit of his vocation, upon which his n ,w livelihood depended, he was sometimes fi () depressed with gloom and despondency, 5 e- which gave a melancholy tinge to his Ri m1 religious life. But he emphatically pro- i1 tosted against any apology for his errors a at and short-comings. le desired he said ad to be known only as it "sinner saved by a on grace," and if there was anything good 0 is in his character, or usedm in his life, lie ii i. wished it to be recognized as "the frut '1 n. of the Spirit," by whose almighty power ri n- and grace, we are "created in Christ t id Jesus unto good works."

"Lord, Lord, how this world is given lying." But whether the lying is done i sturdy old Ber.. Wade is, with un- a tralleled unanimity 9 by all wvho under ke to write about him, not a settled 10stion yet. I had ain interview with urdy old lBen.

Mr. Editor : Intense desire to contribute towards restoring prosperity to my fellow-citivis induces me to offer a few suggestions on the above subject, which I will be pre pared to advocate more at large hereafter at the meeting to be held in Winnsboro on the 2d Monday of this month, and in other st.ctions of the District, if the pian I shall propose elicits sufficient in terest and support to justify my doing so. To sum up thin whole subject of im migration in brief, we wil obtain immi grants when we shall have obtained Ready Money to pay their passage to Fairfield, and to start them in their oc cupations snccessfully. All schemes not involving this feature, will not only be slow to get into operation, but will probably fail completely in the end. Let us, then, form a Company, char. tered for the term of ten years, under the direction of competent directors, chosen by stockholders and with one or more officers paid for attending to the interests of the Company. Let sub scriptions to its stock be solicited and obtained, the money obtained to be ap plied by loans on good security and bearing interest, to encouraging all ef. forts to induce immigraticn, and to mul. tiply such industrial pursuits in Fairfield District, as may meet the mature appro bation of the Board of Directors. . The features of a l3uhiing and Loan Association, and also of a Saving Bank (but not of a Bank of Discount or Ex. change) could very judiciously and effcctivt.ly be combined with the opera. Lions of this Company. Since the existence of the Company, as being an experiment, should be limit ed to a term of ten years, the assets will at the expiration of that term, be distrib uted amongst the stockholders, in pro portion to their stock, whether contrib. uted in cash, which is the great need of the company, in order to enable it to work at once, or in good titles to land, to be disposed of by the Directors, to Immigrants or others. Such a company might lose small amounts by injudioious loans to par. ties unable to comply with their con. tracts, but the interest on such loans as proved good would overbalance all losses and render its stok a very safe and desirably invAatmenn Besides, the immigrant . himself will, pay back, through his employer and security, his passage-money and intcrest.thereon, in the form of his first and second year's labor. Fellow-citizens, we are all poor. We can give very little towards any public object. The plan I propose simply asks of you to lend, and with a prospeet of getting back in ten years, both thejprincipal and interest of what. you contribute. If four hundred of the citizens of the District would pledge twenty (do1 lars cash on the first of next December (many could pledge more) towards the promotion of a Fairfield Immigra tion Manufacturing and Banking Com pany, and promise to repeat the con tribution, if alive, for fiive successive years, the eight thousand dollars per annum of ready money thus obtained, well-handled, would biring over and settie two hundred immigrants the first year, more than double that num. bor the second, and so on for thne third, and by the time the charter of the coinpany expired, the immigrants themselves will have paid for their introduction, you will have east your bread upon the waters, -and it will have returned to you again Very respectfully your fellow-citi zen, B3ENJ. Rt. siTUAR~T. Mr. Editor : [cMUNoATD. .Will you be so kind as to publish the subjoined, an editorial which appeared in the Columbia Phani-c of the 20th instant : TuE IMMIORATIoN MOVEMENT. This movement has been taken up in, several Districts in the State. In Newberry, Edgefield, Fairfield, York, and Riebland, the matter js receiving speial attention. We hope that by November next, a Convention of the State be called to make the movement genuine, and to invest with all possi ble prestige. What say our farmers and our cotemporary journals ? In1 the meantime let every ]?istrict take the matter up. A large colony of Germans have made arrangemente to settle near Wa!. halla, in the upper part of this State. An immigration soeloty has been formed in Newberry District, and has commenood operationsa, already is that District reaping the good fruits of this move, as a number of immigrants havo arrived in that Distriot.
