Death of a Distinguished Sotjth
hbnsb.?Dr. Josiah O. Nott, bora and
bred in South Carolina, bat for half of
his long lifo a resident of Mobile, Ala.,
where he recently returned to die, was
one of the representative men of onr
section. He has left behind him a
name, like Commodore Maury's, whioh
the South, hiB mother, should not will?
ingly let die, both as a man of soienoe,
a physiologist and a physician.* Theie
was something tonohiog in the worn-oat
old war-horse's returning to his original
pastures to die) and the prescience with
whioh he foresaw and foretold his own
approaching end, was a proof* of his un?
erring diagnosis in the diseases of the
thousands who had found alleviation cr
cure of their Bufferings through hiB prac?
tical skill. Identified years ago with
seekers after truth, like E. Goo. Sqnier,
of New York, and tho Egyptian Glidden,
who united with him in his great work
on the di verelty of sneoies, whioh gave
them all a high place among scientific
Inquirers, throughout his long life Dr.'
Nott pursued the same paths of research,
and his labors ended only with his life.
Bat the loving hands of near neighbors,
who kuow and lored him well, here
strewn over his tomb a ohaplot of im?
mortelles, from whioh we oall a few, to be
found in a long, eloqaeut and apprecia?
tive notice of the man and the philoso?
pher in the Mobile Register. Business
was generally suspended the day he was
buried, and an immenso procession?the
military and fire oompaniea participating
?escorted the dead physician to hie last
resting plaoe. Here is the Register's
record of his life and services:
D?orOB' Josiah 0. Nott.?An event
.whioh bar people have been sadly await?
ing was announced at an early hour, yes?
terday;.oar moat distinguished towns?
man, Dr. Nott, had expired at '7.30
.o'olook, on the morning of his birth-day,
thus completely rounding ont the mea?
sure of hiB years, whioh had nearly at?
tained the traditional limit of human
life. For more than half that time Mo
.bile has olaimed him as her own; even
when he had become a resident of other
oitiea, thero was an instinctive fooling
among as that this was his home; that he
wonld yet return to us. He returned to
die; the attachment to this home spot
was strong in his bosom, and while some
strength'remained whioh might suffice
for the fatigue of travel, the turned his
face Southward; and he seemed to have
estimated the sum of his vital powers
with philosophical calmness; for once at
home, he lay down, resigned to his fate,
and viewing its approach with almost
more than human presdienoe.
No man was more thoroughly identi?
fied with the people among whom he
lived in all their varied interests, social,
munioipal^nd political. And while al?
ways most affable and sympathetic, was
invariably outspoken. In politics, he
was not only true to the South, bat
trath with him always implied zeal in
the oause whioh he espoused. Of course,
the war opened for him an aotive field,
into whieh he threw himself with all the
energy of his nature. From the first,
he.entered tho sorvice of the Confederate
States, filling the position of Medical
Director, ander Oen. Bragg. Finding,
after the war, that the summer olimate
of Mobile was too exhausting for his
impaired. constitution, he removed in
1*867 to Baltimore. ? His departure hence
was looked upon as a pnblio calamity,
and the universal regard and admiration
of the people was testified by a public
dinner given him, and attended by more
than 100 of onr principal citizens. After
remaining in Baltimore a year, he re?
moved to New York, and was received
with open arms by the 'moBt eminent of
the profession in that city. A largo
practice sought him at once, and ho was
adding daily to his reputation us a dis?
tinguished gyntojplogiBt, when, about a
year since, his health suddenly failed
him; and when the assaults of the en?
croaching foe had exhausted all the
means of defence whioh hiB life-long ex?
perience could supply, he oalmly turned
to the oheriahod abode where so much of
that 'experience had been acquired, that
his last days might be passed among his
oldest aud truest friends.
It is not by any means complimentary
to the manly character that no women
were rescued from tho Atlantic. Such
disasters result in a "struggle for exist?
ence," without regard' to morals or
breeding. Tho men of tho Atlantic uro
not to bo blamed for scoking to*savo
their lives; but the persons who sent the
vessel to se& unprovided with rafts for
Buoh emergencies, and thus sent GOO per?
sons to their death, merit condemnation
on this account, as well as on account of
the delinquencies whioh have heretofore
been pointed out.

The reoeat session of Congress at
whioh tho Republican majority increased
Grant's salary 'rom $25,000 to $50,000 a
year, (and ho approved it, to mnko it a
law,) also gave .'vim $35,000 to buy now
furniture; $5,000 to pay his gas bill;
$5,000 to buy oo.il; and ?G,0Q0 for his
glass flower garden. Besides .this, it is
oaly a little while since botween $25,000
and $30,000 were oribbed from the Trea?
sury building appropriation to build him
a billiard room and stable. Instead of
getting $50,000 a year, he notually re?
ceives .over $100,000. Pretty well, this,
for a plain Republican President. t
Contemptible Hypoobiut.?One of
the most oontemptiblo of all thb con?
temptible, aspects in which the salary
steal baa preaontod itae'f, is the shapo it
took in Now Hampshire.'. Two of the
Congressmen from that State?Hibbard
and Parker?voted against the salary in?
crease, and when "too famous forty
seooud" adjourned, went home triumph?
antly virtuous, without drawing the
85,000 whioh stood to the oredit of each.
They were both candidates for election
to the Forty-third Congress, aud glorified
themselves nnoeaBingly during the cam?
paign on the display of righteous indig?
nation they had made in refusing to
touoh the dishonestly voted buck pay.
The result of the election was, that Hib?
bard was defeated and Parker eleotcd;
but, though -differently favored by for?
tune, they showed an entire harmony of
sentiment on the subject of rascality.
The elected and the defeated have both
written to Washington and drawn the
extra compensation, and have thus
shown that with all the advantages they
have enjoyed, they are no bettor, after
all, than mere Republican Congressmen.
They are, in fact, worse, for the people
bad a right to expect better things of
them.
ThhFIbs at WiNNanoRO.?A corres?
pondent of the Evening Hera Id gives the
following particulars:
At 12.30 o'clock, this morning, the
citizens of this quiet town were aroused
from their beds by the terrible cry of
fire, which had been discovered in the
bakery of Mr. George A. White. The
fire spread, rapidly, and soon consumed
entirely the fine two-story biiok build?
ing at the railroad depot. The building
was the property of Mr. George H.
MoMaster, and in it were contained, on
the lower floor, the Weatoru Union Tele?
graph office, the office of the Southern
Express Company, the post office, Mr.
Charles Muller's jewelry store, and Mr.
White's bakery and confectionery esta?
blishment. The two out-houses at?
tached to the building were also burned.
The building was valued at $5,000, and
was oovered by an insurance of $2,500.
About $1,500 worth Of stock and per?
sonal effects, upon which there was no
insurance, were destroyed. The secoud
story was used as n Thespian Hall. The
fire was disoovored by a passengor on
the, down train of the Charlotte, Colum?
bia and Augusta 1 Railroad, whioh had
just arrived at the station. It is sup?
posed to have been an accidental fire,
evidently caused by the-rats gnawing
matches; there had been no fire in the
bake oven for twenty-four hours.
There is no fire engine here?only a
,track-rand the citizens, both white and
colored, worked with a vim in passing
water in backets, and in tearing off the
the burning shingles on toe roofs of the
neighboring houses. There was a very
high wind at. the time, and all their
efforts would have been of no avail
if the wind had not fortonately ahiftud.
At 'one time, it seemed us if the town
would be visited with a disaster worae
than the Ohe&totfiro of last winter.
Heart bending Catabtbophb.?From
Mr. Joseph Li. King, of Montvale
Springs, the Knoxville Press and Herald
learns the particulars of a sad affair
whioh oocurred near the springs, during
the storm which passed over that section
on Tuesday last. Four children, daugh?
ters of Mr. Thomas Herron, left a
sohool-houiie to go home, just as the
storm came up. Becoming frightened at
the fierceness of the wind, they turned
around to ran back to the Bohool-houso,
when two trees, falling together, struck
them to the ground in eight of the
teacher and the rest of'tbo school chil?
dren. As soon as the teaober oould get
to them, he did so, and fouud the eldest,
a girl of sixteen, so fearfully mangled
that she only lived about an hour. An?
other had her skull fraotured; the third
had her right leg and thigh broken, and
the fourth hor right arm fraotured, while
all of them were internally injured. No
hopes ore entertained of the recovory of
two of the ohildren, and tbo oaso of the
fourth cue -is considered very critical.
The father of the ohildren is n farmer
living five milcB South-west of Montvalo
Springs, in Happy Valley.
Sudden Deaths.?Yesterday after?
noon, the .body of a young mun named
Priestor, of Allendale, S. C, arrived in
this city from Shelby. A lotter, recoived
by Oolonol John L. Drotvn, of this city,
states that the young a;an died very sud?
denly, on Friday, of congestion of tho
brain, but there novery roason to believe
tho disease was tbo dreadful meningitis,
which iu so fatal in iU character. An
othor young man, Mr. McGowun, of
Laurons County, S. 0., nlso died on Fri?
day night, and will be buried to-day in
Shelby. Last accounts, brought down
on tho 5 P. M. Lincoln train, yesterday,
roport a sou of Dr. Turner, and othcra,
to bo nffootcd w.ith tho same disease.
Great excitement prevails in Shelby, and
the students of Dr. Turner's Echool uro
leaving in numbers. Throe arrived in
Charlotte yesterday afternoon, and move
will come Monday. Both of the young
men who have died, were students at Dr.
Tamer's school.?Charlotte Observer.

alarm of fire was sounded, whioh was
found to proceed from the roof of a

only a few shingles being pulled off to

The County Roads.?Commenting on
this important subject, tho Union says:
Thcro is no good reason why tho roads
in this County should not bo in good
condition. At present they aro simply
abominable. No attention worthy tho
name is given to them. Whero they aro
not perfect sand beds, they uro full of
holes, great gullies and ruts. On ull tho
roads leading out of this city, for, Hay
four miles, there aro not ten couscciftivo
rods on any one of them where a team
can trot. Thisstato of thing') is a dis?
grace to tho County officials?especially
to tho Commissioners. . Tho law makes
it their special duty to keep tho roads of
the County in good repair, giving them
ample soopo aud moans for the accom?
plishment of this necessary object. The
value and tho necessity of good roads
must bo apparent to any person who
will give tho subject a moment's reflec?
tion. A rough or sandy road is vory
wearing to teams, aud destructive to
wagons and carriages. This is a heavy
and wholly unnecessary exponso to the
pooplo. It is a burden ten-fold greater
than would be tho tux of keopiug tho
roads in good ropair. Who ever knew a
County to thrive, whoro tho pooplo con?
sented to such horrible reads as wo have
in Riohland Couuty? Is it any wonder
that tbo people of this County have such
wretched, scrawny, jaded animals, or
suoh wrecked, miserable vehicles? Slock

thoy would otherwiso be.

their parts with great zest and determi?
nation to please; and theoonsequenoe is,
they never fail to olicit the loud and fre?
quent applause of the audience. -The
programme waa excellent, including
songs, dances, jokes, conundrums, &o.t
besides many capital local hits. There
is great uniformity and well kept time in
all their movements and general arrange?
ments of stage and performers. If one

FirBMEK'S parade?occupation of a
New Hall.?Yesterdoy afternoon, there
was a parade of the fire department?the
members of tho Palmetto (Captain Stan?
ley) aud the Iudependent (Captain Dor
sey) steamers parading with tho Phoenix
Axe, Hook and Ladder Company, (Cap?
tain Little,) and escorting them to their
now truck house. It is a commodious
two-story frame building, provided for
them by the City Council, on the East
sido of tho park, and well adapted to the
purpose?a shelter for* the apparatus on
the first floor, and a hall on the second.
The companies assembled about 3^
o'clock, and, preceded by the splendid
baud of the 18th Infantry, paraded
through tho prinoipal streets. The fine
mule teams of Messrs. Thos. Harperand
R. a. Keoqan furnished tho propelling
power for tho heavy steamers; while the
Hook and Ladder men manned their
drag ropes?Chief Jackson managing the
tiller. The different machines were ex?
ercised after their peculiar styles, and
tho performance gave infinite satisfac?
tion. After tho exeroises were con?
cluded, the companies reformed and
marched to their respective buildings,
where tho apparatuses were boused,
when the members proceeded to the
Phoenix Hall, and partook of a substan?
tial collation, which was heartily relished
after the vigorous exercise through
which the men bad recently been put.
Captain Little was called upon, and
mado some stirring remarks, whioh were
greeted with rounds of applause.
Captain Dorsey next mounted the ta?
ble, aud gave a sentiment: "I'bePhconix
Hook and Ladder Company; although
they have a 'Little' in front, they are al?
ways safe while thoy have a 'Jackson' in
tho rear. Mr. Dorsey was voaiferously
cheered.
After music by tho band, Captain
Stanley was called, who said he remem
berod well when tho fire department was
in its infancy?when there were nothing
but tho smallest hand engines made in
Boston. By degrees tho department
gained strength, purchased larger en
giucs, ami fiually succeeded in securing
tho beautiful steamers thoy now have.
Captain Stanley closed with the follow?
ing toast: "Tho Phcenix Hook and
Ladder Company?Miiy they, one .and
all, succeed in always attaiuiog tho top?
most round of tho ladder." Hisromaiks
were loudly applauded.
After musio by tho band, Mr. L. C.
Carpenter, of tho Union, responded to a
toast to tho press, in a few appropriate
romarks, concluding as follows: "In
response to the toast to the press, I can
but say, as one of tho humblest membbrc,
that we are over roady to do our duty to
the fire department, and that,?o far as I
am immediately concerned, I will do
willingly all that man can do to build up
tho firo department of Columbia." Mr.
Carpente r was frequently applauded, and
at the closo of his remarks, the baud
struck up "Dixie," when the party broke
up aud returned to thoir respective head?
quarters.

Thomas Nast has emerged from his re?
tirement in New Jersey, penciled one or
two harmless and stupid pictures, re?
ceived the appointment of Commissioner
to Vienna, aud embarked for the Aus?
trian capital. The question now arises,
what will the "Journal of Civilization"
do' for its weekly supply of pictorial
blackguardism? The gifted artist who
slandered Groeloy into his grave, and
whose fool assaults npon everybody and
everything whioh his employers dislike,
have made him bo deaervodly notorious,
may be a curiosity at the great* exposi?
tion; but who can supply hier place at
home? America is prolific in dirty talent
of all sorts, but we ecsrcoly think she is
able to duplicate Nast, And where will
tho "civilization" of the aforesaid "jour?
nal" bo without Nast?

Not So Bad After All.?Those hold?
ers who got so soared, and sold out at
ruinous rates the bills of the Bank of
the State they held, are hedging a little
just now. It is apparent that tho deci?
sion of the Supreme Court of the State,
relative to the firo loan debt, and the
holders of the bills and tho creditors,
Messrs. Baring Brothers, of Liverpool
and London, whioh decided that a pro
rata payment should be made, will pot
the bills np, say, from thirty to fifty
cents'on the dollar. The point in the
United States Sapreme Court was, that
thoy wero not receivable for taxes, the
special Act of 1841 having repealed the
section making them bo.

Tho lines of ocean steamers now com?
prise 130 vessels, and it is a very {signifi?
cant fact that not duo of these Hues is
purely American, and only ono has bnt
littlo American capital. The foreign,
steamship interest is immense, the inter?
course between the two hemispheres as
frequent ob it wab forty yoars ago bo
tweon two of our American States, aud
except now and then, when an appalling
disaster liko the loss of the Atlantic
occurs, the general public feel littlo
sense of insecurity in ocean travel. The

Whito Star, the Guion, tho National,
