Tuesday Morning, Hay 13," 1873.
Th^k EunoPHan Exor>tiB ?Great
tain, Germany and France, and other
countries of Europe, are swelling the
tide, of emigration new sweeping across
the Atlantic to the shores of America.
. . The Liverpool Daily Poti. of the 18th of
April, under She head of "Great Exodus j
from Liverpool," has an article on the
opening of the emigration eeason, from"
whl?h we learn that:
"Although the first quarter of 1873
showed ?-alight decrease in the returns
of emigration from Liverpool, -the great
oat flow ainoe the oommencenient ox the
regular season ipdloates that the present
spring will witness the departure of
Sgn^^^^;?w,e **dat
to em?
bark at Liyerpool; now they prefer to go
Soath, or Londonderry, In the North of
Iretod. j^agttT ' f '
??The large proportion ot Bogliah
agrionltural Jaborepre naw emigrating is
an unosnal featore, and the arrange?
ments of the leading pW*?nahip compa?
nies for the ensuing two months inolude
the deportation of small oojonies of farm
laborers andjarjtifans Irom, the South of
England."
In four days, (April. 11 to 17, inclu?
sive,) twelve trans-Atlantio steamers and
one clipper, laden with emigrants, had
sailed from the Mersey to that land of
promise-?the new world. In the absence
of organized, efforts on the part of the
South, hut. few of the emigrants now
coming to this country will find their
way to this, section. .The.great moss Of
them will go..Weal wand, whoro cheap
lands, comfortable homes and remunera
. iive employment await thprir coming.

The year is yef yotyng^ but its -record
of illustrious': dt>^d 1? already long.
Abroad, the ex Empe*?r Napoleon, Bui
wer, Liebig and John Stuart Mill have
died, and the-Pope lingers on the con?
fines of the gravo, reported dead one
day and conyalefoent the next. The
United States: bas? lost , since the 1st of
January, Chief Jostlde Obase, Governor
Geary, MiniaterOrx, Bishop Mollvaine,
Gomodore Mairy. Joshua Leavitt, Gen.
- Oanby, James Brooks, Oaken Ames, Mrs.
Harrison Gray Otis, and other promi?
nent men and'women. The dead of
1872 made an, im poping; array of names,
but this year threatens to wholly eclipse
its record. ? There seem to be no giants
to take the places of the great men the
world is losing, .bat, whenever any exi?
gency shall ariso, no doubt the man to
copewith if will also come to the fore.
The money fiend has become the pre?
siding gehiqs of all: occasions whore the
American peoplo have a.national cause,
as well as where individual or corporate
interests invite'his' pi actable and pleasing
intercession" 'in their, affairs'. He goeo
eyory where and is master pf ceremonies,
wherever .ceremony ootnea 4p tc authority,
and on all occasions isL l?jiowod by com
m issi on ere 1 of investigation, through
whom everything la;rop'prted proper for
us to know, anc( by which we are at last
assured tbat the; god of Americans hails
from Dante's abyss' and that he is the
genius of money.; This disturbing fiend
has got matters in commotion at the
Vienna great ihow.where the memory of
London and Paris had inspired hopes
that a high-toned and. manly bearing, as
well as an Impressive array of testimo?
nies' denoting power and progress as a
people, would characterise the American
effort to promote' our influence abroad
and fraternize with1 Wations;' the means
of which must be conjured from, the
figure we make in the great international
contest for superiority in the world's arts
and industries. It is humiliating to
think that the people and visitors of the
Austrian capital should be first intro?
duced to that great institute the latest
of American growth and progress, known
as the investigating committee. But it
it neoessarily follows in the wake of the
diabolical, genius that seems to preside
over the present destinies of the repub?
lic. The Government at Washington,
having learned that some of its agents
bad been on the steal, waa obliged to
suspend all of them. In the meantime,
? an investigation, presided over by Mr.
Jay, the American Commissioner, has
taken place at Vienna, and we shall
speedily have some information of the
exploits of the trafficking commissioners.
Whatever strides may be made by Ame?
rican art and industry, it seems idle to
expect that they will outrun American
avarice and venality.

^Ihp community of this place and
neighborhood gave evidence, yesterday,
immediately upon receiving news of the
death of Hon. James* Lt. Orr, of the
esteem in which he was held here at his
home* where he was born, and where he
baa lived no obsoure or uneventful life,
in f rien 11 j iutoroo arte or friendly rivalry
with his neighbors and life-long compa?
nions* They gathered almost sponta?
neously in the Oonrt House, and in
simple, unafleeted langnage, revealed
thefr deep afleotiou and etrong personal
regard for him. Hon. J. Scott Murray
was called to j the Gbair, and James A.
Hojt, E;sq., of the Intelligencer, appoint?
ed Secretary. In explaining the object
of the moating, the Chairman made a
few remarks, complimentary'to the de?
ceased,-and- appropriate to the ead occa?
sion. Dr. 0. B. Brojlcs end Messrs. O.
H. P. Fant, W. Banford Brown, John
B. Moore and B. F. Gray ton reported
the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas the people of the town and
County of Anderson have been deeply
grieved by tho sad intelligence of the
death, of our distingaished friend and
fellow -citizen, the Son. dames L. Orr,
at St. Petersburg, on the 6th instant;
and whereas we, his neighbors and
friends, who have known him most inti?
mately in all the sooial and official rela?
tions of hia pubiio and private life, are
deeply sensible of his worth and virtues,
and of the great loss we have sustained
in his sadden and unexpected demise;
and whereas we are desirous of giving
some expression to the feeling of sorrow
which pervades this entire community,
and to the respect we entertain for bis
memory; therefore, be it
' Resolved, That in the death of the
Hon. James Li. Orr, we feel that we have
lost* most valued friend and faithful
pubiio servant. *
Resolved, That a committee of twenty
gentlemen be appointed by the Ghair
i man of this meeting to reoeive his re
> meine in the oily ?* Hew York, and to
accompany them to their last resting-,
place in this town.
Resolved, That in this molanoholy be?
reavement, we tender our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy.to the"family of the
deceased.
In acQordanoe with the second resolu?
tion, the Chairman appointed the de?
sired committee.
a Cot, J. P. Itopd ?eoonded the resolu?
tions in an extended speeoh, in which he
detailed inoidepfe in the life of Jadge
Orr and reminiscences of personal asso?
ciation with him. He bore testimony to
the purity of hia motives in his political
career. If he sought honorable posi?
tions, it was for his country's sake, as
well as for his own. He was not always
understood, because he-was governed as
much by events as by principles. But it
was in persona! intercourse that he shone
moet conspicuously. As a neighbor, a
friend, a citizen, he could not be ex?
celled irr kindly, offices or publio-spirited
duties. Mr. Beed was followed bj Bev.
L. M. Ayer, in the. following touching
address: M ten 1
Mb. Cnantiian: i feol that I may fairly
oTtim Ih? ead' privilege of saying a few
words on trlis solemn and painful occa?
sion. My longstanding intimate per?
sonal1 relations with the distinguished
deceasod, warrant me in - uniting with
you in this public expression of sympa?
thy and condolence with his bereaved
family! 'The sorrowful tidings of the
j untimely death ot the Hon. James L
I Orr, which have so stricken down with
grfef this whole community, have like?
wise bruised my own heart. From our
boyhood days to tho end of his life, he
and I have been close and sincere per?
sonal friends. I knew him intimately and
loved him well. Oar acquaintance oom
menood at the University of Virginia, in
1839. It soon ripened into confidence
and a hearty friendship, which was never
interrupted or chilled for a single mo?
ment throughout onr lives. Mr. Orr's
was one of those high-aouled, magnani?
mous, genial natare?, that rendered tho
maintenance of very warm personal re?
lations entirely practicable, in spite of
the widest political differences. Ho was
a sincere, unselfish and truo friond,
wherever he professed friendship. He
was essentially a trae man. There is a
necessary and wide distinction between
the philosophical statesman and the
practical politician; between tho theorist
who devises beautiful' and perfect sys?
tems of government and the leader of
the people who, in conducting tho nooos
sary affairs of aotual goverment, oan
only aim, with hope of success, at ap?
proximating, as nearly as may be, to?
wards ideal exoellenoe. The latter, after
each important political movement, must
decide simply as to the next beat step
forward. A very high degree of wisdom
and skillful discretion are always essen?
tial to the proper taking of these next
best steps. In this practical and most
useful department or branoh of states?
manship, Mr. Orr was pre-eminently
gifted, Bagaoious and successful. Per?
haps in this particular lay the funda?
mental error of the South. We aimed
at a perfection that should secure the
jast and legitimate right* of ?11?mtoori
tiee as well as mejoritiea-and*fce*heory
was too flnj?-spon, artistic and refined to
work in-pn?lfoe. The virtue and inter
ligeaooof tie nation was not ?qu?l to
the exalted task that our forefathers
nndertook to embody in - the/,$?ed*fml
Constitution. fj? ?
Mr. Orr took men and thing* aa he
found them, and dealt with' them in a
masterly manner, doing credit at the
earn e time to hie heart and his head. He
loved his country, hjs State, and particu?
larly i bis qwvpcople.' ?ou .were proud,
and juBtlt proud, of him, and he was no
lets proud of yon. He habitually spoke
o! hia oonet?uests, of hi- people at
home, in warm abd affectionate terms.
And now you hate assembled to express
your great grief for his death, and it is
fitting that you should do so. Express
yourselves, then, earnestly and truly,
and testify to your sorrow by making
suitable expression of it, and rearing to
his honored memory a monoment, Upon
whioh shall be inscribed his worth, his
virtues and the benefits resulting to his
country from his labors; that your eons
may read of them, that they may strive
to fariiiato him. &qd let them thus learn
how muoh may be accomplished by
striving to become men useful and
honored in their day and generation.
It is your privilege bo to do, as it is the
privilege and duty of every people, to
pay the last sad honors due to their dis?
tinguished dead in a manner most suita?
ble and becoming.
Mr. Oalhoun oooe said to me, in speak?
ing of a certain great and distinguished
man, who had left most minute and par?
ticular directions concerning hia own
burial, tomb stone and epitaph, tbat
suoh little dotaila should have been be?
neath the notice of so great a man; be
should rather have left his countrymen
to do as .they thought best witb hia life?
less remains. Public men belong to the
public?living or dead; their lives con?
stitute part of the history of the country.
James Ii. Orr was yours?your repre?
sentative, and to you belongs the sad
right to dispose of bis body properly.
Every man in this country feela tbat Mr.
Orr had an interest .in him porsonally,
for he was one. of those trne noblemen of
nature who feel so secure of their own
position tbat they do not think it in the
least degrading to their dignity to min?
gle freely with all classes and conditions
of men. The plainest countryman was
received by bim with politeness and affa?
bility. Therefore, be was the friend of
one and all, and it becomes his townsmen
to endeavor to do everything in their
power to express their appreciation of
hia services. As a dear and valued
friend of my own, I had looked forward
to,hie return to his native town 'with
fond anticipations, hoping once more to
enjoy his society, as I had in by-gone
days. But it was not to be so, in the
providence of Qod, and as 'I recall to
memory the companions of my boyhood
and- early manhood, who have been
called from time into eternity, it makes
my heart sad; bat
"Friend after friend departs?
Who his not loat a triend?
There is no union of hearts
Whioh has not hore an end.
Were this frail world our final rest.
Living; or dying, none wero bleat."
The meeting was a large ono, embrac?
ing all classes and conditions, and per?
vaded by a common sense of irreparable
bereavement. Large numbers of ladies
were present, drawn tbither by the sym?
pathy and respect which the female i
heart so readily entertains and so
promptly and purely manifests on ocoa-,
sions of distress, either public or pri?
vate. Opinions may vary as to the mat
rite and services of James L. Orr as a
politician, bnt all hearts here testify to
his social worth and bis high excellence
as a man.
The New York Herald, referring to the
oonflict in St. Martins, asks:
"Do the American people pause to re?
flect upon the fatal consequences of this
condition of society in one of tbe sove?
reign States of the Union? Do they
persuade themselves that the liberties of
tho people of Louisiana can be stripped
from them, that the legally-eleoted of?
ficers of the Louisiana State Government
can be driven from power at tbe point of
the bayonet, and tbe liberties ana rights
of other communities and other States
be yet preserved? The occurrences in
Louisiana to-day are fraught with dan?
ger to thepeaoe of the Union aod to tho
lives of hnndreds of thousands of inno?
cent persans."
If the people of tho Northern States
realized the extent and gravity of the
issues involvod in the conflict in Louisi?
ana, there would be some hope of effect?
ing a change in tho polioy of tbo talking
ox of the White House. But tbey do
not fully realize the situation, and tbey
will not realize it until tho bayonet is
plaoed at their own throats.

no Southern man will feel comfortable

gineer, who has already made a sorvey
of the harbor, estimates tbat it will cost
from 81,000,000 to $5,000,000 to make it
accessible. This would be quite an ele?

patriots waiting and watching serenely
the consummation whioh will make the

Some time since, Bev. Mr. Talley wrote
a brief biographical sketch of his life,
which the preaoher read, as follows:
"I, Nicholas Talley, was born near
Richmond, Va., May 6,1791. At Bark's
camp meeting, August 5, 1810, I made
an outward profession of Christinn faith,
lute Sabbath evening. My joy was inex?
pressible. The immediate occasion of
my conversion was a powerful exhorta?
tion by Rev. Hope Hull, which was ap?
plied to my heart by the holy spirit. I.
felt a deep concern for the souls of all
i for whom Christ died, but was too timid
I to talk to others. I was often impressed
as to my duty, but would shake it off,
excusing myself first on the ground of
i my inoompetenoy, and secondly, I feared
I should injure my two older brothers,
I who had jest entered tho ministry. In
August, 1811, I went with Rev. Jesse
E StanBel on his circuit, who would have
! me to preach at one of his appointments.'
This was most trying to my sonl, but the
effort had to be made. My first text was,
'What is truth?' and never, during my
ministry, did I undertake to preach on a
greater subject. I was recommended to
the conference from Walker's Church',
near Greensboro, December following.
I was received and. sent in charge of the
Little Pee Dee Circuit, then having
twenty-eight or twenty-nina churches,
and 700 members,', scattered 'for upwards
of 100 miles. Bev. Thos. Stan bor ry was
my colleague."
For many years, Mr. Talley kept a
diary. The last entry was made May
2, 1873, as follows: "My birth-day,
eighty-two. I have lived on the bounty
and goodness of God. I feel grateful
and happy to believe He doeth all things
well.

glary, and this morning brought in three
I stalwart white men on suspicion. The
men were found in Carroll's Woods, be?
yond the tin bridge, by Policeman F. J.
Allen, one of them being asleep' at the
time and the other two eating breakfast
from a brown pitcher, They gave their
names, whioh are probably flotitioof, as
I James Blake, John White and Henry
Morrison, and they are, in appearance,
pretty fair representatives of profession?
als. Besides several small earns of
money, the following . described gold
Watches Were found upon one of them:

Going fob a Cake of Soap.?Did you
ever see a man fish around in the bottom
of a tab of water for a piece of soap? At
the first, he simply reaches down npon
it to pick it right up, and is very much
surprised to nod that he hasn't got it.
Then he approaches it more oautiocsly,
Suta his hand over it, and then comes
own noiselessly till he gets every finger
about it, and then squeezes it tight, and
misses it. 'He looks at it for a moment
before making another effort, and fills
op the interval with a few remarks.
The third attempt is a sort of semi-oirole
described with a great deal of sagacity,
but is a failure. Other remarks follow.
Then he makes a succession of dives,
and slops the water over bis clothes, and
drenches the carpet, and catches hold of
the soap several times, and lets go of it
again, and screams at the top of his
voioe; and, finally, in perfect despair,
sits down on the floor aha actually howlr.
