Hon. James L. Orr, of 8outh Carolina.
The election of this distinguished gentleman
to the Speakership of lbs House of Representatives,
was a compliment not more to
hiui than to that conservative sentiment of
sterling State rights Democracy, of which his
political career lias ever been so oousisleolly
snd beautifully illustrative. And that as
ucn it is appreciated t>y every admirer of
bis intellectual ability and manly virtues, not
only in South Carolina, but throughout the
Union, we have not a doubt.
There are few such men as James L. Orr
in the councils of the country. And in say*
iug so, we mean no discredit to his compeers.
From an admirably written memoir
of him, by W. II. Topping, Esq., we propose
to extract a few of the many interesting incidents
in his political history, which may not
be unacceptable to our readers, especially
since his elevation to the prominent position
he now holds. Mr. Orr is a native of South
Carolina. lie has not yet reached the thirty-sixth
year of his age. At eighteen he
entered as a student at the University of
Virginia, where, after attaining proficiency
in moral philosophy, political economy,
belles let t res, Ac., he devoted himself exclusively
and assiduously to the law. At twen
ty-one he was admitted to the bar at Anderson,
South Carolina, where he also established
and edited a newspaper called the Anderson
" Gazette." His affable bearing and
elevated character soon rendered him highly
popular with all classes of society, and
when little more than twenty-two, he was
elected to the Legislature, with a higher vote
tbau any other man in the State, and that,
too, in a distiict which had before given a
decided Whig majority. He soon became
[imminent hs a man ot sound judgment. I
nnd an earnest advocate of the rights of
the pocjile. At twenty-six, he was elected
to Congress, after an active and excited canvass,
by a majority of seven hundred over a
Democratic competitor. And he has ever
since, we believe, been regularly re-elected
without opposition.
His congressional career has been marked
with unostentatious but efficient service to his
Slate, to his country and to tho Democratic
party, lie is as true to the outh as the
trusty steel to a brave heart and stalwart
arm. But he appreciates and cherishes the
Union; and has done much towards quieting
the troubled spirit of his own chivalric
South Carolina. From his early advent upon
the politicl stage, Mr. Orr has been eminently
characterized by that frankness in the
avowal and boldness in the maintenance of
his opini>n9, without which no man should,
or ever can, command the confidence of the
American people sufficiently to be an elected
lender in those crises that sometimes cast
portentous rbadowa over our country, and
stagger iuto bew ildered inactivity all but the
stoutest hearts, in the South. Ilia political
career furnishes an example worthy of imitation.
As a parliamentarian, he has no
superior?he is an admirable speaker, and
commands the attention and respect of every
member of the House.

from Fayetteville, (N. C.,) give* some additional
particulars of lite suicide of the Editor,
Mr. W. F. .Wigbtmnn, and M. 8. Elliot, who
were found defld ip their bed. In the room
were found two letters written by Mr. Wightman
f in one of them he savs.:
"One pf U!J (Wightnian) hty? had this in
confemplatio.? for mo years, and that .pojv,

his brain so thai lite jury of ?.n9ue*t? ar,(i the
public would be convinced that tt.1'" mode of
death was not from any temporary ln^an,tyi
but was the choice of both Elliot and m
self."
In the other note, Mr. Wightman requests
that as Mr. Elliot was the only true friend
he ever had, that in death they tnight not
be divided ; but desired that both might be
interred together. 1
The verdict of the jury was that they |
both came to their death by taking Cyanide I
of Potaisi'i. .
Mr. Elliot eamc from GriiBn, Georgia;
had lived hero for eighteen months, and was
much beloved by the fsw intimate friends (
which bo had made. Mis remains were in- I

Death of Col. Henry G. Johnson.
This old and highly esteemed citizen of
out District, died at his residence, on Friday
last, after a shoit but painful illness. He
leaves a widow and two children, together
with a largo circle of admiring friends, to
mourn his death. No man ever received a
warmer or more devoted attachment from

melancholy duty to record. Col. Johnson
was, at the time of his death, in tho 72d j

Masonic fraternity, of which order he was a 1
shining light?a free and accepted brother.
May his spirit rest in that happy Lodge in

which occupies a place in the City Hall,

our readers, that this statue is somewhat mutilated,
occasioned by the wreck of the ship

Mr. Powsrs was engaged to repair
the injury, but was unable to oomplete the
work until recently. The Charleston Otmritr
says;
* We are happy to report that the substituted
arm has now been received, and
was accompanied by a letter of full instruotions

of J. Johksow Pamoacar, Esq., in oppeei- .1

meets the arguments of the friends of the
movement, that, instead of re-publishing a j
portion of it, (being unable to insert the j

light upon that subject. As South Carolina ,
had but little or nothing to do with the
Slsve Trade, when Congress formerly legal- ,
izcd the busineest we think she should not.
at this late day, enter into it; more particu- 1
larly since the weighty reasons, which are
urged in the minority's report, exist to render
it both injurious and obnoxious to the 1
