Mrs Chesnut was the widow of the late ex-Senitor James Chesnut, and was well known throughout the entire State. Her genial nature, her brilliant talent, her very many accomplishments endeared her to all who new her, and her loss to those who new her best will create a void hard to fill. The General preceded her but two years ' ago, and she passed quietly away after a long sickness and much suffering, She was buried. yesterday at the fanfiily buryiug ground at Knights Hill? in this county. Information for Emigrants. For the information of those peo- ' pie who are anxious to leave our State and go to the so-called "fruit- < ful fields and pastures green' 01 Texas we will give the following ex- ! tract from an exchange in reference to what is now to be seen oat there: 1 "The destitution and suffering that ] has resulted from the protracted ] drought in Texas is exciting the sympathy and appealing to the charitably inclined everywhere A sec- 1 tion of the Lone Star Statetf>00 miles ( long and 400 miles wide was for * fifteen months without rainfall enough to quench human thirst, to ( nothing of nourishing the crops, .And many of ithe inhabitants are Without food save what is sent to ! from other Sjtates.

An occasion that many enjoyed?who had the good fortune to be there. The entertainment given by the ladies of the Baptist Church, at Town Hall on Friday evening last, was one of the most refined and en'joyable occasions that wo have had I the pleasure of attending in a long I while. After pray? r by the Rev. Mr. i Fulton, the Misses Thomson opened ; the programme by singing the beanj tiful duet?"Ever of Thee." Mrs. W. : C. Thomson then read in perfect and excellant style, the "Prisoner of | The Hall was prettily adorned with wreaths and festoons of flowers and evergreens, and in the rear were a number of tastefully arranged tables, presided over by courteous 1 matrons and pretty girls, who, with ' grac'ous smiles and arts that beguile, would sell you anything in. the line of hot suppers, fruits, ladies . fancy work and earthquake euriosi( ties, hence old bachelors and young sprigs were relieved of considerable cash, but they had the consolation of 1 knowing that it was spent in a good cause, and were only sorry that they had not more to spend.
