Now, Sir, after these long years of , edious and irksome duties fraught with tremendous usefulness, with shattered nerves and broken health and old age and a numerous and constantly increasing and dependent family growing on apace, I am reluctantly (oh! how reluctantly!) compelled to tender my resignation and doff my judical robes, and I do so with feelings akin to those stirring one parting forever from the idol of his heart.

' Much uneasiness was caused in Greenville on the 8th inst. by the circulation of rumors that ex-Gov. 13. F. Perry had been suddenly and seriously attacked by illness at Sans Souci, his residence, three and a half miles out of town. Investigation eliciied the welcome fact that the stories in circulation were exaggerations of the truth. On Sunday the Governor had a slight attack of vertigo which caused him to fall, bruising himself slightly. l)r. T. T. Earlc was sent for, and after an examination allayed tho fears of the family, which had been aroused by the sudden attack and the succeeding period of entire or partial insensibility. Representative W. H. Perry and B. l'\ Perry, Jr.. sons of the Governor, went down to the Stale fair on yesterday morning, their father's improved condition allowing them to lonvo Late in the afternoon Governor Perry suffered another attack, and l)r. Earle was again sent for in haste, causing a revival of the rumors. It is said the Governor had suffered a new attack, but there were no serious results.?Greenville JVetw*. Hon. Capers Will Sot Ho. The Itev. Ellison Capers, the rector of Christ Church, has written a letter to the gentleman who communicated wit!) him in behalf of the diocese of Easton. Maryland, tendering him an election to the bishopric, giving his final answer. It is a declination. The decision has been reached after full and proper consideration of the case in all its aspects. It is not generally known that the present overture is not the first Gen. Capers has received from the same dio cese. Before the election of the Rev. Kinloch Nelson, of Virginia, several months ago, Gen. Capers was coinmunicatcd with and earnestly urgad to 1 allow his name to go before the diocesan convention, the solicitation being accompanied with assurances of warm and influential support. This was immediately doclined, and the facts were known at the time only to a few of Gen. Caper's more intimate friends*. The answer given to this last call will be known with heartfelt pleasure hero and in the State at large, where General Capers is so unanimously loved as a man and esteemed and valued as a clergyman and a citizen.
