Governor ILiciiakdsoS departed this ! { life at his Sand Hills residence, in Clarendon j i District, on Sunday, the 24th ultimo, in the ' i sixty-third year ot his age. Hi? health had de-; t clined for some years, and he had withdrawn1, i in a great measure, from all public service on j j that account, although his mind retained its . > \ vigor and activity without diminution, as was j s {Itnclrotusl in tlin crwwu-li tin ilclivnroil lil-fiivt? t lu> I 1 State Convention in October, 1SC2, which was ! ] his last effort in his country's service. He at j J tended on that occasion, and kept his place ' ] during the Convention, although liis physical j i condition had been much impaired, and the : ] duty imposed on him grfeat exhaustion. | < Descended from a family of distinction, and j ( surrounded by powerful connections, and strong : political influences, lie soon imbiberl a taste lor ' public service, and attained great excellence in I ( forensic skill, lie eailv look his place ir the t Legislature of the Slate, acquired reputation bv i his energy in action, hi* prom pi and rapid per- j : ...

To these he. ;i*!<led a remarkable attraction of c manners, ami genial sentiment, which rout rile j ' utcd to render liim a popular ami general linor- j t ite, botli in am! out of the Legislature. He was transferred, by tile vniee of a large ! and respectable cm stilucncy, from this limited ; ' field to the more extended ami enlarged sphere j' which surrounded him in the F. derai Council j I , of the then. United States, ami won for himself j | equal laurels in Congress. Having been a conspicuous leader of one of the two parties which had existed in this State in 'Hti and '33, hut enjoying the respect ami ' esteem of holli, with a wide spread and general j , popularity, he was accepted as one most likely to harmonize the disuniting elements, the . friendly coalition of which was then anxiously desired. Under these circumstances he was elected, bv h large ami flattering vote, to the j nf'tlu.

THE TRUE VERS!OS GF THE ARREST OF fl GF.S TO OMRS. 11 "\Vc have said nothing of the recent, arrest " of General (now Colonel) Toombs, awl Ins trial, " now progressing before a Court Martial, in this '' cite, for the reason that we regarded it as sim plv a case of military discipline in whieh the ' public would feel no particular interest. l'?i t it scents the event has got abroad : the store, gathering most tnarvellotislv as it travelled, is '' (lone up at length in the 1 i -hmoud papers with ' an almost endless varictv of minutia and spcoulations, not one of which is correct. It is, there- I fore, duo to General Toombs, and to truth, that 1 the facts should be stated as tltev are. And in the outset, we would assure our Richmond eotomporaries tliat the "treason," 1 Vdislovsiltv."^*pas>p >rt.' and "oh 1 women"'parts s of the storv are nil pure fabrication.'-. The facts 1 * arc well known here to be as follows, or per ' haps we should say tli i as the trial has n^t vet been concluded. 1 General Toombs was at Augusta, with a rcgi- j mcnt of vjtatc troops recently mist :red int. > the ? < lonfedcriAe service for a limited term, and which i he commaiVled. 11 is command was about to < take tlic car.yior Sa\auah cold i davs the lav to i > travel ' 9^^ / ? h r'-"'?

Whether the tires were put 01 or not we did not learn, but the agent, bein jut- u u in bored, offered 110 further resistanc ind the train with the troops left for Savanna! J'he agent reported the ease to the llailroa ['opipanv, and on their complaint to the mil are authorities. ' ien. Toombs was arscste lud carried be.ore a Court oartial. Such are the facts as we have learned tliei Tom apparently reliable sources, if any otlu . ircunistanees entered'into tiio cause of .M luomlw' arrest it .has not come to our know :dgc.?
