was to withdraw his attention from the
contemplation OF an overwhelming do
mestic calamity, over which he had long
brooded in solitude. The youthful and
lovely partner of his bosom, together
with an infant daughter, persisted before
his eyes in the Santee. He was over
whelmed with grief, and gave himself
up to solitude and despair He would
sill motionless, it is said, for days with
his hat drawn over his eyes, and his head
thrown on his bosom. From this situa

after many efforts, succeeded in draw
