DrED, on the 9TH inst, At Rodney, Miss. !,
Mrs. WARREN G. HEnRr. She wasa ma
tive of Kentucky, but had been resident
in Mississippi for several years, and was
much and deseryedly esteemed by the small
circle to whom she was intimately known !.
Less than short fleeing year his passed
away since she was united in marriage to
Mr.. Warren g. Henry, Of this place; and
about two weeks ago she was ushered into
thoIimost tender and endearing relationship
which woman can sustain in this world, by
giving birth to a son; and for some days sub
'seqnent, appeared 10 be gradually, though
slowly, approaching convalescont state.
Death, however, had marked her for his
victim, and after week Of great pain and
suffering, endured with christian frmness
and cheerful resignation, she babe adieu to
every earthly object and sunk into the arms
Of death with a full consciousness Of her
fate, and with calmness and composure
which nothing but a firm conviction Of her
interest in the atoning sacrifice could inn
part.
"Friend after friend departs,
Who hath not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts,
Which hath not here an end.'

ssHow any southerner, whig or democrat,
can reconcile it to his conscience to aid in
the support Of Gen. Harrison, is to US mex
pI;cable. His sentiments respecting the
institution Of slavery, are such as no friend
to southern interest and prosperity, can for
moment sanction or sustain. Grand
Gulf Advertiser.
by the above the editor Of the Adverti-
ser intends to say that Gen. Harrison is an
abolitionst, we most unequivocally pro-
nounce the assertion base and Infamous
falsehood; and call upon Mr.. Smyth to re-
tract this vile SANDER, or substantiate his
charge by undoubted testimony. The edl-
tor of the Advertiser cannot certainly be
SO profoundly ignorant Of the history Of as
prominent man as Gen. Harrison, as not
to know that he was defeated when candi-
date for Congress, in 1922, because he Uoted
against the Missouri restriction;* and that
he publicly and fearIessly denied the right
of his constituents to instruct him upon the
subject of slarery in other States; and that
he ever has been, in all situations and under
all circumstances, the bold and uncompro-
missing opponent Of the mad schemes Of the
fanatics who have waged merciless war
against the domestic institutions Of the
South.
But while upon the subject of abolition,
we will PROFOUND TO Mr.. Smyth three que
ries, which we hope he will have the can
dor to answer yea or nay:
Did not Martin Van Buren,, in 1922, vote
to restrict the introduction Of slapes into tn
Territory Of Florida?
Did not Martin Van Buren,, in 1921, il
the legislature of New York, vote to Civ
