OBITUARY.

Departed this life OH the Cd day of June last,
Miss EMMELIsE PREscorr, daug ghler Of Rich.
nrd aud Nancy Prescott, of this District, aged
% years. This young woman became the sub
ject OF regeneraling grace, during the protract-
ed meeting held with the Baptist Churchin this
place, last fall. After being buried with Christ
in Baptism, she became a member of the
Church. The illness, which terminated her
mortal life, afforded the opportunity Of testing
the genuineness and efficacy of her faith most
satisfactorily. Her pnins, which were severe,
were borne with christian patience aud resig-
nation. She spoke much Of Christ, as her
friend, that would never leave or forsake her,
and exhorted those around her,ito seek him as
their friend. Her appealsto, her parents, and
her mother in particular, were most. touching,
And when her last hour came, she meekly re.
signed her spirit to her God, and sweety fell
asleep in Jesus. -

On the Goth inst. about 270 ladies' aud seven
or eight hundred gentlemen assembled ut Mrs.

met by the Committee and conducted 10 seat
AT IL o'clock Dinner was announced. when
the ladies were seated to the table, handsomely
and richly furnished, by the citizens of the
neighborhood After the ladies had dined the
table was replenishcd abundantly with the same
luxuries, of which The gentlemen partook, in the
true republican style. n5iT
After the cloth was removed, the following
regular toasts were offered:
lst. The Hon. F. w Pnkens, our guest
a sterling advocate for the rights OF the South
AN able defender Of the Democratic cause
devoted Agrcuturist, and in favor of imme-
diate Annexation:-The people Of Edgefield
know his worth, and will ever duly appreciate
it a.is e-sf fieg yas-
After the cheering had ceased, Col. Pickens
took the stand, which was responded to by a
general applause from the assembled multitude.
After returning his thanks and gratitude in a
feeling manner, for their kindness in rendering
him this dinner, and their cordial reception of
him, he addressed the company for two hours,
in his usual eloquent and animated style--he
spoke on the Tariff, and illustrated its effects
upon hesexports and imports ofthe country,
and connected it with the currency, maintain
ing that United States Bank and Tariff for
Protection, necessarily went together; that the
expanded circulation created by the one, was
necessary to raise the. home price. SO as to in
demnify for he'increased cost ofproduclon

ofodious INJUSTICE and oppression was complete

this ever should be perpetrated by trampIng

He nlso explained at large the Texas ques.

that its annexation would preserve the peace

are very far from approving Of the course
Of the Journal. Our connection with the
press has satisfied US that If any class of
mechanics earn hardly their suslenance
they are printers. We think their. prices
are moderate, and are not disposed to lend
our aid in docking their wages. q
If the Journal has represented truly, the
increase Of his subscription list since his
wonderful conversion to whiggery, he has
but little excuse for soliciting Tor begging!l
advertisements at half price, we opine
that his new allies in accordance with
their established usage will pay him in
promises. A few months will satisfy him of
their intrinsic value-especially if these
promises are,drawn upon and dishonored,
at as early date az some of the like des-
cription were after the cider campaign Of
40. An editor, however lean, Iank and
hungry he may look, must have a more
substantial diel Than mere promises. Ills
hard indeed that this wonderful apostle of
Whigsery should be driven to the dire ne
cessity of petitoning for advertising. at
half prices, to afford that support which
his new and delighted allies refuse to
give him. Does tho editor suspect moth
ns from this fact? His brethren are in
doubt whether he will slick to them
through the campaign, and we should not
be at all surprised TO learn at any time
that he had become "ranting Ioco-foco."
We ask the editor, seriously, what cause
be has TO complain at us! II has not been
more than 8 months since we copied,
wilhoul charge of course, the Prospectus
of the Fifth Volume of the Journal four
times, although our political principles
were totally at variance with his, aud
nearly half a column of our paper was
taken up with The prospectus.-Were we
under any obligations 10 him before that
time! What right then has he TO COM
plain at our copying the advertisement of
of the Advertiser! The Editor of the
Advertiser kindly copied our Prospectus
at the commencement ofour Volume, and
has since then extended US every courtesy
in his power. We reluru him our thanks
for it, anu gladly embraced The opportu-
nifty of.repaying his favors in publishing
Of his advertisement to continue business
at the regularly established rates. III
If the editor Of the Journal had made
respectful request of US to publish his
half fee advertisement we would have
complied with it most cheerfully. If we
publish it no,o il aciH be charged as an
advertisement.

The Food taken into the stomach is convert
