Died, at Greenville, s. e. on the morning oi
the 18th inst, after an illness of four or five
days, of Scarlet Fever. MIR. CHARLES w.
WARD, aged % years. The deceased was a
native OF RichIand county, Ohio, where his pa
rents and other relatives reside; but for the
last three years he had been resident of South
Carolina, and the past year, of Greenvie Vii
luge. Ills correct moral habits, nnwaVering
gcntlemunly department. and general sauvity
Of manners, won the respect and esteem OF all
who knew him. But lie has been suddenly cut
of, and the fond hopes entertained of his future
usefulness, forever blasted: We have reason
to believe, however, that their loss is his eter-
nal gain-that he has exchanged world Of
pan and sorrow for one of never.ending bliss
that he was prepared 10 moet his God in
peace. Young man, "Be ye also ready fof
in such an hour US ye think not, The Son oil
man cometh"'
1t may be some consolation to his aged pa
rents, and brothers and sisters to learn. that
during the short and painful illness oftheir de-
parted relative, he had every attention that kind
friends and skiful Physicians could bestow-
and for q few of his last hours. the solemn and
affectionate offices Of the only brother he had
in this section of country. His remains were
followed to their silent resting place Gin the
Episcopal Church-yard) by the GreenVlle
Rifemen, in full uniform, many members Of
the Lyceum Society, and d large number ol
the citizens Of the place. After reading the
Episcopal Church service for the dead, mos
eloquent, feeling aud appropriate discourse was
delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Pinckney.
At meetings ofthe Greenville Lyceum, and
the Greenville Rifle Company. preambles ant
resolutions were passed expressive of,heir re-
gret at the loss Of one of their most valuable
members.

cation and pleasure, the call which has
been made by other portions of the State
upon our distinguished fellow citizen. and

Gambler Bro,on.-This counterfeiter
passed through our village in the stage on
last Monday in charge Of two persons on
his sway to Charleston, 10 undergo his
trial. We understand that on Tuesday
morning at Cedar Springs in Abberille
through the culpable negligence of the in
dividuals who had him in Charge, and
who taking bim on without single iron
upon his limbs, he escaped and no effort
what ever was made TO recapture him.
The full amount Of The money was refun-
ded together with the reward offered by
the Charleston Broker, to the individuals
who had him in charge, and they saidi
would be no qualification 10 them 10 have
him hung. So justice aud the gallows
are robbed oftheir legitimate victim--Be-
tween this and Pendleton they permitled
him on two occasions to get out of the
stage alone and leave il fifty yards. When
the driver al Cedar Springs told the two
persons in the stage that Brown was ma
king of, one ofthem pui bis head out of the
window and said. "Go it Brown save
your neck,"-
There is but little use in hunting up such
scoundrels as Brown ifthey are thus per-
mitted to buy their escape.

The Charleston Mercury of The Sd inst,
says /; "Brown was found in The Jail at
Newport, as has been before stated, where
he had been placed for safe keeping. and,
after showing the proper authority and
paying the promised reward, be was pa-
ced in Mr.. Lloyd's custody, for the purpose
Of bringing him down to The place where
he had committed the offence. Some re.
sislance was made by Brown, in the first
instance, TO his removal, and il was neces-
sary to use force 10 place him in fetters and
get him inlo the stage. After travelling
day or two 10 this way, however, he be-
came more traclable, and the road being
rough, he complained much of suffering, in
consequence Of his hands being cou6ned.
His intrealies for release, and promises not
TO eudeavor 10 escape, finally induced MIR.

that The stage should be stopped, and on
the door being opened Brown took to his
heels, giving his keepers leg bail for his
appearance at the bext Court Of Sessions.
All attempts to relake him proved fruit
less, and it is 10 be hoped that he has re-
ceived such lesson as will prevent him
from making another attempt TO swindle

Tsras.-The N. o. Bulletin, states ii'at les-
ters have been received in that city from Vera
Cruz, which says that troops were concentrat-
ing at that point, and that the true destination
of the Mexican vessels of war lying at Sacrlh-
clos, was Galveston Island.
The same letters state, that bill had been
offered in the House Of Representatives oil
Texas, directing the Major General of Militia
of the Republic, in case information was not
received by the 1st of March next, of the llber-
alton of all the Texans in captivity in Mexico
to make public call for volunteers to repair
to his standard at a point designated west OF
the Guadalupe river, for the purpose OF an
offensive war against the Mexican settlements
and towns along the Rio Grande. The follow
ing are the specific objects laid down to be ac-
complished by the campaign, viz:
Frst-To procure sufficient number OF
Mexican prisoners ofthe highest ranks and co,-
sideration, to be held by our Government as
hostages for the good treatment and final re-
lease Of our citizens, prisoners IN Mexico.
Seeond-To transfer the horrors of war from
our soil to that Of the enemy, by destroying
their towns, breaking up their settlements, and
driving the inhabitants beyond the mountains.
Third-To support and pay our troops by
confiscation of property and forcing contribu-
tions.
Another bill proposing the annexation of
Texas to the United States had passed to its
second reading in the House OF Representa-
,ives, and been referred to the Committee on
Foreign relations. A correspondent OF The
Houston Telegraph, writing from the seat o'
Government, states that all the Representatives,
and all she Senator'S save one, composing the
Texan Congress, are in favor of annexation
News have been received that the Commits
sioners 10 Mexico had failed 10 their mission
and were returning home.
