DIED..

In Dupn county, on the 18th inst. OF consump-
ton, Mr.. John Heath, in the 64th year of his age
Our departed brother, for the last Is years of his
life, had been consistent member of the Baptist
Church, and his life and manners greatly cores
ponded with his profession. When in his last ILL
ness. he seemed to manifest an usual degree of
Christian fortitude, fully believing that he who
had guarded him through the needless paths Of
youth, and conferred him in the gloomy hours of
old age, would finally carry hip through the try
ing hour of death. In this way he an1iously a.
waited the moment when his spirit should be freed
from its tenement of clay, and be carried home TO
the bright mansions OF unclouded glory, where,
high in the vaults of Heaven, he can sing the
praises of his Redeemer forever. His spirit is
emancipated from the heavy shackles of mortality,
and enabled, by grace divine, to dwell in the COM
pany of just men made perfect. Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord for they rest from their
abors and their works do follow them."-Com.

A WAENING.-Some days since, DR.. VAIN
wright, celebrated Physician OF New York,
Received from friend in Alabama number
OF rare plants, the product of that section Of
the Union, together with rattle snake some
Six feet long. On the evening of the day on
which the Doctor received the packages, he
carried the box containing the reptile to the
obar-room of the Broadway House, and knock
ed off the lid, for the purpose OF exhibiting the
animal TO some of his friends. The snake ap-
peared torpid during the time it lay coiled up
on the floor, and was teased with stick for
the purpose of making it rattle. DR.. Vain
wright was so inconsiderate as to attempt 10
replace it in the box with his naked hands,
when, without almost any premonitory warn
ing, it struck him on the finger. Despite the
best medical aid, he died that night in the most
extreme agony. What warning to the IN

On the 18th ultimo, Senior Anaya was cleo.

said to be a good omen for peace, inasmuch
as Anaya is said to be peace man. We have
read his inaugural address to the Mexican
Congress, but can find nothing in it which
would seem to indicate that he is for peace
measures.
Some skirmishing had taken place with
bands of guerrillas.
There was floating rumor that Gen. Scot
had arrested Gems. Pillow and Worth, and Col
Duncan, but we do not give any credence tc
the report.

Nz-We copy from the Columbia Telegraph
the following address of the President OF the
Greenvile & Columbia Rail Road to the
Stockholders. We think that the remarks of
Mr.. ONeall are peculiarly applicable to the
situation of our own Road. The Wilmington
& Manchester Road is in just precisely about
the same situation with that of the Greenvile
Road. We ask the people of Wilmington to
read this short article, and possibly it may
suggest something in regard to our own Road :;
. To the Stockholders Of the Greenvile and
Columbia Rail Road-The failure, as I an
ticipated, to obtain Legislative aid for this great
work, makes it necessary to enquire what is

ahead and do all trhtch can be DONE" BY so

Nothing ever induced the acceptance of the
Presidency of your Road, t0ithoW money and
qCithO1h price, but the hope that by so doing,
mighto contribute something to the good OF
nv country. Nothing induced me TO return
after the location of the road at Ne1cberry, but
the fact manifest to my mind, and that OF all
nv friends, that my retirement must greatly
retard and possibly prevent, the building OF
the Road. Under these circumstances, and
after receiving the assurance that the work
should go on, | have consented to remain, and
on the work WiH go. Sixteen miles east of the
oBroad River, will be put under contract as soon
a. the survey of location is completed. The
whole line Of the Road will be put under con.
tract to be graded as soon as the surveys Of
location be- completed, # the Stockholders
uU take the contracts. They are entitled
by the charter to work out half of their stock
on the Road.o 1t is hoped that even. small
stockholders will arrange themselves into com
panles so as 10 take sections, and thus have
the benefit intended by the charter. Thu
whole subscription, as it now stands, and a
valuable t6us, will not exceed six hundred
D thousand dollars This not one third of thu
enterprise. Still with that sum, if stockhold
ers will take the contracts, we can grade thu
entire Road, and complete thirty or forty miles
This done, we can mortgage the Road, AM

can it be that our fellow-citizens of Charles
ton, Columbia, Richland, Fairfield, Newberry
Abeville, Laurens, Anderson, Pickens, an,
last and not least, GreenUiile, will stand b,
and not help more, much more than they hav
done? Let every man come to the rescue, d
as have done, sacrifice previous predilection
