DiEo, at the Cherokee Agency, west of Ar kansas, on the i3th of Janulry, ultimo, Col. JAs. McKIsicE, aged 65 years and II nionths-after pro- tracted and painfai illness.
 Col. McKlsick was . native of Lincoln county. North Carolina, from whence, when very young man, he removed with his father to Bedford county, Tennessee. For many years, and until 1885, he was clerk of that county, when Inc came farther west, with his family, and settled in Benton co ,, Arkansas. Since his removal to this State, now nearly 12 years since, he had in several capacities, been almost constantly In the public employment, up to the time of his death. He was cashier of the kayetteyiie Branch of the State Bank for several years and until the Bank was placed in liquidation. and then he was elected, by the Legislature 10 the ofcs of Financial Receiver for the final settlement of the business of the Bank. In lS45, upon the succession of Mir Polk .o the Presidency he sPPoin- ted Col. McKssiek to be Agent of the Chrrckee Inc dians, in place of the late Col. Butler, Of South Carolina This appointment vas conferred alike from the personal knowledge and high esteem. which the President had his old riend and neigh bor and from the high character he had established, both in Tennessse and Arkansas, for integrity and business qualifications. During the many years he was engaged In the business of the public. he was, as remarkable for the stern, and inAexbe fidelity 10 his official dutes as for thai kindness of disposition and suavity of maancrs which madelntereeursc with him at all times so satisfactory and agreeable" Af- ter long life of activity, virtue and usefulness, he has died st his post faithful, efficient and devoted to the last to all its duties He has left large and interesting family, and a wide circle of attached ,rjeods to mourn loss which they will never be ahe 10 supply on earth. Among his sarving ehil- dren. i. the wife of Hon. w. $. Oldham. of our Sa- urene court, as, ase Alex. MeKisick Esq, lae one of the popular clerks of our General Assembly.
 The illness of which Cot. Mckisiek died was as already remarked. protracied and painful and in h,s suaetings, ali who knew him deeply symPath'zed. For them n may rob the for their loss oi some of its pcignaney to reec, that. in the language ot one who was by his side.

Y N commencing the Twenty -seeond Volume of inc \ Review, We have to acknowledge the eontinua,ce of liberal patronage on the paTt of the public, and os an enthusiastic response from the Democratic ranks, 10 thoee principles of National Policy which it is our sndeavor tO elueidste. We have catered into extensive arrangements for great variety sf novel and interesting matter thst w add to the at traction and value Of the new volume.
 The new year will be marked by one of the most exciting presidential elections, under eireumstan- Cos of more grave importance to our institutions that have occurred tn our nailoual history. It is therefore of the highest eensequenee that the great questions which shake the anion to ts centre shou bediseussed with ealmness. laboriously investigated and clearly understood. While the Dernocratc par- ty s apparently split into several divisions through the very success which has caused it to triumph n the vindicstion cf old issues natil new ones have become necessary. the grea, d<moraie heart os the natlon beats in unison with noble patriotism and swelis in an honest satisfaction at the rising gors of oar western Empire, the foundations of which arc only now being iad, and well 1t becomes US to proceed dispassinRately ard undeTssandingy in the work eommiited 10 us. Although "thousand gene rations" are not looking down upon us from the erests of the Alleghanies 'sto behold ouf deeds ' thousands yet to come, swarming the intervening vaies. will throng tt,e Rocky Mountains, the Ale gaanes and the Cerditeras, all looking back 10 curse or bless the transactions Of lSIS. fearful respon sbihty rests upon the democracy of the present ge- neratlOn, ana that they will, as ever. discharge n faithiuil there be doubt. The efforts oi the Review will be exerted wth fall sense of the irn- portance of the cause and we doubt it w be wig. oronsly responded to by our subscribers.
 The accustomed features Of the Review will be continued, including Portraits and Biographies of Distinguished Democrats, men whose patriotic prin- ePes and steadiness of principle have won the con- 6dance of the people.
 We have 10 remind cur readers that the low terms on which furnish the Review makes it lndispen- sable that the paymen; of the subscriptions should be n advance; and that the expenditure incurred To improve the Work, can be met only by the pTomp, remittance of subscriptions.
 The pubic alton of the Revlew has been commit ted to the charge of Mir John W. Moore, who has been connected for the last eigh, years with the publishing department of the "Meichan's' Masa- zine" and whose experience and we'll known ener- gy will no doubt exert favorable influence on the business. &c of the Review.
