brought out their candidates in every Congression-

uary.-tcoMMUNICATED.]
We are called to notice the decease of our friend,
THOS. l. JOHNSTON, esq, of Louisville, Ken
lucky, and late of Washington.
He died at Old Point Comfort, and his remains
deposited in the venerable burial place at
tached to the Episcopal church, at Hampton.
The deceased was cast in ordinary mould;
and in the employment of time he no loiterer,
all familiar with him knew. His studies and his
habits of thought indicated superior taste and firm
intellect and in his social walk there was a happy
blending of the amenities of the gentleman with
decision of character, that always won respect.
tious of being thought what he really was, and OF
finding himself appreciated by those who discrim-
mated the true from the false.
As a lawyer, he was profound possessing high
ly analytical mind, and capable of grasping the
most complex questions. Fond of books, his man
were retiring; though quick to resent to for
give, ever yielding to noble impulses Generous
and ardent by nature, his attachments were strong,
controlled by high moral sentiments. He ever
faithful, ever honorable, in all his transactions.
A large circle of friends here lament his death.
Although no maternal hand closed his eyes, it will
be consoling to know that all that human kindness
could do was done to soothe his last moments.

the following information in relation 10 the rice
crops Of that State;
q. For the last few days the weather has been most
delightful for the season. The rains Of last week
have been succeeded by dry harvesting weather.
The health Of the city, well as on the rice plan
tations is remarkably good. The diarrhea, or che
iarine, which existed for time upon the planta-
tons, has disappeared entirely.
"Tbe planters are now preparing TO harvest their
rice; two three commenced day before yester-
day. We are informed that the grain will gen
orally be ready during the remainder of the pres
ent month. At the south, on the Ogeecbee, Alta
msha, and Satilla rivers, planters commenced
harvesting few days ago. The health in those
sections Is good 1t is upon the Savannah river.
We trust IL will continue 40, and that bountiful
harvest will reward the abors of the industrious"

g We lost twenty five men in the harbor of Mon

three marines stole boat, with which they all es
capped except one, who, on alarm being given, re-
ceived shot in his leg, which has ruined him for
life. The others started for the mines, but before
they had gone half the way the marines parted
from the sailors. The latter came to farm house,
where the owner treated them Hospitality with sup
per and lodgings, when the inhuman wretches
turned to and robbed and murdered the whole fam
lily, men, women, and children! But the people at
the mines hearing of it, pursued and found them,
and tied them up and shot them on the spot'
