The Death Scene of mr. Calhoun.

The Washington Republic closes an article on
the death Of Mr.. Calhoun, with this brief sketch
Of his last moments
During Saturday his mind was entirely COM
posed He had distinct perception of his near
end. He spoke connectedly OF his family, the
scenes of his triumphs, the arenas of doubtful
strifes, the cause of the South, and the Union Of
the States He was prepared for his fate, and
awaited the summons of his Creator with compo-
sure and confidence, As the night advanced his
pulse became weaker At six O'Clock in the morn
ing the cold and clammy damp Of death gathered
upon his brow. His mind, however, was yet clear,
his spirits composed and the fire of his eve un
quenched. His attendants beheld him passing
away without sign of pain, without change of
feature 10 denote mortal pang. His life ebbed
in its wasted tide till a quarter past o'clock on
the morning of the 3lsi of March, when there re-
mained earth OF this illusirous man nothing bot

Astounding True.

We are informed that there will shortly be brought
before the public new locomotive, in which the
requirements of either steam, fire, air water, will
be dispensed with; its power of traction, while ef-
tectlve, will be perfectly safe--by it one half, at
least, or the present working expenses will be
saved. Advocates OF universal peace look for
ward with hope; this agent will exert powerful
influence on alnations. Distant parts ofthe world,
where steamships, from the expense of fuel have
not been will soon be reached with facility This
motive power will advance all nations by larger
stride than ever steam has yet made. .--Mlaing

In referring TO the appoi ntment of George w.
Harris, ESQ.,, as reporte. OF the decisions of the
Supreme Court, the Lancaster Union mentions a
fact creditable in every way TO the head and
heart of Gov. Jnhns,on, that we cannot refrain
from repeating it, It is known at least to the le-
gal profession OF the State, that in addition to the
publication of the two volumes per year which the
law required OF him, The late reporter, Mr.. Barr,
had accumulated sufficency of matter TO ill The
whole OF one supplemental volume and large
part OF another, which he designed TO publish at
all early day He died before the second volume
ready for the press leaving his family in very
siraghtened circumstances. As soon as Gov
Johnston was made acquainted with these facts he
determined TO delay the appointment of Mr.. Bars
successor until Judge Jones (the gentleman Sc
lected by the family to superintend the compile
tion and publication Of the supplemental volumes9
could obtain from the Court sufficient number of
decisions to fill up the second supplemental vol
That having been done, Mr.. Harris was
appointed, and will at once enter upon his new
duties
The Executive deserves great credit for his hu-
name action in this matter. Not only Mr.. Barr
himself, but all his connections, were the active
political opponents of Gov. Johnston, and on the
score Of party had of course no claims upon his
kindness or forbearance. The DELAY in filing the
vacancy, for the purpose indicated. was therefore
an act of disinterested friendship for the widow
and her fatherless children, which must command
the admiration of every one who properly anpreci-
aies good action.
