Death of McDuMe.

Another spirit has falen-a spirit whose mark
is left upon the age-a star whose light once so
radiant, then dinmed, and now struck out-and
Carolina again mourns one of her great departed.
The public life Of McDufi. was one of dazzling
brilIiancy-and his post was never deserted, until
the hand Of disease weighed too heavily for phys.
cal endurance Never will those forget, who saw
and heard his last speech in the Senate Chamber
DAYS had passed in which he had been unable to
leave bis bed but the Tariff question (of which
he was the INC rtal enemy was up, and that day it
was the especial order. Soon after the morning
business was over, to the astonishment Of the
Senate aud Galleries, which were crowded, Nc
Duffie was in his seat The question OF tue day
was calIed-ail eyes were turned upon McDufie.
With evident effort, he arose, leaning by one hand
on his cane, and the other OH his desk. Disease
had reduced him almost to a skeleton, and weak.
ness forbid his standing erect and firm as once.
But you had but only to catch that eye, which even
then g!owed with brillancy uncommon-to see
that the spirit was yet undimmed. His words
were slow and feeble at 6rst but as he progresse l.
they warmed and quickened. A gesture with his
right hand, and his cane fell, but he stood without
it; soon, his other hand was removed from his
desk, his form Strengthened. The thunders of his
mighty eIoquence, rang through the echong
Chamhcrs-his eye gathered an almost spiritual
h-i -i.l.:ess-his graceful gesture-his tone now
musical, then thr.lIlngy deep. Vesuvius walked
once more with its slumbering fires-McDufie
was himself again, and the Infamous Tariff bill
was Pompeii. Such was his last effort If we
carry not out the glorious doctrines Of States
Rights which he taught, it is well that lie cannot
look upon our disgrace; but this We do not fear !;
for Calhoun and McDuflic have not lived in vain.

Mr.. Richards Lectures,

Mr.. Richards completed his very Instructive
and entertaining Course of Lectures OH the At
nlosphere last night; and we pay him no unmer-
tied compliment, when We say that he has given
general and complete satisfaction. Never before,
certainly has any series Entertainments attract
ed, night after night, the most prominent of our
citizens; and we, are proud TO record tile trI-
umphant success OF all experiment regarded by
many, as one ofineviable failure. We have had
and appreciated, rare scientific treat. Aud al
though the Circus, or monkey shows, might draw
larger crowds, they certainly could not draw an
audience like that which has graced the lecture
room of Mr. Richards. We hal! this Course
of Lectures, in Camden, as the beginning of new
era, in our public reereations, and We earnestly
hope that the awakened taste Of our people for
rational enjoyment, will not slumber again, for
lack of stimulus. We have no doubt al all that
it the accomplished and able Lecturer, will only
give us another trial, he will have houses, a.
noteworthy for numbers as they have been for
character.
Every town in our State should enjoy Course Of
hls lSSluISF .pu' VIZ FdI. W Hhl'oe"S"o>5 ,
as his arduous Literary labors in our Metropolis,
will speedily claim his whole attention. We wish
him, where ever he goes and in whatever lie en-
cages, the most ab,unding prosperity.
We have the pleasure Ct seeing in our Town
Mr. Badger, of The Nest" and True Southron.--
We commend his excellent paper, with its wide
circulation TO our advertising nerctants-and
hope that for many suns We may have his con'-
pany. s.
