chiselled from east taken By Powers, eighteen
years ago.. 1t is an admirable likeness, us every
one here, who knew him when he first came to
the Senate, can attest. AS n work of art, it
will enhance the reputation of the artist, and it

EXTRAORDINARY LoScEvrrY.-A cores.
pondent Informs US, that Il negro woman died
recently at the residence of Maj. J. Swygert
in lexington District, at the advanced age
of one hundred years!
She was fond of relating incidents of the
revolution, and WAS familiar with the history
of various skirmshes, particularly those that
occurred at, or near Granby.
The extremely advanced age at which this
negro died, (and there are hundreds of simi.
lar cases in the Southern States demon
strates the truth of Mr.. Calhoun's opinion,
that there is no condition of human life more
favorable to longevity than that of the Soutl-
ern slaves. Hundreds of parallel cases
might be cited, without going beyond the
limits of our own State.-Palmetto State

OUR TnwN

II is gratifying TO see the energy and eXcrtion
that has been used since the freshct by the
Town authorities and the citizens generally, in
cleansing and removing the filth that was de-
posted by the overflow. The bitches have
been cleaned out; the water drained off before
s!agnating; the washed out places in the side
walks and the streets are nearly all filled mp.
1t is generally believed by those who pro-
f.ss to know, that the overflow will be Il benefit
to the health Of the place, rs it carried off more
nauseUus matter than was left by it. Every
precaution has been taken to preserye the
health Of the place, which so fur, has been
elfrctna as we have not heard OF IL single case
Of sickness in the place since the inundation Of
the town. We understand, that some families
| that went in the country, fearing that disea'
might arise from the dampness and disagreeablr
odor of the place, (Which existed for the first
| few days,) have returned for their hcalih, find
ing Hamburg much more healthy than the
country.
We would caution persons from crrditing
naly rumurs that are ailoat in the up-conniiy y
la;iyr TO the awful destruction OF the place
! We understand from private source, that re-
ports ure current in such sections that trade
here, that business houses have been swept oil
undermined and crushed in. How such report
got circulation, We cannot imagine unless 1t has
ben done for selfish motives by jealous ane
rival towns trying to divert the trade from this
market. which is known to be the best cotton
market in the United States.
Our merchants are still receiving their fal
supplies of the most choice stocks that have

market, in anticipation Of II heavy business tlli'
