his will of 1921, had devised to him-reserving
only the right to qualify as the executor of Mrs.
Randolph under his will, which might be proved.
Judge Leigh's testimony, with the imposing sane
tons which his disinterested magnanimity threw
around it, was offered and heard. The paper
that was propounded was ultimately denied pro-
bate, and the will Of 1921 has since been estab-
lished. Judge Leigh's release has given to Mr..
Randolph's heirs, as in case of intestacy, the
large property which the preference of the tes-
tator had designed for him. 1t was important
in the remuneration made by Judge Leigh of
his testamentary rights, that his right to
the executorship should be retained. The
connexion thereby preserved between him, as
executor, and the slaves, as the bene6ciaries,
under the will, has enabled him, by his own
agency, to which the testator looked, and on which
he relied, to fulfil to the utmost every purpose OF
the testator's bounty to them. Few persons
know with what fidelity and labor and trouble,
and with what sacrifices this executor has finally
effected their removal and settlement in the State
Of Ohio, aud the care which he has taken to Sc
cure to them the provisions for their comfort and
welfare, according to the will. 1t is pleasant to
contemplate, in the present generation, that there
even yet remain men who have retained the mag
nanimity undmnished which was left by our
ancestors as example for their posterity.
This distinguished and noble conduct of Judge
Leigh is deserving, in our view, Of the highest

w;thstanding the vast multitude present on the
occasion, everything passed off pleasantly and
without accident. At night, the. Railroad Com
pany gave fine display of fireworks, which was
witnessed by many thousands of the people,
among whom we observed a large number of
ladies'.
"Aud now with regard to the work whose COM
plction was SC magriticenty celebrated. Having
travelled over the entire road, and observing its
construction, and Its appurtenances and works,
we are free to say and we have had opportunities
Of speaking knowingly, that we know Of no rail-.
road of its length in the United States that sur
passes it for solidity of construction and perfect
completeness in everything connected with the
enterprise. 1t is unfuestionably the most COM
Portable road we ever passed over. 1t reflects the
highest credit on the energy Of the President of
the Company, and on the scientific and practi-
cal knowledge of its Chief Engineer, w. M.
Stockton, esq. The work has been carried
through with indomitable perseverance, and is
one of the most important to the two States
which it connects, ever constructed within the
limits of either. The manner in which the work
has been executed, shows that those who had
the control of the enterprise knew that twas to-
be an important and permanent national tho
roughfare We congratulate them on the CON-
plete and successful termination of their labors
We must also mention, as we have done before,
the kindness, courtesy, and attention to their du
ties of the agents and conductors of this road
In their respective stations, we have never seen
their supcrors."

The Fire on Tuesday.

About one o'clock on Tuesday last, fire occurred
in Log-town the upper part of Camden, by which the
residence of the Misses LANG was destroyed. 1t is
supposed that the fire originated by spark from the
kitchen chimney blown upon shed attached to the
house. the shingles Of which were very old and decay
ed. The wind blowing very strong from South
Westerly direction towards the house, there is no
doubt but that the fire occurred in this way.
The residence of Mrs. FRANCES LEE, and of 1>r Jo-
sEpu LEE, on the South and North being quite near,
were in imminent danger and but for Providential cir
cumstances and the extraordinary eNertions OF our
citizens would certainly have been destroyed also. To
look at Mrs. LEES house, from its close proximity to
the one burned and the appearance which it now pre-
sens, it looks miracle that it ever saved. No
thing short of direct and experimenting Providence
could possibly have kcptit from burning.
We are glad hear that the loss of the Misses LANG
is partially covered by insurance.

Appropriate.

We see by the Columbia papers that his EXcellency
Governor MEANS very appropriately and handsomely
refers to the deaths Of Mcssrs. CLAY and WEBSTER in
his special message to the Legislature on Tuesday
last 1t is just tribute to exalted talent and is
couched in these words
feel it my duty officially to announce to you
the deaths Of two Of our most ilustrious states
men, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, which
have occurred since your last meeting.
Thus, in the space of three short years, have
passed away from the stage of action, three of
the greatest names that have ever adorned the
history of our country. Calhoun, Clay, and
Webster, were names which were upon every
lip, for praise or blame, according to the pecu-
liar political tenets Of those who pronounced
them They were the shining stars of our Re-
public. One by one they have been extingush-
cd, as though they were not permitted to shine
but in conjunction. While we mourn the loss Of
our own Calhoun, we should not withhold our
homage to the intellectual power and worth of
his great compressor refuse to ming our
tears with Kentucky or Massachusetts,, DER the
tombs of their favorte sons. Differing, it is true,
upon the agitating subjects of the day, now that
the grave has closed over them, we should for
get whatever of fraity was incident to their NOR.

around the history of our common country.

The Charlotte Celebration.

The Carolinian gives description of this affair which
must have been very considerable For the informa-
ton of our readers we give in part as follows:
THE arrival Of the cars at Charlotte was wei
coined by discharge of cannon, and by a lar
ger concourse of people than we have ever seen.
The estimates of the number present vary from
$4,000 to 1900 persons. On the arrival of the
Columbia trains a procession was formed, in
which were several Lodges of Odd Fellows, and
some Divisions of the Sons of Temperance, with
rcralia, banners, dc. The procession then moved
in front of the large platform of the Railroad
Depot, where Mr. Osborne was introduced to the
asscmblage by the chief Marshall ofthe day, Cen
cral Young. Mr.. Osborne delivered a most clo-
qucnt address, suitable to the occasion, and was
responded to, in behalf of South Carolina, by Mr.
Palmer, President of the Charlotte Railroad in
an able and very affective manner. Col James,
Gads,len then addressed the assembly and was
followed by Judge Ellis, of North Carolina in a
very interesting speech, in the course of which ne
was highly complimentary to South Carolina for
the energy and enterprise of her people, in pro-
crossing the great work just completed.
"When Judge Ellis concluded his remarks the
procession was marched through the principal
Street of Charlotte, to a beautiful grove, where
barbecue had been prepared, sufficient We should
Judge, for 10000 people. We were informed
that some 10000 pounds of meat had been
cooked, and 80 barrels of flour baked into bread

to the Main street and were dismissed. Not

TIE Pork TRADE AT THE WEsT.-As we have
before stated, the recent decline in bacon has
caused decline in the price of hogs at the West
for the packing season now about commencing.
In Cincinnati prices have declined 25 cents,
though contracts have been made for $4,000
hogs at full prices. AT Madison, Indiana, about
1l5,OOO head have been contracted for, and S.
net is the highest price in that vicinity for several
weeks. The Louisville Courier says the packers
of that city have contracted for upwards of 49,,
900 hogs, and the present ruling price appears to
be S. 1t is fully calculated that upwards of
100000 hogs will be slaughtered at Louisville
this season.
