N. H, Willis,

MIR. N. P. WILLIS, long known among the
most pleasing writer's of this country, is dying OF
consumption. In the last number of the Home
Journal he takes formal leave of his readers and
his vocation in letter OF great beauty, and OF
pathetic interest. We quote below brief passage
of this letter, in which the dying man with a
philosophy truly admirable, seeks consolation and
elevation Of spirit even from that fatal power which
is absorbing his life:
But consumption, mourned over as 1t is, seems
TO me gentle untyng OF the knot Of life, instead
of the sudden and harsh tearing asunder of its
threads by other dsease-a tenderness in the
destroying angel, as it were, which greatly soens,
for some, his inevitable errand to all. 1t is decay
with little no pain, insensible almost in its pro-
gress, delayed, sometimes, year alter year, in its
more fatal approaches. And it is not alone IN its
indulgent proIonging and deerring, that consump-
ton is like blessing. The cords which it first
loosens are The coarser ones most combining to the
mind. The weight Of the material senses is
gradually taken from the soul with the tightening
of their food and the lessening Of their strength
Probably, till he owns himself an invalid, n man
has ever given the wings Of his spirit room enough
few, If any, have thought to adjust the minis
teilngs TO body and soul TO subdue the senses
to their secondary place and play. With illness
enough for this, ana not enough to distress or
weaken-wilh consumption in other words, as
most commonly experienced-the mind becomes
conscious OF a wonderfully new freedom and
predominance. Things around alter their value.
Estimates of persons and pursuits strangely change
Nature seems as newly beautiful if film had
fallen from the eyes. The purer affections, the
simple motives, the humber and more secluded
reances for sympathy, found to have been
the closest-linked with thoughts holder and freer
Who has not wondened at the cheerfulness of con.
sumptiVe persons 1t is BECAUSE with the senses
kept under by invalid treatment, there is no s'de-
preston of spirits" With careful regimen and
the system purified and disciplined, life, what
there is of it, is in the most celebrating balance of
its varied proportions. Death is not dreaded
where there is, thus, such conscious breaking
through of the wings OF another life, freer and
higher.

tS- We copy the following notice Of the change
in the running schedule OF the Charlotte & S. c..
Rail Road from the Carolina Times. We are
pleased that it has at last been efccled-i was an
arrangement much needed by through passengers.
We hope it will not interfere with way travel, or
reduce the profits of The Road:
"CHANGE IN RUNNING SCHEDULE.-We learn,
says the Wnnsboro' Register, Of the l1th, from
one in hig authority. that at the meeting of the
Boa I'd Of Directors OF the Charlotte and Columbia
Railroad, change in The running schedule was
effected.
The regular mail train will leave the junction
after The arrival of the Charleston and Western
mail which will be about quarter before four
o'clock and reach Winnsboro' between 5 and 6,
going on to Charlotte the same evening. The
down train will leave Charlotte every morning at
A O'Clock, A. NJ, and arrive in Columbia or at
the junction in time TO connect with the Whining
ton and Manchester cars There will also be d
good comfortable car attached 10 the freight train,
and running by very much the same passenger
schedule that now exists. This will accommo-
date way passengers. Persons wishing TO go i'm
mediately on down to Charleston, can take this
train aud connect with the night train the South
Carolina Rail Road. The age Is progressive. and
night travelling must be encountered and endured.
And if any one has too much fogyism in his CON-
position TO travel at night, he car be accommo.
dated by Fleming, Hunt, Janney or Duval until
morning
We learn that there is a correspondence now
pending between the President of the South Car.
olina Rail Road, and the head Of the Post Office
Department, which il is'hopefuIly anticipated will
accomplish a concurrence Of the mails from
Charleston and the West with that from the
North. IL so, then, all parties who are willing,
will be satisfied.
The new schedule will go into operation on
Monday next.

Defeat of Col. Benton.

Probably no man has ever fallen from OA
eminence with fewer 10 lament his humiiain.
than Col. Benton. Had he been defeated y,
years ago, when, after being turned out of IL
United States Senate, he appealed 10 the Deem.
and with such heroic determination confronted
foes, many admiring his daring no less than h
intellect would have regretted the result and ben
saddened by the ca catastrophe. Few things indev
are more mournlul than the fall OF human prea
ness. The names OF Hannibal and Napoleon douh
less awaken a deeper interest than il neither M
been eventually vanquIshed. When then Benu
after a career of thirty years OF distinguished ser
vice in the United States Senate, being dsgrau3
by virtual vote of censure from his constitutes
the members of the Missouri Legislature, appeaIa
10 the people in defence of his honor, who couL
altogether refuse to sympathIse with him Na
ourselves, we confess. And though there wa,
much in his history TO condemn, and lille in his
character to admire, yet joiced at his triumph,
But his victory two years since has turned out 10
be altogether barren. His career in the House q
Representatives has been worse than ingorious
Promising much, .ho has accomplished nothing
there. He has not even been able to do any mis-
chief. His efforts TO defeat the Nebraska BIN Nv
the Mexican Treaty-eforts prompted, perhaA
more by malice than selfshness, proved utletJ
impotent and abortive. His letter denouncngG

upon himself Save in the mplacabilily Of h
hate, he seems to be no longer himself. Nelha

TREES IN CITIEs.-The Nalwaukie Wisconsin
has the following in relation 10 the beneficial in.
fuence exerted upon health by trees in our public
streets:
1t is a well known fact that trees in the streets
Of city absorb through their foliage portion o!
no=ious vapor and gases which are evolved by The
rays Oft the sun. The comfort which we erioy
from their cooling shade, and tho pleasure we re-
ceve from their gay and enlivening appearance
are not their only benefits. The air is purer and
more healthful thereby and. the exhiIaration of
the system. induced by breathing more oxygen
and carbon, draws our thoughts towards the bright
side of nature and things IN general thus acting
preventive ogains' disease that easily preys
upon depressed spirits"

Editorial Change.

We learn from The Salisbury Banner, that F.
!. WILSON, Esq, its accomplished Editor has re-
tired, and at that J. c. CANNON, Esq, has taken
his place.
We regret parting with Mr.. Wilson. He is an
able, fearless, and vigorous writer, and did great
service in the cause of democracy. He carries
with him our best wishes for his success and pros
Perity in whatever calling he devotes his time and
foe talents.
We extend the right hand Of fellowship 10 Mr..
Cannon, with the full confidence that his educa ton
and sound principles, will make him valuable
accession to the Editorial corps of the State and
party. The sea upon which he has embarked is
not always famed by summer breezes. but still
it has its pleasures. We wish him prosperous
voyage, and a safe entrance into the port of
success.
