Death Of Thornton Carpenter.

.
We were painfully surprised on Tuesday last, to
hear Of the dcathof our young worthy and esteemed
fellow citizen, Mr. CARPENTER, who fell victim to
the Yellow Fever in Charleston the day previous 1t
is needless that we should attempt now, to say what
he was; his character and worth are we'll known in
this community whore he was born and raised and
where mary surviving friends his early DEATH
We knew him well, and in our youthful days, and
also In later years. associated with him ntimates
ly on severalocaasons can we recala single act
of his lifc to which reasonable exception could be
taken. '',.-fi
We are fully prepared to endorse all which is EN-
braced in the following notice of lis death published
in the Charleston Courier of the 18th inst. = =
cit is with regret we are called upon to announce
the decease of Thornton Carpenter ESQ., late superin
tendont and chief operator in the Charleston station
of the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph line.
Mr. Carpenter was native of Camden, S. c., in
which place ho received his preparatory education
prior to his admission into the South Carolina College
at Columbia He had been noted ffomfi earliest
years for the possession of those qualities of head and
heart which inspire confidence and conciate esteem,
and the sad regrets Of many friends will be clcited
by the mournful announcement Of his untimely DEATH
Mr. Carpenter was especially distinguished for his
interest in and devotion to the various branches OF
chemical science, in which he had attained prof.
cheney seldom reached at his years. He had been for
some time Professor of Chemistryfin Western Col:
hge-we believe in Oakland Missssippia station
which he only resigned in consequence Of the severe
exactions made on his health and services. ,s : :.
Mr.? Carpenters position in our teegraphic service
gave US frequent opportunities of Knowing and judg
ing his merits and it afords US here a3melancholy
pleasure to testify that all respects we ever found
him capable, courteous, and faithful. IS e..
It may afford melancholy satisfaction to Mr. Car.
penters surviving friends at distance to learn that
he received all the attentions which kindness and res
gard could suggest. Although not a. resident of our
city for long period he was not strangerfor his
virtues and merits had conciated many friends who
esteemed and cherished him in life as they now mourn
his untimely departure. 81 - -, ~ sSS.

papcr-ir the Missouri Compromise is to be

The CnunlN lfnir.

In short time the annual fair of our Coun-
ty Agricu ltural Society will be held at this
place. II is needless for US to offer any re-
marks on the utility and design OF these dis
plays, as there are but few who oppose them,
and they are oG those who will not be convin-
ced. Our object at present is to urge our
country readers to turn out with their arti-
cles for exhibition,and each one strive TO rem.
der the ia II as good as tho unfuvoruble cir.
cumstances will permit. The past season
has been exceedingly dry and unlavorabe to
the growth of any kind of produce, conse-
quently we hear persons refusing to bring ar.
tcles for exhibition because they arc not OF
the best quality. Now reflect that anything
is good this year, and the very articles which
you look upon us inferior, and which would
be inferior any other year, are now us good as
the best.
The managers of the Society have spa ed
no aims to render the approaching exhibition
one Tor our county to boast ol--and now il
remains for the citizens Of the County, aud
elsewhere, to bring up their article. for ex-
hibilion.
