Nay, start not, reader. We are not about
to chronicle the death Of any Of your friends;
at least we hope that every one whose eye
falls upon this paragraph, has no occasion
to dread such On announcement. We SIM
ply announce the death of an aged hero.
Died yesterday, JEpTHER LEE soldier o
the Revolution, aged about 81 years"
What story is told in this brief sentence!
An old man veteran Of the Revolution,
covered with scars and full Of honors,-
whose life had been chequered by strange
vic;ssitudes of fortune,-has ceased to fire
quont the walks of living men. His lamp
has gone out, as sinks the flame when the
oil is consumed, and the golden bowl is
broken" and the silver cord is loosed"
We'll, the old man is dead. His pilgrim
age Oh earth extended beyond the period Of
time allotted 10y the psalmist. Three score
years and ten passed away, but the old SOL
der still survived.
Perhaps, again and again has he returned
to the charge, amid a storm of leaden bullets,
at Germantown. Monmouth, Brandywine
and Saratoga ! Perhaps in many a we'll
fought field, he has been desperately wound
el, and
With has back to the held and his feet to the foe"
his spirit still unconquered. breathed an as
p;ration to the God of battles in behalf Of
freedom and his native land.
Aud then. "change came over the
spirit of his. dream" The trumpets rang
out the shrill clarion notes Of victory, and
his brave comrades bore him tenderly from
his CORY bed, and nursed him with the anx
ious solicitude Of a mother bending over the
couch where the spirit of her irst-born
struggles for the first time with the grim
monster.
This paragraph may be nothing to you,
bet to US it is filed with visions of the past,
with magic remembrances, - that come
floating onward through the dim mists that
enshroud the memory Of that immortal band
Of patriots.
TO those who mourn the old mans death
in that little village away there, we send
one wish may they bear heart as true
and hand as firm, and conscience as fret
from guile, as his Of whom we say, "dieG

Lord LUcAN arrived in London on the
LIST inst, from the Crimea. The following
particulars respecting the recall Of the noble
lord may be relied on:
On the 18th February, Lord Lucan received
through Lord Raglan, a letter from the Duke
of Newcastle, to say that her Majesty desired
that he would resign the command of the cav
airy, and return to England. Lord Lucan had
had dispute with Lord Raglan abont the
charge at Balaklava. Lord Raglan had said
in his despatch that "the charge had taken
place in consequence of the misconstruction of
his order by the officer commanding the cava!-
ry," or words to that effect. Lord Lucan when
the despatch came ont here in the newspapers,
wrote to n,isconstrue the orde.,, and that he
could not act otherwise than he did {; and beg
cling that his letter, in his own defense might
have the same publicity as the original despatch.
They wanted Lord Lucan 20 withdraw the let
ter--he would not so Lord Raglan forward
ed it to the Duke of Newcastle. What COM
ment he made on it we do not know. The
Duke Of Newcastle wrote to Lord Hardinge
to have his opinion, as being more versed in
military matters; but saying that his own
opinion was that it would not do to have the
genel al commanding the cavalry division disa-
greeing so seriously with his immediate com
mander-in.chief, and that he thought it would
be necessary to recall Lord Lucan. Lord HaI.
dinge took the same view Of the case, and Lord
Lucan is recalled"

ELoQuESr.-Prof. j. RUSSELL Lowell,
at the close Of recent lecture on M1LToN,
said:-
"The noise of those old warfares is hushed;
thu song of Cavalier and the fierce psalm OF
Puritan are silent now; the hands of his epis-
copal adversaries no longer hold pen or GRO
zier; they and their works are dust; but he
who loved truth more than life, who was faith
full to the other world while he did his work in
this; his seat is in the great cathedral whose
far echoing aisles are the Ages, whispering
with the blessed feet of the saints, martyrs and
confessors of every cline and every creed;
whose bells sound only centurial hours; about
whose spire, crowned with the constellation Of
the cross, no meaner birds than missioned an
gels hover:-whose organ music is the various
stops Of endless changes breathed through by
endless good; whose choristers are the elect
spirits Of all time, that sing serene and shining
as morning stars, the ever renewed mystery Of
Creative Power"

b%The New York Sun says that
among the sufferers by the failures in Cali
fornia, are multitudes of the poorer classes,
whose drafts for small amounts-from S.
to $lO0-are refused. These little sums OF
money have been long expected, and anx
iously waited for; and now the drafts, fol
which the hard working miners have paid
down the gold dust, remain on the hands Of
their families or relatives, dishonored. 1t
would seem that some arrangements might
be made for meeting these small demands
as matter of common humanity

Terrific Fire in the PinerIes Of Carolina

Terrific Fire in the Pinerles Of Carolina.
The passengers on the Wilmington and
Manchester railroad, in the northern part
Of South Carolina, enjoyed, on Friday night
last, the exciting and magnificent spectacle
Of fire in the woods, extending over dis
lance Of ten miles, and showing FIRST on one
side, then on the other, and frequently on
both sides Of the road. A passenger writes:
Occasionally the scene rose to the dignity Of
sublimity. Many tall yellow pine was on
fire to its very top, waving in the strong wind
like vast plume Of fame. Now TIE flames
would crawl up and lick the wheels of the To-
connective. rendering the air near the windows
too hot to be endured, and filling the cars with
suffocating smoke, and then, as we passed rap
idly on, long waving lines of fire would be
sweeping on to attack some new and ,unburnt
fed. Now and then we would pass large
field which had been cultivated, but upon which
great numbers Of old stumps were standing
these, although not blazing freely,were still all
on fire, the glowing Goals Standing out in dark.
ness like millions Of colored lamps. Great
showers of sparks would sail over and dance
about like cloud of fire flies. Sometimes
single light wood knot would ignite perhaps
SO or 60 feet from the ground-a gigantic
torch in the dark green of the evergreen pine
Long reaches of fel G were on fire, and once
or twice we saw the bright ember remain after
the fences were consumed-an endless serpent
of living Goals. This fire had commenced burr-
ing about ten hours previous, but so dry was
the material that it had extended for miles
when we passed, and the alarm in the vicinity
was general and extreme. Farmers were out
with their hands to protec: their buildings and
produce, and large numbers of men were watch.

some considerable portions of it must be burned.
An immense amount of damage must have re-

in the neighborhood The seine was one of
most thrilling and sublime have ever witness
sed, and will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it.
