At special meeting of Pleasant Valley
Lodge, No. 80, on Tuesday the 5th Au-
gust, 1856, the following proceedings were
had, consequent upon the death of our Ia
mented Brother, WILEY MCELROY:
On motion OF Brother I'll. Bishop, Broth
ers Jett, johnson and Haynes were ap-
pointed committee to report suitable
resolutions expressive of the feelings of
this Lodge upon this sad bereavement.
Whereupon they submitted the following
report:
That it is with unfeigned feelings of
sorrow they approach the melancholy task
your Lodge hath assigned thema a
friend and brother, they have enjoyed the
society of Brother McElroy for a series
of years, and knowing him well, can ap-
preciate his worth, and weep for the loss
that society and his friends have sustained,
in that providence which has called him
away from the endearment of his family,
the enjoyments of life and the scenes of
his usefulness, to ''that bourne from whence
no traveller ever returns" But whilst we
weep, it is not with the bitter tears of those
who have no hope. Our blessed institu-
ton teaches De, that there is Grand
Lodge above, where a Supreme Grand
Master presides, vino says ''seek and We
shall find, knock and it shall be opened
unto you" and that he who comes clothed
with the proper badge, having the pass
word Of the Christian, shall meet with a
glorious welcome, which we trust greeted
the coming of CUR departed brother, "come
thou blessed of my Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the foun-
dation of the world" Therefore,
BE at aesoired, That in the death of our
esteemed brother, society has lost a valua-
bic member, our county a most worthy
and useful citizen, and our fraternity an
exemplary and beloved brother
Resoiced, That we deeply sympathize
with the bereaved widow and family of our
brother, and whilst shedding reciprocal
tears over his grave, we would point them
to that throne from which all consolation
must come.
Reso{Ued, That this Lodge, and all
brethren of our neighboring Lodges, wear
the usual Masonic mourning for thirty
days, in testimony of their regard for the
memory of cur deceased brother.
Resotred, That the proceedings Of this
meeting be published in the papers at
Washington, with the request that the
Columbus, Miss, papers copy, and that
the secretary transmit copy to the widow
at as early day as possible.
When, on motion, said preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted

lin all seriousness, did not the Antics
decline running candidates in many eoun-
ties where the majority was known to be
against them?
In Judge Kincheloe's district, the
Americans have 26O0 majority, yet they
did not run a candidate, as the Judge is
Whig and Fillmore man. The pre-
sumption is, however, that the Antics viii
claim this election as triumph.

The Atlanta Intelligencer, a rabid Bu-

ces of Democracy are divided, and that
their candidate is in an awful predicament.

''The positions assumed in the Cincin-

driven from the support of the Democrat
ic party NUMEROUS body of men who
had hitherto acted with it.
That is just what We have said all the
time, and if they continue to desert the

THE COTToN CRoP.-A correspondent
of the Neao Orleans. Delta, under date of
Fieksburg, August 2, says that in nearly
all the counties and parishes bordering on
the Mississippi, from the mouth of Red
river to the mouth of the Arkansas river,
and everywhere in that region. the cotton
crops are represented to be seriously injur-
ed by the long wet spell which has been
prevailing. The harm done by the
worms, though considerable in some in
stances, is said to be trifing to that caused
by the rains But, by the way of compar-
lson,. he says it would seem the same
weather that brings disaster to the crop in
one section proves benefit to it in anoth-
er; for the hill crops, both in Mississippi
and Louisiana, are said to be much better
than usual.

Van Buren Benton and Buchanan.

We have more than once adverted to
this omin0us con junction, says the Rich
rond Wing, and called for some explara-
ton of the remarkable fact that the Free
s,il Buffalo candidate of As, and the great
Frsesoiler of Missouri, should be active
supporters of what is called the Southern
candidate The fact itself justifes the
strongest suspicious of fraud to be perpe-
trlted in some quarter. Van Buren, or
South Carolina, one or the other, must in
ryltablY be cheated 1t is impossible that
the expectations of both can be realized.

Eith the North and against the South in
this question-a letter which is shown in

stipulation that nothing concerning it shall
