MESSRS. MCQUEEN AND DUDLEY

The following extract is taken from the
Washington Correspondent Of The CoIum.
ba Caroiinian:
"Gen. NICQUEEy is one Of the trucst and
IrmeSt mcn from the whole South with
no views of personal promotion, he is
heart and soul for the South Gen. MCQurEN
IS not g"bblcr, ctcnally jumping up 20
discourse commonplace, but he is man Of
strong, vigorous intellect, OF eminent cGm.
mon sense, and when he does, bold. point
cd and effective speaker. | only wish the
whole South were represented 10y Just such
men rs MCQUEEN; then there would be no
bctrayals for high Office, no compromises
rs excuses for timidity-hut the South
would have her rights or independence"
The Winnsboro Register says of Col.
DUDLEY:
In the first Congressional District We
see that Col. DUDLEY, of the inyinciblc
Democracy is brought out by an earnest and
irresistible appeal.
Col. DUDLEY Is man of ability and too
much independence TO permit "timc-honorcd
policy" 10 deter him from pursuing libcr.
nj and confding course towards those North
crn men who are so gallaDtly breasting the
pillows Of fanaticlsm at the North.
We wish TO see men in Office who are
ready to extend the right hand of fellowship
to every friend or the South irrespective oi
birth place"

YELLOW FEVER.

The charleston board OF health continues TO
report from one TO eight deaths daily from
this disease. The Charleston lNercurv of
the 10Th inst. says:
1t will be seen by the report If the Board
Of Health, that there has been Il considerable
Increase in the deaths by Irl!ow Fever, aS
might have been anticipated from the un-
favorable CHARACTER of The weather for .ryc-
ral days past. We would suggest, ns II
matter of prudence at this time, that uu;.c.
climatcd persons should carefully avoid all
unnecessary exposure, either by night or da, ::
and would remark that too frequent cause
of disease is the attendance of such persons
upon funerals, especially when involving II
walk Of one or two miles under II broIng
sun. This should be avoided rs much ~
possible"

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT,

AT the late General Review in pickcns Dis
trict, a man was instantly killed by the pre-.
mature discharge of 4 cannon. The Kcowc
Couricr describes the accident MS follows:
"Thc Regiment having formed into line,
and the Brigadicr General and his staff hav
ing taken their position, they were saluted
by six fires of the cannon. The last fire.
the cannon prcmaturcly exploded, killing the
cannOnccr Mr.. Scaborn Keith. We will
give the particulars rs We heard them AS
Mr.. Keith stood in front Of the cannon, i'll
serling the cartridge, there not having been
sufficient precau,ion taken to swab often
enough, the cartridge exploded, discharged
the rammcr, which tore off his right hand
Justabove the wrist, shiverng Ike shoulder
and killing him instantly. Indeed, is it not
true that lin the midst oflifc we are in death"

OBITUARY,


DIED, At YcrSvillc, S. G., on the 10th
instant, JEANETTE A, wife OF !. ID. Wither-
spoon, Jr., and daughter of George and Ma
ry Reese, of Chambers County, Ala, aged
"a years 4 months and n days.
Seldom has death spread darker pail, or
fallen with more crushing weight on u
loving household. She was the only daugh-
ter, and tho last but one, lch Of eight chill
drcn of her bitterly bereavcd parents. Pre-
emincntly gifted with warm heart, and
gay, and joy ous, and happy spirit, and adofn-
cd With every accomplishment of mind ard
person, she was the light of their eyes, and
the joy and pride Of their fond af,cr,ions.-
Welded To n Young husband, who made her
his idol. and loved her with n devotion too
strong for earth, he had larished on her all
those appliances for domestic happiness
/ " hich her tasteful eye and her skillful hand
had adjusted in the most attractive forms OF
symmetry and beauty. A brigh, vista o!
earthly bliss opened before them, and beck.
! unrd them 10 its howery pathway. But
disease came with stculthy footstep and
withcrng touch 10 scatter the cnchantment
which earth had woven. She looked over in.
! Ia ctcrnitv and made the Bible and her closet,
and the house of God her chosen coupnn-
ioishp, and with prcscntiment that her
lite would be short, she addressed herself
ia earnest To the great work of preparation
for u brighter home ihau earth ever yields.
She sat ut the feet If Jesus and learned
she was prepared to meet the King of Ter.
rors, and gave all up, calmly, swectly, resign.
rdiy--icndcrlv rcbuking the loved ones
around her couch, " no would icng,hen her
stay from her Saviors arms. Her Bible
lay under the pillow thai sustained her dy-
ing head, and It's consultations ilunined the
dark valley.
Her remains were conveyed from York
willie 10 the patcrnal cemetery, near West
Point, Georgia, where they repose, rs she
requested, between the dust OF her infaut
babe and her li,ilc brother. who Was her
darling pet" where they all await the glad
resurrection morn.
How dark, and chill, and dcsolate have
sin aud death, with their blighting cursr,
rendered hi, barren earth. But blrssrd,
thrice blessed, is that holy Religion wIici,,
