Mr. EDITOR A S the announcement Of my name
with that of Gen. HAMMOND as candidate for Con-
gress must seem to my friends inconsistent with my
repeated preferences for that distinguished gentle
man, take occasion to say, That when consulted,
MS one Of his friends, approved then as l do now
Of his nomination. and wrote to some friends de-
clining IN offer to nominate myself. Afterwards,
however, upon being informed that the General
would not accept Il nomination. gave, at the soil
citation of friend, my own name as Candidate.
will add that if Gen. HAMMOND can be induced to
accept The office if elected, am ready and desrous,
regardless Of any mere assent on his part to non-

into the service Of our common country his very
distinguished and acknowledged talents.

DErARTED this life, at his residence in this Dis.
trict, on the 26th January last, JOEL ABSEY and
his wife JANE ABHEY
The two deceased had been married only about
two years, and gave hopes Of becoming patternsto to
the community not only Of eonjugal fidelity, but OF
every virtue. They were loving and kind, as man
and wife-they were sincere and devoted as friends
useful as citizcns-and devout and holy as Christ
ans, eternaly trusting in God, and by day and
night raising their prayers to Heaven for bis divine
providence and almighty protection.
In their business relations, they were exact and
economical, and bid fair to accumulate, not only
property but riches.
Joel .Abney and his wife died in twelve hours Of
each other-and one Of the most painful circum-
stances of their death, was that they left On infant
daughter Of only two weeks old. Their friends
though, have still some cause Of rejoicing, for they
both expired with the utmost calmness and resolu-
ton apparent in their features and evinced, as far
as morals could, perfect preparedness TO meet tho
final judgment. The pari i,ulars of the death ofthe
Lady, am not So familiar with but friend who
was constantly with Joel, informs me, that no not
only confronted death with composure but was abb
solutely happy in the closing Of the final scene.
A FRIEND.

VERY DESTRUCTIVE FREsHETs!
Loss 80 ,OOO,OOO!!

A dispatch from Albany, N. Y. dated Nov. g.
says:
A tremendous food occurred here last night
in consequence of the recent thaw, causing an
immense amount of damage to property. The
loss is estimated at $2,0o0,000.
The city during the night has been the scene
of the utmost confusion, owing to the combined
evils of fire and food, fire having broken out
whilst the food was at its height.
Laborers have been working all night in re-.
moving goods from the first floor to the second
floors of the stores in the lower part of the city,
where it was thought they would be safe. onI
at IL o'clock the water began rising rapidly,
md the workmen had to desist and run for
safety.
The water continued rising till four o'clock
this morning, when it reached point three feet
higher than ever before known, 1oohing the
whole lower portion of the city Us high up as
Green street. The lower parts OF Herklmer
and Hudson (paralleDstreets are submerged to
the first story and Broadway Is flooded from
the Exchange TO the Delaven Hosse. Inc
stores and cellars on the west side are filled
with water, and all the streets between Broadway
and the river are navigable by boats. "A large
number of cattle have been drowned.
At three o'clock the fire bells were sounded
in different parts of the city, adding to the ter
ror of the scene. Warren & Sons building on
Broadway, and Messrs. ellison & Dalton's plan
ING mills, and Barretts warehouse on the pier
all being in flames at the same time. owing TO
the stacking of large quantity Of lime Ow-
ing to the height of the water, it was impossi-
bic to get the engines to the fire, and therefore
the firemen proceeded in boats with buckets,
and succeeded 10 con6ning the flames to the
buildings in which the fire originated. The
glare OF the coaAagration upon the rushing wa
iers of the river and the devastating flood in
tho city rendered the scene one not soon to be
forgotten.

THE REMAINS OF COL. BROOKS.

The remains Of the Hon. Preston ). BROOKS
reached this city yesterday afternoon. at half
past two o'clock, in charge of the Sub-Com-
mittee of Edgefeld District, who had been depu.
ted 10 proceed to Washington, and conduct the
remains to Edgefeld Court House. At the
Georgia depot, they were met by Committee
of The City Council, and citizens of Augusta,
and conveyed to the Council Chamber, in the
CITY Hall, which was appropriately draped in
mourning for the OCCASION. The box enclosing
the metallic case in which the body was conffin-
ed, was here removed, and the remains placed
in The centre of the Chamber.
During the hour they lay in state, the Cham.
ber was visited by hundreds of our citizens,
anxious to testify, even by this unsatisfactory
demonstration, their respect for the memory OF
the lamented dead. At half-past four o'clock
the remains were removed, and placed in 4
hearse drawn by four horses, which had been
obtained from Charleston to convey them from
this city to Edge6eld Court House. The pro-
cession was then formed under the direction Of
Col. J. B. Campbell, Of the Augusta volunteer
Battalion, and preceded by n band Of music,
playing an appropriate dirge, escorted the re-
mains through the principal streets OF the city
to Hamburg. In this long funeral cortege were
the CIinrll Rifles, Oglethorpe Infantry, Irish
Volunteers, Washington Artillery, Richmond
Hussars, the Fire Company Of the town Of
Hamburg, the Fire Companies of this city and
the Hook and Ladder Company, acting rs the
escort, whilst following the hearse, were the
members Of the Committee uf Augusta and
Edgeheld District, in carriages, the Professors
and Students of the Medical College, and II
large number of citizens. The streets through
which The procession moved were filled with
people, crowding to witness the impressive and
imposing display.
The remains were placed last night Mt the
American Hotel, in Hamburg, under The charge
of the Council and Committee of the citizens
of that town, and to-day will be con. eyed to
Edgelield Court House, there to be deposited
in the burial ground Of the Brooks family.-Au-

sprung up We have felt the furce of their opinion
and now act accordingly.
With the most heart felt thanks to our friends in
