Death of Professor Mitchell.

We announce with profound regret the death of
Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D. D., Professor of Chemistry,
Mineralogy, and Geology in the University of North
Carolina. He had been engaged several weeks in
Buncom5e and Yancey, in exploring and taking the
heights Of the mountains; his attention being spe-
cially directed to the Black Mountain, in Yancey
County.
The Asheville papers and letters from friends have
conveyed the melancholy intelligence A friend
writing from Marion Mcdowell, under date 10th Ju-
iy, says
81 regret to inform you of the death of Prof
Mitchell, of Chapel Hill. On last Saturday was
week ago, he and his son were on the Black Noun
tain. They separated there his proceeding towards
Buncombe, and the Professor starting through
the mountains to huntsville, in Yancy, with the
Outstanding that they would meet on the Black
Mountain at the same place, on the Tuesday follow.
ing The son went to the place, but the Professor
failed to come He then went round by Ashville to
huntsville, to what had become of his father, but
could learn nothing Of him. The alarm then
raised, and two three hundred men turned out to
look for him. His body was found in Cany river, in
Yancey county, and, from appearances it is thought
he slipped and fell off precpice some forty or fifty
feet in height, into some ten twelve feet water
So ends the mortal career of the learned Professor
We learn that Thursday last was appointed for
his burial, and that peak on the Black Mountain
had been selected as his last resting place. No
more suitable spot could have been chosen. He
will sleep amid the magnificent mountains, whose
scenery absorbed his soul and fired his ambition;
and his fame will thus be more ndissoubly associa
ted with them than ifhe had given his name, by dis
covery of altitude, to the highest and grandest of
them all. .
The death Of Prof Mitchell has occasioned gen.
eral sorrow in the West, and profound grief among
those who had been his pupils at the University He
had been connected with the University for more
than a quarter of century and the loss is a
heavy to the institution, to his Church, to soc
ETY.; and to the whole State.

On Tuesday the candidates held forth.-After the
county candidates were through, of whom there are
a goodly number, Mr.. Clingman and Mr.: Wilson
addressed the people.-Mr. Wilson occupied an hour
but of his effort had rather not speak; for like

Wilson of Importance enough to demand formal
discussion. We shall have thing or two to say on
.he subject next week AshepiWe Neos.
