OLDEST MAN IN AMERIcA.-A correspondent in the
Cassvile, Ga, Standard, says there is now living IN
Murray county, Ca, on the waters OF Holly Creek,
Revolution veteran who has attained the age Of one
hundred and thirty.four. His name is John HaInes.
He is known throughout the region in which he lives
by the appellatve Gran'sir Hames. Gransr is con-
tracted for Grand Sire grand sire he truly is. As
was On way 10 VlslI tHlS TeliCL VI cAplltu
eighteenth century, euquired of an oldish gentle
man, Of about sixty, if he knew him. 40 yes, !
know him. said he, he is my grandfather! y
John Hames was born in Meckenburgh county,
Virginia, and was lad Of ten years old when Wash
ington was in his cradle He was thrtytwo when
Braddock met his disastrous defeat in the Mononga-
hea. He with several of his neghbors, set forth to
join the headstrong and lfatcd commander but after
several days march were turned back by the news
of his overthrow. He migrated to South Carolina
nearly hundred years ago He was in thirteen con-
siderable conflicts during the war of independence,
and in skirmshes and rencounters with Indians, with
tories and with British, times beyond memory. He
was with Gates at Camden, with Morgan at the Cow
pens, with Green at Hilsboro and Eutaw, and with
Marion in many bold rush into a tory camp or red
coat quarters.
Very learned Psychologists have asserted that every
event and every scene in mans life remains indel
IDLY engraved upon the register of the BRAIN and that
they may be again brought clearly before the mental
vision when the impressions of conempornneons cir
cumstances are shut out as in sleep Or trance. In
that case what wonderful panorama must some
times be spread before the mind of that old man.

A LUCKY Sur The ship Samuel Russell has
always been lucky. A long voyage is generally rc-
gardcd detrimental, and this ship never made one
until the last, when she seemed to know what was
going to happen among the Celestias to raise the
price of teas so she hung back for about hundred
days on her passage, thus oversaying the time stpu
lated for the sale OF her cargo, and giving the Eng
lish and John Cinnamon time to get at loggerheads
and when she did arrive, which was until she had
taken q hand at buttng tile ice'in tie Ghesa peake
her cargo had increased in value from $4,000 to

STATE FINANCEs.-We were somewhat startled ycs-
terday, in the Senate Chamber to hear the announces
ment of Mr.. McMurdo to Senators pending the dis
cusson of provision in the General Appropriation
bill. We understood Mr. Mem. (who is the Chairman
of the Finance Committee OF the Senate and shrewd
banker IN New Oreans to say, if you pass the various
appropriations asked for in the bill the State of Lou
lsiana will on the ls OF November next, be indebted
from two to three hundred thousand dollars, and not
dollar in the Treasury to meet this large demand
Mr.. McMurdo told in his business-like manner, the
majority that they were responsible for these things
and he personally washed his hands. The fact thus
announced by so distinguished nancier as the Sena
tor from New Orleans, should and will call the special
attention OF all Taxpayers in Louisiana. What are
we to DO! Shall we repudiate or place State
the pauper list? Is there no limit to :" loco mis-
rule! Arc the citizens Of Louisiana willing to sub
nit to the degraded position which the legislation of
the country is rapidly bringing upon them? We win
the Senator, in the power of the mOney.lender or
dishonered There many suggestions which pre-
sent themselves TO or mind in connection with this
unfortunate state OF affairs that we must postnone
for future OCCASION We now merely call attention
to the facts as announced by the Chairman of the
Committee OF Finance OF the Senate, whose reputa-
ton as inancler requires endorsement and whose
democracy is doubted by none. We ask all classes,
all taxpayers, all citizens is it not time to throw
aside party claptnp and look to our honor and pecu
mary position! We confess the acknowledgements
made by the distinguished Chairman of the Finance
Committee, though placing the dominant modern
loco party In the responsible position for present and
threatened evils, was anything else than gratifying to
US as taxpayers and citizens of Louisiana.

MES, when they won their Independence from the
| mother COUNTRY. With more than seven millions of
whites and four millions of African slaves to till her
SOIL even amid the eSigences of war can she not de-
end her territory from invasion, and protect her flag
from insult against all corners Is there danger OF
nsrecton? Did the slaves OF the South rise against
their masters in the Of the revolution, when her
soil was scourged with civil strife when master ar
rayed against master, and when British armies en-
camped upon her plains, offered them their flag and
urged them to rebellioni No. Wives and daughters
we're guarded by their brawny arms and unfalterng
loyalty while husbands and fathers, far away in their
tangled swanps and on the rocky mountain top, were
fighting the enemy. In the revolution British ennis
\ zion, and the emssaries of Yankee philanthropy will
fail as signay now for it is historical fact, that
more slaves have been stolen from us since the organi
cation of the Government, in one month, by our
| Northern brethren, than were seduaed away by the
| British during the whole revolutionary war.
/ After some further remarks it is asked Does
the South lack facilities for commercial intercourse
Look at tho following - s
Let us turn to the statistics of expectation and
4 which section furnishes them. The Secretary OF the
Treasury his late report sets down the expectation
OF domestic produce, exclusive OF specie, at $685.

syey from the South, furnishes SS2 35l tobacco

the forest at SO G94, Isl of manufactures at $780,

of the country in three staple products which, in thu
Union, only raised within her limits. But her con
Irritation does not stop here. OF the s7 CSC d5 fur
nshed by hreadstuhs and provisions she contributed
at least s25 600 00o of the products of the ores,
IT in the shape of lumber, etc. she contributed ahou

already shown was furnished by cotton, tobacco an
