A Asaoft time since. IN company With my family,
happened In Hamburg and was 50 fortunate ss to put
up with Dr. CUNNINGHAM Co., proprietors of tho
Awsriean HOTEL" who, found, were giving entire
satisfaction to crowd of strangers and citizens Of
the Town. Tho convenience of the Augusta market
enables the Doctor and his co.proprstor, Capt L,xp
sEr' to furnish their table we ss any Hotel in tho
land. Through the most as,iduous efforts of these
gentlemen the american" is, undsrstand, bscom.
ing universal favorite throughout Edgefsld and
the adjoining Districts. So much 80 that the pro.
pretors have been forced to the necessity of building
largo L-containing several convenient and pleas
ant rooms-to their already and spacious House
Tho culinary department. tho we'll furnished and airy
rooms, and the constant attention or the landlord
bsr-keeper and servants are unsurpassed by many
Houses of greater pretensans.
Great success to you, gentlemen. You deserve en-
courassment- May you long live to gather up the
good things Of life for the comfort and qualification
Of your numerous friends and guests as they may
ever and anon call on you at the American"
The Doctor and his estinable lady, q also Mrs.
LINDSEY, will accept of the thanks Of my wi daugh-
ter and myself for the hospital entertainment they
afforded US whilst at the good old "Amsricsn."

ADDRESSES Oh TIE DEATH or Il. B sPAHH.;
REMARKS BY ". c. MoRAGNE, ESQ.


MR. CHAIRMAN: It has pleased an sll-wise Pfovi-
doncc to remove from among us another member of
our profession. HENRI RUSSELL srASS, is NO
more Intelligence has reached US Of his sad death
at Richmond, Texas whittier he had gone on busi-
ness Of professional character. Among strangers,
ia, away from family and friends, he received sud-
den summon to appear before bis God, with few, it is
to bo feared, Of the consultations of dying bed.
His denth has created vacuum at our Bar, which
will be folt by all. The racy humour with which he
enlivsned the Forum, and charmed lsge circle of
admiring friends can no longer kindle the amile Of
delight and the sloquonce which he often exerted
for trusting client, and which frequently bore away
the hearts Of pleased audience, is forever hushed
in tho silence of the grave.
The deceased was born in Edge6old District, Oct
End A.. D. 1878. At the usual season Of youth he
was sent to the village Of cokcsbury, in Abbevills
District where he received his chief acadomieal in
struction; and after course of two years in the
University of Georgia, he camO to Edgefeld Village
aud entered as student at law In tho Office Of
Chancellor WARpLAw, With whom, subsequently, he
was associated In the practice Of his profession. He
was man, as we MI know, Of excellent natural CO.
pacity, having mind of vigorous turn Of thought
and we'll fitted to the profession of his choice. With
greater application, and in the absence Of one fatal
habit, he might have risen to the first rank in the
practice of tho law. Having legal acumon, quick
ness of perception and readiness Of speech he pos
scssed qualities which would have enabled him to
become at once an advocate and Jursconsult And
how many admiring friends has he not left behind
him to regret that he did not exert the no powers
with which he was endued by nature as to fulfil their
just expectations land to assume in life tho position
to which his talents might 80 easily have sle7atpd
him !=lut Ws arl here t9 commemorate his virtues,
NOT to criticize his faults Over these let tho veil of
forgeuneas bo cast by the soft hand of charity, and
lot our thoughts with pleasure, turn to the bright
traits Of his ehaF4eersta the saaal glow of ieoling
to tho generous impulse, to the sparkling intellect
to the manly eloquence, that so adorned his nature
In comminglins our regrets, With those Of his many
warm friends, tho loss of these cherished and
inspiring virtues, let us throw the winding sheet Of
memory gently around our departed friend, in the
hope that his spirit has been waited to that future
sate of rest and happiness in which the noble intel
ligspees Of tia. oKalted apheFs, derive the deepest
pain in netips the sgs ald the highest bliss, in dis
covering and pointing out the virtues and good Offices
Of departed worth.

the ranks Of that great constitutional party Of which
she forms the central phalanx; by carrying it on
to victory and by thus securing the overthrow of the
enemies of law, Of order, >of right 1t needs no
prophet to predict that If she become distracted at
homo upon an impractical question like this Of the
Slave Trade she will at give strength to her ene-
mics at the North and dissstrously woakon the Demo-
cratic party of the Union. If there bo no concor-
dance of views upon the subject among southerners,
it cannst be expected but thut the Democratic party
would be torn arunder by its serious agitation.
Looking upon the overthrow of this party at present
as the drost misfortune that could boal the Republic,
we warn gentlemen to beware how they press this
wild issue upon tho country. There arc many more
for thinking that the scheme is founded in or
rOr than that it is necessary to Southern prosperity
But even though it were both necessary and right it
i. impractieabls now,-impracticabl perhaps while
tho Union lasts. And If Southern Confederacy
wero brought about, it would probably be tho frst
great rock on which we would split The evidences
of this are already fully shadowed forth in the pro-
ceedngs of the late Convention. Let the South then
be warned to avoid this question 1t is 6rebrand
of lssepsion. It is an apple Of discorl; and our
people would do we'll to ntOuch not taste not handle

Ifunder the permission of Providence, the Poarl
River importation is to grow in strength and farori
if the fruits of that importation shall be sanctioned
to tho good Of the South; il will be more than We
expect but boon not the loss thankfully received on
that account Asa political measure, we arc opposed
to it's agitation judging it to be fraught with fur more
| os evil than of voo5 IN our section and country.
