SANDEEER, consort of Green Sandifer, in the
eth year Of her age. Though death came as q
thief in the night, her house was found in order.
She has passed into that rest which remaineth for
the people of God. For years back, it pleased
of darkness to overshadow her sight. To her the
blue sky and green earth was clothed in sack
cloth yet no murmuring words escaped her lips.
Grievous though this affection must have been,
she submitted herself, saying sit is the Lord, let
Him do as seemeth good unto Him." Many
hearts are made to feel desolate by this DISPENSE

is all light-her pain, ease-her sorrow, joy. Let
them turn in their day of troubles unto her God,

MONTGOMERY, June Is, 1858.
Dear Sir Your kind favor Of the 18th is re-
ceived.
I hardly agree with you, that a general move
ment can be made that will clean out the Augean
Stable. If the Democracy were overthrown, it
would result in giving place to q greater and hum
grier swarm Of flies.
The remedy of the South is not in such q pro-
cess. Tits in o diligent organization Of her true
men, for prompt resistance to the next agrees
sion. It must come, in the nature Of things. No
national party can save US no sectional party
can do it. But if we could do as our fathers did,
organize committees of safety all over the cotton
States, land it is only in them that we can hope
for any effective movement,) we shall fire the
Southern heart-instructthe Southern mind-giHe
courage to each other, and at the proper moment,
by one organized, concerted action, we can pre-
cipitate the cotton States into q revolution.
The idea has been Swallowed forth in the South
by Mr.. Ruffu-has been takenup and recommend
ed in the Advertiser, under the name of "League
of united Soutberners,"' who, keeping up their
old party relations on all other questions, will
hold the Southern issue paramount, and will in.

Death Of cold Hannibal h Elephant.
The following we copyfrom the Cleveland Plain

Death Of cold Hannibal the Elephant.
The following we copyfrom the Cleveland Plain
dealer:
This old and Justly distinguished elephant died
at Conield, on Monday. He was quite old-ex-
tremely so. We have heard his age stated vn-
riously a tfrom FIVE hundred to one thousand years.
At times, Hannibal was rather wild. Domestic
troubles may have been the cause Of this. we
believe his faults wore of the head, however, and
not of the heart. He never used tobacco IN any
form, and in oil his travels was never forced TO
spout his trunk for his hotel bills. what other
Snowman Of any note can say as much oui,
the fact can't be disguised, Hannibal cut up some
very hard capers during bis life. In Maine,
many years ago, he was one night shut up.in o
shed. In the morning he was found three or four
miles off, with the roof of the shed upon bis back!
when connected with Juno and Titus circus
and menagerie, be had q falling out with some Of
the performers, and one day while they were
making their grand entree in the ring, on their
high mettled and gorgeously caparisoned horses,
Hannibal burst his fastenings, rushed into the
ring, and endorsed every man of them. After
tossing them around for a while he. returned to
his accustomed place, and permitted his keeper
to tie him up again. Going from Boston to Ss-
lem, some years ago, he became enraged about
something or other, and made terrible work on
the road-tearing down fences, tipping over wag-
ons, and tossing men and horses into the air.
Travelling from one small town to another, one
Sunday afternoon, in New Hampshire, Hannibal
met o long line of carriages, filled with people,
going home from church. The man in the head
carriage struck the elephant a smart blow with
his whip as he passed. Hannibal Immediately
unloaded the entire line of carriages. No one
was seriously injured. One night, as his keeper
was driving him through a strip Of woods in Yer
mont, o violent thunder storm arose. A tree was
struck by lightning, and one of the shattered
branches struck the keeper and killed him instant
ly. All night long the elephant watched the dead
man, closely and t~enderly, even as a mother would
watch the corpse Of her child, and never, from
that moment, left him until he was buried. Han
nibal meant we'll. We don'thear what allied Han
nibal-probably it was old age. We understand
that he cost his owners, Van Amburg Co., $l4,-
900. Peace to his ashes!

"a The Edgefeld Advertiser s~ays:-"The
Dorm Gold Mine still continues to yield brilliant
profits to its fortunate owner. 1t is an old thing
now, and does not attract the attention it did at
the outset. Yet it is still q mine of great value,
ranking indeed but little below the foremost of its
rivals. Our information is, that it is now paying
from $500 to $500 per week, at total expense
of 5000 per week. We have recently seen a gu
perb specimen taken from its richest vein, and
which reminds us forcibly of what "they tell" Of
California and Australia.
The Dark Corner Gold Mine is also, We believe,
being worked with much success.
