DEATH OF II. X. spANN, ESQ.

Our community ass greatly shocked On Friday laat,
at receiving the sad Intelligence Of the death Of the
sen.lsuisn whose name ID at the head Of this para
graph lie had gone to Texas on business connected
with hi, profession; and there, in distant village,
among strangers, he cane to hs end in mannor
equally sudden and Crievous.
Mr.. SrASX WAS C man Of decided talent ccnsidera-
bic legal skill, unusually sound judgment, and mani
fest good tnste in whatever he undertook. lie had
also many shining qualities Of the heart his huepi
tay his social kindsesi, his candor his liberality Of
sentiment, his public spirit, his sympathetic flow Of
feeling whether with Joy or With woe, were such as
will not ho forgotten hy this community. OF his
domestic virtues it is not for to speak it is well
known however to many und beet Of all to huso who
SD Ltely shared with him the social delights Of his
now dcsolate hsH1thstne that it was his nature to
tutter the homo affections tho dearest and most
ured runauts OF earthly bliss stll permitted to the
fallen race Of num- Ii with these high qualities he
bad also bis wcnknssrct let them slsep in his sruye
~ it ours to drop tear Of deep regret his
melancholy fate, and to recall only thcse fine endow
ments Of head and heart which made the deceased
remarkable man 80 fur AZ hi. bettor influences were
tested and developed.
Attention is directed 10 the tribute Of respect, pad
by tho members Of the shed bar to their deccuscd
brother. fueling remarks were pronounced ON the
occasion by the chairman Of the meeting Col. J. p
CARROLL, and by Messrs. NoRAoxs. MAGRAru, Ap-
Axs and .iBNgr. We trust it will be in our power to
give mex: week tho brief but highly appropriate sd-
drcssc. Of these gentlemen. The record would be
much priced by the many friouds Of Mr.. SrAHN
throughout the district, and especially by his immu
dilute family Let his gallant and intelligent little
boys have it for proud perusa in so,no coming day.
There is brief passage in tho life Of the dscoasOd
Of which We may be permitted to ray word or two

in South Carolina efficient in producing

strife, than HKNRr T. srASy No, apparently prou.i-
rent, he was yet active participant in thSt political
struggle. We have 10 say that he wap an ap-
proved ally and valued 1driser among the leading
men uf the State vt the time. Directly opposed to
him ss We then were in our political We've, thero were
yet MANY opportunities given us Of estilnsti ting his
qualities political manager; and Ye hesitate not
say that be possessed such elements Of success a.
would have told upon the history Of hs day had they
been brought to bear with continued exercitc. Ger
tain it ID, that, antagonist this arena, bis

ate in policy. Many readers, in Edge6ed and clsc-
where, recall sundry "reminiscences of tho year Of
Secession which will illustrate the truth of tho senti

But the curtain Of death has dropped across the
pathway Of FRIEND Yet ho had roachod the full
marilsn Of life And We Gun only now extend to
his hercavc,l household our unsYalns coincidence in
this, their deep afHction.
