THREE MEN DRowNED.-Last night as the
steamer ELLA was about landing there were
four men in a canoe trying to cross the river,
and as the boat reared them they became
frightened and jumped in the river, and three

of those drowned.

Obituary.

Died in this city on Sunday morning the 18th
inst, at TX o'clock A. M Mrs. SA LIE A.
DOUGHTY, LII the 23rd year of her age, leav-
ing fond husband, young infant, and large
circle o relatives and friends to feel and la
ment hsr loss; but their loss is her gain. She
has exchanged world of sorrow for one OF Joy,
world of sin for one OF holiness, world Of
misery for one OF happiness. Her warfare is
over, her conflict has ended and the last enemy
has been vanquished. Death has lost its sting
and the grave 1t victory; and in triumph she
parted with earth exciaim ing: she was going
home t, heaven 10 meet her mother, and con-
voy of angels bow her to her fathers bosom,
where 40 pain, no sorrow, no tears, no parting
will ever be felt. The writer of this has never
any one possessed of a more amiable U.s.
position, m eek, mild, and childlike, and many
a heart has been grieved by this visitation, but
consoled by this thought, that being too pure
for earth, she has gone TO dwell with angels
she was affectienate wife, faithful friend
and an agreeable companion. The sick near her
needed no better nurse, her hands was always
ready to press the fevered brow and from her
heart came a soothing balm of sympathetic
words to comfort and to cheer. She lived and
died happy, and now that she is gone, let US
live in such a manner. that we shall die as she
died, and join the same host and sirg the same
praise around the thrown of God in heaven.

THE FAMILY JOURNAL
FOR 1860.

Ga the first Saturday in January will be COM
illustrated Literary Paper. One year ago the
JOURNAL was begun as an experiment to es:ab-
lish liter ry paper sou tn of Mason and Dix
on's line, which, while it should not contain
anything sectional in its columns, might be a
means of freeing the South from its depend.
ance on the North for its literary food. It has
been too long subject of just reproach to the
South, that her popular Ii erature is almost
wholly borrowed from Northern sources. This
preference arises not from any lack of intrinsic
merit in the writers of the South, but from an
unfounded assumption that no good book, mag
aZine or paper can be expected unless coming
from Northern publishing house,
To remove this unfOunded stain upon the
literary talent and enterprise of the South, was
the great object fol which the FAMILY JOUR-
NAL was established. To aid in this high and
patriotic undertaking, we earnestly invite the
Cooperation of the South. We pledge our.
selves to devote our entire time and energies to
ensure the success of SO good a cause. Nor
shall we rest satisfied with producing paper
whose sole claim upon Southern readers shall
consist in Its being publish ed in their midst
Unless the Journal can in every respect compare
seith similar papers published else,chsre, we do
not expect the support which we now solicit.
1t may not be Inappropriate here to announce
that we have succeeded in securing the valu-
able services OF +. H. NORVELL, Esq, late
Professor in Marshall Female College, Miss
issippi, as Assoc late Editor. The exalted char.
acter OF MIR. Norvell, and his requirements as
scholar, otter our beat guarantee for the moral
tone and literary excellence of the Journal.
With the January number will commence a
thrilling original story of intense interest, en-
titled

heartfelt wish and prayer of many friends
who acquiesce in the hope that he may be
restored to health, and strength again.
