TIE DEATH OF JAMES W GLADpINa The last
Canton papers brought the melancholy news Of
the death Of James W Gladding % that place. He
died in the prime of life, and whole community
mourns his loss. His heart was all kindness and
his acts were all generous and noble--there stood
no brighter specimen Of Gods noblest work, an
honest man. No man has ever laid a charge OF
evil at his door-no member Of the human family
has ever received an injury at his hands. Many
many tears have dropped on Gladdngs grave
and there is no heart so hard that knew the living
but will sorrowfully linger round the ashes of the
dead. good man has gone to God, but long
and afectionate memory has bossomed on bis loss
Were ali the world like Gliding was, then, surely
would 1t be world Of love; and hate and heart
huFnings find no dwelling here.

lie instanced Kentucky, when the adoption of
its constitution was the Question-at which time,
every Kentuckian, however roughly nature and
hard times may have used him, was good cOnsti-
tutional lawyer
He concluded BY saying that the history of our
nation was a lesson of encouragement to Southern
students, that nothing but the will, the unal-
terable purpose was needed to ensure success.
Judge Green then said that he had word or
two to say in addition to the remarks of Judge
Caruhers He said that the facts announced by
Judge Caruthers were incontrovertible, but the
differences were not, in every case, in his opinion
so clearly drawn. He believed that the masses Of
the Nsr'h were greatly superior to those of the
South in elementary education; while in compar-
ing the classical finish given to those in the higher
walks Of life, he could not say that the South was
inferior. He believed, however, that the reason
the North did not cope with US in our legislative
halls, was because she did not generally send her
sovereign intellects to that place; that such men
as Choate and Everett were otherwise engaged.
But the most towering minds Of the South always
were fould occupying some place in Congress-.
He concluded by saying that while we ought to
have just pride for the superior greatn IS of the
South, it ought not to carry us to the degree Of
contempt for the North and that we ought to
nourish a mutual spirit of fraternal dependence
Now while these remarks of Judges Green and
Caruthers do not bear directly on the subject of
slavery, they tend to show their Partially to the
South and Southern institutions. 1t will be per-
ceived that the only difference between their views
is that Judge Caruthers is an uncompromising
stickler for Southern dignity and superiority,
while Judge Green is moved by spirit of liberal
ity and genuine philanthropy.
1t Is to be hoped that this senseess and un-
founded charge against the faculty of this School
will soon cease to have currency, and that when
Judge Yancys fever wears off, he will grow
ashamed Of his insane Capers. H.

Read the communication Of our correspondent
"H," from Lebanon, Tenn. The writer is a
native Mississippian Of the very first order of
talent. He is a member Of the Lei auon Law
School, and his daily association with Judge
Green enables him to pronounce distinctly the
!alsity Of the accusations against his loyalty to
the South and her institutions. 1t will be seen
that our correspondent is no great admirer of the
Hon VIM. L. Yancy. In this we differ from him,
and look upon that gentleman as one of the
greatest and purest of our politicians; but as we
have never doubted the devotion Of Judge Green
to his section, we cordially agree with II" as to
Yancey's error of construction Our correspond

remarks Of Judge Caruthers at Commencement,
which will be found very interesting and very
lucidIy set forth. We would be glad to hear fire.
quently from "H" We predict for him in the
practise of his profession, when he returns to his
home in Mississippi, full realization of that
bright future which our long time friendship makes
os so earnestly wish him.

noticing the sad accident to the Marsh troupe

A singular coincidence connected with
this calamity may be worth recording. The
father cut from a morning paper the account
of an actress being badly burnt, from the
same cause, and gave The piece to his d,ugh-
ter About twelve hours subsequent to the
reading Of this account, the young daughter
herself was developed in flames, by SINH

fingered twenty. four hours in unmitigated
distress before she too was called away from
all the bright associations Of youthful hore
