Death of "a Printer who knew ssJu
MUS

The Pendleton g. Co. Messenger in
sketch of the "Old Stone Meeting House,"
in that town. after speaking of several celeb
rites buried in the graveyard, says:
beneath cluster of cedars ropose all that
is mortal of John Miller, printer. We lin
gered long by his grave, for his eventful life
afforded US food for meditation If we could
have seen and conversed with his descendants
who live in this vicinity, could have gain
ed fuller sketch of him. Mr.. Miller was
the Oldest typo in the State. For the publ
cation of Junius letters-the author of those
papers he well knew-he was expelled from
England. He came to South Carolina ;
probably worked for while in the Office of
the first paper published in this State at
Charleston, and thence removed to Pende-
ton, using the press which Gen. Greene had
in his campaign; he did jobwork until he
commenced the publication of the Pendleton
lKcssemgcr-the second paper established in
this State.
The world has speculated much as to the
authorship of Junius, bat Ohm Miller carried
the secret to his grave at the 'Cld Stone
/ Meeting House." aud has left no information
as to the name of the author.

W A monster Distillery, recently erec-
ted in Bellevernoon. on the Monongahela
river at cost of $500, 900, is now turning
out thirty barrels of whisky per day. just
think of it-one hundred and eighty barrels
of whisky per month, or almost ten thousand
barrels year, manufactured at one estab-
lishmcnt! If all the good to be derived from
this immense fountain could be placed in one
end of the balance, and all the crime and
misery in the other, what contrast it would
present!

We heard portion of Mr. Corwin's
speech, at the Court House, last evening.
lf any thing had been wanting to show that
he was one Of tho "fossil remains Of Cd
political times, his speech last evening would
have amply supplied the deficiency. In our
hearing he advocated United States Bank,
q high protective tariff aud opposed the an
nexation of Texas. Hearing this much, we
left, We presume, however, that he went
il" against the Mexican war, Whether he
proposed to welcome the soldiers in the
American army with "bloody hands TO
hospitable graves we do not know The
dilapidated old gentleman really seemed T.

crowd that would sanction these "obsolete
ldeas' Of by gone days In this he wGs
just as much mistaken as he was in suppo,
sing that he viii be elected United States
