rived at Ripley, Miss, on railroad train,

tained the remains Of his brother. who had
died several days previous. On leaving the

and the seeming coffin was buried in the
woods, the stranger himself subsequently, dis
appearing. Some speculation having after
wards arisen as to the contents of the coffin,
excited 10y the unusual weight of the latter,
the latter was taken up, the lid raised, and
the party not little surprised and confoun-
ded upon discovering that instead ola corpse
they had inferred a coffin full OF rifles The
whereabouts of the stranger is said to be the
subject of much inquiry among the people OF

The STATE ELEoroRs-On Wednesday, the
Republican Presidential electors met at the
office of Secretary ofths Sta:s, cast their bal
lots for Lincoln and Hamlin and then proceed
ed to elect by ballot, messenger TO cast the
vote Of the State at Washington. On the
fourth ballot Weeks was elected He will
leave for Washington on the l1th. The I'm
ion says:
"The habit into which Presidential elec-
tors nave fallen of voting for themselves as
messenger to deliver the vote of the State at
Washington, is political abomination which
should be abolished. OF the four electors, it
appears that two ofthem voted each for him
self as messenger. In plain terms the mes
senger was elected by his own vote.
BY our statute electors receive the same
pay and mileage allowed to members Of the
Assembly.

The OLDEST VOTER IN THE UNITED STATES.
At recent election in Maine, Mr. Ralph Farm
ham, the sole survivor of TIE battle of Bunker
Hill, now one hundred and four years Of age,
walked six miles to cast his vote. He has voted
at every Presidential election since the adoption
Of the Constitution. In letter accepting an
invitation to visit Boston about the 9Th inst he
states that he vas eighteen years of age when
he enlisted in the American army, and adds:
at seems strange that out of all who We're at
Bunker Hill, alone should be living. 1t ap-
pears to me, though SO long ago, as if it was but
yesterday, can remember the particulars of the
march after | enlisted-how the people cheered,
and when near Andover, Col. Abbott came out
and said: well done, my lads and sent out
cider and grog in pals. We got to Cambridge
the day before the battle O, it was terrible
affair to me, for it was the first time | ever en-
gagged in fighting. l served with the army
through the three campaigns, and was present
on guard when Burgoyne surrendered. l don't

COMMUNICATED.

MI r. EDITOR: Permit me through your
1vA columns very briefly to state my connec-
ton with the meeting in Bryantown on the 18th
July last. I frankly admit that was in favor,
at the time, of a respectful expression of public
sentiment, in opposition to any increase in the
code of charges, as had been set forth by the
Medical and Chirurgical Society of Charles
County, which thought would have an effect
at their next meeting which was to take place
on the 9th of August following; and so stated
to Judge Gardiner before the meeting was or
ganized.
Before proceed I must tender my thanks to
the Judge for the labored effort he made to prove
that | reiterated, affirmed and endorsed his
speech made on that OCCASION Now positive
ly aver that did not reterate. affirm, nor en-
dorse his speech but, on the contrary, thought
it calculated to injure our cause, and create the
very state of things that now exists.
After the speech of Judge Gardiner-in order
to put myself right stated in spirit of con-.
Citation, that thought the subject Of discussion
before us was one of mutual interest to the
farmers and planters, and the physicians that
whilst I was opposed to any increase in their
code of charges, (which l thought in ordinary
Gases was too high" was also opposed to any
thing that was calculated in the slightest degree
to engender feelings of hostility between the
doctors and the farmers and planters.
Now, SO long as Judge Gardiner confined him
self to legitimate and respectful opposition to
the code of charges | was with him ; but when.
it was his pleasure to step outside of this and
make lengthy speech, wherein he used Ian
guage that was considered by the doctors present
insulting to them and their professionally that
I want is the Judge and the public to under
stand that it was his language and not mine; or,
in other words, he was talking for himself and
not for me; aud that the very futile attempt he
has made to place me in the same category with
himself is an effort more worthy a school boy,
than Senator.
With reference to the certificate of J. D. CAR
diner T recollect the conversation he alludes to
perfectly. stated to him that the commune
cation over the signature Of IL Witness to the
Proceedings, thought, had created the impress
