DEATH OF SINGLETON SPRreG, ESQ.,
We heard a rumor, a week ago, of the
death of SINGLETON SPRIeG, ESQ.,,
known hereabouts for nearly twenty
years, as an attorney-st-la4 yet as it
was on no reliable authority we did not
publish it. But it was even SO. He
died suddenly at Ashland, KY, four
miles above Ironton, where he had
been staying. for the most part. the
past two years. Our information is,
that his death took place on Tuesday,
Oct 22nd: that be was taking his
breakfast with company of volunteers,
and rising up, fell dead instantly.
Mr.. Sptigg was about As years old,
was born OF highly respectable parents
near Fredrick, Maryland. in 1916, we
think, as he informed us at one time.
His family was one of wealth. high
social position and Of great influence,
One of the connection was Governor oI
Maryland, and two were q. s. Senators
another was Representative IL
Congress from the Shelbyville District
Kentucky, about twenty years ago.
Singleton Sprigg was wild" boy

g The noble philantrophy and
devotion to the cause Of human rights
which induced the Count Rochamb beau
and the Marquis Lafayette to tender
their services to our fathers in the
American Revolution still survive in
their descendants. Count de Sayre, a
lineal decendent Of the former, and the
Baron de Shonew, Of the latter, have
offered their services to the Federal
Government, and they have been &C.
cepted. The true patriots of the world
regard our struggle with the secession
rebellion in its proper light, and, in the
olden spirit OF '76. and are ready to
peril life and fortune to PROSTATE des-
potism and toryism.

SENsIBLE.-The Weekly Times, a
London journal with a circulation Of
over 500, 900, chiefly among the work
ing classes in Great Britain, and justly
understood to utter the convictions OF
the masses, takes up this proposition.
and thus disposes of it:
Our commercial interest, as well as
our moral duty, are both on the side Of
strict neutrality. We might possibly,
at the expense Of an American war, OBJ
tain the exit of cotton a few months
earlier than it would otherwise occur,
but hundred millions sterling would
not pay for much fighting, although it
would far more than represent the loss
occasioned by the evil against which we
are invited TO take up arms. We must
also remember that a large portion Of
our trade depression arises from the
fearful disturbance which the civil war
has occasioned in the finances Of the
North. We might. by quarreling with
them, make this much worse: but ruin
ing customers has never been found a
good method Of enlarging trade. II
we were to break the American block
ade because we don't like it, we should
commit an act of aggression which
every civilized country in Europe would
condemn, and we could not afterwards
enforce any blockade ourselves. 1t il
very inconvenient that war should in
terrupt the occupations of peace; bu
we must submit to such disaster un
til we can persuade the parties to th'
quarrel to refer their cause TO an arbit
ration milder than that of the sword.
