DEATHS,

In Charlotte, at the North Carolina Mill
tary Institute, on the morning of the 1st of
February, oftyphoid fever, Joseph Geraldus,
eldest son of General Joseph B.. Littleiohn, of
franklin county, in the twentieth year of his
age. The subject of this notice was a youth
OF uncommon promise. Possessing fine tai
ents, a most amiable and affectionate DISPOSE
ton, united to the highest sense of honor, he
was justly beloved by all who knew him. 1t
has seldom been the lot of any one to record
the death of a more estimable youth. The
writer of this has known him from his earliest
childhood, and is confident that a purer, more
noble, strictly conscientious person, he has
never known His whole conduct through
life has been governed by Christian princi-
pies, He early loved the Saviour, and relied
on Him as his pattern and guide. During
his illness he was patient and submissive, and
his end was peaceful. To his bereaved father
and friends we would say, mourn not as
those without hope--he is not lost but gone
before" Gone from a world of sin and sor-
row to join his beloved mother in a Heavenly
Home. May this sad dispensation Of Provi-
dence be blessed to his schoolmates, with
whom he was a universal f~avorltc, and may
the exemplary life he led while at the Insti-
tute be as a beacon to guide them also into
the paths of peace. B. F. j.

CoNGREss.-On Monday last, Mr.. Clinoman
made a set speech in the Senate, in which he
declared he would vote for Crittenden's or anv
other proposition looking towards peace; but
that the South would be united unless the
North made concessions.
Petitions and Memorials are pouring in
against the Infamous Black Republican tariff
bin.
Senator johnson spoke against the South
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and declared he
would rather be a Black Republican than a
Red one.
In the House, on Wednesday, Mr.. Colfax,
of Indiana introduced a bill to annul the con-
tracts and withdraw the mails from the secc-
ding States, which was passed by 131 to 26.

eral to annul the contracts and withhold the

The STAY LAw.-The bill for the relief Of
the people, or as it is generally called, "the
stay law, . and which passedits second reading
in the Senate on Tuesday, is creating a good
deal of talk on the streets, pro and con. It's
friends urge it as a measure to benefit the
people, while its opponents say it will be in
furious to the people. We confess there are
pretty strong arguments on each side, and
we hardly know how to decide. In case of
evil war, now so threatening, we think the
law would be necessary-otherwise, we see
no great necessity for it.
The history Of the world shows that man
will take advantage of the necessities of his
fellow-man. A good citizen, with a comfor-
table living, may owe some debts, contracted
IN prosperous times and when he had every
reasonable prospect of meeting them prompt
ly but a crash Comes-war ensues-busi
ness stagnates, and unless the law interpose
its strong arm for its protection, his all NAV
be sacrificed for the payment of a paltry sum
the rich growing richer, and the poor poor
er. This is one side OF the question.
On the other hand it is contended that the
poor man cannot force the rich man to pay
him for his labor, and that he will therefore
be the sufferer. We believe the great foun-
dation Of the credit system is not so much up
on the laws enforcing the payment of debts
as it is upon the confidence reposed in the
honesty and ability Of the debtor.
I'D VaL0ren1 Banner.
The stay bill has passed the Senate by a
decided majority, and is now before the Com
mons.

decided to establish relief depots at three
prominent points in the State, as the only
way to reach the sufferers in the distant set
Elements. The statements taken by Mr..
HYATT from the lips Of some of them, show
that the worst has not yet been felt. The
calamity becomes hourly ~greater-forty thou
sand of the people need aid now, and the
number is increasing hourly. Mr.. Hyatt
has written a letter to the Kansas Legislature
urging the propriety of Immediately address
ing a memorial to the Legislatures of the
several States.-Mr. Arney proceeds at once
into the State with reference to the estab-
lishtnent of the depots. BY personal in
spection on the railroad from Mendoza to
Atchison, he lnds over eighty car loads OF
provisions between those places; which added
to the previous relief received, makes nearly
four million pounds, all told, that have been
sent to the furnished. But this is only about
one.ffth of the relief teat will be needed and
if the country does not contribute seed for
the people to plant, even this relief will be
insufficient. Gen. Pomeroy's funds are
nearly exhausted in paying the freights t(
Atchison, and more money is greatly needed
Mr.. Arney will return to Mendoza, AMI ther
continue his efforts with the State Legs
laturc for means to purchase seed wheat
for which over 100000 bushels at least VII
be needed.

MURDER OF AN Ex-CoNGREssMAN. Joseph
l.. White, ESQ, the ~well-known lawyer OF
New York, and formerly member OF Congress
from the State of Indiana, was shot recently
somewhere in Central America by a Bosto-
man named Gavitt. Mr.. White had gone to
Central America on professional business,
and the difficulty, whatever it was, was
caused by some misunderstanding IN re'atlon
to business matters connected with a large
India rubber contract with an American COM
pany, of which Mr.. White was counsel and
AGENT. Mr.. White was shot in the knee on
the evening of the 9th of january, soon at
| ter landing from the Pacific steamer. The
wound was so severe that amputation was
found to be necessary, but was Intellectual as
a cure. He fingered for a few days, and died
on the 10Th of January. Mr.. White, during
the Walker excitement, was largely lntereS'
ted in the lines Of steamers running between
New York city and several points OF Central
America, in connection With CON-, Wander,
bilt and others.
