Death of Mai. John A. Mc:Fall,

It's our sad duty to announce the death OF MAJ.
JOHN A MCCALL, which occurred early Oh Monday
morning last at the residence of his father, Col.
JOHN McF ALL, 4 miles South of this place. The
deceased was in the 2sth year Of his age His dis
ease was consumption, with which he has been suf-
fering for eighteen months or more. The past
winter he spent in Florida, under the advice of
friends who believed that the mild climate there
might benefit him and who fondly hoped for his re-
storation under that influence. But an overriding
and wise Providence decreed otherwise, and lie was
compelled to return. He arrived here about
week since, in that lingering condition so peculiar
to consumptivcs Surrounded by devoted relatives
and friends his last moments were soothed by
their presence and sympathetic attentions Yet
their ardent wishes and affectionatc care ayailed
not to stay the hand of the Dcstroyer-his genial
spirit passes from its clayey tenement to that God
who created it.
Maj. MCCALL possessed those qualities which
concentrate numerous Observation-Disclosures lib
era enthusiaatic and energetic. At the time of
his DEATH he held the position of Major in the 1st
Regiment of Cavalry, to which Office he was eleva-
ted two years since, running without opposition
and receiving the entire vote, as he retained the
confidence and esteem, of his command. His loss
will be deeply mourned by his bretlrcn-in-arms.
The funeral obscqucs of the deceased were at
tended by large number Of citizens, at the Bap-
tist Church, Tuesday morning. An impressive and
appropriate discourse was delivered by Rev. j.
Scorr MURRAY, who was followed in q touching
exhortaton by Rev. Mr.. TAYLOR, Of Virginia.
Maj. MCCALL leaves behind him a sorrowing
wife, with numerous relatives ard friends, who
nourns his early death. In their bereavement, we
tender our sincere coincidence.

The State Loan.

We publish an advertisement, gratuitously, from
the President of the Bank of the State, in regard
to the Bonds authorized by the Legislature to raise
funds necessary TO carry OH the government Of
South Carolina. The Investment in these Bonds is
undoubtedly a safe and profitable one, and the
proposed plan appeals to The patriotism and libcr-
ality of our wealthy citizens. The object is not to
squandcr on foreign schemes but TO sustain the
expenses of an oppressed people while endeavcr-
ing to secure independence and liberty. Viewed
in this light, VIC trust that those who make invest
mcnts in Eonds will Immediately seek out these
now advertised. See another column.

inaugural of President Davis.

The firm, disnificd and statcsmanlie Inaugural
Address of President JEFFERSON DAVIS meets the
approval of every man We hear mentioning it. Its
tone is calm-no buster, no undertaking the
crisis, and no pandcring to enemies of any sort
in word, the right sentiments and opinions spoken
in the right manner. The needless horde Of cocr-
conists and Union-prcscrvcrs will find nothing
consoling in this document, and must surely now
begin to appreciate the position of the Confederate
States, if not before
Those of our readers not privileged with its pc
rusal before, will find the Address upon our fourth
page this week 1t deserves and should receive a
reading from every one, especially citizens of this
government.

A Response.

Our young friend who has publicly avowcd mat
rmonial designs, by advertisement, will find
pithy reply to his card, in another column. In adj
mitting the same, we dcviatc from an established
rule prohibiting the admission of anonymous wri-
tcrs into our columns but the manuscript evident
ly proceeds from one of the feminine gender, and
in extenuation of our course in this instance, we
must acknowledge TO a pardonablc weakness about
refusing the request of daughter Of Eve-wc
never could do so with the least possible grace
In saying this much, we open Our columns for the
proposed correspondence between the parties; but
learn, however, that "HENRY" desires to receive
his letters privately and in good faith. Therefore,
"IDA L." will be constrained to address him
through the Post Office giving directions by which
letter might reach her.

Thesnian Corns.

We learn that the students of the Military Acad-
emy have organized Thcspian Corps for their pr-
vatc benefit and improvement. The enterprise is
commendable one, and will prove valuable aux
iliary in advancing the student in elocution. What
ever tends to improve and instruct them in de-
clamation should receive hearty encouragement
from the friends and patrons of the institution.
1t affords us qualification, in this connection, to
report that the Academy is fourishing and pros
porous, notwithstanding the stringency in none
tary affairs, which apparently affects every occu-
patton and profession. The number of students,
We believe, is about sixty-five, and more are ex-
pected very shortly. The eminent abilities and
qualifications of Capt. ADAMS Instructor in NIathe-
mates, Military Discipline, &C., and Mr. W. A. Nc
QUEEN, of the Classical Department, renders the
prediction safe one, that the Academy is only
reaching the entrance to popular favor. and that
time will yet further advance its prospects and in
crease its popularity. So mote it be.

With feelings of sincere sorrow do we record
the death of WILLIAM NJ MARTIN, young man OF
bright promise and superior talents, whose many
friends will shed heartfelt tears al his early de-
mise. The pure gems of his sparkling genius al
ready adorned and enriched the literature of the
day: his brilliant. versatile talents entitled him 10
unfading laures, while his graceful, winning pow
ers of conservation attracted numerous friends to
his side, But, alas for the brittle tenure of life;
the angel of Death, in ncyer-ccasinS destruction,
aims an unerrng fatal Shaft, and while yet IN the
bloom of manhood, he disappears from the stage OF
acton-he is gone from carth-sccncs, and entered

AIrssns EpIrons: The lth Regiment of Volun-
teers having been organized by the election of their
field officers the writer is informed that one thing is
still needed; that is, q stand of colors. Whilst
the patriotic of both sexes are vieng with each
other in the various sections of the State, to en-
courage and stimulate their soldiery to the lottiest
enthusiasm and ambition is it asking too much Of
our cwn people to request that, the able and
wealthy citizens of Anderson, Pckcns and Green
vile, will see to it that the Mountain Regiment
shall be furnished with suitable stand of colors,
with proper and patriotic Devices that will re-
fleet credit both on the donors and the recipients.
Is it right that our citizens should allow the Regi
mcnt to repair to the field in the defence of the
State without equipping it with banner, the me-
mortal of patriotism at home, and an ensign thai
should and no doubt will, stimulate its posscssors
to noble deeds of daring and hcrosm.
Let the services then, of artists be put in rcqui-
sition to draw suitable design, and let the patri-
otc and wealthy come forward with liberal dona-
ions to procure such banner will reflect credit
and honor upon this Brigade, and upon which the
Regiment can look with pride in the hour of vic
tory or death.
would merely suggest, that on one side at least
should be represented view of the glorious noun
tans of our own Palmetto State, to indicate from
whence come the men who march under the shadow
of its folds Our own artists, AIillwee, Borsel and
Arnold, weuld am sure contribute most willing
ly their skill to the perfection of such design
and the means to procure it furnished, the material
could be easily secured from some of our Charles
ton artists who are in the habit of manufacturing
flags. What high-sOued citizen will head the
movement?
Will not the Editorial corps throw their influence
in behalf of this praiseworthy object? 1 am al
most certain of it.
Citizens, do act promptly in this matter! The
men who have volunteered in defence of the State
and of your rights and equality, desire this much
at your hands? Nay, they expect it, Shall they
be disappointed?

Tho Revolutionary Fathers.

Twenty patriots of the revolution died during
the past year Eighty-two arc all that arc now left
This paragraph is going the rounds of our cx-
changes and doubtless is true The small remnant
of that noble ancestry, living, must look with
trembling emotion upon the momentous events
which have transprcd lately and iirc now being
enacted They have in their later years, witnessed
the growth of sectionalism and hatred among the
Northern masses, until the South has been forced
to seek prompt remedial mcasures-a portion of
the States under new government, while others
arc demanding additional guarantees for their safe
ty and protection. The Revolutionary patriot, ac-
customcd to heed the warnings and admonition of
the carly sagcs of the Republic, cannot have looked
upon the crumbng pillars of government and felt
the crashing effect of secession, without deploring
the madness and folly which forced the slave States
to this ISSUE His Inherent hatred Of oppression
and msruc must lead him to sympathizc With the
movement of resistance. Soon The last one Of our
Revolutionary fathers will be beneath the grassy
sod-in a few years the cold grave will contain the
ashes of that revercnccd band of patriots, and not
one will be left to {" fight his battles ocr again!
And yet, before the last one sleeps tile sleep of
DEATH" his eyes will behold the magnfcence,
grandeur and power of the Confederate States-a
new nation built upon the principles of freedom
and liberty for which he and his noble comrades
fought.
