 JANUARY 7th, 1861. MR. TAYLOR WHIrLEY-
 Dear Sir avail myself of a few moments time, under the present circumstances, to write you few llnes. It is useless for me to state to you that you will see for yourself, the death and departure of your son William. I know that the news will be artrending to every memb 1T of the family, but hope that you all may have fortitude to bear it, and to be reconced to the will of God But let me say to you by way of condolence, that hope your sons loss is his eternal gam; that he is done with the trouhes priyations and har1ships of th,s world; that he is done being called to duty by the sound of the bugle, or to the battle by the sound of the lndlan's rifle. Let me say to you that have ever found him to be dutiu boy. and with that honor due a brave and patriotic boy. would say te you that on the 26th of Dec, 1861, at the battle of Chustenahlah, when Indian bullets flew thick as hail, he fought like man by my side under my immediate notice, which day he told me was his birth day.
 Dear friend, you may think hard of me for not sending his remains in better style, but have done the best conld under the circumstances. I sent the money to get such things as were needed, but they were not to be had, and we dare not con- sume time, and therefore hope you will excuse me, especially when you consider that had, at the battle of Oak Hills, to bury my brothers son even without coffin. You requested me to send him home if he got killed, and therefore felt under obligations to do the best I coud and it so happened that the Major in command was one of our folks, and l obtained permission on that ac- count.
 Yours with respect,
 JAS. M. KING.

Another Soldier Fallen.

v DIED--On the 18th day of Sept, 1861, of ty- phoid fever, at the house of Wm. Sparkman, But Ter county, Mo, MARIAN M. PACK, of Benton, Sa- line county, Arkansas
 He was member of the Saline Rife Rangers, under the command of Capt. M. J. Henderson, a young man highly esteemed by all who knew him. We looked on him as being one of the brightest stars that adorned our company, just in the bloom of youth; but it the will of the all-wise Crea tor to hurl the shaft of death against him. We have lost a noble brother soldier; his death will be mourned by US.
 We sympathize with his bereaved parents and relations, for they have lost a noble and rela- tive. He died procaiming, onward boys, to vic- tory death. He was enthusiastic in the cause of southern rights and southern honor.
 His remains were brought to Benton and inter red by the side of his mother, upon whose fond breast he clung while she struggled with the monster death, for we are told that she pressed him Ca little infant) to her breast as long as she had strength, and it was always his desire to be buried beside his mother.
 Sleep on, young soldier, though it was your lot to fall before you heard the din of batte yet you are appreciated as soldier, and thy freed spirit we hope rests with thy Savior
 Yet again We hope to meet thee
 When the day of life is ded,
 When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
 Where no farewell tear is shed.

The New Englaud Cotton Mills.

The New York Herald of the 27th ult publishes an elaborate statement of the condition of some of the leading cotton manufacturing districts in New England It states that owing to the rise in the price of the staple, numbers of the heaviest cot ton corporations in New England would re- alizo heavier profits by selling their raw ma terial at present prices than by the sale of manufactured goods, even at the increased rates.
 For instance. at Biddeford, Me-, the amount of cotton now held by the Laoonia corporation is about f 300 bales, which, at the present rate of consumption, will last upwards of two years. By the sale of cot ton now held hy the Laconia corporation, the sum oi $250, 900 would be realized - It is true there is disadvantage in suffering the mills to lie idle in consequence of the rnsting of the machinery, the difficulty in getting hands, and other matters attending upon reorganization; but if the managers get $20,000 or S3000 more by selling their cotton than in working 1t up, the diff ference would still be in their favor.
 The cotton mills in Lowell have sup ply of cotton which will last them six months at present prices. Considering the large supply in the aggregate, an enor- nous profit could be realized by the cor porations if they sold the material at pre- sent prices fhe wolen mills are also well supplied with material. and are turn ing out an immense amount of army work such as stuff for overc0ats, pants, blank cts, etc.
 At Saco, Me-, the York manufacturing company have five mills in the corporation. They are now running one of 4,O00 spin dlos-having 28,000 in all. They have 2,000 bales of cotton on hand. At the Pepperell Mills at Biddeford Me, the largest in Ethe country, working I0,OO0 spindles, and using up l3, GOO bales of cot ton per year, the stock of cotton on hand amounts to about 1, 4,700 bales, and as now working, will last about nine months.
 ThesCocheco Mills at Dover, N. H., have a supply of cotton which will last until about July, forty bales being con sumed per week, turning out forty thousand yards of fine goods per day. Notwithstand- ing the rise in the price of the manufactur- ed article from nine to eleven and twelve cents per yard, it is the opinion of the management that the corporation could make more by selling the cotton than the calico. Fifteen hundred bales midland cot ton, for which they paid eleven cents. and which they now hold, is now worth thirty five cents per pound,
 At Manchester. N. H., there are twelve distinct corporations and twenty eight mills, which have not enjoyed so high g degree of prosperity for several months as they now do. A few months ago several mills had ceased working; but they are now all at work-some running full and others part time,

called by the State of Texas to the head of the judiciary system. The important part which he acted in fashioning the judicial system of the State of Texas has been very fully laid before you by the honorable gentleman who first addressed us. l shall therefore no longer dwell upon it. but simply add that as Solon is remembered in history for the laws which he gave to the Athenian Republic, so shall the name of Hemphill live in the annals of Texas for the part he performed in moulding her laws.
 My personal acquaintance with Mir. HemphilI commenced after he had become a member of the Uuited States Senate. I naturally felt an interest in him, as that class of superior men which South Carolina, with prodigal liberality, has given to her sister States. l soon discovered that he was q man of marked character, and of very high order of intellect. l became in timately acquainted with him in the Con- gress at Montgomery, and witnessed his ef- tcent services in laying the foundation of our great Confederacy. l was very much struck on | close acquaintance with him, with his extraordinary kindness of heart; indeed l scarcely know any one to whom, such was my opinion of his goodness of heart, I would sooner have gone for a fa- vor. He was a man of the highest sense of duty, and the maxim upon which he seem ed to act was that virtue was success He was a man of untlnching firmness, and be- fore he left his native State he had given the most signal evidence that he was of the heroic mould l was prepared, there fore, to hear what has been stated to us to day by his colleague, that when savage foe threatened Austin, he threw aside the robes of the chief justice, and taking up arms, distinguished himself by his daring by driving them back.
 As an intellectual man he was peculiarly distinguished for his good sense. He was pre- cminently wise counciler To lose To lose such man at this time from the councils of the country, is no common loss. It seems pity, too that he should have died in the midst of the great struggle in which we are engaged. It would have been such satisfaction to him to have lived long enough to see our success established on sure foundation-to have witnessed our tri- umphant flag floating proudly over peace ful land. But this has been denied him, he has fallen before our triumph has been achieved But of man who has lived as he has, and acted an important part so we'll, it cannot be said he has lived in vain. Ale died too soon for his counrry, but in the maturity of his fame. Peace and honor to his memory.

Tribnte of Respect.

Among the many brave sons of South Carolina who have gallantly responded to their coun- try's earnest call Whoever they be,) may be men, toned THOMAS D. HEARoN, son of Wm. H. Hea. ron, of Darlington district, s. c.
 He was volunteer in the 9th regiment from the State of Akransas. He was taken sick of typhoid fever at Bowling Green, Ky, and sent to the hos ptal at Nashville, Tenii. where he resigned his spirit to the God who gave it, on the morning of the 3d Dec, 1881. Hewas about 20 years of age. Thomas, like Glany of our noble youths, has of fered his life on the altar of southern indepen- dence, as sacrifice for the constitutional liberty and honor of the southern people. As to his gen. tlemanly department, hear what the Rev. MT. Sam'l. D. Baldwin, at whose house he remained during his illness, says of him: (" The sympathies of many strangers have been drawn towards him by his gentlemanly character, and all that we know of him is commendable.'' In regard to his chris tian profession, the same gentleman says: " He died with faith iu Christ, and in hope of eternal life His last moments were calm and peaceful as the sitting of summers sun.''
 Dearest Thomas, thou hast left us,
 We thy loss doth deeply feel,
 But 'tis Hod who hast bereft us,
 He can all our sorrows heal.
 Peace be with the noble volunteer brave. May the recollectons of his many virtues will be fresh in the hearts of his numerous friends. May our country cherish his remembrance, and wreath A garland of immortal honor for its fallen brave

TIE FlsHMoSGERs OF LoNDoE-There has been some curiosity expressed as to who the "Fishmongers" were that Wm l.. Yancey spoke before in London. The London correspondent of the New York Times says: "
 The Guild of Fishmongers is one of the old and wealthy corporations which still exist in the city U the fragments of state of society which has long since passed away-hut though the original meaning of the institution has been lost and forgotten in the lapse of time, it is still an honor which very great men are proud to accept to be enrolled as members of the an oient Guild. Mir. Yancey therefore, sboke to TO mean audience and was applauded by no un- important men,

DO THEY MISS ME AT HoME9

Do thsy miss me at home-do they miss me' IL would be assurance most dear, To know that this moment some loved ons Were saying'' wish he here" To feel that the group at the hreside Were thinking of me, as roam 0 yes, it would be joy beyond measure
 To know that they miss me at home
 To know that they miss at home. When twilight approaches-the That ever is sacred to song Do some repeat my name over, And sigh that tarry so long And is there chord in the music That's missed when my voice is away, And chord in each heart that awaketh,
 Regret at my wearisome stay
 Regret at my wearisome stay. Do they set me a chair near the table. When evenings home pleasures nigh When the cand es lit in the parlor, And the stars in the sky; And when the good nights repeated, And all lay them down to their sleep, Do they think of the absent and wait mo
 And whisper good night while they woep- And whisper good night while they weep. Do they miss me at home-do they miss me At morning at noon, or at night, And fingers one gloomy shade round them That only my presence can light, Are joys less invitngly welcome And pleasures less hale than befOre Because one is missed from the circle
 Because l am with them more
 Because am with them more.
