How the Old Bachelor Lived
and Died.

From an inquiry which recently took place
in London, respecting the death of Mr. Geo.
Beamire, who died in very extraordinary cir
cumstances, we CLEAN the following interest
ing facts
This gentleman was seventy-live years of
age, possessed considerable property, and was
formerly II barrister. .at-law He was man
of considerable ability; and, although eccen-
tric, of perfectly sound mind ahd capable of
managing his property. For the past twenty
years, he has lived in almost total seclusion
no person. under any pretense whatever,
being allowed to enter the three rooms in his
occupation. His meals were prepared by his
housekeeper, and were left on a tray at the
door of the ante-room, and then taken in by
the deceased; and although many times in a
state of ill-health, he refused to have medical
aid, but used to have sent in from a chemist
| a quantity of different medicines All com
muncations to him were received in the same
way as his meals, and for more than twelve
months he never left the house 1t is beley-
+ ed that his time was chiefly spent in reading
and writing the society of his feow-man
being entirely dispensed with
On Wednesday, before the examination,
the housekeeper went up, as usual, with his
dinner, but received no reply at the door, and
although she frequently called him, she did
not again see him alive. On Saturday morn
ing, becoming alarmed, she made communi-
cation to the police, and the door was broken
open, when a scene was presented which
almost deiies description. On entering the
anieroom, the floor was found to be strewn
with hundreds of newspapers, writings, &c,
chars, tables and other articles of furniture
In another room, the furniture, of very hand
some description, was covered with dust nearly
an inch thick, and the floor was strewn with
trunks, papers, and books of science and law
OF much value There we're also three large
bags filed with new boots, and several silver
spoons lay upon the sdeboards, and packages
of candies clothing, &c were heaped up in
all parts, in tho utmost confusion. In this
room, thickly covered with dust, was also
large and costly painting of the scrucifxion
When the shutters were opened in the third
room, a dreadful sight was presented. The
deceased was found lying. back in an arm
composition, having no doubt been dead sew
eral days He was dressed, but in very dirty
state, and by his side lay the remains Of some
food There was not the slightest vestigo of
bed or bedding, aud the deceased must for
twenty years have slept in the same chair. In
other parts of the room were scraps of bread,
bottles of wine and medicine, this as we'll as
other rooms being almost impossible, while
the light of day had evidently been shut out
for years. Upon a further search made by
the police, e7 lis. in bag, gold and silver
watch, twenty-six silver articles and other
valuables were found, while upon the floor
were scattered thirty keys A post nlortem
examination was held, from which it was
shown that death had resulted from exhaus-
ton from low fever accelerated by neglect

The Trme Issues.

Republicans arc continually throwing
dust in the eyes of the people and binding
them to the true issues. They say we are
in league with JEFF. DAVIS, and in proof Of
it say that we never abuse the South or in
other words we do not lie about them,
and claim every defeat as victory. What
have we to do with JEFF. DAVIS? VIII
Safeguarding the people of the South

or will it even promote the work of sub
DUNG the South, to deceive ourselves and
try to deceive others with false ideas in re-
gard to the progress of the war. Usur-

of their rights in the name of liberty. To
do so they raise false issues that attract at
teuiion while the chains of servitude are
being rivited on the people. Suppose we

A New York correspondent, writing
General ScoTT, says;

A New York correspondent, writing of
General ScoTT, says;
"On the subject of the war the General is
relicent 1t gives him pain. To a question
in regard to it, he shook his head, replying,
"rhat is matter l do not talk upon; it is a
subject tor others to discuss, and not for me
to dwell upon in my old age, 1t is in other
hands, and must engross the attention of other
heads"
The Cleveland Leader, vile Abolition
sheet, comments on the above as fol-
lows:
"ls it possible that the veteran General ig-
nores this monster civil war-that he refuses
TO manifest any interest in this struggle of the
Government for its life--that he has no rebuke
for the insurgents, and no word of cheer for
the encouragement of the brave, heroic Union
soldiers in the feld2
We have heard that General Scott was luke
warm in the cause-that he was not more than
hafhearted in the prosecution of the war for
suppressing the rebellion. Charitably, we have
been inclined to dsbelieve suggestions like
these. We could not easily admit that that
country that has made him all he is, and whose
bounty he now daily enjoys could tail TO be the
object of his most intense soicitude
True, we were not forgetiul of the slow and
tender coil of his famous anaconda, nor of
the tumultuous aud mob like crowd rather than
an army of soldiers, that was sent to be slaugh
tered ON the first Bull Run battle.feld-and

paying to the Government "a tax on his income
to support the war, claiming that he should b'

his death Yet this man refuses to talk abou
the war, or to manilestany interest in it, Well

Abolitionists generally. do is TO taik about

litionsts would have suppressed it long ago.
Why don't the editor of the Leader, stop
his "much talking" and goto the field

the contest is 20 be ended by fighting, as
the Abolitionists claim then it is .6ghfing

General Scorr for not "taliing abont the

by not talking quite so much, when what

Present Military Policy Of the
SOuth.

All through the war the South has
fought on the defense, and was prevented
by the character of her government from
making war of conquest on of inva-
sion. She could only invade for the pur-
pose of getting supplies or of compelling
peace. If the South continues to keep
up armies, so long viii she maintain her
independence, although much of her terri
tory may be occupied by the Federal ar
mics. When the Russians retreated be-
fore the victorious armies of NAPOLEON.
giving up Poland and abandoning Mos
cow, they saved their country. While it
is very certain that had they Imet NApo-
LEON on the frontier, and fought him with
all their power, they would have been con
quered, and The great Empire would have
been helpless and exhausted at the feet of
the conqueror. The Fabian policy of
retreat and refusal to give battle, once
saved Rome from HANNIBAL. Up to this
time the Southern policy has led them to
fight a series of exhausting battles which
have decided nothing, but which have
used up the best Of the Southern popula-
ton with fearful rapidity. She could
not fight many more such battles without
running herself, and it seems her people, OF
her managers, have at last comprehended
it, Had WAsHEeToN fought single
stubborn battle with the English army,
our fathers would have lost their indepen-
denee. 1t is hard to get people to give
up their territory to destruction, but if a
people are devoted to cause they mus
sometimes give up part in order
to save all, or to save anything. Il
would seem that the Southern Generals
are now acting on this policy, and avoid
ing battle. This policy is possible with
people that have large country to de
fend, and what its effect may be, is always
uncertain. 1t requires intense devotion
and high spirit on the part of the people
Texas on the one hand, and the regions o
Carolinas and Georgia on the other, will
now become the scenes OF long and dies
olating war We have no hope of
speedy peace. That shadow seems agaiI
to be fitting away from our hopes.
