The announcement Of the death Of two such men
can but awaken the deepest sorrow aud regret in
this community, where they were well known and
esteemed for their manly virtues and nobility Of
character.
The first named was perhaps better known, hav-
ing been raised in the neighborbood Of Sharon, in
this county, and at one time sitting as a member
Of the Board Of Police from that district. By all
who knew him he was most highly esteemed and
loved, not only for his strict integrity and elevated
tone Of character but also for his readiness to OBJ
lige and for his genellity and warmth Of heart.
James NJ. McCuloch was probably not so well
known, but he was not less loved 10y those who
knew him. Modest and retiring, rarely do we dnd,
as in him. such gentleueSs and amiabity Of dispo-
siton united with such frmness Of character, such
unbendmg adherence toprihoiple. He sconed and
detested what is mean, and he loved and honoTed

There are few persons aware Of the desti-

lay before them few facts assured that we
shall, as on former occasion, receive prompt
assistance as soon as it is known that we
need it.
There are about sixty patients requiring
good nourishing food, for whom nothing has
been provided but beef and bread. There
is neither lard or milk, so that any cook can
form an idea of the black, heavy biscuit sent
to the table, when he is still further Informed

communication on this subject. We are quite
sure there are many ladies in town who
would willingly bake good light bread
for the hospital if the flour was furnished
them, of which there is the greatest plenty
at the Commissary's store. If the hospital
surgeons will only perform their duty, there
need be no want of good bread and whole.

in management of the hospital quite sure
they are doing their whole duty?

What the Legislature Should DOs

0ver-legsation is one of the greatest evils
Of republican form Of government, and as
our lawmakers are now assembled at Column
bus, it becomes the press, and the people
through that medium, to speak in time to
their representatives on this subject. There
is more danger of too much being done than
not enough. In the days of Solomon it was
believed that " in multitude of counse!lors
there was safety" but if solomon had lived
to see and become acquainted with such coun-
sellers as Mississippi has been favored with,
he would have issued new edition Of his
Proverbs, and IN lieu Of the above quotation
would have inserted GOOD save us from a
multitude of counsellorS."
There are some questions that claim the
careful attention of the legislature. The
Confederate government has passed a con-
script law and taken fully in hand the pac-
ing in the field a sufficient number of troops
to prosecute this war. 1t is the duty of the
4 State, then, to becomQthe guardian and pro-
e tpctor of the interests of those who are away
: in the army, and bend every energy to see
that sufficient food is made to support those
in arms as well as those left dependent at
home by reason Of their absence. Instead Of
VI our State authorities being troubled about
raising troops, let them leave that matter to
.l,o Co,cadorat oovorpronut nd G;rnrt th al :
attention to raising grain crops and proys.
ions. Let the Militia system be abolished il
toto, and decrepid old men, who have beer
Wheeling in camp, be sent home to their farml
to provide sustenance for the wives and child
rrn of Confederate soldiers. They are una
for military service, and sicken and die i,
camps from exposure, and do no sulfcien
good for their country to counterbalance th
loss the country sustains for the want of tn
provision producing population.
What is the country more liable to suffe
FROM now than any thing else? Have W
plenty of supplies for next twelve months
pid not the calling of the militia into activ
service eighteen mouths ago, causing an un
told and almost incalculable loss in crop
and particularly in hogs, sheep and cattl

Viii the same folly be persisted in, or

SMALL CHANGE.

Since the destruction of our railroads, and
the consequent withdrawal of their small
notes from circuation there is nothing which
gives more annoyance to the community than
the absence Of small change.
The good housewife finds herself unable to
make the necessary change for marketing
The news boy can give you no change to sell
his papers, and the soldier is even compelled
to pay two prices for small articles, because
ne cannot make change. The government at
Richmond is issuing notes of denominations
OF fifty cents and other fractional parts of
dollar, and we respectfully suggest as the
government has the control of every thing
nowadays from a ten penny nail to mans
soul and body, from a wheel barrow to a
steam engine, that the Quartermasters, in
making their acquisitions for funds to pay
the soldiers in this portion of the country,
should includein their estimates small change
ooth tor the convenience of the people and
o. the army. What to them would be
little trouble and labor, would be to all par.
ues the greatest convenience, and as they
are gallant and accommodating set of gen
uemen, we hope soon to see our suggestions
acted upon, and the country relieved from
the present inconvenience.
