Our dispatches have already announced
the death at Charleston, S. c., last We'd
nesday morning, Of the Hon. James L.
Petigru, an eminent lawyer and states
man, a native ofthat State, at the age of
seventy -four years. "Faithful found
among the faithless, faithful only he"
Mr. Petigru in both the revolutionary
movement of 1830-'33, and the secession
movement of 1860-'6l, held fast to his
loyalty to the Union, and this, though at
the sacrifice of popularity, never at that
Of the personal respect and esteem which
his purity of character compelled even
from those with whom he radically diff
fered, and that too, at a time of high OK
element and fierce intolerance. He has
represented his district in the Federal
Congress, and has been member of the
South Carolina Legislature. He was U
s. District Attorney, at time when 10
hold thar Office exposed him TO odium

The Richmond Wing, of the 18th, has
an article on The " South. west" in which
it admits as possibly true an assertion
that "the people Of the Souih-w west are
more inclined to peace, especially with
the North west, than the Atlantic States
of the Cohfederacy." The Wing attrib-
utes this inclination TO the reverses of the
rebel arms in the West. The Wing says:
"The Yankees now bold Nashville more
firmly than before, threaten seriously the
occupation of East Tennessee, are not
dislodged from Northern Mississippi,
have again entered Florence, and make q
promise-not altogether idle-of euter-
ing Georgia. 70

arms in Tennessee and Kentucky. lf VIC
