was an orator or q great speaker, 10 exclaim,
But you should hear Jack Brough." His
influence on tho stump has scarcely aver
been excelled. When the famous Joint
campaign was being made between Corwin
and Shannon, for Governor, the Democratic
leaders found It expedient to withdraw
shannon and substitute Brough, in order
that they might not utterly fail in the can.
vass. Corwin and Brough were warm friends
and none Of his friends ever had higher
admiration for the genius of the former than
the latter.
HIS FAMILY.
On the 18th Of November. 1892. Mr..
Brough married Miss Achsah p. Pruden,
Of Athens, Ohio. By her he had three
children-two boys and daughter. One
OF his sons died in 1874. The mother died
September 8, 1898, in the twenty-ffth year
OF her age. On the 7th day Of September,
lS43, ne married, at Lewiston, Pa, Miss
Caroline A. Nelson, of Columbus, o., by
whom he had two sons and two daughters.
Both Of the sons have died.
PREPARATIONS FOR DEATH.
SO soon as Governor Brough became
aware OF the dangerous nature Of his disease
he made his will (said to be an admirable,
business-like document,) and talked to his
wife, children and friends. He made full
preparation for death.
HIS LAST ILLNESS.
During his last illness Mr.. b. exhibited
extraordinary patience and fortitude while
suffering under most intense pain. The
first day he reached home be said to his
wife that he had come home to die; and
upon greeting his daughter-the wife of
the Rev. L. Cunningham, of Philadelplia
after her arrival few weeks later, he
said to her: You have come to see your
old father die" 1t seems that throughout
his entire sickness, while he has exhibited
a strong determination to conquer the dis
ease, if possible, he has, nevertheless, been
impressed with the presentiment that he
should never recover.
HIS RELIGIOUS FAITH.
Though not a member Of church, ner
during the last ten years an active atten-
dant at any place Of public worship, he was
nevertheless Christian. The evidence Of
this be repeatedly exhibited during his i'll
ness. He espeused no particular sect but
believed In the fundamental principles Of
Christianity. He has expressed himself
freely on this subject to his family during
his recent affiiction, and there can be nc
doubt of his sincerity.
DE stated very calmly, yet with deep feel
ing, that he was, and had always been, a
firm believer in the doctrine of Christianity;
that he had full faith and hope in Jesus
Christ, and through him he hoped for eter-
nal life. He remarknl that he had never
been denonstrative man, bu. his faith
had nevertheless BEEN ilmly and deeply
grounded.

ANOTHER CASE OF SHOOTING. G.-We re-
gret to learn that during the past week
another soldier, belonging to the 9th
Regiment Veteran Volunteers, was shot
by the Provost Guard. The ball entered
in the axilla, passing close to the artery,
making its exit at the outer border of
the scaptla, inflicting severe and dan
gerons wound. The. unfortunate man is
in the charge of Surgeon DALEY, under
whose skill he is rapidly recovering.
Tie soldier of the 21st U. S. C. T.,
who we noticed in our last issue as hav-
ing been shot, is aise in fair Way of re.
eovery. Too much praise cannot be
awarded to DR.. DALEY for the attention,
skill and good discipline exercised at the
Provost Hospital, and which manifests
itself in the success that attends his eff
outs in the discharge of his duties.

ministration of President JOHNSON to the
confidence and support of the people,
and concludes by advising them all to
take the oath, not in the manner pre-
scribed by REvrRDY JOHNSON, but in good
faith, and to keepit.
The attitude of these mcn-men whom
the people trust-gives strong grounds
of hope for the future, and fully iustities
the policy which has been pursued by
Major General @. A. GILMORE, of this
Department, which has been, more than
in any other Department, one of stern
justice, without any attempt at "concil-
iation."

The Right spirit.

-ht. w W. h~1NN'
, influential man III this State, has lately
made an address at meeting to CONSIDER
the subject of the restoration OF civil
government, which must exert an ex'
tended and salutary influence, He as
sured his hearers of the generous dispo
sition of the Government towards them,
and the whole tone of his speech was tc
advise them to show themselves worthy
of such generosity. Slavery he con
sidered gone, and that the best thing tt
do was to recognize the fact distinctly
and unequivocally, and accept it in per
feet good faith with ali its logical conse
quences. "Any other course, he said
-st;s only going to protract and in
tensify the darkness of the night through
which We are now passing. Let us re
cognize the great fact that the negro is
no longer slave, and let us act toward
him in kind spirit. This does not, o.
course, imply that we are to sacrifice our
selves for him, but it means that we are
to give him fair chance. This is o,lI
policy, this our dnty. Less than this
will not salty our sister States.
sour greatest craftsmanship" he con
tinued,
--snow consists in pacifcation with the
North. Every man should lend himself
to this work. Whoever does kindness
to Northern man is doing wise thing
for his country. Let us forget the horri.
BILE struggle through Which We have
passed as much as we can. Let us look
before us, and not behind u.s. Let us
not despair of our country. God is wiser
than We are. The history of nations is
the Judgment of God. Let us acquiesce
in that destiny from which there is nc
appeal"
Ex-Governor BEowN, of Georgia, has
published an address to the people which
breathes similar spirit. Speaking on
the subject of emancipation, from his
knowledge of the sentiment of the peo-
pie and of the Government, acquired
dufing his sojourn in the North, he as:
sures them that there is no division OF
opinion there upon the subject:
SIT is decreed alike by the people and
the Government. They are determined
to exercise it, and to overcome all obsta-
cles which We may attempt to throw in
the way. Indeed, they treat it as an &C.
complished fact, under the proclama-
tions of the late President issued as War
measures necessary to the life OF the
Government. AS matters now stand, TO
fight against it is to contend against
manifest destiny. Besides, slavery has
been so disturbed and the slaves so de-
moralized during the war that it is a
matter of great doubt whether they
could ever be kept III state of proper
subordination, and the institution made
profitable in future.
Therefore, he advises unconditional,
accomplishing submission:
-" and that we give up slavery at once
by the action of the ConEention which,
it is supposed, will assemble under the
call of the Provisional Government APP
pointed to reorganize the State Govern
ment. That we organize o System of To-
Dor rs speedily rs possible, which will
be alike just to the late master ard slave:
that We return to the Union in good
faith, and do all in onr power as good
citizens to relieve the distressed, repair
the damages which have resulted from
the contest, and restore permanent peace

Department, which has Leen, more than
in any other Department, one of stern
Justice, without any attempt at "concil-
iation."
GONE NORTH Among the passengers
by the Steamer s. r. SpdotlHag yester-
day, for New York, was Capt. VINCENT
w. NJ. Brown, who came to this depart
ment with the original expeditionary
corps, under command of Brevet Major
General (then Brigadier) THos.. W. SHEER
MAN, in November, 1861, as I'd Lieut.. of
Company G, 1st N. Y. Vol. Engineers.
He has rendered faithful and efficient
service in connection with all Of the.
many engineering operations in this De-
partment, more particularly on the for
tifcations at Hilton Heod, in Florida,
and during the siege of Charleston and
Fort Sumter.
His services in connection with the
Engineer Department at Hilton Head
have been invaluable to the interests of
this department. This depot has been
brought to very high state of efficiency
by his untiring energy and excellent bust
ness qualities. The promptness with
which orders were executed, while it was
under the charge of Capt. Brown, has
repeatedly called forth many complimen-
tary remarks from his superior officers.
Brevet Colonels Poe and REESE, U. S.
Engineers, expressed their thanks for the
promptness and good will displayed in
the renewal of their engineer supplies
from this depot, when General SHER-
MAN S army was passing through the de-
partment. Two complete French pon-
tom trains, including trestles, have been
built at the depot under Capt Browns
direction, the first of which was OF great
value in the various operations around
Broad River last fall.
Capt. Brown was twice promoted in
his regiment, and refused higher promo
ton once or twice, in difference TO claims
of officers of higher grade than himself
in his regiment. He leaves many wsrm
friends behind him.
