from the effect of poverty and want.
Every night before going to bed Nelson,
Mitchell took his wife and children to his
room, and, after having locked the door
and shut the blinds, hung an Amerlcah,
|hag out over his mantle and sat there byI
lit in conversation with hi, family The
evening that he died his house was struck
Iby one of our shells from Cummings
Point, and his family thus left more des-
'titute than ever. They are being very
well looked after now, and don't think
will be allowed to suffer much hereafter.
. For ali this service he had the dis
pleasure of the authorities and the cold
mess of the people but the way in which
the negroes talk about him is very ten
'der."
Nothing can be added to this simple
narrative. Among all South Carolinians
we have ever heard of, Nelson Mitchell
alone seems truly chivalric. Through
|all the intolerable gaseonade and inhu-
man sophistry of the absurd State, his
4 plea for the black prisoners is the sole
lennobling sound. Is it to Calhoun, and
Ito the fine gentlemen and ladies his fol-
|lowers, or to Nelson Mitchell, that the
great Master speaks: "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done 1t unto
