Death OF Col. A. P. Calhoun.

We regret to announce the demise Of that esti-'
unable gentleman and true. patriot, Col. ANDREW
P. CALHOUN, which occurred at Fort IIil near
Pendleon, on Thursday morning last, after an i'll
ness of only two hours duration. For several
gears he was President of the State Agricultural
Society, and in 1860 was appointed Commissioner
to Alabama from this State. With these two cx-
ceptions VIC believe, he had never accepted public
position, but engaged his mind in the more con-
genial pursuts Ofprivato life A truthful and "p-
propriate tribute to his memory, by one who
knew him well, vii! be found in the obituary col

The people with whom re have TO eontend in
this strife for liberty have bees remarkably
consistent in their efforts to enl the world
and civilize its population But their practices do
not comport with their teachings. he inhuman
and unnatural vindictiveness with which they have
cmblazoncd the history of these iiiraes, does not
agree with their blatant professio superior
civilization and refinement. We striking

duce few paragraphs from KExT's Commentaries,
which is considered high authority among the
Yankee nation, upon the subject of the rules and
laws which should govern the rights of bclligcrents
IN relation to each other. It will be readily
observed that.our vuunted and sllpsrcllous foe.
has totally disrcgarded the rights aud dsages of
modern warfare, and receded from every position
assumed by Chancellor KnST, in tue following ,e1-
tracts, as correct.and in accordance with the Law
of nations:
? &c ThereFisa marked difference in the tight of
war, carried onsby land and at sea-. The object of
maritime war is destructiOns0f the enemys
commerce and gations in order to weaken and
destroy the foundations of his naval power. The
capture destruction of private property essen
tial to that end and it is allowcdin maritime wars
by the law and practice of nations. But there arc
great limitations imposed upon the operations of
war by land, though deprcdationss supon private
property, and despoiling and plundcrng the enc
mys territory, are still too prevalent, especially
whcn,the war is assisted by irregulars. Such con-
duct has been condemned:in p.l sges by the wise.
and srtuous and it is Usually severely by
those commanders of disciplined, troops who have
studied war as science and are animated by
sense Of duty or the lorc of fame.

property upon land, without making compensation,

operations of war, or when captured iup places car

Returned Prisoners.

For the past fortnight large nunlbers,o of parolei
prisoners have been passing through to their
homes in Georgia, Alabama and elsewhere. They
represent prison life as miserable in the extreme,
but-all the hardships and privations have not di-
minishcd their devotion to the cause of their
try. This is encouraging, and at thesamc time
contains stern rebukc to the croakers and des-
ponding at home. Many of these prisoners have
been incarceratcd for two yeers, subsistthg upon

Horrible Murdor.

1t is cur duty to chronicle the particulars of q
iliost appalling act, which, uudr dire necessity,
we have been compelled to commit. Afew nights
ago, upon returningyso our bachelor domicile at a
late hour, we discovered, BY the dimligbt emitted
from IN inferior alow candle, that oui cha9l.
beg had been invaded in our absence, and there
was evidence that the intruder was yet there. To
our amazement and horror, thsinterloptf stood,
in crouching attitude, in one corner Of the room,
armed to the very teeth. His seeming disposition
to give battle induced us to;act promptly. 1t was
a moment of terrible suspense, and the cxigency
admitted CT no delay. We had no deadly weapon
whcrcwith TO confront the individual, and. de-
mand an explanation of his unwarrantable in
trusion. His attitude and, general demeanor[ de-
noted hostile intentions, and quick as thought
wc made at him with our crutch, but rnfor-
tunately missed him. It. was obvious that he
would attempt to gain the door and make his exit
unharmed and unmolcstcd. Losing no time where-
by he might obtain the advantage, we assaulted him
the second time with the cruch,,an was more sue
cessful, inAicting severe blow upon n vulnerable
portion of his person and bringing him PROSTATE
before us. Being SO exasperated and enraged at
the moment, .thatit was impossible to control our
heated passions, and though, our adversary LAY
PROSTATE and bleeding we Anycd him with the
crutch until life was extinct AMI then kicked him
outside the room. Tous he was an entire stranger,
but we have for some time suspected that he was
clandestincly operating upon certain yaluables in
our room, andihough justifable in one sense for
taking hislifc we acknowledge to malice prepense
in the affair. His name, We have ascertained, is
A. BIGaa RATE. His friends can be further in
