Obituary.

| NICHOLAS LANIER WILLIAMS JR., aged % years
| and months, died at the residence of his father
| in Yadkin County, on Monday, 4th of Nov. at 1
O'Clock, A. M, after lingering illness of more
| than twelve months.
He was young lawyer of brilliant promise ;
| and had just entered the practice of his pro-
fession, with indications, that pointed to certain
and signal success, when he was claimed as vic
tim by that fatal disease, consumption. He bore
his long illness with patience and fortitude; and
died, surrounded by his sorrow-stricken parents,
without murmur or struggle
Firm, true, and devoted as a friend, manly, dig
nifed and honest as an opponent; affable, kind
and courteous in his bearing, he won the esteem
and admiration of all who knew him. He pos
sessed every quality of heart, soul and head which
makes the true man. Such combination OF
virtues, such absence of vices few can boast Of
1t is consolng to his family and friends to know,
he died u deyout christian. He had made pro-
fession of religion some months before his death,
and was entirely ready to bid adieu to earth and
all its trouble Ii
The sun may shine on until the end Of time,
but it will never shine nobler drawer, loftier
spirit than that which took its Hight from earth
to Heaven on Monday morning the 4th of Novem

We hear from a great number of Southern
sources the declaration that there is no show
whatever for the Constitutional Amendment
in any Southern State, because there is no
certainty and no belief that its adoption
would be regarded by Congress as .1fpazity
or as the last condition of reunion that will
be exacted from the South.-N Y Times
The Times gets its information from seces-
sion sources. The Southern leaders will not,
in any event, adopt the amendment If they
cannot return to the Union on their own
terms, with all the offices in their possession,
they will not return at ALL When they say
they are not sure Congress will not exact
more than the proposed amendment, they
mean merely to insult the Congress and to
offer pretext for not adopting the amend
ment. They have no confidence in, or re-
spect for the Congress. The Unionists of
the South do have confidence in, and do re-
spect the Congress. The Times is quitese-
we're on the Northern Democracy. What
does it think of their secession allies of the
