FUNERAL OBsEoUIEs.-On Saturday afternoon
the relatives, friends and associates Of the lato
Rev. GEORGE w. MoonE of this city, met at Bethel
Church to offer last mark of respect to his
memory. Mr.. MOORE was q minister Of the M. E.
Church South for upwards of forty years, respect
~ ap1 h1ro lxvl,o lrpau
and laborlbus life Of usefulness, ho was called
away whilc in the active discharge of his ministry
In August, 1863, at Providence camp meeting in
Orangeburg District he died while on his knees in
the pulpit-ft close of such q life. His remains
were brought to tho city and inferred in the
preachers burying ground, close to the northwest
corner of Bethel Church. The Rev. Mr.. MEYNAR-
DIE conducted tho services on tho occasion.
THE STEAMSHIP K1NaFIsHER.-We are still with
out any information in reference to this steamship
which has been duo here from Baltimore since
Tuesday last. We notice, in Baltimore paper,
that she was spoken off Cape Henry on Sunday,
the 18th instant, which is the last reliable news
which has been heard in regard to her. Whatever
accident has taken place occurred after she left
the capes Of tho Chesapeake. She had on board n
full cargo; but as she was not regularly fitted ND
for passengers it is thought that she did not have
mdny on board. 1t is yet hoped that the difficulty
may have been confined to her machinery, and as
she carries but little canvas, she may have got of
into the Gulf Stream and finds @ difficulty in
making the land. In case of q more serious acci-
dent, her boats should have been ample to rescue
her crow, officers, &c.
