Gen Stephen Elliott.

For the. first time we pen, that name with
other feelings than those Of pride ard pleasure
Alas !! that gallant soldier, noble gentleman
patriot citizen, pure, lofty earnest man ls no q
more.
It is true, that young as he was lie had added
undying lustre to an historic name, and stamp
ed lis deeds in The records offirts country yet
Oh how much OF unfulfilled promise there Is
in SO noble life so carly en'led. With all tho
strength Of his earnest naturs he was thorough.
" identified with the late war from the first
bugle>blass to the last gun, aud while time
shall Inst "Iort Sumter" .,and its heroic COM
mandcr, will ho- remembered, .for--he soughs IL
down to the water line and stood amid its ruins
as unmovcd as its rock foundation. = -
High rs were his position and fame as sol.
dhr. it B' MS true, earnest mnn-as pure
lofty gentleman that we loved him living and
mourn him dead. Cur heart is too full, to
sad for uttcrance; but W. cannot foreear to
comment upon the fact that while the South
had no one moro prompt, active anil devoted
during llic war, there was no one whose inteili-
.geucc, nerve, good practical senss and true ap-
probation of mnrnanimity prompted more
hearty and cheerful ncquiesence in the result
or more grateful approval OF President JoHS-
SONS policy. lie set as high an example on
tie return of peace as he dill in tho battered
fort or on the bloody field. He stopped not to
mourn over wrecked hopes and wasted fortune,
but cLeerfully ickled on his armor iorrc-
newed battle with the world. His peculiarly
practical abilities recommended him to the
South Carolina Railroad Company for oil i'm
portant appointment and he had just removed
to Aiken to take charge of his department on
the Augusta Branch, when lie was summoned
TO higher fields of duty and existence.
For the last four years the Rev. STEPHEN
ELLIOTT, tho father of Gen: ELLIOTT, and all
the members of the family, have been cherished
members this community. We therefore
claim the privilege Of saying how deeply we
are oil saddened by this mourufnl intelligence,
and beg TO tender our sincere and sorrowing
sympathy -, :.

Who'd Pay for Ye?

:. A Yorkshire farmer called at the
house Of lawyer to consult him profess
sionally. ,I
:, as t. squcer at home 7" he inquired Of
the lawycr'slady, who opened the door
to his summons. - ...-..-.
I, He was answered negatively. Disap-
pointment shone in his face; but after
moments consideration thought re.
lieved linn
"Mebby yourself can gi' me the pcccs.
sary information, as well as t squeer,
seen as yc'rc his wifei"
The kind lady readily promised to DO
so, if, on learning the nature of bis diff
Guilty she found it in her power: and
the other proceeded to state the case as
follows: ...
"Spoaze We wur an old white NEAR,
and l should borrow yc togo gwang to
mill, with grist on yer back, and we
should get no farder than Sarir Hill,
when all at once ye should back up, and
rear up, and pitch and knecl down back

who'd pay for yes Not I, Learned me if

-. The lady smilingly told him, as she
closed the door, that as he had himself
passed sentence on the case, advice
would be entirely supeIfuous.

AN ARTIFICIAL Snow ,SToRM.-The
intensity Of the cold in New. York, Nom
day morning was demonstrated BY very
singular phenomenon. 1t was a snow
storm formed by steam. AT the Fulton
Ferry>bouse, pipe Of. the heating ap,
paratus carried the exhausted steam into
the ait; the end of the pipe pointed up
ward, and. the force with which the steam
.issued caused it to ascend thirty or forty
feet: While in the air it was not only
.-aoudensed, but CONCEALED, and came
down in beautiful, fakes of snow. A
somewhat similar instance was recently
to have: occurred at a ballroom
in Russia.

Among those present in the House to-day to
witness the proceedings on the veto message
were the Governors of Pennsylvania, Virgin
ia and Missouri, and large representation Of
U. S. Senators. be fllf FsaE
Owing to the seconding of the demand for
the previous question, which cut off all debate,
several OF the opposition members commenced
making diliatory motions, but soon abandoned
this system of tactics and left the majority to
consummate their work. ,ps
During the proceedings there was a loud
and continuous hum of voices all over the hall,
so that even the strong and distinct voice Of
DIR. Mahoffy, one of the clerks, could not be
heard. The excited Representatives and those
who had the privilege of the floor were there
