~ Rev. Stephen Elliott. father TO the
late heroic Gen. Elliott, died at Beaufort,
;. c., on the 18th, in the sixty-fourth
year Of his age. Mr.. Elliott, SAYS the
Charleston Ners, served as chaplain Of
the Beaufort artillery in the lombard
ment Of Fort Beauregard in 1861, and
afterwards Of the post at P~ocotaligo. The
last years Of his life were filled with cares
and trouble. lie saw Untimely graves
close over two beloved sons, and exile
and spoilation Of property were heavy
trials Of his old age. But afiiction and
worldly losses never for a moment les
sened the equanimity which was the
charm Of his character; and his brave
heart, though bowed with trouble, was
fun OF charity to mankind.
B1~ 4 story has been going the rounds
Of the radical press, says the New York
Herald, 10 the effect that before the pas
sage or the Freedmen's Bureau bill it
had been read to the President by Sena-
tor TrImbull in the presence Of Gen.
Howard, and that the President had then
agreed 10 il, and expressed his intention
70 sign ii. This whole story, so evil
IDENTIFY false on It's face, is simply a radi-
cal coinage, though the meaner portion
Of the radical press adheres 10 its fiction
spite % denial. The Herald is able TO
declare positively that Gen. Howard
never was present on any such occasion,
and that the President never told him
he would sign the bill.
