OBITUARY

DIED, at his residence in Edgefeld Dist. on TIE
18th of August last, PORTER J. CASWELL'
aged about 35 years. Mr.. CASWELL was q
nn,ivc of New Y"rk, and came to this State some
fourteen years ago.
In the late struggle for Southern Independence,
he warmly cspoused the cause of his adopted
State in feeling and action, and attached himself
as Engineer to one of the Monitors in the Con-
fedcrnto naval service and the performance OF
the arduous duties connected with that service,
probably caused the his life.
He was an industrious, perseyeIing, and ener-
getc man aad always devoted himself to the
interests of these in whose service be was en-
gagged, and for whom he acted; he was in every
sense u trust worthy man. Dut above all nc was
Christian, not only by profession, but in his
everyday walk, and in the discharge of those
duties tha; he owed to the Church and to his tel.
low men. He lived in peace with all men, and
wa, beloved and respected By his neighbours.
His illness was long and painful; and though
for away from his aged mother and brothers. it
may be consolation to them to be assured. that
he was most tenderly nursed and cured for by his
afactionate wife, and kind friends.
He has left behind him for the imitation Of
others, the bright example OF true Christian, a
devoted and affectionate husband, o good citizen,
and faithful friend.
"pear is the spot where Christians sleep,
Aud sweet tn, strain which angels pour;

They are not lost-but'gone before"

Pennsylyanin Elections.

AL Intelligent and well informed gentleman, Of
high position, a citizen Of the Keystone State,
in private letter addressed to the editor of the
Nashville Union aud Amcricun, under date Of the
llth, says,
"Geary's majority will be lrss than ten thou
sand, aud the Radicals will luse large amount ol
money. They bet largely on l5,OOC and 10000
majority for Geary. This is some consolation at
at least The Radicals carried the State last year
by 22lG0, so that We have gained at least l., 200
Votes.
"what tAo result will be, God only knows. The
RadicaI Congress at its neHt session will NO doubt
carry things with high hand; but do hope
and pray that President Johnson ISill have the
nerve to recognize tho Southern members, with
the Democracy of the North, as tho only loyal
and constitutional Congress. We rolled at the
last election about COZ, 600 votes, aad the resut
shows the parties are nearly equal. and if the
Radicals push things to extrenties, they will
suffer for their temelity, all that bitter war can
bring upon them"
