DEPARTED this life, on the 11th Of August last,
at Gilmer, sDesota Parish, La, EBBY BUTLER,
son of 1t. PIERCE NJ. and.KArE BUTLER, late of
Edgcfeld,- aged three years and months-after
o very short illness of Congestion of the Brain.
The grief Of kind parents and doating grand
parents no tongue can tell
But you must remember, kind friends, God doeth

.DiEp, at his residence, in this District on the
10Th August, after short but severe illness, Maj.
JOHN W. MUNDY, in the 53rd year of his age.
The deceased left wife, son, and amiable
daughter, to mourn their loss, which though great
at any time is certainly moro seriously felt by
them whilst our suffering country is passing
through on unparalleled ordeal
The death of Maj. MUNDY is not only aserious
loss to his immediate family, but it will be.re-
preted by the vicinity in which he lived, for he
was ever ready and willing to his neighbours

auired. He was for many years u member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, though perhaps q
more regular attendant of the Baptist Church ut
Antioch than any other, owing, We suppose, to its
proximity to him, always seeming to manifest on
nterestin that Church.
He was apprised of his approaching dissolution
by his physician, which seemed not to alarm him
in the least, though quite rational up to within
few hours Of hi, death. The writer of this notice
has known him intimately for above twenty years,
and 10 say that,he was faultless would be untrue,
for none can be so whilst in the flesh; hehowever
possessed as few faults perhaps as most men. And
wo have reasons to believe that he died trusting
in the merits of our Saviour, and with the hope
of blessed immortality beyond the grave.

DIED, on the 5th June, 1865, by the cruel hand
of violence, in the Village of WilIiston, S. c.,
JOHN A. ADDISON, aged about 81 yeara.
Possessed. of superior natural talents, though
not highly cultivated; of great industry and en-
srgy; kind and generous to those around him,
his death falls not only with crushing force upon
his family, but with sadness upon his friends in
general, and his neighbors in particular.
When dependency has seized upon so many,
and unusual cxertions are so necessary when
pecuniary despair and political gloom haye thrown
thor dark shadows over oil, we can but poorly
spare one, who like the deceased rose above these
difficulties, and gave to those around glorious
example of the fervor of an unconquerablo will,
and determination never to yield to adverse cir
cumstances. Let others appreciate his vim of
character, arouse themselves from their stupor,
buckle on their armor, and with firm step and
undaunted courage, move forward toward the'ac-
complishment of their purposcs-trusting that
what is best will come from favoriug Heaven.
Stricken down in the prime of noble manhood,
and in the full enjoyment of his faculties; cut of
from kindred and friends, the only consolation
that spring. up from the desolate hearth Of
his family, and cheers its saddened inmates, is
the triumphant hope of Heaven-based upon the
repeated expressions Of preparationfor hereafter,
made by the deceased, in crtremis.
May those for whom-he felt regret at leaving,
never bo discouraged, OF experience unkindness.
Peace be to his ashes; felicity everlasting to his
soul.
