conhscation to a general partition; from farms

from free farms to freedom from taxation
and especially from an enormous taxation to
pay an untsxed debt that was swelled by
scandalous frauds and peculations, and crsa-

WE are called upon this morning to an
nounce the death of. the loved wife of our
cherished friend, Colonel J.. H. H.rMcMAnos.
Death has entered his household and swept
from bis side the companion Of his honorable
and hopored life-that gentle being whose
Christian heart has made her existence a page
without blemish. 1t is natural, In the
course of time, to follow TO the tomb those
who have guided the footsteps Of our youth
-those who haye opened up the way, BY
precspt and example, to the noble aims for
which we were created; but II is q heartfelt
sadness to bear the rumble Of the unfeelpg
clod a. II presses its eternal wright upon the
crpmhling remains of those who stand be-
tween Us and the days Of the past, II brings
home to us the terrible truth that we, too,
must follow, down the "coorridors of time,'
10 the same dark and silent abode, whatever
the relations we may have to the presept--
With. Us, Of the unfortunate South, these two
old people-landmarks of tho early SETTLE
ment Of our Bluff-one living, the other dead
stand peculiarly dear. When the tide Of
revolution swept across our horizon, the sill
seen amidst the soldiery of our cause, and
there they glistened until the hour In which
our chiefs, LEE and JoHssroS, sheathed the
sword and said let peacs come again over our
homes and our zelda. THE to US In youth,
true to us In prosperity, true to US in the dark
hours Of war, We can not see one Of them
stricken down by the shafts of death without
a tear, sad and mounful springing TO the eye
lids. And If weeping could temper the blow
to our aged friend, not one pang should pain

THE BREAkERs AHEAD.

That there are deep seated apprehensions
Of danger 10 the commercial and financial
interests Of the country no one will deny
who has been an attentive observer Of the
march Of events during the past year. The
Boston Herald, in the course Of an able arti-
Gle upon the present condition Of the coun-
try, says:
We are In great danger. The expenses Of
the country are greater than It can safely
bear. The machinery now employed BY the
government including the military govern
ment Of the South, the freedmans bureau,
the army Of tax gatherers, and the numerous
lother expedients for spending money, is four
times as extensive and costly az 1t was be fore
tho war. We do not feel IL when we ara

In PROSTATE condition. Its vitality has been
sapped by taxation. The South is not only
kept bankrupt, but actually starving. The
people everywhere arc suffering from the bur-
dens heaped upon them. Prices Of food, ol
rents, Of clothing, are increasing, and oul
taxes are growing higher every year. Our
local taxes are no exceptions. The State tar
for this Commonwealth amounts TO $1,000.

In June and July, 1855, Colonel VIM. B.
Stokes was running for Congress In this dis
trict against James r. Hood. Hood had been
advocating the admission Of negro testimony,
lin his paper, the Gazette, and In the State
Legislature, and had consequently became
unpopular with certain class Of loyal men
whose prejudices were stronger than their
reasoning faculties, of whom Stokes wss then
the exponent, as he Is now. The main argu-
ment by which he obtained bis election and
defeated Mr.. Hood, by Radical votes, was
something like this style. All through the

Craving no boon and NO blessing but you;
Prayed fcr ypu, plead for you, sought you in

Striving forever 10 6nd you again;
Counting all anguish as naught II Knight
Clasp you again as clasp Jon Tonight
Oh ! have sorroved and suffered 10 much
Since last answered your lips loving touch;
Through the uight-watches, in daylight's

Anguished BY visions and tortured by
Dreams 20 replete with bewildering pain,
Still it is throbbing in heart and in brain
Oh for ] dreamed-keep me close TO your

Darling, Obi darling---I drsamsd you had

Dreamed that I stood by your pillow. and

From your pale lips loves half uttered words
And by the light Of the May morning skis
Watched your face whitsn, and saw your
Gazing ia, into the Wonderful Land
Felt your fond fingers grow cold In my hand

Family, 60 family, and then you were dead
Oh the dark hours when I kuslt by your
T grave, .ppL cNr
Calling upon you to love and TO savei
Pleading In vain for sign or word,
Only to tell me you listened and heardI
Only TO say you remembered and knew
How all my soul was In anguish for you;
Bitter, despairing the tears that she'd
Darling, Oh darling, because you were dead
Oh the black days of your absence, my own

Wandered I, seeking for refuge and rest;
Yet all the world wW 20 careless and cold
Vsinly sought for sAeltering fold;
There was no roof and no home for my head
Darling, Obi darling, because you were dead
Yet, in the midst Of the darkness and pain
Darling, knew should find You agsini
Knew a the roses knew under the snow,
How the next summer would set them aglow
So did always, the dFesry days through,
Keep my heart single and sacred TO you,

Oh the great JOY Of awaking to know
