I'm Memoriam.- Z.

The sad and sudden demise, on the Goth ult
of the late lamented Theophilus c. LitteI, has
cast deep gloom upon our community and a
mountain-weight of sorrow upon the hearts of his
immediate relations and friends One SO uni
versally regretted, must surely have endeared
himself IN a special manner to all-Kind and
concllating IN his intercourse with strangers and
acquaintanees, warm and genial toward his daily
associates, loving and devoted as q friend and
relation; scrupulously just and upright in all his
dealings-he enjoyed the respect, esteem and
admiration of every one Indeed, ito know him,
was to love him."
In the public and private trusts which had
been confided to his care particularly during the
late unfortunate struggle, he exhibited system,
readiness, punctuality, a high order of ability
and the most perfect urbanity and complaisance
to all.
As practical planter, to which he devoted his
earlier manhood, he had few equals Gifted
with superior order of mind and highly cult
waited, he might easily, and with success, have
hlied the highest appointments, from disinter-
esaed love OF country, but for the modest and
unoDtrusive character which was peculiarly his.
Alas In this dark vale of tears, to part with
one so pure, SO devoted, and it might be said al
most so Indispensable to the well-being and han
piness of others, is painful in the extreme. But
with bowed heads, though aching hearts, and
unfaltering trust, let us say with our beloved
THEo, from the moment he was prostrated on
the bed OF death-"God's holy viii be done"-
thus passing away in perfect submission to the
divine behest. Peace, eternal peace to his nure
and gentle spirit!

The COTTON TAx-We have received from a
CINCINNATI commercial house, Messers Addy
Hull & Co., circular memorial to Congress for
the repeal of the cotton Tax, which they request
us to have as numerously signed as possible and
return it to them for transmission to that body
when it meets.
Without going deeply into the merits of the
case, it strikes us at once that what may be a
good thing for Messers Addy, Hull g. Co., and
their fellow citizens of the West cannot be quite
so advantageous to us down South, and in fact.
according to our ideas it would be better for us
all if the cotton tax were 10 instead of 2 cents,
then we would be forced into, what nothing short
OF necessity will ever force the majority OF South
ern farmers into, the cultivation of something
else besides cotton, as a revenue, and means of
support.

RATHER SIGNFIcANT.-New Orleans papers of
last Saturday contained an order of General
Mower, Commander ad interim of the 5th Mill
tary District, removing Gen. Harry T. Hays from
the office of Sheriff of the Parish of Orleans, and
appointing Cuthbert Bullitt Esq, in his place
Wen, we had sigh for our old friend, which,
however, was changed into shout, by the an
nouncement in Wednesday papers that Mr.. Bull
lit, as the gentleman that he is refused to profit
by the undeserved persecution of friend, and
declined the office; and we presume no one
in the Radical party of New Orleans was thought
worthy, Gen. Hays holds on. 1t smells strong
of New York, don't it I?
