DIED-At her fathers residence, i'll this District,
on the 2Sth ultimo, MARY JANE, eldest daugh-
ter and last one of the children of Andrew and M.
E. Haffner.
The deceased was married on the 4th OF OCTOBER
last, to Mr.. w. II. Abel, of Chester. About two
years ago, she made profession OF religion, and
connected herself with the Presbyterian Church,
at Bullock's Creek. Trained up by pious parents,
her life and conduct were graced with all that IS
beautiful and lovely in woman. Her native re-
servedncss veled many splendid qualities, whlch
intimacy only could discover. The high estima-
ton in which she was held by all who knew her,
is the best eulogy upon her excellent character
She was quite youth, Just past her 18th year.
Young in life, young in her public allegiance to
the cause of her Redeemer, young in the Joys ana
pleasures incident to a happy union i'll the mar
riage bond. Thus she seemed to be surrounded
with all that is necessary to make life attractive
Alas! how frequently are these allurements de-
ccptivc! But we rejoice to believe that she was
not BETRAYED by these eempty charms. With heart
imbued with the grace of God, she felt her Saviour
to be more precious to her than all earthly things.
The impression was made upon her mind, pre-
yious to her illness, that her life would be short
and at no tme during her sickness, was thiscon-
yiction withdrawn. When she was told that hope
was entertained that she might recover, she would
never allow herself, for moment, to cherish such
views. In fact, she frequently remarked to her
friends that she had no desire to live. She felt
that death was approaching and that it was her
duty to Weld to the will of her Heavenly Father.
Her sufferings were intense, and often would she
plead for her blessed Jesus to come, and take her
to himself, the cry was heard, and she fell asleep

The WASHINGTON MIssIoN.-The gentlemen
appointed by the Governor on the mission to Wash
ington, have all returned home. We are glad to
learn all of them speak hopefully Of the aspect Of
public affairs at least that the situation is not so
threatening as it has been, and that there is some
room to hope that the conference of Southern men
recently at Washington may result in an early set
tlement Of difficulties.
The intimations thrown out in the Washington
papers and by letter writer's that the late Confer
ences of Southern Governors and others with mem
bers of Congress and others, have evolved plan
of settlement, which has received the sanction Of
leading Republicans and Democrats and under
stood to be Nfavoraby thought of by the President
and portion of the Cabinet, we learn, may be re-
garded as correct In few days, the plan will
doubtless be made public.
We believe that the anxiety Of the people of the
South to put an end to the strife and the turmoil,
make them ready to yield to any reasonable de-
mand, and will lead them to throw no impediment
in the way of an honorable and reasonable adjust
ment of the difficulties between the North and
South. We are ready to give our sanction and sup
port to any arrangement that meets those condi-
tions.-Raleiigh (N C) Sentinel.

THE LESSON TAUGHT BY GEORGIA.

If South Carolina had taken the advice of John
@. Calhoun, and built continental railroad west
ward to Knoxville Charleston would have become
the great seaport of the Atlantic for the Southern
States What South Carolina lost by failing to
take the advice of the old man Calhoun, Georgia
gained by taking the advice of the young man Al
exander H. Stephens. Georgia became the en-
came the cauldron of politicians. 1t is a notable
fact that when a preacher, lawyer, or doctor,
fails in his profession he turns politician and keeps
his friends in stew until he dies. So when State
drops internal improvements and turns old togy,
we may expect tofnd political conservatism which
holds on to old things without learning new things.
So it was with South Carolina. Negecting the
advice of Calhoun, she hung on to dead theory
instead of reaching forward to live fact. She ar,
gued that Internal improvements by State would
under any circumstances ruin the people, and per-
sstenty shut her eyes to the fact that Boston with
her western railroad to Albany New York with her
Central Railroad and Canal, Baltimore with her
Ohio Road, Pennsylvania with her Pittsburg road,
and Georgia, with her State road, all proved that
State aid to railroads, under some circumstances,
would not only not ruin the people, but build up me-
tropolises and empires And so, South Carolina,
and perhaps Alabama, talked politics, whilst Geor-
gia dug dirt The result has been, what? Allan
ia, which was a wood station, when Montgomery
was town, is now city, whilst Montgomery IS
still town. By recent census Atlanta is found
to have population of &C, ,22S, being about 4 600
more than Montgomery How do you account for
the growth of Atlanta and the towns upon the
State Road which can, boast no natural advan-
tages? The solution Of the enigma stares us in
the face. Boston, New York, Baltimore, and eve
ry large western city, has solved it Its the com;
pletion, by State assistance Of great continental
railroad, connecting the seaport Of the State with
the great, living, aboring, throbbing heart of the
Northwest
Let the Legislature of Alabama see to it, that
what Calhoun saw in his old age, and what Alex.
Stephens saw in his youth-that wealth, enterprise
State stability and State independence, must draw
their sinews from the great West-may be made
the purpose of Alabama.-Iuontgonsery 4NaH

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, January 3O-It is intended by
the leaders of the majority in Congress to press,
within week or two, proposition tor another
constitutional amendment, which will render any
one President ineligible for second term. For the
last forty years since the close OF President
Monroe's administration President has dl-
reced the administration of his first term, to elec
tioneer for the second The Radicals are, however,
especially induced to establish the one term prncl-
ple by their quarrel with President Johnson, who,
as they allege, directed them only when he had
got the next Presidency of his brain. A PROPOSE
ton has also been made to extend the term from
four to six years This is complimentary to the
wisdom Of the trainers of the Constitution Of the
late Confederate States. But as there are so many
aspirants for the Presidency among the Radicals
it is not probable that this amendment will prevail.
They would rather shorten the term to twelve
months, so that in six years-as long time as
the reputation of any Of them will keep-there
may be six Presidents
The impeachment plan, if prosecuted, will, IN;
deed, require four Presidents between this day and
the beginning of the next Presidential term-to
wit-JohnsOn, the present incumbent, then W ade
or whosoever may be placed temporarily IN the OF,
flee during the impeachment next his successor
who is to be chosen the following December, : to1
the remainder of Johnson's term; and then the
President is to be elected in November, 1868, tor
the next term This will inaugurate the Mexican
policy and habit of frequent changes in the Execu-
tive Office. ~
The Radical journals take the defeat of Mr..
Stevens Reconstruction. or Destructive Bill very
coolly. and even speak with composure Of the prob
ablitv Of the final adoption of new and compar,
atiyeiy very liberal scheme hear, to-day, of an
entirely new change on the part of the Radical op

ANOTHER SNAKE SToRY.-The Vicksburg
Times, of the 10Th ult, is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
Some fatboatmen at MiGken's Bend, not long
since, saw on the bank long black snake, lazily
watching the gradually lengthening Of a ridge of
earth peculiar to thesubsoil navigation of the mole.
The little turnover emerged at the root of tree,
and the snake with one lunge captured and swal-
lowed him. The observers ofthis sad affair thought
it was all over with the poor mole, but nothing
daunted though perhaps unaware Of his perilous
situation, he kept on scratching until he came out
at the small end of the snake, who feeling sudden
ly that he had been cheated out of square meal,
turned and swallowed him again, with the same
result as before
The captain of the fatboat, in every respect a
reliable gentleman, informs us that this singular
contest was continued for eight hours, with no va
ration, except that the mole, as he became better
acquainted with the route, made faster time on his
trips.
Finally, the snake, completely disguised with the
mole, allowed it to 60 in peace, and dragging HIM
self to hickory tree, butted his brains out against
its roots. On being opened, the ''innards, from
end to end, were found to be as slick and smooth
as the inside of lady's thimble.

PROSPECTS IN ARKANsAs.-The Camden. Ark,
Eagle, of the 18TH says that town is overrun with
negroes The fact has drawn the attention OF ths
Red and Arkansas River planters, and under a
brisk competition the rate of wages has been ma
terially advanced. In fact it is now so high that
many fear that the uplands cannot be proftably
cultivated. The planters of the river bottoms may
make small margin of profit But the prospect
is sodiscouragng that the number of acres planted
will be smaller this year than ever before.
