Death of Rev. Robert w. Lambuth.


It is with much pain that we record
the death of the Rev. r. W. Lambuth,
which occurred on Tuesday night
last, at the residence of Mrs. Chandler
Eord, in this county, after an illness
of eight hours.
Mr.. Lambuth preached in the M. E.
Church, in this place, on Sunday last.
He left here on Monday, apparently
in his usual health, but before reach
ing home was taken sick of cholera,
stopped at Mrs. Ford's, and died as
above stated. A good man has fallen.
Mr.. Lambuth was noted for his zeal
as a christian minister, and distin-
guished Tor his earnest piety. But
the Office of eulogist is not ours-his
obituary will be written by one who
knew him better, and who is more
capable of approaching his great
worth.

CLERICAL YILLAINY.

The Southern Christian Advocate
learns from highly estimable preacher
in Georgia, that an emissary OF the
Northern Methodist Church has recent
ly issued an I" Address to the Methodists
of Middle Georgia" in which he seeks
to make the impression that " the NJ. E.
Church South is responsible for the
present state of things at the South in
Georgia, and that so long as you (the
loyal Methodists) remain connected
with that Church, Congress win consider
you disleyal to the Union, and will en-
act oppressive measures; but that,
should every Methodist in Georgia
abandon the Church, South, and unite
with the Church, North, peace and quiet,
security and Union will be attained"

We once knew a man to struggle for
years to color particularly obstinate
meerschaum pipe. He smoked inces-
sanity. He tried all the different kinds
of tobacco, put button in it, boiled it in
tobacco juice, but all to no avail. 1t
wouldn't color. He grew morose and
sour, shut himself up, and smoked, and
smoked, and smoked, muttering savag ely
from between his clenched teeth
"Color say. DIN ye, I'll color
We I" He gave up all business, and de.
voted himself wholly to smoking, oe-
termined, as he said, to color that pipe
or die in the attempt. One day he failed
to make his appearance at breakfast.
His room was opened, and there he sat
in his chair, dead, the fatal meerschaum
clutched tightly between his teeth. The
meerschaum was as white as when it
FIRST emerged, Venus like, from the foam
of the sea, but the man was turned q
rich, dark brown. The meerschaum had
colored him Cleveland Plaindealer.

Ko5sulh still resides in Turin. He
has grown prematnrely old, and bears in
his person the marks of the cruel disap-
pointments and vicissitudes which have
marked his life. His hair and beard,
which many will remember as glossy
black, have been for several years as
white as silver his form, once go
erect, is bowed with grief and suffering,
and profound melancholy, since the
death of his wife, with whom he buried
all his hopes, marks his whole demeanor.
But his voice is still soft and sweet, and
his eye still beams with that sad and
tender light which gavs so much of its
wonderful beauty to his face, He is
poor, powerless and alone.

The voices of many persons singing a
mournful requiem, and shadows were
seen to glide by in slow procession. A
gentleman residing on the hill heard and
saw these strange noises and sights one
night, and his hair did stand on end.
The next night he called in his neighbors,
and the neighbors also saw and heard
the strange sights and sounds; their
hair did likewise stand on end. For
many nights they watched-and for
many nights did the same sounds come
wailing on the midnight air-and their
particular hairs for many nights did
continue to stand on end. But on Tues
day night they listened in vain. The
sounds disturbed not the silent air, and
the phantom host came not. The ghostly
minstrels had evidently gone back
whence they came. But I'VE viii keep

ENTERPRIsE.

The enterprise of New York may be
estimated by proposition made to the
Legislature of that State, which contem-
plates the laying of pipe all the way from
the mineral springs at Saratoga to New
York city, to supply the latter place with
mineral water, for which Saratoga has
become so famous. 1t is estimated that
the work can be done for 81, zoe, 900, and
a company is ready to invest that much
or more, if needed, to 60 into the enter
prise. The proposed corporators are
among the wealthy men of the State.

ADMIRAL sIMMHs.

Admiral Semmes, once the renowned
commander of the Alabama, and at this
time the editor Of the Memphis Bulletin,
will favor the public Of Memphis to- night
with lecture on the cruise Of that yes
sci. The nautical reputation Of Admiral
Semmes is unsurpassed by that OF any
man in history. If, under his command,
the Alabama was not the mistress Of
the sea-, she was certainly the scourge
of the ocean. 1t compelled the commerce
Of the North to seek foreign bottoms and
the protection of foreign flags Vessels
that had gone out laden with the rich
products of all countries, and confident
of rich returns, came home with dropping
banners and empty bulls, or went down
to the bottom Of the ocean. Dismay over
spread the North, and drove the Navy
Department to desperation. Expedition
after expedition was organized to catch
the daring vessel, but all to no pur-
pose. When she was supposed to
be in European waters, she was
sweeping along the American coast like
hurricane. We of the South all
remember with strange vividness how
the story of the achievements of the
Alabama thrilled us. We often heard
the exclamation 20 for a thousand
Alabamas p Semmes was classed with
Lee, Johnston and Jackson. Every ma
ton honored his genius and daring, if
it did not sympathize with the cause
for which he fought This peerless ma.
val commander may be seen upon our
streets every day, and those who honor
him as one of the Souths chief orna-
ments, jostle him without knowing in
whose presence they are. Tonight he
may be seen, and heard, and known.
