THE HON. EDWARD FROST

Diedssfull of years and honors in the city of
Charleston on Tuesday, 2lst day of July, 1868
From his early manhood Judge Frost's career was
one of manly energy and great public spirit. AS
n lawyer, q legislator and as magistrate, all his
aots were characterized by single-hearted devotion
to honor, tho good of his country, and the impair
tial and dignifed administration of the law. As
President of the Blue Ridge Railroad Company,
he devoted (fOr many years) all his time, his
wonderful energy, and his clear, comprehensive
mind to that great enterprise, so vital, in his
Judgment, to tho interests of Charleston and the
State. No man of his generation has served his
country with greater zeal and purity. "Intcger
viise ,celerisgue purus" may well bo written on his
tomb.
But it was in his private relations that he was
specially to be ndmired-as son and brother, hus-
band, father, friend and master demanding and
obtaining the love and veneration of all who ap-
preached him. lie had boundess sympathy for
the joys or sorrows of all an intense apprccia-
ton of the merits Of others, just and dgniied,
vet modest self-respect. He was The bosom friend
and most valued companion, us well us The fnthcr
and ruler of his children. He was u kind and in
dulgcnt master, but firm withal an cncrprising
and successful planter, n devoted friend and neigh
bor Liberal education we'll directed study, and
simple pieiy had in him wrought their perfect
work, and he died as he had lived, an exalted
specimen of TINT noble type of man-ihc "Soufh
ern Christian gentleman" If il be lruc of Vir-
tue rs of Time, that 1--WE inkc no note of it but by
its loss" then may his death, the first and only
act which ever brought tear to human eye be
hut blessing in disguise. 1t is TIC only conso-
laton VIC can offer. z.

THE MEMBERS FRoM ANDERSON.

Up to this writing, TUESDAY morning,) we have
received no definite information in regard to the
contested election case from this District. Private
advices give us the assurance however, that the
Democrats will be unseated and tho election or
dered back to the people. Such result would
enable the white citizens Of this District to set the
seal of condemnation upon the Radical faction,
and return the Democratic members by an over
whelming majority. "Personne," the we'll in
formed correspondent of the Charleston Nsws,
writing from Columbia on last Friday, says:
The report of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections will be made to the Legislature on Mon
day next. Gen. MCGOWAN, of Abbevillc, yester-
day argued the case for three hours before the
committee in behalf of the Democrats. w. j.
Whipper, (colored,) counsel for the contestants,
spoke about two hours. The probability is that
the Democrats will be ousted

NEW BOOK.

s'7He Var Jet,ccen the Stctes, its Causes, cKarac-
ter, Conduct and Results" by Hon. ALEXANDER H.
STEPHENS, is tho title Of valuable work just is-
sued by THE NATIONAL PUBLISHING Co.. Atlanta,
Ga.
Histories of the late civil war have sprung up
like mushrooms, and they can now be numbered
almost by hundreds, but all who are desirous Of
arriving at correct understanding of the causes,
and clear history Of the events of the late lamen-
table war, have felt the want of reliable history
of the same from Southern standpoint, by some
representative man OF the South. This want IS
about to be supplied by ALEXANDER II. STEpHENs-.
Mr.. STEPHENS was most earnest protestant
against rebellion, and only succumbed at the last
moment, when his State, in spite of his warning,
committed the great error.
The hare announcement that this distinguished
statesman had determined TO write book, would
of ITSELF he sufficient to kindle lively and wide
spread interest in all sections of the country; but.
when 1t is known that he has chosen as his theme
the one so fruitful as the late American war, the
absorbing interest of the subject together with the
evident and singular fitness of the author for its
treamcnt, unite in awakening curiosity entirely
unparalleled in the annals of American literature.
1t presents careful political analysis of the:
past separating real from apparent causes of the
late unhappy conflict, and gives those interior
| lights and shadows of the Great War, only known
to those high officers, who watched the food tide
of Revolution from its fountain springs, and which
were so accessible to. Mr. STEPHENS from his posi-,
tion as second officer of the Confederacy.
To public that has been surfeited with appar-
emily similar productions. it presents change Of
fare both agreeable and salutary, and an intellec-
tual treat Of the highest order. Tile Great Ameri-
can War has at last found historian worthy of
its Importance and at whose hands it receives that
moderate, candid and Impartial treatment which
| truth and justice SO urgently demand.
