Obituary..
(From the Southern Christian Advocated

(From the Southern Christian Advocate.)
MRS. MARY BROWN, wife of Judge S. B. Brown,
died in Fort Valley, August 18th, after painful
atflction of several years, which she bore with
Christian fortitude and resignation.
She was member of the Presbyterian Church,
and was an honor to the cause she long since es-
pou sed. She was resident of Stanton Virginia.
and her home was in her native State, until the
removal of the family to Georgia, during the re-
cent war, and although she has been in our com
munity but few years, yet, by her gentleness,
kindness, intelligence and Christian department,
made many warm friends, who sincerely mourn
her loss, and also deeply sympathlze with her be-
reayed husband and family. Her example and
precept must ever be remem bered by her surY1y-
Ing family with pride and mournful pleasure We
doubt not, the grateful affection that her sons
eynced for lille in life will ever live in their
hearts, and should they ever be tempted to go astay
we trust they will remember her gentle hand upon
their head, as in days past, and hear her loving
voice saying, sNIy son walk not in the way OF evil
men," And her daughters who idolized her, al
though they can no more go to her for counsel and
advice, as to no other friend, will remember her
uuceasing tenderness and admonltlon from child
hood to maturer years. as a sacred treasure" and
feel that her pure spirit will hover around them
in the form OF guardian angel through life, and
be comforted. 'sShe is not dead but sleepeth p
her loved ones may go to her where lingering dis
ease, pain ard parting, will be felt and feared no
more,

INTEREST ON THE STATE DEBT. We pub
lish this morning an extract from letter
written by the acting executive Of Virginia
to lady Of Norfolk, in regard to the payment
of the interest on the State debt From this
opinion, it seems to be expected that the in
tterest due next January will be promptly
paid, but that the past-due interest will not
be paid unless a new tax levy is made, of
which we presume there is little prospect.
In the absence of any Legislature the levy
can only be ordered by Gen. Stoneman,
and there is no evidence of his inclination
to do it -E,ouirey.

A reliable friend of ours in this city b;

A reliable friend of ours in this city had a
a remarkable election dream a few nights
ago, in which he dreamed that the Presi-
dental election had just closed, and that
New York had voted for Seymour and Blair
by precisely 36. 400 majority Pennsylvania
by 2, 800; and Ohio by 4, 800. He thought
he saw these figures distinctly marked in the
telegraphie summary, and could hear the
shouts of the rejoicing bystanders as they
exulted over the election of the Democratic
ticket. The dream is most curious from the
fact that the figures suit the present aspect
of the result in the three mentioned -

A difficulty occurred between Mr.. Geo. Glass
and Mr. Poague, recently of Alabama, who were
engaged at work on the Fair Grounds on Friday
last resulting in the stabbng Of Mr.. Glass. The
knife entered the chest near the heart, and but for
striking rib and glancng would have produced
instant death. AS it was very severe wound
was inflicted, but DR.. Harris, who dressed the
wound, thinks while dangerous it will not neces-
sarily prove fatal.
Poague was arrested and tried before Justice
Sterrett, who bound him to appear for trial at the
November court in the sum of 5000. In default
of the security required he committed to jail.
