OBITUARY.

Died. at Gadsden, s. c.. on the 10Th day
of October, 1868. WILLIAM b. FLOWERS,
in the siSty-ninth year of his age.
We would be unjust to the memory of a
valued friend, and worthy man, did we not
give utterrance to our regret for his de-
parturc, and onr appreciation OF his
worth. William B. Flowers belonged to q
generation Of men now, alas, too rapidly
becoming extinct. All of his notions,
opinions and ideas, were imbibcd from
contact and association with the Carolina
gentlemen OF the old school. 1t was our
privilege to have known the deceased from
our earliest youth, and We do not hesitate
to say that ne never know any one whose
kindness and general good feeling to his
iollow-man were more disinterested and
consistent than were those attributes exhi-
6lted, ON all occasions, by William B.
Flowers. The community will unite with
us in according to our friend an innocent
and unoffending disposition, q warm and
generous heart, an honesty as undeviat-
inBly true as the ''needle to the pole;" and,
above all, conscience void of offence
toward men," His contentment and free
dom from coyetoushess were such that we
could truly say of him, he was "passing
rich with forty pounds year." In his
capacity as Railroad Agent, he gave uni
yersal satisfaction; for who could have
been harsh to dear old Flowera2 Who
does not now miss his benevolent face?
In parting with oGr old friend, who has
been gathered to his fathers in the fullness
Of three-score years and ten, we recall to
mind his many endeafing qualities, and
would eXpress tho general sentiment OF
tenderness for his memory by the ''kind-
hearted phrase" OF "poor PlowersI"

Now that Gen. Grant is elected
President for the next four years, has
begun the discussion as to whether
his words. ''let US have peace, are
to be carried out by acts that will
promptly inaugnrate that much-to

the olive branch be substituted for
the sword?" or will the harsh terms
embraced in the Reconstruction Acts
be adhered to? i

1t is said that the returning emf
grants to Ireland now amount to
one-third of the outgoing, and the
ratio is constantly, though slowly,
increasing. This is due mainly to
the increasing prosperity and ad-
vanced wages among the Irish peo-
pie, and theimosts hopeful friends of
Ireland look to the gradual equaliza-
tion OF wages on both sides of the
water to stop emigration altogether.
The United States are not likely,
however. ito feel the want of it, since
that from Germany is largely on the
increase. and the contemplated cs-
tablishment of steamship lines with
the Baltic ports will soon start an
other and entirely new emigration

A REMARKABLE SET.-Old farmer
Gruif was one morning tugging
away with all his might and main at
a barrel of apples, which he was en-
deavoring to get up the cellar stairs,
and calling at the top of his lungs
for one of his boys to lend helping
hand, but in vain.
When he had, after an infinite
amount of sweating and putting, ac-
complished his task, and just when
they were not needed, of course, the
boys made their appearance.
where have you been, and what
have you been about, I'd like to
know. that you could not hear me
call?" inquired the father, in an
angry tone, and addressing the
eldest.
"Out in the shop settin the SAW, -

"And you, sir?'

"And now, master Fred, where

youngest progeny, the asperity of his
temper being somewhat softened by
his amusing category of answers.
"Come, let's hear?"

piled the young hopeful, seriously.

from the Mazyck Street Hospital at

that the expenditures in South Caro-

subsistence stores issued to planters,
with o lien on their crops. Bonds
were taken from the planters for this
last amount, nearly or quite all of
which will be collected before New

rably good, and all who were indus
trious have now abundant means of
support. There is not much trouble
between employers and employed.

seemed that Mr.. Carpet -Baggcr was

PEELED Mrs. Bagger to cut her own
head off, aud hang it on hook in

keep still upon pain of instant death.
She happened to snecZe, and tho
leader of the dastardly crew immc
diately had thrashing machine set
up and run Mrs. Bagger through.
It's very doubtful if she rccovers.
Mr.. Bagger was then forced to swal-
low four tons of gunpowder and Il
handful of nitro-glycerine. He was
next dleted on live Goals until nm ex-
plosion took place. which subjected
Mr. Bagger to such intense pain as
to almost deprive him Of reason. The
fiends then shot him full of holes,
made him hurrah for Jefferson Davis
and Horace Greeley, and finally in

was threatened with instant death if
he revealed the names of any Of the
perpetrators of this outrage, all of
whom are neighbors of Mr.. Bagger,
and who hate him because Mr.. B.
was loyal sutler md cotton specula-
tor during the war, and now lives on
n confiscated plantation, with enough
nIggers to elect him to the I.egisla-

HAVE MODERN ARMS INCREASED
THE MORTALITY IN BArTLE?-The
Recistd Militur, of Lisbon, contends
that the pcrfecting of frc-arms, far
from increasing the mortality in bat
tie, has, on the contrary, diminished
it, and alleges the following instances:
At Austcrlitz the French lost Il per
cont, and the Austrians and Prus-
slams, respectively, X and 80 per
cent OF their soldiers. At Moscow
tho French loss WAS 81, while the
Russian loss was A per cent. At
Wagram the casualties were among
the French II, and among the Aus.
trians Il per cent. At Bauten the
French lost ID. the Russians and
Prussians IA per cent. At Waterloo
the losses of the Allies were 81, and
of the French Sc per cent. Then
comes the contrast. At Magenta the
French lost but per cent. of their
troops, and the Austrians' percentage
did not exceed s, while at Solferino
the losses of the combatants were 10
and per cent. 1T is hardly fair to
compare the battle of Murfreesboro
with those of regular armies, but
according to the report of General
Rosencranz, which caused some SIR
prise at the time it was published.
10000 discharges of cannon put only
72S men Aors 0e combat, and out OF
1000, 900 musket shots, no more than

cannon balls and $50 bullets, or
about 252 pounds of metal, to disable
each soldier.
