NRITUARY.

Died, on the morning of 2lst inst, MAMIE c..
second daughter of Col. Granville C. and Mar
tina L. Torbett.
Mamie went Town to the grave in the morn
ing of life, being between seevnteen and eigh-
teen years of age. In her death we are again
called on to witness the mysterious providence,
that the all-wise Being early removes to Him.
lfmany of the fairest and most shining of His
intellectual creation. Mamie was possessed of
a clear strong and discriminating mind. She
had cultivated this great gift By the most assid-
uous application. She was afectiOnate and
frank in her Dispositions stranger to insineer-
ity OF ccncealment. Though so young in years,
her mann ers had that easy, graceful and digni-
fed polish which commands alike love. respect
AMI esteem. She was devoid of vanity. and
seemed unconscious of being the possessOr OF
those varied and rare accomplishments.
Mamie had that which the world can neither
give nor take away-she was a Christian. L
was mournful to see such lovely one go down
to the grave in the very morning of life, but how
copsoling to witness the, calm and unshnk en-
faith and confidence which marked her dying
hours. Death was disarmed of ali terror.
She is gone May the father, mother, grand
ina, sister and brother, whom she loved with
such an intense devotion "a to manifest 1t even
when the power OF speech was gone, find eonso-
lation for the great bereavement they have sus-
tained q.

TERRIFIC SToRM.-The most terrible
storm that has been experienced for ten
years, in this latitude, visited our city about
7 O'Clock last light, and ragged fiercely for
couple of hours. The storm arose from
the southwest in which course heavy clouds
we're banked and piled over the horizon
early in the evening. By seven o'clock the
storm had gathered its full strength, and
burst furiously upon us. The vivid tighten
ing flashed wildly painting hell on the sky,
and the thunder rolled its vOlleying
artillery through the heavens, shaking the
crock ribbed" hills and making the houses
| tremble to their foundations. The wind
! blew perfect hurricane as in wild and
fitful guests itswept things before IT. Chin
neys were blown down, blinds and shutters
were hurled 10 the sidewalks. The awful
powers of the elements were fully illns-
trated, and people looked almost terror
stricken upon each other for the time. The
very windows Of Heaven seemed open and
the rain poured in sheets and torrents.
We have heard Of no accident as yet,
though no doubt there were many during
the storm.

NrssRs. EDroRs: While read with
deem interest the remarks Of your paper in
relation 10 Gen. Lees college, and appre-
ciate heartily all the merits of that noble
institution, | do feel with You, that Ten
nessee has a home interest that mnst not,
dare not be forgotten.
With not one word of disparagement
about any other interest, |, ask the atten-
ton of your readers to the claims OF Cum
berland University.
Proudly il points TO its past history. Its
noble alumni have done honor to all the
States Of the country. Records left by
such men as Robert Hatton, speak for
Tennessee.
The lirst rallying cry cf literature after
the war, was raised over the ruins Of the
University building; faculty, which
newspapers in ten different States pro-
nounced the ablest in the South, was or
ganized students from about all the South
ern States, from some Of the territories, are
now in the institution.
Gen. Stewart, the brave, tried and true
man, always faithful, always able, is teach
ing mathematics. DIR. Stafford ia hard at
work in the laboratory; and We have ai-
firmed that, for laborious and able instruc-
lion. we would not, in the present con-
dition of Southern schools, exchange SAT
ford for Sillman.
DR.. Beard, while at Princeton, n.y. was
looked upon "a the best Greek scholar an
the country. He Ia highly appreciated by
DIR. Scott, Of New York, DR.. Copp, of Boa-
ton, Dr. Sprague, Of New York, and many
learned men over the whole country.
The acquisition Of Prof. Holden TO the
Faculty is Of great value. Educated in
the best colleges Of Germany, France and
America familiar with the colleges Of the
world; speaking the languages Of Germany
and France as vernaculars, he is able e
advance pupils in modern languages surely
and rapidly.
