SAD News. - Yesterday morning Just
after Judge Richard Rising had opened
Court District Court he was handed tele-
gram conveying to him the sad intelligence OF
the death Of his brother, Rev. Franklin
B. Rising, pastor of St. Pauls Episcopal
Church, in this city, by drowning in the
Ohio River. The Judge at once adjourned
Court till Monday next, December II, at 10
O'Clock An. Ills supposed that the rev.
erend gentleman was drowned on the occa-
sion ofthe collision of the steamers America
and United States. The last year has been
a sad one indeed for Judge Rising, for dur
ing this time he has lost by death his father
mother and a sister and brother. Rev.
Franklin B. Rising was very highly es-
teemed in this city, and all his former par
ishioners and a host of friends and ac-
quaintances will sincerely mourn his un-
timely death. His labors in this city were
productive Of great and lasting good, and
will not soon be forgotten. Our citizens

moved to the Casa Aquila, in the Gale de

of the disease could not be traced to its
source, and its departure was sudden and

SHERMAN To GRANT.-Five years ago, OF
at the end of December, 1868, when the war
was raging in discouraging manner, and
the prospects Of its triumphant close were
anything but brilliant, Gen. Sherman made
a memorable prophecy about the part Gen.
Grant would be called upon to take in the
work of reconstruction, and in the restora-
ton Of the country to peace and prosperity
after the close of hos,ilities. To Gen. Grant
these words were written by Gen. Sherman:
Your reputation as General is now far
above that of any man living, and partisans
will maneuvre for your influence but, if you
can escape them, as you have hitherto done,
you will be more powerful for good than it is
possible TO measure. You said that you
were surprised at my assertion on this point,
but repeat that, from what have seen and
heard here, am more and more convinced
of the truth of what told you. Do as you
have heretofore done /; preserve plain mill
tary character, and let others maneuver as
they will, you will beat them, not only in
fame, but in doing good in the closing scenes
of this war, when somebody will heal and
mend up the breaches made by the war.
