THAN PATTERSON. in the - wear of his age
Brother Patterson was worthy and consist
emf member Of the NJ. +. Church, South, to
which he was dovotcdly attached. though not
Srctarian. but liberal and christian in his
views and feelings toward all other branches
of the church. BY the church he was truly
beloved. and respected by all who knew him.
.eNcmplifying in his life the true spirit of his
Master, simple, earnest. devoted. llnostenta-
tious. bearing himself alike faithful in the
discharge Of all his duties-as Il citizen quiet
and obcdent. rs Il husband atfectionatr, as Il
father kind and indul@ent. His piety like that
of Daniels, was ever constant. uniform and
unchanging. He suffered much in the latter
part of his life. hut amidst his Affections he
ever recognized the hand of 4 bcnciiccnt Provi-
dcnce, enduring all with christian fOritudc
and submission. such was his disease that
he knew with it he must soon die. but death
had no terror for him, but he looked to it with
joyful anticipations, like Paul, as the hour of
his ''ctornal gain" and often spoke Of his will
liugneSs and even desire to depart and be with
Christ. Though for hours before his death
disease hushcd his voice. vet his exemplary
life leaves no one to doubt that he is ut rest.

gsvnThe Houston Times thinks the man.
ufactures Of the State Penitentiary have
been dead loss to the State, and thinks
that instead Of thet institution being en-
larged and its manufac turing capacities
increased, that latter might well and prof
itably be dispensed with. The Times ad-
vOcatcs the erection of two other Peniteu-
tiaries-ono at San Marcos or San An tonic
and another at of tiear Dallas. The Times
adds
The Stateis vastly too largo and
extensive to think Of getting along
with ono pcnitentiary. There should
bc at least three. The expense of
taking and guarding prisoners from
remote portions, Of the State to
Huntsville, far more than overbai-
ances all the good prisoners could
do the State if they should serve a
lifetime. W. s1a. -
There should be a pcnitentiary
on the San Marcos, Comal or San
Antonio, and another in the vicinity
of Dallas, leaving the present one
Just rs it is at Huntsville. Tho
State should be divided into pcni-
Tertiary districts; and the machin-
cry putinto the pcnitentiaries should
be adapted to the manufacture Of
such articles as are wanted and need
ed in the respective districts. II
should also be borne in mind what
particular kind of raw material for
manufacturing purposes is grown
in each district; and tho pcnitenti-
aries should be located with a view
to obtaining all kind of supplies at
low rates, and the readiest possible
sale for articles manufactured.
There is no good reason for haul
ing cotton and wool from San An
tonic and Dallas TO the coast and
then back again in q manufactured
state; to say nothing of water pow
ers, abundance of raw material and
cheap penitcntiary supplies of all
kind. rr
We-see no good reason for cfilarg-
ing the Huntsville penitcntiart; butt
on the contrary, many good reasons
for building one new prison in the
north and another in the west. II
no other reason would justify this
conclusion, humanity TO the priso-
ners would justify it, by placing
them beyond the reach Of yellow
fever. If necessity requires moro
rooms for prisoners, and more room
and machinery for manufacturing
purposes, ict a site for new pcni-
tentiary be selected, and let the ap-
preparation TO be made be expended
with prudence, economy wisdom
and honesty.
