= - Mr.. George Williams, shipping-master, ha.
called upon us and states that he shipped the crew
for the bark .lIGunG Loa. This is the second party
who claims TO have shipped that crew; but this one
being a licensed shipping-master, fears that our re-
marks touching the matter may do him an injury.
We can only say that a personal acquaintance of
several years, and the reputation always given him
by those who have had occasion for his services,
leads us to believe that his dealings with masters and
seamen are honestly conducted.

= ANOTHER FAILURE.-Wc have again TO record the
failure of Mr.. +. Horn, confectioner. Should Mr..
Horn determine to withdraw from this branch of
business, our residents would miss his establishment.
For many years our city was without a professional
confectionery, and the want was not felt; but having
become used to the luxury it will doubtless be in
copvenient to do without it.

4 SIGHT WORTH SEEISG.-We are told that the

Who KILLED YANCEY?-A correspond
cnt in Harrisonburg, Virginia, writes 4:
A few days ago overheard II CONVERSE
ton in relation to the death Of VIM. l..
Yancry of South Carolina, which goes
to owe an assertion | have previously
heard, namely, that he vas killed by
Hill Of Georgia. One Of the speakers
said he was intimately acquainted with
II man named Shankes, n stenographer
who reported the proceedings of the
rebel congress. Un one occasion
Shankes came to his house intoxicated,
and said he had the notes Of the pro.
cecdings of the rebel congress, and
meant shortly TO publish them in II
book, when some startling development,
would he made. Being asked about the
death of iancey, he declined to answer
on the ground that it would i%njure the
sale of his book, "but," he said, "whcn
the proceedings of the secret, session arc
published, you will know all about. il (;
and I will now say that he did not die II
natural death" The reporter died II
few weeks later of dslirium tremcns, and
the book was never published. Another
gentleman now said lie kner Innccy was
killed by Hill, having been acquainted
with n member of the Congress who was
present, and who told him in confidence
all about it. The affair occurred during
the exciting session held in reference to
the proposition mada by Mr.. Lincoln to
the Pesce Commissioners in Hampton
Roads. Hill and Yauccy got into II per-
sonml dispute, during which Hill struck
Yanccy IL blow which evidently re-
suited in his death. I I'm fully satisfied
that this is the truth of this disputed
question.

that the 3oth Of May is the day set apart
for the decoration Of the graves Of the
brave mon who died in defense Of the
Union. 1t is Intended that this cere-
mony shall continue to be observed each
year by the living comrades Of our dead
heroes /; and what could be more proper
or touching than the annual bestowal Of
this honor upon tho graves and this tcs-
timony to the memories Of those who
v their lives that our country and its
free institutions might live? They died
that we might live IN the enjoyment Of
all tho rights that come to US through
the Government Of an undivided Union,
and but for their noble sacrifice all the
pride that we now feel in ~proclaiming
ourselves citizens Of the United States
would be denied u, for, with a broken
Union, we would. as a nation, have
stood among the inferior governments
of the earth.
