The LATE JOSEPH DAVIS, OF NI1ss1s-
slrr1. Our cotemporary, the New Or
leans Times, announces. in eulogistic
terms, the death of this gentleman, the
brother of ex-President Davis. He died
in the eighty-seventh year of his age
He was q man Of marked character, and
exerted great influence in his native
State. It is said that the ties that bound
the brothers together were peculiarly and
touchingly strong.
An infantry company, (white,) from
Chcster-Capt. Mills-has been tender
ed to the Governor, who wants time to
consider. A cavalry company, (whitc, J
Capt. Walker-has been accepted.
This company is also from Chester.
We learn, also, of white company
from Edgefield being accepted, but the
Governor has no arms for them. Tho

We regret to announce that the inju-
ries received by Captain Bccklam on
Monday last, by his horse running away,
has resulted in his death. Captain Beck
ham was Que of our most successful
planters; n man of high character, and q
useful citizen, such On ono as we can
lilly afford to lose at this time. He was
one of the original partners in the large
dry goods business of Mr.. Robert Shiver,
and half brother of that gentleman.
We join his many friends in rendering
to tho family our heartfelt sympathies
Dr. Crane has been lccturing for seve-
rul nights at Nckerson's Hall. Tho Doc
tor states that he has long been cndea-
voring to find the man who knows moro
than himself with regard to man in all
of his relations. "No pcnt-up Utica
contracts his powers, bnt the whole
field of knowledge is his. In his lee
ture, the Doctor passes over q vast range
Of subjects. In his chronological dcvc-
lopments, it seemed to us that the lee
turer's forte lay in general propositions
rather than in specific points. The Doc
tors system of treating diseases is by
inhalation.
