| OF life which may be Terminated when
least expected, yet such is the constitu-
tion OF mans nature, designed 80 for
good and wholesome purposes, that when
death summons from existence those who.
but short time before, we had met in
the enjoyment of strength and of vigor,
we can scarcely realize the deprivation.
because 80 suddenly made.
Perhaps not many present had better
opportunities than enjoyed of realizing
the worth and excellence of him whose
loss we deplore. Serving with him in
the Senate eff the State for many wears,
and for some time II member of the same
committee, an intimacy followed which
afforded me the pleasure and advantage
OF approaching tho many attributes
which contributed to make him the good
lawyer, the honest statesman, and above
oil, the virtuous citizen. With mind
more solid than brilliapt-a Judgment
more sound than quick, he relied much
on the deductions of his own reason for
his opinions formed them with
out reflection, or abandoned them with
out conviction of error. The clements
which he possessed were exactly such as
to constitute him, when tested by the
new position to which his merits lately
elevated him, the safe and reliable Judge.
Pure and honest in his intentions, no
fiattery or sopbistry could seduce him
from conviction to which he had
reached by study and reflection, and no
one was more ready to acknowledge err
ror, if satisfied he had committed it.
The short experience which it was the
privilege of the State to have of him in
judicial station, has satisfied the bar
and the people that his death is to he re-
garded as public calamity. The reso-
lutlons OF your meeting are proper and
becoming tribute to one who You all so
we'll knew and so highly regarded.
AS we cannot recall to earth, him,
fom it has p'eased high Heaven to
take 1--WE trust to u better sphere, let us,
at any rate, make his death lesson to
us who survive-that we may remember
from it, that life, at best, is but short;
that it's duties are more than life itself,
and the due fnlhllment and performance
of them, the only evidence that it has
been properly spent. Your proceedings
are ordered to be entered on tho minutes
of the Court.

Somebody says that Ike's last trick was
to throw Mrs. Partingtons gaiter into
the alley, and call the old lady down
from the third floor to see al alley-gaiter.
He might have called to her just before
he threw the gaiter from the window,
and asked her to SEQ "Shoo Fly"

nah Morning News,) formerly stationed
ut Oglethorpe Barracks, in this city,
with his command, Company L, Second
United States Infantry, passed through
Augusta on Tuesday, en- route for Colum-
bia, South Carolina. The people of
that city are fortunate in having Captain

good officer and clever gentleman, az
his many acquaintanccs in this city will
testify.
