Sudden Death Of MrValisndinqhanl.

- The telegraph brings the sad news of the
death of HON. Clement l.. Vallandingham, of
Ohio, whose life has ended in the most tragical
manner. It appears that he was engaged at
Lebanon, Ohio, in the defence of a man who
was on trial for the murderof another. He
was in room with Gov. McBurney, his asso-
ciate counsel, and while illustrating the man
ner in which the deceased might have shot
himself, the pistol used for example was dis
charged, and the ball entered the right side of
the abdomen, below the ribs. Two pistols had
been lying on the table, one of them unloaded,
and-it was this weapon Mr. Vallandingham
+ supposed he, had grasped, until the fatal mo-
ment, when it was discovered that he had
taken the wrong pistol The. occurrence took
place on Friday last and Mr.. ". only sur
yiyed until Saturday afternoon. It is stated
thatthis wife was in Maryland, attending the
funeral Of her brother, when she heard Of her
husbands death. -,.,s r.ss.eoe
I Mr.. Vallandingham has long occupied a
large share of public attention. He was a
member of Congress for many years, and al
ways was foremost among the Democratic lead
ers. He was fearless and eloquent in debate,
and advocated his views with an earnestness
that demonstrated his honesty of purpose, if it
did not carry conviction. BE was staunch
and intrepid friend of the South, and was e1-
pelledfrom Congress. and banished from the
Union lines during the war for his expressed
sympathy with our cause. In the last few
weeks, Mr.: vallandingham has been brought
prominently before the country as the champ
on of the 'new departure" of the Democracy,
and just as the measure Of his ambition is
about to be filled as a recognised leader Of the
national party to which he was attached, this
inscrutable Providence has bereft the country
of. his valuable services. We once enjoyed a
brief acquaintance with this noble gentleman,
and can testify to his genial manners and ex-
cellent disposition in private life;

MODERN DOMESTIC CooKERY.-The New
berry Herald notices this work approvingly in
the following paragraph:
The above is the title of a very useful and
neatly printed book of.36O pages, relating to
the mysteries and art of cooking, by Miss The
resa'C. Brown, of Anderson, S, G., a copy Of
which the talented authoress has kindly sent
U.S. In this fast age too little attention is paid
to the preparation of the food we eat, and un-
palatable, indigestible dishes arc served up,
which entail not only disappointments and un-
happiness in the family, but unhealthineas.
In some cases this is the result of careiessness
and indifference in others through ignorance.
In either the difficulty may be avoided by good
books on cookery, carefully prepared by prac.:
tical, experienced persons in ali the secrets of
the kitchen and pantry. The work before us
will serve the pupose designed admirably, as it
is q complete book of reference, and we recon-
mend it hcartily to our lady readers. We do
not know the Price of the book, and, therefore
advise any one desiring a copy to send to Miss
Brown and make the inquiry. ~" eecs'

Sketch of an Examination and Com
mencement of a Military Institution in

Sketch of an Examination and Com
mencement ola Military Institution in
Kentucky.
Mr.. EDITOR: To many of your readers an
account of the examination and commence
ment exercises of Military Academy would
be interesting, because few are acquainted with
the workings of an institution conducted un-
der q military system-perhaps none, except
those who chanccd to visit the Citadel at
Charleston, and few other military academies
ante 5clzum. But when will poor South Caro-
lima be able to revive aCitadep or a rs. G..
College" and her people to visit them as of
old.
1t was the fortune of the writer TO attend one
of Kentucky's best institutions during the
year, viz: the Kentucky Military Institute,
located six miles from Frankfort, the Capitol,
Farmdalc P. O.. Franklin county. This lnsti-
tute is under tho control Of Board of Visi-
tors appointed by the Legislature, and is su
perintended by Col. r. t. T. Allen, graduate
of West Point, and Colonel of the late @. S. A.
It is happily located in amost healthy vicinity,
and at convenient distance from the city. The
examination commenced the 29rd May, and
continued till the Sth of June. As this was
my first attendance at military examination,
watched its progress with some interest.
Upon the opening of the examination, we
found that the regular routine was somewhat
changed. Instead of the six regular recita
tions, and the hourly signal by the command
ant, the cadets are required to stay in their
rooins-no recltations, except those in the ex-
animation hall and instead of six hour ses.
sion, the day is divided into two-morning and
afternoon. The guards are mounted every
morning, whose duty it is to patrol the square
and around the barracks, and to report every
cadet who dles within his room, or who leaves
it, except for necessary purposes. The slow
and constant pace of the sentinel reminded one
of other days and scenes, especially at night,
when the barracks were hushcd in sleep, with
ON occasional light of some studious cadet
shining through his window, and when the
moon poured her gentle rays down upon the
soldier school-boy, No doubt he thought of
his mother far away, and associations stirred
up by memory were similar to those prompted
by the scenes "of all quiet along the Potomac
tonight"
But as this was a daily occurrence, we pro.
