We publish elsewhere the very sad intelli-
genee of the death of one of our most pro-
missing late fellow-citiZens, DIR. james IzOd
Marsh, son of Mr.. Cyrus Marsh. of this city,
who was killed in IssaqueDa county few
DAYS ago. The deceased was in the very
vigor Of early manhood, recently married,
and was just building up large practice in
his profession, of which he had been long
aud careful student. He was one of natures
noblemen. He was modest, brave. unas-
suming, dignified, generous and true. He
had fought with distinction In the COnfede-
rate army. which he entered when mere
youth and whose destenies he followed with
unswerving determination as a member of
the Natchez Fencibles, in the 18th Mississip-
pi Regiment. After the war he pursued a
course of medicine and surgery in the Royal
College at Dnblin, whence he came with high
honors. His untimely and sad tate brings
deep mourning to an afflicted family, and
grief to many who had known and loved
him well.-Natchez Democrat.

1t is really refreshing to read THE CLAIR

thieves of Mississippi. If they have not
reduced scOundrelism TO a science, then ras-

CLARION tells it all, and if there is one sim
gle man amonst them who wishes even to
be thought honest or decent. he will surely
fight or certainly leave the abominable land
