Mr.. JOHN MARSHALL, JR.-One Of the most
prominent young merchants of our city died
on Wednesday evening at his residence, in
Washington street, in the thirtieth year Of
his age. Mr.. Marshall was native Charles
tonian. At the outbreak Of the late war for
Southern Independence he espoused the cause
ol his state with youthful ardor, and, having
joined the Hampton Legion, he served
through the entire war, sharing in all the va
rying fortunes of that famous corps. When
the war was over Mr.. Marshall returned to his
native city and embarked in the naval stores
business upon his fathers wharf. His remarka-
BILE energy and business talentswere not long In
making themselves felt, and their effects were
apparent in the rapid growth of large and
lucrative business. H.s operations were or
| an extensive scale, and he made large sales
both for the domestic and European markets
Mr.. Marshall was i'll but short time, and
few hours before his death 1t was hoped tina
he had recovered. A relapse, however, fol
lowed and he passed gently away, leaving
widow and two small children. His tunera
took place yesterday afternoon at the Secon'
Presbyterian Church, and was largely at
tended.
