Especial telegram to the Dlspatch.l g.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, September 6.-Thc
great Dismal Swamp is OIL fire. Over 1000
acres are now burning over, destroying
timber and doing great damage to the land,
the surface OF which is rich vegetable de-
post several feet deep. Gangs Of laborers
are engaged in cutting bitches and using all
other precautionary means to prevent the
spread Of the flames to the richly-cultivated
fields OF the farmers in the swamp. As
result OF these fires Norfolk and Portsmouth
are overhung with thick clouds Of disagree
able smoke. A storm is brewing tonight,
and heavy fall OF rain would afford a happy
relief. &c H. 49,

A correspondent who recently called on
"BIue Jeans" Williams, says:
The governor-elect has story-aud-a-h
frame house. painted white after the true
American fashion. His parlor has mod
est ingram carpet and wide fire place with
daguerreotypes on the mantel, a hich-post
bedstead with a patchwork quilt, and a Dor.
trait of Gen. jackson hanging on the wall.
Mrs. Governor Williams il seventy years
old, and is feeble. She appeared to the
correspondent in linsey -woolsey dress
with little white ruiiie about the neck, a
checked apron and a white cap. In reply
to question whether she would accompa.
ny her husband to indianapolis, Mrs.
Williams replied: al, is not yet fully
decided; but l guess not. 1T will be
pretty hard for me to go away from home
so far" Mr.. Williams smiled at this, re-.
marking pleasantly that "she would he very
much like the woman who Unlisted for n
whole year that she wouldn't move, whether
her husband did or not but when ut lnst
everything was packed, and the children
had been assigned their seats on the top Of
the load, she came up to her husband and
quietly asked, James, where am ! to sit p
NO, l guess not" quickly replied Mrs.
Williams; Eve shall not give up our home
here, and had better remain where am"
1t is possible Mrs. Dunn, his only surviving
daughter, and a widow, may accompany
Mr.. Williams and keep his house.

From the Philadelphia Dispatch.
4 striking fact in connection with the
dying is that they are not afraid of death.
You notice this even in executions. The
majority of men who are hanged are re-
ported to have died "game." Death fol-
lowing disease or injury is seldom accom-
panied With fear Disease dulls the intel
ligence 50 that the situation may not be
fully comprehended, or there may be pain,
and death may be looked upon as relief.
Nature, by kind provision, seems to pre-
pare for the fight Of the spirit. AZ the
hold upon life grows weaker, 60 does the
