Death of Col EGinIOch FaIcOner.

1t is hard to realize that these sad
words have to be written. Two weeks
ago Col. Falconer left US in good health
to attend sick father at his home in
Holly springs. !. He reached the bed

him last adieu Soon his brother, the
gentle, generous and brave Howard

claimed the upselfsh and devoted subject
of this notice for a victim, and he, too has
been struck down with the robes Of high
office upon him, ia-the- meridian OF life
and the bloom of his useful manhood.
Again has Mississippi been called to
weep at the grave of one Of her best and
traest sons 1t will be pleasing thought
to his friends that in the trying scenes
of the last days,of his life, he was re-
signed TO the will of his Heavenly
Father whose mercy and goodness disrobe
even the pestilence Of its terrors- In a
letter written to a friend in this city on
the t1th inst, two days before he was
seized with the illness that terminated
his life, be thus, as if anticipating the
fatal result, expressed the Christian $

Our dispatches from Vicksburg contain
the sad announcement of the death of this
prominent and useful citizen He was tru-
ly one of the heroes OF the Heroic Hill City
He was iii the very prime of life, and
blessed with all the Surroundings that make
life desirable. AS Secretary and Treasurer
of the Masonic Relief Committee, as a
friend and'as nurse he labored day and
night in aIlevisting the distress that sur
rounded him on every hand. But the plague
had marked him, too, as one of its victims,
and none viii be more mourned in the city
e mere he fell. Mr.. Fardlild was widely
known as an insurance agent, and was still
more widely known as Il jealous and jntel-
ligent Mason, having recently filled the pos
ition of Grand Commander. Well may the
Templars Of The State, and of the Union,
drape their swords and banners, forno truer
Knight has ever donned or DOTTED the ar
mour Of their chivalrous and niagnanimous
fraternity Verify, greater love hath no
man titan this that 4 man lay down his life

None will gainsay the dignity and
courage with which the members of the
press have deported themselves in the
trying scenes Of the pestiIence., lib most
of the places visited by the plague, they
have remained at their posts as sentinels
giving the note of warming. helping the
sick and suffering, and encouraging the
respondent. Sadly have their ranks
been thinned by the pestilence; put the
places of the fallen have been supplied,
and others of the craft have taken up,
and gone forward with, the work. Out
side the pestilential region they have
given Literally themselves and inspired
others to action. The following from
the New York Mail will show what they
have done individually as we'll as in their
capacity of journalists operating upon
and influencing public sentiment: =.
The journalists sof this city are doing
their duty in the way of of contributing TO
the relief of the yellow fever sufferers.
