sudden Death of lar. Henry McAIpIn

We regret to chronicle the sudden death
OF Mr. Henry McAlpin, a well known and
highly respected citiz N, which occurred at
his residence at Burnside yesterday after
noon, shortly after o'clock, from eOnges-
ton Of the brain. Mr.. McAlpin was in his
usual health yesterday morning,
but after breakfast, while
sitting on a sofa, was suddenly attacked
with commissions, his left side being special
iy affected, and fell forward, dropping on
the floor in an unconscious condition. He
was at once conveyed to his room, and s
messenger was dispatched for physi-
clans, aud Drs. Dupont and Faliigant
Immediately proceeded to Burnside. He
remained in an unconscious state
throughout the morning, all efforts TO rally
him proving futile, both physicians recog-
MIXING at once his hopeless condition. and
giving warning Of his approaching demise,
DR.. Falligant remaining with him until life
had departed. MIR. McAlpin was native
Of Savannah, and had long been en-
gagged in planting, and was noted for his
genial courtesy aud generous hospitality.
He was about fftY-fOur years OF age, and
had but recently recovered from an attack
OF sciatica, contracted during his late trip to
Arizona. He was q brother of Capt. J. W.
McAIpin, Angus McAlpin, Esq and Dir. ID.
NJ. McAlpin, and leaves wife, three daugh-
tiers and one son, and hosts of friends.
His funeral will take place this afternoon
from Christ Church at half-past four
O'Clock.

About two o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing the store OF Mr.. Jas. f. Gadsdens Post
master at Rantowle's, station, on the
Charleston and Savannah Railway, nineteen
miles from Charleston, was discovered on fire.
and was completely DESTROYED, together
with q warehouse belonging to Mr.. Gads-
den and the railroad depot. The Meas and
Coatrier says:
"Mr. Gadsdeu and his clerk, Mr.. VIM. 8.
Fraser. were In Charleston, where they
sleep every night to avoid the fever. The
store was in charge of colored man, VIM.
Rlaelx who with his family lives in house
close by, Black was first reused by the
neighin4 and kicking of Mr.. Gadsden's
horse. which was in stable on the side OF
the store where the fire broke out, and was
alarmed by the flames. He let the horse
out and it was saved.
"Mr. Gadsden lost all his books and papers,
as well as those belonging to the post office
and those pertaining to his private business.
His loss is about $500, fully covered by
Insurance. The fire was the work OF In
cendtsries, probably negroes. The store
was robbed in November last OF about
81 400 worth of goods, and the robbers
were caught and sent to the Albany peni-
tentiary for robbery of the post Office. Per
hans friends OF the convicts set the fire, or

Celebration by the CoIored Troops.

Celebration by the COlOred Troops.
Yesterday was a gala day with the colored
population, and the streets from early morn
until late in the evening were thronged with
men, women and children, on foot, in
wagons, buggies and carriages. The coca
sion was the commemoration Of the passage
of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton. The event of the day was the military
parade, which was participated in by the
entire eolored force of the city, with COM
panies from Macon, Beaufort, Charleston,
Augusta and Richmond, Va of whose arri-
val mere previous mention has been made.
The line was formed on South
Broad street, near Habersham, about
9 O'Clock in the morning, but 1t was nearly
IL o'clock before the column was ordered to
move. The command consisted of cavalry,
artillery and infantry, and presented a good
appearance. The ranks of the several COM
panies, both city and visiting, were full, and
the turnout was undoubtedly the largest ever
made by cOlored troops in the South. The
men marched well, and the column, as 1t
fled up Whitaker street from Bay to Con-
gress, showed to great advantage.
The last cars for the Anderson street juno
tiou, to connect with the train for the regatta
the time, and were occasioned considerable
delay by the troops obstructiDg the crossing
at Congress street. The division of the line
for few seconds for the passage Of the cars
could easily have been made without
detracting from the effect Of the display,
but this was not done. The cars had the
right Of way, but the conductors did not
exercise it as they could have done.
The command proceeded TO the Park ex
tension, where a review took place, which
was witnessed by probably four or five
thousand coIored people.
The parade ground resembled some coun-
try fair, refreshment booths being erected
in various places, and in every direction
could be seen groups with their baskets and
buckets, preparing for regular picnic day.
The greater portion of the afternoon was
spent in the extension, and the troops were
then marched back to the city and dis

A New and COmmOdIOus Cotton
PIckerY.

Messrs. Dafin & Dresser have leased
from the estate OF the late W. B. Hodgson
the lot on River street, under the bluff, at
the foot of Whitaker street, for the purpose
of erecting cotton pickery similar to those
found In other Southern cities. The stores
that were on this lot were burnt some
nine years ago, but the walls are yet
standing, and will be utilized In the cree
ton of the new building. Workmen are
now employed In clearing away the debris
of the fire, and bricklayers have com
Eenced the work of strengthening the
walls. The building will be built up to a
level with Bay street, and the top will be
used for drying cotton, the roof being timed,
aud will have a slant of five feet in the
length Of the building, about sixty feet The
cellar will be used for the storage of cot
ton, and the other story will consist of one
large room extending the entire length and
depth of the building, making a very COM
modious apartment, where hands will be
employed In picking cotton.
This is a new enterprise for Savannah,
and one that has been needed for many
years, ana credit Is due Messrs. Daffin &
Dresser for inauguratiDg it. The cost Of
the building will be about thirty five hun
dred dollars.

The FaII of SeaGOid with Several
Men on IL,

Yesterday morning, about 10 O'Clock, a
scsffold which had been erected against
Stoddard's western range, on River street,
where some necessary repairs were being
made, suddenly gave way, and David
Moore, Sheppard Kettles, Adam left and
Samuel LLOYD, cOlored, who were at work,
were precipitated to the ground, distance
of nearly twenty feet. The fret three were
slightly bruised, aud Lloyd had one OF his
legs injured to such an extent that he
had to Quit work and return home.
When the scaffold fell, q door-sill
weighing about one hundred and fifty
pounds, became detached and fell to the
ground, striking between two Of the men,
but fortunately not striking either OF them.
Their escape from being mangled was
close one, as the block, which would have
crushed them had it fallen directly upon
them, barely grszed their persons.

The profession ought to bear in mind that

Extract of Witch Hazel, and in ordering the
remedy be sure to designate the preparation
desired, otherwise worthless article may
be obtained.
The same firm also makes a most useful
and convenient nutrient tonic, in the form
