sons, one grown and the other ap.

him to the grave, are left to mourn his
loss, and feel the want of a protecting
fathers care. He had been engaged in
farming below here on the river and
was considered successful planter.
He sold his place, and together with
Messrs. Mcleod and Terrell, when
work was first commenced on the rail-
road west of tho Ouachita, obtained
contract and engaged in that enterprise,
in which it is thought he lost money.
He was making preparations to move
his f,milyto Florida just before his
death. Cur sympathy goes out to
them in their terrible affection.

VIM. Pitt kellogg comes back at his
whilom friend, John A. Walsh, with
vengeance. kellogg denounces
Walsh as swindle, blackmailer, and
other things. Walsh may be very
bad man, and no doubt is, but Kellogg's
statement to that effect will not
strengthen anybody's belief of it. In
deed, Pitt is such an un.nitigated
fraud that one of the ablest members
Of his party has designated him the
champion liar of the world, and on be-
ing asked in court under what circum-
stances he would believe Kellogg, he
replied, that if Kellogg were to swear
to seIfevident truth he would believe
him, but his swearing to it would
weaken his confidence in the incontro-
variability of the proposition. Never
theless, it seems to us that it is now
