ed in the annals of literature. He
was the editor and one of the found
ers Of Russell's Magazine, at Charles
ton, and contributed to the leading
literary journals of the day. In 1856
Tickner q Co., of Boston, published
his volume of poems His second
volume was published two years later
and his third in 1860. All of these
were successful and firmly established
his claim to the title of poet.
In 1852 he married Miss Mary
Middleton Michel, a beautiful and
accomplished young lady of Charles
ton, and daughter of DIR. Michel, a
very distinguished French physician
and an officer in the armies of Napo-
leon Boneparte.
It was one of the marriages that
are made in Heaven. The very ideal
Of conjugal felicity, perfect blend
ing of heart and soul, Of purity, con-
stancy and faith which has never
been surpassed and rarely equaled in
the lives of the most gifted and favor
ed of our race.
Through the disasters of the civil
war, Mr.. Hayne lost all his earthly
possessions. His beautiful home, his
magnificent library, all the valuable
heirlooms of his family, were consum-
ed to ashes during the bombardnient
of Charleston. He was reduced to
absolute penury, and finally with his
"household goods" beloved wife
aud his little son, Willie, his superb
genius, his proud and unconquerable
spirit and his answering faith in the
mercy and love of God, he fed an ex-
lie to the humble little cot, nearGrove-
town, sixteen miles from Augusta, on
the Georgia Rrilroad, the now famous
domicile known as 'Copse Hill"
where he has resided, consecrated to
his literary work, for eighteen years.
In this sheltered nook, far from the
maddening whirl of the world, with
his loved ones around him, with the
charms and soothsaying Of Nature to
inspire him, brave heart within and
loving God above, he fought uncom-
plainingly the terrible battle of life,
overcoming every obstacle, keeping
his armor bright, his sword unstained,
la Christian warrior fighting the good
fight of faith and through indescrlba-
BILE trials and Affections, coming out
more than conquerer, aud crowning a
heroic life with the fadeless iaurels of
fame and Christian triumph.

Successful as lawyer and backed by
large clientage, he always had
money to make friends and even
strangers plenteously welcome at his
own freside. His house was his cas-
tie, but it was also the abode of every
comfort and pleasure which go to
make up the sparkle and cheerful tel
lowship of life. A man entered through
his door as into the Garden Of Daphne
so brilliantly described by General
Wallace in his mastery romance of
the East. Statues and pictures there
were few, and none Of the horid de-
lights which overwhelm the senses,
but such q warmth Of friendly greet
ing, such a CLEAN of domestic happi-
ness, such a luxury of generous enter
tainment, that his mansion was made
to shine from cellar to garret for the
delectation Of his guests. Alas, shall
we see ever again the like of our de-
parted friend, such a happy union of
high and noble qualities
Among all the members of the Beau
fort county bar, in those old days, he
was in the writer's judgment the most
striking figure. There were possibly
better lawyers In the modern meaning
of the term. There were better eonve-
yancers, better technical scholars, and
men more Learned in precedents and
Supreme Court reports. But in pro-
found knowledge of human nature, in
depicting the motives and preiudices
of witnesses, and before jury, he had
but few equals IN his day This was
made manifest in the famous trial of
Wash Caravan. The latter was g ia
nous Primitive Baptist preacher, who
murdered a school in Hyde
county from jealousy The crime was
deliberate, surprisingly cold-blooded,
and surrounded by the most dramatic
and tragic circumstances. Never was
Eastern North Carolina so wildly ex-
cited over criminal investigation.
The case was removed to Beaufort
county, where Bryan, Donnell and
Satterthwaite appeared for the pris
oner. The scene from first to last was
worthy the weird genius of the most
lurid school of the painters art. Sat
terthwaite's III management of the jury
his shrewd examination of the wit
nesses, and his mastery appeal to
the sympathies and passions of the
triers of the cause, were truly an in
spiration of wonder. The prisoner
was lost, and perished by his own hand
in the courtroom, but his..defense will
never fade from the annals of Beau
fort county.
As we go back to those scenes and
old days, the faces of the dead seem to
rise before us again. They were men
when the writer was but boy. But
what a courtly, chivalrous band of
lawyers they were. How Satter-
thwaite grasped your fingers with his
whole hand. How his great, warm
eyes flushed with intelligence and
friendship. And how his enthusiasm
carried everything before it in the po-
itical and social circle. But, alas, the
rushing, moaning tide has swept them
all away. @@

The report that John Y. McClean,
candidate for Assessor of Audrain
county, is wealthy-his father living
in affluence-which lie being circulated
by some of his opponents, is false, but
may mlslead strangers who would
have supported him. His father,
John Y. Mclean, died when Johnnie
was two weeks old, and when IL
years old the great misfortune of his
life befell him-that of losing his left
leg. He is entirely dependent on his
