MeSSrs. Editors 1t was with great
pleasure that few weeks since read in
the columns Of your valuable paper the
name Of the Hon. Robert G. Combs highly
spoken OF as the proper gentlemen to rep.
resent our district in Congress as success.
sor 10 Mr.. Compton. Allow me to say that
a gentleman with higher or more consci.
entious principles, greater integrity and
ability does not tread the soil of our Con-
grcssional District. His statewide reputa-
ton will secure for him, if nominated, the
ballot of every true and patriotic citizen
regardless of party.
Since a son of St. Mary's represented
the District in Congress, a quarter of q
century has elapsed, but, our proudest
heritage still is the honor reflected upon
us by the then strong but now alas, aged
voice of that gallant and noble son. Be.
licving that the gentleman whom we have
mentioned would be his worthy successor,
with much respect we subscribe ourselves
as first and last for ROBERT G. CooMBs.

Death OF IDr. Maddox.

l have received from a member Of his
family the announcement Of the death of
DIR. Thomas Harry Maddox, which took
place at his home in Louisiana on the 18th
ultimo. On the 25th of February his age
would have been ninety eight years, and it
is believed that he was the Oldest resident
of that State. He prepared himself for his
departure hence, by religious reflections
and penance and by dcvoutly partaking
of the Holy Sacrament and in a short time
thereafter, in full possession of his mental
faculties and with perfect resignation. bid
farewell "a this world

DIR. Maddox was n native of Charles
county, this State, and the son Of Mr.. John
Maddox, his mother being Martha, IN,
daughter Of Col. Thomas Harris, of Mount
Tirzah. In said county. He was thus III,
nephew of Thomas Harris, flFmcr Clerk 4

nevolenee belonged 70 The nature Of the
man.
DR.. Maddox married daughter Of judge
Miller, Of Cincinnati, who died many ysars
since leaving six children, all Of whom,
except one. are now living.
When the late war commenced, DR..
Maddox was wealthy planter and con-
tinued % cultivate his estate with success
until 1864 when Major General Banks
made his celebrated military expedition
up Red River. Knowing that the princi-
pal purpose OF the invading army was TO
dispossess the citizens Of the State Of their
property in slaves, and TO appropriate the
cotton which they had accumulated, from
necessity, leaving the latter to their mercy,
he went with his slaves 70 Texas, there TO
await the fortunes Of war. While he and
his family were absent, the Federal army
under General Banks and, IL Ii fair 10 pre-
sumo by his order or permission, entered
his estate and after taking from ii his accu-
INFLATED crops of cotton and every other
movable article, committed his valuable
dwellingi and every clubhouse and tene-
ment to the flames, and even demolished
his water cisterns. Gen. Banks can inform
us why this act of cruel vandalism, unac-
countable by any rule or law Of civilized
war, was perpetratedi
After the war, the old man, certainly du-
ring its continuance a non-combatant, re-
turned TO his desolated home without any
other chance of living and supporting his
family except by the assistance of beneyo-
lent friends. This he received and though
greatly reduced from what had been his
condition previous to the Banks invasion,
he had partially restored himself to indie
pendence and some degree of comfort with
in the twenty-four years between the bar
barous destruction of his property and his
death.

A social hop was given at the residence
of Justice Shadrick, on the night of the
9Th instant, by our popular and estimable
young gentlemen friends, Messrs. Tippett,
Guyther and Shadrick.
The kind hospitality of our host and his
daughters is so widely known and has been
so often proven indispensable that it need
less to speak of it.
The party was well attended and seldom
was mansions walls decorated with so
many beautiful flowers. The music was
rendered by the famed 'violinist,' Mr.. Pill
kerton, and from early evening until the
eye of day lit up the blindness of the night
did the sweet strains continue.
1t is quite pleasing to the writers and
generally customary to refer to the better
sex and so We will endeavor to make men,
ton of as many as space will permit.
The Misses Combs were, as usual, gay
and radiant, and well did Miss F. display
the art of her mantua- maker. Miss Nina
Cole looked quite charming and her beau
tvs superiority was unquestioned. The
Misses Shadrick were their customary
models of perfection. The Misses Bean
were very animated and as to their lowell
ness we refer you to Messrs. w. j. and G.
c. Miss Hogg-I fear to refer to her bril-
liantness-as it requires a ready writer's
pen to do her half justice. The winsome
and attractive Miss Ingram, and Misses
Hilton, Bond and many whom we could
mention wore their usual genial and fash
mating smiles. WA.
