Death OF Colonel Ynpcev.

ATLANTA. Ga. Oct 26.-Colonel Benjamin
c. Yancey. who died on Saturday in Floyd
county. Ga, was a South Csrolinian by birth,
ard 0 BROTHER OF The famous William l. Yam
cey. He represented his native State in the
Legislature, was President of the Alabama
State Senate and was a member of the
Georgia General Assembly. In 1857 Presi-
dent Buchanan appointed him min
ister 10 the Argentine Republic. Upon
bis return he lived for some time in Atlanta
The Office IF Minister to the French court was
offered him by President Buchanan but was
declined. Colonel Nancey commanded a
regiment of cavalry in Hamptons Legion
during the war. With the return Of peace he
devoted himself to the agricultural interests
of his section. For several years he was pres-
dent of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society, director of the Atlanta and West
Point road trustee of the State University
and was president and director of various
large business enterprises. In many respects
he resembled his brother, Senator Yancey
and il is more than likely that he would have
been still moro promoted in public lie if he
had made his home in one State and in one
locality. As it was three States claimed him

The body had turned around, lying ON its
face, and the interior Of the casket bore traces
Of terrible struggle with death IN It's most
awful shape.
The distorted and blood-coyered features
bore evidence of the horrible agony endured
The clothing about the head and neck had
been torn into shreds as was likewise the
lining of the coffin. Bloody marks of finger
nails on the face throat and neck told of the
awful despair Of the doomed man who tore
his own flesh in his terrible anguish.
Several fingers had been entirely bitten OF
and the hands torn with the teeth until they
scarcely resembled those of human being.
