COLONEL HEILEMAN.
We have seen a letter from an ofiioer confirm
ing the report of the death of this gallant oliicer.
We had still indulged hopes that he lived. Col.
Hoileman did not live to learn that ho had boon
advanced and honored by the President. He
lias left a helpless wife and six young children;
the oldest only eight years of ago, and all with
out any stay but Heaven. This brave olHcer’s
wealth was his chaiaetcr and commission. If
ho had lost his life in the battle he fought so vali
antly, his wife would have enjoyed his half-pay
for five years; but, sinking under his untiring
labors in a poisoned atmosphere, his family are
shut out from all provision by the Government.—■

The house belonged to the Bible Society, and
■ was occupied by Mr. Daniel Fanshaw as a prin

■ this building-; they were considerably damaged
- but not destroyed. The loss of Mr. Fanshaw is
computed at §15,000, of which 5,000 is insured,

Asshole Ifog Abolitionist. —A member of Am
herst College has lately gone home with a singu
lar companion. Tito gentleman has been in the ,
habit of ‘ paying attention’ to a colored woman,
associating and ‘ sitting up’ until three in the
morning with her. On a sudden, ho quitted col
lege, and actually rode away in company with the
blackkamoor to his father’s house in Ashhurn
ham, in this state. It is supposed that his attach
ment will continue unabated, as he is a mad abo
litionist, insisting always upon the equality of the
blacks with the whites—advocating amalgama
tion, and openly boasting of his refined taste. He
was a member of the Sophomore Class, is about
twenty-three years old, and his name is Raymond.
His conduct has excited disgust, allied to the pity
we feel for a loathsome reptile. We are not in
formed whether or not the faculty of Amherst
College have expelled him—we believe they have
not. He ts a member of the college church, and,
we suppose will yet pursue his original design of
the pulpit,— Boston Pearl.
Whfn we penned our article upon the visit of
Treslon and Porter to the East, and which was
published in our paper of yesterday evening, we
were not aware tliat even then the Editor of the
New York Star had given to the world the ac
count, (which was re-published by us also on
yesterday,) of a dinner, at which Col. Preston so
much distinguished himself. Truly he is the
very Demosthenes of out country; and often
have wc sat’ and watched the workings of his
animated face, the flashings of his eyes, and the
cold and withering scorn upon his lips, whence
would issue the wild and gigantic flights of his
genius. Perfect in gesture; animated when
necessary ; calm and dignified, as occasion may
require; high and soft, at the proper time; strong,
logical, and beautiful; Col. Preston’s style of
oratory comes up to the highest standard that can
he formed of oratory. There is no cant; no
clap-trap about him. His figures arc lively, yet
pointed—always conveying a meaning, as well
as a music—and there is not a word that he ut
ters, but what wins away at once to the intellect,
and the heart. His would be the voice to cheer
an army crossing the Alps, and God knows, it
r ■ jj"u ■ j «h ii
- should have the effect to ring deeply into the
hearts of his countrymen, and arouse them from
~ their lethargic slumbers. — U. S. Telegraph, Hid

Departed this life, on the 10ih of July last,
near Lincolntou, North Carolina, RICHARD
TUBMAN, Esq. of this city, in the 70th year of
lii4 age.
The deceased loft Augustathrec'or four weeks
since, with the design of spending the summer
in travelling to (he Virginia Springs; and thence
to the West. Within about fifteen miles of Lin
colnian, N. C, Ire was arrested in his journey by
an attack of an asthmatic nature, to which for
several years past he had been subject, and which
terminated fatally on the day above stated. He
was interred in the town of Lincolnton, having
left directions on his death bed, that his remains
should, at a suitable time, he disinterred and per
manently deposited in this City.
Such.it appears, were the strong feelings of kind
ness and attachment entertained by the deceased,
for this place and community : and these feelings
Were fully reciprocated. Strictly identified with
this community, few men have been more exten
sively known among us than was the deceased ;
none more favorably ; and there arc none, it is
believed, whose dealh would ho more sincerely
and more deservedly regretted.
Mr. Tubman was a native of the State of Mary
land, whence ho removed, hr the year 1703 to tire
City of Augusta, of which place he had ever since,
been a permanent resident. For the first eigh
teen or twenty years of that time, j,he was exten
sively engaged in mercantile pursuits, in which
he found his honest and industrious exertions re
warded by an affluent fortune, which was subse
quently much augmented try accessions from o
ther sources. With an ample income, such as
falls to the lot of hut,few, Iris habits were simple
and unostentatious) and his deportment singularly
unassuming. His acts of charity and benevolent# 1
were extensive, and he was seldom appealed to in
vain for the relief of poverty or distress. Few
men, it is believed, have been more irreproachable
in their relations with society ; and few have gone
down to the grave in tire fuller enjoyment of the
respect and friendship of all lo whom they were
known.
