“She was sunshine, she was music,

We lay our faded blossom so tenderly to rest,
A- mother earth recalls her unto her yearning

Dentil of Genernl Hugh W, fiercer.
A telegram received in this city yesterday
announced the death of Genoral Hugh W.
Mercer, formerly of Savannah, at Baden Ba
den, Germany, where he had resided the
past fonr years. General Mercer was tho
grandson of General Hugh Mercer, of the
revolutionary army, an intimate personal
friend of General Washington, who was
killed at Princeton, N. J. He was born in
Fredericksburg, Virginia, in 1808,
and at an early age entered West
Point, graduating in 1828, and was
a classmate of Hon. Jefferson Davis, Gen.
W. T. ltoseeranz, D. C. Buell and others,
who have been prominent in the annals of
this conntry. He was also on the staff of
Gen. Winfield Scott in 1831, with Gen. IS. E.
Lee, who was his most intimate friend,
both then being young Lieutenants. In
183G ho resigned his position in
the army, settled in Savannah and
married lliss Anderson, daughter of
the late George W. Anderson, Esq. Shortly
alter his marriage he entered the Planters’
Bank as an officer, and was soon advanced
to the position of cashier, which he
held until the commencement of the war,
when he was elected Colonel of the
First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia,
aud, after the promotion of Gan. A. R.
Lawton, was made Brigadier General P. A.
O. 8. in October, 18G1. Ho was, with his
brigade, for a snort time in command near
Charleston, South CaVolina, aud in July,
18152, relieved Geu. Lawton of the command
of tho Military District of Georgia, which
position he retained until relieved
and ordered with the First Volunteer Regi
ment or Georgia, Sixty-fourth Georgia aud
other troops to North Georgia, and partici
pated in the various engagements which
took place from Dalton to Atlanta, under
Gen. Jos. E. Johnston. He was again or
dered to Savannah, and the siege of this
city found him in command of the post of
honor—the right of the line of defenc s—and
on the evacuation of the city he marched bis
trooos *o North Carolina, participating in
the ftuiuess effort to stay the approach of
the enemy iu South Carolina, and was eub-
sequently ordered to Macon, where he and
his command were captured by Wilson.
Daring General Mercer’s administration
of the affairs of this military district, Capt.
Geo. A. Mercer was his Assistant Adjutant
Genoral; Capt, W. W. Gordon, Assistant In
spector General; A. S. Hartridge, A. D. C.,
after whose resignation J. I. Stoddard was
appointed; Major Jas. T. Stewart, Q. M.;
Capt. Wm. D. Harden, Ordnance Officer;
Major Jas. S. Williams, Inspector General,
and Major Geo. Robertson, Commissary.
Major Jno. O. Ferrill and Dr. W. N. King
were also on his staff.
After the close of the war General Mercer
was one of the victims chosen by Stanton’s
malignity to appease the North, and was
confined in Fort Pulaski for several months,
and then tried on the charge of shooting
Federal deserters, hut was acquitted.
No more high toned, honorable or honest
officer was in the Confederate service, and
he eDjoyed a most enviable reputation for
patriotism and devotion to the cause of his
native land.
In 18G9 Genera! Mercer married his
second wife, Mrs. Cnyler, and removed to
Baltimore, where ho entered into mercan
tile business for a short time, and then
went to Europe, where he was residing at
the time of his demise. He leaveB two
sons, Captain George A. Mercer and Mr.
Robert L. Mercer, and two daughters,
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Boit, both of whom
are residing in New York.
General Mercer was a member of the In
dependent Presbyterian Church and for
many years a Sunday school teacher in that
church. He was beloved by all who came
in contact with him and who came to know
his true character. He was also an honorary
member of the Chatham Artillery. We
understand his remains will he brought to
Savannah lor interment.
A Great Invention.
The sifting machine advertised by Mr.
John Derst, No. 92 Broughton street, in an
other column this morning, is one of the
most valuable and useful inventions that
has lately been introduced. We had an op
portunity of seeing it tested yesterday, and
can, without hesitation, pronounce it inval
uable to every housekeeper. As a labor and
time saving machine, it is something that
haB long been needed by bakers. Mr. Derst
is agent for the machine, and will be pleased
to show it and fill all orders.
The Festival in tlie Park Extension.
The festival in the Park extension, inaugu
rated yesterday afternoon by the ladies of
the Mission Church, was quite a success
until the sudden rain about seven o’clock,
which occasioned a general scatteration.
The band had scarcely commenced to play
when the deep Deal of thunder and the vivid
Hash of lightning betokened the near ap
proach of PJuvius, and the visitors stood not
upon the order of going, but went. We
trnBt tho ladies may be more fortunate the
next time.
Death of E. J. Henderson, Esq.
A telegram was received in the city yes
terday of tho death of Elijah J. Henderson,
at Live Oak, Florida, in the morning. Mr.
Henderson was a brother of Moses Y. Hen
derson, Esq., and had been the agent
of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
at that point for some time. He was
born February 4ch, 1839, and was conse
quently thirty-eight years of age. His re
mains will be brought to the city for inter
ment.

The Festival.
Notwithstanding the rain, there was a
vory good attendance at the festival at Ma-
sonic'Temple last evening, and the result
was a very enjoyable time. The several
tables wore well patronized, and the concert
and calisthenic exhibition highly enjoyed.
The dancing was generally indulged in, and
the festivities were kept up until a late hour.
Admitted to the Bnr.
Mr. Geo. F. Gober was yesterday admitted,
in the Superior Court, to plead and practice
in tho State courts, after passing a most
creditable examination, conducted by Gen.
i R. Lawton, Hon. Thomas M. Norwood,
Capt. Robert Falligant and the Solicitor
General.
True Economy,
It has been found that the only true
economy is that which stops the little leaks
and saves in trifles. For instance, one saves
in milk, batter, eggs and flour, by the use
of Dooley’s Yeast Powder, which is made
from the purest cream tartar, derived from
grape juice. Good housewives have proved
this by experience.

Attempted Suicide.
About 3:30 o’clock yesterday morning Po
liceman Bennett’s attention was attracted to
a noise in tho yard of a house on Margaret
street, upon entering which he discovered
a white man oa tho ground bleeding pro
fusely from a severe cut in the neck. Tho
man’s name was Bailey, and the information
given the policeman was that he had been
separated for some time from his wife,
who waa living at the house on Margaret
street. On Tuesday night, we are informed,he
visited this house and endeavored to obtain
an interview with his wife, but she de
clined to bold converse with him except
through tho window blinds. He then left
and went to the house where ho was board
ing, procured a razor, and returned to his
wife’s bouse. He knocked at the door,
which was opened by his wife, when he drew
the razor, and saying “Good-bye,” wiped it
across his neck and fell. The alarm
was given by hia wife, and was re
sponded to by Policeman Baunett.
He was conveyed to the Marine Hospital,
where he received proper medical attention.
Bailey, wo are informed, had beeu working
for the past three weeks at Bowles & Camp
bell’s planiDg mill, and waa regarded as an
industrious, sober man. Hia wound is not
serious, and it is expected that he will be
out in a few days.

A Long Una for Nothing.
An alarm of fire was sounded last night
about a quarter to eight o’clock from sta
tion No. 34, at the jail. The Department
responded promptly, and notwithstanding
the heavy rain falling at tho time, reached
the locality in a reasonable period. They
wero in no very good humor, how
ever, when they discovered they had
been needlessly called out, on occa
sion belug required for their ser
vices. The alarm waa given cn account of
the burning of the chimney of tho house
occupied by Major G. IV. ltyals, on Barnard
Btreet, near Huntingdon. The house is of
brick and the roof covered with tto, and the
blaze was extinguished before the depart
