Dratb at Dr. J.T. Pniereon.
The many friends of Dr. Paterson in
oor city wore startled on Sabbath morning
by the announcement, road in two or three
of tho Churches, of liis burial sorvioos from
the Cemetery Chapel on the same ufter*-
noon, hie remains having been conveyed
from Savannah, whore he died suddenly
tbe previoua day.
Tho deceased was, for several years, a
resident of Augusta, and removed, at the
close of the war, to Savannah, where ho
engaged in the lumber trado. While among
us, ho was always distinguished for his
integrity in business, his unsullied private
character, the scrupulous honesty which
characterised his every act, and the unos
tonfatiousness of those deeds of private
charily and benevolence by which lie illus
tinted his sympathy with tho misfortunes
of his fellow-men.
Since writing the foregoing, wo received
the Savannah Republican; »r yesterday,
which contained tho following:
Death kron an Overdose »r Laudanum.
On Saturday morning about eleven o'clock,
Dr. J. T. Paterson, a well known merchant
of this city, diod iu his room, at tho Cavil
lion Hotel, from tho effects of taking an
overdose of laudanum, lie had gone to
bed late on Friday night, and complained
of not feeling very well; was restless and
eould not sleep. After having been in bed
for some time he arose and took about forty
dropsoflaudaiium. Thirty drops constitute
the regular dose for an adult, we believe,
but more than that amount lias been given
without evil consequences ensuing. After
takiug tho laudanum Dr. Paterson fell into
a sort of stupor, which alarmed his wife, who
called the proprietor of the hotel. Ho came
and looked at the Doctor, who was apparent
ly in a very deep sleep then, and he told
her ho thought it was all right, and quieted
her fears. After daybreak he failed to
awake, and his breathing appeared to be
very labored. Thoroughly alarmed for his
safety, Mrs. Paterson had Dr. Fish sum
moned. He came and administered Extract
of Oaffiue as an antidote, but Dr. Paterson
was then in a dying condition, and the
antidote failed to relieve him. lie expired
about twelve o’clock.
He has been in the lumber business in
this city and Brunswick for some time, and
was the senior partner of the well known
firm of Paterson & Tucker. lie was a
gentleman and merchant of unblemished
reputation, and a large circle of friends will
mourn his untimely deuth. Deceased was
about forty years of ago, and married, but
had no children. Ills remains was taken
to Augusta for interment yesterday morning.
We 1 earn from a gentleman cognizant of
ail the facts connected with this distressing
affair, that the statement that Dr. Paterson
took but forty drops of laudanum is based
upon his own words. After taking the
laudanum, his wife asked him what quantity
he had taken. Ho slid “forty drops.”
Afterward he wanted some more, and
reached for the bottle, but Mrs. Paterson,
fearing that he would take too much, hastily
seized it, and then noticed that there was
but little left in the bottle, and as there had
been quite a large quantity there, she saw
at once that he must have swallowed very
much more than forty drops. lie was in a
state of nervous excitement with regard to
an important suit which he had pending at
the North, aud he had his arrangements all
mndc to leave by the steamer, on Saturday
afternoon, for New York, to alien 1 the
court.

Electioneering fifty Vcnr* Ago.
We have before us tho following elec
tioneering notice, ns far back as 1818, It
seems that John Smith is candid —he
bargains publicly lor votes. John is a
model—he has no such imitators nowa
days. But hoar what he has to say :
I have obtained an exclusive right from
the President of the United States for an
improvement on a Washing Machine. If 1
am elected, this I give to the County of
Adams, for every one to make use and sell,
as they see proper. I ask for this gone cotes.
John Smith,
Candidate for Sheriff.
Immigration toAinui ica--lixoilits from
tier many.
We learn from the Washington Chronicle
that intelligence lias been received from
Bremen, that 8,000 persons sailed the week
before Easter fur this country in four steam
ers aud seventeen sailing vessels, aud that
steerage accomodations to the first of June,
had been engaged. The subject of immigra
tion is now occupying the attention of many
persons at the South. In our State, by the
recent action of the Georgia Railroad Con
vention, and in our sister State by several of
tbe large land holders, among them Colonel
C. F. Hampton, who propose to donate lauds
to immigrants to induce them to settle down
in their neighborhoods.
This is well aa far as it goes —it shows an
awakening perception of what tho true
interest of the South requires—an increase
of industrious laborers; but to be effectual,
something more is yet needed. Before a
man goes to anew country to make his
home there he wants to know what he is
going to get besides mere land. He wants
schools for his children, society for himself
and his wife, and the certainty of being
recognized ns a ftee and equal citizen by his
neighbors. •Until Col. 11 ntnptoii and his
friends can promise these things, their offer
of free land will not do much towards
attaining the object they desire.
There is one other great desideratum m.
our opinion, which is this: we must haven
permanent civil Government, where life,
liberty, and property is fully protected.
Without this.it is supreme folly to hold out
tho mere gift of lands as the only induce
ment. Leaving their homes to seek peace
and avoid war, these peoples from tho
Despotisms of Europe can not he thus in
duced to come to Ihu South until the Union
is fully restored.
Newspaper Anniversary.
On the 24th of April, 1868, was the Ono
Hundred and Sixty Fourth Anniversary of
the first issue of the first number of tho
first newspaper issued and printed in North
America. The Boston News Letter, was first
printed the 24th ot April, 1704. The
American Weekly Mercury was first printed
at Philadelphia on tfi,. 22d day of December,
1719. In New York, the New York Ouidte
was first printed on the 16th day ol October,
1756. In Rhode Island, the Rhode Island
Gazette, in October, 1733; no paper was
published iu Connecticut until 1755 ; nor in
New Hampshire until 1756 ; uor in Ken
tucky until 1787 j nor in ths State of Ten
nessee until 1790. If tbs publishers of the
Boston News Letter eould now ewnken from
his long sleep, and hs made fully aware of
the progress made in tho “art preservative
of all art*,' 1 and handle tbe mammoth dailies,
now everyday “household words”—what
would be his exclamation? llow utterly
astonished would he he, that so small a
spark as his of 1704 had kindled into so
extensive end universal a fire, so soon, as
only a century and a half, and a little over,
had expired.
A modern printing office would be a
startling revelation to hiut of progress.
Steam driving the revolutions of the press;
steam making the typos, aud tho paper, and
the machinery; stnam tho motive power,
and American ingenuity the directing
power. 'J lioso wonderful achievements
would undoubtedly be beyond his compre
hension. What then will be tho situation
the same length of time in the future?
Who can toll? If “coming events cast their
shadows before,” wo are well satisfied that
in the far distant future, equally great will
be the improvements in mechanism as in
that of the past century and a half, and
that those of us who are now on the stago
of life would be as niueh taken aback us
we have supposed others would be (if now
to return to earth, who were the first pro
jectors of newspapers in this country), if
in one hundred and sixty-four years lienee,
or in 2032, we should be permitted to eome
back to earth and view the vast amount of
progress made in every vocation, and above
all, in our own particular speciality.

riiillipa’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, May 17, 1868.
Editor Notional Republican :
Our provision market has boon quiet the
greater part of the week, and prices have de
clined materially on most articles, but the
strength in feeling has not yet been lost, except
with weak holders, or those who are obliged to
realize, buyers have been hammering the market
to their utmost ability, with a view of going in,
and this idea is a correct one for future profits,
but at 'he closo it was found that the stocks
were too (strongly held to make much impres
sion, ami tho prices of to day aro higher than a
low days ago, and stuff much difficult to buy at
present prices. The market closed firm at my
quotations below.
MESS PORK—Is in good demand, at $27.75,
hut generally held at S2B cash, with buyers at
this figure, buyers’ option this month; Country

had—s2s would he paid for scalawags. Extra
Prime Fork $25, with a stock about 1,500 hhls.
LARD —Has been in modorate demand, except
at very low price; 181 is freely off-.-rod, hut it
can’t ho had under 18J, and not much at that,
notwithstanding the decline in Liverpool. Lower

quotations aro only nominal.
BULK MEATS—Are in hotter demand, at

BACON—At tho decline, has been in fair
inquiry lor future delivery, but has been touched
lightly this week, buyers preferring to hold bulk

Washington May 18. —The House reso
lution setting the impeachmout managers
to work again, lias the following preamble:
“Whereas, information has come to the
managers, which seems to them to fur
nish probable cause for them to believe that
improper or corrupt influences have been
used to influence the determination ol the
Senate upon tho articles of impeachment
exhibited to the Senate by the nouse of
Representatives against the President of

untrue.

A doubtful rumor prevails that Grant has
written a letter declining nomination, unless

creates considerable excitement.
Washington, May 18.—It is stated that
new Cabinet changes are pending, and it is
asserted that the new Cabinet will tend to
harmonize Congress and the President, and
that the President will cease obstructing
reconstruction on tho Congressional plan—
the progress of events having rendered his
own impossible now, and the material
interests of the South requiring immediate
representation of some kind.
This statement is made on high Repub
lican authority.
Among witnesses summoned by the man
agers are Dan W. Voorhoos, Perry Fuller
of Kansas, and Gen. Tims. Ewing.
The Impeachment in England
London, May 18.— In soaui comments on
acquittal, the 'limes says the eleventh article
was almost too vague for any substantial
charge, but the vote upon it corrects the fear
of any parly bias, and shows the case to
have been judged on its merits alone.
The Morning Telegraph says that dignity
and decorum have marked the whole trial,
aud the non removal of the President is
a most fitting close. Even the most ultra
Republicans will lie compelled to admit this
at no distant day.
The Standard says the Republican plot is
beaten, and the country saved tho shame ot
deposing its Chief Magistrate for refusing to
obey an illegal act of Congress.
