It was determined by an nssocirt
tlOD of benevolent men ol the Norb
to send the steamer Chambers to
carry supplies to the stricken vic
tims oi yellow fever in the towns
along the banks ut the Mississippi,
Lieut. H. H, Benner, volunteered
to take command of the expedition.
While engaged in succoring the
lick, dying and destitute he was
attacked with yellow fever, ot
which he died. Ilia luueral took
place in Vicksburg ou Thursday
last, with all the honors due to
one who had fallen a marty
the cause of bumauity.his remains
being followed to the grave by
thousands of the citizens ol Vicks
burg, by whom,it is stated, u tnon
ument is hereafter to be ereoted to
his memory. Lieutenant Benner
was a gallant Uniou sn'idier, and
having left a wife and two small
children entirely destitute of the
means of support,a movement lias
been on foot in New York by offi
cers of the army to raise a fund
lor their relief. Simultaneously
with this movement, we are grat
ified to observe that similar steps
are being taken iu the south lor
the same praiseworthy and benev
olent purpose. A communication
irom “Confederate Soldiers, ' in
the Augusta Chronicle, proposes
that “a fund be rais.d by sub-
scriplion from the Southern peo
ple for the widow at.d orphans of
this Northern soldier who offered
up his life a voluntary sacrifice on
the alter of humahity.’' They
lmve appointed lion. Patrick
Walsh to act as treasurer of the
fund, and asks the press through
out the State to make know-u the
scheme to all t he people, that euch
lnny contribute to the good cause
We give to the movement oui
most cordial appioval, und hearti
ly endorse the clt quell t appeal ot
our Augusta contemporary in its
behalf.—Early County News.

Mr. Wiley M, Camp, a highly
respected citizen of Clopton, Dale
county, went home ou Saturday
l.ight under the influence of liquor
aud Mrs. Camp prepared his sup
pur, lmt he refused to eat it, and
ahked for morplieue. Mrs Camp
at first decided not to let him have
it, blit afterwards yave him tht
solid row of stores mentioned.
Across the wide street were the
large brick building* recently put
up,that but tor the stillness ot the
night would have been in ruins.
The cotton warehouse ot Messrs
Turner & Blown, the center of
which was uncovered, aod lull of
cottou, was iu immediate danger
from the iucessant shower of sparks
and glowiug cinders that lateral
ly covered the cottoo bales. The
froat on the cotton and the quick
use ot Water buckets saved it. The
amount of cottou iu stsie was €00
hales.
The two other cotton warehouses
were not iu much danger during
any stage of the conflagration.
Mr. J. E. DeVaugh lost heari
ly. He had just about completed
his two story brick store immedi
ately across the street, and expect
to move his entire stock into it in
a few days. Considerable money,
papers and the books of his busi
ness w« re in the sate,which at this
writing has not btlen opened and
the loss of the conteuts cannot be
■stiumted. The sympathy of the
community is deeoly with Mr. J.
E. DeVaugh and Mr.Asa Brandy,
who raved nothing aud had uo in
surance.
Mr. Asa Brantly hud on depos
it by a planter *500, and some
$500 cash ot his own. As the
safe has not been opened the loss
cannot he reckoned,
Messif. Eichbautu & Cohen.who
occupied a brick store opposite, \
lost by damage iu removal of goods
about $300.
They were insured but. exerted
themeelves to rescue the entire
stock, as every fne expected the
whole htiKiuess portion of the town
to go down. The origiu of the
fire is supposed to be incendiary,
and was not discevered until the
back part of Mr. J. E. DeVaiighn
aud Mr. J. F. Norris (who joined)
were falling in.
To much praise con not he given
the “colored brother’' who worked
well and until everytihing that
could be saved was carried out and
away Irom the iuleune heat ot the
fire. Much credit is due lor vain-
able service rendered by the will-
ling efforts oi Messrs N. H. Bond,
