Yancey/’—■ His last words were: “Put inn out of sight,’’ and it. is said that he was con-* stanily muttering, toward his latter end, those fines of Pope : 1 “Let. me live unseen, untcown. And tmlamented let me die. Nor mound, nor monument, nor stone. Tell where I lie. ’ His death was quiet and painless, i after a year of acute physical and I mental suffering, lie was never weal i thy, and it is understood that be left his family without an independence. The time has come when the cir onmstaces of his last illnes and death, with the occasion which suddenly con vulsed a lrame from perfect, health in to a wreck, and mere shaddow, may be mentioned as a historical fact.— William L. Yancey came to his end by ■ violence. It was toward the clt se of the second session es the first, Confed erate Congress, that he broke from the counsels and influence of Mr. Davis, and became, with Mr. Henry S. Fuote, a leader of the opposition. Mr. Ben. Hill, a senator from Georgia, had like wise charged his front, and was remar kable for the earnestness, personal in terest and persistency with which he sustained the measures of an admmiso traf.ion to which his allegiance had been given but late in the day. Air. Yancey, it will he remembered, had i returned from an unsuccessful mission i to Europe, and was representing Ala** .1 bama in the Confederate Senate. ’ The question of a natty was under 1 discussion in secret session Plie de*. j bate’ranged beyond Che parliamentary 1 limits, and* Messrs.’ Vaneev /and • Hill become animated-over the abstract doc ” trines ot State Rights aiel rite divifii-.
