MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
It is with the deepest
regret that we announce the death of Master RICHARD SANFORD, second
son of Gen. Jno. W. A. SANFORD, of this place. He died of a wound
received from WM. HARRIS, one of his schoolmates. We forbear comment
or narrative of the unfortunate occurrence, as it will undergo judicial
investigation. The deceased was a youth of twelve years of age, of high
promise and interest, and most sincerely do we sympathize in the bereavement
of his friends, and the affliction which the sad event has given the parents
of the unfortunate actor.

DIED, in this City on Thursday, 8th inst.
RICHARD H. SANFORD, second son of Gen. John W. A. Sanford, in
the 14th year of his age, in consequence of a stab in the breast, inflicted
with a knife a few days ago before by a fellow student, at Midway School
The circumstances in relation to
this unfortunate occurrence are alike painfully distressing, to the feelings,
of the parents and friends of both the deceased and those of the unfortunate
youth who committed the act, and who is now in confinement under an arrest
for the offence awaiting his trial before the Superior Court. As a judicial
investigation will be had of the facts, a further notice of the particulars
is deemed improper and imprudent to be made at present.
Young Mr. Sanford, we learn
was an excellent youth, of amiable disposition, fondly doted on by his
afflicted parents, highly esteemed by all his associates and others to
whom he was known. From his moral deportment, studious manly character
and early development of superior mind, bid fair to have made a useful
man, and an ornament to society.

Indictment for murder
George W. Searcy not having
been arrested, the other defendant, Wm. Searcy, only was put upon
his trial during the Superior Court which has just terminated its session.
He was charged as a principal in the second degree- as aiding and abetting
his brother in taking the life of Mansel
Smith. The evidence educed established the fact very clearly, that,
although he threw a billet of wood at Smith, and thereby made an assault
upon him - yet, thus he was soon cut down with a knife by SMith and rendered
in capable of further aggression. After this, Smith was stabbed by Geo.
W. as inaction whatever was established by proof against the prisoner William
Searcy.
The Jury after having been charged
with great persolecity by his Honor, Judge Cone, retired, and in some half

OBITUARY. Miss Catharine
D. Hammond
was born in Northumberland county, Va., on the 30th December,
1763, and died in Milledgeville, Ga., on the 11th May, 1842-aged 78 years.
She was the daughter of Charles
Hammond, who removed with his family to South carolina in the year
1776, and settled near Augusta, Ga., where he continued to reside until
his death. During the Revolution, her family were ardently devoted to the
cause of liberty. Five of her brothers were in the army, and one of them,
Col.
Samuel Hammond, (who still survives, and was formerly a Member of Congress
from this State, and by appointment of President Jefferson, the first Governor
of Missouri) distinguished himself in several important engagements with
the enemy. From about the time of her Father's death in 1781 this lady
became a communicant of the Episcopal church in Augusta, and she has generally
resided in that city and its vicinity from that time until November last,
when she visited Milledgeville to spend a few months with an aged sister.
The character of this amiable
and excellent Lady was so strongly marked with every christian grave and
virtue, that it is impossible within the limits of a newspaper obituary,
to review them in detail:-Nor is it necessary that we do so, for, the enduring
record of her goodness is imperishably written on the hearts of her numerous
friends and acquaintances. To them it may be pleasing to know, that the
distinguishing traits of her character underwent no change. - Her benevolence
was active, for she exhorted all, white and black, to devote themselves
to those pursuits alone, which would render them happy in this life, and
thrice happy in the life to come. Her attachment for connexions and friends
remained undiminished to the last moment. - She tried to remember them
all - called many of their names, and sent them messages of love.
Her taste for simple pleasures
was most strikingly exhibited. When apparently in the very agony of death
an infant was brought to into the room with flowers - she smiled, took
them in her hand, refreshed herself with them, and then handing them back
with the blessing on the child. Her Redeemer was steadfast and immovable.
Though prostrated for near 5 weeks, and for the last few days suffering
much. Death in this tedious form was unable to wring from her the slightest
complaint, or carry the least terror to her heart - but, sustained by the
consolations of the Gospel. she went down into the dark valley of the shadow
of death, with as much cheerfulness, as if walking in a garden of flowers!
"Was there any one ever so blest?"
- said she- "i am now happy. Though old and feeble, and always delicate,
I have no fear of death. With so many friends around me, and the arms of
Jesus under me, I know I shall not sink!"
Thus the last moments of a long and
useful life were employed by this sainted old Lady in giving glory to God
in the highest, and in impressing on those who came to see her die, the
importance of embracing Christ as their savior, and giving themselves early
to his service. And thus she fell asleep.
"Or ever the silver chord
be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the
fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern-then shall the dust return
to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it."

Stil Another Death by Violence. - Mr. John
A. Deane, a respectable citizen of this place, and Clerk of one of
our Courts, was on Wednesday evening last involuntarily drawn into a quarrel,
and although unarmed, was stabbed to the heart, and immediately fell dead
in one of our streets. He was not, it appears, of the party who had engaged
in the previous quarrel, but stepping up during the excitement, was accidentally
drawn into it, and without apprehending danger, received the fatal stab.
Mr. D's sudden and unexpected death is deeply lamented by our community.
His remains were followed to the grave by the Metropolitan Greys, the Masonic
fraternity, and a large concourse of citizens. He has left a bereaved widow
and child, ever to lament his premature death, arising from the too frequent
practice, in defiance of law, of carrying deadly weapons. Cicero Buffington
has been committed to our Jail, charged with having committed the offence,
and two of his brothers, one the Sheriff our our county, have had to give
bond for their appearance, charged, with having been accessory. As the
matter will undergo a judicial investigation, we refrain from any additional
remarks. But we lament, truly lament the occurrence, and hope the day is
not far distant when the public morals will be reformed, and law and order
regain their wonted away, for we blush for the present degeneracy of the
times.

"He was admitted into the Hospital, May 27, 1847, completely emaciated
and prostrated from chronic diarrhoea-he lingered until June 4th, when
he died-he had every attention bestowed upon him.:
With an ardent temperament and a
worthy ambition, when the first requisition of troops for Mexico was made
on this State, he joined the Company of the lamented Capt. Holmes, and
was with the Georgia Regiment, sharing their rough fare, and performing
the unsparing duty of the soldier, until honorably discharged. Though he
did not die on the battlefield, yet, he indeed sacrificed his life for
his county; and though he sleeps among strangers, far from parents, brothers,
sisters and his native home, yet, "There is a bright reversion in the sky,
For those who nobly think and bravely die."
