Ill III -III-. III i t III I i III III III MISCELLANY. OBITUARY! NOTICE. , j Died, at Popular Grove, his residence, in Halifax county, on Saturday .the 20ih inst., in the" , 72nd year of Lis age, Col. Andrew Jother - --j ' l The indisposition which immediately preceded and terminated in his death, was uboul four weeks long-, - during which he sunk gradual and unresistingly, until be caltnlj breathed his last ; but he was the victim of an ill health, which more than two years had pursued him',". and wait es pecinlljr aggravated near its close by the death, in the bloom of life, of h:s eldest child a most aminble, accomplished; and bfdoved daughter. : If no pihrr spot than his neighborhood, or the county of Halifax, were affected by this work of death, there would be enough calamity to make . his decease a very sad ' event to his fellowmen, among whom be was personally , .$0 well known, and so much esteemed for bis elevated integrity and honor in bis intercourse with :hem. But the theatre ot Col. Joyner's usefulness was nor alone a county ; he spent no in considerable portion of bis life in the public service, and has left the Stale indebted to him for his useful labors. j In his youth, he was the clerk of a mer chant, and in early manhood became a merchant himself tn the county of Martin This business be followed many years, anil with a success well deserved ; for it wan the fr it of gre.it industry, system, scrupul jus integrity and intelligent liberality ; and -when here tired.he bore with him a charuc ter for justice in his transactions with men, which was never assailed or questioned. In the war of 1812, Col. Joy tier jwas Lieut. Col of a regiment of militia station ed at Norfolk. During his command rng ed that fatal epidemic among the troops, . which separated so many of them sudden ly and forever from their homes and famil ies. -'' I '"'.(''. In the very midst; of it, throughout its entire deadly career, Col. Joyner was daily occupied in giving relief to the sic 1c! and protecting the well from the spreading in fection; exhibiting thus, on the fatal spot where so lately we have seen them dis played in their sublimest perfection, the no blest of all courage, and a charity almost divine.-; : j j The' survivors of this plague, who wit nessed his courageous devotion to their comfort and welfare,! in the hour ot their distress and his danger, never forgot their noble commander; and all of them, who afterwards chanced to Jive within the range wf the ballot-box where he was a candid ate, whatever might be the difference in their political views, openly rojoiccd at the opportunity of casting for him their suffra- ges. . j On the return of peace, Col. Joyner was elected by the people of Maitin a member of the Legislature in the House of Com mons, where he served until he removed -from the county. In one canvass he obtain ed every vote cast but ;t wo. f About the year 1 81?, he removed to the town of Halifax, then flourishing with pros perity, and resumed for a few years the business of merchandizing, and afterwards retired to a healthy part of the county, at a litile distance from the Roanoke, where, with the exception of a short time spent in th same pursuit in Norfolk, he devoted himself mainly to agriculture and the dut ies of public life, i 1 The reputation of Col. Joyner for (up rightness, impartiality, acuteness of mind and ready application of his large practical knowledge to the transactions of men, en gaged him at one lime! of his life in more arbitrations of law suits and controversies between his fellow-citizens of Halifax county," than ever fell to any other man in the county. The matters referred were often of extreme complication, and involv ed the adjustment of nicely balanced equi ties. Yet, on all occasions he acquitted himself so well, that in time be was over, whelmed with business of this kind. His chamber during court week was often cull ed 44 Col. Joyner's court of equity.", j It would have been strange, indeed, if such a man had been left duiing a long life to fill the measure! of his usefulness in a private station. Such was not his des tiny. His fellowmen demanded his services in the councils of the State ; and he yield ed to the demand.: j - j . In the year 1835, he was chosen a mem ber of the Senate of the State, and continu ed by successive elections in that post; un til 1854, when his age and declining health compelled him, against the warm solicit ations of his constituents, to sever a connec tion which had so long and happily sub sisted, and had equally distinguished! the constituent for his constant and unsha ken confidence, and the representative for his untiring -zeal and fidelity, " , He earnestly sought to retire earlier, but they so clamored for their old Senator that . it was not an easy matter to consult bis own -wishes ; and he yielded to their entreaties, juntil his shattered health de manded instant repose . j- - The practical good sense of Col. Joy ner, bis stra'g fit-forward arid manly course, and bis devotion to the interests of the State, soon secured for him in the Senate a posi tion and popularity which were not sur passed, if equalled, by those of any other member of that body, during his long Sen atorial service. He was twice elected its Speaker, and, in his adminstration of the duties of the Chair, he gave universal sat isfaction. While a member simply, i his position on important committees required of htm labors of an arduous and intricate character. j, . . , . M ' : ' With his sagacity, and his liberal and practical -views of the public welfare, it could cot be otherwise : than that he should be an advocate of internal improvements. No on in the State was a more decided and intelligent friend to such works; nev er, however, a blind enthusiast, but an ear. nest and discreet counsellor in the cause, opposed equally to the visionary projects of some, and to the timid and slow-paced ac tion ot others.' - , The progress of internal improvements in the State is indebted to no man more than to Andrew Joyner. B his voice and purse, he encouraged the early undertak ings of our railroads; and in the darkest hours of the depression, when many who were timid and many who were more eag er to be on the popular side, than on the right side, sought to alarm the public mind, or magnify its fears, and proposed, at the .risk of their entire destruction, at once to withdraw the fostering hand of the State from giving them a small temporary relier even, the example of his manly courage, and the statistical information furnished in his able reports, gave confidence to the timid and left the selfish without the influ ence to raise themselves, for a day even, on the prostrate institutions of the Slate. He. lived to see the railroads, which' were tottering to their full, spring into fresh life, and proceed in the full accomplishment oT more than be had promised. His early and long continued connection with the Roanoke Navigation Comp-tny, the most successful of the early schemes, very fully.turned his attention towards the subject; and it may be questioned, wheth er there was another man in the whole State so well informed as himself on the general subject of internal improvements In performing the duties of a Legislator, he was influenced by no sectional consid erations The entire State was the field of his equal care. - Altbough averse to public speaking, and sparing of it in the Senate, he was never theless able in debate. Before the people, when he was opposed and driven to the necrssity of speaking, it is no exaggeration to say that th re was not in the State a more powerful and efficient speaker. In manner he was plain a d direct, without ostentation; and in matter he was solid, co pious, and comprehensive. Intelligent, prudent, and indefatigable in his business, which he . conducted in the most exact method, he was rewarded with the fruits of his industry, in the accumula tion of a large estate. Those who enjoyed his acquaintance only after he came into public life, without any knowledge of his previous career, doubtless regarded him us a well-taught man, with the advantages of a mind discip lined by a liberal and well-directed educa tion. But bis scholastic opportunities were very slender, and arose not above those of the humblest school of the country. He educated himself by bis employments. Hts letters on business are models in pers picuity, brevity, and point. Indeed, all he wrote, whether reports or bills for enact ment, was remarkable for correctness of language and aptitude of expression. His capacity was of a very high order, and it has often been remarked, by those who knew him intimately, that, had he been troined to the bar, he would have been as profound a lawyer as the Slate ever saw. Among other appointments which he filled, was that of Justice of the Peace; and, as long, as it was acceptable to him, he was universally chosen Chairman of the speciul court. No one more thoroughly appreciated than he the true dignity and responsible office of Justice of the Peace ; and it can not be forgotten by his colleagues in the Legislature how anxious he ever was to preserve the magistracy of his county frjm being burdened with useless members ; and when any were needed, to recommend those only who were men of sense, probi ty and standing. In the hours of abstraction from busi ness, he was exceedingly social ; and many ibere are, who remember with great plea sure the elegant hospitalities of his house, embellished as they always were by the accomplished lady who presided in the household. Colonel Joyner was a man of exceed ingly fine j ersonai appearance; and it re quired but a glance to recognise in his manly bearing and form, and in his digni fle l but cheerful countenance, one of the very best specimens of the gentleman of the old school. With his party he was their beau ideal for a governor of the State ; and he would have been selected by acclamation as their candidate, but for the trying labors of a can- ass being too severe for his declining years. Col. Joyner was born in Halifax county, on ihe 5th day of November, 1786, and was twice married His first wife, who died many ) ears ago, was the daughter of the late Gen. Williams, of Martin cou .ty, and bore all his children. His second wife, who survives him, was the widow of the late Gov. Burton, and a daughter of Willie Jones, of Halifax, a man emminent in the revolution. In bis latter years, he became a member and communicant of the Episcopal Church; and in bis last illness, manifested a most fervent Christian devotion t He greatly desired to die in the enjoy mem of an unclouded mind ; and to this end, for many days before the event, he steadily refused the use of all stimulating medicines. In this wish be was most ex traordinarily blessed. Without a momen tary sympiom even of aberration of mind, he came down to the very door of death, and there, without a murmur or straggle, and in the last breath, himself composed his eyes and mouth in death. i Raleigh Standard. -' FURTHER FR "M KANSAS. . I Return II iw, of Ike Missourians. It ap pears that the Missourians, 2,400 strong, with Tour pieces of artillery, under Uener al Heiskell, who proceeded towards Law rence on the 14th inst., to attack that town, baited at Franklin. " Here they re ceived notice from Col. Cook that be had a large body of U. S. troops, and should defend Lawrence at all hazards. On the 15th Gov. Geary arrived at Franklin, and had a consultation with the officers of the invading army. He told them that be was prepared to enforce the laws, arrest offen ders, to . crush insurrection and suppress disorders, with the aid of the troops placed under his command, and that the interpo sition of the Missourians under Gen Heis kell was no longer necessary. As an evi dence of his ability to enforce the laws, he told them that be had j-st arrested 90 or 100 outlaws, who would be properly tried by the legal authorities. In view of these facts, the Governor urged the Missourians to disban I and abandon their projected at tempt on Lawrence. - General Atchison, General Reid and Col. Titus addressed the meeting and urg ed compliance with the Governor's propo sal. The Governor then withdrew from the conference to afford the Missourians an opportunity to act among themselves on his suggestion. A meeting was instantly organized by calling Gen. Atchison to the chair. Resolutions were passed de claring that, relying on the protection promised to peaceable settlers by the Gov ernor, tbey4 be invading army, would' dis band and return to their homesrequest ing the Governor to organize and distribute over the Territory a force of militia to pro tect the settlers from marauders and rob bers and recommending that Col. Titus be made commander of the militia of the Territory. The Missourians then broke up eamp and returned home, except those who intended to settle in the Territory. A RUSSIAN MISTRESS JBALOUS OF HER SLAVE. The Allemeine Zeituny of the 21st of July, gives the following illustration of serfdom in Russia, as of recent occur ence : Among the serfs owned by a widow lady was a girl who had been brought up with unusual indulgence, had re ceived a superior education, and accfOi red manners far more cultivated than belonged to her class, to which advan tages was added the natural gift of an attractive person, At an early age she was' apprenticed at St. Petersburg to a French dress-maker, and having attain ed to some skill in the business, she was after a time offered profitable em ployment. This her mistress permitted her to ac cept, on the usual payment of an obrok to herself in lieu of personal service. The girl conducted herself well in her situation, acquired a knowledge of ihe Grencli language, and formed habits of considerable refinement. Here she attracted the notice of an officer of the rank of colonel, who, in due time, prov ed his attachment by offering her mar riage. The girl accepted the proposal, and nothing remained but to obtain her freedom of her mistress. The purchase money the colonel was willing to pa v. This ought to have been regulated by the oorofc which the girl had paid, cal culated at so ma-iy years' purchase The officer, however, was not disposed to cavil about the price, but on applying to the mistress, to whom he unfortunate ly explained his purpose, he received for answer that on no terms whatever should she emancipate her slave. Every eubit was used to shaka reso lution, which appeared unaccountable ; but argument, entreaty andjmoney were alike unavailing, and the lady remain ed inexorable, giving in the end ihe clue to her obstinacy by observing that she would never see herself take prece dence of her, as she would do if mar ried to a colonel, while she was herself but the widow of a major. The match was necessarily broken off, and the girl's prospect of happiness destroyed. To complete her misery, her mistress revok ed her leave of absence, and ordered her immediately to return to her native village. Arrived in the village, the un happy girl, accustomed to the habits and comforts of civilized life, wascloth ed in the coarse garments of an ordina ry peasant, and was forthwith ordered to marry a rough moujik, of the same class. Revolting at this tyranny, and refusing to obey, she was flogged, and though she still resisted for a while, a long continuance of cruel and degrading treatment conquered her in the end, aud she was forced to submit to the misera ble lot entailed upon her by the wretch ed jealousy of her heartless mistress. ABSENCE OF MIND. A. farmer, the other day in a fit of ab sence of mind, hitched himself to his cart and put his horse inside. He did not dis cover his mistake until he received a smart cut of the whip from the newly installed driver. Jacob Wise, of Brantford, Canada, being taunted by the wife of one of his neighbors with being just out of jail, which was the fact, committed suicide by taking lauda num. 25 DOLLARS REWARD! 8 - RANAWAYfiomthi subscriber. 1U er 1 vantJIM SH A VV, a jroung-dark malairo, of i- ngni ana miner small figure ; ajenerany miles when about to talk.
