THE HON.JOHN C.CALHOUN--was seized with an apoplectic fit,while the Senate was in session, on the 18th ult.The Senate immediately adjourned on the occurrence of the painful event. MR.C. had been unwell for two or three days previous. WILSON COUNTY LAND CASE--MRS.MARY WEATHERHEAD lately instituted an action of ejectment in Wilson County, for a large body of land, a portion of which she claimed as one of the devisees, under the will of her father, A.BLEDSOE, who was killed a number of years ago by the Indians in this State. MRS.WEATHERHEAD'S case we understand, was decided last week by our Supreme Court in her favor. This decision is rather unpleasant news to the property holders in our good town of Columbia. MRS. W. has suits pending in the Federal Court for one-nineth of Columbis,and the same questions, as we learn, are involved as those litigated in the Wilson County Case. The decision therefore, in that case, makes our chances look rather unpromising. A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT--At a called meeting og Mount Pleasant Lodge, No.57, of Free and Accepted Masons, on the 27th, inst., BROTHER HENRY A.MILLER, offered the following preamble and resolutions, which, upon motion,were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS, In the dispensations of Divine Providence,we have again been called to assemble around the grave and pay the last solemn duties of our Order to the memory of a departed friend and Brother-one who, by his deportment through life, merited a full share of Masonic confidence; therefore,it becomes us as Masons,to express in this manner, our sorrow ay his removel from the society of the Fraternity upon earth to "that bourne whence no traveler returns:" therefore, RESOLVED,That in the death of our friend and BROTHER, JOHN W.BYNUM, the Masonic Fraternity has lost a good and faithful member; one who was liberal, generous,and true; to whom the hand for charity, was never extended in vain; whose feelings were always alive to the distresses of his fellow-mortals, so far as his means would allow his relieving their wants and neccesities. RESOLVED, That we deeply sympathize with the mother,and other relatives of our deceased Brother, whose family has been again visited by the hand of death; cutting off from the stage of action the father, in the full vigor of manhood,and leaving three orphan children to mourn their irreparablr loss. RESOLVED, That as a testimonial of our respect and esteem for the memory of our much lamented Brother, the members of this Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 fays. RESOLVED, That these proceedings be signed by the W.Master and Secretary of this Lodge, and a copy thereof presented to the deceased's family, and others furnished to editors of each of the newspapers in Columbia, and request their publication. ALVIS WILLIAMS W.M. and James O. GRIFFITH, Sec'y. AT A MEETING OF MT.PLEASANT DIVISION NO.11--of the SONS of TEMPERANCE; the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: WHEREAS,in the dispensation of Divine Providence,it has fallen to the lot of our excellent and worthy BROTHER, JNO. W. BYNUM, to be called hence from time to eternity, on the 27th instant. It is therefore resolved that we, as a Division, deeply deplore his loss from among us, not only as a member of our Order, but as a useful and worthy citizen. RESOLVED, That we most heartily sympathize with the friends and relations of our deceased brother, and especially with his aged mother and family of little children in their sore bereavements; that in BROTHER BYNUM, we recognized those sterling traits of character that constitute a virtuous and good man, that made him a kind father, an affectionate husband, a faithful Son, and a most excellent member of society. ETC. JOHN S.HUNTER, W.P.; SAMUEL DICKSON, R.S. MT.PLEASANT, JANUARY 25,1849. OBIT FROM NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE--COLUMBIA, TENN., NOV. 30, 1848. J.B.H. Sister MARY A.G. BRADSHAW, consort of AMERICUS BRADSHAW, and daughter of the late DAVID MARTIN and SARAH ANN, his wife, now the wife of P.D. FRANKLIN, Esq., is no more. She died in great peace on the 24th inst; in the 31st year of her age. In early life, she embraced religion, joined the Methodist E. Church, in which she lived orderly and true,until her cross was exchanged for her crown. She had a sweet spirit, a warm heart and benevolent soul. To love her it was only necessary to make her acquaintance. As a mother, she was tender, as a wife, devoted, and ardent as a friend. She was the life of the social circle on earth, but now mingles with loved ones in heaven. But a few Sabbaths since Sister B. was at her place in the church, with rosy cheek and sparkling eye,but that cheek is pale and those eyes have closed in death. Sleep on, MARY's dust, in due time thy God shall call thee again to mingle with the gentle spirit that left thee. She left eight children, a husband and many friends to mourn their loss.

LOOK OUT FOR NED DAVIS,THE CONSTABLE--It is impossible for me to go out and dun all those who owe me.
