The funeral sermon was preachr. ed yesterday at 3 o'clock, a. iu., by the llev. s_ J. G. Land rum. y Mr. Little came to our.town a few weeks nr. since, feeble and emaciated in search of health, p. He remained at .Martin Springs for a fortnight, iv and finding no relief was removed hither by ie his faithful friend, T. Jarman Elford, esq., who id procured for him superior medical aid, and the constant attentions of a valuable and attentive L'c servant. Mr. Little was a stranger to every fir one except Mr. Elford, who (it will be gratifyx gratifyxing - ing gratifyxing to his friends to know) did every thing iti tc his power to relieve his sutiering, and render i. comfortable his last moments. Of his history ,le wc have learned the following particulars. At in the age of 10 or 17, lie applied to join the Palie motto Regiment as it was about departing for _ Mexico. His application was promptly reId jeeted on account of his youtlifulness.

' B would be vain, then, for any political organition iii this country to base their existence on a creed embracing protection and high ditties, or any kindred doctrines. We believe thaithe dissolution of the old parties is well-nigh completed, and that nothing renjains for true Republicans to do but to exercise uiiinterrup' ted watchfulness, and steadily maintain and defend the constitution of the country. . . What the proposed new party, referred tP above have to make a groundwork for organization we do not fully comprehend, its prppv inent avowed object is devotion to.tlie National Union and the upholding of the Constitution, the Union, and the laws, and to stand by the country and the National Government long a? tor all other piwties cease to have an existence and to withhold their support, in all other pats' ties cease to. have existence, and to withhold their support, in all future State and national elections, from every element of disunion, and from all candidates for office not pledged to carry out the principles, policy, and measured of this new party. This is all very tine, but it is worth while to inquire 011 what basis they design to uphold the Union, or under what construction of thai in -

strument they intend to sustain the Constitw-. tion? The locality of the originators of the pn>p-.. osition is suspicious, and Union men in the South may be pardoned in waiting for further developments before the)' render in their adherence to this organization. Tho rights of the individual States and the rigid exclusion in the National Legislature of all interference ill their affairs, can alone lay a solid and lasting foundation for a Union party. The experience.of the past, however, gives us but littlehope that such a foundation will be short!) laid. There is a dearth of material, and the workmen, especially, in certain sections of the Eastern States, are fa^between. We are content, however, to await further developments.?South Carolini* an.

'Ibis return is not so good, however, as that on some other roads in this country. It may bo accounted for, perhaps, by the comparatively arenter cost of building railroads in a hilly, primitive region, than by constructing them in a prairie district, where as wc are credibly told, they can be surveyed, laid and stocked for twelve thousand dollars a mile.
