Tlie Chronicle of Charlestown, Massa
chusetts, gives the following sketch of Mr.
Robert B. Elliott, member of tho forty
second Congress for the third district of
South Carolina. The Chronicle is, of coursei
mistaken in saying that Mr. Elliott has
already taken his seat, as his term does
not begin till tho 4th of March next. Mr.
Elliott was admitted to the floor of the
Houso recently as aro other members elect
who visit Washington. Tho Chronicle
says :
"Robert B. Elliott, the colored United
States Representative from tho Columbia
District of South Carolina, who took his
seat in the House on Tensday, three years
ago was employed in this city as a type
setter. At that time he lived at tho West
End, in Boston, where ho established
quito a popularity among men of his own
color during the few months he was there,
and was a prominent member of a then
existing colored literary society. During
his stay in Boston he married a handsome
and intelligent mulatto girl, [reaving Bos
ton, ho went to Charlestown, H. C, where
he became one of the editors of a Republi
can paper published by colored men.
"Mr. Elliott is about thirty years of age,
and appears to be a full-blooded African.
He was born and educated in Liverpool,
England, where be also learned the
printer's trade. He has traveled consider
ably, and has served in the English navy.
His education is quito complete, ho posses
ing a good knowledge of classical literature,
and speaking and writing the English,
Latin, French, and Spanish languages.-—
He has the roput itiou of being the ablest
colored orator in the South.''
A horrible story of suffering is revealed
in the fate of the crew of the schooner
Nelson. Sho sailed on the 3d of January,
from Darien, Ct., for Oyster Bsiy, and was
not heard from until the 13th of the pres- j
ent month, when the inhabitants of Hog j
island were puzzled by the actions of a |
schooner which drifted listlessly between
the cakes of ice which tilled the South. A
party was organize! to gito the vessel,
and, on reaching bar, a ghastly spectacle
presented itself. From the rigging large
icicles were pendant, and tho entire vessel
was cased iv ice. Two of the crew lay on
tho deck frozen to death and covered with
snow, the captain was almost dead, and
with the cabin boy, was found in his cabin
stolidly awaiting his doom. The story
almost reproduces the terrors of the
"ancient mariner," who was doomed to
Iy ou with his dead companions.

"Dr. Divis was a student of
Batholomew's Hospital and a
graduate of Aberdeen. Both Uni
versity and Hospital were proud of bioi.
Ho resigned a house-physiciancy at tho

armed with funds furnished him by his
friends, devoted himself gratuitously, With
remarkablo skill and energy, to the care of
tho sick and wounded near Sedan, and to
tho establishment of soup kitchens, which
havo given food and life to hundreds of
starving peasants. He overtasked his
strength and fell a victim to his work.
He lies buried in a quiet nook at Fond de

comes an account of the opening of a new
high school iv Philadelphia, to which was
given the name of a colored citizsm emi
nent for his liberality aud devotion to Iho j
cause of education. In the asldrcss on the
occasion, mado by this gentleman, (Mr. |
James Forteu,) we notice one statement I
that "His family had resided for upwards
of two hundred years in the same district I
of the city."
We have all been so long used to look
upon the colored man as the helpless,
nameless, placeless, member of tho human
family—the one who was to be borne
with, lifted, fought for—that the sight fo
him steadily rooted, endowing colleges,
giving with tho old knightly temper the
largesse of his knowledge and his life to
his weaker white brethren, affects us oddly
and with a strange pleasure. It will give
more than pleasure to our colored readers,
for whom we record it, if it serve to remiml
them that "With Fortune's wheel they go
not up nor slown, whose hoard is little but

Recently, a committee of colored citizens,

to know if they wood be granted a position

told that they would be made welcome as

it was to remove tho impresssion that the
