DEATH OF JUDGE ANDERSON
We copy from the Vicksburg Sentinel, the following brief account of the death of a distinguished native of East Tennessee, who recently removed from Nashville to Mississippi:
VICKSBURG, Miss., Oct. 12 1841
It becomes our painful duty to announce the death, by the prevailing epidemic of another of our most distinguished citizens. Judge Wm. E. ANDERSON.
We are sorry to learn that his eldest son was attacked by the same disease just before the news of his father's death reached the city.
We have to announce an increase of the disease from Friday night until yesterday. The rain, damp and warm atmosphere which have prevailed for some days, appear to have given an impetus to the fever, which rendered its ravages as extensive as the very cold and cloudy weather, on yesterday week.
