Ploughing. —Most of the fanners in this county have been engaged for some time in ploughing their land for spring cropsi having determined, we presume, that winter has post poned its advent until,another year. Sealer op Weights and Measures. — Abraham Bosler, of South Middleton town ship, has been appointed by Gov. Packer Scal er of Weights and Mcasurses for Cumberland county. Appointments nr the Governor.— John Jlecklin to bo Flour Inspector at Pittsburg, and Charles Barnett Sealer of Weights and ■Measures for Allegheny county; _ Clerks in tub State Department. —The following, gentlemen have been appointed to Clerkships in the State Department at Harris burg : John A. Innis, Northampton Co.; B. F. Chandler, Harrisburg.; Richard Hogeland, .'Harrisburg ; B. F, Irwin, Franklin Co. We are right glad our young friend Irwin was successful in his application. He is a son of the late John Irwin, Esq., a much respect ed citizen of this county, and : whose sucldcn death we noticed a 'few weeks wince. Young Irwin possesses superior qualifications for The position to which he'has been appointed, and, notwithstanding he is not at present a citizen' of our county, he has still numerous friends here who will rejoice at his appointment; Fresh Peaches in Winter.—Wc hut} placed upon our table, a four days since, a half gallon can of tresh peaches. In taste .and fragrance they are as good as the day' they ; were picked from the tree. Those peaches were put up in hermetically sealed, cans, by Worley & Pe ters,'ot York Springs, Adams County, who .are w.ctl and. favorably known for their success in.raising and preserving fruit. These superi erpeaches uf which we speak, can be had of our neighbor Inuofp, in large or small cans. d/- From the present indications our citi zens, we tear, will bo deprived during the sum mer, of that great luxury—ice. A day or two 'back we had a breeze fiom the North West, when we fkttprod ourselves that we were going to have a freeze sufficient to enable us to pro cure a summer’s supply, of ice, hilt soon ‘a change came over the vision of our dream;’ the scale Is turned, and a balmy breeze came swell ing, over us from the South, accompanied with •light showers-on, Sunday night and. Tuesday morning and noon. Alas! ‘how uncertain aro all things here below.’ At one moment man’s hopes fun mountain’s high—and the very next moment his hopes are levelled witli the decay ing mass in the quagmire, and run over and "destroyed by the rough wheels of time! . Superintendent op Public Printing.— Of Burkett, Esq., editor of the Harrisburg Keystone, lias been appointed Superintendent of the State Printing.. Gov. could not hive selected, a more worthy or capable man for tlris position. . . Recovering. —Wd learn from the Shippens-. burg Notes that Mr. J. W. Deal, the conductor on .the 0, V. Railroad who was injured a. few weeks since, by the accident at Grcason's Warehouse—the particulars of which we pub lished-—is speedily recovering, and will soon bo able to resume his post. The statement that bis.thigh was fractured was incorrect. Consular 4 Appointments.— On Wednesday tho President sent to the Senate the Consular appointments. It is understood that only those poisons were selected who could spoak tho iSSf guago of tho country to which they were accre dited 4 , StokesE. Roberts, of Bucks county and, Mr. Sarmionto, of Pliila., were the only appoint ments from Pennsylvania. It is stated that General Walker has .flooded the South with bonds of one hundred dollars each, issued in his (Walker’s) name,run ning twenty years, 4 payable in Nicaragua, lands. Want to go Back. —Sixteen returned filli busters bare published a card in the Norfolk papers, announcing that they consider them selves “prisoners of war,” and ready at any moment to return with Gen.

Dr. Thomas Cooper,, formerly President of the South Carolina College, some years ago wrote ah exceedingly able essay on banks and banking, of which tlie following were the intro ductory paragraphs The Doctor said: . “ I am ho friend to either, such as I sco them under their present organization and operation. A faithful portrait of them presents .an ugly likeness for the public to dwell on. There are exceptions to this as to almost every other gen eral assertion, and I rejoice at the idea of shy ing so. But tho most, I fear, is not productive of public benefit. “I am very suspicious of. tho moral honesty .that guides tho transactions of the money mar ket ; of men who grow-wtSMthy, riot by jisoducinp wealth) but by shuflling the cards, h “ I consider mercantile enterprise carried to. the extent it has been for tho lust lew yearsj as putting too much the character of gambling;— putting horiest principle in jeopardy; destruct ive. ol real wealth-producing industry, and wholesome frugality. Excessive importations are tempted by the facilities of bank competition. Tho consumer is tempted beyond Ids means of paying; Over trading and wasteful consump tion, lead .to.the direct and downward road to insolvency. These are common-place remarks; so are all important truths. “ Wo are becoming a nation of lawyers, mer chants and clerks. The labor of tbe hands is considered disgHStl'ul.

Tno cause of all this, and. almost countless other evils that might be named, iq to bo found in the improper facilities afforded to speculating gamesters, by paper-money banks, | which enable them 19 live without labor, and to grow richwithoutindustry. It is not,surprising that such an army of idlers and infest societ} - , for who among us would perform any more labor if we could all. buy houses, lands, and luxuries With a paper promise to pay ? If our projniscs would enable us to live in luxury and .extravagance, in idleness splendor, labor would be banished from the face of the earth - The dhormous expansions of paper money within tho last tow years - Have induced a spirit of gambling, an insane spirit of speculation, unparalleled, perhaps, in tlie history of file world. Tho temple of mammon has been thronged.with devoted worshippers. Splendid fortunes wore floating in every breeze, dazzling the eye of,every beholder; hundreds and thou sands left tlieir. farms and workshops, and plunged info tno maddening vortex with the vain'hope of growing rich in a day. Tho country has been reaping the bitter har. vest of all ibis madness, delusion, and folly.— The melancholy lesson has been learned That we have too many merchants, traders, and clerks, tpo many lawyers,, doctors, ministers, too many of Whitest every class oxtepf ' farthers and ihe-' chanics. We have found out a’ great truth, in the bitter school of experience, that nil the means of enjoyment and nil the accumulation of wealth, are the products of human labor; To diminish labor,.then, is to diminish the amount of human happiness; the enjoyments of human life;.for.the greater the number of Those who live without labor, the greater will be the dimi nution.of production, and the wider and more deplorable the consequent ruin.

Misoonduct is- Cudroii. —The following re marks of the, Lowistown Democrat, on the sub ject of misdemeanor at Ghufch, are quite as ap plicable to Carlisle .as-to Lowistown; and wd therefore copy them ' It is not very unfrcqnontly that'we hear Ministers of the Gospel and others; utter- com plaints against the bad conduct'exhibited by some of the young men and boys, and (shameful as it is) even a few females at church. 'That there are persons'll! Lowistown so utterly deprav ed in heart and so completely divested of every particle ofhonor and,self-esteem as to conduct themselves in a vulgar and indccoroua manner in the holy sanctuary of God—to make a mimi cry of religion, and to treat with derision.those well-disposed-persons who have sought and ob tained a heavenly sandtilicalion, seems almost to invite incredulity, and wore it hot for the fact that wo have already boon an eye-witness to some of the disgraceful proceedings alluded to, we would he loth to believe it. We have at times been in the Methodist Church; and, after hearing the clergyman hog and implore of per sons to cease their noise, and conduct them selves in a manlier becoming tho sanctity of the occasion; made it obligatory upon tis to ascer tain who the persons were, and tho sight that mot onr eyes was almost beyond expression. Wo have seen females—females who would feel insulted to bo classified under any other appel lation than that of ladies—set boldly in thoir scats, while the congregation were in'the atti tude of prayer, and laugh, and talk, and nod and wink to their. acquaintances, to such an iriarming extent ns was truly disgusting; and young men—men whom we had thought were possessed of too good sense to bo guilty of a misdemeanor in the house of God—act in a mode indicative ot anything hut tho gentleman. Tim same behavior, we learn, is observable in tho Lutheran church night'after night, numb to tho annoyance and grievance of those who go thither through purely righteous motives.

We are happy lo learn that the New York State Inebriate Asylum has organized its board by the election of Benjamin F. Butler as Presi dent, and a large number of distinguished and influential New Yorkers ns members of the board. . The amount already subscribed is fifty thou sand dollars. Among the subscribers arc 800 physicians, 90 judges, 400 clergymen and 1500 merchants. More than 1300 physicians .have mcmoraliz cd the Legislature On the subject of a State Asy lum for Inebriates, and clearly demonstrated the absolute necessity of such an institution.— In fact all classes sec the, importance of such a measure, ,and anticipate the most beneficial cf fects from itsprnotifcalVprkiligs. If the.pcople of New Xork require an asylum for Inebriates, we are satisfied that an equal necessity exists in Pennsylvania, and it is cer tain that such nnf institution would meet with the support and appreciation of the moral, phil anthropic and intellectual portion of our com munity. Although wo are now laboring under serious pecuniary embarrassments, it is certain that if active measures were taken, enough money would be subscribed in a few days to secure a house of Reformation for such of our unfortu nate fellow-beings as have become slaves to strong, drink.

Our Legislators are intelligent and progressive, and we feci certain that in order to secure their cor dial co-operation, it is unnecessary only ,to demonstrate the necessity of an Asylum for In ebriates. t# The cause is one which rill good men can unite, and he who shall distinguish himself therein, will gain laurels that Wellington hover won, and Napoleon never wore, and place his name high among the benefactors of mankind. Running in Debt. Of whnt a frightful progeny of ills and woes is debt the parent! Some one ‘most forfcibly remarks, that if the young could but know the fatal misery they are entailing upon lhemsclv.es the very moment they accept a pecuniary cred it, to which they are not entitled by their actu ally existing necessities, how would they slart back and pause in the career 1 How pale would they turn. How would they tremble and clasp their hands in agony at the frightful abyss which yawns before them. 1 Debt has been well said to bo tho, riipther of, folly and of crime; It taints the very fountain of all our joys and embitters life to its very source. Hence we see so many unhappy fami lies, so many venal presses, so many marketa ble politicians. Debt may be a very small matter in the beginning, but it has, a giant's growth ind acquires a giant’s sirength; "When,’ wo create the monster we make our master, who haunts hs at all hours, and shakes his braided whip .constantly in our sight. Keep put of debt. Buy nothing because it is cheap, on a credit—pay-day will come, and pome perhaps at iv time when you are illy prepared for it.— ICeef^these shackles off your limbs —this burden: from ydur shoulders. No slave has a task master so severe as the thing called debt. . Revival of Manufacturing Business, A totter from Lowel to the Boston Traveller,. says: “The spindle city is gradually resuming its steady hum of industry and wonted business like appearance. With the. exception of the unfortunate Middlesex—most of the mills arc in a running condition, giving tho operators from two-thirds to full lime. All departments of tho immense iron' works at Boonton resumed work pn li|onday. For the last two months only tho blast furnaces have boon in operation, the puddling'furnace,, nail factory, keg factory; See., being closed. The number of hands employed, when these works aro in full blast;, is something over 500. The Fall River. Mills, 9,000 spindles, at Prov idence, is-rifnning.full;(imeon.prrnt cloths. So ‘is tlm-Anawan Mill, also 9000 spindles, making print clothh. Tlmse mills have boon funning full time for a month or more. Tho Metaoonmt is also running full time.

It then proceeded to the Jones House, where Governor Pollock and his suite wore ta ken up. The Governor and Governor elect rode in a very handsome carraigo. The pro cession advanced through various streets, which were tilled with people, who, from time to time cheered the Governor and Governor elect.. On State street, the military formed on each side, allowing the carriages of the Governors and others to pass between to tho capital. The park around tjiO: capitol was crowded, as were the p;ortic'crjin9‘l(hp,windows of the building it self. A-'substantial platform was . erected on the porticif, whore (he inaugural, ceremonies might take place in full view of the great multi tude of people.

In regard to Ihe banking system, the Gov ernor takukw: proper and patriotic position, al though it is hot as radical as the true necessi ties of the people require. He is opposed to the circulation of small notes, and of an increase of banking capital, unless with additional secu rities to the creditors of banks. Herein the Governor goes further than is necessary. Any increase plj banking capital, any guarranlces, roust provij. injurious. The interests of the people require the (gradual abolition of banks, in anticipation of the time when they .shall cease to exijt... jVny : policy which.permits their increase, under real or supposed securities, must prove injurious. It is • impossible to create a', bank which will not be a detriment to the however much it may be for. the advantage of individuals. C3=-Xlio|f.Tv,Enqui for gives the; following about sausages: jAn incident occurred yester day in. 'l7tu streets, near 11th avenue, which goes fur .to strengthen the prejudice so long ex isting againjt sausages. The daughter of a po liceman saw, from-a rear window of her resi dence two men lead a lino looking dog into a yard adjoining, and after cutting the animal’s threat, carry the parcass into the house. She continued td Watch, the movements of the in mates, aud soOn saw the same men akin the dog in a rear roojm opposite, and a Woman clean the outinils. From.those proceedings she conclud ed that there was something wrong, and' in the absence of her father, went in .search of another policeman,-] Offioof McDotigal, of the twenty second Precinct, being notitiod,.procured the assistance of officers Casey and Tompkins,, and proceeded inihiediatoly to the promises in. ques tion, where ilhoy found two Gormans, named Francis Millprand Andrew Sbbwcitzler, ns rep-, resented, cleaning the dbg meat, and Mrs. Mil ier cleaning- jliof entrails;. In . a barrel which', stood near, was a largo quantity of sausages, supposed to-havo boejp mado'irom dog meat— the moat of opoor dog'Tray,” just 'slaughtered, was partly packed- away in a tub, and the head of the victlmflay on top “b« nalurellc.” The whole parly: wore, arrested, and with tlio dog meat taken tc the Jefferson Market Police Court, wlierO'an examination was held, before Justice Kelly. -Miller denied having over made or intended to make sausages from dog’s moat, but liis.physici'iin, Dr. Thom, having recommen ded that ho jhould'usq dog's fat for his com plaint—consumption-—ho had procured this dog for that purpose,.of bis friend Sohweilzler, who had aided h|m in the. butchery. As for the sausages (bund on the promises Miller said they were made from s£ pig ho had purchased a short time ago, but a butcher -who was attracted-to the court by tlio nature of the case,- was ol tho opinion t hat i said suspicous edibles wore not “pork sausages.” 1 Dr. Thom, a Gorman physician was in Court, and said bo had recommended dog fat for. con sumption, but not dbg moat for sausages. It was not ascertained, .what disposition the prison ers intended,to make of tho meat. Tho magis trate, in order, to-got further 1 particulars, held tho parties to bail for further examination. Burning of the School-House in Brooklyn. .The New York Tribune gives the following particulars of the public school house in Brook: lyn m\d the loss of life which it caused : The school house was a throe-story brick building, forming an angle, on the corner of Concord and Navy streets. There were three entrances', one near the centre and near each of the extremities of. the building. The girl's do-' partment was on Concord ‘street; that of the boys,, on Navy st. The (irst (boy wns-occupied by the furnaces for heating the building, and' also as a play-groiyid for the children. The primary’ department was on the second floor, and ort the third floor tile grammar department. The primary and grammar schools were divided into five classes each, separated from one anoth er by. folding doors. Each of these class rooms opened into a corridor, which extended the en tire length of the floor. From these corridors tho stairways descended to the ground floor, turning once between each story. The entire school numbers about 800 children, the greater proportion being boys. The children killed were all killed ‘upon the lower landing, by suflooation, not one was burned. Their ages were from oto 10 years of ago. About 10 minutes past two o’clock, the fire was discovered bursting out near one of the par titions in. the Girl’s Primary Department.— This was just above the entrance for the girls on Concord street. About the same time smoko was seen.issuing from the registers in other parts of the building. The teachers in the several departments, seeing that the' building was on fire, dismissed their scholars in as or derly a manner as possible, standing bn ,the stairways to prevent them from overcrowding each other in their fright. As may be imagin ed, a great deal of 'excitement and confusion prevailed among the children, but most of them passed out uninjured. When the fire was discovered, Miss Ruther ford, one of the teacher? in,the girl’s Primary Department, hastened to communicate the fact to MissToorhies, the head teacher of the bqys’ Primary School, so that she might bt enabled to dismiss her scholars without causing need less alarm. Unfortunately, however, a little girl followed her, crying -fire,” at which the boys in Miss • Voorhie’s Department became panic stricken, and rushed pell-mell to the stairs.; At this time there was very little smuke incite corridors or school room ; but, in their frfght, the children crowded after each other in such haste and confusion that when the fore most reached the first landing, above the ground floor, they fell down, and others pressing be hind stumbled over, them, until the passage was completely choked up. A, scene of, the most alarming nature followed. Children trampled each other under foot, in their frantic haste, arid the little suflerers filled the air with their shrieks. At this juncture', Mr. Wood, the Principal, ran down stairs and endeavored to extricate them from the pressure. But for a few mo mpnts he was himself in imminent danger of be ing crushed to death, , Scores of little fellows, in their distress, lifted their hands” and in im ploring tones cried, “oh, Mr. Walcott; save me, save.trie.” Others groaned and, screamed in mortal agony, as they were trodden,to death under the feet of the crowd. By almost super human exertion Mr. : Walcott succeeded in ex tricating a few of the children near him and passed them over the banisters to persons in the hall below. At this time the little ones were packed so firmly upon the landing that, al though several uien below endeavored to rescue them, they were unable to pull thetn but. Having succeeded in passing a few of the children over the banisters in safely, Mr.' Wal cott was enabled to pacify the others so that they became less unmapagable. The boy’s primary department : contained, jicarly three hundred children'. About one hundred and fifty of them were passed over, the banisters, and the people from the street, in the .course of a few minutes,.succeeded in extricating those who had fallen oyer each other on the landing. Several pfilho letter taken put dead,While plliers', were picked' up insensibley 'arid died shortly afterward. But, whenThe'passage had been cleared, the.boys behind.'seeing the fate of them companions, wore afraid to, venture down stairs, and had neither, to bo lifted-over banisters or handed out of the -windows; In the course of fifteen minutes after the discovery of the fire the building was cleared. The teach ers were the last to leave. the ladies, were compelled to descend to the street by lad ders, from the second story windows.

Trariserspt Ims the following account ol a shocking affair, ns hav ing occiflred in Gates co., N. C.: • 1 , On Monday afternoon a negro man belonging to Mr. Seth Benton, of North Carolina,Who had been hired out to.work' on. a railroad, was to have left Holy Nock, in Nasemond county, on tjiat day; with a number, of others, for the place of llis labor, but on tho departure of tho gang he managed to be left behind. Shortly after bo proceeded to the house of Mrs. Holland, a wid ow lady, whom he murdered. •'Ho then wont to wards tho residence of Mr.AVhitewell Jones,but inceting him a short distance from his house, killed him also, and with a largo club mangled his head in a shocking manner. ’ He afterwards made for the bouse of. Mr. Urinir Rawls, where ho would doubtless have destroyed a whole fam ily had they not boon apprised of Ins coming. Mr. Rawls went out with a double-barrelled gnn, as the negro approached ho fired, but tho charge being of small shot, it did not stop him, and Mr It. discharged the other barrel with no better effect. Tho savage pursued him, and wasjust upon his heels, when Mr. K. suddenly turned and struck him a 'severe blow' with the breech of Hie gun, which felled him to the ground -apparently lifeless. Ho, however, re vived in a short time, arose and ran across an adjoining Held, when ho discovered another wo man, Mrs. Rowel, but she succeeded in making her escape from him. By. this time the alarm had spread through tho neighborhood, and the negro was pursued by Severn! persons wcliarnf ed. He made for the swamp and attempted to hide himself, but was finally overtaken and shot. Tho excitement created in all that region was intense.' The news.spread from house to house, and it was supposed that a general insurrection bad conimcnced. Messengers were sent in va rious directions. The people turned but in large numbers and repaired in baste to the sev eral points where it was supposed their services might be needed. The following telegram from St. Louis to the New York Times of the 20th instant, would seem to indicate that, the Mormons are allied with the Cheyenne and Camanche Indians, and that it is their intention not to leave the Terri tory, of Utah:. . The St. Louis Republican has received infor mation from Fort Lawrence, through an Indian trader, who arrived at Jefferson City yesterday; and who reports meeting on the 23d of Decem ber, between COO and 700 Cheyenne and Caman che Indians, returning from Salt Lake to their \ village on the Black- Walnut Hills, about 80 ; miles southeast of Fort Laramie. They were ; accompanied by about 20 Mormon leaders. ; It. ; was their intention to remain in the camp | erected there until Spring, and then employ' ! themselves under Mormon influence, in harras sing,and cutting.off the supply.trains .sent to the relief of Colonel Johnpon.. The Indians had bceh.led t 6 believe that the Mormons had.eigh ty thousand fighting men well equipped for service. They also spoke of numerous fiortifl catipns, and a large number of Indian allies, and declared that the Mormons had no idea of running away frptn Utah. , The Leavenworth City Ledger, of the ,Bth in stant, says that three young.men, Henry Ba ker, James Smith and Alex. Francis, arrived there on Thursday afternoon, the 7th, direct from Fort.Bridgef. They came the whole dis tance, 1200 miles, on toot, and. accomplished their journey in 45 days. They report that the day they left six Mormons came into camp,' and reported that the Mormons were in e state of civil war, Bffgham Young and about one half desiring to march against the troops, the other half being.in favor of the troops coming into Salt Lake and establishing a military gov ernment there, and overthrowing the present powers that be. Referring; to the repent death, of Col. Wyn koop,,by the accidental discharge of a gun, in the hapds.of.his servant, in correspondent of the Boston Post, gives the following affecting inci dent: , . Colonel Wynkoop, of Pennsylvania led into the field of Mexico a regiment second in point bf discipline to no regiment of volunteers, ex cept perhaps Breckinridge’s Kentuckians. He was.distingnished in many engagements ; ho captured General Valencia and staff; and at the close of the war, he returned to his home with laurels. He is now dead. The circum stances are familiar. With his wife who is an invalid, ha was visiting the interior of Pennsyl yania for. recreation and change of scene. The country is wild there, and sparely settled. One ■morning ho went out with his servant to shoot game for his wife. In handing him tho gun, the servant by accident discharged it; the con tents took effect m his leg, severed the ar'ery and he lived but a few minutes. This has 'been told before. An absurd superstition prevails among the ignorant inhabitants' of the- region, a tp *.vinst touching a dead body before an inquest was 'Set upon it. The servant had been sent at once for aid to-some distance, and in vain did Sirs. Wynkoop endeavor to induce—by supplica tion--by promises, by oilers of. money—the stultified neighbors to shelter ami. care for her husband’s'body. It was a dark night. He still lay .where he fell : and there, in that howl ing wilderness with the clammy dampness of midnight gathering on her garments, did that delicate 'woman-, ns frail ns the wild flowers around her, that folded their, petals together, in that weird solitude,'Sit alone on the chill turf, supporting on her knee the head of her hus band ; and there remained keeping her lonely, vigil until the Dreakmg-of the gray dawn; alone with her dead and with her bleeding heart. . - If the incident' be tv sad one, it becomes a season set apart to lessons and pledges of riffle tion. 0,143 509 Bcspalclios Prom the Utah Expedition. Washington. January 23.—Despatches have been received at the War Department from- Col. Johnson, dated November 30lh, which confirm the previous reports ofbxcessiye spher ing and great loss of the draught animals by snow storms, cold and starvation- , A suffic ient number of oxen, though poor, have been sayed.lo supply tho proportion of the .rations for six days in tho week, and there is on hand bacon sufficient, for one day in each week, for seven months. There is also flour and-small rations fop the same period. The storms deal roughly with Col. Cook’s command. He lost half of his horses besides a number of mules. A further advance towards Salt Lake City cannot be made without.a new supply of such animals, to procure which, Capt. Many has been despatched to New Mex ico, for use in the early spring, when the army with a volunteer force of 2000 men, will resume ike march as soon ns supplied with horses and mules, and the grass on the mountains is suffic ient to support them. . o ,.y,plun..tccr,Companies have been mustered into service for nine months, and it is expected that in a (ew days two more companies 'will be mustered in. ‘ The troops have borne tho dangers and pri vations of the march with patience and cheer fulness, and are in fine health, though some of the regiments are still suffering from' 1 rested Jimbs. Another letter from an officer of the army says that tho Mormons are afraid of tho mount ed men. They are a set of.cowards, like all as sassins and robbers, and 'ho fears that their leaders, and those who have no claim in the ■ vallGy, will run away, requiring their deluded followers to destroy their property, lest it may benefit tho army.

A Devoted Wife. From the Washington Staler, . - Character of Uic laic General Rusk. It is gratifying political rancor and party differences fall like ashes at the ,door r the tomb wherein tho political antagonist is i terrod. Sometimes the.animosities of this nr carious life follow the inspiration of them tliroimh tho portals ol gloom, and play over the grave hr rivals like tho phosplioVoscent light of the mri osophers. Rusk’s character was above politic-ii rancor, and consequently gave no roomier th great magnanimity of any living man to praise” but it nevertheless was deeply suggestive of hi’ Hno nature and manly qualities to hear tho' elo quent tributes to ids nnilio, fame, and meniorv' which calmed, thrilled, and moved the Scnnl yesterday. Coming from political friends and foes, the groat theme was variously sounded * At his grave all parties amalgamated,-as itwcrT a monument above it, recording'the faith and force that onco animated the dust below. a It was peculiarly bfredlivo do. hear Ginr-ral Houston, tho chosen of the ariti-forcign school refer with pride to Rusk as laving inherited from his Irish patriot parents'that love of lib. erty and hatred of oppression which fitted hi m " for the defence of his native- dpuntry, cither as asoldici;, a slatesmhn, or citizen. He had few, advantages of education.; but his indomitable will and .clear., brain coryed put that path ( 0 distinction for himself, upon which, in the ca ses of children of the wealthy, numerous per sons arc engaged -in excavating. U e studied law, 'removed to Georgia, married an estimable; wife, and in 1834 removed to Texas.. Hi s scr . vlcre to this State in its w.-ir of Independence in their variety and ability, remained one the determined and ready capacity of the pa triot founders of our.own Republic. As Secre tary of War, Coniii'.aiider-in-Chief of the Texas' army, legislator and chief justice!' that Repub lic, his career demands the labors'of the histo rian not loss than the loving enthusiasm of the,- eulogist. When the Stale was annexed, to the Union,. Rusk was unanimously elected to the Unikdl Stales Senate and subsequently was elected by that body to the honorable and prominent posi tion of presiding over their deliberat'bnii'. y. Gen. Houston, with great sipiplq Toj-qe,.re counted the triumphs of his late colleague. In everything good and great ,he stood conspicu ous; As a husband, he was manly and.devo ted ; and as a father, loving almost to imbecil ity. His death he regarded as a national ca lamity, as he was- a man for, the nation, apd not for i section of it. In Texas his memory will be cherished as long as history or tradition remains. ' . Senator Collamer, recounting his official con nections with the deceased, paid a tribute to his breadth of purpose and immoveable persistence. He was forced to feel not only, a high reSpett, for. but* a deep confidence and friendship in, deceased. -Mr. Collamer regarded Gen. Busk as the type of American statesmanship, in con tradistinction to the. European standard.. Senator .Gwin; in an able and analytic re view looked- upon Rusk as more, like John Hampden than any. man who. hag lived since, tie had the same integrity and ability, without the same advantages. Hampden cultivated himtelf' ih Homer; while Busk was like one of Homer’s heroes. Like Hampderi, he never at-■ tacked anything he did not understand ; and once having taken his position, he never lost an inch of ground. Ay! said Senatqr.Seward in continuation, ha practiced ho flattery ; and I: afn t sure tip sensi ble nian ever offered worthless adulation In him. Ho was Ihe most unambitious mau.gewnrd ever knew; 'despising art; trickery, and cunning ; and being as conipletcly, without jealousy and envy as ho vvas without fear. Such was Busk, as pictured by bis political friends, focS, and 'rivals..- A maw t.o. have so completely made- captive- all—lis Scward ad-’ mitted he made: him—must have bad more of the mens.dh'inior than falls to the common lot. If be bad failings, said Houston, they were less than those of .other men ; while his iialure and service were far superior. . „ , : ; . On the 11th iust.’, by The IteV.
