EULOGY
HON. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS,
Delivered at the Baklthtonlan lentnate)
WASHINUTON, JULY 3, 1961,
BY JOHN W. FORNEY.
Immediately after intelligence of the death
of Senator DOUGLAS was received in Wash-
ogton, a meeting of his• friends and admirers
was held there, to determine upon the beat
mode of honoring his Memory. A Committee
then formed, of which the.lion. Jour; B. Hes-
KIN was Chairman, and Joint J. McEi..troax,
Esq., Secretary, decided upon inviting Col.
Fortran' to deliver an Oration or Eulogy upon
the great departed, and the Lecture Hall of
the Smithsonian Institute was kindly granted
as the moat suitable auditorium.
At night o'clock upon the evening of
Wednesday, July 3d, the Hall was crowded—
the andience including representatives of nu-
merous classes of politics, with a number of
ladle'. When Professor Maar, of the
Institute, appeared, accompanied by General
C.stssitoN, Colonel FoassY, and numerous
other gentlemen, who took seats upon the
platibrm, ho was warmly•greeted.
Professor Thentir, in introducing the Hon.
J. W. Poaitzr, in a few compactand expressive
sentences, said that the place in which they
were assembled was exactly suited for tho de
livery of an estimate of Mr. DOUGLAS, because
that lamented and distinguished statesman bad
been connected with the Institute in an•oilcia
manner, and bad also personally taken great
interest in its welfare. He was arise that full
justice would bo done to the character of Mr.
Donates by Col. FORNEY, whom ho now
bogged leave to introduce to the audience.
Advancing to the lecturer's desk, COL FOR
NEY was received with great applause, which
greeted him at 'various parts of his Eulogy
He spoke as follows:
Ms. PRESIDENT HENRY, LADIES AND GENTLE-
soot :
On the eve of the anniversary of American
Union and Independence, we have assembled
In this classic hall to pay a heartfelt tribute to
the memory of a Statesman, who, in his day
and time, has conferred las ting benefits upon
his country, and who, in the hour of her ex
tremest peril, and in the prime of his life, has
been called to his anal account. Mingled with
t:
he grief which this sad event has inspired—a
grief that
.has, obliterated party prejudices
among the people of-all the loyal. States of this
Union—is the sad recollection that to-mor
row's celebration of oar national Sabbath will
.find us in the midst el an internal strife, which
threatens the overthrow of our domestic peace
and the destruction of the libertica pUrchased
by the blood of our forefathers, and consecra
ted in the deathless charter proclaimed from
Independence Hall on the Fourth Day of
July, 1776. [Applause.] •..
We have,
therefore, a double amuse to
mourn—first, in the loss of an unchallenged
and unquestioned Patriot, and next, in the
tact that, in one section of our happy coun
try, thousands of misguided men are found in-
sensible to Ml the obligations of the glorious
Past, and resolved to entitle themselves to
the scorn and detestation of mankind. Yet,
may we not congratulate ourselves - that, if
there are those reckless enough to forget the
day, and the men who made that day, immor
tal, more than twenty millions of 'people will
greet the rising of to-morrow's. sun--will bail
the eighty-filth anniversary of American Inde
pendence—with a fervor- all the more deep,
all the more religions, all the more profound
and universal, because the Republic is in im
minent danger, and the efforts sind.preyers of
all good men are demanded for its preserva
tion T [Applause.]
When the impartial historian comes to ana
lyze the character and services of Stephen A.
Douglas, he will be amazed at the wonderful
versatility of the man, the vast amount of
labor he performed, the events in which he
moved a principal actor, and the compara
tively short period of time during which he
figured upon the stage of American politica.
Volumes would be required to do justice to
the subject. How, then, can / expect, within
the decent and proper limits such an OVAL
-81072 as this, to rise to an. ordthary compre
henelon of the tinty.whlch has been assigned
to me T I must content myself with a mere
allusion to certain of the leading elements of
the character of the departed ,patriot, and
with a -genial though partial view of many of
his distinguishing traits and achievements,
such as might be anticipated from one who
loved him as a friend and believed in the ge
neral justice of his opinions. . _
Our greatest national historian, in Mama
velloan eulogy upon Andrew Jackson, hi this
very city, sixteen years ago, when he ap
proached that part of the history of the old
hero which continued to divide public opinion,
said : (i We tread on ashes where the tire is
not yet extinguished." Many of the acts of
I Stephen A. Douglas were the acts of yester
day. We can almost hear the echo of the;
shouts of the hosts in the great conflicts upon
one side,
of which he was the leader. The
theories he advocated still awaken animosities
among men; his own passions,and those ho
aroused, are yet keenly rememered. For all
this, I do not feel I approach a forbidden,
though a. Somewhat delicate, theme, when 1-
allude, in passing, to some of' his traits as a
politician. I am rather invited to this, when
I remember that within the last month tho
citizen, now President of the United
States, who was defeated by Douglas for the
Senate, in 1858, and who mounted, in 1860,
to the Presidential chair over the prostrate
banner of his former successful competitor,
directed that the armies of the Republic
should crape their colors in mourning for the
lose of his former adversary, and that the De
partments of the Government should. be closed
on the day of hie funeral at Chicago. [Great
applause.] 'am• ihrther attracted to the dis
cussion el - Donglais as apolitical leader by the
fact that, at the portals of his tomb, the whole
people of his own State, irrespective of former
differences, paid the tiablimest tribute to hii
memory—that, when he died, his worst oppo.
nents elsewhere forgot their animosities, and
that the whole body of the loyal States were
struck with sudden grief when his death was
preclaimod--struck, indeed, as if they had
lost their best, and dearest, and most cherish
ed champion. [Applause.]
What a scene is this 1 When, partisans for
got their hostility to Clay, and Jackson, and
Webster, they did so over the graves of old
men ; but here they bury the recent and the
bitter Past, from out of sight, in paying volun
tary honor to the youngest, and, for a time,
the extreinest statesmen of hie school. Let
me, therefore, with this free charter to speak
my own mind, say something of Douglas as a
leader and a Democrat.
Rep was a very thorough parttime. He be
longed to the clams who regarded the Demo
cratic party as incapable of error, and created
to rule in the administration of the Federal
Government. He was so wedded to this idea
as to look upon this 'organization as almost
infallible, and sincerely believed that it was
an aggregate of wisdom and experience supe
rior teeny political organization of early or later
times. Extending over the whole of the con
tinent, and holding.its devotees with almost
Masonic attachment, it generally prevailed
against all odds, and finally became so strong
as to absorb moat other organizations. As an
oracle of this party, Judge. Douglas was fre
quently severe:upon his opponents, and, by
his severity, provoked a retaliatory spirit
that often bordered upon personal hatred. Yet,
I think hill faith in what la known as the organi
zation of the Democratic party tailed him
before his death: When he saw the Southern
leaders . poweritil enough, with the aid of this
organization, to drive Mr. Buchanan from the
path of duty into the path of depravity ; to
make measures like Lecompton a party test,
and finally to bring .to a. candidate tor the
Presidency, whose object was unquestionably
the disruption of the Government, hundreds
of thousands of Democratic votes, be must
have felt that the prestige of the Democracy
had gone, never-to be restored-until its leaders
can resurrect . the great examples, and reani
mate the great truths which they have latterly
insanely rieglected. [Applause.] It he were
no* "alive, and could see the name of this
powerful partly flagrantly used as a cloak for
treason even ;in portions of the Free s States, he
would, to my opinion, feet that it was time to
set aside a•machine which has become so
potent an ongine of individual and general
digester. - • '
He was pre-eminently and always a national
man. This was one.reasein of his consistent
championship of the Southern people. He
shrank instinctively from what be called sec
tionalism. He was, undoubtedly, ambitions,
and he bad an undoubted riglit to 'be ambi
tious. Be believed that ,the election. * el any
President by a solid Northern or a solid
Southern vote would "be the parent of serious

UPON THE
internal strilb. Born in cold New England,
he cultivated from early life the warmest rela
tions with the Slave States, and at one time
waa their chiefeat favorite , The Southern po
liticians loved him for many things—lot his
coarse in the Mexican War, and in the annex
ation of Texas; for his opposition to the Wil
mot Proviso ; for his speeches on the Compro
mise measures, and his subsequent gallant
bearing when assailed by the turbulent popu
lace of Chicago; for his aid in the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, and for his repeated
vladleations of that meateire before the peo-
pie. No Northern public man, since the com. I
mencement of the anti•slavety agitation,
has been so steadily and efficiently. the
friend of the South. It was only when
sternly adhering to his reading of the ginsas-
Nebraska biU, he refused to stultify himself
by accepting the 'monstrous construction of
that measure given to it by ultra Southern
men, that he began to lose their confidende.
From that hour all his sacrifices and services
in• their behalf were studiously forgotten.
Their compliments wore exchanged for curses,
their praises for proscriptions ; and it Is a me
lancholy comment upon the boasted intelli
gence, of the Southern people, that so many,
'thonsandis permitted - themselves todeisett the
great, leader, only because that leader would,
not himielf desert :the troth and degrade his
manhood. [Great applause.] Much has been
said by heated partisans in regard to tho re
peal of the Missouri Compromise. It is al
leged, on' the ono hand, that bat for that woi
should have hid - no Republican party," and on
the other, that if ho had adhered to that,Com
promise the Union itself would have stood the
shock of battle and of time. , But, hoWever
men may differ,
when they come to discuss
this portion of the record of our departed
friend, all most agree - .that the agitation
which followed the enactment of the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill led to the exposure of the
plans of the DiBIIIIIOIIIBtB, and enabled the
American people to realize that these plans
had been many years in course of prepare.
tion. If Judge Douglas, following the • lead
of these men, bad accepted their construction
of that measure, then the condemnation'
heaped upon him would have been just; but
when, with heroic fortitude and persistence„
he maintained the principle be avowed When ,
discussing the measure itself before it-became
a law, and, rather than yield its endured the nn=
paralleled persecution of the Administration
of Mr. Buchanan ; and "when he demanded its
recognition tied - re-endorsement by the Na.
.tional Convention of which he was the nomi.
nee in 18GO, he gave the highest evidence of
his patriotism and bia'sincerity. In the last'
Congress of the United States an unconscious
tribute was paid to his chaiacter by the enact
ment of three territorial - bills in which the
doctrine of non-intervention with slavery in
the Territories—the vital spifit of the Kansas-
Nebraska bill—was recognized by the decided
vote of both Houses.
And how did he bear himself' when his
former familiars and friends in the South
turned from him, first with displeasure, and
afterwards with indignation and scorn? Did
he respond to their criminations? Did he re
taliate their misrepresentations? No. Put
forward as the regular Democratic candidate
for president in 1880, be took the field to save
them from the fate which has since overtaken
them. Denounced by his assailants as afraid
to advocate his opinions in the Slave States,
he boldly threw himself among the Southern
people, and challenged universal admiration.
by the dignity, the candor, arid the - eloquence
of his arguments. His replies to the cotebrated Norfolk questions were the index of
his whole canyasa in that never.to-be-forgotten
year. Applauded by the Republicans and
the Northern -Democrats as an extraordinary
exhibition of moral courage, and execrated by
the Disnnionists as a. deliberate defiance of
their threats, he never. abandoned the high
position thus assumed, but maintained his on
ward march. Beginning at Norfolk in August,
and 'pursuing his way through North Caro
lina, returning to Virginia, thence to - Mary-.
latid, and so through Penimlvaula, at '
every point greeted by thousands, and ap•-•
proached by servile politicians who attempted.
to turn him from his text and to seduce him
from his duty ; yet he invariably spoke the
same language and advocated - the same doc
trine. It was not for the South - alone, but
for the country, that he pleaded. ' [Applause.]
As an evidence of his singular auselflehneas, I
am authorized to, relate an incident by one
who accompanied him through alithiise trying,
scenes. He never had fell confidence , in, the•
probability of hie election to-the Presidency,
bat ho was - buoyed up by the faith that was in
him, strengthened by the consciousness that
if he did not live to enjoy the 'fruits of his
labors, others would do so ; and he seemed to
be happy in the reflection that he was laboring
not for himself, but for the peace, the pros
perity, the perpetuity of the Republic.. On
the morning after the State elections in Penn
sylvania and Indiana, in October of this same
year, 1860, while at Cedar Rapids; lowa, he
received a despatch from the Associated Press,
based upon an editorial of my own, announcing
that both these,States had declared In favor of.
the Republican party. His friend advised him
to pause in his journey, suggesting the long
route before them, the labor, and, indeed, the
peril of the experiment, and reminding ,him
that his health might fail him before he reached
the close of his canvass. His reply is worthy
of preservation. cc '" ho said, gc Lincoln is
the next President of the United States'. I ,
have no hope and no destiny , before • me,
but .to do my best to save the Union
from, overthrow. Now, let as turn our
course to the South." [Applause.] And
to the South they went. The history. of that I
tour is yet, to be written. -.Every step of his
progress wee watched with solicitude. and stir-.
prise by the Northern people of all parties.
Although invited by such men as Alexander -
H. Stephens, of Georgia, and 'John Forsyth,.
of Alabama, then•professing tohe his warmest
friends, admonitions were thrown out that' he
would not be permitted to speak in Die Slave.
States, and more than one of the Southern:
journals invoked the spirit of the mob to "pet!
hirri'doWn. "But he was not to be deterred,of;
delayed. He was net to be put down by lit-
man power. Leming Chicago; he parsed
cessively through the States of Missouri, Kent
tacky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,: apt
Louisiana, travelling and speaking night,:mid, -
day, and returned through Mississippi, Ton-:
nesse°, and. Virginia. Wherever he appeared'
thousands greeted him, and although-levee='
tives were plenty and threats hurled at him
from the crowds, armed, men watching each
other, ready to reak into' open violence. for
and against him, he maintained the even tenor

In all this tour, not content with appealing to

appealed to the editors friendly to him to keep
up the good fight, and never rested, not
even atter, the _ . election. of Mr.. Lincoln was
ascertained, when he addressed the people of

this illustrious patriot during his Memorable
mission to the Slave States, and who have since
fallen from his standard, and are engaged
in the parricidal attempt of destroyieg . that
Union in whose behalf he labored so heroically.
I have never doubted, that • during this:cam
paign the seeds of the fatal diseme that finally
carried him off were planted' in his 'constitu
tion; He bad passed through' almost 'incon
ceivable dangers, accidents, by flood and
field, and on one occasibn came neat...toeing
his life by what was supposed to be the - act - of
an enemy who attemptedAo :throw:the . train
which carried him and his family •trom the
track. He • survived •them all to return to .
Washington. Is it any Wonder that In
his celebrated passage. with the Disunion
candidate for the Preeidency; during tile
.speciel session of April, in this year,
that with all this experience in his own
recollection and the recollection of the corm:
try, he should say that there was no cause for
this rebellion against the Government; that
all the demands of the South bad been practi
cally conceded la recent legislation, and that
the Republicans had yielded all that •the
Southern extremists had insisted upon? [Ap
plause.] And you will observe that no ono
was more earnest for paste than Mr: Douglas
at this period. An ordinary man would have
felt the insults ; and the ingratitude of the
SOuthern politiians, but Douglas, when Pre
sident Lincoln's inaugural was announced,
:gave it such a construction as proved his own
earnest desire to prevent collision. Here
again he 'displayed his singular sagacity and
boldness; for while the Republican leadens
were uncertain how to treat the first Message
of the President, he put himself forward, and
with an. Ingenuity and an audacity, too that
attracted general observation, insisted, that
Lineoln'a policy was that of an amicable
adjustment of our national differences - . [Ap
plause.] The secret is to bo found in his earnest
desire to save the people of the South from their
leaders—in other words, to keep the Union
together, and, as it were, to appeal to the men
specially interested in the prosperity of
tho new Administration,- to. adopt , the same
'course; was only when 'Sumpter - fell ; it
was only when ho perceived that , all the'ami

son at Sumpter to be provisioned that ho
threw off the tnantle of the pacificator and ap
pealed to the God of battles to decide the
great question whether we were to hive a Go-.
vernment or not. [Applause.] Now, if . his
voice had boon for war before, his appeal-tohis
friends throughout the loyal States in that
dread hour must have been ineffectual. It ho
bad faltered before the throats of the Southern
Dieunionists after his nomination for the Pre
sidency in 1860—if be bad refused to answer
the Norfolk questions as be did Sneerer them
—if he had broken up his intended journey
into the Southern States when the October
elections In Indiana and Pennsylvania made
the election ot , Mr. Lincoln a certainty—it he*
bad not grappled with Breckinridge in the
special session of the Senate and pulverized .
him [great applause] with the massive force
of trite and intellect--ot what avail would his
invocation have been when Sumpter fell? its.
would_ have been regarded as a mere instill
ment of Faction. But when he spoke for wA . ,
and for the GovernMent, millions rose at his:,
call, and the Administration telt that the
country had rallied an element to the standard
of the, Union which could never be defeated':
The most unjust of all the impUtations upon
the memory of Douglas, however, is , that cif
recent coinage and circulation. It comes ap-,
.propriately from those who followed him with
obloquy to the gretre-Litom the advocates first
' of a policy which produced a bitter alienation
between the North and the Soutb,'and now of .
secession and separation. Rejecting the last,
and probably the greatest, speech of his life—
short, it is true, bat a mine of gold in thought
and precious example—they now puttim toe-,
ward as the opponent of the righteous causedf
his country, and quote him as the defamer of .
the Goiernment, and, by consequence, as the
apologist.Of the men banded for its deatraction:

' His magnanimity was a leading characteris-•
tic: He was less permanently controlled by
party,feelings-Or persoilal prejudices than any
man I'eier knew. He was impulsive and fre
quently dealt in 'harstelnieative, but so 'gene
roui a"soul Could not nurse-his wrath to keep
it warm. If be said a bitter thing, be soon re
gretted and frankly admitted it. If he atiiick
a hard blow, the same clenched band that gave
it was promptly opened to reconcillation..This
trait was, probably, the secret of his populari
ty in society and in the Senate. In fac e t, his
manner co uld
. not be repisted. Re disarmed

and . , by his magnanimity. • [Applause.] After
the moat acrimonious debate, it was no un
common thing for him to jest with the'men
had been recently'denouncing: If be offended
like a man, he forgave like a Ged. I shall
never forget his when the electo
ral vote was read, in the-House of Represen
tatives, in Febniary last. That waa.a memo
rable scene. According to law; Vice Presi
dent Breckinridge presided. Only :three
Southern States had deserted the hag and
faith, of . their fathers. The galleries
were crowded, and some interest was excited
by the rumor. that violence was intended to
prevent the. formal proclamation, of the con
stitutional verdict of. the American people. I
looked around me to see whether certain men,
who,Continued 10 retain seats in that great
Onnvention," Senators and Repreeentatives;
With all their boasted chivalry, and horior,'and
f ootirage, could lend themselves to the studied
!denunctation of an election of the ruler of
Ilkley millions of people,--conld participate
'in all the solemn ceremonial], belonging...to
it,—could bear the vote of every. State read

preordained purpose of disrogesditig,thstkkic-•
lion, and of making it the pretext of 'a.ivar ,
Intended to convert this capital inks. a Ges- ,
henna, a Phleguthon, a very hell dik, earth.
[Applause.] The Vice President, caini, cold,'
and complacent,—for so young a mati'very
`calm, cold, and complacent,—announced every
State before the vote was read, and seemed to
be the impersonation of Senatorial rectitude
and dignity. Before him were the Senators and
Representatives from Virginia, North Carolina,
and Tennessee; States that have alnee •beetf
stolen out of the Union by the treachery or
their executives, not to speak of the Senators
from other States who lived under a system of
successful 'terrorism all aiding bathe care.:

eye was turned upon him. Taking jila seat
between Senators Seward and Lane,* soli°

his country. .It.in.the near future there was •
a dagger and a bowl for that oonntry, his hand
was not ready to drive the ono or to drug the

The experience of a. public man, especially
One engaged in American polities, is nearly
always a thankless and' painful experience.
There have been Manrinetances of the truth

'exceptional ,cases of jefferson, Washington,
and Jackson, great leaders have
beeri,properly appreciated by the people they,
have served- Much es we prate of the er:lr

it is a fact, a thousand times vindicated, that
the most faithful of our representative men,
after having given their best years to their
Country; have died poor. Absorbed in gene
ral duties - , they can afford to• give little time

A. Douglas will reinse to say that at

fin . the great commercial tempest of 1867,
jtidge Douglas would have died immensely
;rich; but it ought to be remembered that his
:possessions were :the result rather of happy
and sudden purchaaes, than of any studied
:purpose of promoting his • own welfare. He
;was not a speculator. Liberal to a -fault,
:ready ,to serve his friends at whatever risk,
prominent in every. public charity, he never
gave a vote in Congress that could be tortured
his Most ingenious enemy into a selfish
!Vote. [Groat applause.] One of the boldest
:advocates of every great improvement, the
earnest supporter of measures assailed in cer
tain qnaiters as extravagant, but which looked

nication, and the encouragement of overland
mail routes to bind the two great seaboards
together—it is eminently creditable that, al
though bitterly assailed for his opinions, no
opponent could make and maintain an accusa
tion affecting , his Personal integrity. Other
Men in our past public councils—acme in the
Cabinet and some •in Congress—have been
accused 'of corruption, and the accusation has
I been believed, and sometimes proved; but it
I will be one of the - brightest pages in the re.
cords of Douglas that, in supporting what ho
conceived to be the cause' of his country, he
forgot himself; and, although surrounded with
temptations, and enabled to take advantage of
many alluricigzopportanities to make himself
a wealthy man, he left the stage of life with
no other patrimony than , his -illustrious fame.
[Great applause.] • -
He was neither a copyist nor an imitator:
lie -never waited until others bad spoken: on
a great question. Nothing seemed intricate.
or •abstruse ••• to him.- The Most embarrassing
issues had,. no terrors in his. eyes. Thus he.
defended. General Jaekson's.case in resistitig
the civil , process for the purpose of saving a
great city—an example that may be com
mended, to the casuists of our own day in a
neighboring State, who think the Law can be
mule a cover - for treason, and the Judiciary I
the right arm of , rebellion. Thus he con
fronted
John Quincy - Adams on 'the disputed
boundary- of Texas, by quoting a - forgotten I
dsspateh written years before, while that exi

the annexation of Texas he aided to unravel-a

dency of the Compromise Measures, he almost,
divided the honors equally with ()lay, Weeder,

Congressional band that refused to respond to
the:exactions of the Disunionists 'on the Kan
sas question nearly four years ago. The first
called was that type of the gentleman, the
soldier, and the statesman, Thomas L. Harris,'
of Illinois. I think I can see his pale face
and flashing eye now, as he almost staggered,
stricken with wasting disease, to his seat in
the hall of, the House of Representatives. . I
can .almost hear his manly voice protesting
against the wrong under which a great party
reelod'to its basting - overthrow. He lived long
enough to prove his more than human courage,
and-lett us just before his repeated prophecies
came near thrill' "fulfilment. The next sum..
moned to the eternal bar was Diva) C. -
BRODERICK, of California. God had stamped
him fora leader. Too virtuous to be bribed,
too fearless to falter; too disinterested to. be
corruptly ambitious, he sleeps on the :breezy
hills that overlook the proud metropolis•of his
adopted State, within tho sound of the anthem
of the sea, surrounded by a population who
loied him Bring and.. mourn him.. dead.
[Applause.] Slaughtered for his opinicims,
deliberately marked out for sacrifice, his faro
well words were a sad presage to the' events
of which his death was the equally sad begin
ning ; gc _They have killed me because I was
'opposed-to the extensionof Slavery and a
cerrnptiAdininistratlon." - -
And:then, saddest loss of all, comes the
death of the man, who, however criticised
during his eventful struggle with Power, was
the leader of the most heroic, disinterested
protest against political crime in high places
our Now World has ever known. The men
engaged, with Douglas, in this protest, were
Democrats whose whole experience had been"!
tbat of close relationship with Southern states-
men, and that of earnest devotion to Southern
rights. When they took up arms 'against - their
party organization, it was not without relric
tance. When they arrayed themselves against '
an, Administration new in office, and in the
fall possession of undisposed-of patronage,
they did not do so without counting the cost
of the experiment. They were reminded of
others, in bygone days, who lad "grappled
with power and had fallen urider'its 'severe,
displeasure ; but they were men`of hen nerve
and conscientious convictions.: They felt that,
whatever might happen to 'them; the truths
they advocated must triumph, and so they
persevered till the whole work of destiny was ,
completed. [Applause.]
The three characters alluded to wore elm : ,
ractera of extraordinary .eridurance, fitte4 to
give, counsel to common party leaders; cre
ated for the bitterest responsibilities of the
scenes in which they lived.- They began their
movement, lull of determination ; they closed
their connection with it by offering their Uvek
as an evidence of their sincerity. -
I am not accustomed to the habit of studied
eulogy. Realizing, profoundly, - the loss of
our great national leader, who fell in the prime
of life, and at a moment when he would have
been most effective to defend the Administra
tion of the General Government against the
attacks of secret and of open enemies, and;
with no disposition to invade the sanctity of
that home of,which he was the household: god,
I can only repeat in conclusion the appropriate
lines of Walter Scott:, -
" Ile is gone on the mountain,
He is iost to the forest, -
Like a summer-dried fountain,
When,oar need was the sorest.
The font, reappearing,
From the rain drops shall borrow,
Bat to us comedno cheering—
No Douglas to-morrow.
" The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are hoary,
But the voice' of the weeper
Wails Manhood in glory.
The autumn winds, rushing,
Waft the leaves that are nearest,
Bat our flower wall In flashing
• When•blighting was nearest: "
" Fleet toot on the corral,
Sage counsel in - cumber,
Red hand in the foray,
How sound , ta thy slumber !
Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam.ou the river,
Like the bubble ob.the fountain,
Thou art gone, L arid 'forever !"
•
The delivery. of this Eulogy occupied an
hour. At its close, numerous ladies and gen
tlemen gathered around Colonel FORNEY, very
warmly expressing their approbation of his
estimate of the character of Senator Donanss.
The Lecture Room has rarely been so much

„Washington, July 12, 1861
Since I lad wrote you; the uniform quiet of our
camp has been disturbed by ivory melancholy
and painful affair, restating in ..the death of 'ene
Mall, and the'woundlng of another. 'on Tuesday
Morning last we marohed to the Washington
arsenal, a distance of aboat six miles, to have our
muskets eiehanged. The day was very warm,
and the colonel, desiring to rest and refresh the
Men, made a halt for about half an hoar. During'
Wilful*, some of
: the men, taking , advantage of
the opportunity, went In pursuit of the soldier's
greatest enemy-whisky. _Upon reaching our.
quarters, its innuendo could be plainly seen. Some
of the members of companies II and K, who occupy
the extreme left of the encampment, got into a,
ditfortity, during which one of Company K received'
a bayonet wound in the back, and one :
of Company' .
BB a ball in the side. Three shots, it is alleged,
were tired from the tents of Company K, one of
which lodged in the aide of
.Bergeant Hanfkolz, of
Company B, who was in no way concerned in the
dtstnrbsnoe. lie was conveyed to the Washington
Hospital, where he lingered till noon on Wednes
day: llis body was conveyed to Philadelphia yes
terday, in charge of Capt. Tatho, a corporal, and
two men. Deceased was a very quiet and inoffen- .
.slue Man, and hie =timely death is regretted
thithighout the regiment. He leaves a wife and
Ave small children. Two men of Company K,
one being the into.' who received the bayonet
wound, ere now in irons, charged with having Iced
their muskets daring the melee. A court of in
quiry will be instituted, and if the evidence will
warrant it, they will be handed over to the crimi
nal court for trial.
We have had a great many visitore this week
from Philadelphia Samuel Sparing, Brq ,of the
Tradeensen'i Bank, .st;sid in 'camp with us for
several days, and was very much pleased with his
visit Messrs John Reilly, Geo. Road, Samuel A:
