The eulivium of Mr. ADAMS is made in
the facts of his life, which the Senator

strikingly stated, that from early tnanhood

publienervice. For a period of more'
Mao fifty years, from the time of his first
appointment as minister abroad, under
Washington to his last election to the
Mouse of Representatives by the people of
his,mitive district, he has been constantly
rotaiNd in the public service, and that, not
by ditti` , favor of a Sovereign, or by heretli

the eulogy.,of the illustrious deceased.—

THE FUNERAL OF MR. ADAMS
WAsititsorms, Feb. 26, 1848.
This day has been devoted to the honor
of one of the greatest of our race, now no
more to guide or counsel us on earth. The
military companies were out, at an early
hour parading the streets. The whole
length of Pennsylvania Avenue was a con
tinuous string of mourning appendages.—
All the hotels and public buildings had flags
at half-mast. Black Muslin hung in pro
fuse folds from the hotel windows. Jack
son Hall had its flag at half-mast, and
showed the weeds of woe. The shops
were generally closed, and covered with
black muslin. The public buildings were
also in mourning, and every thing spoke a
nation's grief at the sad calamity that has
befallen us. From the lamp, elevated a
hundred feet above the dome of the Capi
tol, flew a black streamer, while the pillars
and ornaments of the Capitol were begirt
with black. The flags of both Houses
were at half-mast all day.
At nearly one o'clock the body was
brought into the House of Representatives.
and placed in Iront of the speaker's chair,
the friends of the deceased, mourners, Atm.,
ite.,"surrounding it.
The Hall was clothed in the deepest
mourning, the chair of Mr. Adams was va
rant, and with the desk in mourning._
Massive folds of black crape hung over the
Speaker's chair, completely covering up
the large curtains surrouviding it. rite
fill length portraits of Warhiugton -and La
Fayette, friends and acquaintances of the
deceased, were appropriately in mourning:
The clock over the centre of the door was,
surrounded with crape, and the recording
genius of time above it rose from chistered
mourning, as if she wept at the death of
her noblest son. . The mace of the Ser
geant at Arms was veiled in mourning, as
if eves power itself paused in the exercise
of its functions to pay a tribute to its most
virtuous, wise, and prudent servant. All
was in keeping with the deep and melan
choly spirit of mourning which darkened
every heart. There are times when thae
things are worse than mockery, but to-day
awns sincere, and the heart of every man.
woman and child-responded,' in dark and
melancholy musings, to these outward
signs of woe. ,
The audience in the Halt was such as is
seldom seen together. Oa the right of die
Speaker sat the President 'of the United
States, on his left sat the Vice' President
of the United States, and President of the
Senate. In front of the Speaker's chair
sat the entire Cabinet. Medlars, Buchanan,
Walker, Marcy, Mason, Johnson and
Cliffind, with the President's Private Sec
retary. The whole Bench of the Supreme
Court of the United States were in attend
ance, with the exception, I believe, of the
Chief Justice. The foreign Ministerth"
particularly the Prussian Minister, were
conspicuous for their splendid dresses.
The military also were largely represent-
ed. Among others, I noticed Gens. Jones,
Quitman, Shields, Col. Harney, &c.
noticed also several Commodores of the
Navy. Among the pall bearers present'
were Messrs. Calhoun, Benton, and Ins:,
lice M'Lcan. Mr. Webster came in with
Mr. Davis as chief of the mourners. Thai
domestic calamities which he has recently
endured, the sorrowful feelings of the oc
casion, added a deeper shade to the
dark outline of his features. Mrs. Math
son, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Bodisco, Mrs.
Polk, &e., &c., were in the ladies' gallery
on the right of the Speaker.
The R'.ligious exercises were conduct
ed by Rev. Mr. Gino.cv, Chaplain of the
House. Mr. Gorky is an eloquent speak
er and his sermon was able and appropri
ate. The sermon in its simple eloquence,
expressive character, and in its touching
appeals to the audieriee to imitate our de
ceased friend, was a model worthy of imi
tation. The text from which Mr. Gurley
preached was taken from Job I 1 th chapter
l'ith verse.. Before the sermon Mr. Gur
ley read a portion of scripture from Job,
and offered up a fervent prayer.
The body was interred in the Congress
ional Burying Ground, there to remain
until it it is taken to Massachusetts.
The Funeral Car, which was built by
Mr. J. F. Harvey, had a canopy covered
black velvet. It was surmounted with a
spread eagle covered with crape. The car
was drawn by six white horses, led by as
many grooms, the horses and leaders be
ing in sable attire.
The coffin, which was made by Messrs.
Lee & Espy, was covered with 'black vel
vet and ornamented with silver lace. The
silver breastplate, manufactured by Mr. S.
Masi, presented the following inscription :
Joon Qtrixer ADAMS,

An inhabitant of Massachumetts, July 11, 1767
Died •
A Citizen of the United States,
In the Capitol of Washington,
February 23, 1848;
Having served hie Country for Half a Cautery,
And
Enjoyed its Highest Honors
The procession moved from the Capitol
in good order. No accident occurred, that
we have heard of, during the day.
MR. ADAXB.—The Salem (Mass.) Re
gister, gives the following notice of Mr.
Admits :
The habits of Mr. Adams were pure,
simple, and unostentatious, even to awk
wardness. He always rose before day,
and when in health t , made his own fire.—
Ile used great exerhee, and was peculiar
ly fond of bathing swimming. Nu
one ever was inure industrious or sacrificed
less of his time. He" was one of the most
proliAc writers of the age.
Ilia journal, which he kept from early
life, and which embodies all his converse-
lions with; distinguished men .of his own
end, oth e r countries, is, no doubt, the moat
veleable document in being, and a.richeri
legacy to his children than the ample for
tune he leaves. This fortune is not the
result of a niggardly economy, (for Mr. A.
always spent more than his odicial income,)
but of two successful speculations, and a
great rise in value of Ins patrimonial estates.
Mr. Adams leaves also copies of every
letter he ever wrote, and among his volu
i ntinotts productions are most able eulogies
on Madison, Monroe and Lafayette.
Mr. Adams leaves a widow, to whom
he was married in London, in 1797. She
was the daughter of ('ol. Joshua Johnson,
then consul at London. and the niece of
Gov. Johnson. of Maryland, a Judge of
the Supreme Court of the U. States, and a
signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Mr. Adams leaves also his youngest son.'
Charles I'., who married a daughter oi l
lion. Peter C. Brooks, of Boston, and
who has several children; and the widow
of his eldest son, John, (who is also the
niece of Mrs. Adams) with one or two
children. Ile owned and occupied the
mansion of his father in Quiney.—.Sauts

The English steamer Dee arrived at Ship

16th Instant—four days later than previous
aeminntie.
The courier of the English Legation had
arrived at Vera Cruz withadvices from the
city of Mexico to the 13th. The Ameri
can-Star of the 11th, published in the cap
ital, contains an official announcement that
the Treaty of Peace had been concluded.
Attached to thia_docunient is the signature
of Senor Roes. Mexican Minister of For
eign Relations.
Intelligence from Queretaro up to the I ilth
instant stares that there was still no quo
rum of Congress.
A meeting of Deputies was held on the
7th, at which twenty-four were present. A
majority of these declared in favor of peace.
Gen. Lane reached the city , of Mexico
from Orizaba on the tOth instant without
having met with any further adventures
than have already been noticed.

.Pena has published a letter which
state* that the Government in Queretaro
has resolved, in agreement with Geo. Scott
upon the imprisonment of Seta Anna, as the
best means of removing the only obstacle
to the conclusion of's peace.
There was much apitniton at Quereta
ro. Commerce was reviving, and the gen
eral opinion there was that a peace would
soon be concluded.
GENERAL SCOTT AND 1118 ARMY.
The Columbia (B. C.)Chroniele says:
Front distinguished officer of the Uni.
ted State* Army. who reached Columbia
last evening, we learn that the army is of
opinion that the terms Agreed upon be
tween Mr. Trist and- the- Cognise of QUO"
retaro, will and must lead to a peace.
. As 4
' regards the feeling of the army,.
one and all, towards Gen. Scott,- he says;
Gen. Scott is considered by the officers of
the army, the great Captain of the age. Me
has not only their unbounded 'coiffidenee,
but he is iu the hearts of his soldiers. It
is his habit to receive the mutilated and
care-worn soldiers-into his presence; when
officers of the army are denied; adminis
tering to their necessities, not only by his
influence, but by his purse helping them to
return to their homes. In short, he-has
been their father as well as their General.
Not one who has ever served under him,
will refuse to follow where he may lead.
There seems to prevail an impression
through the United States, that divisions in
the army have been, to some extent, the
result of the arrest of Gene. Pillow and
Worth. So far from it, there never has
been greater unanimity than at present.
The circumstance was not even a nine
day's wonder. The army is a perfect
nit in sentiment. Its discipline and har-
mony have never been more complete.
The known justice of Gen. Scott would
be conviction to every officer in the army,
of the military propriety of all his acts; and
the arrest of any officer'', however high in
rank, from any known breach of military
discipline, would cause no more surprise
than that of any subaltern fora like offence.
THE SCOTT AND WORTH DIFFICULTY:-.
The New Orleans Delta of the 15th instant
says :
"We shall publish in to-morrow's Delta
the correspondence between Gene. Worth
and Scott, which led to the arrest of the
former and the suspension of the latter.
They are interesting documents, and have
never been published before. In reference
to this difficulty we may remark that the
officent late from the capital all agree that
there are no parties in the army, as has
been tepresented, in regard to the differen
ces between the commander-in-chief and
the subordinates ; that Gen. Scott is sus
tained by the whole army; and that his sus
pension will be received with much con
cern and chagrin by officers and men."
REAUING THE Biar.E.—The venerable
John Quincy Adams recently stated to a
friend, that ever since he was thirty years
old, he had been accustomed, among the
first things, to read the Bible every morn
ing. He has read seven different versions
in the German, French, Greek and Latin
languages, besides various English trans
lations.

Trist, and varians are the sia•eulation■ as to the
probable action of the Senate. The general on-
prrssi oil, however, acorns to be that the Treaty will
be ratified. The Nitional Intelligence of Tues
dal urges its ratincation, and gives the following
as the leadi ogfritures of the Treaty:
1.. The)vetoration of Peace betiveen the
Republica of the United States and Mex•
ico.

which will include within the hounds of

All this "aid and comfort" cannot fail to encour

possessed by Mexican Generals that while they
were opposing Gen. Tnylor and Scott in front
their own Administration was firing upon their
rear, could not fail to animate their efforts and
cheer their hopes.
CONGRESS.—In consequence of the dent
and funeral obsequies of Mr. Ansms, Congress
did not sit during last week. On Monday both
houses crannied theiraesiiiiins:
ru the Senate, Mr. Benton offered a resolution
calling for the proceedings of the Court Martial in
the case of Lt. Col Frement. After anion ilesul.
tory debate, the Senate went into Executive Ses
sion.
The House spent the day in discussing the Gen
eral Appropriation Bill.
COMPLIMENT.—On .Monday, in the
House, a resolution was unanimously adopted,
granting the tanking privilege to Mrs. Loviss
Curaaat Si ADAMS, widow olio:din Quincy Ad•

.7rPreparations are' being made in Philadel
phia, New York, ace. to receive with appropriate
honors, the nunsins ot"-Afr —Ankles, as they pass
through those places on their way to Mossachwictia.
A • NOBLE MOTHER.—The Rev. Mr. Cu e
mir, in pronouncing the funeral discourse on the
occasion of Mr. Ansx's tealth, stated' that the
mother of Mr. Adams, in 1778, wrote to him
while absent, when a youth, in these words:
"Great learning and superior abilities,
should you ever posess them, will be of
little value and small estimation, unlebs vir
tue, honor, truth and integrity are added to
them. Adhere to those religtoue sentiments
end principles which were early , instilled
into your mind. and remember that you
are accountable to your maker for all your
words and actions.' She adds in the same
letter: "dear as you are to me, I would
much rather you should have found your
grave in the ocean you have crossed, than
see you an immoral, profligate or graceless
child."

hereby certify, that I have been troubled
with the Asthma for about twenty years.
Last November, when I began taking Itts.
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, 1 had been
unable to do anything fur several months,
and had not,except a very few nights, been
able to rest in my bed. Almost as soon
as I began to take it, I felt relieved. A
few returns of the Asthma, which I have
had in that time, were almost immediately
removed by taking the Balsam. I rest'
well, and my health is, and has been for
months, better than at any time Previous
for many years. I cheerfully recommend'
this medicine to all who are similarly of-,
dieted. GEO. W. INGERSON.

by 'driving. out alLipipurities and feat humming

sought for but in vain until the discovery of Dr.
Drake's Panacea. It is Mild and side but certain
and efficacious in its operation, and cannot posit'
bly injuse the most delicate constitution. We
would earnestly recommend those afflicted to give
it a trial—and we belive they will not have occa
sion to regret it. The system is cleansed and
strengthened, the ulcers on the lungs are heated,
and the patients gradually regain their usual
h end th and trength. Read tbe fol le is in g testimony:
Philadelphia, Dde. 14th, 1547.
Dat. Sin:—ln reply to your question respect
ing the use of Dr. Drake's Panacea, I will say,
that although a perfect disbeliever in the existence
of a Panacea, or cure for all diseases, however, vat.
uable it may be in certain conditions of the sys
torn, still I have believed that a cure for 000.
gumption would be discovered sooner or later, and
curiosity led me to try your medicine in two very
inveterate cases. They were pronounced by the
attending physicians to be eeriness': Colllllfllll.
TlOlll, and abandoned by them as incurable. One
of the persons - had been under the treatment of '
several very able practitioners for a - number of
years, and
. they said she had "old fisighioned Cow I
nenprio* eritnbinal with &Wake' and that she
might linger for sometime, 'but could not, be per
manently relieved. In both cases the affect of the
Panacea hos been most gratifying. Only lour or
five bottles weie used by one of the persons beim* I
she began to improve rapidly. The other took
about ten. I will only add that familiar as I ana,
w.th consumption by inheritance and by. eaten
sive observation as a study, and knowing also the
injurious!ffiects in nine rases out of ten of tar,
honeset, and other vegetable tonics, as well as
of many of Cie expectorants and sedatives, I
should never have recommended the use of Dr.
Drake's l'anacen if I had not. been acquainted
with the ingredients. Suffice it to say that these
are recommended by oar most popular and scien
tific pbysiciani, and in their present combined
state form probably the best 'Hera* e that has
ever been made. The cure is in accordance with
a theory of Coiniumption - broached in France a
few years ago by one of hermost eminent %lei.
tars on medicine, and now established by facts
which admit of no dispute. Very respectfully
yours, L. C. GUNN.
To use the language of another, "Dr. Drake's
Panacea is always salutary in its effects—never
injurious. It is not an Opiate—it is not an Ex
pectorant. It is not intended to lull the invalid
into a fatal security. It is a great remedy —a
