Speaking of the South Carolina (Dem ocratic) movement, to organize a “Union Re form Party,” tho Gazette rays: And let us i-v.m suppose that such a move ment as this should be produtive of present benefit, the evil* which would be caused eventually, would certainly make ns to regret , that for a little present advantage we had sac rificed tho fntnre prosperity of onr country, for if we bnt hold fast to the doctrines of the Democratic party, they are of such a character as must finally triumph, and we can look for ward to the day whoa every violated principle of onr Constitution will be reinstated in its pristine glory. - - [We rather admire the man's pluck.

THE DAO RANGE REPORTER, (DEM.) In an article headed “Mr. H. I. Kimball,"says: Mr. Kimball chooses to invest large sums of money in oar midst, and thus bnild np Geor gia enterprise and increase the wealth of the State, by transfering capital from abroad to this impoverished old Commonwealth, does # h© not deserve the personal respect find en- ooflragement of every good citizen? If Mr. Kimball clioocs to bo a Republican, liaving :been trained up in that way from his infancy, is he not as much injured by Republican leg islation as anybody else? He may think him- self right in his political views, or he may care 4 bnt very little about political matters, but it is evident that he takes greater in terest in the material prosperity of his adop ted State than hundreds of men horned and raised bore. His contributions to tho agricul tural advancement of Georgia have been lav ish, and are doing much to excite the spirit of emulation and competition among the tillers of the soil. [This is rather clever, coming as it does from one of the most rabid, proscriptive Democratic journals iu the State; and it contains a timely rebuke to those “true Georgians” who have nothing in the grand old State but their par sons, and who, although they are doing noth ing to lmild up the State, assume that they are the State because they happen to have a tem- .porory boarding house or bed room within its ;geograpbicai limits’] THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER (DEM.)

That an engrossed copy of these reso lutions bo fowarded by tbe Secretary to the family of the deceased. In offering the above Mr. WELCH said: In presenting these resolutions, I do not do it with a view of pronouncing a eulogy on the life and services of our deceased and lamented Senator. I leave that pleasing but melancholy doty to others better qualified, to those who were acquainted with him in the common walks of life, as a husband, father, neighbor and citizen. I only knew him as a public man, as a member of tho Convention that framed the late State Constitution—in that he exerted no small influence—and as one of this body. As a Senator, it is well known he was always interested in and attentive to the busi ness of legislation, always earnest and consci- . * In Um Mr. special order for Wednesday next. Mr. IHGBEE moved to adjourn. Lost Mr. CANDLER wauted immediate action on the resolution. Mr. BROCK moved to strike oat the uame of B. E. Lester. On a division, the motion to refer it to tbe Committee on Elections was lost, and by 17 to 16, it was made the special order for Wednes day next. On motion, the second reading of bills was proceeded with. Tbe Militia bill was referred to tbe Military Committee. The bill to change tbe time of bolding Su perior Conrt in Bibb coanty was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Tbe bill to extend aid to the Soath Georgia and Florida Railroad Company was referred to the Committee on Internal Improvements.

He had fulfilled his mission; his works would follow him, and he thought that tho angels of God would rejoice to receive him among the spirits of the just made per- i cL Mr. BROCK, in a sterling, straightforward. I manly speech, professed himself an admirer pect of Mr. Adkins, and willing to die<is he did— ui J for the cause. HIGBEE, in a neat little speech, fol lowed, and Mr. SHERMAN related the partic- his memory which the blind political pas sions of the pnsent day may deny him. qlara of the last conversation he had ator Adkins. Our space will not permit us to give in full While in life, liis political enemies could not J the remarks of these gentlemen, which were deny him the praise of sincerity in bis con victions and honesty in his purposes. They could not accuse him of anything tending to dishonor or selfishness, however much they may have differed from him in liis political ideas. In this, perhaps unconsciously, they accorded him praise of the highest order; for it is the custom of the present day to ascrib anything but honesty and disinterestedness to public men. But they knew not half his vir tues. Those virtues could be wholly known* only to those of bis own domestic circle and to his more intimate friends. They knew that the kindness of heart, and ardent benevolence and deep piety, which were his most noble characteristics; were of that modest class of qualities that are seldom ajiparent to tho every-day world, and for which that world gives their possessors little credit Of the manner and canse of his death I shall iy but little, for upon such a solemn occasion it is not fit to revive animosities or provoke discussion. Mr. President it, is sufficient to say, If ever man died a sacrifice to principle, that man was Joseph Adkins. Disguise as we may, he died because he would not be the slave of error and wrong; and if is a shame upon our State and a stigma upon our admin istration of tbe Ijiwf, that his murderers walk abroad to-day fr*e, and, if not undetected, at least unpunished. Bat, thank God, the inno cent blood of the murdered Adkins which Las so long cned from the ground, is at last bear ing frnit, and the dawn of that day is visible when there shall be no more assassinations for opinions* sake: where the reign of law and order shall be inaugurated, and person, prop erty, shall be protected, and men, be they Re publicans or Democrats, may walk abroad and at all times and places, and upon all fij occasions proclaim their opinions m the face of the world and the presence of high heaven. He is gone, ne has finished his course on earth, but the great work to which be devoted so many hours of patient thought, is not yet finished. The high aim of his life, that to which be brought all the energies of his na ture, which enlisted the warm sympathies of noble soul, was to have hi a country free and all her people equal to have a land Where manhood reign* alone And every citizen taking. Freedom has been obtained but freedom has et been secured, and will not be secured all onr people shall have the full enjoy ment of perfect equality by the law and before the law. Freedom withont secured equality right is a delusion and snare, and although in his deeds a riah legacy is bequeathed which we-will always cherish with pride and with honor, yet, with this legacy is coupled a responsibility, and that is to proceed with the work in which he so zealously engaged. So complete it that l foundation-stone to turret, in all its parts and designs, there shall be no fault and no blemish, that the eyes of the critic can dis cover no defect, and the heart of patriot Adkins desire no change. So complete it, that when finished it will meet with the approbation of all good men, and the approval of a just God. Mr. President: He has gone. That frail tene ment of clay »o lately moving among ns is mingling with its dindred dust. In all the coming years of time so long as patriotism and freedom have nn.advocate, his name will be handed down from generation to generation; and while his countrymen linger around his consecrated grave, their aspiration will ascend te Heaven, that a kind Providence wlf * rule* over th<rjVtestinies of nations niy grant to our belovedconntry many more such men. Mr. DUNNING, saie he would recite a few tacts of a conversation which he held with Mr. Adkins in Washington. It was after the Legislature had ad j owned and Mr. Dunning met him one day on Pennsylvania Avenue, af ter greeting Mr. A, said that he had been there for two weeks, he had seen the various departments of the Government, had visited * ’ecta of national interest, had done all id for tlie cause, and his mission being ended, be wished to go borne, but bo could not, dare not Mr. Dunning expressed his as tonishment, and asked the reason. Mr. Ad kins said he knew the spirit that animated a large portion of the citizens of his section; he spoke of the persecutions, and the insults he had undergone, the threats that had been made, and said he had every reason to believe, iu fact he could not bo mistaken, every feeling of nature toid him that if he returned to his most interesting. Mr. SPEER moved that as a further mark of respect, the Senate do now adjourn. And the Senate adjonrned until 10 a. h., to morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Whatever may be said, remarked Mr. Dunning, of pre sentments, here was one that was a fac t, a cose Proven, and he might casually refer to another. [e should never forget how much impressed, hen Mr. even agitated he (the speaker) was wl Adkins announced that he was going home. He was impressed that all the worst of the forebodings that had been mentioned would be realized. It was a fearful wrong, that as sassination for opinion’s sake, in his own dis trict, in bis own town, and what was worse, no power had yet been found to bring the offend ers to jnstice. The crime was a stain on the escutcheon of Georgia. He (Mr. Donning) was glad that honorable mention had been made of Mr. Adkins* name, who was ever anx ious to advance reform and civilization. His seat, bis desk now draped in mourning, the place where he had sat, written and spoken, were there, but he was gone. His name was now the subject of mournful mention; they all regretted his absence, and they should be careful to further the interests and measures he advocated, and cherish his memflry.

Also a idea fen remarks on tho occasion. He n,;n ti... nut those lie considered injured or oppressed. He was always an earnest nod consistent advocate of universal suffrage, popular education, and the freedom, the «mal rights and privileges of all men before the law. A lover of peace him self, he desired and labored to make such laws, and to leave them so enforced as to give the greatest safety and protection to life, se curity to property, tranquility nnd prosperity to the Common wealth. And because of his manner of laboring to bestow these inestimable blessings impartially on all her citizens, he fell a martyr to the noble work, and we are now called upon to express onr sod feelings in the words of tho resolution. Mr. HCNHEliFOED delivered the follow ing eulogy:- -lfr. fitsiUrhl: In tlio awful presence of Death, every voice is silent, except the voice of sorrow and eulogy. The iuGrmitics ol mortality are forgotten, the good alone is remembered. The grave lias closed over the earthly remains of one of freedom's advocates. The voice, once so fa miliar in the halls, is hashed in death; its sounds no longer greet onr ears. Senator Adkins was born February 5, 1815, and was assassinated in broad day-light between the hours of 10 a. M. and 12 o’clock on the 10th of May 180. Therefore, was 55 years old at the time of his death. He was educated in n country school in Warren coanty, Ga., his na- come by thousands to respond U r . tive place.

From some remarks he made ho (the speaker) made up his mind to become acquainted with him, and he had many fntnre opportunities of becom ing acquainted with him, and now felt it his duty at this time to express tbe sentiments of five hundred thousand of his people. Mr. Adkins was eminently a philanthropist, ho labored for the common good of all men, and when his blood was spilt the ballet of the as sassin was fired iu the interest of men who were the black men's oppressors. H tbe black men coaid come unfettered there from tho "bill declaring the true interest of sec. 4191 of the Revised Code.

Mr. Adkins, while on his Friday, July 18th, 1810, way to Washington, called on the speaker and House met at 12 m., and was called to order said he came to greet him, that he was going I by Hon. Air. TWEEDY, of Richmond. greet him, that he was going by Hon. on to Washington to hasten the time when Air.

God and man, he was going in the hope that | A letter from Speaker McWhorter was read. he might be of some service in Washington, if he conld affect the result be would be thank ful. He (the speaker) was impressed at that time with the danger that awaited Air. Ad- had to be called in. For over 30 years he was a zealous preach er and long before slavery was abolished foe denounced the institution and advocated that they shonld not be ranked with ebatilo and and merchandise. So strong sir, were his prejudices and his voice against slavery that he was forbidden to preach and was excom municated from his Church. His love for ed ucation was no less. During slavery he gave the colored people a place for a school and furnished them with a. teacher and books.— At the breaking out of 'the rebellion be was a strong and fearless advocate for the Union and tho stars and stripes. When men of weak er nerye were carried away with the strong current of public pressure and dare not vote a^ their hearts dictated, the lamented Adkins walked to the polls amidst the snarle and hisses of his countrymen, and voted against secession. In 186*2 he gave public notice for the Union men to assemble at Ready Creek Church, a spot situated in the corner of Warren, Glasscock, Jefferson and Colombia counties, and there he would pub licly address them and urge them to remain stendfa-st 111 their allegiance to the gov ernment of their forefathers; but, sir, in stead of the Confederate States Government allowing him to otter what his heart told him was right, he was arrested, and tbe next that said he would go home, that his first duty was to his country, liis next to his family.— Upon being entreated he requested Air. Camp bell to relate to him what he had heard, and he did so, ho pointed out tbe dangers and called his attention to facts. The next heard of him, said Afr. Campbell, Adkins was dead. Then he thought over every word he had spo ken and when he traveled from place to place he was frequently in lijs mind, every effort, act and speech, his conduct in the convention, in the Senate, showed him to be a man whose nnprejndiced mind and intellect grasped the subject. Adkins, though dead, yet lived, his spirit was marching along, his name was a word of inspiration to thousands. It had been raid at Washington that the talk of the mur- dsr was gotten up for effect Bnt those here, they knew different, here he was known as a noble man, one who fell because of his principles. He spoke to let the bereaved family know that the martyr W»s mourned as a father, by the hundreds of thousands whom hek ; he had been willing to ttand and plead for them when they comd not plead lor them selves. His great spirit moved him to carry out liis great principles, and now they could see"the effect of them. Like dropping a stone in dtpp trater, the circling eddies wero widen ing and widening until they had spread all saying that sickness in his family prevented his attendance, and requesting that Mr. Twee dy would preside. 'Air. SCOTT said that the rule did not em brace such a case as this, and that Mr. Tweedy hod no right to preside. Air.

New Yoke, July 18.—Gold opened iu Wall street amid excitement which eclipses any thing since the war. Reports from Europe came thick and fast during the morning, of most exciting charac ter. First came the announcement that Russia had made an alliance with Prussia—that Aus tria had formed an alliance witli France. Then came a report that Napoleon had noti fied the North Germau States that they must decide within 24 hours whether they would take sides with France or Prussia. Then fol lowed intelligence that there was a panic in Frankfort and London. At this juncture the gold room was infonued that the French iron clad fleet was chasing the Prussian fleet into the Baltic; also that the French army had crossed the Rhine and defeated the Prussians.
