WirxiAM Thorne Wmnxa, one of the oldest and most respected of the'citfesuB of Savannah. Ho expired, calmly and peace fully, at half past four yesterday, afternoon, at his residence on Orleans &mare, in the eighty- fourth year of his age. Tire death of such a man deserves a mote 'extended notice than we .are now able to give. For the present, the following summary of his life and cliarac- ter must suffice. - ‘ : 'Col. Williams was bom in Philadelphia, on the 24th day of June, 1785,. andin 1805 removed to Savannah, •white he constantly afterwards resided. down to the time of. Bis decease. - He here engaged in the book trade, and for a period- of abont half a century was one of the,most active, successful and honor able of Savannah' merchant^. "ft*l only since the beginning of the late war, that increasing age and the adverse circumstances of the. Southern country compelled ljim to give up business.,, , , i;[ , , , , , , , “It is difficult to enumerate all the public trusts, which, during* ar jrrotraeted life, CoL Williams filled with honor to himself to the great advantage of the public, several years, he was. an Alderman of Sa vannah, and’hewas repeatedly elected Mayor, in both of which capacities he gave great satisfaction. He was also .for a long time, the Colonel of the First Regiment of Geor gia Militia, and for a number of years, one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Chatham County. In all these relations to the people of this city and county, his course was marked by a firm and conscientious discharge of duty. The same may be said of him in all the other relations of life, public and private. He was commoted .with many of the institutions of the' eit£, arid for many consecutive years --was a Director in the Bank of! the State of Georgia, ami frequently its President pro tempore. To the cause of education he devoted much of his time, feeling always a interest in the training of youth. As a Trustee of Chat ham Academy, and for many years its ijefc- retaty" and Treasurer 'And chief executive officer, his "administration wiis" liberal und highly beneficial to the cause of public in struction.

Of CoL Williams’ early and intimate associates we dan recount but two or thLee mirvivore. * -"For'some years, Col. Williams had suffered much from an affection of the chest, which occasionally disabled him' froiO attending to business. Still, he permitted no - trilling cause to keej> him in .dqojs. .

We had just sat down 1 to pay a hasty tri bute jitotifo meippry, of ai' distinguished citi-» zen of Savannah, when we , were a^dSn startled and .shocked on reading'the follow- -ing private dispatch, dated yesterday : “Howell Cobb djed trudder .nnp Hpiel this morning.” T Wainstantly recalled to mind this wdrejs of the great poet: .

At a most critical period in her his tory, Mr. Coitfi was elected Speaker - of the House over an opposition that no other man of his political tenets coijld have breasted. Whilst a- member of Congress, he was. run for Governor and triumphantly elected-over one of the inost populat men in the State. ■Retiring after his term of two years, he was again sent to Congress from his old District, and was thence transferred, in 1857, to a seat in President Buchanan’s Cabinet, as Secretary of! the; Treasury. AA Speaker of the House, his fame was high, and, as a member of the Cabinet, it suffered no diminution. Unlike mpst public men who rise to eminence, Mr. Cobb suffered little from ungenerous rivalty. His friends delighted to honor him, and his enemies,, of whom there were very few, were compelled to admit his ability and bis'fitness fair high position. Of his noble bearing in the' late unhappy war, it is needless to say much. He had beeii instinctively a lover of the Union, but his generous nature recoiled at what he considered an attempt to despoil the South. With the same generosity, when the fortune of war decided the contest ad-, verselv, he sheathed his sword gracefully and stood ready to abide the result. His Only brother, the gifted Gen. T. R. R. Oobb, had fallen iu the struggle; and we believe there was no time when Howell Cobb would npt, have cheerfully yielded up his own life in be half of an honorable and permanent adjust ment between the North and the South. At the. close of the war Mr. Cobb resumed the practice of law, in co-partnership with the Hon. James Jackson, and settled at Macon. He at once entered into a lucrative practice, and Was, as in other days, still the idol of his friends, devoting his time to private pursuits,, and, from motives of delicacy and not lack of sympathy for the wrongs of the South, taking little part in politics. It appears by ' another dispatch., this -morning published, that he died without any premonitory sick ness. He leaves » widow and several chil dren—some of thfem grown—to lament his sad demise. In this afiliction the whole country will sympathize with them. This very imperfect tribute to Mr. Cobb’s memory will, we trust, be succeeded by a more extended notice from soipe pen that can do full justice to the life and character of How- ELL COBB; ' ! •?« > I !;U .- • I l„. . . 'THE PROSPECT BRIGHTEN!.VO. The Radicals made a “great to-jdo”, oyer what they called the glorious result iniMaiue, (claiming it as a sure augury of the success of itheir ticket 1 in November. The official re- ) turns were, suppressed for some time, but as thD truth haa gradually come.out, it ai>pears that instead of a victory they really sustained n defeat in Maine—instead of increasing their majority, their vote was alarmingly di minished. The New York Tribune is not at all encouraged by the result in Maine. It says: 1 “If onr vote • Should full of ■ like that of Maine—eight per cent, of the total. vote of 186(1—we would lose New York l>y 43,718 ma jority. ..We therefore must do six per cent better than Maine, compared with 1866, or we lose the State. It would require even a less falling off from the Radical vote in the States of Pennsylva nia, Ohio, flnd lndiana to give these States to Seymoub and ‘ Blair by handsome majorities. From all of these States we have the most en couraging assurances that the Deuqctats are prosecuting the canvass vigorously in the full " confidence of certain triumph in the elections Tuesday next, which will ensure the success of their electoral tickets in November. So far as the Keystone State is concerned, it is con ceded that the indications of Democratic suc cess are most encouraging. A prominent Democrat of Philadelphia writes to his friend; in Washington: - ‘i,There it^no end to the meetings held in the city, and the greatest enthusiasm prevails. We calculate on carrying the State by ten or fifteen thousand, and the city by five or six thousand. The Radicals Are straining every point, even taring policemen $30 out of their small monthly salaries, and colonizing where- ever they can. 1 We are watching them, aud have them marked.” - _■» The Philadelphia Aye, aremafkably teihper- ate and reliable Democratic paper, confidently claims both the city and State for the Dernoc racy by handsome majorities, and we are assured by the Washington Erpress that “a prominent Republican paper man,” (Fobney, we suspect) recently returned from the Sol diers' Convention, gives the city to the Dem- ocracy by,4,000 majority. , tJ _ '. , ii( . Within the.past ten days the prospects of the Democracy have greatly improved through- out’the North and West, and gentlemen who have returned from Ne\y York within tho week, assure ns that the Democrats are much more encoumged—the timid more hopeful, and the sanguine more confident—than they have been since the opening of' the canvass. If is equally evident that the Radicals, Vvho relied so confidently upon the power which they! wield through Congress, and upon the prestige of Gen Grant’s name, are begin ning to become alarmed at tie evidences which meet them*on every side of the great reaction which is going on in the popular ‘mind. They con no longer , shut their, eyes to the fact that, with the immense accumula tion of the' public debt, the developments of corruption and robbery in the management of public affairs,, the peril of national bank ruptcy, And the rapid- tendency towards anarchy and militaiy despotism, the people are becoming alarmed, and that they are re- solved upou a change of rulers, and to bring the Government back to its original land marks; that they are determined not only that the Union shall be reconstructed but ih$t the Constitution shall be restored. -When, the] people .ibegiii jio.reasop, it is time for usurpers and tyrants to fear.

During the inteihrieir, some one alluded to politics, when “ the Gen. eral replied with-animation “The Southerners are passionate and lose out of sight their own interests in serving the Northern Copperheads, who will laogh at them when their aid is no longer required. It is absolutely necessary to give political possiona sufficient time to pass away ; the young gen eration eomprehendsits duties and interests better. A new war is impossible, and as to a war of races ‘I do not believie in it The Southern negroes are not- so reckless nor so determined as those in St Domingo, and if ever the whites should take the initiative in snch a conflict the Federal army would soon put a stop to it The pacification of the country will come by and by, and whatever occurs, the North, Lrhich has abolished slave ry, decreed the political-and social equality of the blacks and whites; and opened the Sonth, hitherto closed to emigration, is al ways ready to go to war; if unfortunately cir cumstances should demand it Jealous of. its work, the world will never permit ft to be im pel illed by any factious doings. ” -i i l- The General should bekr in mind, remarks the ltichinond Whig, that if the Southerners do lose sight of their true interests in serving the Copperheads, they are - the only people at the North whoprofess any sympathy for them and avow the wish to save them from the threatened African domination. The Gen eral himself intimateB in this speech that he would employ the sword to enforce “ the de creed political,,and social equality ofthe blacks and whites;” , which implies the ex tent of his affection for the South.

LIONS . No last was greater, riity^ig^jrliUibip,; to^ on tke fore the closeqjT the war, the subsequent rate of increase exceeding four, millions of dollars a month;: hr hearty fifty millions of dollars a year. But thbreare reenlte stilLmore alarm ing. Thedebt is greater by over thirty-five millions of dollars than it was on the 1st of Stay last, • . . . ($35,085,486.) , , 1 On this basis the yearly rate of increase of the debt would be over one hundred and five mfllibip) of dollars, , : :/ : ; (»iop,a56,458.) If to this iwimI rate of increase we add. in terest at the rate of six per cent a year, com pounded annualty for twenty years, the debt, ■instead of being paid, would be more than doubted and would largely .exceed *tve thousand mil- ins of dollars, !ow, Ict us look at the irumihly increase of thb debt fqr the laat four months, (this in crease was at a rate largely exceeding eight minions of dollars a month, ($8,771,371) but !the increase in the month, of August last Was.over twelve millions of dollars, (12,078,_ 832) being a rate ofincrease largely exceeding one hundred and forty-four millions a year. ! ($144,958,984.) It must be remembered, also, that this last increase of debt is during the great quarter when the average rate of revenue from im ports exceeds about onp-Hird the rate for the fiscal year. Suppose the debt to increase at the rate of one hundred and forty-five millions of dollars, adding to this interest compounded at Vie rate of sixper cent, per annum, and the debt would be doubted in about fourteen years, tony r orescteich tde would ■have passed into banlc- tpfey. Indeed, from the intolerable burden of taxation, arsing from such an annual in crease of the debt, we should reach national bankruptcy in the Congressional election of 1870. And yet it is the' Radical party Which accuses its opponents of repudiation, whilst its own-course of enormous war expenditures in lime of peace makes national bankruptcy inev itable. Indeed it ia ohly a vast decrease of taxation and expenditures which can save us from the disaster. But this reduction can never come from -_. T7 __„, which in- sifite on the continuance of a large standing army, to subject the whites' of the South, by fared, to negro governments aud negro' su premacy. Wa hate seen the i rapid increase of too public debt, not ■ only since toe peace, but within the last four months. But this table exhibits a still more alarming fact. It is, that whilst the debt bearing interest in cur rency had decreased on the 31st August hurt $628,940,728 from toe 31st March, 1865, the debt bearing interest in coin had nidrhj douUed, having increased on the 31st August last nearly one- thousand millions of dollars ($996,130,508) since toe 31st Mareh, 1865. Thus, on toe 30th, April, 1865, toe annual interest payable )n coin was only $63,978,412, whilst on the 31st August last this annual coin interest bad reached $133,573,691, the increase of annual coin interest being nearly sixty millions of dollars, ($59,595,909;) or, converting this sum into currency of that date, $87,009,005. Now, the total annual interest in coin and currency, as shown by toe table, was - ! $103,836,531, - on 31st of March, 1865, and $127,948,611 on the 31st of August last, showing an increase in. toe annual interest, payable iu coin and currency, on the 31st,of August last, of $95,119,080. Bnt this, as shown by toe table, is not toe only real increase. Thus we have seen that, whilst on the 30th of April, 1865, the annual currency interest was $45,127,936, it had follen on the 31st of August last to $4,374,990, whilst toe annual coin interest had increased nearly sixty millions of dollars.

Wo repeat, then, it is clear that the Rad ioed policy renders national bankruptcy inev itable. That policy regards the rebellion as unsubdued, the Stales as conquered provinces, still ready fpr war, and the whites to be kept in subjection by negro governments, sus tained by standing armies costing more every year than 1 ,those of France or England, and with much heavier taxation.
