Patrick Walsh was born in Balliii- pary, connty of Limerick, Ireland, on January 1st, 1840. With his fathsf and family he moved to America, ar rived at Charleston, S. C. t in 1852. At the age of 13 c years he was appren, ticed to l he Courier office to learn the typo’s trade- At 18 he hecarah,a journeyman printer, alter whioh.jhe pursued his studies in the Charleston High School; in the afternoon and ening setting type in the office of the Southern Christian Advocate. In 1859 he went to Georgetown College, District of Columbia, where be re mained until South Carolina, in the, following year, seceded from the Union. Hemming to Charleston, Mr. Walsh entered the Confederate ser vice, in lull sympathy with the cause of his Stale and of his adopted conn* try. Ho joined the Meagher Guard, attached to the First Regiment of the Carolina Rifle Militia, then perform, ing duty on 8ullivan’s Island. After the bombardment of Fort Sumter the name of the company was changed to the “Emerald Light Infantry,’’ in hich l.o served with the rank o- Lientenant until the company and regf intent were disbanded. Removing shorty afterwards to Augusta, Ga., Mr. Walsh felt tbe need of contiuir ing the work which the war had seri- onsly interrupted. His lather and mother were largely dependent upon his efforts, as were his brothers in the army needing all the assistance he could give. He entered the office of the Daily Constitutionalist, working at the case, beginning the profession of journalism, like Bayard Taylor and Horace Greeley, equipped with a prac tical knowledge ol its details, and trained in the rudiments or the voces tion. Working his way np in the of. flee by steady skill and unflagging spirit, he became in January. 1863, the local editor, of the Constitutionals ist—filling in torn every department in the condnct of then, the most in fluential journal in the South. He contributed largely to the news and editorial columns of the paper, and misted in shaping its policy during those eventful days. In 1864 Mr. Wnlsb became associated with Mr. L T. Bionic in tlie publication of the Pa. eifientor, which was a weekly paper of extensive circulation through the South. He was also one of the edi» tors and proprietors of the Banner of the South, to which Father Kvan cons tribute'! so much of poetic patriotism and wise counsel. Continuing with the Conslilutioualist. however, Mr. Walsh became in 1S66 Southern Agent of the New York Associated Press. The former organization, formed by the co-operation of the five great dailies of New York city, ex tended their telegraphic news service over the Western Uuion t throughout the South Atlantic Gulf States. Mr. Walsh was made Superintendent of the Southern divis ion, with several States in hit jurisdic tion, and has continued to be a valued aid of Mr. J. W. Simonton, the Gens cral Agent of New York. Mr Walsh management of his department of this great news sendee lias lteen liberal and enterprising, and be has been .- in the front rank of those who are’ in creasing the quantity and improving the quality ol' the telegraphic news and commercial columns of our daily inpers. In 1807 Mr. Walsh became Miriness manager of the Chronicle and Sentinel of Augusta, then publish ed and edited by Messrs. Henry Moote and Gen. A. R. Wright. Up on the death, iu December, 1872, of the lamented General Wright, he formed a partnership with the gifted Henry Gregg Wright, the General’s son, and purchased the Chronicle and Sentinel. first, nomination of a straight out ticket in South Carolina. Always widely read and extensivly circuaicd in the Palmetto State, the Chronicle’s' advice * added , great weight to the opinion! of statesmen and to the feel ings of the people.

He took the ntump in some places daring the Hampton campaign, and assisted in the victory which followed. Mr. JValsh has occupied several pub- j lie offices. In 1870 and 1871 he was elected a member of the City Council of Augusta, and was identified with important interests in the city. In 1872 he was elected to the General Assembly of Georgia as Representa tive from Richmond county; re-elected in 1874 aud again in 1876. In the Legislature, as everywhere, Mr. Walsh took an earnest interest in ev - erything going on. Aa he was one of the most active workers iu the me- moraltlo election of 1870 which re deemed the State from its political enemies; so he was one of the roost wide awake legislators in reforming the work of the Slate government. He served upou important committees, and distinguished himself upon the floor by bis vigilant, earnest open manner, and outspoken, honest senti ments. He contributed largely in tbe House toward submitting the question of a Constitutional Convention to the topic. Ho was never a trimmer, e is either an ardent supporter or a sturdy opponent. He deals in no ruse or dip'otnacy. He has the man- lit-ess to defend or the nerve to con demn, according to hi* conviction. He supports strong judgment and positive conviction with courage and backbone. He cannot be either bribed bulldozed. He realizes as thor oughly as any man, that u To aide with truth ia noble, what we share her wretched crust, Ere her cease bring fine and profit, and His prosperous to be just.” Immovable as a rock to opposition, he possesses the warmest of hearts to appeal. A request from a friend, a return for a favor, a call for sympathy, a cry for charity finds a heart ns im pulsive as it is unselfish rad suscepti ble. With ‘ a hand open os day for melting charily,’ hia kindness is pro verbial in tbe community in which he lives. Not a tew voting men in Au gusta can testify to his ready genet- osity. He is connected with one or two benevolent associations ;is public- spirited in all thj^L affects tho welfare of Augusta, the prosperity of Georgia, of Carolina, and ot the South; he is liberal to all parties and sections; looks with hope and interest npon the struggles of his mother country-, and is only intolerant of—intolerance. In all mailers of pclitiui and of religion lie is entirely, constitutionally liberal. His paper is contributed to by every pastor in Augusta. Iu August last Mr. Waisti was a delegate from his county to the State Democratic Con vention. Ilia course upon that floor was id itoine degree .typical of reeroftheman. Tbe first thing characterized him on tbe floor of this oonveoiion, wsslti# tUtaltetaMe hoa- viction-. He seemed fully persuaded ol Gov. Colquitt’s claims, and that be was the choice of the people. Then deve'oped his entire devotion to 'the cause. Never had an officer fQ loyal a champion. He worked night aud day for the re-nominaHtm of the Gov ernor, and was faithful and untiring in the presentation of his case. He even repelled all overtures for his inatiou, and^Mnoained, true to .his choice. Hi* judgment was tkartt'ka- displayed in counseB rnor’s friends where he took ig \ one; but these hard-working add well- trained young men maintained a journal which surpassed tbe former record of the old and popular pa;ier. Such a display ot skill, ability and de termination has seldom been manifest ed in Georgia journalism. Tim syin pat by of the public, however, was theirs. Their subscription fists grew and their influence widened. Iu five years thejr paper paid for itself oul of its own earnings, its reputation was established and its stability insured. So strongly bad the Chronicle A Sen* linel been built up that in the early tart ot 1877 Messrs.

In Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin there is a genera] blockade from high water and suow. Farmers are unable even to reach the markets, in some localities. There is, therefore, much distress. Coal is scarce in Omaha, only forty tons of Iowa coal being in the city, with prospects of several days’ blockade for freights. The loss of cattle in the grazing sections will be very heavy. In Dakota at headquarters on Pop lar River there was an extraordinary overflow of water and ice last Monday. The Indian camp was flooded, and eight Indians and several hundred ponies were drowned. Othersescaped by precipitate flight, throwing their tepees and ropes in the river. The movement of the troops from the camp at Poplar river to Buford has been blocked by the swollen stream.

Ac cordingly, tip sooner was the Queen’s speech read than'they manifested a spirit of factions opposition to the Government in view of the rigid meas ures which it was well known would be brought forward tar the suppress ing the practical rebellion against law that was becoming more and more rife in ‘the unhappy island. When those measures were announced by the Government, the Irish leaders set themselves at once to prevent all such legislation, by adopting what are known as parliamentary tactics, maks ing repeated motions of adjournment, raising questions of order and privia lege Rnd the like, which according to ilsage lake the precedence of all other propositions, and which, if persisted in, as was intended, musteifectnnlly pres vent all legislative action. The right to demand the “previous question’’ does not exist in the British Parlia ment, and there seems to be no au thority by which the oltstructioniscs could be checked and legislation ad vanced. | j , I t After deliberation on the part of majority, encouraged also by the as surance of support from the conserva tives, the Speaker took the responsi bility of arresting these proceedings by refusing to allow mere dilatory motions to come before the House; and when one of the Irish leaders persisted in demanding the attentlou of the House, in opposition to tbe Speaker, he was suspended for the session and removed by the sergeant- at-arms. The same course was pur sued with other obstructionists, and tit length on Thursday ‘last, amid great commotion, thirty-five of the Irish members, including Mr. Parnell, were suspended and removed by the police. Their few English sympa thizers who remained did not take'up the same role; but allowed the major ity to proceed with the, business be- ‘ re them, * . The' real revolutionists, the Irish aoitatma, have thus compelled the Government party to adopt unusual measures. It ia : .conceded that the Speaker was not inyasted yvith the arbitrary authority which he exercised ih arresting ’ the ordinary course of Parliamentary proceedings; bat what could-be done?
