Is hopelessly afflicted with the traditions of a

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

of onr Constitution will be reinstated in its

wants Democracy in |ts old familiar dress,

stantial tinsel of a “third party” movement,

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’]

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-

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

He was impressed that all the worst of the

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,

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 .

remembered well the first time he saw Sena

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

come by thousands to respond to the spirit of I J _•
£hat resolution. 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.

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. O’NEAL, of Lowndes, said that the
Speaker was present when the letter was writ
ten, and that the rule did embrace the case,
Mr. HARPER moved that the Clerk be call
ed to the Chair, and that he put tho motion
before the House “that the member from
Richmond take the Chair,” which motion was
put and carried. So
P Air. TWEEDY resumed the Chair.

On motion of Mr. JOHNSON the calling of

he would move for a reconsideration; that he

of ignorant nostrum-mongers in all parts of the coun

ureably play&outin consequence of the numerous

tactics has bsen adopted. In the South and West es

trashy cqnponnds, which are warmly recommend
ed by the veftlera, wbc endeavor to palm them off
upon tbe credulous in lien of the great specific which
has never yet had a successful competitor either among
proprietory preparations or the medicines prescribed
in private practice. This notice is intended to put the
public on their guard against persuasions of parties
engaged in thf attempt to substitute mere rqhbUh for
the most efficient stomachic and alterative at present
known. At tlis season of the year when debility and
complaints arkng from a lack of vital energy so gener
ally prevail, it Is pf ffie greatest consequence that no
tricks should be played with depressed and enfeebled
systems. Ask, therefore, for Ho*tetter's Stomach Bit

reject, with deserved contempt, the worse tli^u. user

Reports from Europe came thick and fast
during the morning, of most exciting charac

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

the Baltic; also that the French army had
crossed the Rhine and defeated the Prussians.

Governments opened early atl? U and quickly ad
vanced to 19 1 *. At this point the market halted for a
time, but soon started up and didn’t stop till 20 was
reached. Here the excitement cooled off a little, and
the-price dropped to IVl- The bulls, after a short
resting spell, sent the price up once more, and at this
time it rapidly rose to 22J*, tho highest figure made ou
the present upward turn. At this point the market
seemed to become dizzy, and almost in an instant
dropped to 20*4, but quickly rallied to 21*.', and then
fell off tq21.' ,'. Germans were enormous buyers of
gold during the day, and their operations have been
conducted with a boldness which shows great faith iu
