more than ordinary interest.

the belief that extensive frauds have been committed by the
banking houses of Adams & Go., and of Page, Bacon &
b'o.
Political.
The Democratic State Convention of California, at its
late meeting renominated Bigler for Governor, and passed

mense American meeting had been held at Sacramento
city, which was addressed by ex-Gov. Foote, and others.
War in the Pacific.
b was reported that a naval engagement had taken place
off San Diego, between a Russian frigate and a French
corvette, and that that to prevent being captured the French
commander blew up his vessel. The story was doubted.
The Walker Expedition.
The Walker Filibuster Expedition was defeated at Rivas,
with a lossol twenty men. The remainder passed through
Kan Juan, burning the Government barracks and taking
passage on a steamer, which they seized,to parts unknown.
Nomination Jor Congress. —Young L. G. Harris, Esq.,
of Athens, has been nominated by the Know Nothings, in
opposition to the Tlon. Howell Cobb. #
/I Scrap of liistary. —lt is refreshing occasionally to
look through antecedent history, not only to discover how
people acted in other days, but also to ascertain facts con
nected with certain undisputed events. The Know Noth
ing Party was very properly named—lor all their acts
and assertions, prove that they have not even tasted,
much less “drank deep ot the Pierian spring.” Their
shallow pretext for opposing persons of foreign
birth, no matter what their superiority in intelligence,
patriotism and morals may be, is about as foolish as their
claim to excellence, as American citizens, over the na
tive born ot Catholic faith. Asa high sounding and
proscriptive title, they call themselves ‘the “Sons of the
Sires ot Seventy-Six, when nine-tenths of their Sires,
or rather Grand Sires were on the other side of the
Ocean, or in the ranks of the invading English army.
But giving them ail they lay claim to, on the score of an
cestry, who were the ‘ Sons of the Sires ?” Let the
following scrap of history taken at an examination of Mr.
Galloway, before Parliament, in reference to this very
subject, answer. It will do it more faithfully than any
which can come from the Know Nothing Councils :
“Question. —That part ol the rebel army that enlisted
in the service ot the Congress, were they chiefly com
posed of the natives ot America, or were the greater
part of them English, Dutch and Irish l
“Answer.—The names and places of their nativity be
ing taken down, 1 can answer the question with precision
—There were scarcely one-lourth nativts of America :
about one half Irish, the other fourth were English and
Scotch.”
This “scrap” may be unpalatable to the Secret Order,
but truth will vidicate herself. All who have read the
history ot our war of Independence, and of the PennsyL
vanin line in particular, will have seen that there were
only 1 “,000 Irish in that famous line through the war.—
A Vim would that proportion give at the present day ?

HON. WALTER T. COLQUITT.
Tribute of Respect.
State of Georgia, Ameiucus, 2d District,)
Tuesday, 10th July, 1855. j
i he Honorable the Supreme Court met pursuant
to adjournment. Present, their Honors, Joseph H.
Lumpkin, Lbcnezer Starnes, and Henry L. Bcn
ning, Judges.
i he death ol the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt,
a member ol this Bar, was announced this morning
by the Hon. G. E. Thomas, who moved the ap
pointment of a committee to prepare and report
resolutions in relation thereto, which was seconded
by Col. Seaborn Jones.
Whereupon, the Court moved as a committee
the following gentlemen, viz.: Hon. G. E. Thomas,
Col. Seaborn Jones, Wm. Dougherty, B. Hill, B.
H. Hill, G. M. Dudley, and T. R. R. Cobb, Esqs.
The committee to whom was referred the dutv
of reporting to the Court a suitable preamble and
resolution in commemoration of the life and char
acter of the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, whom
death has not long since removed from our midst,
respectfully report :
That our much beloved and sincerely lamented
brother, the Honorable Walter T. Colquitt, was
one of the peculiar men of his age. He was strong
ly and distinctly marked in character, and eminent-
ly qualified to leave his impress on the theatre of
life. His indomitable will, and great moral courage,
placed him on high ground in all great emergencies.
But, alas! “Death enters and there is no de
fence.” Neither genius, nor talents, nor moral
worth, nor beauty, can escape the inevitable doom.
“Dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return.”
Death is said “to love a shining mark.” A mighty
man has fallen ! After a severe and protracted con
flict, which he bore with Christian fortitude and
meekness, lie yielded up his life to Him who gave,
and whose sovereign right it was to take it away.
The event, though not unexpected, was never
theless painful. Who that knew him, did not love
him ! who that loved, does not lament his departure !
His seat is here become vacant; his voise is here
hushed, and that forever. Called away in the noon
of his manhood—in the midst of his usefulness.
What a chasm is made ! not only in the Court, but
also in the family circle, and in the public councils.
Os his social //ualities, how shall we speak 1 Os
a warm and generous disposition, his heart leaped
at once into every enterprise of benevolence ; his
charity embraced all conditions of want and wretch
edness.
Os his intellectual endowments , wc do not exag
gerate when we say that he possessed a strong, vig
orous, discriminating mind—an intellect which had
lightning speed and power. In the Court room, or
in the Senate Chamber, he was alike the fearless
and able advocate, the firm and unyielding patriot.
Always the same great original, he was, as occasion
required, peculiar, striking, overwhelming. His
eloquence sometimes resembled “the music,” some
times “the thunder of the spheres.”
Asa Jury advocate, in the defence of life and
liberty, he had few equals and no superior. More
than all, lie was a Christian, —a sinner saved by
grace. And if he ever wandered from the straight
and narrow path —(and who has not !) none re
pented more sincerely, none made restitution sooner
than he. Religion bore his fainting spirits up
when all earthly props gave way. This sustaimpd
this never failed him.
“Our life’s a dream, a morning flower,
Cut down and withered in an hour.”
But this Amaranthine flower blooms the brighter as
the hand of death approaches, and sheds a sweet
perfume around the cold precincts of “the noisome
tomb.” “The chamber, where the good man meets
his fate, is privileged beyond the common walks of
life, quite in the verge of Heaven.” He died, “be
ing full of the Holy Ghost,” and left the world in
triumph!
“There is a life above,
And all that life is love.”
This mournful Providence speaks to us, his surviv
ing brethren, in a language not to be misunderstood,
“Be ye also ready.” Let not the lesson be lost—
but, giving heed, let us love and adore —knowing
that our Heavenly Father docs all things for the best.
1. Resolved, That while we sincerely sympathize
with the bereaved, wc will cherish in our hearts the
memory and the virtues of our deceased Brother.
2. Resolved, That as a perpetual record of our
love and admiration of him, we respectfully ask ot
this Honorable Court the privilege of having this
preamble and these resolutions spread on the Min
utes of this Court.
3. Resolved, That a copy of the same be made
out and signed by the Clerk of this Court, and be
by him forwarded to the family of the deceased.
Also, a copy for publication to the papers in Colum
bus and Macon.
Remarks of the Hon. Judge Lumpkin.
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the Committee and
the Bar: The Court cordially responds to the very
feeling and eloquent tribute which you have paid to
the memory of our deceased brother and friend.
No man that has lived within this State lor the
last thirty years has left or will leave a stronger im
press upon the public mind than Walter T. Col
quitt. Who has touched community at so many
points l Who has exhibited the same versatility of
•.alent ? Who is a more striking type and exponent
of the practical working of republican institutions l
Emerging front comparative poverty and obscurity,
he stepped at once from the Bar to the Bench, and
by the energy of his mind and character, filled, in
rapid succession, a seat botli in the House of Rep
resentatives and Senate ol the United States.
Asa popular orator and advocate, especially in
criminal causes, the deceased was unsurpassed by
any of his cotemporaries. And whatever may have
been the extravagances (if you please) ol bis style
and manner, it rarely failed ol success and to elicit
the enthusiastic applause of his auditory ; and this
is the highest compliment that can be paid to a pub
lic speaker—albeit he may violate every rule of rhet
oric taught in the schools. His imitations on the
Hustings, at the Bar, and even in the Pulpit—arc
leg' oll - . . , ..
But I will not dwell at this time on the peculiar- j
ities of the deceased. No man had more friends or :
friends more devotedly attached to him. And this
was natural as well as right, for a more unselfish
man. in all the private relations of life and inter
course with society, never lived. We love them who
love us, is the law” that binds man to man, as well
as man to his Maker. It was hut a short time be
fore his death that I was conversing with a female
member of his family—a lovely woman who preced
ed him to the grave —and she related how, in a re
cent travel with her father-in-law, when he could
scarcely sit up, he seemed to forget himself entirely
and think only of her comfort. Is it strange that
such a man should be endeared to his friends ?
You have spoken, Mr. Chairman, of the moral
courage of the deceased. But an equal tower of
strength was his physical firmness. He never feared
the face of man. We have many amongst us who
arc brave from pride, or principle, or education, blis
was innate. It was the courage ot Nelson and Ney
and Zachary Taylor—that was wholly uncon
scious of the presence ot danger. 1 speak what l
know. Such a man could not fail to be a magnani-
mous lOC. , , . • . i;r
But our friend and brother, so instinct wi h lih,
has passed away in the meridian ot his manhood.
That pulse that beat so active lias ceased to throb ;
that brain that teemed with ten thousand plans aim
purposes, will think no more. ...
If ever man was endowed with antediluvian con
stitution-born to live a thousand ‘cars -Jud e
Coi.quiTT was. But lie was as prodigal of lus health
as he was of his purse. lie knew no rest.*
sooner did the bugle sound for political or .Profes
sional warfare, than every nerve was straim
utmost tension for the fight. He rushed into
with every power of soul, mind and body, and \\ o
take no repose till the conflict was ended. *
We saw him at this place after one of the most
exhausting efforts ever made, and when his morta
malady, wmieh had fixed its iron grasp upon lum
several years previously, was preying upon m
borne to the stage coach by his friends—hurry
away to a neighboring State to renew his struggles
upon another theatre. We cannot but reproach one
so munificently endowed by nature, and whose life
was so important to his family and country, for thus
throwing it away as a useless thing.
Let us take warning by his example, and be not
overworked. Wc press toward the mark for the
prize, and perish on Pisgah in view of Canaan and
its clusters. He seemed to live but to die. We
trust he died but to live forevermore !
But lam done. Should my life be spared, and I
can steal the time from the severe exactions of my
official duties, 1 will endeavor to erect a more abid
ing monument and one more worthy of the deceas
ed- ith lnc if “’ill be a labor ol love. We were
College mates in a distant State, at a period of life
when friendships the most pure and lasting arc for
med. When I reached Princeton, I found my
young countryman in difficulty, and was able, for
tunately, to assist him. I found myself in greater
trouble, afterwards, when he repaid the obligation
with usury. I can readily forgive and forget an
injury— a favor, never. The memory of Walter
T. Colquitt will be pleasant to me until mv own
heart, like his, shall cease to beat.

•Messrs. IVm, s. Brers & ( 0.. Gents:— Considerations ol’ du
ty to the afllicted alone prompt me to send you this voluntary
testimonial to the great value of ‘■'•Carter's Spanish Mixture ”
for that almost incurable disease, Scrofula.
Without being disposed or deeming it necessary to go into
the particulars of the case, I can suv that the astonishing results
that have been produced by the use of that medicine on a
member of my own family, and under tny own observation and
superintendence, alter the skill of theftiest physicians had
been exhausted and all the usual remedies had failed, fully
justify mein recommending its use to all who may be suffer
ing from that dreadful malady,
I do not mean to say that it is adapted to all constitutions,or
that it will ifford the same relief in all cases; for, of course, 1
know nothing about that—but from what l have seen oft he ef
fects, 1 would not hesitate to use it, in ai y and every ease of
Scrofula, with persons for whom 1 felt an interest, or over
whom I could exercise influence or control.

Diseases of tlie Liver.—When the celebrated Dr.
Rush declared drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth
which the experience and observation of medical men is eve
ry day confirming. The many apparently insane excesses of
those who indulge in the use of spirituous liquors, may be
hus aceounted tor. The true cause of conduct, which is taken
for is veiy frequently a diseased stale of the Liver.
No organ of the system, when deranged, produces a more
frightful catalogue of diseases. And if, instead of applying
remedies to the manifestations of disease, as is to olten the
case, physicians would prescribe with a view *o the original
cause, fewer deaths would result from diseases induced by a
deranged state of the Liver. Three fourths of the diseases
enumerated under the head of Consumption, have their seat
in a diseased Liver. (Bee Dr. Gunn’sgreat works.)^
