J Tilghman Ashuist Howaid was born on the 14th of No- ! Tember, 1797, on George Cieek, the waters of the Saluda I liter, Tour miles E. of Pickensville, South Carolina. He was the son of John Howard, who was born m the 14th February, 17C0. Hi father was IS yeais of age at the commencement of hostilities between the colonic and the mother country. In hi 1Mb. tear, he joined the American army, and served under Gen. Green, at the battle of Eutaw Spring in Sooth Carolina, and in the words of one who was well acquainted wiih him at that period, he M fought a became an American soldier." Cut little moie is known of his early history; but his bet eulogy i the trong and nervous language of his son T. A. Howaid "Hit musket told ilt own tale at the Revolution." His father was a Baptist preacher, and a successful one. He was a fiim and decided christian, and maintained his Standing as a faithful miuMer of that denomination until the year 1&3D, when, at the advanced age of 79 years, in the Slate of Illinois, be fell asleep and was gathered to his fathers. Iiis mother was of the family of Ashnrt, from whom the son was named; and it i a remaikable fact, that TilghiDan was the third son by a thud man tage, on the part of both father and mother. She died wheu her son was about two years of aze. and was buiicd on Crow Creek, within one mile of the ol l fort on Keowee, about 20 miles N. W. from Fickensville, South Carolina. The raisins and education of Tilgtirnan devolved on his half brother, John McElioy, who moved with him to Buncombe county. Xoith Carolina, when he was about four yeais of age. He lemained in Norlh Carol:na; about his nineteenth year, he lemovtd to the eastern pait of Tennesee, without I elation-, or friends but a boy, relying solely upon hi own industry and perseverance. to make ins way into society ami oDiaiti a position in the wot Id. At the ae of twenty he was ensaed by a Mr. Patten of Tennessee, for a short time, as a cleik in a stoie; a portion of his time he devoted to school teaching. About this period he foimed an acquaintance with John and George Stewart of Newpoit, Tennessee, which acquaintance ripened into an inlima'e friendship, and was cheiished thiougii life. He was employed by these men as a cleik in tbi ir stoie, and devoted a part of his lime to Ihe study of his intended profession the law. lie was licensed to practice at 21. having been his own tutor and preceptor. At the i"c of 27 he was e ected to a seal in the Senate of Tennessee, in a district cumpoed of three counties ; and is an evidence of his standing at this age, be was chosen a member of Gen. Houston's staff, then Governor of the Stale, now of the United States Senate, between whom was then foimed stion ties of personal friendship, which continued through life. In 1S2S, he was an elector for Piesident and Vice President, and voted as mich for President Jackson, of whose political principles he was an anient admirer. During the year JS30, he moved from Tennessee to Bloomington, Indiana, wheie he continued to reside, practicing his profession until the s; ring of IS33, when he settled with us in our own little Village. About this time. President Jack'on appointed him District Attorney for Indiana, without solicitation on his part indeed, lie knew nothing of the matter ud i il he received his commisaion. He held this office, discharging its duties with great satisfaction to the Government, and lo the citizens of the Mate, until the summer of IS33. At the August election of that year, he was elected to a seat in the 27th Congress of the United States, by the people of the 7tn Concessional district. He was appointed at the first session on the Committee of Foieign Relations and second on that committee; some eviitnee of his standing in that body. On the 10th day of June, 1844, he was appointed by the President Charge de AfTaiies to the Republic of Texas, and on the same day was unanimously coiinimed by the Senate. He immediately proceeded to Washington, the capital of Texas, where he remained in discharge of the duties of his clEee until his death. It has been said that the history of individuals i. of all histories, the most valuable, for experience it the guide if iije; ana oi an the nisluues or individuals, those are the most luteies'ing which exhibit men making their way thiougii society fiom the humblest walks of life to the highest points of disiinction those who, by perseverance, zeal and industry, make themselves kuowu and felt in the sphrre in which they move. The world is always improved by every triumph of mind ; and he who foices his way up to distinction from obscurity, and by self-culture and moial woith overcomes the greatest obstacles, teais down all the flimsy barriers of wealth and heieditary hunots in his way, and shows himsaJf deserving the highest position; such a man's life always excites the young and ardent mind to the improvement of those nobler faculties, and gives us confidence in human tesooices. Noble piecedenU like these are the ordered instruments by which the character of the world is improved. The renown of the christian, the patriot, the heio, the statesman, is the seed of national glory. The life of lljwaid is a beautiful example, not only of the career of a friendless, moneyless youth, rising to distinction by his own unaided exeitious, but forcibly Ulustiates the woikings of our fiee and elective form of government. The orphan at two years of age. The school teacher at nineteen. The self-made lawyer at twenty-one. ' The Senator in a strange land at twenty-six. The successful lawyer and profound jurist at thirty. The dignified and useful member of Congtess at foity. Your accomplished minister to a neighboring republic at forty-six. In 1S35, during the administration of President Jackson, he was appointed a commissbner, to settle a very large amount of conflicting claims, at Chicago; that were pieseuted against the government, ari-ing under various Indian treaties, acts of Congress, Lc. Sec. I had the following in relation to this appointment, from a distinguished Senator of the United Slates the then Secretary of War, under Piesident Jack-on. There was some difficulty with the Cabinet at Washington, in selecting a man to whom Ihe settlement of so large an amount of conflicting claims should be entrusted. These claims involved mote than half a million of dollars, in which a numetous class of sjccuUlois were deeply interested. Some of them had been standing for year, and were piessed upon the government with gieai zeal. It was imporianl lo select a man who would hear the whole proof, and make a report to the department at Washington ; and in making this selection, it was likewise important to have a man in whom the government, as well as Ihe citizen, who was piessing his claim, should have confidence. After Ihe presenting of this name and of that, by difleiect members of the cabinet, and do piospect of an agreement, the difficulty reached the wotthy old Piesident, who was not present at these consultations, being indisposed. My infoimant says, that when the old duo walked into the room and asceitained the subject upon which they were delibeiaiing, he remarked, in an empaiic tone: M Gentlemen, I will tell you whom lo appoint, (all were silent.) Appoint General Howard, of Indiana; he is an honett man, I have known him long." The appointment was made, and before sunset was forwarded to Lim, and the first intimation he had of it, was its reception. He visited Chicago, and spent some three months in investigating these claims, and made his lepoit, which was very voluminous, to the government; and it is worthy of lemaik, lhat since that report was made, we have passed through a high state of political excitement: Administrations have changed; new books have been opened, and I might say private character has been attacked in every diiection, and all cla.es and paities of men have felt its Wicheling influences. And though this icport contained opinions, and decisions, in which tingle individuals were inteiested to the amount of filtj thousand dollars, and near leo years had elapsed, from the lime it was made, until his death, dunng which time, he wa an active and watm pariizan, in the political world ; yet fiom that period, up to Ihe present time, not a whisper of suspicion has ever been ottered against his integrity, or his fidelity to the government, or to the ciiizetl. He was not only a native, but an admirer of the south, and was partial to a distinguished citizen of the State of his biith i and like the son of his own native land, be was warm 3D1 ardent in bis feclingi, and unwaveiing in hi couie. Notwithstanding he was bom and educated in the south, he was aa ludiaoran. He felt a deep and abiding interest in her welfare, and I know of no citizen who exeited himself mote than he diJ, on all occasions, to extricate ihe Stale fiom her eitittarriHinentj. I remember, in February, !Sj41, when a propositi"" was befoie Cougres, tu appropriate a large quantity" of labd to continue Ihe Vafcah and Srie Canal from Ter re Haute to Evansville, and he was ab rut to visit Washington city for the purpose of luithering hat object, that a fi lend wrote warmly to him, urging hin tot to visit Washington; saying that there was a Contest bflween the canal and river inteiesi, and that it would ir jure him in his fume political prospects. To that friend he gave the following aiswei : The time for making every thing bend to future political intertxts hat pasted by: th Statt hat been trodden down by tuih thingi: J am fur the redemption of the Slate' And although he did not live to see the till pass Congress, which was the germ fiO'i, which haa sprung; a aeries of legislative measuies, thai it is believed will plice the ciedit and character cf the Slate on lii;h ground, yd lie contributed prea'ly in preparing the action r.f Congre for the passage of the bill; and it may be rnentiourd in this connrctiuu, lo show the cuDtideiice that a distinguished member of Cuugieis of Tem-essee, (now your Postmaster Geueial.) had in Howard, of whom it will be no di.ciedit t' say, that he always walched. with an eagle eye, all appiopnations ; and when this measure was on Us final passage, to the suiprie of all who knew him, he votd "Aye," and when interrogated as to his vote, gave tins laconic reply "Howard said it was right !" Howard said it was ribl" Howard possessed a mind that always appeared to thirst for iiilormaiiori ever on the alert ever active, and no situation in life could ptevent him fiom investigating things mound him. . liow ofien have those who knew him well, seen him in the mU'st of conversation, suddenly stop and g t ) examine some old copy of ßaile's Dictionary, some ancient map or chronological char. Aside from bis profound and ex'ensive knowledge in bi profession, bis acquitments in history, poli'ics, geography, geology, nuneroloy, botany, naiuial, moral, and meoul philosophy, auj theological subjects, were astonishing toordmaiy minds. Cemhinmg such a mass of iofoimation a powerful intellect and a vivid

inoaginatien, with a powerful voice, a dignified and noble peisonal appearance, a daik, pierring, exprcs ive eye, and a lofty liberality and eaoestties of smtiiiieiit these made him, what he truly was, a most poweiful speaker. With all this, connect his active and never ceajing benevolence, his strict regard for justice, his high srnse of honor, together with his deep feelings of pity, and the well known puiity of hi whole life tlusc gave him a power acd influence in society, of which any man living might be justly proud. He was at all times ready, apparently without preparation, to discuss or lecture en any subject ; and his addiesses and eomersaiiin were invariatly characterized by chasteness and beauty of language, originality of thought, and close

logical connection. His tyi was eay;"ud his phrases J anj the construction of sentences weie Etglish uot the English of the ciowd, nor the Englisa of the king, but the king's English, as it is s;okeu in ihe dignified couvetsaliou of intelligent men." In his commcnci-tnen t of an irumrci, he advanced into his yubject as a man would in the dark, feeling his way; but when fail ly into il, there was a strength of thought, a dignity of language illustrations natural as life ilseif, and mciaphois that weie original, striking, and not uoftequcntly bold, and that swept all before him. He appeared to understand the etiVct of his arguments upou the mind of his hearers; if one argument did not answer, he used another; if one illustration diJ not succeed, he had another at command ; and at no time did he foigct Ihe appropriate place for his imagination, memory and reason to act their part never lost his balance, but made each perform its office. The true secret of his success as a speaker, consisted in this, that he spoke fiom the alTections lo Ihe affections it was not peison, his gesticulation, his manner, bis imagination, his power of reasoning alone it was bis deep feeling the gushing of the soul; it was the heart of man speaking to tue heart of man it was bis earnestness, eye, countenance, attitude and manner, showing that be understood, believed, and felt what he said. His character piesents one of the noblest specimens of humanity; it exhibits to us a powerful intellect, combined with high moial feelings, controlling those strong passions which give eneigy and force of character to the mau. He wasp man of anient temperament, of stiong pissions; yet he held iu perfect sul je tnn all his evil natuie, insomuch that he never spke iu anger; nor did hate, or euvy, lind a seat in his bosom. He had kindness and sympathy for every human being. Wheu an object of huiuau suffering ptesented itself, his benevolence knew no bounds; and when was the day in our own village, when Howard's name did not head the list of contributions, for benevolent objects lie gave latgely, for x mal, in his ciicumstances in life, to the Wabash College, Indiana University, i.e. i.e., and lo all Ihe benevolent institutions of ihe day. " Denevolence, generosity, charity, piety, patience, fidelity, courage, all shone conspicuously in him, and might extort from the beholder Ihe impressive interrogatory. For what place was this mau made ! was it for political life ? for a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives of the United States ? was it for the liench or the bar ? was it for public or private life? was it to fill the pl.ee of husband, father, ueighbor, friend, christian lor which of these was he born The answer is, for all if them. He was born to fill the largest, and most varied ciicle of human excellence; aud the whole voyage of his life was one continued nd benign circumnavigitioo of all ihe beauties which adorn and eunoble the character of man." Hi pleasures mud amusements were few and simple; in his study, and iu the retirement of his loving family, he found rest from the labais of the diy. lie gave much of his time to reflection, and was frequently alone ; this world did not possess many charms to allure him with ; and the rude tides of this little earth seemed to flow by without soiling his gaimeuls. Out my brethren of the bar, and indeed to you, on and all, who participate in public discussions, we have before us, in the life and character of Howard, a noble example, a rich pattern to imitate, in the style and manner of speaking, and in our iutetcou;se with one another. Could we but realize with him, how high aud how sacred is the gift of speech ; lhat words are the representatives of our thoughts the -winged messengers of love or wrath, from the sou); that their consequences for good or for evil, are soon beyond their control and calculation ; could we, my friends, imitate his kindness in our intercourse with each other speak no evilcopy his urbanity, and keep befoie us his example, in always putting the best construction upon each other's conductcould we, as lawyers, follow out his rich example, in the management of our law-suits use the same delicacy and politeness with witnesses and parlies, and make use of the same exertions, to avoid injuring the feelings of those around us, no one could tell the amount of good we would do; and how much we should advance the peace and quiet of the whole community in which we move. He has left a mass of information, in mamiscripts, on various snbjects. His addiesses and speeches, while a member of Ihe Tennessee Senate, and while a member of Congies, and his lectures on a variety of subjects, would make a volume of great interest, and will no doubt find their way to the public, connected with a full history of his life, by the aid of some one competent to the task. On the morning of the 4th of July, 1S44, two years ago, he left our little village, and le ft many wet and weeping eyes. Your speaker will long remember the last words that fell from his hps, as he held him by the baud, aud bade him farewell. Ou the 27th of July, he arrived at Galveston, after a long and tedious passage fium New Orleans, being about ten days under a tropical sun. On the 29th of July, he arrived at the city of Houston ; on the 1st of August, at Washington, Ihe capital of Texas, and met bis old fiiend General Houstou, and was received by the cabinet, and duly acciedited the minister lo the young republic. His reception and address on that occasion was all that his friends could have desiied: and one writes, that during the time he was with us, he made many warm and ardent f 1 lends. On Satuiday, the lOih of August, he complained of a pain in his neck and shoulder, to which be was subject. Doctor Jones, then the acting Secretary of State, and subsequently the President, and Doctor Heard, were his attending physicians. On Tuesday, the 13ih of August, his fever abated: on Wednesday he was able to sit up, and was thought to be convalescent; on Thursday, the 15th of August, he had a retum of the pains of the pievious night, and from that time he tapidly sunk ; and on Friday, the 10th of August, he expired, at 15 minutes tcfoie 12 o'clock, at the bouse of John Farquher, thiee miles from Washington. Howard was a christian, and in his v.ows of Christianity was a liberalist. I have never known any man who took so wide a view of religious liberty. He kept constantly before bim, and piaciiced through life this truth that our political libeity glows out of, and must ever rest upon the great puiilatiic doctrine of the iliuct allegiance of every man to God, and his consequent right aud duty lo serve Him according to the dictates of his owu conscience, whatever Bishops, Popes, Presidents or moderators may say to Ihe coutrary. The forms and ceremonies of churches had little to do with his Christianity. I verity believe that Howaid could have lived iu any chuich in christeudom, a pious and devoted man. Howaid died as be had lived a christian. His last words to Dr. Jones, his attending physician, weie, " all is right " and to another fiiend who was with him iu his last moments, he said I suffer much: the paroxysm is great, but the Lord is my Shepherd." In the last letter written to bis wife, but a few days before his death, and almost as if he had a piesentiment of bis appioaching end, he tepeats from his favorite Psalm,' the Lord is my Shepherd, suiely goodness and meiry shall follow me all the days of my life." He is gone, and we know, and fe-l, aud tnouin our loss. His life had been one of self-denial aud toil, and by labor and application he had acquired a mass of varied and profound learning; and having reached that point in life which piomised a bnght career of usefulness In his country, and distinction to himself, in the providence of God, for reasons aud purposes inscrutable to us. he has been called away. . And though he expited far from his native laud, without the kind otlices of wife aud daughters to smooth Ihe bed of death, yet he was, " By tiangeis honored, and by strangers mourned." War SIMONS.

That A. had previously sued the indorsera and recovered judgment npxinst one of them, (process not served on the other) that B. had entered himself as bill fir the stay of execution on said judgment, and that the bail was sutlicicnt. Held, that the fperia! plea was bad. The assignee's ri'ht to uu the maker of a promissory note, governed by the lawmerchant, is not taken away by a judgment recovered against the indorser, until that judgment is satisfied. The entry of the bail in this cose, was only a security fur the judgment and not a satisfaction of it. Upon demurrer to a special plea being sustained when the general issue is also pleaded, il is erro. to render final judgment. Tlie general issue tendeis an issue of fact lo be tried by the court or by a jury, and unless such issue should be found lor the phiiniiif, final judgment could lint be rendered.

A purchaser of real estate, where the possession is vacant, is not bound tu inquire of the late' occupier what was the nature of bis title, and will not be held to have implied notice of the information which might have been obtained by inquiry.

The third plea was, that Lewis, lor whose use the suit was brought, was not in esse. Held, that the plea tendered an immaterial issue. Where a defendant at law files a bill for discovery merely against the plaintiff with a view of using his answer on a trial at law, he must allege in his bill, only that the facts sought to be obtained by the answer are material to his defence, and not that ho cannot establish it without them, and he may use the answer when obtained or not on the trial at law, as he chooses.

Held, that in this ease the facts show that according to the contract, the making of the deed and the payment of the promissory note which last fell due, were to be concurrent acts, and that an oiler to make a deed was therefore necessary before the suit could be maintained on the note. Held, that the writing obligatory stands on the same ground as the notes ; if a suit cannot bn maintained on them, neither can it be on the writing obligatory. Reversed. S'toaff et al.v. Jones.

Averment in the negative that they were not bound to pay the bills. Held, that it should also have been averred, that the defendant knew, at the time he made the representations, that the acceptors were not bound to pay the bills. An indictment for obtaining goods by false pretences should allege the ownership of the goods obtained. Reversed. .Xichols v. Woodruff. Error to the Lagrange C. Court. DlackfoFiD, J. In n n action upon an instrument in writing promising to pay a sum of money upon a contingency, the consideration need not be averred, as the instrument is within tho Gill section of the 31st chapter of the 11.

Tho proof of an entry upon' the record of deeds made by the recorder at the proper time, of the redemption of mortgaged premises, ia not conclusive evidence of such redemption, but may be rebelled by other evidence. If an agreement he made for the payment of the purchase money of mortgaged premises, on condition . that the land shall not be ri;deeinnd within one year, the condilion is not defeated by a release by the person having a right to redeem to the person making such agreement.

In no action .of slander for charging the plniiitilT with having committed perjury, the delendatit, lo sustain a plea of justification, must give as conclusive proof as would be necessary to convict the plaintiff of perjury on an indictment. A mere preponderance of evidence, contrary to the general rule in civil cases, is not sufficient. Evidence of repetition of the slander, mads after the words charged in the declaration were spoken, is admissible to prcve tho malice with which the words npoken at the tune and in the manner charged in the declaration were uttered, but auch evidence is not admissible by way of aggravation lo increase the damnges. Reversed. t'opkins 9. Mijtrt. Appeal from tho Wabash C, C. Perkiks, J. m llill for an injunction restraining an action of ejectment. The defendant in the ejectment was in possession, under contract ol purchase by title bond. The bill did not show that a demand ot possession had been made before ihe ejectment was commenced. Held, lhat the bill did not aliow such a want of a defence at law as would entitle him to an injunction.

Their preat power consists in their peculiar etlect upon all the organs of the system, and the rapid formation of new und rick blood, which they produce. In this lies the great secret of their success. They are mild and pleasant in their action, but searching and permanent in their etterl; penetrating the remotest recesses of tl.e syteui by their ready absorption into the blood, thereby infusing a new supply of vitality and nervous power into all the machinery of hie. The extensive popularity they have acquired aii over the west arid south, ensures sales of at least 50,00(1 IS.ei per ITIoinh, And we find it ditlicult, w ith our large force of hands, and thelnte improvements ia machinery which w e have adopted, to manufacture them fast enough to supply the demand in thirteen western und southern States! One large manuiactory is constantly engaged in preparing the various concentrated extracts of which tliey are composed. From the best information we can obtain from our e,000 seiltng agents, and hosts of attentive correspondents in all parts of the rountry, our medirine cures, per month, not less than 10,000 oases of FeVer and Ague, one thousand of which have rekisted all other treatment; 4,000 cases ol Bilious Fever ; 5,:t00 do ot weakness and general debility ; V..A0O do of various chronic diseases ; 2,000 do of weak stomach and lossof appetite; HI0 do of Dyspepsia ; l.'.HK) do of Kheumatism; ,000 do of Female complaints; 1,'JOO do or Ague Cake, or Enlarged Spleen; l,5l0 do of Liver Complaint ; 500 do of Scarlet Fever ; 400 do of Typhus Fever ; 3( 0 do of I'm. id Sore Throat. This must appear almost incredible, but the numerous letters from physicians, agents, and those who use the medicine, fiom all the western and southern States, satisfy ns that this is a moderate estimate, and that our medicine is rapidly taking the place of the various surar-eoated counterfeits whu h are afloat, and the numerous tonic mixtures, made w holly of vuintae, which are imposed Upon the public by manufacturers who live, nobody knows icmrrw I Dr. Brarrg's famous f ugar Coated Indian Queen Vceialle Fills are of two hinds the Cathartic and Tonic. The Tonic pills are peculiarly adapted to the quick and permanent cure of Fever and Ague, torpor of the Liver, and genentl debility. It is in Fever and Ague, Chill Fever, fcr., that they achieve their greatest triumphs. It rarely requires over twelve hours; or more than half a box of the tonic pil;s, to break the clii lis and etlect a permanent cure which is rarely the case with Ihe tonic mixtures of quinine, haw k ed about the country by ignorant pretenders. Those who take the tonic pills will never forsake them. Who can wonder, then, that a medicine of such extensive popularity, and extraordinary virtues should cause Great eicitemmt among the Doctors! The prejudices of physiciiins against their line are at last giving way to the play ot reason, and ihn convictions of every -day experience which they derive from their patient and friends who use them. Doctor are now alraont every day sending orders from every part of the country for asupply of these pills to use in their practice. Here is one all the way from the State of Mississippi, just received.
