But a few weeks have passed since a deep gloom was cast over our country by the death of the great statesman of the west. It had long been under* stood that this great light was flickering in its socket. and must soon go out. Still the annouueement when it same, was laden with sadness, and we have all since then been disposed to look with warmer aflection and more glowing graiitude to his great composer and associate the intelligence of whose sudden decease will fall like a funeral pall upon the publio mind thoughout that Union lo which be gave his best affections and noblest efforts. 1 had met Mr. Webster repeatedly prior to 1033, but my personal acquaintance with him may be said to have commenced with my first winter at

singularly strong, and this circumstance, perhaps led to a series ol kind sols and courtesies towards me during the session of 1833—'4, and afterwards the greaiful roc ollection of whioh will never beef laced. I mourn for him as for a friend whose personal regard my own heauJvas givenjbaok arue and full response.

Among eminent citizens of commanding power and influence, while I was in the Senate, he stood perhaps, pie-eminent. In his rich combination of qualities as an oraior, lawyer, and ntatesman, it may safely be said he had no rival. How forcibly and sadly we are reminded of the great men with whom he was associated in the Senate chamber, and who preceded.him in his transit through th«Lrdark val leyt v. m' t, rrii •«.

White, Grundy, Forsyth, Southard, Wall. Linn Sevier, Silas Wrighl. Hill, Woodbury, Calhoun, Clay—men who left their impress upon the agenames iudissolubly connected with fame and his tory of their oouniry—all, like hiin whose death we are now called upon to deplore, were links in the chain which bound the past generation to the present and all like him. are now on the other side of that narrow line which divides time from eter* niiy. r.t, .b.4i

Upon whom have their inantals fallent Who re to take their places in the perils through which our country may be called to pass? Who, with patriotic courage and statesman like forecast are to guide in the stormes that will, at times, inevitably threaten us, in our unexampled development of resources as a nation, our almost fearful progress our position ef amazing responsibility aa the great, confederated, self-governing power of the globe?—These are questions which will press themselves upon all minds but who, alas! can satisfactorily answer them?

To speak of Mr. Webster's genius, his various and solid attainments, his services, would be to discourse of matters as familiar even to the children of his native state, as household words. Be sides, this must be left to vigorous pens and eloquent tongues, after the first gush of grief, and op pressive sense of loss, shall, to some extent, have passed away. It is, and long has been, my firm conviction, that Mr. Webster had a hold upoa the

no lull oDportunity to measure it. You, Kir. Chairman, have truly said that Mr. Webster's greatness was of that rare character whioh no earthly position could exalt He came to official stations, as he approached all subjects presented to his mind, their master. He has reared for himself a vast pillar of renown, which will stand in undiminished strength and grandeur, when the works of man's hands erected lo his honor, wtli he like Nineveh and I fear, when this Unio& may have shared the fate which was the dread of his later years.

A few years ago, when the distinguished brother of the deceased was called to an insiiatti from time to eternity in the court room in this place, with the last words of a j^erfect sentence lingering upon his lips, another oitiuens, most eminent and beloved. (the late lammed George Sullivan) exclaimed—What shadow* we are, what shadows we par' sue!* How these emjMtthaUc words cone back to us here, as if by an echo!

How mere earthly honors and distinct ions fade away uunhl a gloom like this—how political asperities are chaten! whet a lesson to the livii&g —whai an admonition to personal moiievolence, ttow awed and subdued, as the great heart of the nssion throhs heavily at the portals of the grave!

I have no heart to speak, or to contemplate" the extent of the loss we have sustained. As a

^The Remarks of Gen. Pierce On the Character of Mr* Webster*^ In Concord, N. II. on Monday, at 10 o'clock, most of the stores and offices were closed, and business was suspended and soon after the Rep resentatives' Hail was crowded full of citizens, large number of ladies being present.

A series of resolutions were offered and read after which they oalled upon Gen. Pierce to address the meeting. The crowded Hall became as still as leath, as Geu. Pierce rose to comply and with leep emotion which at times almost ov&roame him, uid in a calm and impressive manner, suited to the ocasion, he spoke ns follows:

Mr. Chairman: how deeply hive all the hesrt& lieen impressed by the fervent appeal lo that Powin which our fathers put their trust in the hour their weakness and trials? And how has that olemn impression been enhanced by the last words of the truly great man, just read by Rev. Dr. liouton.

A Good Story.

We have heard a good story told of a yodng fellow« residing its one of the tobacco growing oounUes of Virginia, who mode his,first visit to tbe capital of the "old Dominion," for the purposa of selling hts crop, seeing the sights,' and rubbing off the rust which his backwoods "fetching op" had thrown upon his manners. He reached Richmond about the middle of the afternoon, and was fortunate in selling his crop at an advantageous-rate, and almost immediately. Meeting with an old Schoolmate, one who had lived in that city long enough to know its ways, he wis advised to take up his Jodgingsi at Boyden's tbe crack house of the place and thither he went bag and baggage.— Just before dinner his country friend called upon him, and found him comfortably located in a room just at the head of the first stairs. It was near dinner time. OW*

"Suppose we take sonjethifig to start an appetite," said the chop who had come down* "Agreed," rejoined the city friend, "a glass of wipe and bitters for me '•Let's go down to the bar arid get f( 'diiiner is almost ready," continued the tobacco grower.

'•Ring that bell there/' *4Wbat bell?" ma W* "Pull that rope hanging there." The young fellow laid hold of the rope and gave it a jerk, and just at that moment the gong sounded for dinner. Never had he heard such a sound before, and the rumbling crash came on his ear with a report that stunned him. Ue staggered back from tbe rope, raised both hands with horror and exclaimed.* "Great Jerusalem what a smash? I've broken every piece of crockery in the house! There alnt a whole dish left! Ypu must stick by «ne old fellow," addressing his friend—"don't leave me in this scrape, for my whole crop won't half pay the breakage. What did you tell mfe to touch that cursed rope for?" .w if ^d#liWdoia Ff —r4siU tM.

After a violent fit of laughter, the friend exclaimed that it was only the gong sounding for dinner simple summons to "walk down to-soup" got up on the Chinese plan. They made their way to the dinner room, but it was some time before the to-1 bacco grower could get over the stunning and aweffects of that gong.

A Romantic Escape from Prison.Henry Hayden, convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the Penitentiary, by the late term of the Wabash, (Ind..) Circuit Court, escaped from jsil on Monday of last week, by a most artful trick upon the sheriff. His wife visiting him in company with her children, to give him a parting adieu previous to his being carried to JefTersonville changed apparel witli him in the absence of the Sheriff, who upon coming info the cell was much affected at the apparent excru-i dating distress of the parties. When tha time had come for separating them, the prisoner disguised as the wife, made his exit from confinement, while the woman was retained in jail. The officer.was shortly made acquainted with the ruse

which had
