Postscript.
Washington, Feb. II.

VdWtnSton, REQ. u.
We have the pain Of annouucing the death
of another member OF Congress. The Hon.
William A. Burwell, a member Of the house
Of Representatives from the state of virgi.
MIA, breatbed bis last about two o'clock yes.
terday, after an illness of two or three weeks.
Though not much older than forty years,
Mr.. Burwell had been member Of the house
of representatives for fifteen successive years,
and was nearly the oldest member of the
house. He was man of sterling integrity,
which passed untouched, even by the breath
OF SANDER, the ordeal of this life. As poll.
tIcian, be was virtuous, and be was consis.
tent: a. friend be was beloved and admir-.
ed. To bis late wife, Dy whose side he is
about to De laid, he was an exemplary con.
sort, and to his only son most affectionate
father. He retained bis senses to the end,
and almost bis last words were, that he had
no reason to fear the approach Of death.
- MAT. Int.
A CLEAN of hope breaks in upon the gloom
which has overshadowed the prospect Of a
settlement of the Missouri Question. We
have some hopes that the resolution propo,.
ed by Mr.. Roberts will pass. 1t was worthy
of a Representative Of Pennsylvania, The
"key stone OF the Federal ARCH" to step
forward as the mediator between the con-
tending parties on this question. Ths
whole Union will be indebted to Pennsyl
vania by her means, it is brought to hap.
