In this village, on Sunday morning the
2Olh ult., in the twenty-sixth year of his
age, after a painful sickness, GEORGE r.
WRGGHT, Esq. Editor of the Albanian 49,
Mr.. Wright was native of Ludlow, Yer
mont and had been aresident of this Stale
a little less than two years. He was char
acterized by kindness and affability Of man
ner, and was endeared TO all by his private
and social virtues. His heart was ever
open to the warmest emotions Of friendship
and sympathy. Decision, and love Of jus
tlce. were prominent traits in his character.
His mind was deeply stored with intellect
ual treasures-with classic and general
knowledge. As a son, and brother, he was.
ever dutiful aud affeetionate; and in all the
obligations and relations OF society, he was
always found on the side of virtue and NOR
atty. It is seldom that stranger has ever
won so deeply on the hearts of commu IL
ty, as was the fortune Of Mr.. Wright in this
neighborhood All aoere has tI'iends---aH
are has mournerS.
1t is mysterious dispensation of ProVi-
dence, by which his course of usefulness
and bright promise, has been cut short; but
we would bow in submission to His will
who doeth all things well.
During his last illness, his thoughts were
much occupied with the mysteries of Re-
demptiou, and the doctrines of the Bible,
His views of sin. were distinct, and his APP
prehension of the plan of salvation scriptu-
raj and there is the most pleasing and sat
isfactorY evidence, that, in this his hour of
extremity, ne was enabled to surrender his
heart TO Christ, and through faith in the.
Atonement, to repose his dying head upon
the bosom of his all gracious Saviour, and
breathe his lie out sweetly there. His only
desire to live was, that his might be the life
of a Christian. A large circle of friends
mourns. his early death; but they grieve not,
as those without hope.

have gone through with the Memoir, and
can truly say that / have never before read
any biography with SO much profit and
delight. Much as had anticipated in
perusing the lives of those emirently
faithful men, | have found nv utmost
expectations excelled. The great person
al friendship which existed between those
dear servants of God and myself will
doubtless account for much of the salts
faction enjoyed in retraeing events, and
recalling scenes familiar to memorv.-
There is, however, another and still high
er source Of enjoyment-the exhibition
of their characters as displayed in the
course OF the work is so truly ministerial
The workings Of the inner man as it
exists in the bosom of the Christian and
the preacher, are portrayed with an hon.
esty that commends itself to the heart. |
have never before found my own feelings
so plainly brought to view think the
book must take rank next to Bunyan's
celebrated Pilgrims Progress. Sensible
that the work will be profitable 10 all who
read IT, and that it is particularly appro

WHAT NEXT?

a friend Of mine who has recently been
travelling in the north part Of the State,
has Just given me call and related Two
facts, which, taken in connection, appeared
10 him. 70 use his own language. to be 100
good 10 keep. They are ,hese:-In the
town Of Jericho he saw man wko had
recently stopped the Telegraph, because
he guessed, from something he had heard,
>that the Editor was Van Barea man
In another TOM in that region he does
not recollect which-another Telegraph
subscriber .old him that he was about to
stop the Telegraph, because he guessed,
from something he bad heard, that the
Editor was Harrison man. Both Of
these acknowledged that the Telegraph
had stecred straight. They could mol,
either Of them. sustain their charges
against the Editor, from anything they
had seen in his paper,
The probability is, that whatever was
wanting, il anything. in rumors circulated
bv busy enemies ofthe Telegraph, TO con-
firm these individuals ia their diametrical-
II opposite views, was supplied by their
. own fruitful ina ginations and sound logic
al exercises, 10 this way:-The friend o.
Harrison. doubtless, thought that because
opposed Harrison, therefore | was .
supporter Of Van Buren. And the frienC
of Van Buren,. doubtless, thought tina
because opposed Van Buren, therefor

reasoning have everywhere had 10 meet
among men claiming 10 be rational an
. candid. It will be seen that the reasoning
is Just as sound on the one side as on tn
other. Their is no soundness in either.
Here is a fair exhibition OF the col
rnpiing tendency Of modern politics.
These individuals, on either side, pra,
ticaIly treat the one who differs wit

The Fayetteville Observer, referring to an
address of John M. Morehead, Esq, the
Wing Candidate for Governor ofNorth Car
DINA, says:-
Gone remark of Mr.. Morehead's which we
report from recollection, is worthy of special
attention. Speaking of Gen. Harison's opin-
ions on the subject OF Abolition, he stated,
that Judge of the Superior Court of North
Carolina, (of course it was Judge Settle to
whom he alludod,) was a member of the
same mess with Gen. Harrison in 1920, when
the Missouri Question came before Congress.
The Judge informed Mr.. Morehead, that on
the night before the question was taken on the
bill to admit Missouri without restriction,
Gen. Harrison said to him, 81 hare often risk
edmy life IN tie field in defence Of my country,
and I shall tc-morro,o rish my political life an
favor 9fhe Union Of the States.' On the next
day he voted with the South, and the conse-
quence was as he predicted. He lost for the
time, his popularity, and was beaten for Con-
gress."

THE ARMY BILL.
MIR. POLNSEIT'S LETTER.

We have again read over Mr.. Poinsctt's
letter eXculpatory and explanatory of his plan
for organizing the militia, and il still appears
that in all his references to plans previously
proposed under former administrations by
means of which he endeavcrs to Justify his
own, there is no aliusion made to the raain
point at issue. III very certain that most of
our Presidents, if not ali, since the formatio Ii
of the Government, have recommended some
organization of the-pilitia. Since the law of
1892, the subject has been brought before
Congress frequently, with the view Of alter.
ing the system Instituted by tliat law. Some
more efficient arrangement was necessary to
answer the purpose intended. But because
the plan was found defective and somewhat
particular amendments or an entire remodel
ling were deemed advisable, il did not follow
that the Constitution was 10 be violated and
the rights Of the States invaded, III order that
more efficient militia system might be es-
tablished.-'The fact that the old plan was
defective might Justify a change-but what
the country complains Of and feels indignant
at, Is that the change proposed by this Admi-
nstration involves 4 most palpable outrage
. upon the constitutional rights Of the States,
and the personal freedom of citizens.
MIR. Ponsett, III his letter, says -
"My plan recommends the division of the
whole territory of the United States into mill
tary districts; an arrangement, which will be
acknowledged by every person acquainted
with the subject, to be extremely useful to
the service in time of peace, and absolute ne
cessary In war;"
In time of war the arrangement is unques-
tionably good enough; for then the President
is justly empowered to call out the militia and
to employ them in the service of the country.
The Constitution allows this, and Congress
is expected to provide for it. But in time OF
peace the matter is altogether different To
group together several States and to consoIi-
date them into one great province, appropria-
ted as the locality ofa given number of arm
ed legions, is proceeding somewhat new in
the history of this Government, and not alto
gether in keeping with the genius of cur in
stitutions.
The Secretary says further Of his plan =
'It contemplates the previous legislation Of
the States, before its provisions are to be car
ried into effect, exceptin cases where citizens
might volunteer their services
What previous legislation Of the States is
contemplated i'll the 18th section--for the Sc
cretary has most singularly neglected it in his
explanatory letter.

Injury to Mr.. SouthaA.-A letter was re-
ceived here on yesterday morning, informing
the family of Mr.. S. that he had received an
injury in attempting to jump out of the stage.
1t seems that one Of the horses had fallen
down, while the Stage was descending hill,
and Mr.. S. Immediately leaped out and either
dislocated or fractured one of his legs. The
lady Of Mr.. S. and DR.. Garter left here inme-
diately after the receipt of the letter. We
trust that they may find Mr.. S. not so much
injured as their fears had led them to suppose.
We learn that the accident occurred 80 miles
from Winchester, on the National Road
Mr.. S. was returning from Clarksburg, with
er he had been invited to address the people.
