DIED-At Berlin, Scott county. on Wednesday
evening last WILLIAM DAWSON, infant son,
and only child of the editor Of this paper aged nine
months and nine days.
The friends and acquaintance Of the family are
invited to attend the funeral from the residence of
the father at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
But three weeks have expired since it was our
melancholy duty to pay the last tribute Of respect and
friendship to the mother Of the deceased, the amiablc
and beloved companion Of our afflicted friend, the
Editor.
Affection has fallen suddenly and powerfully up
on him, and most sincerely do we sympathize with
him in these, his hcart-rcnding bereavcments In
the bloom of life he is severed from those cndeared
to him by early and devoted love, and all the ties Of
natural and social life. r.

THE MADISO A N .


In the House yesterday, Mr.. Bolts-having
heretofore failed in heading the Presidential
tempted TO head the Hon. }. Z. Spencer, the
Secretary of War; by introducing resolution,
as question Of pririlege, TO institute com
miltee to inquire into the truth Of the statement
of that gentlemen, in his letter addressed in
October last to his friends in New York, with
Wing party TO postpone the question of a
Bank, provided their friends should be retained
in office. The House very wisely, however
refused TO crafty Mr.. Bolts. Mr.. Underwood
then took up the subject, but with no better
success than his illustrious predecessor. And
thus nearly the entire day in the House was
consumed in this fIuitless endeavor
