the following Message was announced from the
President of the United States:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives.
Of The United States.
have to perform the melancholy duty of an
nouncing to the two Houses of Congress the
death of the Hon. Abel p. Upshur, late Secre-
tary of State, and the Hon. Thomas w. Gilmer,
late Secretary of the Navy.
This most lamentable occurrence transpired
on board the United States ship Of war the
Princeton, on Yesterday, at about half after four
o'clock in the evening, and proceeded from the
explosion of one of the large guns of the ship.
The loss which the Government and the
country have sustained by this deporable event
is heightened by the death, at the same time,
and by the same cause, Of several distinguished
persons and valuable citizens.
! shall be permitted to express my great grief
at an occurrence which has thus suddenly strick-
en- from my side two gentlemen upon whose
advice so confidently relied in the discharge
Of my arduous task of administering the Office
OF the Executive department, ard whose ser
vices at the interesting period were OF sucf
importance.
In some relief the public sorrow which must
necessarily accompany this painful event, it af
forls me much satisfaction 10 say that it was pro
ducCd through no carelessness or inattention or
the part Of the officers and crew cfthe Prime e
ton but must be set down one Of those casu
ul,ies which, to greater or less degree, ut
tend upon every service, and which are invaria

will also add that i, in no measure detrsct
in my estimation from the value of the improve
ment contemplated in the construction of tn
Princeton, or from the merits of her brave an
distinguished commander and proprietor

The Message having been read, Mr.. Rives
rose and addressed the Senate as follows:
Mr.. Prcsdent-The general feeling of the
Senate has, ] am sure already anticipated me
in what ] have risen to suggest The awful
calamity communicated to us in the message
Of the President just read, and which has made
Of yesterday, with all its unearthy brightness,
one o. the darkest and most inauspicious days
in our calender. is out too well known to the
Senate in all its dreadful details and heart
rendjng results Surely, Mr.. President, never
IN the mysterious ordinances Of God, has dav
on earth been marked IN its progress by such
startling and astounding conrasts-opennr
and advancing with hilarity and Joy, mutual
! congraulation and patriotic pride, and closing
"a scenes of death, and disaster. of lamenta-

| these never to be forgotten events. If had
! llnEuage to describe them, the power Of speech
would fail me.
! | have risen, in the midst of the universal
sadness and detection OF heart which prevail
around me, and under the overpowering weight
of my own feelings to suggest the propriety
Of Snsprnding our ordinary labors and pursuits
in the presence and ander the chastsement Of
-, this awful visitation Of Providence 1t has
fallen TO the lot of my own State TO be the
. chief mourner on this melancholy occasion.

Bat, IN SO overwhelming calamity, which
stands almost without parallel IN the records

Of MS can be in a state cf mind to diachlrge
with intelligence and composure, the duties
which belong to US here.
Let US then, Mr.. President, bowina in all
humility OF spirit beneath this stroke Of an all
wise and mysterious Providence, discard from
our minds, for Il season, the cares and excite
mcns OF cur daily duties in this hall, Let us
lay to heart the nontory lessons 90 impressive

the midst Of life We are in death" With this
lesson engravrn upon our hearts, let us keep
