OBITUARY.

In the death Of TuLLr X. WISE, the Government
has lost one of its best officers, and society OF It's
most useful members for he a of eapacious
and cultivated intellect, and an honest and suileless
heart
Mr.. Wise was for many years a member of the
Court Of AecDmac county, Virginia, Of which
county he was native he served repeatedly 10 the
Legislature Of Virginia and in every capacity, whe-
Their az a minister of justice, legislator Auditor OF
the United States Treasury Department, his correct
Judgment and exact mparliality inspired the conf
dence and respect of all who knew him.
Mr.. Wise was true Virginia gentleman, and his
death will strike gloomly the ears of thousands
who, while partakiDg of his unbouuded Inequalities
or in official intercourse with him, have been equal
| ly charmed by his qualities Of head and heart.
The disposition Of the subject OF this brief notice
was uniformly gentle and benevolent he would for
give AN injury without reluctance, aud as readily
atone for one Inadvertently committed by himself
He was brave, generous, and just.
But if society, and the public, have met with SO
great a loss in the death of Mr.. Wise-who esti-
mate the magnitude Of the bereavement to the sur
vvng partner Of his BOSOM the sharer of all his Joys
and all his SORROWS, Who calculate the loss to
his family Of young children, whose educatons and
characters we know he was anxious to be acquir-
ed and formed under his parental supervision Re-
lance can be placed only OH the eternal "irend OF
the widow and the fatherless ~
1t will be consolation to the relatives, come T.
ions and friends Of the deceased, to know that he
died "cnmly an infant sleeping" at peace
with all mankind, and we may reasonably hope with
bis God.
FULLY r. WISE was not, as has been supposed by
some, brother of Henry A. Wise. He was Sc
cond cousin and broiher-in-law his wife being the
only sister of II. A. W. j.

named Raphael Brown, paid of from his ship

from his father, stating that his sister had gone on,

he became insane HIMSELF the chief indication Of his
disorder being propensity to drink immoderatey OF
soda water. He quilted the steamer leaving his
clothes on board. He went to the Ship-Inn, where
his demands for soda water astonshed every BODY -
Between Saturday night and Monday afternoon he
consumed the enormous quantity of one hundred and
twenty bottles He afterwards went to another pub

began to talk so rratonally calling for knife to
cut his throat that an officer was sent for The lat

sock their posts, and, by concerted arrangement,
practically exempfed the tendencies OF their lead
ers heretical opinions They violated in very truth,
their oalhs Of Office, which bound them To National
as well as State Constitutions and that such conduct
violation Of the spirit of the Constitution must be
allowed, when the consideration forces itself upon
us that a perseverance in such high-handed
measures would leave our National Constitu-
ton without solitary defender. For how, at least,
could the Senate be constituted, if representative
to that body is chosen in a single State and how
could an individual Senator be chosen, If sufficient
number OF State Legislators resgnao prevent cleo
tom
That such abominable proceedings resulted as
practical exemplifcatons Of this madness of party
spirit so much lostered in l642 by designing polit-
Clans we have not the slightest doubt. The 'Whigs'
of Ohio felt sure of the concurrence of the "Whgs'
in Congress, and of the sympathetic appreciation OF
that party generally.
But il is chiefly on account of their demoralizing
that deprecate these exhibitions OF the
fell party spirit which destroys for selfish purposes,
Constitution and laws and which violates, without
compunction the rules Of social intercourse and the
endearing charities of life Certainly at period
in our national history was there ever exhibited
such lax morality, and such depraved ambition; and
he observes but specifically who understands not
the too apparent causes. Besides the accustomed
violence, which is closely connected with poti
cal contentious to infame the minds of the People,
the introduction Of the basest selfish motives into ev-
cry contest adds greater strength and produces
desperate efforts. The power Of the purse is OPP
posed TO the force of principle; and we well i'm
agne that between such conflicting motives of ac-
ton, severe and holly disputed must be the contest
To all who hold their principles dearer than gold,
who scorn to be purchased like slaves in the market
we address ourselves in this great peril of our ber
ties and of the Constitution Let them rally round
the old Republican banner which still floats on the
breeze, as manfuy and as steadily as their fathers
in the dark days that preceded, accompanied, and
followed the revolution. For now, then, tre-
mendous war is to be waged, and in these times as
in those, for principle.
We deny not that the prospect before US is awful
we are not blind to the darkness of the tempest
which seems gathering around us--but We see, above
the clouds, the star of our Constitution, shining in
distant but clear serenity; we hail lis suspicious
and are inspired with hope that by ITS
saving guidance, we shall be enabled to weather the
storm and ride triumphantly through the gale.

Extraordinary Eccentricity Of an English LADY,
Paris rather the environs of Paris possess at this
ment foreign woman who excites, in the greatest
degree the curiosity Of all her ne ghbors IL is al.
frmed that this lady, who is of English origin, and
named Lady Stanhope, lives in the most myseriou.
way, surrounded by large number of female ser.
wants, who have been taught the utmost discretion
When she goes out she is always accompanied by
FIVE or six or six of her women, dressed exactly in
the same way and their faces covered with long
thick wells, so that one cannot know who is the ms.
tress. A thousand conJectures are current on the
subject. The that attans most credence is that
the strange lady is other than the celebrated Lady
StanhoPe, whose romantic destiny has supplied the
theme of many travellers narrative According
to this account, Lady Stanhope did not die in Syria
hIee or four years ago, as was alleged but only made
herself pass for dead, and it is She as is affirmed
who is now again on her travels. Such eccentrcity
would be worthy of the solitary lady of the Lebanon
Revue de Paris.
