 Mir. Yell, from the select committee, to whom was referred the resolutions in rela- ton to Public Printing, Heretofore reported, } reported the same back to the Eenate, and re- commended their adoption. Which was accordingly done. The resolutions provide for the election of a Public Printer, and for payng him the same rates of compensation paid for the printing of last session.
 Mir. Irwin moved to reseind the resolution oi the two Houses, agreeing to go into the election ot Judges and prosecuting. Attorneys on to-day, and to bring said elections on, to- morrow, al II o'clock, Mir. Smith moved

REMARKs OF MIR GAINES.

O6 HIS RESOLUTIONS IN REFERENCE TO THE
 DEATH OF THE HoN. Mn. s. FULTON.
 After reading the resolutions in his place, Mir. Gaines said, in substance:
 Mn. PREsiDENT:-ltis unnecessary for me, on this solemn occasion, to comment upon the virtues and character of the deceased- they are well known and fully appreciated by the public. Nor is itneedful that should enter into his history. His history is the history of the State of his adoption. His acts are intimately interWoven with her rise and progress-her prosperity and march in the path to her present elevation among her sis ter States. Besides his immediate neigAbors. who knew him best, have already, at a more suitable time, spoken ia terms not to be mis- understood, ol his great worth and admirable virtues in all his relations of lie, whether as a citizen, the head of a family, or a servant of the people, filling the highest stations in their gift. Again his able and worthy col- league in the Senate of the United States, and his intimate companion in the service of his country for many years, who knew him well, has given the strongest testimonials of his moral worth, and his great fidelity in the service of the State If further testimony were necessary, could say that l had the pleasure of the acquaintance of the deceased Senator during his life for number of years. That no one more deeply laments his un- timely death, and the consequent loss to the State of one of our best citizens and most valuable public servants. 1 heartily concur with his friends and neighbors in all they have said of him, and most earnestly recom- mend the adoption of the resolutions which ] have just read, as well merited tribute to his memory.

SENATORIAL, ELFCTlON.

The General Assembly went into the election oi United States Senator on Friday last, at o'clock, which resulted in the election of Colonel CHESTER ASHLEY, of this city For the particular vote, the reader is referred to the regular report of the pro- ceedings of the House on that day, to be found in another place. It is only necessary here to say that out of 96 votes, Co Ashley received 70 show ing him to be almost the unanimous choice of the Legislature
 Before the election we declined, forreasons here toiore made known, expressing preference between the worthy gentlemen, who were spoken of as can didates for the high station. We however opened our columns to the advocates of all, and published every communication sent or handed, to us on the subject, except one, advocating the election of Gov Yell, which came in after the reception of Gov Tells letter, declining to be candidate; and this was suppressed by the consent of the writer.
 We now cheerfully announce our entire satisfac- ton at the result of the election and will lend ouI pens 10 the support il before the people, intending at the timeno disrespectfort the claims of Judge Brown, who was defeated. Had he been elected, we should have supported his election with much plea sure. For so long as the Democratic people recog- nise the Banner as their organ, it will be found n the advocacy of the acts of their Representatives, unless they should do something that is absolutely wrong, in our jndgment then we will be bound in all boldness to express our disapprobation
 Col. Ashley is a gentleman of the first order oi talents anable debater and ofvenerable appearance He is devoted 10 the principles of Democracy, and ever ready to put forth the masterly efforts of his powerful mind in their defence.
 The State may well be proud of such Senators as CoIs SEWER and ASHLEY, and such Represents tiTea as Judge CKoss and Governor YELL. In nsuch hands she has the greatest assurance that her inter- est will be well attended to in Congress.
 The delegation from Arkansas will prove able ad- jancts to the administration of Mir. Polk or formda- bie opposers of Mir Gays.

THE YOUNG MAN.
bY REV. MR. SIM

There IS no moral object so beautiful as a conscientious young man. l watch him as l do q star in the heavens clouds may be be- fore him, but We know his light is behind
 them, and will blaze again; the blaze of others
 popularity may outshine him, but we know
 that though unkown he iIlumines his own
 sphere. He resists temptation, not without
 q struggle, for that is not virtue-but he does resist, and conquers; he bears the sarcasns
 of the profiigate, and it stngs him. for that is
 the trial of virtue, but he heals the wound with his own pure touch. He heeds not the
 watchword of fashion, if it leads him 10 sin The atheist, who says not only in his heart, but also with his lips there Is no God r' controls him not; he sees the hand of a cre- ating God, and he rejoces in it. Woman IS sheltered by fond arms and loved counsel old age is protected by its experience, and manhood by its strength, but the young man stands amid the temptations of the world like a selt-balanced power-happy he who seeks and gains the hope of immortality. Onward, then, conscientious youth-raise the stand ard, and nerve myself for goodness. If God has given intellectual power, awaken it in that cause. Never let 1t be said of thee, he helped to swell the tide of sin, by pouring lis influence into its channelS,o and if thou art feeble in mental strength, throw not that drop into polluted current. The need of praise, the delight of occopandyn attending ali the way, and the final recompense of re- ward, all taken together, will be found to turn, there can be no doubt rather in favor of him who 6etter employed the one or the few talents, than of him who possessed the more or the greater, and has to show therefor no proportionable greater results. Awake, arise, then, young man-assume the beautiful garb of virtue. tis easy to err-itis difficult to be vlrtuous, to be pure-and to be holy you must strivel Put on thy strength Let thy chivalry be aroused against sinl Let Truth be the lady of thy love-defend her
