GOV. MILLER.

We transfer to our columns the annexed no
tice of the funeral of f'Gov. MILLER" Of Mis-
souri,, who was native Of BERKELEY COUNTY,
and whom many of our friends on "TuscARo-
RA," among whom he lived in his younger
days, std remember well.
GovERYoR DEAD.-Gov. Miller Of Missouri
is dead His funeral, which was an imposing
ceremonial of military and civic mourning,
was celebrated at st. Louis, on Saturday NOR
ming, 2lst ult The Evening Journal says
The procession was formed in front Of the
Planters House. The six companies Of U. s.
Infantry, under the command Of Col. Dayen-
port, preceded by some U. S. Officers Of high
rank, composed the front escort. The steady
and solemn tread Of these troops, and the
plaintive death song their accomplished band
formed an imposing part of the mourning pa
geant Next came the clergymen and bearers
in CARRIAGES then the hearse, while the rear
escort was composed of all the volunteer COM
panies of the city of ST. Louis, in their splen-
did uniforms, with mulfled drums, shrouded
coors-their fine bands wailing out PleyePs
dirge or the Dead March in Saul. The rear
escort was brought up by fine and sodery
company OF artillery with their two brass can
mons. Next came the line of citizens IN CARR
ages.
The roar Of cannon announced from the
country the moment Of interment.
The effect Of the dirges from the U. S. Band,
the volunteer Band, and the mounted Band OF
French horns and bugles attached to the ORA
goons was thrilling and sublime, reminding
one Of SCOTS Lay of the Last Minstrel at the
grave of MusgTave:
&" The hatp's " i'd notes though hnsh'd the song,
The mimic march Of death proong;
Now seems il fsr and now a near,
Now meets aud now eindes the earl
Now seems some mountain side 10 sweep,
Now ftipily dies in valleys deep;
Seems now If the mnstrels wall,
Now the sad requiem loads the gale:
Last DER the warriors closing grave,
Rung the full choir in coral stave.

btterest invectives at him who provokedit. Eng

strongly against America, and his failure is an

That the Presidents Message will exert pow
erful influence upon England's foreign policy is
unquestionable. There is in it a determination
and energy calculated to produce an impression
which the highly polished periods of Secretary
Webster in the previous controversy could moi
produce. The English press have stopped bully.

humanity to say the horrors Of war. They beg
us not to break up that commercial intercourse
which is more valuable TO them than the whole oi

which are the known organs of the re-instated
Peel Ministry. This is tacit acknowledgment
of the wisdom and frmness of our Democratic
President, the more sincere that it is reluctant

We rejoice at this defeat of the efforts of few
heartless, reckless, plunderers, to effect the ruin
of our county and town. A more desperate ef-
fort was never made in behalf of bad cause than
was made by the Wapaukonnetta and Lima inte.
rest. There has been constantly in attendance
at Columbus, some half dozen lobbes, among
whom were McKinny, Mayor of Dayton, and an
old member, D. Adams Of Piqua, Dr.. Hobook
of Wapaukonnetta, J. w. Riley of Columbus,
and pan Horne of some place. These men, with
others, have been constantly~-operating upon
members, by falsehoods and deceptons, and by
selling Leatherman to every local interest that
would command a vote for Auglaize.
But they have failed, and we attribute the fail
ure in very essential degree, to the untiring cf-
forts and energy of our talented Representative,
HIS. Knapp Esq. He is not speaker. and con-
sequenly has been less prominent in the public
eye than others Of his party, but no man has
served his constituents more ably or faithfully
than he has during the present winter Being in
sminorty, he has had no opportunity of origina-
ting measures, but he has accomplished all that

placed admitted.
