 I stated to Mir.

There was good deal oe talk about the matter, but the above contains the sub stance. At any rate, it was wei! under stood that we did not warran. the State work. have been particularly careful to have that understood Tn all the sales nave made.

Obituary.

DIED at his residence, in Coosa county Alabama, on the 26lh day of August last, in the 7llh year of his age, Mir. )onN MUR- cnisoN. The deceased was bon in Cum berland county, North Carolina, and lived there until about the year 1921, when he removed 10 The State of Georgia, where he tarried about ten years, and from thence he removed to this county where he resided until his Jccease. The subject of lhls nos tice deserves more than common eulogy, but suffice il to say, that he was beloved by his neighbnrs, admired by his acquaint ances, social in intercourse and urbane and honest in his manner and dealings with his fellow man. He lived long enough to earn a good name and rear up large and res pectable famu of children. He died leav- ing his friends to lament, and his widow and children 10 mourn his loss, and express sing his willingness with a strong hope of meeting his Savior inpeace.

of the responsibilities which l am a. bout to assume, that accept the com :. mission you have rendered, with so much of delicate and gratifying encour- agement.
 The appreciation which you convey of my services in the twenty ninth Con gress is especially pleasing, because therein was manifested my fixed opinion on the taxing and expending powers oi the federal government, my uniformity entertained and often avowsd creed of strict construction for the constitution of our Union,
 [cannot express adequately my thanks for the high commendalion you bestow on the services rendered in Mexico by the first Mississippi R fiemen. As the representative of the people you give us that need of pralse, which is the great incentive, inc only reward of the citizsn soldier for all which he may suf- fer or do in the cause of his country.-- As State troops, under your organiza ton, we entered the service of ihe U States. Proud of the name of Missis- sippi proud of her former achievements in war; anxious to burnish on the battle field her shield rusted in the repose of peace it was my wish, it was my effort to preserve our distinct organlzalioh, our Slate Individuality that thus we might bring back whatever of our honor able distinction we should have the good fortune to acquire, and lay il at the feet of Mississippi, as our contribution to the joint property Of her citizens, the reputation of the S'a'e.
 You have jns,ly anticipated my views in relation to d peace with Mexico; an event to be desired not merely from it's influence on our domestic policy. but also to save from monarchcal alliance. or entire 2rostration, republican con federacy, which. despite our caution and magnanimons fo'bearance has forced us into war. Tee common desire of our countrymen 10 see the principle of self> government extended over this contin' ent, and recogn zed as the policy of A merica, has justified past administrations in toleratlng serious offences bs Mexlco, and still seeking 10 cultivate friendly re iations. This desire has, l douht not, led to d general approval of the course pursued by the present administration, in It's steady efforts to open negotiations for a treaty of peace. Should these ef- forts continue to be unsuccessful, we will have the satisfaction to know that our government has acted as became the United States, in avoiding unneces say injury to weak, though pefverse and offending neishbor. Sincerely trark' ing you for your kind expressions and generous confidence, promise all which zeal and industry can effect in the duties of the high station 10 which l am a>- signed.
 Very respec fully,
 Your oht srrv'i,
