DEATH OF GOVERNOR surSK.

We are called upon this morning 10 perform one of the most melancholy and unpleasant duties of our editorial life FRANCIS k. SKUNK IS NO MORE :, The telegraph announced last evening that he died al o'clock, at his residence, in Harrisburg. This event, although anticipated for time past will produce feeliugs of the deepest sorrow not only in fennsyivanis, but throughout The Union.
 Governor SKUNK was uu uquestionabiy grea, and good man. In every relation of life, public and private, he has done his duty nianfully As 8 hus- bund and father, he was kind and affccionate; as citizea and neighbor, he was generous and philan- thropic; as public officer he was honest faithful and fearless.
 Although Gov. SKUNK has differed from large number ot his fellow citizens in relation to many public measures ye, his opponents have always giv en him credit for honesty and sincerity His chief study was the public good. No sectional influen- ces were allowed to operate upon his mind--those wdo grasped at and claimed exclusive privileges, !eokea in vain to bim for encouragement He was the ayowed opponent of monopolies of every spe- e@s-he was the friend of honest industry and pure morality.
 We might write more. but we have not time at present. We will barely remark. in cOnciuslon, iha' We earnestly hope Pennsylvania will hereafter have men in the Executive ehaiF jus; as pure, hon est and faithfais Las FRANcis R. snuNK--Pats. Post.
