graph, yesterday, brough, us the glad I'D
ines Of the election Of a Wing Member Of
Congress from the Wheeling District, Viz
gini1, in place of Alex. Newman Loco, de-
ceased. We cannt remember that This
District had chosen a Wing before since the
who used to be elected from ii,twenty years
ago without opposition !, gave Polk sG0
majority over Clay, and Cass SIG over Tay-
lor. II elected Newman, las, April, by sew
eral hundreds over e.. w. Russell, nn able
and popular Wing, and has now elected
Col. Thomas $. Raymond, Wing, by 200
majority over Col. Geo. w. Thompson, Lo-
co, and late District Attorney for Western
Virginia.
Here is vote gained for a Wing Speak
er, Clerk, &c, at most critical time when
one vote promises to be OF decided impor-
lance, Since there is grea, danger that Mr.,
Butler King, Of Georgia, will not have ar
rived at Washington, from California by
The first Monday in December, we shall
need all the votes we have to organize the
House, and this windfall is exceedingly
opPortune. Had the Wings of Virginia
been awake las, Spring, there would have
been M question now as 10 the result-N

we're very imposing. The procession was
immense, and the oialion by John Van Bu-

fair. Tho following Ode. written BY Gen.
Morris, was sung on the occasion -
The pride Of all our chisalry,
The name Of WORTH will stand,
While ihrobs the pulse Of Liberty
Within his native land.
The wreath his brow was formed 10 wear
A natioA's tears will freshen there.
The young companion Of his fame,
In war and peace allied.
With garlands woven round his name
Reposes az his side
DUscAs whose deeds for ever more
/ Will live amid his cannons roar.
GArxs, in his counirys quarrel bold.
When she 10 arms appealed.
Sought, like the Christian knights of old,
His laurslS on the field.
When victory rent Tho welkin dome,
IIo earned a sopulchre at home.
Tho drum beat Of the banners brave,
The rtquiem md tho kneil,
The volley DER the soldiers grave,
Ills comrades last farewell,
Alc tributes RENDERED to the dead.
And sermons to The living read.
Bat there's glory brighter far
Than all that earh has given.
A beacon, like the index star.
That points the way to heaven.
lrIsA LIrE WELL SPENT its close,
The countless sundown ofrepose
That such wa. theirs for whom We mourn,
These obsequics attest,
And though in sorrow they are borne
Unto thsit final rcst
A guide will their example be,
To fuluie champions OF the free.
