Go" We regret to announce the death
of Charles Gale, Esq, of Chllisquaque.-
He died at his residence on Sunday even
ing last. MIR. Gale was an Englishman by
birth, but he came to America at an early
age, and all his sympathieS were with the
Country of his adoption. He was man of
the klndest and warmest feelings. His
benevoience was almost unbounded. His
life was spent in doing good. IN him the
widow and orphan, the friendlesS and dis
tressed always found friend and protector.
The death OF such man is always public
loss. His memory will long live and be
blessed in the grateful hearts of those who
were the Recipients of his generosity and
kindness.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN CONVENTION
The Charleston Courier contains a letter
from James Hamilton TO Langdon Cheves
in which he opposes separate action by
South Carolina. but calls upon Virginia
to take the lead in favor of a Southern
Convention, TO meet at Richmond, TO de-
mand fresh guarantees for protecting the
institution of slavery, by preventing its
discussion in Congress, and by calling
for an amendment of the constitution Of
the United States, so as to restrict taxing,
and appopriating powers within proper
bounds. II this is denied, be says. then.
with arms in our hands, the Union must
be dissolved-not by feeble secessions Of

of all. claiming u righ.ful division Of
