We announce with sincere sorrow the death
of SAMUEL w. KEYES, of Highgare. He
died at his residence in that Village, on Tues
day, the 18th inst, in the 9th year Of MS age.
Mr.. KEyEs was widely known, in and out of
our State, as gentleman of great intelligence,
liberal and generous feelings and sentiments,
enlarged patriotism, and possessing personal
Influence that such qualities always create
He has been intimately connected with the bus
mess and business policy of Vermont, tor many
years, and few men have been able to WELD a
wider or more beneficial influence. His death
will be deeply and extensively regretted No
truer man, both to his principles or his friends,
or knd-heartcd gentleman, ever lived, than
SAMUEL w. KEYEs.
The 81. .Nbaas Messenger says -
The melancholy duty has d'voved upon us
to record the death OF SAMUEL WHlrING KEYEs,
Esq, who died at his residence in II ghgale on
the evening of the 18Th inst, at the age of

For nearly half a century he has been a
dent of the County of Franklin, VT, aud has
been widely known in Vermont, New York and
Canada, aud universally respected as an up
night merchant, a Warm-hParted and devoted
friend and public spirited citizen. His death
therefore, is not only "A melancholy loss to a
large circle Of relatives and friends but may be
regarded as a public bereavement, ina,much as
Mr. KEYEs NJ yer failed To ADVOCATE and add
vance the improvement aud interests OF the
community in which he resided.

laws OF the United States, In presenting these
serious accusations for trial yet they cannot bu.
profoundly regret the necessity which has led to Il.
At period like the present in the history of the
republic. when, under the mild influence OF a oa
tiona constitution predicated on the principle Of
recognising, respecting, and vindcating the rights
and Institutions of every member Of the confedera-
cy, our country has zone on increasing In great
prosperity and happiness. II s painful TO the heart
Of the patriot that such an outage upon the dgn-
ty Of the Bation and It's laws should have been per

actors in this drama Of blsod have, f not directly

better things might have been expected.
From such sources We should expect to be taught
that obedience to the laws Of the United States,

Rossxth and the Officers Of the Msssissiypt.
/ see an attempt is made to contradict the
HRRALp's Msrseilles correspondence about Kos
suth's conduct, and his difficulties with Cant Long
and Consul Hodge. 1t appears Kossuth became
satisfied, during the passage of the Mississippi to
Gibraltar, that his proceedings would inter
fere with his reception in the United States and he
did sl he could to make his peace with Capt Long;
and now some persens here would be very glad to
stiAe the whole affair. But this is inpractiosble,
because large number of letters, official and pri
vate, cent about the lst October, direct from Mar
seilles, are now on file in the Navy and State Do
partments, containing great many curious details
They have been read during the last two or three
weeks, by o number Of persons. and will be called
for as soon as Congress meets Capt Long says in
one OF his letters :-"This Is the most unpleasant
service in which have ever been employed" and
Commodcre Morgan, writing from SpezEa, whore
departure of the Mississippi on account of tho dis
turbances kossuths presence was creating, says of
him: " His vilfulness is unconquerable," and ''tho
devil possesses that gentleman" There Is also
very important letter written by Kossuth himself to
Capt. Long, which, according to its tenor, was in
tended for publication in the United States, in
which be complains of having got from one prison
planned that k0ssuths conduct compromised the
United States flag, "he is Of different opinion
and on that account will leave the Mississippi a.
soon as possible" 1t is also said that Kossuth
wrote letter to the President, asking for the recall
of Consul Hodge and the dismissal from the service
Of Captain Long; but if such strange letter exists
it is no doubt in the Presidents own keeping

cry from every one not even fugitive slave case
TO break the monotony of our sombre existence.
Some little hopes were entertained of an incident,
on Friday, in connection with the drawing for term,
by the Supreme Bench elect Bat it was the quiet
est and simplest operation imaginable. By agree
ment Judge Lowrie prepared the ballots, for
last When ready, they were called in the follow

J. w. Gibson drew nine years.
Richard Coulter drew fifteen years
Ellis Lewis drew six years.

And SO the whole matter was settled quietly in
fifteen minutes.
Even the incompatible Jenny, whose arrival is
expected this evening, has not been able to create
any ftTore in our midst. She is compelled to como
this way, in consequence of the stormy lakes, and
will indulge the burghers of Harris and adjoining
