The Louisville Times of the goth contain
the following beautiful tributs o the life and
character of the late Vice President, VIM.
r. King. This distinguished Statesman, it
will be seen, has held high political stations
a great portion of his life, and although he
has risen in none of them to an extraordn-
airy degree of eminence, yet we believe he
has honored the various stations he has held
as much Us they have exalted him.. ~
twill be seen from the telegraphic dis
patches that this distinguished gentleman,
whose delicate health for several months, has
been the source Of such public and generay
enxiety, is no more. There are bat few
public men who have been SO long in politi-
ca life, and borne so stainless a reputation,
both public and private. Col. King has held
many high offiues and in all .'done the State
service" He was at one time member OF
Congress from, North Carolina, for nearly The
last twenty years Senator from Alabama,
and during part of Mr.. Folks sdministra-
ton, Minister to France. Col. King was a
bachelor, never having married. His high
talents, incompatible patriotism, unimpeach-
able private character, elevated courtesy and
chivalry, endeared him to the nations lamen-
tations will swell the chorus of private grief
at his decease.

The whiteness of his soul and thus men DER him

But lately elevated to the second Office in
the world, death has summoned him from the
''topmost round" to another state of existence.
He was prepared for the call, and his last
hours were watched over by attached rela.
tives, who had followed him in his pilgrimage
after health and returned with him to Mobile
A great and good man has fallen! May his

man who would disobey his orders within a

shot, the ball striking him full in the forehead,
but glanced and came out of the top of his
head, doing no very severe injury. The ex-

COLONEL S. F. MARKs-His Courage Be-
fore the Eaemy"l-The Courier, in its edition
of yesterday, puts in an emphatic denial to our
article of Saturday complimenting Colonel
Marks on his campaign on the Rio Grande, and
characteristics our remarks as s'insolent", ETC. =,
etc. In what the "insolence" of our remarks
consisted, we are unable to conceive, as we
merely rehearsed events as they occurred, giving
Colonel Marks all the benefit of his distinguished
participation therein.
The Courier charges us with ignorance of the
events of the Mexican war, and proceeds to
show us how its editor is posted OIL the same
subject, by relating circumstances as true with
the proviso "if we remember correctly y !
The doughty editor of this clumsy sheet, by
way of showing how accurate his knowledge is
of the events of the Mexican war, tells us that
"the greater part of the garrison" to which
Colonel Marks was attached "marched out
under Colonel De Rusy to attack some distant
town." thereby inferring that Colonel Marks
staid in camp on that interesting occasion.
What the name was of this "distant town"
he does not inform us, thereby displaying

We have proposition to make to the editor
of the Courier: that he will undertake to write

PLOTS of Colonel Marks in detail, and in the
same explicit manner in which he speaks of the

The proprietor is pleased to announce to the
patrons Of the &c Crescent that Mr.. Edward
William johnson, well known for his editorial
connection with the 6 National Intelligencer,"
and other leading whig journals, has arrived.
and frsm this day will have editorial charge of
the political department Of this paper. Mr..
johnson has wide reputation as well in
formed, classic and forcible writer. He will be
assisted in the editorial department by William
Hall, Esq, for several years connected with the
press of this city, and who as heretofore will
coefne his attention to subjects of literary and
general interest, without reference to the polit-
cal tenets main tanned by this paper
In the reportorial and news departments, the
proprietor is gratifed to state that he has en-
gagged strong corps of assistants. who, in point
of talent and activity, are surpassed by none in
the South.
With these aids, he expects to be enabled to
furnish paper which, in point of editorial abil-
ity, local and foreign intelligence and general
interest, will be worthy Of the very liberal pub
lie support which it has received heretofore.

like those which we have mentioned-fanciful,-
or literary, or affectionate; there is deeper use
in them; they are not written for simple delight,
but for profit, and are wonderfully fertile of
instruction; especially,as they offer a pregnant
commentary upon those great political truths,
which arr the keys to all other locofoco truths;
themaxins of Mr.. Marcy and Mr. Calhoun which
we have already cited.
Whatever, then, be tho value of the Cicero

and festiIty of those of the French dame, or the
sense and spirit Of the English one; whatever
the classic beauty of Gray's, or the dashing,
careless elegance of Byron's letters, we must
avow that the Hoyt and tie Bronson correspou-
dences soar far above them all, and rise to a
merit of quite another pitch, if we consider
things las We should) less by their manner than
their matter, and not by their shape but their
substance.
In mere literary elegance, we hardly place
John Van Buren,, when he wants stocks sold or

latter laments to his friends the degeneracy
and the approaching downfall of the Republic ;
in gayety and in courtliness, we are fain to ad-
| init that Lady Montague among the Turks, or
Madame Sevigne down in the provinces exceeds
Jesse Hoyt, when he tells of the outlandish
ways of the wings, in carrying on elections
| without bribery; or Benjamin Butler, when he
recites the heathenish doings of the brokers
who. come to draw specie at Sandy Hill, and
recounts the consultations which his own right
eous soul derives from g stated preaching on
the Sabbath day Of all those weeks when he has
been particularly successful in swindling the
common people, the "hard- fsted,' the bone
and sinew," with Jacob Barker's shin-plasters.
But if the old epistolary writer's exoelthe new

fessed that, the one supreme merit of showing
| us what is democratic principle, what the great
truths of locofoeoism, upon what sacred pur-
poses of patriotism the heroic souls of these

| Hoyt and the Bronson correspondence lift
| themselves above all other hterature, old or
new, classic or barbarous, heroic or sentimental,
sacred or profane.
The Hoyt letters have long since received
their need of praise, and passed into the body
of whatever is classical, in the learning of loco
focoism but the Bronson letters will take
still higher place, as far deeper and more seri-
GUS compositions.
We had to-day proposed to do them such JUS
tice as we could, in critical analysis but we
have no sooner seized upon the subject, than we
find it swell upon us and take dimensions far
beyond the measure of a single article, however
overgrown,. Its unavoidable bulk is such that,
in order to get in the tail, to -morrow, we must
chop it off at the head to-day.
