Tie Testimony Of an 0nneuent.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Times (black republican, pres,ming
upon the correctness of the last report i'll re-
gard TO The composition of the new cabinet,
thus speaks Of the venerable patriot and
statesman, General Cass:
The advanced age of Mr.. Cass docs not
prevent his enjoying that clear use Of his
faculties which his enemies sometimes denv
him. His habits have always been regular,
and his temperance. even to abstinence, has
for years been remarkable. He adheres to
the custom of walking great deal as pre-
ven'ive of corpulency, and exhibits neither
the desire nor the tendency to being laid
upon the shelf for mapy day yet"
Assuming that Mr.. Cobb is to be placed
at the head of the Treasury Department,
the same writer pays the following comp!i-
mcnt to that distinguished gentleman:
lie unites to unquestioned integrity an
attachmcnt to be principles of free trade,
and an acquaintance, in detail. with the
wants Of the commercial community, which
make it in every way desirable that their
interests should be iutrusted to his hands.

Death Of rev. .g0I n Howard,

On returning from visit to his friends
in Richmond TIVE weeks age. Rev. JOIN
Howard, the worthy aud highly esteemed
pastor ef the Presbyterian Church in this
place, exhibited strong symptoms of mental
arrangement. 1t may be proper to state,
that Mr.. II. was a man Of delicate constitu-
ton, II ripe scholar and hilarious student,
sedeptary in lis habits, anil, it is believed,
for some tiiHc, had used tobacco to excess ::
indeed, for several days he had chewed an
incredible. amount Of tobacco These facts
form the basis Of The most plausible causes
Of his fatal aud affecting malady.
Mr.. HOWARD had Il morbid conception,
as he expressed it, that he had been ',cen-
nissioned to warn men that the Judgment
was hear ut hand : and so intent was he
upon the accomplishment of what he beliey-
ed to be the command of his Master, that
he could scarcely be induced tn take either
res. or refreshment. but went from house to
house, delivering his solemn message. quot

to his theme.
On the 2lst ult. one of Mr. II s broth
ers, who had been informed of his condition,
arrived from Richmond, and, accompanied
10y Col. ALBERT, proceeded Immediately to
staunton with him, where they arrived on
Sabbath morning. Under the dtlusion that
these gentlemen had 10 right to interfere
with him III his work, Mr.. H became quite

that under the iudieions treatment of the
