WHEREAS, It has pleased that God who ''doeth
all things well" to take from companion whom
we loved, and whose loss we must ever deplore.

we have lost friend whose place in our hearts can
never be supplied. His gentle and winning deport-
ment we shall always remember with affection, min
gled with sorrow, for his untimely end. .-.
Resotred, That We tender to the members OF the
Dalectic Society our warmest sympathy in this
their sad bereavement; for death has hurried from
their circle one who, < member, reflected honor
upon them, and who in his moral character and
studous habits, left an example worthy of imita-
ton.
Resolced, That, while we would not intrude upon
the sacredness of their grief, would still desire
to weep with those who loved him best ov the
grave Of an early friend. And may God who has
promised to comfort those that mourn be their stay
| in this hour of trial.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of the deceased, and also, that

Gov. Reid.

The last Register says:
"On the 18th day of March next, the Hon. David
Reid will take his leave of the L. S. Senate, and
will never more be heard of as public man, unless
perhaps as Chairman of Rockingham County Court "
Is the Register quite sure of that?
The Register adds:
The Speaker chosen was his own connection, and
from his own County, and the friends of Messrs-
Bragg and Holden We're furnished with an argument
against multiplying honors in one family and one
County"
Holden" used no such argument against Gov.
ked, nor did he advise his friends here or elsewhere
10 Use such argument, has he heard that it was
USED BY his friends. Holden" is blameess in this,
as IN many other things with which he has been
charged

New PUBLICATIONS: Maury's Sailing Directions,
sM edition, COL Lieut.. Maury enjoys at this
time, among the of all countries, repu-
tation which of his scientific contemporaries
has attained. His researches into the laws that
govern the winds-the currents, and all the various
phenomena of the ocean, have heretofore been given
to the world and have proved of incalcuable benefit
to the mariner of all commercial countries. The
edition before us, enlarged and improved is another
offering of great practical Importance to seamen,
and a valuable acquisition to science Landsman as
we are, from the cursory perusal which other du-
ties permitted of some of the chapters, we were
much interested, and at the time instructed
on many subjects, of which our ideas before were
either erroneous or very vague. 1t is a mistake,
common with many, that scientific works are al,cays
uninteresting to the general reader.
Wehave also received Dr. Satchwell's address be-
fore the two Societies of Wake Forest College, June
1858. Selecting for his theme, " The influence Of
material agents in Developing man," DIR. Satchwell
fully sustains his reputation logical rsasoner,
and sound practical writer We especially call at
tention to that portion of his address, which, freed
from any attempt at oratorca display, conclusively
exhibits the necessity of more attention to physical
education important auxiliary to intellectual
improvement.

DOUGLAS AND THE BLACK REPuBL1cANs.-Sir: A
statement appeared in the Jefferson Examiner, Of
recent date, making certain grave charges against
Judge Douglas in which my name was involved
Up to this period certain considerations forbade my
making any response, although l have been fire.
quently urged to do So l learn since, however,
from the Senator's speech, delivered at Bonneville
Illinois, that he denies the truth of those assertions
and at other times and other places he reterates the
denial and to give it an apparent sincerity, he in
directly calls for the proof l deem that am now
at liberty to state all that know relation to this
matter, which has taken hold upon the public mind
1st 1t is true that Judge Douglas did send me a
message by Mr. Colfax, of Indiana in substance the
same as that charged upon him by the Examiner
viz: ''Tell Mr. Blair to come and see me; wish to
give him JAS S. Green's place in the United States
Senate"
3D. It is true that did write letter to B. Gratz
Brown ESQ.,, of ST. Louis, and that that letter was
written in accordance with the wishes of Judge
Douglas himself
3D. And it is true, that there was an understand
ing, perfect and complete, between Judge Douglas
and several prominent members of the republican
party, the aim and scope of which am not obliged
to divulge. My personal interview with the distin-
guished Senator to which his message to me refer
red, had reference to the success of the Emancipa-
ton Party in Missouri.
l have stated enough to substantiate the charges
made public through the columns of the Examiner
and repeated in letter from the pen of Isaac H.
Sturgeon, Esq., of st. Louis; and, bearing in mind
what had transpired at the interview between Judge
Douglas and myself and the understanding arrived
and agreed upon between him and other prom-
ent members Of the republican party, both in the
last and the West, l confess that was not pre-
AIRED to hear of the Senator's demonstration Of joy
,ver my defeat in this district. Very respectfully,
FRANK P. BLAIR, Jr.
