patches that this distinguished military
commander and member of Congress is
dead, the sad event having taken place
at Naiehez, Miss, last Saturday morn

in Dutehess county, New York, where

when bir. Quitmnn, 10 early manhood,
migrated to Mississippi, he naturally
avaiIed himself Of the peculiar institu-

sincere and stauneh defender. He carly
embraced the States rights views Of
Mr. Calhoun, although he was n cordial
supporter Of Gen. Harrison in l840.-
Up 70 this date, and for some years after
( he enjoyed no political offices, and to his
honor Il should be said that the chief
obstacle IN his way was his opposition to
