The Late Senator Rnak

eloquent in feelings lin words, and did no
less credit to the heads and hearts of those
who delivered them, than to the manly vir-
tues, genuine worth, great statesmamship
and exalted patriotism of him upon whom
they were pronounced. General Rusk was
truty remarkable man, one of the most
remarkable, perhaps, that this country ever
produced, lie was possessed of all those
high qualities that are insepanble from
true greatness-a strong, comprehensive
intellect, an iron will, and heart as pure
and guilcless as that of child. DURING
the period of his life he was jurist, states
man and soldier, and in each was alike cf
ficient and alike prc-eminent
In politics he was democrat of tho
strictest school and while he adhered with
unwavcring devotion to the cardinal doc
trincs of his party, his public acts bear the
strongest marks of the most liberal and en-
hlghtened craftsmanship. He enjoyed, to
the fullest extent, the respect and conf
dence of his political friends in every sec
tion of the Union. His personal popularity,
however, was not of partisan character
tor few, if any, of our public men had so
largo place in the affections of his politi
cal opponents. The universal feeling of
sorrow and regret with which the announces

such was the case; and the readiness with
which his polite | opponents in Congress
united with his friends in paying tribute to
his memory shows that throughout all the

the eulogics pronounced were most clo-

them before our readers.

BRowNLow.-This man is lccturing on
slavery in the Southwestern cities On
his looturo Of Memphis, the Christian Ad-
uocote says:
"Rev. w. G.. Brownlow has been soiourn-
ing in the city for some days We under
stand he is on tour of lccturing upon the
subject of slavery and the present aspect of
that question. He attended church at
Asbuly on Sabbath, but could not be pre-
vailed on to preach. lie is certainly man
of talents, and has been useful in the church
of which he has long been minister. We
cannot approve or endorse his or any other
pl acher taking so active part in politics,
yet, even in this respect, we arc inclined to
think he has sobered down considerably"
To this DIR. Brownlow replies:
eMrhe editor of this paper will not be be-
hind his brother Watson in expressions of
esteem and confidence. He knows the cd
itor of the Advocate to be clever fellow,
and to stand deservedly high in Memphis
AS to preachers taking so active part in
politics, he is rightin his not giving his
approval to it. He has more experience
in the matter than we have He was
a candidate for the State Convention
in Mississippi, few years ago, and
was elected after canvassng De Soto coun-
ty faithfully. Our only advantage over
him is that we are on the right side in pol
itics. We honestly believe that a Wing
sinner is as reliable as a Democratic Chris
tian"
CAMPuENE HoancIDEs FOR 1857.-E.
Merriam, the curious man, who lives at
Brooklyn Heights and keeps record of
everything that occurs, says that fifty7nine
persons we're killed and seventy Ave poGsohs
iniured-six of whom were not expected to
rccover-by fire resulting from the use of
camphene and other burning fluids of kim
dred preparation, during she past year.
As to the loss of property, resulting from
fires caused by camphene, Mr. Merriam puts
the figures at $l24, l95, which are probably
too low.
KAoLIN.-We have received beautiful
Pitcher from the Factory of MIR. Farrar g.
Co: situate at the above place, which is
about six miles east, of Hamburg. 1t is of
an elegant shape, the outside resembling
wicker work, perfectly smooth, white and
diaphanous. This charming ware is equal
if not superior to any that we have ever
seen from China. We understand that it
meets with ready sale This Factory was
established some time in the year 1857 -
We are glad to see this additional dcpelope-
ment of the resources of Che State, and wish
for the company abundant success
