Death of Ex-Governor Adams.

We are panied to announce the death OF
Ex-Governor Adams, which occurred on Sat.
urday, the 18th inst, at his residence in Rich
land District. In an article announcing the
death of Gen. Adams, the Charleston Courier
speaks as follows:
Ger. Adams, as he was more commonly
called by friends, in Difference to long habit,
was no common man. With native gifts,
which comprised quickness Of apprehension
and address, he had acquired and improved
considerable advantage, of education. AL
though never exclusively or professedy a
scholar or student in the serse of ostentation
or distraction, and ever actively engaged in
agricultural pursuits, and often in political
canvasses and Offices, he ever found time to
acquaint himself fully with current history.
I" He was diligent and successful planter
and neighbor loved and esteemed best by
those who had the fullest opportunities of in.
tercourse and acquaintance with him.
=" His personal qualities and gifts, with his
ardent and eager patriotism procured for him
military promotion at comparatively early
age, and as q Brigadier Of Cavalry he did
much to bring that important arm Of our vol.
unteer service to the excellent condition in
which it is now found within the limits of his
former command.
'As debater and speaker before popular
assembly, aud especially under m exciting
canvass and issue, he was ever ready aud ef:
fecti7e, and often mpressively eloquent.
" AS Governor Of this State, he will be re.
membered by many beyond its limits, chiefly
for his argument and essage in favor of re-
opening the labor market from Africa. The
boldness: earnestness, candor and ability with
which he pressed this measure were admitted
BY the large majority of his felow.citizens
who differed from his views on that issue.
" With the care Of large and beloved
family, aud a full measure of honor after
retiring from the chair of State, Ex-Governor
Adams would have preferred the uninterrupt.
ed life of 3 planter. The srca' movement of
redemption and political regeneration now in
progress called for such men, however, and
he was not capable of resisting call of duty
from his fellow .citizens.
at was not permitted him, however, to take
that active share which his qualities and pre-
paration would have justified. The threaten.
ing advances of aftlction were upon him, and
bis friends began to perceive them with in
creasing apprehensions. He made a short
tour across the Atlantic in hope Of restoration,

Gen. Baker, of Oregon,

1t is stated that when Lincoln received
the news of Gen. Bakers death, in the
battle of Leesburg, he exhibited the fury
of maniac; and that Mrs. Lincoln, who
seems to have entertained a tender regard
for the late Senator, was almost heart
broken. The Baltimore papers are said
to have announced the news Of the battle
as successful reconnaissance, in which
a skirmish occurred, resulting in the loss
of about 200 on the Federal side Since
we have near 700 Leesburg prisoners in
Richmond, to say nothing of the killed
and wounded, such an endeavor to soften
down defeat looks somewhat ludicrous.

1t further adds, in another article.

plexion of the Legislature; but it is certain

From Missouri.

From gentleman who arrived from
New Madrid. yesterday, we learn that
Gen. jeff. Thompson, whose disappear
ance some days since from the vicinity of
Columbus, for obvious reasons, we did not
mention at the time, has turned up in the
vicinity of Iron Mountain, where he has
been playing his old tricks upon the LIN
colnites whom he caught mapping there.
On Friday last he attacked force Of
several hundred Federals at the bridge
over the Sabine river, killed large num-
Der and captured one hundred and eighty
prisoners and two pieces Of cannon.
After burning this bridge and two 9TH
ers on the line of the Iron Mountain rail-
road, and tearing up a considerable por-
ton of the track, he disappeared, no one
knew whittier We shall probably soon
hear of him again in some other quarter.
The above. which we think entirely re-
liable, is partially confirmed by dispatch
to the st. Louis Republican, published nm
der our telegraphic head this morning.

Unique CORRESPONDENCE.

A remarkable correspondence has taken
place between Lord Lyons and Mr.. Sew
ard, which our limits forbid us to publish
this morning. 1t is unique on both sides,
and shows in what low estimation Mr..
Stewards craftsmanship is held by the
foreign diplomatists in Washington. The
British Representative tells the United
States Government that they do not UNI
derstand their own laws, but that the
law officers of the Crown do: and the U.
S. Secretary of State tells the British
Miniser that the President has power to
suspend the writ of haJeas corpus, although
the Chief Justice of the United States
saws not.

the General, Hundreds of my men were

In letter to the Secretary of War, he

Confederacy and raise the blockade of the
Southern ports, and that he contemplates

the reports are from Trustworthy sources.
The London, Shipping Gazette says
France and England must act together,
and that recognition would carry an
amount OF weight and moral influence
which would set up the Confederacy.
There had been Bread riot and an at

TIE WHEAT CRop IN THE NoRrn.-The
incoming Wheat crop of the Northwest is
reported by the best advioes that can be
obtained on the subject, as exceeding
short; there being serious falling off
from the yield of last year. Accounts from
all parts of Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois,
concur in representing great deficiency
in the yield. During harvest time the
reports had been encouraging, but it has
been found that the crop did not thrash
out anything like expected, the land not
yielding quite ten bushels per acre, where
last year the yield was fully thirty BUSH
els. Accounts from Chicago, the great
grain depot of the West, represent the
falling off for the present month, as conf
pared with 1860, at nearly hall million
of bushels Commercial Bulletin.
