Obituary.

Died, at his residence near this place. on Tuesday
the 9Th instant, Colonel CADWALLADER JONES,
in the seveny.fourlh year Of his age.
COL Jones had been citizen Of this community near
hriy.fye years, and filled large space in the re-
spec and affection Of his neghbors, and in the general
esteem Of wide circle Of acquaintance whinthe State
Of North Carolina, and beyond her limits that we deem
brief notice Of his virtues and public services but
just tribute TO the deep and general feeling Of regret
occasiOned by his deaih-haPPy il it may in any degree
alleviate that with which the announcement at
the head Of this article will fall on some hearts in dis
tant lands.
He was, We believe, a native OF the county Of Din
widdie, Va, and horn in 1887. His father whose
name he bore, served officer in the war Of the
Revolution, in the Virginia continental line, and was
at one time sid-decamp 10 Gen. La Fayeite
Col Jones received his education in part at the Uni
versy Of North Carolina, having been student therA
during the earlier scenes described by DIR. Hooper IN
his admirable address before the Alumni Association,
entitled Fifty Years Since From the University he
was translated by Midshipman's warrant into the
Navy Of the United States, and was on board the Che.
sspeake under Commodore Barron in this capacity in
the memorable attack upon her. by surprize, Of the
British friga,e Leopard, of the Capes Of yrgnia in
1907. the commanding officer Of the latter claiming and
successfully asserting the right TO seize and impress
cerisin sesmen Of The Chesapeake as British sailors
Soon after this event, Mr. Jones received an appoint
ment as an OH in the army Of the United States
and served under General Wilkinson 10 the occupation
Of New Orleans and the Louisiana territory, then re-
4 r..
porsry in age, then there, in the same SERVICE
Captain Of company Of Horse Artillery. Col Jones
himself the last seiyor Of the Naval officers Of
the Chesapeake when attacked BY the Leopard. and
probably leaves Gen. Scott who ever cherished for him
sincere friendship, the las, survivor Of tho ocers Of
Wkinsons command on the Mississippi. Retiring
from the army probably ia 1910 or 1911. and being
soon afterwards married. be has subsequently devoted
his attention mainly to planting and The duties and OBJ
legations Of civil and social life.
Upon the awakening OF the -spiri, Of Internal I'm

until ls4e.
In the Offices Of friendship charity, good neighbor

At time when the spirit Of paciication is
invoked by one class Of American citizens
and the policy Of disunion and civil war seems
to be calmly welcomed by another. il cannot
be otherwise than appropriate to cite the
weighty words Of the Duke Of Wellington,
when. on introducing the Catholic Emanci.
patton bill into the House Of Peers, 10 jnstii.
cation Of the concessions he was willing "a
make TO avoid intestine commotioRs, he spoke
as follows:
"My Lords, am one Of those who have
probably passed more ofmy life 10 war than
most men, and principally. NAV say. in civil
war. too: and must say this. that il | could
avoid, by any sacrifice whatever, even On,
month Of civil war in the country to which
am attached. would sacrifice my life IN or
der to do Il"
There is grave counsel in these words, and
their applicability to the present condition u
this country is strikinsly evident.

Popular Sovereignty Endorsed.

Three new territories were formed by
the late Congress, without any allusion in
either act to the subject of slavery. Not
even an effort was mad to exclude slavery
by the Republicans, nor to protect it by
the Breckenridge men ; thus ignoring the
right Of "Congress to interfere with ques-
tons o: slavery, or to take incipent steps
III relations tEereto;;" and leaving the PEG
pie of the territories perfectly free to regu-
late their own domestic affairs in their
own way, subject only to the constitution
of the United States.
This is a complete vindicaton of the
Douglas doctrines as it is possible to have
and as complete an abandonment of the
extreme doctrines of Congressional prohi-
bition on the one side, and Congressional
protection on the other. 1t will be seen
from this that the whole controver Y
which has precipitated the country into
revolution, has been upon distractions now
acknowledged upon both sides to be of no
practicable importance and that the poll
cy which received the denunciations OF
both extremes is adopted as the only
practical ground of action. 4
