Death Of an Old Citizen.
1t becomes ur Pai, fl duty as public Jour
nalists to announce the death of one of the
Oldest citizens of this county. James
Hemphlll, who has resided in the town of
jackson, about 5 miles south of this city,
for the last thirty years. died on Sunday
last, after brief illness.
Mr.. Hemphill was one Of the first settlers
Of this county. When he came here with
his family, this section of the country was
vast wilderness. Savages and wild
beasts had uninterrupted sway over our
beautiful Prairies and woodland. But now
how changed ?-and Mr.. Hemphill lived to
see all these great changes.
We can truly say that in the death of
Mr.. Hemphill this community has lost an
Invaluable member and the country true
patriot. Ever since we were small boys
more than quarter of century ago, we
were accustomed to here Mr.. Hsmphin
spoken Of as a true and honest man. In
deed, during all that time we never have
heard word of ceusure against him
Always prompt and fair in his business
operations, and kind and generous as
friend and neighbor, we never heard his
name mentioned only in praise. Truly
good man has gone to his long home. His
funeral will take place from bis residence
in Jackson this forenoon at 10 O'Clock.
B9rExtremes have seldom met more
singularly than in Mr.. Lincoln and JEFF.
Davis. THE government cannot endure
permanently half slave and half free, )" said
Mr.. Lincoln. "a Ubion between free
States and slave States is impossible" re-
sponded JEFF Davis. Aud it was the COM
bination of these extremists and their par
ties that produced the attempt to separate
the free and slave States. Let not the
guilty escape their just res possibility.
1BThe Administration having shown
US the power of military necessity" and
the delightful unanimity Of opinion which
the bayonet can produce, as illustrated in
the Kentucky election ; it may be instruct.
i've to read the following extract from Secs
rotary Sewards's speech at La Cross, Wis.,,
three years ago:
"What kind of government would il he
if We elected man we did not like instead
of man we did like? Ny impression
is that it would be a government not diff
fering very far from the Empire of Austria.
where they always manage to elect man
whom the people do not like, and ,ohere
they haze an admirable 1c0y of SAVING ale
Union by organizing an army of 500. 600
armed to the teeth, to maintain the man
aohom they DO NOT LIKE"
R9~The London Times says it should
not be surprised if something arose out Of
the alleged proposition from JEFF. Davis
to Napoleon for an offensive and defensive
alliance between Mexico, under the French
protection, and the COnfederates, which
would be quite consistent with the French
policy. The world might look with favor
on such a contingency, but absolute neu-
trality would be England's policy.

tired from the National Hotel, in this city,
