OpITUARY.-We regre: to learn Of the
death OF Horace Palmer, which took
place at his residence in Woodstock, on
Thursday last, in the 55th year of his
age. His death was sudden, though
long feared by his friends. He was
widely and familiarity known as the
clerk of the Pavilion Hotel, Montpelier.
His death will bring to large circle OF
acquaintance many pleasant reminis-
cences of his genial manners and kindly
acts. He was a quiet aud unobtrusive
gentleman, possessing noble heart, and
long years hence pleasant remembrances
will make fragrant his memory in the
hearts of those who respected him as 3
citizen and q friend.

MURDER AT MoNTPELIBR.-A man was
undoubtedly murdered in Montpelier
Wednesday night. The investigation up
to last night had not discovered any
thing of the perpetrators. We copy the
particulars of the affair from Walton's

April oath. Patrick Gibbons, an Irish
man aged about 40 years, was killed by
a stab. There had been a dance at VII
lage Hall, at which Gibbons and other
Irishmen were present looking on. TIVE
Irishmen living here, and three young
men from abroad left the hall about
midnight, when Gibbons seized chair
and followed them down State street 10
the space between the American House
and D. Dewey & Co.'S store, where, with
in perhaps Ave minutes after leaving the
hail, Gibbons was killed. An investigs-
ton is now being made, so we refrain
from giving the rumors OF the street,
except the well authenticated one, TO
wit: that the Irishmen had drank en-
ough to make them ugly. This Is the
third death by violence in Montpelier
since the settlement of the town, and
liquor was the cause in each instance
The first person killed was negro al

moved. known as the Eaton tavern Inc

II yos cannot on the ocean

II yoa cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet,
Rocking on the highest pillows,
Laughing at the storms yon meet,
POu can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay.
You can lend a hand 10 help them,
As they launch their boats away.
If You are too weak TO journey
Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes 40 by;
You can chant happy measure,
As they slowly pass along;
Though they may iSrget the singer,
They viii not forget the song,
II you have no .old or silver
Ever ready to command;
N You cannot toward the needy,
Reach an ever open hand,

If you cannot in the conflict
prove yourself a soldier trne;
IT. where fire and smoke are thickest,
There's no work for you to do:
When the battlefield is Silent,
You can 90 with silent tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover mp the dead.
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;

Letter of Judge Robb. |,

In continuation of the letters solic-
tied by large number of our citizens,
we publish this morning, an excellent
paper from the pen of Judge Robb,
which is a calm, statesmanlike and
convincing exposition of the present
condition of public affairs, and frank
expression of his opinion as to the
duty of our people in this critical
emergency. Taking for a standpoint
his decided repugnance to either of the
alternatives presented by Congress, the
choice of one or the other being inc
vitable, he argues with irresistible
demonstration, that it will be the part
ofwisdom for our people tomake choice
of that which promises the restoration
of our State to her rights upon the
terms offered in the recent act. We
invite attention to his letter.

The New Orleans Press ON the
Political Situation.

The Times, Crescent and Bulletin,
all able and influential papers, are pub
fishing with marks of approval, the
letters on the political situation, which
have appeared in The CLARION from
eminent citizens of this State. The
Bulletin publishes the letter of Judge
Harris, with the following pointed and
suggestive comments, which we copy,
with disclaimer of our endorsement
of the portion which implies an unwil-
lingness to make the effort to bring
the issues under judicial cognizance
and control. While we place no re-
lance in the remedy, we cannot see
how harm can result from testing it,
unless it shall be offered as pretext
for the fatal policy Of non-action, at
the Convention election, if the question
is not decided before that time:
LETTER OF THE Hon. W. P. HARRIS
We publish a well written and sensible let
ter from distinguished citizen of Mississip-
is refreshing in these times to see such men
as Mr.. Harris coming forward to counsel the
people and to recommend the only safe and
wise course for them to pursue in the pres
ent emergency. Could our Legislature be
prevailed upon to adopt some such course
and cease their futile efforts to annul the
actsof Congress by preambles and resolu-
tions, and making appropriations to test the
constitutionality of the military bill before
a court which holds that the existence of
State government is political, not ajudicial
question, and to pertain to Congress, the State
might be benefited.
No halfway measures will suffice. Either
zoe must inaugurate the new government, or
leave it to Others, without any obstacles in
their way If we fail, another power which
We cannot resist, and which will sweep
away all opposition, will come in and &C
complish what we have declined to do. The
alternative is presented. Let wise men
make their selection.
The Times of the 18th in a double
loaded paper, written with great vigor
and force, urges "such an acceptance
of the situation as will enable the
people of the South to organize State
governments in some enduring and
practicable FORM" and eloquently |
warns them 'sthat they must either &C
commodate themselves to the force of
a resistless current, or be swept by its
mad strength against the rocks of
political Scylla or into the whirlpools
OF political Charibdis. 1t gives the
gratifying intelligence that its views
accord with the prevalent sentiment
OF the more thoughtful of the citizens''
of that great Southern CITY.
