Tracy gave up, and Lord LOqth drank a

THE STATE is to lose for the present the
services of one OF its most gifted and zeal
Gus supporters, in the decision of Senator
Fleming DuBignon to retire from the po-
litical arena, and devote his time to the
practice of his profession. He removes in
the fall from Milledgeville to Savannah
where he will continue his practice. His
services for Baldwin county in the House
for so long a time, and his able repre-
sentation of the Twentieth district in the
Senate, have, by the marked ability dis
played by Mr.. DuBignOn, placed him con-
spicuously before the people of the State
and given him the plaudits Of her whole
people, His loss to the people of his pre-
sent district will be sOrely felt, and his re-
moYal to Savannah gives that city gen.
tleman whose ability at the bar and whose
social qualities and personal magnetism
guarantees him success wherever he may
