Mr. Dubose was a graduate of Yale College, and a gentleman of high cultivation and literary taste. lie ofteu served his Parish in the State Senate, and in the j&ar 1836, without agency on his part, wnS> chosen Lieutenant Governor of the'State. His grest intelligence and political experience several times iimuced the profferlo him 6f the nomination for Congress from-Charleston Die trict, but be rather shunned than sought public station. Eminent for private ffrtiies and in colloquial powers, he was universally regarded as the friend of the poor, the benefactor of his neighborhood, and the social ornament of the circle in which he moved. In his decease, the State has lost a useful and patriotic citizen, and ^Uimerous relatives and friends deplore an irreparable bereavement. ,-f.

L We, or cour?v allude to Lite. rnwrshiohnving , question of slavery, .and tbe .sectional strife which has been renewed in a fiercer end deadk lier spirit, by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. VV'e d<? not. at nil sympathize with , , that maudlin spirit of regret, wbiuli blubbers r orer the di*turbauce of the hollow truci-, pro claimed by the cupprornise of I8fi0?a compromise which, in saorifjoing principle and right, to temporary peace and party expediency, gave, and could give, no real .latfefacuoni to either section of the country, For having neither honesty nor good faith as its basis, it , bore within itself the seeds of its own disso' lution. It tampered with a disease whiclj bad ; already assumed a moat malignant type, and, like all quacks, it only aggravated the pains and perils of the patient. Such were our opin ions at the time, of the passage of the . com? "<!? and our recorded words have since jlll/IIHOV) ? " " j met complete vindication. I\? deplore, there I fore, the disturbance of a repose so disgraceful i to ihe South, to bewail .the inevitable and expected consequences of her own submission,; and to waste ourselves in vain complaints, when events are crowding upon us which de raand our loftiest energies. With the present Congress end all truces or , compromises with slavery. This is the Ianj gunge of the entire North, and it has signi led iU determination by returning to Conr gross in the elections of the last fall, with a' ?j unanimity unprecedented, s host of rabid free. (floilera, whose sole ambition will be to outstrip ? each other in insulting and wronging the South. The issUe is to be boldly and distinctly made, of. " iiq more slave States;" and the South is is.expepted to submit, with some giimuce, and furious protestation, perhapr, but to submit at last, rather than dissolve the Union. This is the insolent and aggressive attitude ol the North -toward* tlii South. To assume it,' old parti s have disbanded, ancient foes embrace, time-honored principles are abandoned, and all organizations become subservient to the one grand Idea of .abolition. With such prinoi pies and spirit, it is not likely that an opportunity will bewanti. g. Kansas, in all probability, wiH apply during the next Congress for admi-siou into tiie Union. 4 he iudic:atioiis tire, that slavery will be established by its Territorial Govern merit. We h ve Confidently looked to this consummation in ?yito of Abolition Emigrant Societies; and the threats or the Free Soilers. That 'IVrHtofy lies side by side with tlrfe great slave state Missouri, and throughout this controversy therfe has been manifested among her' people thai resolute-pioneer Spirit of the Wefct, which wotdd not brook life, estaWitdinrertt tinder tlietr very eyea of i race 'b sUve-stealers and incendhKiesi Arrd ereu in fiw muttyr of seftlemeat ft wt-s nol fo He lost" sight oV. that those ho-* were InrrusU'tf wrth the. destinies of slavery in abet quarter wete near'at baud; "While like Imiudirof foul and ravenoushtiufs, the haters of the South made their flight from afar off.

A Curious Pijvsiogical Fact?A French officer, while making a reconnoissance Near Sevastopol, was knocked down by the wind of a cannon ball, and,the shock was so severe as to cause a paralysis of his tongue, so that he could neither move it nor speak. Obtaining leave of absence he returned to Marseilles, and placed himself under electrical treatment After a few shocks he could move his tongue with more facility,and at length, afteran unusu ally powerful .shock,.hia speech waa restored, and he was fully recovered.
