THE DEATH OF GEN. HAMILTON, IN TEXAS. When the news of the death of (en. Jame Hamilton (says the Augusta Constitutionalist was announced at Austin, the seat of Govert ment in Texas, the Governor of that State con munnicated the melancholy intelligence to th Legislature then in session. Gov. E. M. Peas( in his message, stated that "the deceased wn one of the first who raised his voice in our b( half at the commencement of our revolutionar struggle, and his services and means were lavisl ly given to our cause, both before and after h became a citizen of the republic. His big standing and influence in the world contribute much to the successful issue of our revolution. " Texas claimed himt as a citizen, and ranke him as one of' her greatest beneflactors. Sh mourns his untimely fate, and will evr cheris his memory with veneration." Resolutions of Col. Wigfall, adopted by th Senate, on the occasion of the death of Get James Hamilton: Resolred, That this body has received wit profound sensibility, the annunciation of th death of Gen. James Hamilton, of South Car< lina. His death is a calamity not only to th nation and his own state, but also to the Stat of Texas. He was the hold and powerful adv< cate of Texas in ier dark and bloody struggi with the almost imperial power of Mexie: When the heroic spirits of 'G were treated wit opprobrium, and as having forfeited all clain; to the fraternal regards of' the people of t United States, he then ini his place in the Senat of South Carolina, with thoughts that breathe and words that burned with living lire, repelle the imputations on the purity and honor of ot iotives-and inl the light of such eloquence an truth gave such elevation to our controversy r to challenge the admiration of the world-an to change indifference into friendship and ei thusiastm. For his services on that itemorab' occasion he was offered by Texas the chief con mand of her army. His genius, his pre-emiune abilities, his high character and enthusiastie d, votion to the interests of time country, illustrate and adorned the various exalted civil trusts wit which he was honored by the Republic. As om Minister, he secured a treaty with Great Britaii the most powerful natioit on the globe. He ab negotiated a treaty with the Kingdom of ti Netherlands, and rendered many other sign services with high honor to himself and to t benefit of the nation which lie represented. 13 special act of Congress lie was vested with tl: rights of citizenship, and lie ranks very hig among the eminent and illustrions of her citizen Resolred, That this body will manifest its r spel-t for the memory of the deceased, by wearin the usual badge of mouirning, and that a copy these proceetings be transmiitted to the fatnil of the deceased.
