It is with feelings of profound reijret, says the inrleston ICvcnimj X>w?, that we have to re>rd the unexpected demise of General James adsleu, last evening. Having, from his youth, cilpied a large space in public estimation, there scarcely any form of patriotic service iu which i lias not shared. In the earlier stage of his reel* liij |K>>ition was beneath the standard of s country, uudi-r the command of General ckson, who, with his readiness to appreciate erit, horn towaids the subject of this notice o warmest personal regards In civil pursuit* General Gadsden exhibited the Ilia n?lrinlii< ~i j? ?v<vmvii iv uiiij Kim unurucier* t :d llic other portions of liis career. In diplo- ? ucy his services are too recent an J ini|M?iant 1 be Bonn obliterated from the public memory. te "Gadsden Purchase" alone would confer ' liable iionor on hid diplomatic efforts. 1 In tlic relations of domestic life ho afforded j example of well balanced and properly lem- * red moral affections, and in his many assccia>ns of friendship lie was'no leas a mdHel for J illation.
