Mr. President: The message just read

M It is not fit that I should obtrude my"
R private griefs upon the Senate, although
II am well assured that its kindness would
B extend some indulgence to a friendship of
Bo most iuiinate character, which, com-!
Bmenciug in college companionship, has'
I! been unimpaired by the chances andi
Kchange* of life, and undiminished even!
K by party spirit, whose repulsive energy.
H so often breaks asunder the strongest!
E bonds of affection. For although, sir, it!
fihas so happened that wc have been much;
Sj and long opposed in politics, and although]
81 have had much occasion to feel-the ad-]
8 verse influence of his high character,*
B there is no man who loved him, living,!
X or mourned Him, dead, more than I do. I

Immediately after the reading of the
S journal of last Friday,
Mr. Pinckncy roic and addressed the

5lr. Speaker: Often as Death has already
been among*! ns this session, he
has again entered within thCSC wa!.'?i
taken another, and one of the most excellent
members of this honorable body.
Yes, vir, Death ha? again been amongst
us.?and it is in consequence of one of
tnosc sudden and awful dispensations of
Divine Providence, to which, however
painfully we may feel thorn, it is our duty
to submit, that I now rise to announce to
tins House the decease of mv late colleague.
RICHARD I. MANNING. He
left this city on Friday last or. a visit to

that the three armies arrived at Tampa

he was attended through most of his
^march, by a body of Indians on ponies,
as a guard of hnnor, ready-to avail ihomsclres
of the slightest disorder or lack of
'caution. |
The spirit of enterprise, on the part ofl
the young officers has been repressed tol
an nnreasonable degrfa. No effort has!
been made to meet the enemy, in their!
own tray, by partizan warfare, except inl
a few instances, ami even then, we be-1
jieve, without the sanction of the higher
Officers. The result is, that the Indians,
from impunity, hare grown daring in their
desultory attacks to a degree hardly conceivable.

ability to fly from, or catch hfg annoycrs.3

proportioned to the object. lie has!
