HOW ABE THE HIGHTT FALLEN!
If any one had intimated to Mr, Seward,
three months ago, that his course in the
United States Senate would he such as to
seal the mouths of his best friends, and to
elicit the labored eulogies of so ultra a
pro-slavery and disunion sympathising or
gan as thfe Chicago Timet, he would doubt
less have answered, “Is thy servant a dog
that he should do this thing Yet: that is
precisely what has happened within three
months after the great Republican victory.
« THE BOTHER OP STATESMEN. ”
We arc by no means surprised to learn
that some of the Virginia Members of
Congress are taking measures to prevent
the circulation in that Slate of the recent
patriotic speech of Hon. Sberrard Clemens,
of the 'Wheeling district, on the ground that
it is “an incendiary document. 11 The
speech is one of the most effective and con
clusive that has yet been delivered in Con
gress against secession,cxposlng the real ob
jects of tbe secessionists, and the leaders of
the rebellion arc unwilling to suffer the
masses to read it The fact will undoubtedly
click from the Chicago Times another mag
niloquent eulogy .upon-“ The Mother of
States and of Statesmen ”
CONSERVATIVE ACTION OF KEN-
TUCKY.
The Kentucky Senate on Saturday last
adopted resolutions by a vole of 25 to 12,
appealing to the Southern Stales to stop in
their mad career of revolution, protesting
against Federal coercion, anl declaring
that when the Legislature adjourns it shall
be to the 241b of April nest, to hear the
response to un application to Congress to
call a National Convention. This is quite
us much us could have been expected. If,
however, the first resolution Is acoedcd to
by the rcvolutionaiy Stales, the whole
difficulty will he settlcd—coercion will not
be necessary, or even thought of, and no
body will desire the calling of a National
Convention.
SUFFERING IN KANSAS,
Our people have done nobly in minister
ing to the necessities of their suffering
brethren in Kansas. Thousands who, but
for this timely assistance, would hare ex
perienced all the horrors of actual starva
tion, yet live to thank and bless their
benefactors. But the work of relief
must not, even temporarily, be suspended.
Every day adds new families to the charity
list as their little stocks of carefully hoard
ed and sparingly-used supplies give entirely
o L Our dispatches this morning reveal
an amount of destitution and want that
cannot full to open anew the fountains of
sympathy, and, with them, the
pockets and the abundant granaries
of the people of the Northwest also. That
appeal will doubtless be answered by re
newed and si ill larger donations than be
fore. These suffering ones must not be
permitted to perish while we arc rolling in
pienty.
KELLOGG.
The people of the Fourth Congressional
District, in this State, have heretofore been
under the impression that they were repre
sented by a Republican. They will think
so no more. "Whatever 3lr. Kellogg may
havo been at the time of his election, he is
rot a Republican now. He has gone “ hook
and line, bob and sinker.” He Ims deserted
his colors iu the face of the enemy, betrayed
his constituency, and sought more conge
nial political associations. In introducing
into the House of Representatives a resolu
te incorporate the Breckinridge platform
into the Federal Constitution, he reached
at a single stop the lowest depth of politi
cal degradati m. There is this consolation
only to be derived from his present atti
tude—he has strayed so far from Republi
canism that he can never come hack. The
party will be in no danger of a second be
trayal at Ills hands. During the canvass
of last summer and fall, Mr. Kel
logg Was wont to call the corpo
ral's guard of Breckinridge men in his
district, Danitcs. The Rule band did not
suspect the affinity which actually .existed
between him and them—certainly itdidnol
occur to them that within three mouths
from the election he would be a recognized
chief of their party’. We trust they are ns
proud of their new convert as he doubtless
is of his new associates. However painful
his defection may bo to Republicans who
have honored him, and who have trusted
their principles to his keeping, now that he
has shown of what stuff he is made, they
will scarcely wish him hack. Poor Kel
law !

Thus. J. Turner, Commissioners lor the
Slate of Illinois to the Border Slate Con
vention which meets at Washington City
10-day (the 4th,) at the request of the Vir
ginia Legislature. Gov. Koerncr was first
named as one of tho Commissioners, hut
declining the position, the Commission was
filled up as above. Wc Lave no expecta
tion that the Convention will offer any plan
of adjustment that the loyal people of the
Free States would be likely to indorse, but
since it has been thought advisable for
Illinois to be represented in that body, we
are gratified that the Governor has selected
men so eminently fitted for the duty.
It seems that certain leading Democrats
and scmi-BCcessionists arc greatly dis
pleased because Gov. Yates did not make
up the Commission partly from their num
ber! We cannot divine on what ground
they base their claims. Illinois is a Re
publican Slate—she is a loyal Slate, devo
ted to the Constitution as it is, to the Union
and to the enforcement of the laws. Such
being the fact, only Republicans and such-
Democrats as .differ from their party, are
qualified to represent her in a deliberative
body in which those matters are subjects
of discussion. Besides, wc would like to
know what Democratic State will be repre
sented in Chat Convention by a solitary
Republican. Will Virginia? or Kentucky?
or Missouri? or any other of the same
politics? It will be lime enough for Dem
ocrats in Illinois to insist upon favors of
this kind, when similar courtesies shall
have been extended to Republicans in
Democratic States.

And now, Sir, coming from a Slave State, as
I do, I owe It to myself I owe it to truth, I
owe it to the subject, to state that no earthly
power could induce me to vote for a specific

it had not before cdsted, cither south or north
of that line. Coming as I do from a Slave
State, it is my solemn, deliberate and well-ma
tured determination that no power—no earthly
power—shall compel me to vote for the posi
tive introduction of Slavery either south or
north of that line. Sir, while you reproach,
and justly, too, ocr British ancestors for the
introduction of this institution upon the con
tinent of America, I am, Cor one, unwilling
that the posterity of the present inhabitants 6f
California and New Mexico shall reproach ns
for doing just what we reproach Great British
for doing to ns. If the citizens of those Ter

admitting them with snch provirions in their
Constitutions; but then, it will be their own’
work, and not ours, end their -posterity will
have to reproach them, and not ns, for form

against the urgent rnqne*»© ? .r. Ogden for
furthertime to eansidor %, •) is likely to
operate with greaA hur’linei* on merchants
and dealers in Cuicng«jaid*'dicr large to
and effect disastrously the city credit of every
country merchant In the State. The bill
amends section 2 of chapter S3 of the Revised
Statutes, so as to read as follows: “That it
shall not be lawful for any plaintiff to sue any
defendant out of the county where the latter
resides or may be found, except that in every
species of personal actions in law or equity,
when there is more than one defendant, the
plaintiff commencing his actions where either
of them reside may have a writ or writs issued
directed to any county or counties where the
other defendants or either of them may he
found. Provided, that if a verdict shall not be
found or judgment rendered against the de
fendant or defendants resident in the county
where the action is commenced, judgment
shall not be rendered against those defendants
who do not reside in the county, unices they
appear and defend the action.” The bill fur
ther repeals all laws in conflict with the pro
visions of this Act, and makes it in force from
aud after its passage. The practical operation
of such a law will be to compel every merchant
to bring suit for debt in counties where the
debtor resides, and not, os at present, where
the debt was contracted. Senator Appllnglon
on the other side aptly said, that the law, as it
now stood, brought all the lawyers into Chi
cago. This bill would drive them back into
the country.
THE REVENUE LAW.
Mr. Marshall introduced a bill for an act
concerning the revenue laws. It provides that
hereafter all Town and County Collectors and
Treasurers shall monthly, after the receipt of
the tax list, make a report to the Auditor of
the sum collected, and forward monthly to
the Treasurer all moneys collected. In every
case of neglect to do so, they shall be lined
one-sixth of the amount of their compensation.
Great inconvenience has been caused and con
siderable losses sustained by the defects in the
present revenue law, under which Collectors
and Treasurers have been in the habit of hold
ing their collections over from Juno to De
cember.
COMMISSIONERS TO WASHINGTON.
There was a good deal of excitement and
bustle about the State House this morning in
relation to the appointment of Commissioners
to Washington, and the Message of the Gov
ernor communicating the appointments was
received In profound silence. The gentlemen
wcie Stephen T. Logan, Guetavus P. Kccrncr,
John Wood, Thomas J. Turner and Burton C.
Cook. In the course of half an hoar another
Message announced that Gov. Kccrncr had de
clined to accept the appointment, and John
M. Palmer, nominated in his place, was con
firmed. Messrs. Logan and Turner arc here.
Mr. Cook Is in Ottawa, Gov. Wood in Quincy,
and Mr. Palmer in Washington. Each has sig
nified his acceptance of the appointment. The
Democracy denounce these appointments,and
claim they should have been represented, with
Uow much reason may he inferred from the
fict that they voted in a body against the reso
lution. It is understood that Judge Sidney
Brecsc and Gen. J. W. Singleton will be ac
credited to Washington as the caucus repre
sentatives of the Democratic members orthe
Legislature.
THE AUDITOR’S BILL IN THE SENATE.
The Auditor's Bank bill has not comic up in
the Senate, notwithstanding ibe efforts of Us
friends. It is quite important that the bill
should become a law' at an early day.
THE STATE INSTITUTIONS AT JACKSONVILLE.
Messrs. Blodgett, Adams, Dummcr and
Jayne, the Senate Committee, returned this
evening from theirvisit to Jacksonville. They
report the State institutions in excellent con
dition, though suffering from aa inadequate

required than the condition of the Treasury
would seem to warrant.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER*
Tlie Compromisers—How it ts to l>e
Done*—What will Surely Follow—
Policy of tho Republicans—Bon
W»d«*s Compromise—Senator Trum
bull on tbe Crisis—Debate In tbe
House—-Pacific Railroad.
[Special Correspondence of tbe Chicago Tribune.]
Washington, Jon. 31,1861.
The plots of the Compromisers thicken, and
the fear that the fruits of the late victory of
Eight over Wrong, of Justice over Inhuman!-
ty, of Law over Violence, of Religion over
Atheism, will be lost, daily takes a more de*
fined shape, to loom up by and by in dread
certainty. The conspirators arc not yet ready
to make the proposition upon which they pro
pose to stand, and by which the traitors who
have for years been undermining the govern
ment and destroying the sentiment of liberty
in the minds of our countrymen, are to be re
warded. The determined attitude of full
eighty Republicans who will accept no amend*
ment of the Constitution, but insist that it be
obeyed as it Is, who see In the Union the me
thods ot advancing civilization, as well as an
assurance of material prosperity, and who de
mand the enforcement of the laws in the South
as well as the North, operates as a check upon
the announcement of the plans by which the
Constitution is to be eroded or disobeyed, the
Union weakened If not utterly destroyed, and
the laws setat naught and defied. But the re
straint is but momentary. Within a week,
aided by the expected action of the Border
States Convention to bo held here, the com
promisers will dedare their purposes, and the'
struggle will begin. Tour correspondent has
no occasion to predict 1U termination. The
■ men who have been tearing down the national
-will have their reward; but like the
wages of aiqa'ty earned in other fields, their
expected ttivnuUjrcß will turn to dost and
ashes 1b their hands. The Constitution cannot
be amended; that Is certain. Hence they must
content themselves with such a fauns they can
pass: and that they can choose for themselves;
but choose what they may the South will
not be content, and this great battle now Inau
gurated between the opposing forces in this
Government will go on until the justice for
which the free North has contended Is ob
tained and the status of slavery os a suhordi
ordinatc power is settled forevermore. The
gist ot the matter and me reason for my worth
are here. A law— perhaps embodying the Bor
der State proposition—-may be passed and the
contentment of Maryland, Virginia and Kcr,
tacky may be declared; but the difficulty 5b
not then at an end. Nothing will satisfy the
extreme South. The politicians of that quar
ter are In earnest for permanent separation
from the hated North, and the freedom which
U her heritage. They will accede to nothing,
be content with nothing, less than Disunion.
Then when the Government attempts the en
forcement of the law, as it most, in the Cotton
States, these Border States now pleading for
concession will say, “No, this is not what we
“ bargained for. We did not mean coercion •
“ and if yon attempt a resort to force, lake no
tice that you must first conquer us. These
“men in-Carolina, Georgia, &c., arc oar breth
ren. We have, sent half the population to
“ those States. They carried with them the
“ institutions that we cherish, and the proper-'
“ty, to the protection of which we are com
“ mitied. When you assail them, you attack
“us, Lotus compromlseagain!” This is the
luiguage which the Border States will hold.
It is but a fair transcript of what their Legisla
tures have declared, and what is on .the lips of
ttidr representatives here every day. So a
concession, no matter what, so that it falls
short of an entire abandonment of present and
future opposition to the extension of slavery,
and the‘‘perpetual domination of that institu
tion in the Government, will come to naught.
Let those, then, in the West, who have
thdr hats in hand, ready to toss them up when
some new contrivance whereby the North is
to be humiliated, be not jolly too soon. The
contest has but just begun; and the folly and
haste of those who would terminate it by ty
ing the Union up with tow strings or pack
thread,will disappoint the confidence-men who
have not the strength to grasp the full mean
ing of the struggle, oud at the same time add
new complications to the trouble. There is
now, there has never been, butfone way out of
the imbroglio, and that way is plain
tliat he who is not blinded by fear or crazcdby
ambition cannot but see it—stakd firm ! In
that is the whole.philosopby of the skuatlor,
and he who disregards it, goes down. Lucky
shall wc all be, if the government, debauched
by fear and imbecility on the part of those who
should have been courageous and strong, do
not go down with them. But one compromise
is admissible. “I am of the opinion, as a
“Christian man,” says old Bek Wade, “that
“two hundred of the leaders of this couspir
“acy should be hnng as traitors. If the South
“ thinks that number too great, and will give
“ up one hundred and fifty, I will compromise
“on that, so that the Union may be saved!”
Ben is a man who&e intuitions outstrip reason,
and whose instincts are in advance of states
manship.
It Is refreshing to sec in thclamcntablc giv
ing-down on the part of those who ought to he
firm, that there are men whose clear percep
tions of right and duty arc not affected by the
clamor which the compromisers raise. Sen
ator Trumbull, in a brief speech in the Senate
yesterday, declared the whole gospel. He
presented the petition of the members of the
Southern Illinois Conference of the M. E.
Church, setting forth the enormities to which
men of their tilth had been and were now sub
jected in the States of the South, especially In
Texas. From that text and the admission of
Mason of Virginia that be did not detire an
amendment of the Constitution, he spoke,
and his words, thought to reflect the senti
ments of the coming man, electrified all who
heard him. They wercin suchmarkcdcontrast
to the abjectucss of Cameron, and the philoso
phical indifference of Seward, that, though few
aud unpremeditated, they have furnished the
staple out of which more than one new back
. boms will be made.
The debate In the House, on the Crisis, con
tinues. The Report of the Committee of 33 is_
the order of the day henceforth until disposed
of. Yesterday V*e speech was that of Conkling
of New York. It was able and eloquent, but
not wholly satisfactory to either party, be
cause, while far too radical and truthful to
please the South, it was too doubtful on the
point of compromise to command, the unqnali.
lied approbation of the steadfast Republicans.
Mr. Conkling had carcfuliy prepared himself;
but the preparation was rather for immediate
elfect than for final conviction; hence, while
he made a profound impression upon those
who listened to his words, the country will not
bo influenced when his fine turned periods, ap
posite illustrations and forcible comparisons
are put into print. He was exceedingly savage
on the conspirators who arc tearing down the
government—so savage as to call out Hind
man of Arkansas, who asked if the term “ apos
tate Americans” was intended for him. Dis
claiming any offensive personal application of
the phrase, the speaker insisted that this was a
time for calling things by tbelr right namcp
and for showing up to the American people
the unholy ambition and wanton treason of
the conspLatore. Mr. C. had not concluded
when his hour expired.
Mr. Stevenson of Kentucky was next in or
der. He was for compromise—for the Criltcn
don plan ; and if that could be adopted by the
Republicans, the country would have peace.
It was modest in Mr.Stevensonthnt be did not
demand of his opponents the withdrawal of
the President whom they have chosen, as on
additional guaranty that the Republican vic
tory should come to naught in Republican
bauds. Presumptive enough to require of
them an unconditional abandonment of the
principles for which they contended, it would
have been but a slight stretch of assurance to
ask that the representative of these principles
be also put under ban. When disposing of the
kernel why not take tho shell ?
Mr, Cobb of Alabama withdrew from the
House yesterday. Ho is an Union man and
has many friends among all the features in
the body to which he belonged. The action of
his State seemed to compel his retirement
In a neat speech, wherein ho counseled for
bearance and conciliation, ho retired, carrying
with him the respect of all save the fire-eaters,
to whom he is, because a patriot, a milk-sop.
It is conceded now that tho Pacific Railroad
bill and the bill organizing the Territory of
Idaho will become laws. The latter as a
measure of peace, without allusion to the
question of slavery; and the former in a shape
that will not give great confidence to tbc cap
itailsts. Illinois.

PENSACOLA. BAT.
Pensacola Bay has rare properties aa a har
bor. It is now accessible to frigates. The bur
is near the coast, and the channel across It
short and easily passed. The harbor is per
fectly land-locked, and the roadstead very cji
pacious. There are excellent positions within
for repairing, building, and launching vessels,
and for docks and dockyards in healthy situa
tions. The supply of good water is abundant
These properties, in connection with the posi
tion of the harbor as regards the coast, have
induced the Government to select it as a mwal
station, and a place of rendezvous und repair.
The upper arms of Pensacola Bay receive the
Yellow Waters or Pea River, .Middle River,
and Escambia River, eleven miles from the
Gulf.
SANTA' ROSA ISLAND.
Santa Rosa Island, as will be seen by tbo
diagram, completely shuts out Pensacola from
the sea. It is so low that the sea in a gale
washes its top. It is not more than one
fourth of a mile wide. The west point of this
island is at the mouth of Pensacola Bay. The
latter is not over one and a quarter miles
wide.
FORT ITCHENS.
The principle means of defense to the
mouth of Pensacola Bay and the naval station
is Fort Pickens. This fort is a tirst-ulass bas
t’oued fort, built of New York Granite, and
situated on low ground on the east point of
Santa Rosa Island. Its walls arc forty-live
feet in height, by twelve in thickness; it is
embrasured for two tiers of guns, which are
placed under tbo bomb-proof casemates, be
sides having one tier of guns cn barUtie,
The guns from this work radiate to every*
point of the horizon, with dank and cntlladiug
lire at every angle of approach. The work
was commenced in 1823 aud llnlshed in 1553.
Iti cost the Federal Government nearly one
million of dollars. When on a war footing
its garrison consists of 1,200 soldiers. Its
armament, only a portion of which is within
its wall, consists .of —

nTlic Revenue Cotter ItlcClelland l-
lerccptcd Government Dispatch.
[From the New Orleans Delta, Jan. 30.]
The Revenue Cutter McClelland.— We
learn that Mr. Buchanan’s Secretary of thcTreos
my recently sent ilr. J. IL Jones on a private
mission to this State, without communicating
that fact, or the object of the mission to the
Collector of the Port. It appears that Mr.
Jones brought peremptory orders to Captain
Brushwood, of the revenue cutter McClelland,
to take that vessel immediately to New York.
Capt. Brushwood declined to obcy.the orders
and brought-his vessel up. the river to this
port. She now lies in oar waters. The inva
riable custom has been to give such orders
through the Collector of thoPort; but as the
custom was, In this instance, departed from,
Mr. Hatch was totally ignorant of the object of
Mr. Jones’s mission.
[From the same paper.]
Instructions to Arrest Brnsbwood*
The Mayor of New Orleans, Mr. Monroe,
last night received a highly important dispatch
from Governor Moore, of Alabama, addressed
to the Governor of Louisiana, or the Mayor of
New Orleans. Mr. Monroe, finding himself
unable to communicate with Capt. Brushwood
last night, has thought it best to give publicity
to the dispatch, in order t"at its object .may
thus be attained. We think his course In the
matter the best that con bo adopted under the
circumstances. The following Is the dispatch:
Montgoxert, Jan. 53,1861.
To the Governor of Louisiana or Mayor of New
Orleans:
Tho following dispatch was received here to-day,
and has been held for a few hours.
“ WAamxoTOif, Jan. 29.
“Wm. Hemplll Jones, New Orleans:
“Tell Lieut Caldwell to arrest Capt Brush
wood, assume command of the cutter (the Mc-
Clelland,) and obey the order 1 gave through
you. If Capt. Brushwood, after arrest, under
takes to interfere with tiie command of the

mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If any
one attempt to haul down the American flog,
shoot him on the spot (Signed)

other features of a novel und chaste descrip

Mr. Powers’ abilities, and may rest assured
that his work on this large improvement will
not fall short of the many artistic specimens
contributed by him to the various large build
ings of our city.
The Water Question.— The cider Waggles
is now-a-days congratulating himself that he
never drinks-water. This he says in view of
the very lively condition of the staple as at
present furnished by the Chicago Water Works
Company. The animals Lave advanced in size
beyond the purely microscopic. Ton can al
most count their legs and the joints in their
tails, and fancy their round, unwinking eyes
staring at you from a glass of water as they
chase one another about their native element.
Still, it may bo questioned if the venerable
Waggles did not imagine he saw worse speci
mens of the animal creation, the last time the
‘•brain fever” took him. Poor water Is bad,
but whisky is worse. Besides, the former may
be filtered, as it certainly should be about now
m all well regulated families. There is no
foundation for the statement that, in the West
Division, one of these animalculac dambered
out of the water pall, and was only killed after
a sharp struggle, by a rat terrier; but they do
offer themselves of tolcfablc sire, just about
now, it Is a fact.
The Heart op the Andes. —This magnifi
cent picture continues to draw numbers of
eager and delighted visitors. Tho oflcncr it is
seen the more beautiful it appears, and he who
neglects a visit to this woudcrful work of art
docs himself a great wrong. We reprint, at
the request of a friend, the following poetical
description of the painting, which originally
appeared In the Now York Evening Ibsi, from
the pen of Tnckerman. When the picture
was first completed, a flock of those white
birds with black-tipped wings, so common in
South America, were represented midway be
tween the foreground and the mountains.
The artist subsequently erased them from the
canvass, which explains the anomaly in the
eleventh line; otherwise the sonnet is literally
correct;
•* The tropic life of Nature hero o’erflowe,
And fills with radiant hues the earth and air;
Above, the Monsoon’s breath transformed to snows
Crowns dizzy peaks; volcanic ridges bare
Impend o'er vales, exuberant with green,
That fringe the sultry level; far below
The vine-clad trees, with billowy sweep, are seen,
And oyer all what depths of azure glow!
Here ImKern-palms their slender anus uplift;
Here crimson wings are poised and blossoms gay;
Slow through the ambient realm pale wild low!
drift® *
While bright cascades o'er glassy ledges play.
What patient magic in the baud of Art, .
That to untraveled eyes reveals the Andes’
heartl”
The Opera at Bryan Hall.
It will bo received with excellent favor, the
announcement that we arc to have Fabbri in
fall opera at Bryan Hall, where, assisted by &
competent troupe, she will give us Trariata
and the Daughter qf the Regiment.
The only needed change in this noble Hall, to
secure it the highest praise of both artist and
audience in Opera, is being made by ilr. Bry
an, who has extended the stage forward, giving
it a present depth which is a great improve
ment, and will, we are confident, be received
as of large advantage to the general utilities of
the HnlL A curtain, sliding upon rings, is to
be added, which in ordinary uses of the Hall
will remain inconspicuous on either wing, but
Opera it will be a handsome tndneeded “pro
perty.”
The perfect proportion, roominess, admira
ble light, and rare acoustic qualities of this
audience room, its large means of access and
egress, its freedom from narrow and crooked
flights ol stairs, have given it in this its first
season a large and lasting popularity with our
residents and especially with strangers from
abroad, lecturers, artists and others whose
judgement is made valuable by experience and
opportunity for comparison. And now that a
slight modification is to render it ready for all
occasions as an Opera House nothing seems
left to be desired in its behalf
While on this subject it should be added that'
Hr. Bryan has completed the important ad
juncts of a ladies’ Cloak room and dressing
room, with check boxes Ac., all on a scale
rarely attained, and a most important feature
on festive occasions such as those pf winch
Bryan Hall has . known this present season.
Altogether, in respect to Its qualities named,
and the sterling art attractions that have been
made Us decorative features, our citizens have
ajustand permanent source of local pride in

OBITUABT.
V«x many hearts -will be saddened by tie
Intelligence, given in another column, of the
death of Henry L. Wilson of this city, which
took place at the Clifton House on Saturday
evening. Deceased was a younger brother of
Charles L. Wilson of the Evening JbumaZ, and
at the time of his death was connected with
that establishment, os its business manager.
A native of Albany, New York, he had been
for quite a number of years a resident of Chi*
cago. He was formerly and for sometime a
partner in the linn of Wilson & Hughes, and
later has resided in Joliet, where during the
open season be has been engaged in working
an extensive stone quarry.
In all the relations of life Mr. Wilson was,
to a rare degree, endeared to those who knew
him, by a disposition, frank, open and gener
ous, and by a sincerity and Intelligence which
were his instant recommendation to all with
whom he was brought in contact. Many
hopes of friends are blasted in his sadden
death. He alone, whose hand dealt the blow,
can administer consolation to the crushed
hearts of relatives, especially to her the most
bereaved at this sad hour. The funeral will
take place to-day, as elsewhere announced,
from Grace Church, on Wabash avenue, with
which‘Hr. Wilson has been a worshipper du
ring his,residence in this city., •
r Extensive Pailuee in thb Sneak-Thict
Tjnel—For ~ someweeka, the proprietor* of
Brunswick’s “Billiard Hall have been annoyed
by frequent losses to their patrons, and to
themselves. Coats, hats, gentlemen’s furs,
canes and divers small articles would repeat
edly turn up missing; billiard balls would be
“pocketed,” and appear no more; valuable
cues would be “ taken,” andno sign made, and
altogether a considerable sum total of loss was
experienced, and no clue obtained as to direc
tions and means.
They set the city detectives at work, and the
latter soon found reason to suspect a habitue
of this and other saloons about town, a young
man always well dressed, yet with no visible
means of support. The suspicion was con
firmed very speedily by seeing him lu the act
of pawning an article of clothing, subsequently
ascertained to belong to one of the attaches at
Brunswick’s.
The young man, known as William Collins,
was arrested by officer Macauley, and au inves
tigation showed him to be in possession of
eight pawn tickets, which were found to rep
resent lu each instance stolen property, some
of which has been identified, and the rest may
found at (he City Marshal’s office, as follows:
A black silk velvet vest pattern ;palr of elate
colored pants; drab do; black doeskin do,
now; felt hat, blue cord, striped cambric lining;
medallion breast pin, car rings and seal r.ng,
new; brown, raised check rest; brown over
coat, and a red, black and white cottonade
coat. There were also fonnd upon him two
notes in favor of Edward Sackctt, Commission
Merchant, which have been identified, one
being for SIOO, the other for sl7. Collins has
been held to bail in the snm of SSOO. He is
evidently bound for Alton. He has most cer
tainly gone down “ the curve of swiftest de
scent” which exists in morals as in physics,
arid is specially reserved for young men with
a taste for dress and extravagance, accompan
ied by a lack of disposition to go to work at
something useful, however humble. The truth
of the old fashioned couplet that, “Satan finds
some mischief still, for idle hands to do,” is
sustained by very many “ bound ” volumes in
all our penal institutions.

The Banquet. —One of the most beantlinl
passages in the proceedings at the banquet in
honor of the delegation from the Chicago
Board of Trade, was the eulogiuxn pronounced
by Samuel H. Kerfoot, Esq., of Chicago, in
honor oi the late Henry D. Gilpin, Esq. The
remarks of Mr. Kerfoot were entirely extem
poraneous, but abounded in eloquent al.uslons
to the refined virtues of the deceased, and to
his exalted taste in every matter connected
with the arts, sciences and literature.
The bequest of Mr. Gilpin to the Chicago
Historical Society was the especial reason &r
allusion on this occasion, as “by means of
this,” in the language of the speaker, “the as
sociation already grown to an Important posi
tion, had gained, iu addition to its name, a
prospect of a substantial and enduring local
habitation, Mr. Gilpin having provided for
the erection of a permanent building as the de
pository of its collection of books and
archives.” Mr. Kerfoot’s remarks were couched
in the most chaste terms, and were received
with great cordiality by the company. The
memory of Mr. Gilpin was drunk stand ing and
