Grand Haven Michigan WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1861. Death of Hon. Stephen A, Douglas. Another great man bas fallen ! Anoth er hero, statesman, lover and supporter ofl government gone! Hon. Stepuin A. Douglas is no morel He died on Mon day morning last, at 0.10, at his residence in Chicago, and a nation this day mourns his loss. He was emphatically one of iho crreatest the creatcst roan id the Congressional Halls of the nation, and a staunch supporter of the govern ment and our national honor. He will be missed, sadly missed, there. That voice that has so recently proclaimed that our government must and shall be sus tained will no longer be heard in its do fence. His loss at this critical period in our nation's history may truly be esteemed a public calamity. The loss of bis mighty, jinnt-liko iufluence that might havo sorv- od greatly to restoro honorable peace and earnestly desired tranquility to our troub led political waters, will be mournfully felt n every department of our vast govern ment, from him who now sits in the chair of stale to his humblest minister. Yes! ihcro will be mourning, mourning for the death of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, from Maine to Florida, and from tbe At lantic to the Pacific, wherever his name, virtues, and noble patriotic sentiments arc known, and many a tear will be dropped to bis memory. Itequiescat in pace. Death of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. The sad event of the mornirig has thrown, a shadow of profound gloom over tho entire city. Hon. Stephen A. Doug las expired this morning after weeks of llness, of alternate hope and fears, at (eleven minutes past nino. The early bulletin at the Trcraont House announced tuat tnero- wcro no hopes of his recovery ; a second, " Judge Douglas is dying;" as wo now write, the third, tho simple announcement, "is dead,'' finds a mournful responsive echo in every heart. For a week past tho lamented deceased has been only semi conscious. Thongl recognizing his friends ho has been unable to locate them, and his miud gave out confused fragments of tho great thoughts with which his giant intellect was wont to rapplo. The last week was an anxious ono oft hopes and fears and as we went to press on Saturday evening, moro favorable ymploms inspired the belief in his friend that he bad passed the crisis and that he would again be spared in this hour when his country so much needed his strong arm sand bis experienced counsels. His physicians, men of experience and skill, used every resource of their profess ion to take advantage of these favorable symptoms but in vain. At twelve o'clock ast night ho failed to recognize his most intimate friends and became totally un conscious; at tbreo o'clock he commenced rapidly to fail and his unwilling physi cians pronounced him beyond hope. Their only duty left was the modrnful one of easing his dying hours. He gradually failed, seemingly without pain, until eleven miuutes past nine, when tho lamp of life was extinguished without a sigh or a struggle. His devoted and loving wife remained with him to the last moment, solacing him as best she could, buried under the weight of tho deep af fliction. Madison Cutts, his brother-in-law, Miss Young of the Tremont House, B. G. Caulficld, and Dr. Hay were also present. His death was peaceful and tranquil as the melting away of a 6ummer cloud at evening and the mourning watchers were alone with all that was earthly of Ste phen A. Douglas. Tho funeral obsequies of the illustrious! dead will take place on Wednesday, and the remains be conveyed to Washington on Wednesday night. To-morrow they will lie in state at Bryan Hall. As we close our writing, the bells are tolling and all tbe prominent buildings and flags are being draped. It is literally a city of, mourning. Chicago Journal, June 3. Circuit Court.

When quito youug bo manifested strong military inclinations. At twelve years oi ago ho entered a dry goods store, at Troy, as clerk, being in possession at tho time of a good common school education; when seventeen years of ago ho went to Chicago, arriving there penniloss, but by his energy and perseverance soon achieved a high position. While residing there the exploits of tho r rench Zouaves at bo basloDol became the theme of comment. and ho believing the Zouave tactics tbe most efficient yet studied, set about to organize a company in that city which were called "The Chicago Zouaves." Aftor practicing about a year they went on a tour East, wbich is fresh in the minds of our readers. Their tour was ono continued ovation. After breaking out of the war ho wont to New iork city and organized a Zouave Regiment composed of members of the iire De partment, which he took forward to Washington, which from the first has elicited the roost markod admira tion, of whose exploits it is hardly ncc cssary to detail as they are fresh in th minds of our readers.
