JOSEPH WALKER.
Jobkph Walkkr -was bom in New Or
leans, in July, 1780. Hia lather was a
anHvft of old England, and his mother was
a Creole of Louisiana.
Not much is known of his eorly history.
Though he did not enjoy ail the »dvont
agos of éducation, he acquired ft knowledge
of the French, English and »Spanish lan
guages; all of which he wrote and »poke
with oum> and fluency.
When he was twenty or twenty-one lie
went. to Mexico, where Lieut. Pike met
hiin in 1H07. He was then a lieutenant of
dragoons !n tho Spanish service, and mas
ter of the militft% school at Chihiiuhtm.
Having resigned bis commission, he re
turned to civil life, and went into the
horse business, which lie followed soveral
years. Buying horses in the interior of
Mexico, he brought them to Nato her,
where he found a ready market l'or tlieni.
When his native State was invaded l>y »
British army, Mr. Walker hastened to
meet, the foreign iuvudor on tho plains of
Chulmette, but he did not participate in
tho great victory won by (Jen. Jackson, as
ho was on particular service on that mom
orable day, far from the Held of buttle.
About the year 1817 Mr. Walker sslt.b-d
in the parish of Rapides, which became
his permanent place of residence for the
rest of his days, except when called Iroin
it by pnblio duties. In 1822 he was called
into public lile by the Democratic party
by boing elected a member of the Lower
House of the Legislature, and he served in
that capacity until 1824.
On tho 22d of January, 1822, he was
created Brigadier General of the Fifth
Brigade of tile State Militia. In 1837 he
was again returned to tho Jlonse, ot'which
he was choscn Speaker by a flattering
vote. Having been elected State Senator
in 1841, he remained in tbe Senate 2 year*
On the meeting of the Convention in
1844, held l'or tbo revision of tho State
Constitution, Mr. Walker took his seat in
that body, and was called to preside over
its deliberations. At the close of the Con
vention, a handsome vote of thanks was
passed upon tho acceptable marinrr in
which the more than ordinary difiicultitis
of that position were performed.
In 1844 be was nominated for the Uni
ted States Senate, but was defeated by the
election of tbe late Governor Henry John
son. But two years after—that is, in 184(i,
the Legislature elected him State Treas
urer—a position be held until 1849. His
administration of the fiscal affairs of th#
State was very satisfactory.
His Democratic friends having present
ed his name as a candidat» for the office
of Governor in .1840, he prevailed over bis
opponent. According to the official vote,
he reoeived 18,6(10 votes, and DeClouet
17,663.
Governor Walker was installed into the
office of Chief Magistrate of Louisiana on
the 26th of January, 1860, and relinquish
ed it on the 20th of January, 1858, tho
term of his administration having been ont
short by tbe adoption of the Constitution
of 1862.
Tbe condition of the State was peaceful,
prosperous and happy during tho time lie
remained at the helm of public affairs
Those who believe in the vigorous enforce
ment of tho penalties prescribed by law
for offences, condemned his tender-heart
edness when appealt d to in behalf of
criminals who had been condemned to un
dergo the punishment decreed bv crime,
in truth, he was too kind hearted for the
office of Governor.
On vacating the gubernatorial chair,
Governor Walker withdrew entirely from
public life, and retired to his estate in the
parish of Rapides, where he passed away,
after a protracted illness, on Tuesday, the
22d day of January, i86(i. He was an
enthusiastic Free Mason, and had long be
fore his death, attained to tho highest
grade of that ancient and honored frater
nity. Governor Walker had twelve chil
dren. He survived his wife sixtocn years
Mrs. Walker was born in Mississippi on
the 17th of May, J7H7, and died oo the
lût h of November, 1840.
"Governor Walker," wrote one who
knew him well, "was by no means an or
dinary man. A Creole of the State, he had
striking personal advantages, and his lot
was cast amid men and scenes that gave
him a clear view of human navire iu its
•ver changing phases, and a proper appre
ciation of the legislation requisite for a
population at one time peculiar, and yield
ing slowly to that spirit of progress which
is now a distinguishing feature of the age.
lie had a mind of rare sagacity, quick in
precept;on, and prompt in execution "
"Abler men there were in the land in
his time, but a nobler or more honest eiti
2en could not bo found. 11 was a principle
of his nature to do right, regardless of per
sonal cpnw<jucnees; »n<l if be erred lit
times, no one ever doubted the integrity of
his motives, or tho singleness of purpose
that directed hie course."
"As a friend, parent, neighbor, and
counselor, Governo rWalker was cherished
by all" A. A. T.
C hhibtopiikk C olumbus .—We find the
following interesting statement in tho
Madrid letter of tho Now Vork Timos :
A sooioty hu» recently beou formed in
Paris, the object of which i» te publish
rare works on Amorican history and urch
»ology. The early SpanHih expeditions,
and the organisation of the various colo
nies, will thus be fully illustrated in conrso
of time. In the mcanewliile, the socioty
has thought that it could not do better
than to commonce the seriös of its publi
cations with a reprint of the letter of
Christopher Columbus on tho discovery of
the Now World. This document, is the
earliest relating to America with which
we are at present acqöaintod. A Latin
translation of it was printed in 1490 ; Ital
ian and German versions speedily follow
ed ; and now M. Loon do Kosney presents
it to us in a French dross. Tbo editor ex
plains in his preface what wore tho real
designs of Coinmbus; noscientillc theories,
no thought of disoovcriug a new worid
ever entered into his head. He wanted
merely tt> find another road to India, In
>1 te nd of that which travelers followed by
Egypt and tho Ked Sea. For this reason
he designated by the name of India^the
country whore bo landed ; on his arrival
at Cuba he believed himself to be in Chins,
and was surprised at not meeting with the
Khan of Tsrtary. Political conquest,
commercial enterprise and religions pros
olvtism were the threo leading motives
which guided the Genoese admiral, and
from this point of view the pamphlet pub
lished by M. de Rosny is extremely inter
esting. Copious notes have beou added,
al. borrowed from original sources.
A BE S piritual M kdioms J IWH.BER?-—
This question is to be decided by the Uni
ted Status Court now in »eosion at khiftalo.
A medium named Colchester, doing busi
ness in Rochester, was requested !>,y the
revenue collector to take out a juggler's
license, lie refused, on the ground that
spiritualism did netcomoun. 1er that bend,
iio gave ball to appear at crttirt, whorl tho
case will be tried. Colchester has onguged
eminont counsel; among them are named
Judge Edmonds, of New York, and Hon.
John R. Tulcott, and Josiah Cook, Esq.,
of Buffalo.
Anderson Heller, Herman, and all the
other distinguished professors of the
"black art" are to be subpoanaed for tbe
prosecution. Among the principal wit
nesses for the defense will be Geveroor
Hruith, of Vermont, the two Lanes, Judge
Edmonds, of Now York, Senator Chandler,
of Michigan, and « number of distin
guished gentlemen from every part, of the
country, Tlio cane promises to be a rich
one, as it is the first, time t,he spirits have
been invited to a session of the United
States Court. The triai will come off this
