. DEATH OF COLONEL KOBEBT
' STlCANGB. ; " ;
Uarely has the truth of those sbl
eran words of Holy Writ, "in the
midst of life we are In death,? been
so vividly impressed upon the mind
or brought home with -such crashing
force to the conscience of all as in the
sudden dealh of ibis most estimable
gentleman. But : y strday hi trod
our streets inhpnde of vigorous
manhood, exchanging friendly greet
' logs aid giving pleasure to all around
him; to-day-the eloquent tongue is
mute, and the heart ; that, never beat
hut with lofty emotion is stilled for
j ever. A sombre shadow rests upon
our cityiyMen greet each other on
the street, and with bated breath
they whisper. Robert t"trange is dead.
It seems impossible that one so full
of life, so ioved and honored, with
such brilliant prospects for the future
clustering around him, could so sud
denly be taken off. We feel as if it
is not reality, but a hideouT vision of
the gloomy night which the morning
sun will scatter and disperse. But,
alas'.thesadened of faces on every tho
: roughfare in our midst, the. gloom
which pervades all classes of society
and which is felt alike in the social
circle and in the busy haunts of com
merce, speaks a language too plain to
W misunderstood of the depth of feel
ing which this death has caused. And
. worthy was he of these evidences of
affection and esteem. Gentle and un
obtrusive in manner,- firm and deci
deU in his opinions, with a . natural
- dignity that inspired respect, and a
cliivalric sense of honor that could
ripvsloop to the faintest approxiraa-'
tion of any thing'atall unworthy, he
was at all times and under all circum
stances the courteous, high-toned gen
tleman, the fearless advocate of right
and the eloquent defender of princi
ple. He possessed a vigorous intel
lect,' and a clear and temperate judg
ment. He was faultless in the dis
charge of tho duties of life. Vices
he had hone, while the elevated tone
of his morality exerted a general in
fluence over all within the sphere of
its action. ' He was a ready debater,,
prompt lo discuss any point exposed
by an adversary, but always cautious
and urbane and never indulged in
personalities, but was j scrupulously
regardful of the feelings of others.
In early life he clad himself in the
humble robes of the- true Christian,
and died as he had lived, in that
blessed faith which he bad embraced
; in the days of his youth. . ; ' i
Mr. Strange was the eldest son 'of
Hon. Itobert Strange, at one time
Judge of Uhe Superior Court and
Senator in Congress. , He was born
in Fayetteville in July, 1823, gradua
ted with distinction at Chapel Hill,
and embraced the profession of the
law. Shortly after coming , to the
bar he removed to Wilmington, and
at once - assumed a commanding po
sition. He represented New Hanover
couuty in the Legislature before the
war, and was one of the most influen
tial members of that body. He was
for many years a Director, in the
Batik of Cape Fear, which , position
he also held in the Dawson j Bank in
this city. . "
In every position in which he was
placed he was fully equal to all of its
requirements, atid his repjitation as; a
sound jurist and eloquent advocate,
was second tp none wjthin, JLhe limit
of the State. ) Few men possessed in
so great a degree the' 'confidence pf

it, for his integrity was unimpeached
. and unimpeachable; and he was in

opened up before him positions most
gratifying to a laudable ambition, po

TUB COJIPUOiTlISe BILL.-
Special to the Richmoud Whig.j
Washington, Jan.' 24.
Two very striking speeches were
made in Congress yesterday. One
was by AJr. Tucker, in the House of
Representatives, in which he" dis
cussed the electoral question with
great ability, jind gave his support
to the pending Gomprojnise bill.
In the Senate Mr, ' Conkling's
speech was rewarded with such an
audience as any man might well b
proud of. The " gaileries, the floor,
and the body of the chamber were
all crowded, jfilr. Conkling, who is
on all questions one of the best law
yers and debaters in the body, spoke
to-day with unusual force and ani
mation. Despite ill health the speech
was one of the Very ablest of his life.
The impudent claim set up for
the President of the Senate to count;
and decide the 'presidential vote was
the principal point to which Mr. C.
addressed himself, and this claim he
crushed .'with iprefragable logic. Mr.
Conkling sits near; to' Messrs, Mor
ton ahd Sherman, and gave them the
full benefit of jwhat he had to say,
as : if challenging them to grapple
with his position, if they could, lie
was unable, from physical exhaus
tion, to complete his speech, and will
finish to-day.; j j
Messrs. Bayard, lhurman, and
Morton are also to speak, and doubt
less there will be others. f
Mr. Edmunds announces that he
will to-morrow! propose to sit the bill
out till he can 'get a vote, owing to
the shortness of time before the time
of the count, j This is clearly the
policy of the friends of the bill. The
chief danger of the ' measure lies in
having a set of long speeches by its
advocates, which would furnish a
ready excuse to their opponents for
pursuing dilatory tactics, i 1
Special to the Richmond Dispatch.
Washington, Jan. 22.
It is rumored and believed thai
strenuous efforts are being privately
brought to bear upou Justices Strong
and Miller to induce them to decline
in advance to serve upon the electo
ral tribunal, with the hope of im
perilling the passage of. the bill by
making amendments necessary.
Forty-five Representatives have
notified Speaker Randall that they
wish to speak on the bill, but many
of them will Jae cut off by parlia
mentary tactics.

The Southern Home learns from
the Newhern Spectator of 1835 tthatlthe
"cold Saturday1' was February 7tlf of that
year. But the Home also stages, on the au
thority of Mr. Cyrus Sthison, of Uecklen-
burg, that it was the latter part of January.
He says -the February" ,spell was not equal
to the January "cold snap." The Spectator
paper reports several deaths frod freezing,'
and publishes a very .remarkable letter
from ttte keeper of the Newbern jail. He
said that he attempted to put the key into
the lock of a cell in which, there were five
prisoners confined, but it could not enter
because the breath of the prisoners had
frozen in the lock and formed a lump of
ice, which had first to be remdved. The
data here given afford something of a guide
jto judge of the cold in Ibis section. 1 It
must have been many degrees colder here
than in Newbern. Mr. Al K. Savllle, I of
Steel Creek, tells us that on ths "cold Sat
urday," he threw up some boiling water
from a cup, and that it was. frozen by the
time it struck the ground. : r j

Arrest of r Youns but Noted Tblef-
Auother Candidate for Ralelxb
Some night during the early part! of last
week the house of John Galloway, a color
ed porter employed on the Wilmington,!
Columbia & AugU3la railroad, who live6 0n
Ninth, near Bladentreet,was broken open
and robbed of a number of articles, and
Winslow Ga use, aged about seventeen years,
well known in police circles, was suspected
of being the thief. Officer Edward Joyner,
of the police force, was put on the track of
the precocious youth, but he succeeded in
eluding capture - until yesterday afternoon,
about 1 o'clock, when Officer Joyner came
upon the thief onfthe railroad, near Smith's
Creek, in the northeastern outskirts of the
city, and arrested him. ;The officer in
formed Gause that he was suspected of the
theft alltfded to, and - finally worked upon
his feelings to such an extent that he con
sented to show him where he had secreted
the goods. He then took Officer Joyner
to one of the Wilmington, Columbia &
Augusta railroad shanties, where he suc
ceeded in recovering one silk dress, a silk
sack, a fine worsted dress, a large far over
coat and a night shirt, being a part of the
property alleged to have been stolen from
Galloway's house. The prisoner was taken
to the guard-house and .locked up to await
the return of Galloway, who is now absent
from the city, but is expected back in a day
or two. ' ' ,
Gause is charged with being implicated
in several other robberies, and the police
have been on the lookout for him for some
time past. He -narrowly escaped capture
two or three times before, once by jumping
out of a window just ' as the officers were
about to nab him, and it is also said that
on one occasion he shot at a member of the
police force. He is strongly suspected of.
being a member of the gang of thieves who
have been robbing so many dwellings and
stores lately. " j ' I

Winslow will shortly visit the.City of

PresslDS Cotton -
Messrs. VViilard Brox have i n opei ation
in the yard connected with their establish
ment one of the cotton and bay presses in
vented by. Messrs.' J. A. &M. H. McBride,
of Richmond county, and for which Messrs.
Lilly & Brp., of this city, are the agents.
It is a matter of some curiosity to see it
squeezing one of the large bales of cotton
to about cne half of its original dimensions.
The first bale put in 1 the press weighed
seven hundred and seventy ; pounds and it
was pressed to within twenty-nine inches
of the bed. It is claimed that one hand
can press a bale weighing from four hun
dred and fifty to five hundred pounds with
ease, and do it expeditiously, too. As our
city increases in importance as a cotton
port the means for preparing the staple
properly for shipment will also multiply.

deservedly celebrated and popular medicines have
effected a revolution in the healing art,; and aroved

remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with
it reconciled themselves to death without making
an effort to escape from a doom which they mp-

been cored in a very great number ofases (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's .Pul
monic Syrup alone; and ia other cases by the same
medicine in connection with Schenck'a Sea Weed
