The telegraph announces the death of Gov. Gamble. The event was not altogether unexpected, as he has been in a critical condition for some time. He was an aged and feeble man, and we doubt not the perplexities and cares of his official position, had not a little to do with breaking him down. While many of his political acts have been severely denounced, and his general policy widely condemned, we have always heard him spoken of as a man of the purest private life, and as no doubt honest in his public course. But, he was too old and feeble a an for these stormy times, and had too little appreciation of the demands of the hour to meet them with the highest success.

The numerous friends of this worthy young man will deeply sympathize with the bereaved family They have known him from childhood up, admiring his exemplary conduct, and giving him that warm friendship his own generous heart created. He died with the hope of Paradise-- the surety of a new life, where the waves of sorrow never beat. Bidding good bye to his almost heart broken mother, his sisters and brother, and the weeping friends around his couch, he pointed them heavenward; and closing his eyes, without a gasp or struggle, he fell asleep in Jesus. This assurance will heal the bruised heart and calm the troubled waters of the soul; for he we loved has only gone before -- though dead, he yet speaks to us of another and a better world.
