News Item

Minnesota was admitted into the Union as a State on Tuesday by the passage by the House of the Senate bill by a vote of 157 to 38.  Thus, another star is added to the galaxy, the thirty-second State has been born and makes the seventeenth free State in the Union.  Minnesota has been admitted quietly, and in order.  No troubles like Kansas, her people are order loving and law abiding.  Before the close of the present session, Oregon will probably be admitted, as the bill for her admission passed the Senate on the 15th inst., by a vote of 35 to 17.  Thus, the Republic is gradually increasing in power and greatness and consequently in influence.  Our country already stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and will soon embrace the whole continent, whose millions of people will under the star-spangled banner find happiness and prosperity, knowing but one law, one county, one destiny.

Robert Gallup a soldier of the Revolution, died in this village [Greene, Chenango Co. NY] on the 20th ult. of extreme old age.  He was in his 98th year, and up to the hour of his death possessed all his faculties in a remarkable degree.  His services in behalf of our country, and the degree of respect entertained for his character, are fully portrayed in the proceedings of the citizens of our village had in reference to his decease.

Mr. Gallup took up his residence in Plymouth in this county [Chenango Co. NY] in 1807, where he resided for some years.  After a short residence in Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] he came to this village [Greene] where he has continued to dwell until his death.

In pursuance of a resolution of our citizens at a public meeting held on Friday evening last, minute guns were fired, the flag displayed at half mast, and the bells tolled upon the occasion of his corpse leaving this village, on its way to Plymouth for interment.  The body was escorted by a large procession, accompanied with music to the bounds of the corporation.

Sittable honors were paid to the deceased as his remains passed through Oxford and Norwich.  At Norwich the fine Artillery corps of Capt. Tyrrell escorted the body through the town, amidst the booming of cannon.

On Sunday Capt. Tyrrell's Artillery went to Plymouth and assisted in burying the old Hero with appropriate military honors.

Thus, has passed away the last of that gallant band of Patriots who was a resident of this county.  But few remain - scarcely a hundred - of those gallant souls who serve to remind the present generation of the trying times of the past, and as one by one they drop from our sight we feel a mournful satisfaction in knowing that they have witnessed the joyful fruit of their labors and that their last hours are soothed by the grateful efforts of a free and happy people anxious to pay tribute to their valued services.  Lie quiet in your graves, ye heroic men.  Millions yet unborn shall do homage to your worth and speak your names with holy reverence.
