The lowered flags that met the eyes of our citizens yesterday morning as they arose for the duties of the day, strack ® pang to every heart, for they knew that some man, dear in the affections ofthe people, had fallen. Who was the falien onf& was the inquiry on every lip, and the reply, that Death had chosen this time Gen. Collins, brought a deep shadow of sorrow over all, for none in our midst had fewer. enemies or wav mote sink cerely. beleved by all. Brigadier General James Collins, ws a noble specimen of a man. Upright, honorfaible and sbove reproach, he commanded the. respect of all men who esteem the virtues that adorn the better portion of our race.— As a patriot he felt most deeply for his coune. try, and had served her siticerely and hon» orably in several capacities os a soldier and civilian. Itmay besaid that he died full of honors. Higher positions indeed he might have filled bat for his modesty and invincible Positions ‘were thruat upon him—he never —condescended to ask prefertment from the hands. of the public.» When tendered him he took them if compatible. with his sense of y deat and as fully honored as ever all over , Pan undivided country ! Had one leap of __the Legislature of bis State, though opposed . aame time a near neighbor found him lying in . the corner of the lot ocenpied by the General “eft: we. Would that his days might have the highest standard. And he filled every place, both as civilian and soldier, honowably aod well. He dignified the office ratber than the office honored. him. Gen. Collins held a command inthe Black Hawk war avd was equal to any emergency. When the war broke out between the Uni-« ted States and Mexico he was sent out with an Lilinois Regiment as Colonel, and so well did he act the part ofa gallant soldier inthe campaign that ended in the entrance of Scott ‘into the city of Mexico as conqueror, that to him in politica, voted him # magnificent aword—a proud recognition of hie distin” guished services. Gen. Collins aftetwards, we believe, was a legislator of Wisconsin. . of hearingthe febellion was ¢ and the eer oo, ne would have Ameri¢an Republic waseternal part im peace.” » except by adoption. ‘These all idolized him The funeral vervices will take” place today at 2 P.M.

He has served the county and State in the Legislature two sessions. where he was the “noblest Roman of-them all.” Last fall he wae elected to the office of County Treasurer. which he occupied at the time of his death. Gov. Stanford also gave to him the appointment of Brigadier General uf thre 4th Division of the California militia, a position which he filled with dignity up to the time ofthis decease. Gen. Collins died of a stroke of apoplexy, and bis death is thought, by competent med. ical authority, to have been instantaneous and probably without apang. On Monday the General was in more than usual good spirits. He conversed with his friends cheerfolly during,the day, and at the Armory in the evening related with zest the incidents of his campaign io Mexico. The evening was spent with great apparent pleasure to himself and to the great edification and enjoyment of his friends who listened to his modest and nmiable discourse, At about midnight he went home, and paseed through the house. Mrs. Collins discovered hia absence at an early morning hour.
