bill was made the order of the day for to-morrow at 12 o'clock. Death of Judge Hopkins.--Mr. Crump said: Mr. Speaker, it is my painful duty to announce to this House the death of Judge Hopkins, of the county of Washington.

At the early age of sixteen he was deprived of his parents, and cast upon the world to shape his own fortune. He removed to the far West, as Washington county was then considered, in 1820. He remained there until the year 1825, in which year he removed to Russell county, where he taught school. --Here he read law under Dale Carter. In 1833 he was elected to the House of Delegates. In 1835 he was sent to Congress, where he served six terms in succession. In 1847 he was appointed
