DEATH OF PRESIDENT TAYLOR.
The news of the decease of our President, wit
fall upon the nation like the shock of a thunder.
bolt. To almost every town s it will come without
a word of warning, With unaffected feelings of
grief. we announce the death of President ZiCHAST
Tanoa. at the Executive Mansion, in Washington,
at 35 minutes past 10 o'clock, on Tuesday evening
last, alter a painted Meese of little more than 'fire
days. His disease begun with Cholera mobile,
which passed into bill ors remittent fever. His
death was calm and peaceful; and his last words
were G I am prepared. I have endeavored to do
my duty ."•
We extract from the Tribune, a short eke lib of
the Me and services of General Taylor t
Z4Cll,lllll' Tartan, the son of a fathee honorably
distingn fthed in the Revolutionary waiiwas born in
Orange Co. Virginia, Nov. 24. 1784. _ Till the age
of 2lhe worked on the farm of his father, but early
developed a taste for military life.. fle was sp.
pointed let Lieutenant in the Seventh *Lifantry on
May 3, 1804. In 1810 he married Mips Margaret
Smith of Maryland. In• 1812 he served as captain
tinder Gen. Harrison in the Indian war of the N.
West, where in September he gained great credit
for bravery an(coolness in defending Fort Harri
son against the pavages, and received the rank of
Brevet-Major in consequence. In the course of the
war he further distinguished himself. When it
ended, being reduced to the rank of; Captain on ac.-
-count of the general redaction of the army. he re
signed and went back to his Carat. He was reinsta
ted a. Majnr in 1816. and commanded for two years
at Green Bay on Lake Michigan. Afterward he
served mostly in the South, being scarcely ever ab
sent from active duty. On April 19.1819 he receiv
ed the commissio tof Lieut. Colonel. After 1826
he was again sent to the North-west. where he re
mained five years. In 1632 he was made Colonel
and served in the Black Hawk War. Afterwards
he was stationed at Prairie du Chien till 1836. when
he was ordered to Florida. whereon Dec.2s, 1837.
he fought. the battle of Okechohee, one of the most
memorable in the annals of oar Indian hostilities,
which virtually put an end to the war; for this he
received the brevet rank of Brigadier General. He
remained in Florida till .1840, when he took cow
mend of the first department of the, Army in the
South-West, his headquarters being at Fort Gibson.
in Arkansas. la 1845 he was ovilered to the Texan
frontier, in anticipation of the Mexican War, and at
the beginning of August had taken up his position
at Corpns Christi. On March 8. 1846. in oomph
anee with the orders of President Polk• he began ti
"march on the Rio Grande. The events which fol
lowed this step are too crellknewn to require recapitn.
lation here. The battle of Palo Alta was fought
May S. 1846. that of Resaca de la Palma the next
day. March 8,1846. in compliance with the orders
of President Polk. he began to march on the Rio
Grande. The events which followed thi• step are
too well known to require recapitulation here. The
battle of Palo Alta was fought May 8, 1818. that of
Resaea de la Palma the nestday. Matamo,o 'sass
takeri May IR ; on the 30th he was made Major
General by brevet, and on June 29 was promoted to
lull rank. The attack on Monterey began Sept.
21, and was closed by the capitulation on the 24th.
His great and final Nettle of Buena Vie:areas fought
on Feb. 22, 1847. In all these affairs be manifest
ed great soundness of judgment, readiness of mind
fertility of resources. mastry of the art of war, power
of inspiring his sabordinates*not only with affec
tion for his person. but with cr..nfidence in his skill
and fortunes, as well as constant humanity toward
the vanquished, and a frank dignity which won the
regard of the hostile people among whom he had to
command an invading army, somewhat incongru
ous in its elements and difficult to be controlled.
In November, 1847. Gen. Taylor rentrneit.to the
United States. He was received with the eon/trate
linking end rejoicings of the people wherever he
appeared. The year before he had been nominated
for the Presideecy. in Jane, 1848 he received the
nomination of the 'Whig Convettion at Philadel
phia and in NoVember was elected. receiving 162
electoral votes to 127 for Gen. Cass. He was in
augurated on March 5, 1849, and at his death had
discharged the ditties of President one year. fotir
months and four days. Had he lived, to the 24th of
next November he would have been sixty-six years
old.
The °alphas issisess.
The House of Representatives en Monday last,
adopted the resolutions of the Galrhin Investigate
ing Committee, condemning the original el liM as
an onjnst one, and explicitly declaring the payment
of the interest to haie been contrary to both law
and precedent and altogether beyond tne authority
of the Secretary of the Treasury. Though the
Secretary of War is not named in the resolutions,
they bear even more severely upon him than upon
Mr. Meredith. This is evinced by the futile at.
tempt made on Ssinolay by• Mr. Toombs to append
another resolution expressly exonerating Mr. Craw.
lord from blame, and by the *Minn of the House
in connection therewith. Mr. Toombe's motion
was by a large majority amended so as to condemn
4r. Crawford, though in moderit'e terms, arid then
by a party vote rejected, the Democrat preferring
to leave the original resolutions unchanged

During this struggle, a most bitter and exciting
