Juty lUth, 1870.
II has become the painful duty of the Secretary
of War to announce to the Army the death of ano
Their distinguished and yenerated citizen. JOHN
ADAMS departed this life on he 4th Of this month
Like his compatriot JEFFERSON he aided in draw
ing and ably supporting the Declaration of indie
pendence. With prophetic eye, he looked
through the impending difficulties of the Revolu
tion, and foretold with what demonstrations Of Joy
the Anniversary of the birth day Of American free
dom would be hailed. He was permitted to behold
he verfcation of his prophesy, and died, as did
JEFFERSON, on the day Of The Jubilee.
A coincidence of circumstances so wonderful,
gives confidence TO the belief that the patriotic eff
forts ofthese illustiious Heaven directed
and furnishes new seal to the hope, that the pros
perty of these States is under the special protection
Of kind Providence.
The Secretary of War directs that the same fu-
neral honors be paid by the Army to the memory
Of the deceased by the order of the 9Th instant
we're directed to be paid to THOMAS JEFFERSON,
and the anne token oil mourning be worn.
Major GENERAL Brown is charged with the
execution of this order.

ELEGIAC ODE TO T. JEFFERSON.


Air-RorssEAu's DREAM.
Brightest Chief of swordless story,
Bazon'd on the scroll Of Fame.
Father of a nations glory!
Art thou living but in name'
TO his harp in muffied sweetness,
Ev'ry minstrel raise the note,
Let one dirge to brcathless greatness,
Waited DER Columbia, float.
Freedoms home be hung in willow.
Smother'd ev'ry sound of mirth -
Lo! hE sleeps-without pillow,
And his cuuch--is in the earth.
Never come the heartless morrow,
Thou, of patriot-sages, first
When, for tears of grateful sorrow
Thy unflower'd grave shall thirst.
Still, there's pleasure midst the Sadness.
Noble spirit thou art gonel
But, thro' such track of gladness,
Never soul to Heay'n has flown.
Just when ev'ry tongue was praising
Thy great work of Liberty;
Just when ev'ry tongue was raising
Songs of gratitude to thee;
Angels, in angelic kindness,
Charm'd thine honor'd soul away
Thus, unseen to human blindness,
As it wing'd to Endless Day
EY'ry burst OF grateful feeling
Struck thy fondly list'ning ear,
Unpercev'd andsunrcveaiing
Thou couldst seeand thou couldst hear.

men and children, have all perished in the
attack of the outnumberng and blood
thirsty enemy, or in the general slaughter
which followed the savage triumph Of the
Turks. The friends of humanity freedom
and religion, (says the Liverpool Mercury
when they pcruse the following narrative,
cannot fail to be impressed with strong G.
motions of sorrow for the fate of the hero
ic men who have thus died in defence of
all that is most valuable to civilized man
and with feelings of Indignation will they
reflect that the Christian nations Of Europe
stand by while this havoc is going ON, and
offer no friendly aid to the oppressed.
FALL OF MIssoLoNGHI. The heroic de-
tenders of Missolonghi have ceased to live
Reduced to 7,40O men, who were reduced
to four ounces OF biscuit, they saw, till the
18th OF February, the storm gathering
which was to swallow them up: the Egyp-
tians, directed by Europeans, among whom
there were unhappily some Frenchmen,
having at that time completed the pom
toons, by means Of which they were to
cross the shadows TO attack Missolonghi
on the side of Mavri Aliki, ut which point
there were no fortifcations, because the
lagoon defended the town On that side.
On the 18th the enemy examined the
ground, and the Turkish fleet having re-
appeared at Procopanistos, at the entrance
OF the Gulf OF MisSolonghi, there was eve-
/ ry reason TO expect an attempt to storm.
From that day every individual prepared
himself for death, and from the 18th to the
2lst of February all the Christians cele-
brated their obsequies. The Bishop Jo-

and the service for the dead having been
recited, every one repaired to his post.
