WAR DEPARTMEHT,
Washington, April >, 1871.
It's with feelings of the deepest sorrow, that
the Secretary of War announces to the Army,
the death Of the President of the United States
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON is no more. His long
and faithful services in many subordinate, but I'M
portant stations, his recent elevation to the high
est in honor and power, and the brief term alIo'-
ed to him in the enjoyment of it,are circumstances
of themselves, which must awaken the llveliest
sympathy in every bosom but these are only
personal considerations The dspensat'on IS
heaviest and most affecting on public grounds
This great calamity has befalen the country at
period of general anxiety for its preseht,and some
apprehension to its future condlton-at TINE
when it is most desirable that all It's hlgh Offices
should be filed and all its high trusts administer
ed in harmony, wisdom and ygor The generoS-
ity of character of the deceased, the conspicuous
honesty of his principles and purposes, together
with the skill and irmness with which he main
tanned them in all situations, had won Tor INN the
affection and confidence of his countrymen; bat
at the moment when, by their voice, he was raa-
ed toa station, in the discharge OF the powers and
duties of which, the most benctcent results might
Justly have been anticipated from his great eNPe-
rience, his sound Judgment, the high estimation
in which he was held by the people, and his I'M
questioned devotion to the Constitution and I'm
ion, it has pleased an al-wse, but mysterious
Providence to remove him suddenly from that
and every other earthly employment.
While the officers and soldiers Of the Army will
share in the general grief which these consdcra-
tons SO naturally and irresistby inspire, they
will doubtless be penetrated with increased SENSE
biiity, and feel deeper concern IN testtyinT, IN
the manner appropriate to them, the tnll measure
of nations gratitude for the eminent services of
the departed patriot, and in rendering just and ad-
equate honors to his memory, because he was
hnselfa soldier and an approved one; receiving
his earliest lessons in a camp, and, when in ripper
years called to the command of armies, illustrating
the profession Of arms by his personal qualities,
and contributing largely by his successes, to the
stock Of his country's glory.
1t is to be regretted that the suddenness Of the
emergency has made it necessary to announce
this sad event in the absence of the Wee Presi-
dent from the seat of Governments but the great
est confidence is felt that he will cordially APP
prove the sentiments expressed, and that he will,
in due time give directions for such further marks
of respect, not prescribed by the existing regula-
tons Of the army, as may be demanded by the oc
casion. JNO. BELL.

He DIED A CARIsTIAN.-The National In

at is known that, for many years past, Cen
eral Harrison had become daily more and more
impressed with religious feelings always treating
serious things seriously, and showing himself
mindful of his future accountability. member
of his family has stated that, for many months
past he has never omitted the reading of the
Scriptures every night before retiring to rest,
however harrassed by company, or worn down
by fatgue.-On Monday, the third day of his
