IRON THE NASHVILLE vSioE-
DEATH AND BURIAL OF GENERAL
ANDREW JACKSON.

ANDREW JAChoUN.
For some months past il has been be-
coming daily more and more certain that
the earthly career OF Gen. Jackson, was
rapidly drawing 10 close. Several times
Of late he was snasched from the very jaws
Of death BY The timely and skillful appli-
cation Of medicinal remedies, and few
more days added 10 bis cyentful life. On
Sunday morning last, however, il became
apparent that the skill Of the physician was
exhausted, and that the demands Of the
grim monster could no longer be resisted.
The progress Of his disease was such that
life could no longer be sustained. This
fact was known to the suffering old hero
early on Sunday, and he freely commune
Gated 10 bis friends his consciousness that
his time had come. During the day his
mind was occupied with his "future state"
his conversation had constant reference
10 his approaching dissolution, but at no
time did he express the slightest appre-
henson as 10 his entire preparation for
the awful change, or the least fear at APP
pearing in the presence of his Great
Judge. We have heard many interesting
details of his last days conversation,
which we intend to present hereafter in
authentic shape. At this time we must be
content to state, that after discovering that
he could last but few hours, he sum-
moned around him his faithful domes-
tics, and in strain of pious eloquence
exhorted them to fidelity in all their
duties, impressing upon them the all
important subject n Christianity; and up
on taking an afiectionale leave OF them,
he expressed the sincere hope that he
might meet them all in Heaven.
His conversation with his beloved fami-
Iy was characterized by the deepest soil.
citude for their attention TO religion. He
retained his intellect in full vigor down to
the very time Of his dissolution. His boz
Oily pain was great, but il seemed 10 have
no effect upon the clearness or vigor Of
his mental operations. His dying hour
was cheered with the bright assurance
within him, that in few short moments
he would be united in Heaven with his
beloved wife, who had gone before him.
Amongst the last things he said, was, that
his suferings, though great, were nothing
in comparison with those of his dying
Saviour, through whose death and suffering
he looked for everlasting happiness. In
this temper of mind he quietly and calmly
brealhed his last at O'clock, P. NJ, on
