FUNERAL OF GEN. JACKSON.

OF GEN.J
The following Interesting account Of the last esremonie.
over the tomb ofGsn. Jackson b from tho letter Of . gem
tieman in Nashville addressed to another in ,hi. CITY:
"NAsHvLLr, June 10, lsl5.
NJ pKAR srns I have just returned from the Hermitage
where 1 attended the funeral VI General Jackson. IL wa,
estimated fairly, I think, that from 2,5UO 70 5000 person,
were present. There were rising two hundred carriage,
IN attendance, To say nothing Of the honcs which, % fssten-
ed TO the boughs Of the trees in front Of the Hermitage
yard, literally filled the woods. A til O'Clock. q. m. Rev
Mr.. Edssrtook position In tho porch, front OF tho front par
ior, and pronounced . most appropriate payer-hsppiy a.
loding 10 this great and distinguished man Of out nation
who had lived Us q Patiot aud Christian and invoki NJ the
blessing Of Heaven TO sustain and comfort the bsreaved.-
a psalm was sung next, commencing
"Why should We start and fear TO die1
what umorous worms we moftals arc,' &c. &c.
"Mr. Edsar's sermon was the beet that I ever heard fell
from his lips. He enceavoured to co full Justice to The
high public and private character Of Gen. Jackson; and be
camo much nearer 10 the accomplishment Of his object than
l had expected he could. His tsxt ives from q passage in
the Revelations; These are they which came out of sre.t
tibalsuon, and washed their robes white IN tho blood Of
me Lamb The sermon was nearly NJ hour in length. A
hymn was then sung. another prayer offered, and then
the body was removed from the front parior, where il
had remained during service to the hearse. and borne
down, outside Of the garden, q Ear as the burial place.
where the fence had been removed that II might be
brought through to the grave. There was some
little difficulty in lowering the body into the vault. in
consequence OF the too large dimensions Of the box which
contained the coffin; but this was soon overcome, and then
Mr.. Edgar made . series OF well chosen remarks, admirs-
bly, suited to tho place and occasion. The entire service
closed by afsvorite psalm OF the Generals, which Mr.. Ed.
gar said was often spoken Of BY him when living.
II have never witnessed a funeral occasion Of half the
sosemnity. Every man, woman, aud child seemed to be
conscious that mankind had lost one Of their greatest and
best benefactors.
ut was his request as | learn, that little or no pomp or
parade should be observed Ut his burial nevertheless, the
Nashville Blues were present in uniform, and were per
miited to hire three or four times over the grave.

A PARODY.

n
a life on The ocean wave
4 home on the rolling deep.
"Fried ratlines" three times a day,
And a leaky old berth for sleep,
Where tho gray beard cockroach roams,
On kindly thoughts intent;
And the raving bed-bug comes
The way that the eockroseh rent!
a life on the ocean wave
A home on the rolling deep!
Where Jack can deyour 'salt Junk"
And the daintes the shippers can keep.
Wet jackets night aud day,
A visit from heas at night
The hundred and ninetioth day
a gale-and the breakers in sight

G-The "Union" seems horribly afraid Of di.
visions between North and South in the ranks Of
the sanity "DemocracyI Il protests over and
over, and over again, that the President will know
no clique, no division, and will distribute with an
impartial hand, the spoils among the friends ofMr.
Wright and Mr.. Calhoun A number of Calhoun
Democrats have received office, and none, we
suppose, have been prescribed
In the last No. of the Union, we find this
threadbare protestation renewed, and in a man.
ner amusing for its vanity, il il fail to convince the
Calhounites against the evidence of stubborn facts
and daily experience.
The Union says:
mo man can be more determined to show equal and
exact justice TO all the republicans-North and South, East
and West-to favor no clique or division, (call il by what.
ever name you plesse,) AZ the expense OF another, than
the President himself. We speak advisedly, firmly, and
sincerely. We say the same OF ourselves. We will re-
cognise no disiinctions-none Of the feelings Of the past
none of the aspirations OF the future-no views towards
the succession-no fayoritsm or opposition to any one
man, or any one mans friends. Everything that we see
satisfies us the more and more Of the justice and propriety
OF our position. We see the wings attempting to play up
on the jealousies Of all. &C."
So Mr.. Richie and Mr.. Polk are determined
to look through the same spcctacles, and each to
be just and impartial to "all the Republicans"
Hum.
Mr.. Richie is extremely wise to stifc, If posi-.
Bile, all premature cliques and divisions. They
are Pernicious in the ranks of a party at all times,
but they might prove particularly premature and
disastrous occurring previous to the election of
