yet in the moment of action, deciding
with rapidity. Ola noble nature, and
incapable of disguise, his thoughts lay
open to all around him and won their
confidence by his ingenious frankness.
His judgment was Of that solidity, that
he even tempered vigor with prudence.
The fashings of anger could never
cloud his faculties, but rather kindled
and lighted them up, quickening their
energy without disturbing their bal
lance. In war, his eye at glance dis
cerned his plans with unerring sagaci-
ty;in peace,he proposed measures with
instructive wisdom, of which the inspi-
ratons were prophecy. In discipline
stern, in a just resolution inhexible, he
was full of the gentlest affections, ever
ready to solace the distressed, and to
relieve the needy faithful to his friends,
fervi1 for his country. Indifferent to
other rewards, he aspired throug ghout
life to an honorable fame, and SO loved
his feIlow-men, that he longed to dwell
in their afectlonate remembrance
Heaven gave him length of days, and
he filled them with deeds Of greatness.
He was always happy; happy in his
youth, which shared the achievement
of our national independence; happy
in his after years, which beheld the
valley Of the West cover itself with
the glory OF free and ever increasing
States; happy in his age, which saw the
people multiplied from two 10 twenty
millions, and freedom and union make
their pathway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific; thrice happy in death, for while
he believed the liberties Of his country
imperishable, and was cheered by Wis
ions of its constant advancement, he
departed from this life in full hope of a
blessed immortality, through the mer-
its and atonement Of his Redeemer.
Officers Of the army, the navy, and
the marine corps, will wear Grape on
the left arm and on their swords; and
the colors of the several regiments will
be put in mourning. for the period Of
six months. At the naval stations,and
on public vessels in commission, the
flags will be WON at half-mast for one
week; and on the day after this order
is received twenty one minute guns
will be fired, beginning at 10 O'Clock.
At each military station, the day after
the reception Of this order, the national
flag will be displayed at hall.statf from
sunrise TO sunset; thirie zen guns will be
fired at day break; half hour guns du-
ring the day; and al the close of the
dav general salute. The troops will
be paraded at 10 o'clock, and this or
der read to them, on which The labors
of the day will cease.

retain their influence, and when ener-
gy and courage are call ed TO trial, en-
ulate his example.

BANKS---WATCHMEN OUTSIDE.

"Well since you're paid fort. watchman. mind
your post
And see no silver of the cash is lost;
But still. permit me to express some doubt
OF so much danger from the rogues without;
I'd think the money better far applied
II you were paid for watching rogues inside"
In reading the above, which we clip
from an article in the poets corner of
the Hartford Times, we are reminded
ola circumstance which occurred many
years since in a neighboring town IN
Ohio. The Bank of Muskingum, then
located at GAINESVILLE was robbed of
large amount of money, but by whom,
none save the guilty ones knew. The
Directors met to inquire into the affair,
and to take measures for the future
safety Of the funds. Among the expe-
dients adopted, was to build watch
house on the corner Of the street, near
the door of the bank, and to hire
watchman to guard the rags and coin
within. While building the watch
house, q shrewd old citizen-one who
eschewed vilainy of all kinds, and
banking in particuar--passed by, and
upon inquiry was told the object sought
to be accomplished by it. The old Cit
izen, turning TO banker who was near,
coolIy observed, ,thath he thought it would
have been better to have placed the
watchman and his house inside Of the
bank, "lor,' said he, 81 have always
found the greatest scoundlels there
In those days,as now, fnanciers ranked
as gentlemen, and Of course the upper
crust of GAINESVILLE was thrown almost
into Mysteries because the honesty of
gentleman bankers (2) had been doubt
ed. The watchman's box was finished,
and the watchman performed well his
duty for some months, when one NOR.
ming it was found that the bank had
again been robbed, and the gentleman
Cashier was among the missing. Of
course the watchman was then dischar-
ged, and the watch-house taken down.
Since then we have often reflected on
the truth of the saying Incorporated in
the verse which heads this article.

FUNERAL OF GEN. JACKSON.
NASHVILLE. June II, 1845.

NASHVILLE, June H., l845.
Gentlemen: Ialtended the funeral Of
Gen. Jack son, and took my last look
at the old man; every thing was as
simple as could be wished. There was
one thing that struck me very forci5Iy;
he has always been charged with be-
ing tyrannicaI, but if the evidence Of
his si0UcS is testimony to the contrary,
| am a witness that there was sorrow,
universal, among what | suppose must
have been some seventy or eighty
You would see them standing around
the Hermitage in groups of fifteen and
twenty, dressed in their Sunday dress
in silent grief, the tears rolling down
their dark face. The house servants
were Immediately around the foot Of
the coffin. Poor fellows! when the
Reverncd clergyman, (Mr. Edgar ad-
dressed himself TO them, as to the do
mestic character of their deceased IA
ther and friend, there was one gush of
grief-though siIen.-and ], as usual,
sent forth my shower.
The body was placed in coffin CO.
vered with black cloth, with a silver
plate in the form Of shield, apd SIM
ply the name "Andrew Jackson" upon
it.
The concourse was very large ;it was
impossible to make a correct estimate
as to numbers-the whole park, gald-
en-, and nooks and corners, were filled
with carriages, buggies, horses, &c. !
should suppose there was from 1900 to
1900 persons present. The funeral
was simple and plain according to his
request-the body, after the funeral SER
vice, was taken by old and venerable
looking men soldiers who served I'M
der him during the last war-to the Sc
pucbre, under the small Temple in
the garden, and deposited alongside Of
his wife, the crowd opening to the right
and left. w. d., Jr.

Of his blood was variable, ranging from
fifty to one hundred pulsations a min
ute-that the surface of his body was
constantly cold--that he had chronic
rheumatism in his back and extremities.
and that his appetite was poor and his
digestive functions much impaired. He
also stated that he was afflicted SUBJ
acute inflammation of the liver, attend
ed with pain in his side,which deprived
him to a considerable extent of sleep.
Under these circumstances, he was
very desrous OF exercise in the open
air. He did not complain much ofhls
fare, and said he had invariably been
permitted to Judge for himself as to his
ability to labor. ~. ,t
Relying, as | do, on the integrity of
his word, and having some acquaintance
with the nature of diseases, have no
hesitation in saying that ! consider him
in very in6rm state of health. |
therefore advise that IN connection
with his medical treatment he be here
after allowed the benefit of exercise at
frequent intervals in the open air.
! also recommend that the prisoner
in No. SO (whose mind appears to be
much impaired. and who complains Of
pain in his hcadD be indulged in SINH
lar manner And | furlhersuggest, for
your consideration, whether it may not
lie advisable to grant occasionally the
same privilege to every convict whose
department is uniformly proper and
praiscworthy.
1t gives me pleasure to say, in con-
clusion, that the cells, workshop and
other apartments Of the prison, appear
ed to be clean and comfortable, e,and that
the prisoners, so far as | observed,
were judiciousIy and proftably en-
ployed.
Very respectfully, your obi serv't.

Here then we have evidence that
cannot be denied, not on Y of the treat
ment of Gov. Dorr, but of the base
frauds which his enemies will perpe-
trate, to prevent his true situation
from being known TO the public. Gov.
Jackson is Il whig-,was opposed to the
efforts of Gov. Dorr to liberate his ma
tive State from the charter granted by
by an English King, and to substitute
in its stead, a written constitution con.
tanning privileges which would give
Rhode Island republican form of gov
ernmcnt, such as is guaranteed to the
people of every State in the Union by
the constitution of the United States.
Atthe same time we are proud to say,
that Gov. Jackson is an honest man, ,and
spurns the cruelty and fraud of his par
ty in their treatment of Gov Dorr.-
His evidence is not to be doubted. Ia
king it as true, ii stamps Rhode Island
wbiggery, as being compounded of the
viIcst and most maisnan;-the most
cruel and coward y of all the factions
that ever disgraced the country.

GENERAL ORDER.
WASHINGTON, June l6, 1845.

WASHINGToN, June l6, l345.
The President of the United States,
with heartfelt sorrow, announces to the
army, the navy, and the marine corps,
the death of Andrew Jackson. On the
evening of Sunday, the eighth day of
June, about six o'clock, he resigned his
spirit to his heavenly Father. The ma
ton, while it learns with griefthe death
of its most iIustrious citizen, finds So
lace in contemplating his venerable
character and services. The valley Of
the Mississippi beheld in hin the bra
vest, and wIsest. and most fortunate of
its defenders. The country raised him
to the highest trusts in military and in
civil life, with confidence that never
abated, and an affection that followed
him in undiminiShed vigor to retirement,
watched over his latest hours, and pays
its tribute at his grave. Wherever his
lot was cast, he appeared among those
around him, first in natural endowments
and resources, not less than first in au-
thority and station. The power Of his
mind impressed itself on the policy Of
his country, and still lives, and will live
forever, in the memory of its people.
Child Of forest region, and a settler Of
the wilderness, his was a genius which,
as it came to the guidance of affairs,
.instinctively attached itself to general
principles, and, inspired by the truth
which his own heart revealed to him
IN singleness and simplicity, he always
found response in the breast of his
countrymen. Crowned with glory in
war. in his whole career as statesman,
he showed himself the friend and lover
of peace. With an American heart,
whose throbs were all for republican
freedom and his native. land, he yet lon
ged to promote the widest intercourse
and the most intimate commerce, be-
tween the many nations of mankind
He was the servant OF humanity. Or
vehement will he was patient in coun-
Gil, ,deliberating long, hearing all things;
