GEN. DONALD McLEop.--A correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says
This distinguished veteran, who took an active
Ipart IN the late Canadian rebellion, and who has
an exile in this country since 1887 has received
gan unconditional pardon from Sir Charles Metcae,
governor OF Canada, and is on his way To reporl
himself TO the Canadian authorities at Montreal
Gen. Mcleod was one of the patriot leaders ex
7cluded from the benefits of the general amnes,v
granted by Lord Durham in 1889. During the re-
bellion rewards were offered for his person by the
canadian authorities, to the amount of ten Thousand
dollars, besides reward of FIVE hundred dollars.
3ofered by Gov. Marcy of this State, for his appre.
2heDsion for violation of neutrality laws After
the burning of the Robert Peel, he was pursued on
this side from end of the frontier to the other,
land, after many hair-breadth escapes wos arrested
near Detroit, tried, and acquitted.
Gen. Mcleod was informed some two years ago.
(by the Canadian authorities that he would be allow
LED 10 return on his asking permission to do So This
3offer was rejected with disdain
During his exile, the General has published a
History Of the Canadian rebellion, in which he has
1given brefand spirited view of the causes which led
Ito it, the unfortunate events which caused its failure
land the sacrifices, loss oflfe, and mseries endured
5by the people Of Canada during its progress. A
considerable portion of his time has been spept in
visiting the West, and preparing n work on the his
tory, geology topography, and natural resources of
Wisconsin, which is now ready for the press, and
| will be published in a few months.
The pardon of Gen. Mcleod, unsolicited as it has
been, will give universal satisfaction to the REFORM
ers of Canada, and will undoubtedly add much TO
the popularity Of Sir Charles Metcalfe. The par
don will also be gratifying to the Generals hume
rous friends throughout the length and breadth Of
This frontier.
The General will now return and obtain posses.
son of his extensive property after having suffered
much poverty and hardship during his exile.

DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON.

The western mail Of Yesterday brought i'm the in
|telligence Of the death of General Jackson. The
Ievent had been long expectedill health, produced
by the vicsstudes of active life rather than by
The decay of mature old age, had left but little hope
that the summer would have been surmounted but
Expected il wasprepared for it, has been the
mind of the country, it has struck home deeply and
in the hearts of the people. That the bell
Iwould at last toll and that the fatal moment was
steadily and surely approaching, was fetby all; but
there is not one, among either political friends or
political foes, whose feelings have not been subdued
by its tidings. The sound will go out throughout
the land; and wherever it is heardln the field in
The markedly the banks of the river or by the
walls of the city-one voice will be heard, and that
Ia voice of sorrow. A great man has gone to his
Irest-a man who for years exercised a power over
his countrymen almost unbounded--a man who as
Ia warrior equalled by but few OF his generation
land who as statesman surpassed by none.
For our part, struck TO the ground are by the
knowledge that to us Immediately, the loss has been
that of friend and cbieftain to whom the attach
ment Of years has bound by the dearest and clo-
sest ties, cannot but allow feelings for mo-
|ment TO be merged in the undivided grief Of the
whole community.
Gen. Jackson in fact has been for years the great
|lcader and embodiment Of American feeling and
American sentiment There have been other men
more distinguished for eoquence-for 10 that he did
mot pretend; there have been others who, through
the pen or through the tongue, dealt more closely
with social feeling; but there has been no one whose
finger has been more strongly felt in moulding the
institutions and settling the character the country.
|Gen. Jacksons career political leader has been
lone Of success almost uninterrupted. For eight
years. when President, he contended against an OPP
position the most powerful and determined that the
history Of parties has known; and he commended with
|lt singe-handed. For long period Of that time he
|had arrayed against him the most energetic Of all
social clements mammoth moneyed interest, Grip
|pled, but not crushed; wounded, but not weakened
and yet, destitute he of any artificial ALLAN
solely on his own strong arm, and the
good sense of the people, the expiration Of his term
of service witnessed the destruction Of the last and
the humiliation Of the former. Eight years more
passed by, when his voice. never so powerful as in
It's last notes, decided what perhaps is the greatest
Question that America has known since the declara-
|non Of Independence. That such man must have

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

The New York Tribune Of Saturday publishes a
letter from Monroe, (Michigan,) giving minute de
tails of the strange occurrence in that vicinity which
has been mentioned in our columns. IL is one of
the most singular narratives We ever read:
"Thc pcrpetrator of this murderous assault is
George Wells son of Rev. N. M. Wells, formerly
pastor Of the church in Detroit. He seems to have
been alienated, in some measure, from his father
and brothers-one of the latter being worthy,
pious man Of this place, hardware dealer; and IN
his shop George has worked a tinman during the
winter. He was a boardcr with Mr. Hall at the
Exchange, and apparently on the best terms, being
regarded az pleasant, rather visionary, and nef-
lent young man. He has, for some time, been tall
ing Mr. Hall that he wished to go into the fishing
business on Lake Superior, and showed him a let.

been man of extraordinary power, that he will in
future be enrolled among the great leaders Of the
human race, there can be but few who doubt
General Jackson was a man whose genius was
mot badly illustrated by the great natural features OF
his native land. With mind most bold IN design
land most fertile in expedents he united determin-
ation which neither cold friendship nor Jealous
Unity could daunt. With how great sagacity he
Twas endowed, is shown by the fact that in no one
instance did he throw himself upon the people for
land earnestly afforded There was, it is true, gall
liant earneslness in his bearing, which changed par
tsanship into friendship, and friendship into devo-
luon; but ii would be doing great injustice to his
memory to maintain that il was by that electric sym
spathy which is impaired by great and daring mind
to those around il alone that he maintained
Iderful sway over his countrymen. he was man
lwho had drunk deeply of the waters of practical
wisdom he understood right well the character Of
his fellow-man, and perhaps more thoroughly than
|any one else that of the great people with whom
his tent was pitched and during the whole course Of
his long and active life there can scarcely be found
instance in which he miscalcuated his aim. But
when, passing over his intellectual, we dwell on his
moral powers, we cannot but feel the more deeply
THE loss that has befallen the country. No one
doubted his patrotism-none ever questioned his
|purity and rare it is that practical wisdom so deep
has been united to moral energy so unsullied. Let
the nation, then, gather round his remains as those
Iof one whose heart was devoted to his country and
whose last thoughts were turned to its welfare.
For ourselves, we feel that it is well enough for
Jus to pause about the bed of dying man, who, to
the courage of the warrior, united the wisdom of
the statesman and the pety of the Christian. We
cannot forget that, during the goomiest period of his
administration, it was our ancient commonwealth
that his own great leaned for support; and we
cannot therefore refrain from bowling heads to
THE dust with the corsclousness that chieain has
been taken from gallant and as true ever il
fell to the lot of man to follow. But such feelings
Jean well be absorbed in grief more catholic and
natural. The day has come when the greatness of
ibis genius and the power Of his character feltand
confessed by all; and whatever may have been the
differences Of opinion that party strife engendered,
Tor personal rivalry produced, the people will now
without distinction of party sect, unite in the con-
fession that great man and patriot has been
taken from their midst. He has descended to the
grave "full of years ard full of honors, the bitter
ness of political hostility will soon pass away; and |
i'm the language of Jefferson, after-ages win truly
SAY of him, "He has filed the measure of his coun-
|try's glory"

THE DEMISE OF GENERAL JACKSON.

The summons has at length reached the Hermit
age and called TO the skies one who has long been
looking towards his heavenly home; he had his
lamp trimmed and his light burning ready for his
journey through the valley of the shadow of death
This messenger, terror to many, had no errors for
him; his latter days devoted most sincerely to
his spiritual concerns, believing that the tree is to be
Judged by its fruits.
His peaceful and Christian transit from this world
to world Of spirits, and his firm belief in our holy
religion, give sweet consolation to his departure.
General Jackson was one of the most extraordi-
nary men of our day; he stood next to our beloved
Washington in the affections of the people, and like
Washington, died Christian. We admire him as
a soldier, patriot and statesman but we are free to
confess that we admire him more as Christian.
What glorious light he leaves behind him, in the
briancy and purity of his closing Christian career.
The nation should wear mourning robes for this
great In our republic we do not rear tall
monuments to perpetuate the great men we love,
but we cherish them in hearts core of affection
wherever we go.
The true spot Of repose for the memory of the
great of America will ever be found in the
heart of American citizens. We therefore cheer
fully commit the memory Of Andrew jackson to
those who admire General Washington; they both
belong to the bright jewels of the country.

GENERAL JACKSON is DEAD.

We received yesterday morning the subjoned
1sp from the Office of the Cincinnati Enquirer, an
unouncing the death of General Jackson. The death
1of this venerable patriot has been frequently an
bounced before in the newspapers, but this inte-
Igence comes through a channel which establishes
the fact beyond doubt. The news of his death
has been expected for some months past his case
Jhaving assumed character which forbade the hope
3of favorable issue.
Gen. Houston of Texas, the personal friend of
Jackson who came to the United States expressly
the general before his death, arrived at Nash
willie just in time to find that his friend had expired
The intelligence Of his death conveyed to Louis
willie by Col. Eldrdge who accompanied Gen
3Houstop and there can, therefore, be no doubt of
the fact.
There is no man in the nation whose death will
cause such general regret among the people. They
remember with gratitude his deep devotion to his
interest and bis eminent services in its
abehalf. Even in the bitterness Of partisan rancor
the merit conceded him, by all parties, of being
Ia true patriot as sincere and honest in his purposes
3as he was rigid and unyieldng in his will. His last
Thoughts were for his country, and its honor and
prosperity, IL is a matter of regret among his
friends that he did not live to the final consum
nation by both governments of the act of annexing
Texas 10 the United States for which he manifest
led SO deep an interest, knowing well its Importance
to the future peace and welfare Of the Union, and
Justly experimenting the interference and intrigue of
foreign governments that republic while separa
lied from the United States.
So eventful has been his life, and so public his
actions, that every one is Familiarity acquainted WITH
and has already formed judgment upon, them
Posterity will render justice 10 his character and ts
decision is already foreshadowed in the almost un-
|versal sentiment Of the nation.
Gen. Jackson bequeathed his papers to Mr.. Blair,
for the defence Of his reputation, he said in his
letter to Mr.. Blair apprizng him of the fact. That
defence is written upon every page of the history of
This country for the last thirty years. His memory
land his name be placed among the great and good.
He was born March 18th, 1857, and died June 9Th,
|lS45, in his 18th year.
