 By the following note from the editors of the New Orleans Pcayune received yesterday, we have intel l,gence, the authenticity of which there is no room to question, of the death of Gen. JACKSON:
 PIcAYUNE OFFICE,
 Sunday Morning, June, 10, lS4o
 |" General ANDREW JACKSON, ex President of the United States, died al ihe "Hermiiage on u'e morning of lhe Sth inst, al 6 ocloch. ne "as m possession of all his faculties, excepting speech, which failed him little before o'clock Ih's 'n- ielligence comes direct, and s undoubtedly correct
 "A public meeting is called al the St Louis Ex change for o'clock PM, al which snltanie arrange mpnts will be made commemorate the death oi the "OId heru," m this city"
 Thus passes away, in the ul'ness ol years and of hnnors. the great popular chieihn oi the age-the rst citizen and so dier Of the republic The record- ed honors winch will thicken round hs monument had begun to cluster upon his venerable head before the grave received his mortal remains. Death hay ing now set the seal of eternity upon his career henceforth he belongs 10 the memory of exciting and gluious past and years roll on, and history standy clear from the msts of personal and par ty pas'on, posIeriiy wlil rank him among the Ter splrits, who have impressed their ov~" s.va, views upon their time and generation, and fixed bold iand,naGs for the guidance of people in their pro- press 10 freedom and glory.
 yet the terrible struggles of inie rest and passions in which the great man the embo dimen' Of iiercey disputed popular principle, ~"s won for il d seres Of splendid uiumphs fer all hls merits 10 be universally nowledged or a calm judgment to be expressed for uudsputed acquesce upon the herosm of his civil career and the great ,C to tha oIcu of free government. These are, ss we have said for another age to pass upon-and surely as li- berty and union continue increase in the affections of the American people, will he be remembered with increasing seneralion as the noblest champion oi both.
 But of his military fame a successful General the winner of the glorious victor, of New. Orleans as d statesman who has occupied the highest sta tion in our country, with force of character whcl made himself renowned. and her respected all ovn the world, ,-as brave. hgh-hearted, patriotic Amer ican, whose greatness is part of the most precious national inheritance; there is even now, there ii scarcely difference of opinion among his country men, and few. however thrown in political conhic with him will withhold their voices from the gene ra national tribute of vene,ation for his memory and re grel for his death.
 We shall probably by this mornings mail iron New Orleans, receive such further and definite ac counts of this event, as will make public meeinI proper, to decide upon appropriate mode of tes tiiying the respect of the people of Mobile for t departed ex -President-the General who liter driv ing the foreign enemy from the soil of the Unite, States, wresled the soil of labama from the bosli, Indians and gave peace 10 the white settlers, anC who from his first entrance into civil life 10 its close invariably received the nearly unanimous support o the people of the State.
