Gov. SEWARD ON GEN. TAYLoR.-In his

luded asfollows to the Wing candidate for the
Presidency
"1-shall vote for the candidate Of the Wing
Convention, snch candidate as was presented
10 the people of the United States in General
Harrison; he was called an available candidate,
and such available candidates will ever receive
my support. General Taylor, like General Har-
rison, is in all respects worthy candidate for
Wing suffrages. He is patriotic, an honest

to see, and at no very distant period, all bloody
combats done away with, all wars brought to a
close. But in the present condition Of the world
the mass Of the American people think different

honor the soldier as i honor the civilian, nor can
doubt that he is equally commended to favor
on high, as well as to the favor Of his fellow
men.
have no objections then TO General Taylor
and what objection can any of you have Some
tell us that he avows himself Whig but not an
ultra Wing; but who would wish to sec an ultra
Wing elected President? Recall the ulta opin.
lens Of your Wing friends, and then tell me i
you do not prefer DEoIDED Wing to an ultra
Whig (Cries Of aye, aye, with loud cheering. }
Yes, gentlemen, IL we desire to have Wing
administration, with its wholesome results, we
must take such Wing as we can triamphanty
elect, in preference to the candidate of the OPP
position. We are bound to give the candidate
OF the Wing party generous support, If we de
sire the ultimate security Of our party, and the
successful operation Of its principles" (Cheers.)

Death Of Jesse Oakley, ESQ.

jesse Oakley, Esq, Clerk of the Superior
Court, committed suicide about l O'Clock Sat
urday forenoon by shooting himself with pistol
in the City Hall. A report was heard BY Mr.
Taylor, the keeper, proceeding from the water
closet He pushed open the door little way
and observed blood he then called for help, and
the door being forced short distance, the IN.
happy deceased was observed in a sitting pos.
ture in the corner against it, large hole being
observable in the right side Of the head. 1t was
necessary, in consequence, to get into the water
closet, which is in the second story, from the
window. Mr. Oakley was speaking, but few
moments before, nationally in his office. It APP
pears, however, that for short time past he has
exhibited symptoms of mental arrangement, and
to this cause is TO be attributed the awful terni-
nation Of his existence.
On ascertaining who Ii was, his brother Chief
Justice Oakley was sent for, and repaired to the
spot, but was overwhelmed by the dreadful
scene and had to be carried away. For MIN
ute or two before taking down the key of the
closet, he walked back and forth in bis office
The distance from that to the closet is only about
IS feet. lie was met and spoken to by gen.
tleman, and on shutting the door must have i'm
mcdiately committed tho fatal decd. Mr. Oakley
was about IS years of age, but had, we believe,
no family. He was in the enjoyment of salary,
we learn, of $4,000 yosr.
There were four distinct marks OF pistol balls
through the glass of the window, showing that
the pistol must have been heavily charged.

"While in Baton Rouge / wns introduced to

and agreeable. Mrs Taylor is a plain, agreeable
lady, but apparently Of rather delicate heath
She is quite ayerse to going to the white

pretty, interesting young lady. I'VE saw the
curiosities Of the place-among other things, a
number Of cannon just returned from Mexico-
also the old coat In which Gen. Taylor was shot
saw the bullet holes; he said he had slept
many nights in il also his Mexican hat. a
white one with brim at least half yard wide.
This he wears constantly, and il is good pro-
lection against the sun and rain. We also saw
a splendid sword which he had just received
from Kentucky. Twas quite pleased with my

WONDERFUL AcCIDEST.-ln the afternoon
Of Wednesday, 9Th instant foreman named
Phineas p. Gage employed on the Railroad just
below Duttonsyille in Cayeudsh, was tamping
down a charge, preparatory to blasting, with
bar Of round iron, inches inches in diameter.
and #. in. long. The bar tapered so that
at the end It was but I Of an inch across The
charge in the hole exploded, and the bar enter
ed the mans face just anterior TO the angle Of
the lower jaw, passed up outside the teeth Of The
upper jaw, entered the bone Of the cheek on its
under surface, without, however, destroying the
shape of the face, and passed out just behind
where the frontal and two parietal bones meet,
that is, near the top Of the head. The bar went
about five rods, and stuck in the road. The
skull was fractured in every direction around
the opening made by the bar. After the aeci-
dent, the man walked some two or three rods to
a cart, and rode TO Mr. Adams tavern in Dut-
louisville, when he got out of the cart and went
into the house, The physicians who visited him
found him sitting in chair, perfectly rational,
and he told them the particulars Of the accident.
His wounds were dressed, with, however, no
hopes Of success. When the surgeon left him
that night, be was still rational, although some
what faint from the loss of blood, which he swal-
lowed and vomited. The bleeding ceased about
IL o'clock, and then he was quiet almost the
whole remainder Of the night
Four days after the accident, Mr. Gage was
alive and apparently better-though il seems i'm
possible that he should survive

ATRocIous vILLAISY.-A discharged SOL
der, from the army in Mexico, named David
Graft, who arrived at Newburgh, n. Y, on the
l4th inst, was inveigled by comrade named
Nicholas John, to retired spot, stabbed and
mutilated, robbed of over 500 in gold, and
thrown over wall into the river. Early next
morning he came to, crawled from his position
and being able to describe his assassin, the latter
was soon arrested when about to take passage on
n steamboat-N Y. Globe.
This airocious villain" was only praeticing
on small scale, what he had been drilled to do
on a large scale. The soldiers trade is one oil
constant bloodshed and pillage.
