decease of JAMES H. POLK OF Tennessee, late President
of the United States He died al his residence in Nash

diarrhea The melancholy intelligence reached us by
telegraph yesterday, at hapast o'clock p. Although
we had information by letters from Nashville of the low
and critical condition of the late ex. President we fondy
hoped that good constitution and able medical skill
would battle his disease, and again restore him to health
