THE LATE MIR. POLK.

In our last issue we briefly announced the
death of James K. Polk, late President of the
United States. Seized, about two weeks since,
by violent attack of disease to which, in
chronic form, he has been long subject, render
ed, doubtless, more malignant by the prevalence
of the epidemic in our midst, he fingered, alter
mating between life and DEATH until Friday, the
18th inst when, at eighteen mi nutes before s
O'Clock, P. M. he finally sunk to rest During
the continuance Of his illness, and up to very
few moments previous to his dissolution, he re-
tanned his consciousness. Aware of his critical
situation, and from an early period OF his sick
ness satisfied that his earthly career was draw
ing to close ne calmly prepared himself for the
crisis Early in his sickness Mr.. Polk had con-
nected himself with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, Church for which, as his friends and
acquaintance all know, he always felt prefer
ence.
He was buried on Saturday. the 10th. The
body was conveyed to the Methodist Church,
and a funeral sermon delivered by the Rev. ]. B.
MFeTrin. The speaker, in that portion of his
remarks personal to the deceased, gave a brief
sketch of his life and public career, passed high
and deserved eulogium on his moral character
and nhblemished integrity, and detailed in a
torcibEe and impressive manner, the particulars Of
his last illness and death-NashgiNs Union.
His reverence for the Christian religion was
marked, ana his Dellef III the fu1n Oh DIVINE he
violation strong and nHwaverng. He was reg
ular reader Of the Bible, and constant i'll his at
tendance on public worship: and during his last
sickness consummated a purpose he had enter
tanned for more than twenty years, that of uni
ting himself with the Church of God, and re-
ceiving the saeraments Of Baptism and the
Lords Supper.
Prior to his admission to the ordinances of the
Gospel, he protessed justifying faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and firmly, and with great hunili-
ty and meekness, threw himself on the mercy Of
God, relying alone for salvation On the great
doctrine OF the atonenent. He placed no reli-
anee upon morality OF his moral integrity as the
ground of his acceptance with God, but regarded
himself as sinner saved BY grace After he
united himself with the Church, and professed
saving faith i'll Christ, his confidence never fall
tered, but he firmly hoped 70 the end, and died
in great peace Nashville Christian Adroeate.

married woman, upon the body OF an elderly
widow, by the name Of Northern. The parties
met in a potato patch, when Mrs. Job drew q
knife and plunged it into the left breast OF Mrs
