MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-The body of Mr..
Ihos G. Brown, the clerk of the Montgomery,
was recovered yesterday evening opposite Girod
street. His watch, breast-pin, and key of the iron
chest were found on his person. Mr.. Brown was
extensively known in this city, having been fol-
many years clerk on one of the Mobile boats,
He was great favorite both here and in Mobile,
and his death has caused deep sensation in this
city. His death must have been purely accidental.
His body will be removed to Mobile TODAY at 10
O'Clock.

out and say that you have been called on broken

but marines.
Perhaps the Delta can tell why certain witness,
who had threatened TO implicate Mr. Clayton if
sent before the Grand Jury, did not make good his
words II we are correctly informed, he was in

point, and could not say word against the Secre-

important revelations to be published in the Delta,

here that Mr.. Clayton had encouraged the descent

even hastened the time Of departure. II any man

DEATH OF PRESIDENT TAYLOR.
"Lo. the angel Of Death on the Capitol stands.
With tear on his cheek and scroll in his hands

40 the angel of Death on the Capitol stands,
With tear on his cheek and scroll in his hands"
We announce with feelings of profound sorrow,
the death Of Gen. ZACHARY TAYLOR, the peoples
president, the patriot soldier and the homes. man,
Not amid the thunders of his native eement-the
smoke OF battle and the crash of arms-but in the
calm retirement Of his chamber in the White House
the noble old man brealhed his last. On the night
of the 9th inst, at ten O'clock the brave spirit that
had never before surrendered, was yielded without
o murmur to his last foe and only conqueror. Call
ed by the voice of his countrymen, he came from
the tented Geld to the executive mansion and the
presidential chair; summoned by the voice OF God,
he has gone, we trust, to occupy "some throne in
yon palace of Nature, above" Thus is Columbia
called upon again to weep over the grave of one of
her noblest and most distinguished sons. It has
pleased Providence, in his wisdom, to call him hence
q. a critical juncture Just now, when black clouds
hover above and angry pillows rage below, threat
enng destruction to the ship of state, the veteran pi
lot has been swept away. Blu! In the mids! Of wrath
mercy has been remembered !; and this time our ma
tional destinies have been committed 10 no alterng
or unsteady hand. To WILLARD FILLMORE we car
safely snrust the interests of the country in the pres
ent stormy crisis
The brief period of Gen. TAYLoR's administration
has been marked by sound sense, pure patriotism
q lofty regard to the constitution Perhaps few Of
our public men could say, as did the dying patriot
with his latest breath, 81 have endeayored faithfully
10 discharge my DUTY am ready TO meet DEATH
Firm, fearless and honest in everything, few such
have liyed-few such have died-as this gallant old
hero of hundre battles. But Ills done Struck
like slar, from the galaxy where he blazed in the
honors both of peace and war, he has gone hence
and is no more, leaving behind him name identf
ed with The brghtes! passages in the history Of his
county and fame brilliant the glory Of her arms

L. WApDELL, Ja, who has been connected with
this Office since ii came into our possesson,wi here
after be associated with US in the editorial depart
msnt of the paper and the management of its bust
ness concerns. 1t will be seen that the Senior Ed
itor has been appointed Principal of the "Stauntor
Academy" This, however, will not disturb his con
nsetion with the paper. His inducements TO accep
the place will be found in unanimous tender or
the part Of the Board of Trustees, and disposition
on his part TO fill up uselully and probably unocu
pied time. A weekly newspaper, all must know
cannot require the active attention of three persons
While, therefore, no Academical duty will be neg
lected by connection with the paper in view Of
present arrangements, tender regard TO the latter in
terest will dictate the propriety of such assistance
as may be deemed necessary.
