Mr. Webster--Marshfeld

The Boston Courier of the Goth instant,
contains the following in relation to Marsh
field, and its distinguished proprietor:
The farm" at Marshfeld is worthy to be
the resting place of its illustrious owner. 1t
is shielded by a range of beautiful hills, from
the violence of our northeasterly storms; it
has distant view of the ocean beyond the
lowlands, which every high tide overfows.
On one side wooded promontory juts into
the sea and on the other rises sloping high
land, on the brow of which in the deep re-
pose of nature, his kindred rest in their long
sleep, with no sounds above or around them
but the murmurs of the wind through the
foliage of the dropping trees, or the song OF
birds, or the solemn voice of the sea speak
ing eternally from its vast depths The un-
dulating surface sweeps up from the marshes,
and forms a table land on which the house
stands, then gently falls into smooth and
spreading lawn; then, by deeper slope, il
ascends to the western range of hills, which
on that side, shut in the picture and bound a
scene of harmonious, yet richly varied and
Esweetly contrasted beauty.
As you look down from these hills, youI
heart beats with the unspeakable emotion that
such objects inspire; but the charm is height.
ened by the reflection that the capabilities OF
nature have been unfolded BY the skill and
taste of one whose fame fills the world; that
an illustrious existence has here blended its
activity with the processes of the genial
earth, and breathed its power into the breath
of heaven, and drawn it's inspiration from
the air, the sea, and the sky, and around and
above, and that here, at this moment. the
same illustrious existence is, for time, strug

whom all men must sooner or later lay dowr

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
MOndan MOlnin1. Oct. 25. 1859

GENTLEMEN The painful intelligence
received yesterday enforees upon me the sad
duty of announcing to the Executive De-
partments the death of the Secretary of
State Daniel Webster died at Marshfeld,
in Massachusetts, on Sunday, the oath of
October, between two and three o'clock in the
morning.
Whilst this irreparable loss brings its nat
ural sorrow to every American heart, and will
be heard far beyond our borders with mourn
full respect, wherever civilization has nurtur-
ed men who find in transcendent intellect and
faithful patriotic service theme for praise,
it will visit with still more poignant emotion
his colleagues in the Administration, with
whom his relations have been so intimate
and so cordial.
The fame of our illustrious statesman be-
longs to his country-the admiration of it to
the world. The record of his wisdom will
inform future generations, and less than It's
utterance has enlightened the present He
has bequeathed toposterity the richest fruits
of the experience and Judgment of great
mind conversant with the greatest national
concerns. In these his memory will endure
as long as our country shall continue to be
the home and guardian of freemen.
The people will share with the Executive
Departments in the common grief which be-
walls his departure from amongst US.
In the expression of individual regret at
this affecting event, the Executive Depart
ments of the Government will be careful to
manifest every observance of honor which
custom has established as appropriate to the
memory of one so eminent as pubic func-
tionary, and so distinguished as citizen.
The Acting Secretary of State viii com
municate this sad intelligence to the Diplo-
matte Corps near this Government and
through our Ministers abroad to foreigl gov
ernments.
The membersof the Cabinet are requeted,
as a further testimony of respect for th9de-
ceased, to wear the usual badges of MORN
ing for thirty days.

Having anchored between the north and
middle islands, at the latter of which we
are to load we will borrow the boat and have
a closer look at the huge muck heap. Pull

their mode of darting down or STOPPING on

planted far back, and his long body, do not
fit him for a walk ashore; but he will sit for
hours on little rock just washed by the
waves, apparently in such deep absence OF
mind that passers-by are tempted to ap-
proach in the hope of catching him. just
as the boat nears him, and hand is already
stretched out to grasp his neck, away he
goes, head over heels, in a most irreverent
and ridiculous manner, dives under the boat
and shows his head again about quarter OF

him who can, for he is the fastest swimmer

have ragged so fercely around him will be
drowned in the tears Of anation' grief; and
he who has so far forgotten the claims of pa

THE RESULT.

News from the election held last Tuesday
for President and Vice President of the Uni
ted States is coming in upon US from al
quarters, significant of an overwhelming tri
umph for Pierce and King. No returns Of
importance have been received from thi:
State; but from the vote of this county
which we give in another column, little
doubt is entertained that Pierce's majority
in Mississippi will exceed Folks, which ap
preached 1000; Pierce having glined 4C
votes upon Folks majority in Lowndes.-
The vote polled in the State will be unusual
ly small, as will no doubt be the case in 9th
er Southern States, owing to the detection
of the Wing party and consequent apathy
of the Democrats.
Through the politeness of our neighbor
of the Aryus whose copious dispatches have
been kindly handed us, as well as from 9TH
er telegraphic reports received, we are ena-
bled to give the following results in different
States.
MAINE.-This State has gone for Pierce
by at least II, 900 votes.
NEW HAMPSHIRE, for Pierce by
$4,000.
CONNECTICUT for Pierce by 5000.
DELAWARE for Pierce by small ma
jority. y
NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA and
INDIANA have undoubtedly gone for
Pierce by large majorihes.
OHIO.-From the returns received has
gone for Pierce by decisive vote.
MARYLAND, has gone for Pierce by
5000.
RHODE ISLAND according to returns
from every county has gone for Pierce by
100 majority.
NEW JERSEY.-In the only two coun
ties heard from in this State Pierce gains OF
Taylor's vote 2311. 1t has no doubt gone
for Pierce by decisive vote
KENTUCKY.-The vote in this State i.
close, and both parties in Louisville claim
| it.
TENNESSEE as far as heard from doubt
| full.
VERMONT and MASSACHUSETTS
have gone for Scott.
Such is general view of the news receiv
ed here, which whether more or less inaccu
rate, leaves no doubt of the triumphant c
lection of Pierce. In recording it, we TAX
peculiar pleasure in quoting the noble sen
timent expressed by him upon the recen
State victories of the democracy. I'll
hour Of triumph is the hour Of naognanin,

example by the studious avoidance of ever,
thing calculated to offend the pride Or woun'
the feelings of any opponent.
