WASH I N GTON.
THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 81, 1858.
Death Of Mrs. EfIlmo,...

1t is our painful duty to announce the deatf
Eof Mrs. F1LLMoRE, the wife Of the late Pre-
sident, which occurred yesterday morning a
Willard's H.tel, in this city. ............s
The serious illness of Mrs. FILLMORE has
been known for some time past, but unit
within the last few days little apprehension
was felt in regard to the result She was at
tackled with bronchial Inflammation of the lungs
on the 9th instant, and this was followed by a
suffusion of water; producing complication
which baf1ed the skill of the eminent physi-
clans who had been called to her relief. Her
sufferings at various stages of the disease were
severe and protracted; but they were endured
with Christian patience and fortitude. She
retained consciousness until within brief pc
riod OF dissolution, and died calmly, AMI with
out apparent pain, in the presence of her family.
On learning the melancholy bereavement,
President PIERCE directed the postponement
of the meeting of the Cabinet, and the closing
of the various Executive Departments for the
day. He also addressed the following letter of
coincidence to Mr.. FILLMORE:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, March 3d. 1853.
MY DEAR Sir: Information has just reached
me OF the death of Mrs. FILLMORE. beg YOU to
accept the assurance of my earnest coincidence in
this great bereavement.
Yielding to my deep feelings of sympathy, and
In testimony of respect for the memory of the de.
ceased, have directed the meeting of the Cabinet
this day to be suspended, and the public offices to
be closed. :
am, with great consideration, your friend,
FRANKLIN PIERCE
Hon. WILLARD FILLMORE, Washington, D. C.
The Presidents Private Secretary, Mr.. SID
NEY WEBSTER, proceeded to the Capitol to
inform the members of the Senate, unofficially,
that In consequence of the event no further
communication would be addressed to them
during the day. Ere he arrived, however,
the Senate had adjourned, on motion by Mr..
SEWARD, as mark of respect to the memory
of the deceased. The sorrow and sympathy
thus manifested will, we are sure, be shared
by the whole country, not less because of the
varied excellencles of Mrs. F1LLMoRE's char
acter as wife, mother, and friend, than because
of the aff1ietion which the dispensation casts
upon one who has been so recently relieved
from the service of the State.
We understand that Mrs. F1LLMoRE's re-
mains will be inferred in the family vault at
Buffalo. They will be conveyed hence by
railway in special Car this morning, accom-
panied by Mr.. FILLMORE and members of the
family, together with some personal friends.

The LATE ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO RAILRoAD.-Itis stated that the late accident
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is the first with
fatal results that has ever happened on that road
during the twenty-odd years in which it has been
in operation. This may be the fact; but it should
be remembered that the portion of the road vest
OF Cumberland has only lately been put into oper-
alton, and it is on that portion of the road wind
ing around SO many mountain sides and on the
verge of such formidable precipces, that we may
expect the not very extraordinary occurrence of
running off the track to be attended nearly always
with dreadful consequences. One serious, if not
fatal accident, occurred on this road few months
ago, arising, If we remember right, in a similar
manner. from running off curve; and in July
last the cars ran off the track this side of Cumber-
land, when that there no loss of life or serious
injury was almost miraculous. We have heard il
alleged that this road at the curves is defective in
strength, and that the rails and their fastenings
are insufficient for the great pressure and momen-
tum OF the cars, which is necessarily exerted
against them in these mountain decliyities and
windings From the character of those engaged
in this great public work, we should suppose this
to be otherwise; but the company owes it to the
public to make it apparent that the road is what
it should be in this respect Life is too valuable to
be sacrificed, as in the late case, without an in
quIry whether something cannot be done to pre-
vent such calamities for the future

IHE AILANTHus TREE.-The New York Times
has rushed to the defence of the prescribed allan
thus tree, and processes particular friendship for
the outlaw; but, in doing SO, makes the serious
mistake of saying that it is tree which is infested
with caterpillars. Now. the chief virtue of the
ailanthus is that insect will live on it's leaves or
branches. The only substantial objections to it
are the unpleasant odor of its blossoms and the
noying prolifcacy of it's roots.

From the Louisville Journal,
such is Life.

"'Tis distance lends enchantment TO the view"
Man has heart attuned to freaks of sadness,
For many cherished hopes lie withered there,
And memory oft recalls those days Of gladness,
Which we in early youth were wont 10 share,
And vain regrets of hours msspcnt will haunt US,
Till hope beams in the future to enchant us
From us the dreams of youth have fled forever,
To manhood grown we now nave learned ps
heart
That chidhoods Joys, so dear, on earth viii never
In hfe's stern autumn find their counterpart,
Yet hope TO us, like weary dove returnlnS
Whispers the future boards our hearts fond yearh-
ing.
The stream OF life back through the dim long past
We of review, with light and shade dispersed
i,s sides nos, leeLsd with flowers and now @ er
Bv cvpress gloom, now truly blest, now cursti
But as in distance earth and sky seem nearest
So TO our vision youthful scenes are deares'
Life TOO from its acclvty ofyears
We view, as from the slope OF some high hli,
Where far outspread beneath the past appears,
Smiling in vernal green yet lovelest still
The tar off vale OF youth with sunlight tinted
And the son velvet mead with sweet flowers
printed.
The bow Of promise, with It's blended hues,
Caught from the glories ofthe setti e sun,
With wonder and delight our eye pursues
To trace its varied colors one by one,
banish,
And hopes bright arch would into chaos vanish
Thus is it. TOO, with each defect IN man,
As well as in each virtue of his heart,
When after death his character we scan,
From every fault released, he stands apart
A perfect being 10 our spirit vision,
Though oft pcrchance IN llie heio III oe''s'o"
O. 100 tho wandcrer from his childhood's home,
When in some foreign land his heart Is sad
Sees through the vista Of nus spfn S, S'oo Glad

There is life whose beauty, now unseen,
Do,b far surpass imagnaton's ken,

Where disappointment ne'er can snng again,
Where hope may anchor, all for which We've
