DEATH OF MAJOR GENERAL TowsoN.

We are panied to have to announce the death, on
Thursday, from paralysis, Of Gen. NATHAN TowsoN,
Paymaster General Of the Army. The name Of
this gallant and distinguished officer is intimately
associated with almost every brilliant action upon
the Niagara frontier from the commencement to the
close of the war of 1872 ia In the official state
ments Towson's corps formed a prominent feature /;
and one Of the commanding officers graphically said
Towson's battery emitted constant sheet Of
fame" He was especially distinguished in the
battles Of Chippewa and Bridgewater, and in the
sortie from Fort Erie Gen. ToWsoN was native
of Maryland, and at the time Of his death had at
tanned the age of seyenty-three years. Hehas gone
down to the grave with the sincere respect and gra-
ttude OF his countrymen. tits singular coincidence
that the reward. which was due to Gen TowsoN and
his brave little command for their brilliant achieve
ment in capturing enemy's armed brig in Niagara
river in the year 1872, never having been provid-
ed for by Congress, was before that body at this
session, and he had the satisfaction Of knowing,
before he paid his last debt that his countrys debt
to him had been unanimously recognised by the
Naval Committee of the Senate; and we may add
that, had death spared him another day, he would
probably have seen bill reported to render him final
though tardy justice The claim was for the value
of the captured vessel, which occurred under cir
cumstances SO Illustrative Of the romantic bravery Of
the then youthful captain Of artillery that we will
take occasion at Some future day to reproduce the
history Of the daring affair for the qualification Of our
younger readers.

What it says of the desire of the Administration to

greatness of its responsibility, and wisely acts up

which have existed with the adjacent British Pro-
