DEATH OF BREyEr MAI. +. N. PAGE, ASSISTANT
ADJT GENERAL u. s. AKMy.--It becomes our mel
ancholy duty to announce the death of this gen
tleman, which took place at his residence, near
this city, on Sunday morning last. His death was
not unexpected to his friends, as he had for many
months been wearing away by disease. Maj. Page
was man of fine intellect and possessed all those
qualities that constitute gentleman of refined taste
and high sense of honor-strictly and scrupulously
honest in all the transactions of life. He was a
native of Gloucester county, Va, and entered the
army in ls4O and was twice Brevetted during the
Mexican war for his bravery and gallantry. For
many years he was stationed at the post near this
place, and in 1852 he was married to Miss Sue
Dnval, Of this city, and in 1853 was ordered to
Florida, during the last trouble with Billy Bowlegs
After his removal he was permitted to return here
on sick leave. His health has been declining for
many years, and the insidious disease was all the
while undermining his constitution, until finally the
monster overcame his feeble frame and he yielded
to the " King of Terrors.n Major Page leaves a
wife and four small children to mourn and lament
the loss of one who has been kind and Affection
ate husband and father. Although we have known
Maj. Page for many years, yet we are unable to
give his character and history, and we leave that
for some one who is familiar with them to perform.

The Liberal troops were commanded by

On both sides, upwards of 10000 men
were engaged. Prisoners to the number

route, went ashore few hundred yards to
the south Of Fort Point, at the entrance Of
San Francisco bay, on Saturday evening,
Oct. l3. The fog was very thick at the
time. She was iu charge of Capt. Daley,
an experienced pilot.

our Territory, and be is favorite with
them all. As o civil engineer he has no
superior on the coast No man did more
valuable service than be during our late
Indian war, or underwent more hardships,
for oil which he has not received one cent.
Gen. TILroN has shown sound judgment
and taste in bestowing this position upon
gentleman whe is so admirably qualified
to discharge its duties, and the emOluments
Of which will in some small degree compen-
safe him for his lily requited services during
the war. We rejoice that there is one man,
at least, in power who is willing to stand
up for our noble, though much abused vol
