Death of Ex-President Tyler

v
The Richmond Examiner of last Mon
day has a full account of the last hours O
John Tyler. We quote: a
On Saturday morning the public were
startled by the intelligence that little af
ter midnight ex-President Tyler had
breathed his last at his rooms, in the Ex.
change Hotel, of this city. The announce
ment Of this melancholy fact occasioned
the most painful surprise in the communi
ty, as it had not been known that Mr.. Ty.
Ter had been sick, or even generally known
that he at all been indisposed.
On the Sunday morning preceding his
death Mr.. Tyler came to the breakfast ia.

While slipping cup of tea, he was seized
with sudden faintness, and on attempt.

into the ladies parlor, where he recovered
and was then conveyed to his chamber
Several physicians were present, and came
to the assistance of Mr.. Tyler. saA
This sudden attack of illness was not
supposed to be serious, and gave but little
alarm, as it was well known that the de.
ceased, at different periods Of bis lie, had
been subject to severe attacks Of vertigo
Hopes were INDUCED of his speedy recov-
cry, and it was not doubted that be would
get well until the night he died, when he
was suddenly taken worse and failing rap.

fifteen minutes past twelve O'Clock on Fri

AT the time Of the decease Of Mr. Ty-
Ter, there were present in his chamber Drs
Blown, Peachy and Miller, Mr.. Josiah @.
Wilson, of Charles City, Mr. and Mrs. Bal.
lard, and Mrs. Tyler and child. These
were the witnesses Of bis last moments.
DR.. Brown had been sent for, and on en-.
tering the room Mr.. Tyler said, "Doctor l
am dying" A few moments and he fell
off into the utter weakness that precedes
dissolution. One of the attending pbysi.
clans approached the bedside with medi-
cine, aud said, "Mr. Tyler, let me give you
some stimulant." II will not haze it,,

tEThe tone of the Southern newspapers
as agenaral thing, is gloomy, and indicates
that the insurrectionary States are filled with
apprehensions of the most dreadful disasters,
and that the people begin to see and understand
the awful situation in which they are placed by
the political leaders who have plunged them in.
to revolution. We find In many of the South
ern journals bitter criticisms of the policy OF
JEFF. DAVIS. and the expressions Of dissatisfac-
tiOn with his rule are frequent, and show, even
in the cautiousness with which they are worded
spirit of deadly hostility. 1t is not often,
now, that we find the Southern papers talking
of the cowardiee of Northern people. They
have given up that style of self-deception.-
Indeed we think the insurgents are receiving
most valuable instruction, and there is reason
to think That by the time their war education is
finished, they will become tolerably good citi-
zens Of the United States. Ss-

u 1t is amusing to read the denunciations
of JEFF. Davis by the rebel press, because. 90
they hold. he has permitted their Generals to
cary the war into the Northern States. Some
OF them seem to believe that JEFF. Davis saves
the great cities Of the North from capture and
piunder. Cincinnati and Philadelphia are es.
pecially pointed out as open to Southern inya-
sion. The foolish fellows have never had the
slightest opportunity to penetrate into the
Northern States. All the advantages they have
gained. with the single exception Of the capture
Vi lexington, are the results Of their policy Of
waiting. Raw trrops fight well on ground they
are acquainted with. in defending themselves
but are hard to handle effectively in offensive
operations. 1t may do well enough for clam.
or'to scold JEFF. Davis for not ALLOWING The
Southern army to march into the North but
the sry is unreasonable and prepostsrou..

regulations giving suffers rights and priv

Approved, December 25, 1861.
1t will BE- noticed by the above, that
Congress has passed an important act for
the tax payers of the different States.
The President of the United States is to
appoint Commissioners for each State.
The appointment of such commissioners
is for the benefit of such State consequent
ly Congress has seen fit to make no pro
uision for the expenses and pay for said
Commissioners, and undoubtedly intended
that each State should make provisions
therefore. The President will, without
doubt, appoint first class men on said mis-
sion. Would it not be for the interest of
all tax payers in tue State for the Legis-
|uture of Ohio to pass an act authorizing
The Governor to pay all necessary expenses
and a reasonable per diem for said COM
in our opinion the above should
be attended to at once as an act Of econ

The Burnside expedition has been heard
from. II consisted of over lbs vessels of all
classes. They arrived at Hatteras between the
Iath and 18th inst. having been greatly retard-
ed by severe storms and adverse winds which
prevailed during that time. After their arri-
ral.a Hatteras they experienced series of un-
paralleled storms; that as times it was impossi-
BILE to hold communication between any two
vessels of the fleet. Several vessels were wreck
ed. and the loss of property will probably
amount to three or four millions of dollars
They expected to be all right again in few
days and proceed forward.

eRWe print elsewhere written letter to
the New York Tribune by Mr.. W. A. CRorTur,
relative to conversation between President
LINCOLN and Gen. JIM LANE. The probability
is Mr.. CRorFur is not verbatim reporter. 1t
isvery unlikely that the President said he did
not believe the United States Government had
right to give up to loyal masters slaves who
were willing to return to them; and yet, that is
what Mr.. CRoFFur says he said. Mr.. CRoFFur
further states that prominent officer" told
the President he had been aeheing to ask him
why he did not acquire territory somewhere,
without asking the consent of Congress or
any body else. and say to the negroes of the
rebel States, 'Herel come out and go over there,
and we will protect you.'" Mr. CRoErUr don't
venture to give the Presidents reply to this alb
surd person. 1t might be worth while to in
quire low the President would go about it SOL
itary and alone to acquire territory, and how
the invitation to the negroes in the rebel States
to come opt, could be executed just now, and
how they would get out. if they were actually
to receive invitations. Taken n all in all, we
must place Mr.. CRoFFUr's report of private
conversation among the apocryphal writings.

The following is an extract from the
London Review concerning the Royal Vol

"The Volunteers are resignirg in every
direction, In one county an entire corps
has been disbandedAin many others the
companies are being SO rapidly thinned
that they must soon collapse unless fresh
support arrives. The metropolis is no bet.
ter off than the provinces. Every Gazette
contains notifications of the resignation of
officers, and we are informed that in Ger.
tain corps dimunition in number is GO
ing on atthe rate of twenty or thirty every
week. Unquestionably this has bad ap-
pearance. Here, just as We are apparent
ly on the brink off war, the volunteers
--our much Wanted source of defence
are coolly taking leave of US, and giving
us to understand that we must fight and
protect ourselves in the old way. Can il
be that the volunteers are aftaidf"
So, at the first sign ofth war, the
boasted British army Of volunteer riflemen
began to fade. 1t seems that in this coun.
try, war rs the signal for volunteering, but
in England the effect Of an International
breeze is the breaking up of the volunteer
