THE DEATH OF SENATOR McDoUG ALL-The fol-
lowing letter written by Senator Cole to Judge
Burke, of San Francisco, contains some interesting
particulars of the last hours of the late Senator
McDougall
ALBANY, Sept. 6, 1867.
DEAR JUICE: l have just returned from the fu-
neral OF General McDougall. He died here day be-
fore Yesterday. in the house where he was brought
up. His sister, Mrs. Campbell. occupies it.
saw him there two weeks ago he was then pros
trate and did not know me at first. He called to
his sister and inquired if she had sent for the doc.
tor. taking me for that person. Upon the mention
of my name he rallied little. but did not talk
much. 1t was apparent at that time that his re-
covery doubtful, and | was not surprised to
hear of his DEATH 1t is said that he came back to
these scenes of his younger and happier days to
die. Mrs. McDougal says it was his wish, often
expressed to he buried at Lone Mountain, where
he provided a vault. in which rest the renal rs of
only son. But few days before he died. he allud-
ed afectionately to his poor boy as sleeping alone
on the distant Pacific shore. The General, doubt
less, had some premonition at the time, and posi-
bly, hope that he might soon be borne TO keep his
darling company in his long sleep. McDougall was
a man of warm heart and most generous impulses.
These. coupled with his Intellectual endowments
and superior scholarly attanments, fitted him for
the greatest usefulness in society. he was not a
man to obtrude his sorrow upon others, and his
tongue silent alike accomplishing and boasting.
He possessed keen sense Of justice. as every law
yer should aud felt sensby any infiction of wrong
upon himself. This he would show by his manner.
yet he was not fesenttul, for he would only repel
an indignity when il seemed intolerable. He was
a sharp close reasoner, but little too iranscen-
dental sometimes. to be clear. This was more OBJ
servahle in private conversation than in his public
addresses nevertheless he always entertaining
in his speech. General McDougall deserves to live
in history, and should live remembered more for
his virtues than his foibleS.
The preparations for his burial were all that his
most earnest friends could desire. In his elegant
coffin he looked natural as life. His long white
hair, his high forehead and clear expressive face
were even beautiful. The attendance at his funeral
was not large and the mourners were few.
