Hooker and Chandler Gone,

Our readers, perhaps, will generally have heard,
ere this number of our paper reaches them of the
death of Major General Joseph Hooker and Senator
Zach. Chandler Each was over sixty-six years of
of age General Hooker had been invalid for
several years, but " Old Zach " was full of energy
to the last Both died suddenly, the former at his
home on Long Island, in the midst of his family.
the latter found dead, upon his bed at Chicago
hotel The remains of each were lying in state,
November 5, and viewed by thousands Of
people, the General at the City Hall of New York
the Senator at the City Hall of Detroit The names
of both will be favorably chroncled by the future
historian. They were honest in their convictions
of duty and devoted to the interests of Liberty and
Union.
The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power,
And all that beauty, all that wealth eer
Awaits alike the inevitable hour
The path of glory leads but to the grave.
