The death is announced this morning Of
DR.. T.. c. FrsHER, one of the assistant SUI
perintendents Of the Western Lunatic
Asylum at Stanton. Va. We were about
20 say that DIR. FISHER was celebrated
alienist, but we would have doneinjustice
"a his memory in applying to him that term
Us the world understands it. DR.. FISHER
was native Of Richmond, and no man
ever lived in Virginia who did moro for
tho insane, both Of this State and North
Carolina. He was too modest, too loving.
too devoted TO the unfortunate to be
celebrated, save among those who saw
how DO worked with heart and soul in
the effort to restore reason, and minister
u the mind diseased. DIR. Fisher was a
Christian. and. like the late DR.. SrKrBrINo,
he was also Pinelest Need more be said.
Could higher eulogy be passed upon him.

President Andrew jackson.

The 8th OF January never comes and
goes that il does not cause somebody to
repeat the old, stale falsehood that General
JACKSON was nothing but western
rough" of the last century. II is rather
surprising that such belief should per
sistr when we remember that General
JACKSON was Judge and a member of the
United States Senate OF n time when
Judges were not selected who had not the
proper qualifications for the judicial Office
and when no United States senator had
ever bought his seat in the Senate.
As to General JAcKsoS's manners we once
or oftener heard the late JAMES A. Co
wArDIv, the founder of this paper, say that
General JACKSON was, in the company OF
ladies, the most courtly gentleman he had
ever seen. Testimony to the same pur-
port has been given by numerous persons.
Therefore we do not wonder that the Ten
nessee papers should now be zealouslv en-
gagged in indicating the character OF one
Of Tennessee's greatest men.
Another popular mistake concerning
General JACKSON was and is that he was
not the author Of his own messages to
Congress We heard the late JOHN G.
Rrvrs say that though General JACKSON
was not above having his rhetoric criticised
he wrote his messages substantially as they
were read in the TWO houses Of Congsoss.
For instance he was himself the author of
the phrase the blessings of government
should fall alike upon the rich and the
poor" but accepted from FRANCIS ?. BIAIR
or some member of his Cabinet the sus-
gestion that the words like the dews OF
Heaven" should be added so as to make
the full sentence read, Tho blessings OF
government, like the dews of Heaven,
shauld fall alike upon the rich and the
uoorD

william and His Crown.

The New York Tunes INDUCES in an arti-
Gle on crowns In general and the new
crown, in particular, which the young
German Emperor il said to have ordered
for himself. The Tsmess article is amusing,
but il is not altogether consistent with
some things that paper had toeay pre-
viously about young WILLIAM. For irl-
stance, our contemporary remarks that tho
present Emperor inherited the crown from
his grandfather (his father not having
lived long enough 10 be crowned) and az
NAV well be imagined this" (old VIII
IrAM'B) "crown IL much too large
for him" II we mistake no. the
Times has heretofore sedulously sought
TO inculcate the impression that young
wI,IIAM is suffering from terrible
case of big head that would prevent
any crown from fitting him. We have not
concurred in this view. Our impression IN
fact is that lust now the crown of the old
German lion would be trife large for
young WILLIAM. The grandfather, WILLIAM
l., was one of the men of the century, but
in Justice TO the grandson it should be
said that he gives evidence that if he
lives many years he may grow to" old
WILLIAMS crown. To good many papers
young WILLIAM has been. rs we have here
tofore remarked. a most disappointing mon
arch in that he is continuously knocking
their prophecies Of evil into smithercens.
He improves on acquaintance; and under
the Guidance of BISMARCK and others of
his grandfather's friends his head, which
is naturally good one, seems to be enlarg-
ing in wisdom If not in size. He is proving
himself patriot az wellas discreet mon
arch-proving himself indeed pretty much
everything the Berlin correspondents for
foreign journals said when he succeeded
to the throne he would not prove.
