A Worthy Tribute.

BY the courtesy of our estimabe
townsman. Col. Geo. A. Porterfeld. a
veteran of the Mexican War, we have
been permitted to peruse copy of the
address of Gen. S. G. French, delivered
at the recent meeting of the Attic Club
in Washington City. That gallant old
Virginia soldier. General Zachery Tay-
lor. afterwards president of the United
States, was made the theme of General
French's remarks, and the address was
a truthful sketch of General Taylor par
ticipatiou in the great war amid the land
of the Montezumas, which extended the
area of the United States by the addi-
ton of Utah, Nevada. California, New
Mexico. Arizona, and part of Colorado.
and rounded out the ocean boundary of
our country, In the peroration of his ell
oqnent address, General French, speak
log of General Taylor after he became
President, said: Noble, frank. kind,
generous, he envied no one. He was
plain and simple in his manners and met
his many friends with a.hearty shake OF
the hand, utterly free from ostentation
and as pleasantly as on the filed of bat
tie. His death came mainly from the
worriment of Office. When he died
there burst a noble soul from its confine-
ment. The grave of Moses is unknown
BY Nebo's lonely mountain,
This side Jordan's wave.
In vale IN the land of Moab,
There lies lonely grave
ut is the grave of the greatest war
rior that ever buckled on a sword. and
by the waters of the beau iful Ohio there
is another lone grave. 1t is the resting
place of an eminent warrior, General
Zachery Taylor.
