The Late President Of The United States,...
THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES , GEN . ZACHARY TAYLOR . The death of this eminent man is recorded in another column ; in giving sofhe particulars of his remarkable career , we shall in this place confine ourselves to a mere relation of facts . Zachary Taylor was bora in Orange County , Virginia , on the 24 th November , 1786 . While he was but a few months old , his father , CoL Kichard Taylor , who had distinguished himself in the war of the revolution , migrated with bis family to Kentucky . He was one of the early pioneers . But ten years before , for the first time had the habitation of the white man
been seen anywhere in the territory between the western boundary of Virginia and the distant Mississippi . "With his rifle , even at the time of Col . Taylor ' s arrival , the enterprising settler was compelled to dispute with the Indian and the beasts of prey his title to the soil . There was a great deal of useful , though rough , discipline in the hardships of a border life . The dangers to -which the inhabitants were continually exposed gave them
self-possession , a readiness for emergencies , and a contempt of peril , admirably adapted to success in important undertakings . All the intellect was brought into play , sharpened , and fitted for action . Whilst young , the future President aided his father in the labours of the field , and this early exposure to . the severity ; and vicissitudes of tho weather , hardy habits and homely fare , laid the foundation of a constituion well adapted to the hardships he afterwards encountered . He attended schools
in the winter months , whenever a school , however distant , was accessible , and in summer workedonthefarm . "Whilehewasyetunderage , somemorementsin the West seemed to threaten the integrity of the Union , and he eagerly enrolled himself in a troop raised to oppose the design . The excitement upon this subject soon subsiding , he returned to the labours of his farm , and to his studies , with a disposition , however , to serve his country in arms ranch stimulated by what he had seen of mimic war . An elder brother , a lieutenant in the army , dying soon after , he was , through the influence of his relative , James Madison , appointed to the vacancy by President Jefferson , the 3 rd of May , 1808 . .
- General Taylor no sooner entered the service of his country than he exposed his life in her cause . By his defence of Port Harrison against R teat 0 ^ 8 , he saved a . frontierfrom devastation . From that early exploit , as from a corner-stone , his fame gradually rose , as he went gallantly on through a service of some forty years , _ tmtil his successful campaigns in Herrico —< : ampaigns that secured California for the United States-gave him a reputation ' extending to all parts of the world . To many parts of Ms career his countrymen point with great pride . In the war with England he gallantly defended the "half-erectedinilitary post against a large and almost Indians
overwhelming body of , ana drove them off ! ¦ with but a handful of men . He was equally cele- ' brated in what is known as the Indian war in the < ' iorttwest ; for his victories in the Jlorida war , and again for his two battles , in the new , ha capture of t ? e city of Monterey , strongly fortified and occupied by a superior force ; and , finally for his defeat of 25 000 men under Ianta Anna , by a force of 4 , 000 volunteers who bad never been m action Sb ™ Bly l » 0 regulars . Dunn-the whole of leSSwar he ^^ - ^ Mta !? * the men underhis command ;; for . h "»*™! j ° expose himself to danger i /^}^ j ^ £ ^ p eacTas the best reward of all military exertion .

After considerable persSn ttelinA ° r rT Se ?^ ^ ve , at the same time giving ; the following instructions : «« Choose a pleasant Iocation-a house that is surrounded by a garden filled with large trees ; put up a tent uhoer the trees for my residence , and you ( the staff and other officers ) may have the house in front . " It is needless to add , that no more was said about the head quarters being removed into tie city of Monterey .. *
In the early part of a severe action , when tho enemy had succeeded iu turning the left wing of his little army , and secured a seeming advantageous position m the rear of their . line , at the base of the mountain ; when a portion of the troops , overpowered by the superiority of numbers , were forced to retire in "hot haste . ; " when , indeed , the fortunes of the day seemed extremely problematical , an officer of high rank rode up to General Taylor , and announced the temporary success of . the
enemy , and expressed hisfears for the success of the army . Taylor ' s reply was characteristic of the man . ' « Sir , ' said he , " so long as we have thirty muskets , we can never be conquered ! If those troops who have abandoned their position can be rallied and brought into action again , I will take three thousand of the enemy , prisoners . Had I the disposition of the enemy ' s forces , I would myself place them just were they are . " The officer resumed his duties with a light heart , considering that the battle , in spite of appearance , was already ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
won . . i - A little while before the battle of Buena ; Vista , a party of twenty athletic young men , direct from Saltillo , met Gen . Taylor near his camp at Walnutgrove . " "Where are you from ? " inquired the good old man of the foremost of the youngsters . " " Just from Saltillo , General , " was the reply , in . a voice such as a favourite son assumes when speaking to a familiar parent . " . Well , weH , " said the General , looking at the party with solicitude , " you had better be careful boys , and not trost ' yourselves out on the road in such small force ; you will get cut off some time ; it is very imprudent to do so . " That evening Gen . Taylor and staff , seven persons , all started for Saltillo . ....
As proof of his humanity , it is recorded that Taylor , leaving the battle ground of Buena Vista , ordered upwards of forty mule loads of provisions to be sent from his camp to Incarnation , for the use of the wounded Mexicans who were in the hospital there , and starving from hunger . Taylor told General Ricavdo that General . Ampudiahad written to him , stating that the war should be conducted in accordance with the usages of civilised nations , but that after the last battle they had barbarously stripped and mutilated our dead . To this charge General "Etieardo replied , that " this was done by the " rancheros , who could not be controlled . " " I am coming over , and will control them for you , " said Taylor .
The general had assembled his council of officers the night previous to the conflict of Buenos Vista , for the purpose of hearing their suggestions in relation to the approaching battle . A good deal of uneasiness was exhibited—objections were raised—the disadvantage of the immense " odds" were presented—propositions to retire and wait for reinforcements were urged—some were for giving the enemy battle—and one proposed that the American army should " fallback "—when the old hero ' s opinion was asked . "Are you all done , gentlemen ? " Every one had finished . " Then , gentlemen , I will adjourn this meeting , " coolly added Taylor , " till after the fight to-morrow . " " Good !" was the unanimous response . The battle was fought and—won .
On his triumphant return from Mexico his friends put him in nomination for the office of president . He was for a time an unwilling candidate , but when he at length agreed to enter the lists his plain , straightforward conduct , gained him many new supporters . His two opponents were General Cass and Mr . Van Buren , but the real contest lay between Taylor and Cass , and its termination in November , 1848 , showed the electoral vote & of the states to be : for General Taylor , 163 ; for General Cass , 127 ; majority , for Taylor , 36 . The term of office for the new President commenced in March , 1849 . Previous to this he indicated the character of his intended policy in a speech that tended to confirm the character his friends had claimed him for good sense : — '
lam not yet President , and when 1 am 1 ft all applications be made through tlie propsr departments ; and if it is wished to more an incumbent let it be shown that he does not answer the Jeffersonian standard for an officeholder , and that the applicant does ; for , as far 21 begin my power , I intend that all new appointments shall be of men honest and capable . I do not intend to remove any man from office because be voted against me , for that is a freeman ' s privilege ; but such desecration of . office and official patronage as some of them bare been guilty of to secure the election of the master whom-they served as slaves is degrading to the character of American freemen , and will be a good cause for removal of friend or foe . The office of the government sbonld be filled with men of all parties ; and , as I expect tofind many of those now holding to be honest , good men , and as the new appointments will ,
of course , be Whigs , that will bring about this result . Although I do . not intend to allow an indiscriminate removal , jet it grieves me to think that it will be necessary to require a great many to give place to better men . Al to my cabinet , I intend that all interests and all sections of the conotry shall be represented , bat not , as soma of tha newspapers will hare it , all parties . lam a . Whig , as I have always been free to acknowledge , but 1 do not believe that those who voted for me wish me to be a mere partisan President , and I shall , therefore , try to be a Pre . sident of the American people . A » to the new territory , it is now free , and slavery cannot exist there without a law of Congress authorising it , and that Id * not believe they will ever pass . I was opposed to the acquisition of this territory , as I also was to the acquisition of Texas . I was opposed to the war , and , although by occupation a warrior , I ' am a peace man .
His subsequent conduct confirmed the favourable impression that this preliminary announcement created , and men of all partiea will lament the event that has shortened the career of a man who served his country so gallantly in the field , and so moderately , fearlessly , and well in the presidential chair .
Millard Fillmore, The New President Op T...
MILLARD FILLMORE , THE NEW PRESIDENT OP THE UNITED STATES . The career of the new President of the United States , Millard Fillmore , affords an useful lesson , by showing what may be accomplished in the face of the greatest obstacles , by intellect , perseverance , and strict integrity , in a public and private capacity . His father , Nathaniel Fillmore , was an American fanner of humble means , who lived at Summer Hill , Cayuga county , JJew York , where Millard , now President , was born , January , 7 tb , 1800 . About the year 1802 he removed to the town of Sempromns , now 2 ? iles , and resided there till 1819 , when he removed to Erie county , where he still lives , cultivating a small farm .
The narrow means of his father deprived Millard Fillmore of any advantages of education beyond what were afforded by the imperfect and ill-taught common schools of the country . Books were scarce and dear , and at the age of fifteen , when more favoured youths are far advanced in their classical studies , or enjoying in colleges the'benefit of well furnished libraries , young Fillmore had read but little except his common school hooks and the Bible . At that period he was sent into the wilds of Livingston county , to learn the clothiers' trade . He remained there about four months , and
was then placed with another person to pursue the same business and wool carding in the town where his father lived . A small village library that was formed there soon after gave him the first means of acquiring general knowledge through hooks . He improved the opportunity thus afforded ; the appetite grew by what it fed upon . Tlie thirst for knowledge soori became insatiate , and every leisure moment was spent in reading . Four years were passed in this way , working at his trade and storing his mind , during such hours as he could command , -with the contents of books of historv , biography , and travels . "

lundly offered to give him a place in his office , to advance money to defray his expenses : and wait . uutu success in business should furnish the means of repayment . The offer was accepted ;'' The apuren-S " V timt >» enteretl the office of Judge wood , and for more than two years " applied hiraselt closely to business and study . ¦ He read law and generalhterature , and ; studied and practised surveying . * ¦ Fearing he should incur too largea debt to his benefactors he taught in a school for , three months m the year ; and thus acquired the means of partiT ally supporting himself . In the autumn of 1821 he removed to the county of Erie , and the next spring entered a law office in Buffalo . - There he sustained himself by teaching in a school , and continued his legal studies until the spring of 1823 . when he was
admitted to the Common Pleas , arid commenced practice in the village of Aurora , wherehere mained until 1830 , when he again removed to Buffalo . His first entrance , into publio Ufewas in Januarjj 1829 , when he took his seat as a member from Erie county , to which office he was re-elected two following years . His talents , integrity , " and assiduous devotion to public business , soon ; won for him tho confidence of the bouse in an unexampled'degree . It was a common remark among the members , " U Fillmore says it is right , we will vote for it . " The most important measure of a general nature that oame up during his service in thb state legislature was the bill to abolish imprisonment for debt . In behalf of . that philanthropic measure Mr .
Fillmore took , an active , part , urging its justice and expediency ; ahd , as a member of that committee on the subject / aiding to perfect its details .- The bill met with a fierce , unrelenting opposition at every step of its progress ; but Fillmore and a compact party fought the question so well , that imprisonment for debt was abolished in the state . He was elected to Congress in the fall of 1832 . The'session of 18334 is , remembered as the one in which that system of politics known under the name of Jacksonism was fully developed . ' . He took his seat in the stormy session of 1833-4 . . In those days tho business of the house and debates ; , were led by old and experienced taeuaberB- ^ new ones , unless
they enjoy a wide-spread arid almost national reputation , rarely taking an active and conspicuous part . Little chance , . therefore / was afforded : him as a memher . of the opposition , young ahd unassuming , of displaying those qualities that so eminently nt himfor legislative usefulness . But the school was one admirably qualified to more fully develope and cultivate those powers which , under more favourable circumstances , have , enabled : him to render such varied and important service to his country . He discharged . ' his duty with scrupulous fidelity , never omitting on all proper , occasions any efforts to advance the interests of his constituents and the country , and winning the respect and confidence
At the close of his term of service he resumed tho practiceof his profession , which he pursued with reputation and success until , yielding to the public voice , he consented to become a candidate , and was re-elected to Congress in the fall of 1836 . In this Congress Mr . Fillmore took a more active part than he did . during his first , term , and on the assembling of the next Congress , to . which he was .-reelected by a largely increased majority ! , he was assigned a prominent place on what , next to that of Ways and Mean ' s , it was justly ' anticipated ; would become the most important committee of tlie house —that on elections .
On the assembling of the next Congress , to . which Mr . Fillmore was re-elected by a majority larger than was ever before given in that district , . be was placed at the head of the Committee of the . jWays and means , the duties of that station always arduous and responsible , were at that time peculiarly so . A now administration had come into power , and found publio affairs in a state of the greatest derangement . The measures he brought forward and sustained speedily relieved the government from , its embarrassment . A new . and more ' accurate system of keeping accounts , rendering them clear and intelligible , was then introduced . The credit of tho
government was restored , ample means were provided for the exigencies of the public service , and the payment of the national debt incurred by tho former administration . In 1 SH he was selected as the Whig candidate for governor for New York , but failed . Confident , however , that he could command the strongest vote in J ? ew York , the Whigs again selected him as their candidate , for comptroller , in 1847 , and succeeded in electing hini by an ' . unprecedented majority . 8 uch was the man whom the Whigs presented as their candidate for vice-president . He was elected Vice-President , and now , by tho death of General Taylor , the . once clothier ' s boy is President of the United States .
Shipping .Of. The Great Buii. Fbom Ninev...
Shipping . of . the Great Buii . fbom Ninevah . — The lovers of art will be pleased to hear that tho Great Bull and one hundred tons of sculpture excavated by our enterprising , countryman , Doctor Layard , are now oh . their way to England , and may be expected in the course of September . In addition to the Elgin , Phigalian , Lyoian , and Bdodroom marbles , our Museum will soon be enriched with a magnificent series of Assyrian sculptures . It is said atNinevah that the French government are determined to excel us in the exhibition of Aaayrian works ot art , in order to ' compromise the comparative deficiency which the Louvre is obliged to acknowledge as to the treasures , it possesses in the other great catalogues , and that large sums have
teen accordingly voted for the expenses of excavation . The learned Major Bawlinson continues to decipher and explain the wondrous records which have been buried in the earth so many ages , and increases , as he continues his labours , the glorious curiosities relating to the kings , and peoples , and events referred to in the Scriptures , to the fidelity of which they bear testimony . It is hoped by our numerous countrymen , who feel a deep interest in the enterprise , that it will not be abandoned to our neighbours by the lack of encouragement manifested in the refusal of the necessary funds . A drawing which represents the shipping of the sculpture has just been brought . pyer'by one of the Messrs . Lynch , of Bagdad , who has . been with Dr .
Layard exploring the remains of Nmevah . It represents the action of placing the Great Bull on board the Apprentice , at Morghill , on the right bank of tho Euphrates , about three miles above the old city of Bussorah . This place long formed tho country residence of Colonel Taylor , lately the political agent of this country at Bagdad and Bussorah , and is-now rented by Messrs . ' Stephen Lynch and Co ., for the Hon . East India Company , as a depot for the vessels on tho Euphrates . Alongside the Apprentice is tho Ni ' cotris , steamer , under the command of Jones , I . N ; -, whose influence with the natives is most powerful , and to whose assistance the success in effecting tho difficult operations or the muddy and deserted banks
of the Euphrates , is in a great measure attributable . The Apprentice was sent out from this country by Mr . Alderman Finnis , at the instance of tho trustees of tho- British Museum , and to that gentleman and his nephews , Messrs , Lynch , the public are indebted for a strict periodical communication between the Thames and the Euphrates . Another vessel belonging to the alderman is , wo understand , upon the eve of leaving London , and it is hoped by the admirers of art that she may in like manner return home laden with the monuments and trophies of what we have been too apt to regard as some fabulous metropolis of the ancient world . Tux Falls of Nuga . ua : Overthrow oi ? the Cheat Table Rock . —Accounts from Canada
announce the fall of the Great Tabic Rock of the Falls of Niagara , under circumstances of much interest . We extract the following from the Buffalo Courier of tho 1 st instant - — " Tho falling of Table Rock at Niagara Falls , on Saturday last , was an event which has been prognosticated from time immemorial , though the precise period at which the affair would ' come off ' was not designated . The portion that fell was from 150 to 200 feet long , and from thirty to seventy feet broad , making an irregular semi-circle , the" general conformation of which is probably well remembered by those who have been on the spot . It was the favourite point for observation .. ' The noise occasioned by the crash was heard at the distance of three miles , though
many in the village oh the American side heard nothing of it . It is a very fortunate circumstance that the event'took ' p lace at dinner time , when most of the visitors were at the hotels . No lives we ' re lost ' A carriage , from which the horses had been attached , stood upon tho rock , and a boy was seated inside . Ho felt the rock giying way , and had barely time to get out and rush to the edge that did hot fall before the whole immense mass was precipitated into the chasm below . " , - Models , —The model of part of Liverpool , the docks . & c , now in progress for the 1851 exhibition , is to he ' on so large a scale as to show everything distinctly , and will cost about £ 750 . A model of
London has been made for the same purpose , on a scale of eight inches to the mile , and containing in all ninety-six square feet . We understand that it exhibits the exact situation of all tho public buildings , churches , bridges , railways , & c , with the Thames from Batteraeii to Rotherhithe , and shows the different elevations of the streets . 'Wo aro glad to hear that efforts are being made to purchase for the new museum at Manchester Mr . Carrington ' s large plan model ( six feet by three feet eleven inches ) of 3 , 000 square miles of district in England , comprising fche ' countrr lyingina broad belt between tho llumber and the Mersey , including a great part of Yorkshire . Nottingham , Derbyshire , and Cheshire , described by us some time since . — The Builder .

The crossing sweeper who , it will bo remembered , was taken into the suite of the Nepaulese ambassador , has been summarily dismissed with a present of two pounds . No fault was found with his conduct , but the aristocratic toadies who hang round his excellency represented that the keeping such a person in his establishment was infra dig . Dkclarations . — " I see , " said a young lady , 1 that some bookseller advertises blank declarations for sale . ' I wish I ; could get one . " . '¦ " Why ?" asked the mother . " Because Mr . L . is too diffident to ask me to marry him ; and perhaps if I could fill a blank declaration with tho question he would sighit . " . - ..- '! , ... ¦ :.. ..
A barrister noticed . for absence , of mind , was once witnessing the representation of "Macbeth , " anu on the witohes replying to the thane ' s inquiry that they would do a deed without a name , started up , exclaiming , "A deed witheut a name *! why , its void—it ' s not worth sixpence !" A With Fallow . —At the Public-office , at Stourbridge , a short time since , a vagabond-looking fellow was brought up . charged with stealing turnips , ' when the following conversation passed between him and the sitting magistrate i—Magistrate : What is your name ? Prisoner : Hare ; hut it ' s a misnomer , for I ' m quite bald . And I haint swift like a have neither , or I shouldn ' t have been here . —Magistrate :, . What trade are you ? Prisoner
One of nature ' s journeymen . —Magistrate : What ' s that ? Prisoner : Don't you know ? I mend tho roads when they ' re : out ofrepain—Magistrate : I know better ; tell me hbw dp you live ? Prisoner Pretty well , eirVgenbrnlly a'joint and a pudding , or so , at dinner . —Magistrate : I mean , sir , how do you get your bread ? Prisoner : O , I beg your worship ' s pardon ; sometimes at the baker ' s , and sometimes at the chandler ' s shop . Just as it happens . —Magistrate : Toil may be as witty as you please , sir , but I mean simply ; to ask you how , you do . Prisoner * . Tolerably well , I thank your worship . I hope your worship is ' well . —Magistrate : Hear me , sir ; have you a wife , aud how do you keep her and yourself ? Prisoner : My case is a pitiful one , sir . 1
I have a wife so ill that she is afraidshe shall die , and it makes me ill to think she won't ; for I can't keep her k'M . in any : sense , and . therefore heartily pray tho fates may take a fancy to her . —Magistrate : It is wrong , my man , to speak of the king of terrors in that flippant manner . Prisoner : O , I don ' t fear him , ' I have lived too long with the queen of terror ' s for that . —Magistrate : Well , sir , but about the turnips ; what have you to . say to them ? Prisoner : Nothing to say to thorn ,-your worship , because they could not hear me if I had . Therefore tho less said about such stupid things the better . It ' s enough to starve one to think about them . —Magistrate : But did ' nt you take the turnips found-in your pocket ? Prisoner : I , your
worship . ! certainly not . I went to sleep in the field amongst the turnips , and tlie three found in rny pockets grew into them while I lay , the heat of my uody causing them to shoot up faster than ordinary . I steal turnips , your worship ! I'd scorn . tho action . ( Loud laughter . ) The prisoner was . dismissed with a caution , and , on leaving the court , remarked that "he'd pray that-his worship ' s head might never grow grey , to prevent people from saying that he had used his jaws move than his brains . " stophno ins walks ( mails ) on a sundat . What 1 no males to travel on a Sunday , ma t : I must say in that Lord A . goes too lav . But of course , as I 'know you think him right , Dear Joe will bo welcome on tho Saturday night .
A Duel Avoided . —A famous duellist challenged an Irish barrister , for some remark made by the barrister whilst the duellist was giving his testimony on the stand in some important case . The barrister- knew precisely as much about fighting as a fancy boxer knows , about " Milton's Paradise Lost . " . His . friends told him ,. however , that there was no way to avoid the scrape , and it was certainly expected of liim either to ' fight or' apologise . This settled the point—for tho proud ; little Hibernian , though he would rather eat than 'fight , " still infinitely preferred" being , shot'to . making an apology . So tho duellists ; with their seconds , & c „ were soon upon the battle-ground . The challenger was notorious as a great pistol-shot j and had fought , some hali-dozeh duels before , in one of which he was so badly wounded-as to , bo left a cripple for life ' .
"When other preliminaries wore arranged , ho requested , through his second , ono favour from his adversary ; which -was permission to stand lip against a mile-stone that was , on tho chosen ground . He sought rio advantage , but' wished tolean against the stone , being too lamo to stand without support ; His request : was at once granted , and just as the word was about to be given , the . lawyer issued his mandate to stay proceedings , as he also had ' a request to make . ; in the grayest' maimer' in the world he ' solicited permission to lean , against tlie neat mile stone , " and the joke' was so good that > the challenger took his rovengeout in a hearty roar of laughter , withdrawing his deadly defiance , and declaring that he could never shoot a man of such excellent humour .
Braik Lahour . —To many persons it seems a small thing to . sit down and . pvepare matter for tho periodical press ; but let those inexperienced with tho pen , and whose brains have never been trained to systematic labour , attempt to furnish intellectual food and recreation to their fellows , and they will soon realise that mental labour is tho most destructive to health 6 t all other toil . A-Were one to -grub stumps out of the earth , or sling tne sledge hammer twelve hours a day , he would be able to stand the drudgery with less injury to the body and soul than half the number of hours devoted to mental employment in the way of writing matter for tho book or newspaper press ; . met

" I cannot think of it , was the reply , '' as you once spurned me , and called me a crawling dolt . " . " Impossible ! " exclaimed the humming-bird ; '' 1 always entertained the highest respect for such" beautiful' creatures as you . " Perhaps you do now , " said the other ; " but when you insulted' nio I whs a caterpillar . So let mo give you a ; picco of advice ; never insult the humble , as they may ono day' becomo your superiors . "
