      THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES , GEN . ZACHARY TAYLOR . The death of this eminent man is recorded in another column ; in giving some particulars of his remarkable career , we shall in this place confine ourselves to a mere relation of facts . Zachary Taylor \ sras born in Orange Comity , Virginia , on the 24 th November , 1786 . "While he was but a few months old , his father , Col . Eichard Taylor , -who had distinguished him-Sfllf in the war of the revolution , migrated vsith Ms 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 ¦ w ere continually exposed gave them

      self-possession , a readiness for emergencies , and a contempt of peril , admirably adapted to success hi 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 the 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 worked on thefann . WhilehewasyetDnderage , somemovementsin 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 retained to the labours of his farm , and to his studies , with a disposition , However , to serre his country in arms much 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 , JamesMadison , appointed to the vacancy by President Jefferson , the 3 rd of May , 1808 .

      ' Many anecdote ! i of thia period of Ma life hare been preserved . In one we have a description of his personal appearance . Winding down a hill near Mont Morales , the column is halted to let a troop oThoniepass . Do you see at their head a plainlooking gentleman , mounted upon a brown horse , having upon his head a Mexican sombrero , dressed m a browa olive-coloured loose frock coat , gray panteloons , wool aocks , and shoes ? FroaAnder the frock appears the soabbard of a sword j he has the eye of a hawk , and every lineament of his countenance in expressive of honesty , and a calm determine d mind . The nlain-looking gentleman is Ueneral Zachary Taylor , who , with his military iamily , and a squadron of dragoons as an escort , is on hia way to the front . A few more anecdotes ' ManyaneedotegofthiB ^ n ^ fw . . ^

      4 | a * * — — vw * v O 44 VJI W MUwVUVVVV will serve to show the character of the man . After the capitulation of Monterey , the officers of the army used their exertions to get General Taylor to move from his camp at St . Domingo to the Plaza , and there establish his head quarter ! Several public buildings were examined and decided upon as suitable . After considerable persuasion General Taylor consented to move , at the same time giving the following instructions : «• Choose a pleasant location—a house that is surrounded by a garden filled with large trees ; put up a tent under the trees for my residence , and yon ( the staff and Other officers ) may have tha house in front . " It is needless to add , that no more was said about tho head quarters being removed into the city of Monterey . ¦ * .

      In the early part of a severe action , when the enemy had succeeded hi turning the left wing of his little army , and secured a seeming advantageous position in the rear of their line , at the base of the mountain ; -when a portion of the tr 00 D 8 , OVerpowerodby 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 his fears 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 J 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 ate . " The officer resumed his duties with a light heart , considering tnat the battle , in spite of appearance , was already

      won . A little while before the battle of Buena Vista , a party of twenty athletic young men , direct from Saltillo , met Gen . Taylor near Mb camp at Walnutgrove . " Where are you from ? " inquired the good old man of the foremost of the youngsters . " "Just from Saltillo , General , " waavthe' reply , in a voice such as a favourite son assumes when speaking to a familiar parent . " Well , well , " said the General , looking at the party with solicitude , " you bad better oe careful boys , and not trust 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 . K

      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 Ricardo that General Ampudia had 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 ™» « \ ° . ti " charge General Ricardo replied , toat this was done by the rancheros , who could not be controlled . " " I am coming over , and will control them for you , " said Taylor . " '

      Ihe 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 uneasineBs 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 theunanimousresponse . The battle was fought and—won .

      On his triumphant return from Mexico his mends put him in nomination for the office of president . He was for a time an unwilling candidate , but when be at length agreed to enter the lists his plain , straightforward conduct , gained him many new supporters . Bis two opponents were General Cass and Mr . Vaa Buren , but the real contest lay between Taylor and Cass , and its termination in November , 1848 , showed the electoral votes 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 let allappliea . tions be made through the propar 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 as h " e » in mypower , I intend that all new appointments shall be of men honest and capable . I do not intend to remove any wan from office because ne roted against me , for that is a freeman ' s privilegt ; but such desecration of office and official patronage as some of them have been guilty of to secure the election of the mastw whom they serred as flares is degrading to the character of American freemen , and will be a good cause for removal of friend or foe . Ths office of the gorernment should he filled with men of all parties ; and , as I expect tofind many of those now holding to be honest , good men , and as ttie new appointments will , of

      course , be Whigs , that will bring about this result . Although I do not intend to allow an indiscriminate removal , yet it grieves me io think that it will be necessary to require a great many to give place to better men . As to my cabinet , I intend that all interests and ail sections of the country shall be represented , but not , as some of tha newspapers will hare it , all parties . I am a Whig , as I hare always been free to acknowledge , but 1 do not belters that those who voted for me wish me to be a mere partisan President , and I shall , therefore , try to be a President of the American people . As to the new territory , it is now free , and slaver ; cannot exist there without a law of Congress authorising it , and that Idtnot believo 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 warnor , I am a peace man .

      His subsequent conduct confirmed the favourable impression that this preliminary announcement created , and men of all parties 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 OF 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 iirtellect , perseverance , and strict integrity , in a public and private capacity .

      His father , Nathaniel Fillmore , was an American farmer of humble means , who lived at Summer Hill , Cayuga county , New York , where Millard , now President , was horn , January 7 tn , 1800 . About the year 1802 he removed to the town of Sempronius , now Niles , 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 edncation beyond what were afforded by the imper-r feet and ill-taught common schools of the country . Books vrcro 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 books and the Bible . At that period he was sent into the wilds of Livingston county , to learn the clothiejrs' 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 mean b of acquiring general knowledge through hooks . He improved the opportunity thus afforded ; the appetite grew by what it fed upon . The thirst for knowledge soon 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 hooks of history , biography , and travels . At the age of nineteen he fortunately made an acquaintance with the late Judge Wood , a man of ¦ we alth and great business capacity , who had an excellent law library . He soon saw that under the rude exterior of the clothier ' s boy were powers that only required proper , development to raise the possessor to distinction and usefuluess , and advised him tiK ? - ? " 8 tudy 1 ^ . In reply to a qoeshim in 2 c ^ ° * education , means and friends to aid ™» in a course of professional study , Judge "Wood

      Untitled Article

      imdlv offered to give him a place in his office , to Mvance money to defray his expense j , and wait until success in business should furnish the means of repayment . The offer was acoepted . The apprenface boy bought his time , entered the office of Judge wood , and for more than two years applied himselt closely to business and study . He read law and general literature , and studied and practised surveying . ' ¦•¦ •" Fearing he should incur too large a debt to his benefactors he taught iu a school for three months in the year , and thus acquired the means of partially supporting himself . In the autumn of 1821 ho 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 hia ^^ VrhliiVrfi 7 h i ii t »

      legal studies until the spring of 1823 , when he was admitted to the Common Pleas , and commenced practice in the village of Aurora , whereneremained until 1830 , when he again removed to Buffalo . His first entrance into publio life was in January , 1829 , when he took his seat as a member from Erie county , to whioh office he was re-elected two following years . His talents , integrity , and assiduous devotion to public business , soon won for him the confidence of the house in an . unexampled degree . It was a common remark among the members , " If Fillmore says it is right / we will vote for It . " The most important measure of a general nature that came up during his service in the state legislature was tho bill to abolish imprisonment for

      debt . In behalf of that philanthropic measure Mr . Fillmore took an active part , urging its justice and expediency , and , 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 Us progress ; but Fillmore and a com * pact party fought tho question so well , that impriaomnent 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 members—nnw mm * unless

      , they enjoy a wide-spread and almost national reputation , rarely taking an activo and conspicuous part . Little chance , therefore , was afforded him as a member of the opposition , young and unassuming , of displaying those qualities that so eminently fit him for legislative usefulness . But the school was one admirably qualified to more fully deyelope and cultivate those powers which , under more favourable circumstances , have enabled him io 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 tho interests of his constituents and the country , and winning the respect and confidence ofall .

      At the close of his term of service he resumed the practice of his profession , whioh he pursued with reputation and success until , yielding to the publio 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 Means , it was justly anticipated would become the moat important committee of the 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 , he was placed at the head of the Committee of the Ways and means , the duties of that station always arduous a nd responsible , were at that time peculiarly so . A new administration had come into powei ? , and found public 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 the government was restored , ample means were provided for the exigencies of the public service , and the payment of the national debt incurred by the former administration .

      In 1844 he was selected as the Whig candidate for governor for New York but failed . Confident , however , that he could command the strongest vote m New York , the Whigs again selected him as their candidate for comptroller , in 1847 , and succeeded in electing him by an unprecedented majority . Such was the man whom the Whigs presented as their candidate for vice-president . He was elected Vicc-Presidene , and now , by the death of General Taylor , the once clothier ' s boy is President of the United States .

      Shipping op the Grea t Bnii from NiNKVin . — The lovers of art will be pleased to hear that the Great Bull arid ono hundred tons of sculpture excavated by our enterprising countryman , Doctor Layard , are now on their way to England , and may ba expected in the course of September , In addition to the JSIgin , Phigalian , Lycian , and Boodrbom marbles , our Museum will soon be enriched with a magnificent series of Assyrian sculptures . It is said atNinevah that theFrenoh government are determined to excel us in the exhibition of Assyrian works of ¦ 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

      been accordingly voted for the expenses of excavation . The learned Major Rawlinson 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 pur numerous countrymen , who feel a deep interest in the enterprise , that it will not bo abandoned to Our neighbours by the lack of encouragement manifested in the refusal of the neeessary funds . A drawing which represents the shipping o ( the sculpture has just been brought over by one of the Messrs . Lynch , of Bagdad , who has been with Dr

      Layard exploring the remains of Ninevah . Ifc represents the action of placing the Great Bull on board the Apprentice , at Morghill , on the right bank of the Euphrates , about three miles above the old city of Bussorah . This place long formed tho country residence of Colonol 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 the Euphrates . Alongside the Apprentice is the Nicotris , steamer , under the command of Jones , I . N ., / whose influence with the natives is most powerful , and to whose assistance the success in effecting the difficult operations on 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 the 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 , we 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 . The Falls of Niagara : Overthrow of the Great Table Rock . —Accounts from Canada

      announce the fall of tho Great Table Rook of the Falls of Niagara , under circumstances of much interest . We extract the followin g from the Buffalo Courier of the 1 st instant— " The falling of Table Rock at Niagara Falls , on Saturday last , wbb 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 tcet 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 aoise occasioned by the crash was heard at the distance of three miles , though

      many nv the village on the American awe neard notbing of it . It is » very fortunate circumstance that the event took place at dinner time , when most of the visitors were at the hotels . No lives were lost ; A carriage , from which tho horses had been attached , stood upon the rock , and a boy was seated inside . He felt the rock giving way , and had barely time to get out and rush to the edge that did not fall before the whole immense mass was precipitated into the chasm below . " .

      The Mark Ovbrbhot . — " Yes , marra , that ' s a craob article , " Baid a shopkeeper to a lady purchaser . " Oh , mercy , " said she , " if the thing ' s cracked , I don't want it . " A bbou anecdote is told of the Nepanleso ambassador , now in London . At Mr . Luraley ' s grand fete , he asked to bo introduced to Carlotta Grisi , with whose dancing he had been enchanted at the Opera House . The lady was presented , and the Prince made some remark , whioh , ' on being translated , was found to be , that" He did not know her with her clothes on !"

Montague says— "The only objection I have to be a man is that I should then have to marry a woman . " Al A religious anniversary in England , a few years ago , a very excellent hut eccentric clergyman was called on to dose the meeting with prayer , and as the exercises had been protracted to an unusually late hour , and many of the audience had already left the house from excessive fatigue , he was requested to offer a short prayer , which he did In tho words following : — " O Lord , forgive the tediousness of the speakers , and the weariness of the hearers . Amen . .

      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 . Declarations . — " I see , " said a young lady , " that some bookseller advertises blank declarations for sale . I wish I could get one . " "Why ?" asked the mother . " Beoause Mr .

A Witty Feixow . —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 : —Magistrate : What is your name ? Prisoner : Hare ; but it ' s a misnomer , for I ' m quite bald . And I haint swift like a hare 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 tha

      roads when they ' re out of repair . —Magistrate : I know better ; tell me how do you live ? Prisoner : Pretty well , Bir , ' generally a joint and a pudding , or so , at dinner . —Magistrate : I mean , air , how do you get your bread ? Prisoner : O , I beg your wor-Bhip ' s pardon ; sometimos at tho baker s , and sometimes at the chandler ' s shop . Just as it happens , •—Magistrate : You 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 , and how do you keep her and yourself ? Prisoner : My case is a pitiful one , sir . I have a wife so ill that she is afraid she shall die , and it makes me ill to think she won't ; for I can ' t keep her still in any sense , and therefore heartily pray the fates , may tako a fancy to her . —Magistrate : It ia wron /? , 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 terrors for that . —Magistrate : Well , sir , but about the turnips ; what nave you to say to them ? Prisoner : Nothing to say to them , 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 the three found in my pockets gvew into them while I lay , tho heat of my body causing them to shoot up faster than ordinary . I steal turnips , your worship I I'd scorn the action .

      STOPPING THE MALES ( MAILS ) ON A SUNDAY . What ! no males to travel on a Sunday , ma ! I must say in that Lord A . goes too far : 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 Btand in some important caso . Tug barrister knew precisely aa 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 tho scrape , and it was certainly expected of hira . either to fight or apologise . This settled the point—for the proud little . Hibernian , though he would rather oat than fight , still infinitely ^ preferred being shot to making an apology . Sa the duellists , with their seconds , dec , were soon

      upon the battle-ground . Tho ohnllenger waB notorious as a great pistol-shot , and had fought some halt-dozen duels before , in one of which he waa so badly wounded as to bo left a cripple for life . When other preliminaries were arranged , ho requested , through his second , one favour from his adversary , which was permission to stand up against a mile-stone that was on the chosen ground . He sought no advantage ; but wished to lean against the atone , being too lame to stand without support . His-request was at once granted , and just ns the word was about to be given , the lawyer issued hi 8 mandate to stay proceedings , as he also had a request to make . In the gravest manner in the world he solicited permission to lean against the next mile stone , and the joke waB so good that the challenger took his revengo out in a hearty roar of laughter , withdrawing his deadly defiance , and declaring that he could never shoot a man of such excellent humour .

      Brain Labour . —To many persons it seema a small thing to sit down and prepare matter for the periodical press ; but let those inexperioncedwith the pen , and whose brains have never been trained to systematic labour , attempt to furnish intellectual food and recreation totheir fellows , and they will soon realise that mental labour is the most destructive to health of all other toil . Were one to grub stumps out' of the earth , or sling tho sledge hammer twelve hours a day , he would beaolo to stand tho drudgery , with less injury , to the body , and soul than half the number of ' hours devoted to mental employment in tho way ' of writing matter for the

      book or ' newspaper press , " Instructive' Anscioiit . —A humming-bii ' d met a butterfly , and being pleasod with its . beauty of ¦ person and / splendour of its wings , made an offer of perpetual friendship .
