Death of Gen. Andrew Jackson.
The illustrious hero of two wars—the
brave soldier—the bold patriot—the good
citizen is no. more! Having spent a Tong
life of usefulness on earth, he finally closed
his cyes’on the morning of (he 8tlt inst.,
and his mortal spirit winged its flight ! His
death a nation mourns, whilst history re
cords on ifs brightest page his memory.
General jackson was a native of'South
Carolina, born at Warsaw, in 17G7. En
thusiastic in youth, he grew up to manhood
full of courage, and full ot ambition. His
they must make that an issue in the coming election,
distinguished career at the North Carolina
Bar, and, afterwards, his able discharge of
the duties of Attorney General of Tennes
see. He then had little relish for politics,
having been elected in 179G, by that State,
to the National Senate, which sent lie re
signed the-same year.- He then resumed
the Journal, “ is the way to talk to the people on
tliic cuhjprt.” Thn Ponvrntinn surely ought to fool
under many obligations to the Journal for all this
burying the bitterness of parly strife, and
awakening a’national spirit of unity and
patriotism throughout the land, which
speaks in thunder tones to the enemies of
ourcountry, that when their feel shall po-
lutcour soil, hefsons will think, speak, and
strike ns one—that there is an all pervading
love cf country which is more cherished
than life—stronger than death.

at the memorable battle of Talladega, ob

He pursued, dispersed and drove them into
their retreats, and restored once again pence
