Gen. Scott's Notice OF the Death Or


Gen. jackson.


Among the recent incidents connected
with the decease Of this distinguished per-
sonage, one occurred at West Point, on
which every American will dwell with
respect and qualification. The military
board over which Gen. Scott presides,
was in session when the intelligence was
received. Gen. Scott Immediately arose,
and asked that the examination might be
suspended. He then observed in SUBJ
stance: "Ex-President jackson died at
the Hermitage On the 9th inst. The in
formation is not efficial, but sufficiently au-
thentic to prompt the step am about to
take. An event Of much moment to this
nation has occurred. A great man has
fallen. Gen. jackson is dead-a great
general and great patriot had filled
the highest political stations in the Gift Of
his countrymen. He is dead. This is
not the place, nor am the individual, to
pronounce . fit eulogy on the illustrious
deceased. National honors will doubtless
be prescribed by the President Of the
United States; but in the meantime, and il
harmony with the feelings 81 IN who bsar
me, and particularly with those Of thS at-
thorities Of this institution, ! deem It prop
er to suspend the examination the cadets
for the day, and to wait the orders Of the
Executive e The United States on tie
subject"
