Ii will be seen by the following article from the Nashville Banner, that MrsRACHAEL JACKSON, wife of General ANDREW JACKSON, ded at the Her mI:age, on tie 22d ut.

 We are called on this morning to an- nounce an event of the most awful aud melancholy nature. In the midst of prep arations for festivi,y and mlrth, the kne!l of death is heard, and on t he very day when it was arranged and expected that our town should be scene of general rejoicing, we are suddenly checked in our career, and are called on to array ourselves III gar ments of solemnity and woe. Mrs. RA- CHAEL JACKSON, wife of General Andrew Jackson, President elect of the United States, died last night at the Hermitage in this vicinity. The intelligence of this aw- ful and unlocked for event has created shock on our community almost unparal- elled. It was known, few days since, that Mrs. Jackson was violently attacked by disease, which, however was supposed to have been checked, so as to afford pros- pect of immediate restoration to health.- This day being the anniversary of an lm- portant event in the last war, was ap- propriately selected to testify the respect and affections of his fellow citizens and neighbors to the man, who was so soon to leave hls sweet domestic retirement, to as- sume the responsibilities and discharge the important duties of Chief Magistrate ot the nation. The preparations were already made. The table was well nigh spread, at which all was expected to be hilarlty and joy and our citizens had sallied forth on the happy morning with spirits light and 1 buoyant, aged countenances glowing with animation and hope-when suddenly the scene is changed, congratulations arc con- verted into spressions of coincidence, tears are substituted for smiles, and sincere and general mourning pervades a community, where, but a moment before, universal hap piness and public rejoicing prevailed. But we have neither time nor room at present to indulge in luther reflections on this mel- ancholy occurrence. Let us submit with resignation and fortitude to the decrees, however afllictng of just and merciful though mysterious and inscru,able Provi- dencc.
