Major General MAcoMB died at Washington, on the 25th ult., of apoplexy.

 This gentleman has always held high rank in the esteem of the officers of the army. He born at Detroit the Sd of April l7s2, and that city, being in his youth, garrison town, he early impressed with an admiration of the pomp and circumstance of military achievements. At sixteen years of age, he was elected to company called the New York Ram gers, which expected to be called into active service. In 1799, Gen. North, struck with his mer its, took him into his staff with the office of Deputy Adjutant General. After marching to the Western frontier, and gaining knowledge of that extensive country, he returned to New York, and was sent to West Point. Subsequently his promotion was rapid, and in all his after conflicts with the British forces, he enhanced his reputation and did inestimable vice to his country.

 In 1921, he was called to Washington, to take the office of Chief of the Engineer Department. On the death of Gen. Brown, Commander -in- Chief of the Army, he was appointed in his place, which he held up to the time of his death.

 The office he left vacant will, it is expected, fall to Gen. Scott, and probably revive those angry dis putes which occurred on the death of Gen. Brown i'll 1928, between him and Gen. Gaines.
