IN MEMORIAM. - DEATH of HON. MILES TAYLOR. - On Wednesday of last weeks, 
September 24th, Hon. Miles Taylor, whose name is familiar to nearly all of 
our readers, departed this life at Saratoga, New York, in the 67th year of 
his age. Deceased came to Louisiana from his native State of New York when 
quite a young man, and engaged in the practice of law, soon becoming eminent 
in the profession and the peer of the brightest legal lights that adorned 
the bar. He also acquired a great influence in political circles and was 
elected to Congress from the second Congressional District, which position 
he filled with honor to himself and his constituents until the ordinance of 
secession was adopted by the Louisiana Legislature, when he resigned his 
seat in the National Assembly and retired from political life. He had 
acquired considerable property, owning a fine plantation in this parish and 
another in Assumption, and of late years resided in the city of New Orleans 
and devoted himself wholly to his profession. He was an able, honorable and 
conscientious man - one who never knowingly did any man a wrong - and his 
life might be held up as a fitting model for young men to emulate.
