VOLUME I   THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1848   NO.29

DEATH OF GENERAL JAMES TAYLOR--We are called on to record the decease 
of this venerable citizen.He died at 3 o'clock p.m.yeaterday,November 
7th., at his residence in Newport,Ky. He was born in 1769,in Caroline 
County, Virginia,and emigrated to Kentucky in 1792. He was Quarter Master 
General of the Northwestern army during the lasy war with England, in 
which office he served with distinction.  He was one of the officers 
designated by General HULL to draw up the articles of his surrender, 
which he refused to do. GENERAL TAYLOR left a very large property, being 
perhaps the largest land owner in the West.His estate,estimated at four 
millions,will descend to a son and three daughters.He preserved his 
faculties till the last hour.It was a most grateful reflection to him 
that his life was spared till the day of the Presidental election, and 
by the obliging disposition of the Judges of the election, who went to 
his chamber to receive his vote, he had the inexpressible satisfaction 
of casting it to his friend and relative, GENERAL ZACKERY TAYLOR for 
President of the U.S. His remark on giving his vote was characteristic 
of the old soldier--"I have given the last shot for my country."
