After the oeremony of administering the oath to
Mr Pillmore had been completed the members returned
to Iht ir chamber, when another message was

1 in the Boose proceedings.
Mr Dowse arose and said?Mr. Secretary, I rise as a

the late President of the United States was, to olfsr

I many of us eat near the late President oi the United

1 are now raielug to the memory of the first and greatest

Zaohary Taylor was born in 1784, In Orange oounty,
Virginia. In early life he gave evidence of extraordinary
energy and foroe of eharaeter. In 18U3 be was
I appointed, during the Presidency of Mr. Jefferson, a
| lieutenant in the army of the United States; rose, In
1812, to the rank of captain, and after the declaration
of war with Great Britain, he was promoted major, by
President Madison, after his memorable and gallant
battle of Sort Harrison, with a handful ol men against
a large body of savages. In conclusion, Mr Dovns
submitted the following :?
Whereas it has pleased Divine Providence to remove
from this life. Zeehary Taylor, late President of
the Un>tedBtatea. the Senate, sharing the general sorrow
which this melancholy event must produce is desirous
of manifesting its sensibility en the occasion.
Therefore resolved. That aeommlttee. consisting of
Meeers Webster. Cass and King, he appointed, nn the
part of the Senate, te meet such committee ai may
be appointed on the part of the House of Representative#,
to eonfer and report what measures it may ha
proper to adopt to show the respect aad affection of
Congress for ths memory of the illustrious deceased,
and to make the necessary arrangements for his funeral.
It was ordsred that Saorstary of Senate communicate
the foregoing resolutions to the Hoots of RtprsotnJ

(Signed ) MILLARD FILLMOKR.
Wsshih.tos, 10th July, I860.
Eulogies were then delivered on the oharacter of the
deceased.
Mr. Ceaasr rose to offer a resolution dletated by hi*
own feelings, as well as a duty he owed ,to the {State
of Louisiana, which he represented, and ef which the
illustrious deceased was a bright ornament, and in
accordance with the wishes of members of this House,
to offer a few brief remarks appropriate to the oocasiou.
Seldom ha* ooourred a more striking illustration
oi the uncertainty of human life, and the instability
of human greatness, than that whioh was furnished
by ths event whioh they were oalled upon to
mourn A few days ago President Taylor was In th*
enjoyment of bia usual robust health On the fourth
of this month be attended the ceremonies which took
plnee in conuneinoratinn ef th* nuniversnry of our
national independence. The exposure which he in|
curred on that oocasion?the ceremonies having taken

which, U?t night, terminated his existence. In the
course of hia remarks. he said that there waa do part of
the lifeof President Taylor wbioh posterity will be called
ou to cvbdemn. or morality to reprove, er humanity to
I'eplore On bla illustrious character there are no
dark Kfole. Ou the coutrary, the details of the pioture
are as noireot aud beautiful as the great outlluea are
grand aud imposing Jji* modesty waa unaffected. and
combined with unflinching earnestness of purpoaa.
lie had a atern eenae of juatine anftened by a apirit ot
universal benevolence; unfaltering aineerity, which
knew no disguise; a truthfulness and frankness of
character, incapable of deceit or dissimulation. These
were the prominent characteristics of President Teylrr
Three were traits which endeared him to all.
These made hint an upright man, a valuable oltiien,
an affectionate hnabaud, a tond father, a devotei
frleud. a kiud and indulgent man Theee qualitiee
made his martial eocrage shins more eonsplcunus. as
tbe brilliancy of the diamond is enhanced by the gems
of more sereue ray. In which it is encircled. Theexolt<
meiit of politior had no charms for him. lie wes a
man always opposed to political controversy. The
splendor of the Presidential mansion had no temptation
for the man who was marked for his simplicity,
lie did not hesitate to discharge his high duties. At
no period of our nations! history has the exeontlve
cheir been surrounded by eo many difficulties Under
theee circumstances, need we be surprised that a man
of stautrr heart than (teneral Taylor might hesitate
before he in harked on tbe tempestuous sea? Tbe vessel
cfitate waa tossad to and fro, and all eyes were
turned toe ards the pilot, who has been suddenly swept
away from the helm. Let us survey the dangers
which surround us, and he prepared to meet
them like iocs Let us Inritete the example of
the Illustrious duo rased who knew ne danger Let us
not despair of the safety ot tile republic. Let us determine
that It *kall aud must be preserved, and It
shall and will ba preserved, aud he assured the eloud
which hangs over ns will b? dispersed aud the 8tate?
onre more appear lu their wonted brilliancy.

The Major General announces to the division, with ti
feelings of profound regret, the decease ot the I'resl- J
dent of the United States, which event occurred at the T
city of Washington on the evening of the 0th last. s
It has rarely fallen to the lot of any publ!o man to *
occupy so promluent a position In the estimation of [

respect of all nations; or to ]>oase?? so thoroughly the
respect, the admiration, and the devoted attachment ?
of his countrj men. h
The career of (leneral Zaehary Taylor hat indeed "
been mt morable. In the second war of ourindepen- J
dence. his bravery and skill ..linns out conspicuously
on the pages of our history. But it w is reserved for a '
future emergency to draw out iuto bold relief and to '
impritit on the tablets of Immortality, his sagacity, <"
firmness, persevering energy and unsurpassed gal- P
lantry as a great military raptain. The victories
achieved by him lu the war with Mtxlco, will ever r>
stand conspicuous In history, and will enrol his name 1
