Nov. 10. Near Fort Washita, in the Cherokee Nation, Brevet BrigadierGeneral William G. Belknap, Lieutenant-Colonel of the 5th Infantry, aged 56. He was born in the town of Newburg, New York, on the 14th of September, 1794, and on the 5th of April, 1813, was commissioned as 3d Lieutenant of the 23d Infantry, and distinguished himself in the attack of the British on Fort Erie, in August, 1814. Upon the reduction of the army after the war, he was retained as Lieutenant in the 3d Infantry, and was made a Captain in 1822. He was brevetted 1st of February, 1832, Major, for ten years' faithful service in this grade. In January, 1842, he was promoted Major of the 8th Infantry, and on the 15th of March, 1842, was brevetted Lieutenant-Colonel for gallant services during the Florida war. He was with General Taylor on the Rio Grande, and was brevetted Colonel for his services in the battles of the 8th and 9th of May, 1846, and for his gallantry in these battles his fellow-townsmen of Newburg presented him with a sword. He continued with General Taylor's column, and was brevetted Brigadier-General for bravery in the battle of Buena Vista. From December, 1848, to May, 1851, he was in command of Fort Gibson in the Cherokee Nation, and devoted himself greatly to secure the welfare of the Cherokees. In May, 1851, he was ordered into Upper Texas to keep the Indian tribes within their lines, and while thus engaged contracted the disease which caused his death. Oct. 11. Near Montreal, Canada, James Buchanan, Esq., aged 81, for many years the British Consul in New York.

Oct. 26.

[ocr errors]

In Harrisburg, Pa., Hon. John C. Bucher. He had been an Associate Judge for many years, and was from 1831 to 1833 member of Congress.

Dec. 26. In Austin, Texas, General Edward Burleson, aged 52. He was a native of North Carolina, whence he emigrated to Texas in 1830, and was an active participant in the struggles of Texas for independence. Both Houses of the Legislature adjourned in respect to his memory.

Dec. 29.- In Richmond, Va., William C. Carrington, aged 30. He was editor of the Richmond Times, and was distinguished for his attainments and excellent qualities. He was a native of the county of Charlotte, was educated at Hampden-Sidney College, and was a student of law at the University of Virginia. Soon after commencing the practice of law in his native county he removed to Richmond, and embraced the editorial profession, to which he was well suited. Only three weeks before his death, he was elected one of the three delegates of the city of Richmond to the Legislature. He died of an attack of pneumonia, after a short illness.

Nov. 26 In Windham Co., Conn., Hon. George S. Callin. He was Representative in Congress from Connecticut in 1851.

Nov. 26. In St. Johns, N. B., Hon. Ward Chipman, aged 65, late Chief Justice of New Brunswick.

Nov. 12. In Paris, Me., Hon. Joseph Green Cole, Judge of the Western District Court of the State of Maine. He was born in 1799, at Lincoln, Mass., and graduated at Harvard University in 1822. After spending a short time in Worcester with Hon. Levi Lincoln, he came to Maine and settled at Paris. He successively held the offices of Clerk of the House of Representatives, Representative to the Legislature, Register of Probate, Clerk of the Courts, and Judge of the Western District Court. He discharged the duties devolving upon him in these several stations with the greatest integrity and honor Sept. 14. In Cooperstown, N. Y., James Fenimore Cooper, aged 62. Mr. Cooper was born in the year 1789, at Burlington, N. J., where his father, William Cooper, an English emigrant, had settled some twenty years before. He was educated under private teachers; entered Yale College in 1802, and graduated in 1805. The next year he procured a midshipman's warrant, and adopted the navy as his profession. After six years' service, he resigned his commission and returned to private life. In 1811 he married Miss De Lancey, sister of the bishop of the diocese of Western New York, with whom, after a brief residence in Westchester County, the scene of one of his finest fictions, he removed to Cooperstown, where, with the exception of his occasional absences in Europe, he passed the greater part of his life. It was just before his removal to Cooperstown that he commenced his career as an author. He had written, in his moments of leisure, a novel of English life, called " Persecution," which, published anonymously, and under great disadvantages, met with little or no success. It indicated talent, but not that high order of talent which the author subsequently displayed. But "The Spy," which speedily followed it, at once established his fame. In 1823 "The Pioneers" appeared to sustain and advance his reputation, and each succeeding volume of the "Leather-Stocking Tales," -"The Prairie," "The Last of the Mohicans," "The Pathfinder," and "The Deerslayer," - was read with increasing interest. Shortly after the success of "The Pioneers had made Mr. Cooper the first novelist of the country, he achieved a triumph on the sea as signal as that he had first won in the forests. His romance of "The Pilot," followed at intervals by "The Red Rover," "The Water-Witch," "The Two Admirals," "Wing and Wing," &c., placed him at the head of nautical novelists, where he still stands without a peer and almost without a rival.

In the year 1826 Mr. Cooper went to Europe, where his fame had preceded him, and where, while advancing his own reputation by new fictions, he defended that of his country by his pamphlets and letters. The intellectual fruits of his European experience were " The Bravo," "The Heidenmaur," "The Headsman," &c., -tales exhibiting the same robust powers of description which marked his earlier works, but whose want of national costume prevented them from reaching the same high degree of success. On his return to the United States, he wrote the "Letter to his Countrymen," the "Homeward Bound," and the "Home as Found," in which the indulgence of a certain constitutional irritability, and a disposition to find fault, gave great offence to his critics, and deprived him of his former extensive popularity. This revulsion of the popular taste was rebuked with still severer strictures on the part of the author, who at last came to an open rupture with his old admirers, and, when he could no longer correct them with the pen, he tried to justify himself by an appeal to the law.
