Interesting Account of the. Last Duys of James K. Polk, Ex-President of the United States. Yesterday, at twenty minutes before live o'clock, P. M., James K. Polk exnir - 4 # x? ccl, at his residence in this city. Mr. Polk had suffered from diarrhooa, on his way up the Mississippi river from 1 New Orleans, in March, but the attack passed off, and he readied this city in good health. A few days after his arrival he moved into his new mansion, a i stately edifice, which has just been completed and furnished in a style of combined elegance and taste. His estate lies 111 the very heart of the city, on an eminence known as Grundv's llill. havinc %r ' O I been the home of the Hon. Felix Grundy, from whose heirs Mr. Polk purchased the property. Having taken up his abode hero, the ex-president gave himself up to the improvement of the grounds, and was seen every day about his dwelling, aiding and directing the workmen he had employed. Now overlooking a carpenter, now giving instructions to a rrardenm*. often nttimrlnd by Mrs. Polk, whose exquisite tuste constituted the element of every improvement. It is not a fortnight since that 1 saw him on bis lawn directing some men, who were removing decaying cedars. I was struck with his erect and healthful bearing, and the active energy of his m;.nner, which gavo promise of long life. His flowing gray locks alone made him appear beyond the middle age of life, j xie sccmca in lull ncauii. Tlic next day, being rainy, lie remained within and began to arrange his large library ; and the labor of reaching books from the floor and placing them on the shelves, brought on fatigue and slight fever, which the next day assumed tnc character of disease in the form of chronic diarrhoea, which was with him n complaint of many years'standing, and readily induced upon his fvs- j tcm by any over exertion. For the three first days, his friends l'clt < !???

But the skill and experience of this gentleman, aided by the highest medical talent, proved of no avail. Mr. Polk continued gradually to sink from day to day. The disease was checked upon him four days before his death, but his constitution was so weakened, that there did not remain recuperative energy enough in the system tor neauny reaction, lie sunk aw?.y so slowly and insensibly, that it was eight hours before he died, after the heavy death respirations commenced, lie died without a struggle, simply ceasing to breathe, as when deep and quiet sleep fnlla upon u. weary man. About half an hour pveccecling his death, his vontrablo mothor entered the room,and kneeling by his bed-side,offered up a beautiful prayer to the "king of kins, and lord of lords," committing the soul of her son to his holy keeping. The scone was strikingly impressive. Major Polk, ilua. - J* ? wiu x ri?iuc*ni8 Drotner, was also hy his hcd-siclc with other members of the tiimiT Upon the coftin was a plain silver plate, wjth these words: ( J, K. roLK, I I BOUJf NOVEMDCU, 1705, ) DIED JUNK, lfi-10. r The body lies in state to-day, The noble drawing rooms are t>hroudcd in black, and every window in mourning with black scarfs of crape.
