funeral of General Gaines. a
1 lie body of General Gaines, under the ,
) tU'ividiale charge of his late Aid-de-Cnntp, ,
\ Patrick Calhoun, and a number of ]
o ier friends was received in Mobile by the
Mramer Oregon. The body was received, in
"cjoidance with the Arrangements made by
'..a municipal authorities, and conveyed to
vhe Armory, where it was kept under the
h< ge of a guard of honor. During the day
. :ral guns were filed by the Artillery at
t interval#' Al ? vnoek, P. Mi-,
Ion composed of the Volunteer Regiments
.te Officers of the Brigade in uniform, the
t .,onic Fraternity and other citizens, was
( ted under the command of Major GenMcCoy,
and followed the body to the
eminent State Church. The procession
v,inost imposing, and well conducted?all
i companies, as well as the several staffs,
>rving the highest praise for the alacrity
v !i which they turned out, and their excel*
lei t bearing on the occasion.
.'he body was borne in front, on a splendid
f\ ' 'afalyere, prepared for the occasion, with
an obelisk, surmounted by a golden eagle
di ped in mourning. The car upon which it
was placed was drawn by six black horses,
v.-rile a fine charger, suitably caparisoned,
s led in the rear. The procession marched
to the sound of appropriate funeral airs, fine
pUyod by ib? Creole limit!.
The streets were lined by crowds, who bad
inncd out to witness the ceremonies. The
church was filled to overflowing by ladies and
gt ntlemen. The body was conveyed into
i 13 aisle and placed in front of the pulpit,
covered by the star spangled banner.
The address of the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, was
biuvjucut ami tippiopnuie iriouie, 10 tnc
aracter and memory of the illustrious de(
ascd. He detailed, in graphic style, the
incipal incidents of his life, and did full
slice to his exalted virtues and services.
After the discourse, the procession was Termed,
and conveyed the body to the place
sepulture, in the ' Old Grave Yard." We
d not witness these final ceremonies, and
mnot therefore describe them.
The whole of the proceedings testified the
f*>|L for the memory of the illusions
deceased, by the citr/.ens'Ol IVToqgDr,
ic melancholy pride which they feel in havig
his honored remains/leposited in our city,
ire lon? we shall expect fo see a suitable
jnotapn, erected by our city, over the grave,
> point out the spot where lies one of the
urest patriots, most gallunt soldiers, and disnguished
officers, our country has ever posted.
This distinguished soldier was the oldest
fficer in the American armv. and bin
'ns marked, throughout, by the most useful
rmd brilliant services. His original commist.on,
as ensign, bore date the 10th of Januny,
1799. A few years after, lie was selecl
d to make a topographical survey, though
the wilderness from Nashville to Natche:
'or the location of a military. This lia/^ruous
duty he pcrfoimed to the satis on of
:he Government. In the year 18' . hen
it was found that Spain refused to c ;v*';- up
Ko?iiropn ijip. Mjssiss I' Mid
i'crdido, including Mobile and Hat< >< .
nd obstructed the American trade v.'h "i
.{tiIf, the Piesident determined to ?
military collector of customs for th
if Stephcn,8,,, and selected Licior
that office, to which soon after, ??'
led the duties of Post master at 1
lart, with a supervision as agent over the oilier
viost masters and mail contrnctois, and cai-|
iers, in the extensive section of country
"rom New Orleans to Augusta, Georgia, the
greater portion of which was then a wilderless.
While in the discharge of these various
and complicatil! duties, he Was instrumental
in the arrest of Col. Burr, on the
l'ombecbeej and hod him carried to Richmond,
Va., for trial.
Gen. Gaines had nnw riomt in ?! ? ~r
Captain; but begun to tire of the dull employments
of a peace establishment in the
army, nnd, obtaining permission from bis
commanding' General, Wade. ? ? lireU
from ihe service, and turned his attention
to the Law, a profession which he had
studied before entering the army. He enterfered
upon the pract'ce in the counties of
Washington and Baldwin, in the then Mississippi
Territory, with flattering auspices;
but the declaration of war against Great Britain
in 1812, called him again to resume his
sword.
In this war, Gen. Gaines won his brightest
laurels. He was patticularly distinguished
in (he action of Chrystler's Field, ami he
was sevutely'wounded by the burstinng of a
shell. The important services by which he
gained his high reputation for gallantry nnd
soldiership form conspicuous passages in our
military history. He received in rapid succession,
promotions as lieutenant-colonel,
colonel, a<tjinani-g?n?t.J; iffailier-fftr.eml)
and major-general,?the last, the highest
rank authorized by law,nnd particularly complimentary
from being conferred as war-brevet,
expressly slating the fact that it was conferred
on him 44 in conseanence oi his i/?l.
O
Innt nnd meritorious coiulucf in battle." 'l'lie
Generul Government awarded him a vote of
thanks, with a gold medal, nnd the Slates of
New York, Virginia and Tennessee, each
oted him a gold mounted sword.
From this time, General Gaines devoted
himself to the military service of his country,
aiding in perfecting the army, and erecting
our national defences. He was always distinguished
for Ins scientific knowledge as a
soldier,, and suggested many valuable improovements
and experiments. In the Florida
war,he took a brief hut active parr, and
~ tvnr anxious to have shared ?n the dangers
and honors of our war with Mexico", but the
demands of the service required his presence
elsewhere.
General Gaines was always passionately
devoted to this country. He loved her honor
and prosperity above Ins own fife. To the
special qualities of a soldier, which he possessed
in the most chivalrous degree, fie added
the artniutmenls of the scholar, {ravlicuJarly
in all branches appurtenant to his profession*.
IFis many able rejioiisand communications
to the Government, evinced bis intellectual!
abilities, nnd the temjver of his patriotism.
'Flie death of this great man will he regarded
as a national loss. Though he has ,
gone full of years, at the allotted end of life :
yet his pre.-lire in our midst MiggeMed 'lie
roblest lessons of patriotism, unci patriotic
tcrvice. 1
By the citizens of Mobile this national loss
A'ill be particularly regretted. As we have,
shown, General Gaines was intimately connected
with our early history, and the fortunes
of this city. His first marriage was t
with a daughter ef Judge Harry Toulmin, |
our recent Post master. His brother, George <
S. Gaines, one of .or oldest and most valu- i
ble citizens, was like the General, a partici- i
par.i in all the movements which acquired
Western Alabama, and tho adjacent parts of
ivnvsissippi nom the IhUtuiis, and this city,
with the country west of the Perdido, from
Spain. They were the earliest American
pioneers iuto this section of the Union, and
may be regarded as among the 4< Fathers of
Mobile." General Guines leaves here> a large
number of relulions, besides the whole community,
to lament his death, and do honor to
his memory.

A Singular 1'liyMiological Fact.
The transference of vitality which appears
to take place when young persons are habitually
placed in contact with the aged, is
not nursery fiction. It is well attested by
very competent authorities. ' A not uncommon
cause," observes Dr. James Copeland,
" of depressed vital power, is the
with tile aged. This fact,
however explained, has been long remarked^
and is well known toeverv nnnr#>iiwli/??<t

server. I liuve on several occasions met with
the counterpart of the following case : u I
was, a few years ago, consulted about a paie,
sickly, and thin boy, of about four or five
years of age. He appeared to have no specific
ailment, but there was a slow and remarkable
decline of fle?h and strength and
of the energy of the functions ; what his
mother very aptly termed a gradual blight.
After inuuirv into the historv of ili?? ;?

came out I lint he had been a very robust and
plethoric child, up to his third year, when
his grandmother, a very good person, took
him to sleep with her ; thai he soon afterward
lost his good looks ; and that he continued
to decline progressively ever ?<inci. i. ?.

females married to very old n.cu suiter in ? t
similar manner, although seldom to so great
an extent; and instances have come to in*
knowledge where they have suspected the
cause of this debilitated state. These facts
are often well known to the aged themselves,
who consider the indulgence favorable to longevity,
and thereby illustrate the selfishness,
which, in some persons, increase with their
yents." Every medical practitioner is well
aware of the fact, and parents are generally
advised not to allow their infants to sleep
with aged persons."

Not another house was to be seen for miles
and the oolj evidence of life were in the few

was a butdier named Godfrey, who called

the Pollards with fresh meats.

The snow lay thick upon the gvound, and j
still continued to full heavily, causing the
face of the surrounding scene to look more
wild and lonely than ever. As Mrs. Pollard
sat in the small front apartment of the house,
her fears gradually increased more and uitie,
us her imagination conjured up a thousand
dread forbodinjre, and almost fancied thut each
sound of the wind whistling through the Valley,
was some *one even now about to break
into the place. Time sped, when at length

He resided in a house some live or six
miles, and which was at least that distnncc
from any other. He had occupied it for
years, followed his present business, and disposed
of hi^meni hy taking it it in his wngon
to the diflferrnl families in the vicinity. Mrs.
Pollard had been unacquainted with him until
the time/of her marriage ; but the familliarity
arising from weekly visit to her house,
and the ctrdiality with which her husband
invariably received him, now inspired her
with more tonfidence towards him, than from
his looks lie would otherwise have done.
'fain so glad you are come P said Mrs.
Pollard as ihe butcher entered her dwelling.
( Johtt see bis father, who is not,

; ami I am nearly frightened to death
for xfo. have got more than a hundred sover

Woi't you stay and keep me company until
Joli 1 comes back V
luring the first part of this address, Godfrey
did not appear to listen with much appoint
interest; but the moment Mrs. Pol.
iar mentioned the money, his face assumed
an expression of singular import, and his
grot eyes Hashed quick glances from beneath
hik pert and shaggy brows, as though something
had suddenly moved him. * I nm ?nr_

Willi many thanks, Mia. Pol lard accepted
his ofler ; for she had olte>n heard her husband
speak of the courage and sagacity of the animal
in question.
4 Stay hcfc,' said Godfrey, now, ns lie looked
at his i og, and pointed within the room
with his fir jfer, 44 nnd see that you don't lei
any one co ne near.'
The dog which was a very large one, one
of the brcl iJ called 44 mnslaff,' answered this
command ?>f his master by wagging his tail
two or tlirfe lime:-, and looking tip in his face
villi nu intelligent expression ; and the next
noment crouching down by the side of Mrs.
>oIlnrd, stretched himself at full length upon
he hearth, as though at home.
When the butcher had departed, Mrs. iPolnrd
began to caress the dog, and for a long
ime endeavored to attract his attention, but
in Vain \ he continued to lie mute and motionless,
as thougU devoid of life. This cir;uinstance
raised htr fears anew ; for she beTrill

now, he woolo do so if any one chanced to
come to the H|?ce. Again she renewed her
caresses, anu finally offered him n pieJft of
meat; but still with the same success , the
tlog would neither appear to recognize her
presence, not would lie touch the meat.
The toll house consisted of two rooms, with
only one door entrance, and whicn was used
Us a bed room, and was lighted by a small
window ut the foot of the bed. The front
had two windows ; a tolerably huge one near
the door, and a small lattice, whose diamond
shaped squares of glass were encased within
thin plates of lead. To none of the windows
were there any shutters, with the exception
of the one in the bed room.
At the usual time, Mrs. Pollard retired to
rest, but in vain endeavoted to sleep ; the
dog still remaining in the same immoveable
positiou us when his master left him.
Tin tvcht ??'ns more chilly and dreary than
had been ih.? hay. The falling of snow had
gi :"! place 'o a heavy storm of commingled
slvc't nnd nun> whieh the wind now blew
against ih iscments with terrible force?
almost appearing as though it would raise
the house from its very foundation. Itseema
fitting night for deeds of blood ! Mrs. Pollurd
lay in her bed trembling, as her terror at
each rcpitition of the keen blast continued*
Stories of robbery and bloodshed increased,
which she hud heard years ago, now rushed
through her mind with vivid ?li?fin/-in?Bo .
und her imagination increased their ehormity
u thousand fold.
She Iny thus unable to sleep, until as near
she could guess, about midnight, when she
thought she heard the sound of a single foolstep
outside the house. She partly raised
herself, and bonding forward, listened for a
continuance of the sound with eager intentness.
She soon heard the step nguin, and
this tune distinctly. They now appeared to
be quite near. She now listened for the
dog's raising sonic alarm?but not the slightest
movement did he seenl to make, ller
terror suddenly raised 10 a great extent, at
the animal's not taking notice of the noise
outside. Another frioihent, and she heard a
sound as of sonic dnc removing the glass out
of the small caicmenl in the other room, immediately
followed b) the sharp click ef the
handle, which fastened it on the inside, turning
round. Still the dog gave 110 sound or
indication of what was going 011.
Mrs. Pollard was now ulmosL frantic with
excess of fear, feeling assured (hat she must
v in n few minutes he murdered.

Ceased, and all became still as death.
When daylight appeared, Mrs. Pollard
rose and dressed with us much speed as the
weakness nftd terror of the night had occasioned
would permit. She then sal down by
the window, to await the appearance of the
first person who might pass, for sire could not
summon sufficient courage to cuter the other
room alone. In a short time a teamster approached,
whom she hailed ; and Its soon as
lie had stepped near to wheru she was sealed,
told the sloiy of the previous night's adventure.

returned, with horror depicted on his
countenance, as lie exclaimed?" My God,
what a sight 1 have seen." He then got in
by the window at which Mrs. Pollard had
been seuted, and led the way to the other
room.
And what an object was then presented to
their view? Hanging on the sill of the casement
with the head and shoulders piotrud
ing through into the interior, was the body of
a man, whose throat was littcrally torn to
pieces I It was the body of Godfrey, the
butcher ! In his right hand he held n huge,
the blade of which was covered with blood,
for he had stabbed the dog several times during
the struggle. And fierce ti?*i stiugglc
must have been, for in his left hand was a
quantity of hnir which he hud torn from the
neck of the dog. The latter, at the moment
when they entered the room, was silting erect
on his haunches beneath the place where his
master was hanging, gazing with a fixed
look upon him ; and the blood was still flow
uig irom me sinus lie iiaci received.
Godfrey lind formed the resolution of rob
bing qui] murdering Mrs. Pollard, and
had left his dog with her us a means of effectually
warding off all suspicion fiom attaching
to himself; never for a single luonieni
doubting but llinl his dog would permit him
to enter the house unmolested. The faithfulness
and intelligence of the nnimnl was tluu
the instrument of punishment on his inustci
for the enormity of his crime he had intend'
ed to commit. The teamster dressed the
wounds of Dash, and than punned his journey.
Nor did Mrs. Pollard now feel any further
fear of staying alone, until the return
of her husband, after such a proof of llit
courage and sagacity of her brute protector.
Dash recovered from bis wounds, and was
ever kept by them with ns much care as tho'
he had been their child, nor could any
amount of money which might have been
offered for his possession, have tempted them
to part with him.
