A telegram from Washington hat announ
ced the death of Quartermaster General
Thomas S. Jesup, of the United States
army. Ilo was seventy-two years of age.
General Jesnp wus born In Virginia, and
entered the army May 3, 1808, as a Second
Lieutenant in tho Seventh Regiment of
Infuntry. lie took aa actiro part iu the
war of 1812-13-14, and puticipated in the
battles of Qucciistown, Chippewa, Niag
ara and Lundy's Lane, and was contempo
rary with General Scott and Wool in those
memorable engagements. General Jesup
at the battle of Chippewa held the rank of
Major, but for his gallant services he was
promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Col
onel by the President of the United States.
In May, 1818, he waa promoted to a
Brigadier Generalship, and in Ion years
after, viz: 1828, he was brcvetted Major
General. . ,
During the Creek war In Georgia and
Alabama, in 183G, Goneral Jesup was
actively i-rcagcd. , .
As Quartermaster Central, the name of
General Jesup necessarily tors not appear
largely iu our military annuls, but it is to
the efficiency and good management of
this important department, that the sacccss
of our army iu the field is due. General
Jesup's surviving family consists of three
daughters and two sons. ,
Congressional. The Senate bns re
ceded from its amendment to tho Pacific
Telegraph bill, and agreed to tht llouse
ameudment, allowing the Portmnster Gen
eral to advertise for proposals to build tho
lino. It has now passed both Houses.
In the House the Senate amendment to
the appropriation bill, appropriating $3,
400,000 for the payment of the Oregon and
Washington Iudian war debt, was rulud
out of order.
The Pacific Railroad bill has been post
poned until the third Tuesday of December
next, on the ground that there is not time
for the proper consideration of tht bill.
. The Senate has ordered tba discharge
of Thaddeus Hyatt w ho was conGncd in

The Senate has postponed the tariff
bill till next December, by two majority.
The result will probably remain undisturbed
The Homestead bill, which was vetoed by
the President, lacked two rotes lu the
