A highly interesting incident is mentioned
in The Mississippi papers, as having occurred
during a days soJouFn Of General JACKSON at

given him. Just before sitting down 10 the
dinner a deputation Of two youths from the Sc
minary was introduced, ard delivered brief
Addrtsato The general, OF which, and of his
reply The following arc copies. The address
and answer deserve TO be recorded. Though
not as imposing, perhaps, as Tive more formal
act Of legislative body, tic address Of these
youths cannot but have been truly grateful TO
any man Of that generous feeling which shines
through all gen Jackson's conduct. Itpfeeents
beautiful picture Of the efficacy Of history and

generous ardOr IN the cause Of their Country,
