There certain distinctions in regard to this case
which j, is iniportsnt to k ep in mind
He has been indicted Tor murder, and so NAV he
presumed to have committed murder Ifi,e defends
himself on the ground that he committed the homicide
under compulsory orders which do away with his in
diviual guilt he should show the fact oil the orders hy
legal proofs. This was The position assumed by Mr..
Van Buren,.
The position assumed by Mr. Webster is that the
" avowai" OF the Transaction in which the homicide
occurred by the British Government is Of itself valid
ground OF defence for Mcleod
There IL a vital distinction between these two po-
si,ions
The guilt or innocence Of Mcleod depends upon
the question, whether not in the affair of the Caro-
line, he did really act under compulsory orders
The British Government may "avow =" f.r certain
purposes, transactions which 1t never authorized in
point of fact
In this very case they waited three years before
they made an 'avowal,' and then only and for the
first time, after McIcud's arrest
hs looks as II the "svowal' was pretext tn get
Mcleod oH
The guilt or innocence Of Mcleod does no, depenl
upon avosas or dsavowals but upon the fact itself
whether or not he acted under couguisou
And this fact ought to lie settled by ury under
legal proof jus like any Other fact
Furthermore, Mr. Van Buren's administration a.
sumed the position that the question, whether or not
Mcleod should he discharged, If he show, thai
he acted under orders was question to be settled ia
dicially by The court that tried him.
In other words Nj. Van Buren, left Mcleod to be
tired like any other accused person,
Ii he claimed TO have acted under orders he was

the combat in sight Of his lady love, at a
tournament Of the olden time, formed no.,
more spirit stirring or pleasure inspir-
ing spectacle than does Mexican Ran
chero in pursuit of buffalo calf to en-
snare it with larim. The luriat is a
rope somewhat twenty feet in length and
even thirty, made of hemp generally
but frequently formed from plated strings
OF buffalo hide, softened we'll to obtain
the necessary pliability ; one end is
turned into slipnoose, and the use of
both hands is required in throwing the
rope. The Mexican springs upon his
horse; caring little whether there is any
thing more than blanket upon the ami
mails back, and with the lafiat coiled and
divided, the moose end and two-thirds of
The rope in his right hand and the other
end firmly secured in his lefL) he claps
knees and spurs into his steed and darts
away like an arrow, often with the bride
in his teeth. The buffalo cows are far
swifier in flight than the bulls, and al.
ways keep the lead when pursued. The
calves never lag behind their dams, but
strain their tough young limbs into full
as swift speed and keep ever close by
the parents side. During "a hunt, The
calf seems almost under the COW, and so
continues, scarcely varying its gait SO as
to advance or fall behind by any percep-
ttible difference. IA

EXTRAORDINARY REooo,,r,o,

EXTRAORDINARY RECoGNlTIoN.-A
most singular and extraordinary incident
took place in this city last week. Two
brothers have been living fartwenty wears
within hundred yards of each other il,
nelghborlng streets, and the consanguity
was never known until most trivial acei.
dent few days ago developed the story.
The particulars are Of too remark table a
nature to escape publicity, although the
names We must withhold. The brothers
were born in Paris, and were, orphans at
SO early an age as 10 have no recollection
of their parents. While yet children, am
accidental explosion Of gunpowder, with
which they were playing, marked an indei.
ibe scar upon the cheek of one and render.
ed useless for life finger of the other. s.
They were separated while still infants
and taken care of by strangers--one after
wards following the sea as cabin bow
Tor many years, the other remaining an
apprentice in Paris. The cabin bow
when fifteen years old found himself in
this city, and obtaining employment more
to his fancy than rowing the waves, he
abandoned salt water and applied himself
to another pursuit. Even a, this time his
brother was residing in the neighborhood,
and they became acquainted and have con.
versed with each other daily almost from
then till now. Both were industrious
and have gradually improved their condi-
uon in life, until now they are surrounded
by the comfortable rewards of thrift.
Each remembered the incident which &C.
Cured during childhood and knew that
he had then brother, but this was all.
The other evening one of the brothers
collected circle of friends to witness the
christening of his first grandchild, and his
old familiar neighbor round the corner was
among the guests. Accident brought the
mutila,ed finger into notice, and the histe-
ry of twas of course told, when the de-
light and surprise of the whole party may
be imagined at the old neighbor abruptly
giving the history of the scar on his cheek
and claiming his long lost brother. Each
had retained the original family name, bu.
it had been SO altered in spelling that
neither ever detected the similarity
There was quite dramatic denouement,
when the old friends mutually. explained
became convinced oflhe relationship, and
rushed into each others arms as brothers.
