A TRUE AMERICAN.

The following excellent story is told by
the Philadelphia Chronicle
a veteran in the naval service of the Uni
ted States, lately attached to the United States
ship North Carolina, now lying oil the Bat
terry. New ork, named John Wolfendcn. has
retired from active life, after serving his coun-
try faithfully, honestly, and noblv, for forty
five years. Wolenden is now seventy-seven
years old, and has been persuaded by officers
III the service TO retire, and spend his DAYS in
the Naval Asylum, in the county of Phiiadel-
Phia. Capt. Gregory, Of the North Caroline.
last spring told the gallant old tar it would be
better for him TO quit the service; the old
man, after twisting and turning, twi.chng his
trousers, and cleaning his mouth of an "oid
soger," repiled-"l don't think, Captain, as
how it would look well for me TO leave active

! Soon after it had been announced that Lord
! Ashburton had concluded the treaty settling

application 10 Capt Gregory, for his discharge
and admission into the Asylum, saving, "that
now the boundary question was settled,
thought might as well go, and besides, YOU
know, Captain, if any thing turns up, car
come back again" Captain Gregory, accord

Navy Department, stating old Wolfenden':
long service and exemplary character, and the
Secretary wrote letter to the weather beaten

! qualities, aud ordering the letter Of honorable
discharge TO be read in the presence of tho
whole crew, including :hc old'un but VOL

THE UNIVERSAL SWEET POTATO.

IIe following amusing illustration of the
diversified uses to which Sweet Potatoes NAV
be applied, we extract from Col. Claiborne's
graphic sketches Of "Trip through Tic Piacy
Moods" in the eastern part Of Mississippi.
In answer TO our eager shout a female voice
inatsounded most benignandy, babe us "light.''
we walked i'll drcnched and dripping. and
lound ourselves at the residence Of all aged
widow, who with four daughters and three
sons have lived there many years, their near
est helghbor being twelve miles Off They
owned large stock of cattle, and the three
boys (as the good mother called her sons, who
were tall enough for Prdssian grenadicrs) were
'hen absent with a drove. Finding ourselves
welcome, we stripped our horse, and led him
TO small stable that stood hear. We found
the trough filed with potatoes, and the rack
with hay made Of the dried vines. Our horse
ate them with great relish. On this farm, as
on most of tive othcrs in the same locality, Il
lew acres are cow2encd and planted in corn,
Tor bread an acre or two for rice; but the
main crop is the street. P0tdto Some nations
boast OF their palm tree, which supplies them
with food, oil, light fuel, shelter aud clothing
but it will be seen that we have in the po-
tato, staple article, scarcely inferior TO it. 1t
will grow upon soils too thin TO produce corn,

From the Louisville Journal.

"The power Of the President has increased, is
increasing, and ought TO be diminished" Many
striking facts might be cited in illustration of this
lameniable truth. Judge M'Lean tells pleasant
story Of what occurred when he was Postmaster
General during the Administration Of President
Monroe. The President wrote him letter, re-
commenting d couple of individuals for appoint
menis III very strong terms. MIR. MLean soon
made some inquiries to The persons recommen-
ded, ana then quietly passed them by and appoip-
ted others without thinking it worth his while to
say anything 10 the President upon the subject
either verbally or by letter. Some time after
wards, he met Dir. Monroe, when the latter walk
ed up to him with smile and shaking him cord-
ally by the hand, remarked, pleasantly :"Weil,
sir, so perceive that have not enough .inlu-
ence with you TO be able 10 procure the appoints
ment of couple Of subordinates in your depart
ment." why. sir," said Mr.. Nj Lean, II should
really have been pleased to oblige you, but in-

found that could make better appointmenfs."-.

you are right and The matter was never men
