MIR. JOHN L. DORSEY.

Mr.. John l.. Dorsey was lately entrusted by
the Department of State TO bear public des-
patches TO Mexico. With Mr.. Dorsey we have
ourselves but slight acquaintance, but under
stand he is man of talents, as lawyer and a
writer, and we never heard any thing against
his reputation. He is the son of our neighbor
at Bladensburg, the Hon. Clement Dorsey, for
mprly member of Congress, and now an eminent
Judge in Maryland. But the Louisville Journal,
true to the maignity of its own instinct, and
drawing its supplies Of calumny, we presume
from its Washington correspondent, occupies
itself with applying every sort and term Of
reproach to Mr.. Dorsey. AS he cannot
defend himself at the moment this carniv-
orous faction sets its teeth in him, we have
thought it our duty to inquire little into the
matter, and we find that Mr.. Dorsey was re-
commended, not indeed for this, but for much
higher employment, not only by many of thu
most distinguished gentlemen in Maryland,
but by numbers Of the members of Con
gress, including, we understand, all, or near
" all, the Maryland delegation, and other
members, among the most devoted friends
Of Mr.. Clay. So it goes. Clay men, either
alone or uniting with others, press persons on
the Departments for employment, and wher
appointed, the Clay presses fall foul Of them
with every species of abuse On the present
occasion, we invite the particular attention o.
the members of Congress from Maryland to the
manner in which the Louisville Journal, and
other kindred presses, treat gentleman fol
whom they have manifested 50 much interest
and regard

Profit, Fillmore, Gushing and Rhett, its further
consideration wai postponed until Thursday

The House then went into a Committee Of

GEN. J. r. FENWICK.

Our readers were few days since informed of the
death of the gallant General J. r. FENwIcK, which
took place at Marseilles the 18th OF March, Will
Their he had gone for the improvement of his health
On his way from Paris to that place. he took severe
cold, which induced apoplexy. Confident that many
Of our readers in this city and elsewhere will take
pleasure in recurring to of the prominent points
in the military career Of one Of the Oldest and most
respected officers of the Army, we present them with
the following facts in his history:
General FENwIcK was born in Charleston, South
Carolina and from note contained in Major Gar
denis Notices of Incidents" it appears that he was
ain infant at the time of the evacuation OF Charles
ton during the Revolutionary War. His life was
preserved at this critical juncture in the history OF
his country by female relative. He was early IN
life distinguished for his literary requirements,
having received his education in England where the
gseatest attention was paid to his studies.
Fired with spirit OF patriotism so common 70 the
men of his day, on the 10Th of November, 1879, he
Marines, which post he held with great credit and
honor until the year 1910, when he was appointed
Lieutenant Colonel of Light Artillery. On the lSth
of March, 1913, he brevetted as Colonel for his
gallant conduct the Niagara frontier" At he
memorable battle on Queenstown Heights, in Canada
in the year 1912, this distinguished soldier lost an
eye, and was otherwise horribly wounded. So great
was the injury sustained by him on that occasion,
that grea, fears for while entertained of his re-
covery h.ia.
In the reduction anG VI 'ic nitpy ~
1922, he assigned to the command of the 4h Re-
giment of Artillery, as Colonel, then stationed ct
Pensacola Florida
On the 18th OF March, 1923, he was brevetted as
Brigadicr General For several years the head quar-
tiers of the 4th Artillery established in this city;
and here as well as elsewhere, he was extensively
known, and enjoyed more of the esteem and respect
of his fellows than commonly fall to the lot OF man,
General FENwIcK was gallant soldier and po-
lshed gentleman, and extremely LIBERAL yet per-
fectly unostentatiaus, in his charities. He now
sleeps the sleep of the dead" in foreign country,
far removed from the land of his BIRTH the scene of
his noble daring and manly exploits; but his name,
intimately interviewer with the glory and history of
his country, shall endure long the torch of ber
~ remains unquenched, and men continue to revere

MIR. TYSON.

We recur again to this gentleman's rejection
/. tho Senate, because we cannot but regard
,bat rejection as an act Of great injustice, and
.. prompted by very bad spirit. We speak
,aioly. and we mean TO do so. Mr.. Tyson was
an Efficient supporter OF General Harrison, and
dole for the important place Of Collector of Phi
ladelpha. General Harrison was well acquaint-
edwilh Mr. Tyson, had very high regard for
him. and if he had lived, would probably have
olyen him that appointment. We undertake to
say, that no man ever brought more satisfactory
testimonials of fitness for Office, than were pre-
seuted for Mr.. Tyson. But the nomination for
the Philadelphia Custom-house was not made
when President Harrison died. On coming into
office. the present President saw fit to nominate
Mr.. Roberts for Collector, and Mr.. Tyson for
surveyor; and this nomination of Mr.. Tyson
the Senate unanimously confirmed. General
Ewing, Commissary Of Purchases, having de-
ceased, Mr. Tyson was nominated to fill that
place, and Col Watmough, gallant officer OF
he late war, was made Surveyor.
MIR. Tyson's nomination has now been re-
iected upon --, we will not say what
grounds until more is known, and we hope more
will soon be known. The truth is, that there
are certain Wing Senators, who, whenever a
Wing is nominated for Office, not supposed to
be favorable to their particular Clique, join with
the Locoloco members to reject him. This is
the matter, which we mean 10 keep before the
eyes of the People.
