BIRDNEsTING EXTRAORDINARY - FORTUNATE Es-
o,rE.-About the 25th ult. a lad named Gregory, u
years Of age, an inmate Of the West London Union
House, at Edmunton, England conceived the idea of
robbing sparrows nest which was made in the brick
ing To accomplish his exceedingly hazardous in
tcntion the little fellow had TO make his way through
a strong iron grating the bars of which were placed
so close together that it would be considered almost
impossible to pass the head of infant through but
he nevertheless managed, by extraordinary
workings and exerons ofthe body squeeze through.
He had next to climb up to the top Of chimney
six feet high, unaided by any other means than that
which his hands and feet afforded him, and this he,
with wonderful dexterity, accomplished. Seated on
the chimney top he drew from the nest three young
spsrrows, and carefully put them in his bosom, and
was about to descend with his prize, when unfortu-
natcly part Of the brickwork gave way and he fell
to the ground, distance no less than al feet Some
of tie inmates seeing the accident rushed to the spot
expecting TO find the young adventurer smashed to
pieces but to their great surprise and pleasure they
found him able to get up his legs, and only com
planned of an injury of one Of his arms. His ankle
for the safety of the young sparrows seemed great
er than his injuries, and he quite delighted that
they received no injury. He examined by the
surgeon of the Union, who found his arm fractured,
but with the exec pton of this and few slight Drus-
es, he had received no further injury. The young
sufferer has since been visited by many OF the mem
beis Of the board of guardians and has been an OBJ
ect of curiosity TO all who have viewed The scene OF
his exploits.

have joined together in their assaults on the
Secretary OF the Treasury for the par! which was

ATRocIoUs OUTRAGE NEW ORLEANs.-On the
10th instant, Mr.. Josiah Converse, young man in
the employ of w. s. j. Bryant received an anony-
nous letter, requesting him to come to house on
the GENTLY road, the Poutchartran railroad on
some business; and believing it to be genuine he
started on horseback. About o'clock in the even
ing his horse returned alone the bride being cut and
broken. This information being communicated TO
his brother, of the firm Of Converse Co., immediate
earch instituted. At the bend Of the old canal
about 800 yards from the Pontchartran railway the
party in search OF the missing young man. discovered
the ground evident marks Of bis having been drag
ged from his horse, and Of desperate struggle hay-
ing taken place in the vicinity. A little farther on
they found his coat torn TO tatters and in the woods
close by, a fragment of his pantaloons On the bank
OF the canal, great many scraps Of paper
found indicating that letters other papers had been
torn scattered TO the winds. Nothing, however,
could be learned calculated to unravc the mystery,
until O'Clock IN the evening, when Mr.. G. himself
returned home alone TO his dwelling, and he

Of extreme wretchedness and wo.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM GENERAL
JACKSON.

We had no idea, when first opening an old
volume Of the Gobc-that of I641-that we
were about TO discover an inexhaustible mine of
documents, with which we would be enabled so
triumphantly TO disprove the false assertions,
and overthrow the himsy Arguments of Mr..
Blair in lS43.
In that volume we not only find that the Pre-
sidents course as a consistent Republican, was
completely established by The incontrovertibIe
deductions of Mr.. Blair himself, by all the lead
ing Democratic editors, but also by the most dis.
tinguished statesmen and patriots in the conn
try, headed by GENERAL JACKSON.
On the goth October, 1871, General Jack son
addressed the following letter TO the committee
of invitation who had solicited him to partake
of public dinner to be given in Nashville.
We append only that portion of the letter 1--WE
copy it from the Globe,) which refers particular
ly to Pr, sdent Tyler:
HERMITAGE, Oct. 20, ls4l.

at large, on having at the head of the Government
President who, upon question: at least has a
strict and conscientious regard for the Constitution
who has not swcrved from his integrity in tho d;s
charge OF one OF the highest duties deyoyng ON the
Execuuye-Who has preserved his own conssteno,
by averting the blow aimed at our liberties throuoi

that this free and most perfect system of civil govern
ment may be administered by MEN and not by MONEY
And, gentlemen, may add that In the ability and de
termination of the President to maintain the Govern
ment on principles purely Republican,, have The
most abiding confidence.
Accept for yourselves and for those whom you re
present, my best wishes.
Your fellow-citiZen,
ANDREW JACKSON.
Messrs. j. p. HARDwICKE and others, committee.
The importance of such expressions from the
pen of General Jackson is UNNECESSARILY in
creased, when we take into consideration how
widely Mr.. Tyler and himself differed on one
or two measures of his administration. II proves
as we have before asserted that although they
were opposed, in principle, on one or two Incl
dental topics, yet their general politics were the
confiding intimacy, never experienced Interrupt
ton. General Jackson knew, (and so expressed
himself that Mr.. Tyler's opposition to the prin-
ciples of the Proclamation arose from honest
convictions, and not from factious impulses.
He applauded rather than upbraded him. And
Mr.. Tyler notwithstanding the contrary has
been asserted, VOTED FOR HIM BOTH
IN 1928 AND 1882.
In contrast with the declaration of the revered
hero we will simply give one of the declarations
of the Globe OF yesterday:
"To suppose that the Democratic party may nomi-
nate Mr. Tyler for the Presidency, is to suppose that
it is destitute of political principle"
Exalted must be the political principles of Mr..
Blair in his own mind when compared with
those of the man whom General Jackson con
fdes in But the Globe would even dictate
sentiments 10 General Jackson. The man who
defrauded General Jackson by effec,ing the Goa
lition between Clay and Adams-who plumber
ed the Government of thousands for printing
&C personal vindications"-w brbed a Govern
ment clerk to violate his duty-who charged
Messrs. Clay and Calhoun with having formed
coalition on the Compromise, denounced The
enactment, and then unblushngy assailed Pre-
sident Tyler for repeating it when he had done
no such thing-we ask if the man who has done
these things, and many others, and worse,
which will be enumerated and expatiated on
at the proper time, is the proper person to i'm
pute to President Tyler deslItution of political
principle? And this, 100, after he had labored
with all his faculties in 1S4l to convince the ma
ton that Mr. Tyler was among the greatest
of patriots and statesmen
We predict that the time is not distant when
the friends Of Mr. Van Buren, will express their
dsapprooation Of the Globes course.

III the editor Of the Adperiiser canno believe that

inc town and ward meetings, and Of the county con-
vebohs which have passed resolutions in favor of Mr.

And oil those democratic papers which have expressed
themselves avoraby to it, It's true no one can shut
his eyes to the fact that ninety mine hundredts of
the democracy Of the State of New York are in favor
of the nomination of Martin Van Buren"-for the
reason that no such fact exists If he has forty
hundreths IN his lavor, there must be more in other
sections of the state than there are in this region as
any one can readily ascertain by becoming conversant
with the feelings and sentiments of the people instead
OF drawing their conclusions from the wishes of those
who make It trade Of policy. The last sentence
we should think is not regular seguifur of the pro-
