we had the pleasure Of meeting an old friend,
General Lamar, Ex-PreSident Of Texas-a
man i'll whose person is combined, in the
highest degree, the best qualities of the
knights OF the middle ages. He is a warrior
and a poet-a gomGncier and statesman-a
mar whose agreeable social qualities are only
oquaIIed hy his Puncflious and unscathed
honor. After spending the sumnaer with his
friends in Georgia, he is now on his way to
his adopted country-a country at present suf-
ferlng under the most extreme ~pecuniary diff
f~cu}ties, and distracted hy unwise and rash
cnuasels- The presence of General lamar.
will, we trust, serve greatly to ameIiorate her
condition.
