J greatest commanders, statesmen, orators. and
philosophers, that ever appeared in the world-on
author who composed perfect specimen of mil.
Itary annals IN his travelling carriage-at one
time in controversy with Cato, at another wri.
ting treatise on punning, and collecting set of
good sayings-fghting and making love at the
same time, and willing TO abandon both his empire
and his mistress for sight Of the Fountains of
the Nile. Such did Julius Cesar appear to his
contemporaries, md to those of the subsequent A.
ges who where the most inclined to deplore and
execrate his fatal genus.--Byron.
Arrest Of Joe SmiM.-The St. Louis New Era
OF the lst inst, brings us the following inteIIi.
gence OF the nrress of Joe Smith, tho Great Hiob
Prest OF Mormonism, and Commander in Chief
of the Nauvoo Legion:
"A gentleman from Peoria reports that Joe Smith
passed through that place on Wednesday last.
ol oPr,nSned. lie was in carriage, in the GUS
'oay OF officers, and they crossed the ferry
without stopping in town. The steamboat Maid
y. io"a passed Peoria on Tuesday, and could not
> iia'e reached Httawa until after Joe Smith had
, started for Springfield. '''
we are told, and it is stated on the authority of
leading Mormon preacher now in this citv. that
half a dozen citizens of Missouri nor,ic;n.tsd in
the arrest of Joe Smith; that when this was ,c.
complshed, Joe procured writs to be issued against
them, which were executed, ard not being abIo to
give bail, they were put in PRISON. that the Mis-.
sourlans sent an express to their neghborhood for
AID, and declared that one hundred men would
come TO ther rescue, and secure the person of Joe
Smith; and that 1t was to meet this body of mon
that large numbers of the Nauvoo Le cion were
despatched for Ottawa. by land and water.
Libels on Royaly.-A short time since, ipfor-
nation was secretly communicated to the French
Government, that work, in the highest degree
Il
deiamelory OF The Queen. was preparing some.
where other. The Lieutenant of Police MT
Paris commissioned Goupil an Inspector, to make
inquiries into the matter, and find out the author
lie came IN short time, and reported that the
work was printing at a country houss near Yyer-
dun. he brought with him two printed shests
containing the basest slander, but fabricated with
such extraordinary art and magnty, as to ap-
pear extremely probable. GoupI said that he
should be able to get possession of tho WHOLE but
ior that purpose considerable sum would be re.
qured He furnished with 1000 louis d'ors.
1t was not long before he brought the whole of
the monuscrp pit to the Lieutenant, and was paid an
additional sum of 1000 louis d'ors as a reward
for his zeal and exertions. lie was on the point
of being promoted in more lucrative situation,
disclosed that GoUpIL was himself the author Of
the libel in question!-Erchange Paper.
4 Huge Snake.-It is well known that there
have been divers rumors through town relative to
a large monster, which, it was said, was seen
above this place short time ago. Each account
we SO distorted by an exaggeration that
we concluded it TO be felton, hoax to test the
crcdulity of the town;SlSt we have since learned
tha, such huge anmif las been actually seen.
We had the circumstances from gentlemen of ve-
raclty. son Of Mr.. Spillmnn, and a son of
l1oagland, on last Friday week, about one mile
| and half above this place, on the Kentucky side
Of tho river, whio walking along the bank, saw in
the odge of the wafer an animal bearing every ap.
pearance of huge snake. They approached to
within about forty steps, when it took to water
and swan nearly to tho Indiana shore, when it
disappeared. Another gentleman who was riding
by, upon his attention being directed to it by the
boys, distinctly saw it, though it was near this
shore of the river, which proves il to have been
very large, to bo distinguished at such distance.
|: was supposed to be from tweaty to thirty feet
in length. 1t was of very dark color, and had
something like a shining svery ring about its
neck. Its trail in the sand and across the roads
has been seen. 1t has appeared several times
within few years, and abou. tho same place, and
has been seen by several persons.
We can form no conjecture to what kind of
animal it is, but that such nlonstrous amphbous
nondescript has been seen we have no hesitancy
in believng.-Madison (Ia.) Neus.
Treasury Notes.-The Secretary of the Trea-
sury refuses TO redeem tho stolen notes now in
the hands of third parties. They having been
once paid, and the word "cancelled" taken ou by
fraud. He says there is no appropriation by law
for the redemption of stolen Treasury notes. The
Secretary is doubtless right, and it will require
the action Of Congress to provide for the relief Of
those who have been duped by the rascality of
Breedove and Holiday. We shouldIike to see
the long silence which has been suffered to rest
over this matter satisfactorily explained Vicks-
burg Sentinel. szS
Some Of the Now York editors are struck with
President Tyler's extraordinary aununciation to
the Mayor of that city, in the following words:
''For know you Mr.. Mayor, that Virginian
stands before yow." Indeed, we ourselves, Virgin
ians though we be, cannot help wondering that his
Mayorship neither tainted nor threw up his eyes
at so astounding q revelation!-Norfolk Va.)

steamboat, Just before sho reached st. Louis, on
the Sd inst, and 81 coo in gold was found in his
