Clipper says, this veteran soldier and
politician seems resolved 10 enter III the
race for the Presidential plate; and we
see no reason why he should not. Asa
preliminary 10 this important step, his
Biography is to be published by Mr..
William Emmons of Washington city.
Whether the colonel be successful or NOT.
W e shall be glad TO have a faithful nara
tive of his life, and particularly of his
military exploits. Snch a work, indie
pendent of present qualification, will aid
the future historian in narrating the
events of our country. We should be
pleased to have the biographies of all of
our distinguished citizens-and able wri-
tiers could not do the public a better SER
vice han by employing their talents on
such subjects.
The biography of any of our distin-
guished men, if written by an unbiased
MUD, VIII always be sought after ard
read with q great deal ofinterest by the
great mass ofthe people. But a Presi-
dent making Biography, is a bird Of
another colour.

In Mettmoras, on the 18th ut.

the town was attacked hy apirty OF
$50 Texans, under the command Of
Generals FiSi e. (the same who ca.
pi,ulated with CanaIes) and Green.
When daylight appeared, they took
10 the houses. and from the windows
shot the enemy down as fast as they
were stationed at the cannon Thus
the fight continued from house to
house. laying The Mexicans in heaps
when they attempted to iorm; hat
from their superior force, the Tex,
ians could not retreat from the walls
which protected them. Late in the
afternoon 4 nig of truce vas hoisied

allowed. At that expiration the ca.

the proper officers. The loss of the
Mexicansa amounted to 400 killed, and
1870 wounded, and many who cied

DOCTORS WILL DIFFER.

In looking over the various papers ed
tied by Mr.. Miller's followers, I was in
duced for personal qualification, TO ex-
anime his calculations, and also the pro-
phecies of Daniel; and as it is a custom
when doctors differ for each TO give his
views, l take the liberty of forwardingt to
you the result of my researches, in order
that those who may have become alarm
ed nj those predictions may examine for
themselves, and come to a conclusion of
their own.
The whole of the prophecy will be
found in Daniel, and is as follows, viz:
553 years before Christ, the prophecy
commenced, and was to be into 23O0
days, (prcphetic years. till the taking
away of the daily sacrilice-Daniel, 9Th
chapter and 18th and l4th verses. And
the time of the end was to be unto 1890
days from the taking away of the daily
sacriiice-Daniel, 18th chapter, 18th and
18th verses. Now, it it is evident that
the prophecy was given in the year of
the world "Anno Lucis" 345l, and was
10 be unto the taking away of the daily
sacrifice, 1900 days, which, added to-
gether, would make the taking away of
the daily sacrifice come in the year Ammo
Lucis 575l, and be the year of our Lord,
Ammo Domini l747, and from that time
unto the end was to be 1890 days, pro
phetic years, which added 10 the above,
would be A. L. 704l, and A. D 3O37.
which clearly appears 10 be the end of
Daniels prophecy. Now, as doctors
sometimes change prescriptions 10 the in
jury of their patients, | would advise all
who may peruse this, 10 take the pre-
scription of neither the one nor the other,
but prepare 10 meet their Lord and mas
ter; for no man knoweth when he lieth
down at night, that he will rise again in
the morning; neither does he know when
he rises in The morning that he will lie
down again at night. l remain very re-

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND AssAssISA-
rIoN.-We are informed by a gentleman
from Lincoln county, that a most horri-
bic murder was perpetrated on the eve
ming of the 18th inst. in the vicinity Of
New Hope, in that county. The circum-
stances as related 10 us, are these: On
the evening ofthc l3thinst., as Mr.. Jor-
dan NJ, Gibson was returning home from
the house of a neighhnur- nnrnmnanief
by his wife, he was mel by one Reuben
jackson, who after exchanging 4 few
words with Mr.. Gibson. drew q piSto'
and shot him dead, in the presence ofhis
wife. 1t is said that a misuDaerstand-
ing had for some time existed between
Gibson and jackson, in relation to The
pre-emptisn right TO a piece of land.
which is supposed to have led to this "a
tal result.
The murderer, we regret TO add, made
his escape but from the visilant eff.
forts that are being made to secure him.
it is presumed that he will not long es-
cape the just punishment Of his daring
and bloody crime.

leading organ Of Ike Democracy of dis
souri.-We have been a good deal anus
ed at The apparent zeal Of the editors of
the Jefferson Inquirer, in their fimsy
and miserable efforts, 10 expose what
they are pleased 10 term The political
heresy Of Mr.. Penn. of the Reporter.
A part oftbe secret of this rnprovoked
persecution is found in the unspeakable
daring oftlie editor of the Reporter, in
presuming TO advance opinions which arc
charged by The editors OF the Inquirer,
TO be at variance with the views of the
great head of the democratic church, but
which on the contrary, are found 10 be
in perfect harmony with the opinions q
a portion Of the most orthodox Of the
democratic party, among whom we will
instance Mr.. Benton, who says: s
81 am not for an exclusive specie cur
rency, nor the destruction of our solvent
State Banks, but | would regulate them
into fair banking privileges, or Danish
them from the land"
MIR. Benton's opinions are referred 10
by the whole Democratic family, as good
authority upon all questions of doubtful
utility. VIII the Inquirer question The
Democracy of Mr.. Benton? We believe
it will not. 1t follows of course, then,
that the Democratic party never have
commended for an exclusive metallic cur
rency.
We would recommend TO the Inquirer
TO cease the cry of "mad dog" and per-
nit the Reporter to enjoy The @laurels he
has SO nobly won. For il will rot be de-
MED that he has achieved q victory in
St. Louis in a few short months, that
those who went before him had been Ia
bouring for years TO accomplish without
success. Victory never perched upon
the Democratic standard in St. Louis CT
iy or county, until Penn took the helm.

We notice nothing of general interest
in the proceedings of our Legislature,
with the exception of The bill TO regulate
executions in Justices Courts, which
was passed by the House on the Sd inst.
The bill provides that all executions is
sued by a Justice of the Peace shall run
80 days, and shall then be renewable for
80 days longer. This, we presume, is
intended as a relief measure, and a pref
ty strong n it is. 1t is really fortunate
for the dear people thai the Legislature
will not meet again for two years. other
wise they might all be kilt by sheer kind
