POISON AT WORK.

1t is stated in seine Of the New York papers
that an attempt has been made to poison Mike
Walsh, the fearless Subterranean, and homes,
man, who remains
=" Unbought by favor and unbribed by gain"
If such a ~distardly act has been committed, il
must be attributed TO the jealousy and envy of
those who affect TO walk in The higher ranks of life,
who without the ability to equal, or the courage
To face the man, have thus attempted to rid them,
selves Of a hated rival. Whoever he may be
that has done the deed, il he is ever found out, it
would be better that he had a millstone tied
around his neck. and he be thrown in the middle
of the sea. We rejoice to learn that there is
hopes of his recovery. The Globe says 81
~"ILLNEss OF Mr.. WALsu.-A gentleman
called at our office last evening, and informed us
that he had just left the attending physicians of
MIR. Walsh, at his residence, and they informed
him that though seriously i'll. the symptoms of
his malady are favorable. We are authorized to
say 10 Mr.. Walsh's friends that his physicians in
sisi that no persons. except his nurses, will be
permitted TO visit him"

The dismissal of that excellent man for opinions

mon wrong by those who esteem the freedom of
conscience more than party prejudices. Gov.
Wright was not answerable for this inuuisitorial
act, but there is positive evidence of It's having
alienated many of his Methodist supporters, in
various parts of the State. In this city the per-
sonal efforts of Mike Walsh and his devoted parti-

GEN. VIM. O. BUTLER.

We have heard the attempts to paint the lily,
gid refined gold, OF adding a perfume to the vio-
let, spoken Of as absurdiiies; and we should think
the efforts made by the friends of Gen. Butler to
sustain his character for bravery OF patriotism, the
very acme Of ridicule. We think also that the
great fuss that has been made about an Incidental
remark which appeared in the Baltimore Sun,
whose editors, we believe, are as true friends as
the General has, is the same that the Devil got
when he sheared the pig. "great cry and little
wool" Gen. Taylor spoke Of Butler in his first
dispatches with high praise, and we have yet to
learn that the opinion of an individual letter writer
has the power, whether correct or incorrect, of
injuring such a man as Gen Butler. The follow
ing parag raph which we find in the keystone is
a sufficient commentary on all that has been
said -
THE gallant Gen. WIN. o. Butler, whom some
Of the Wing papers are Indirectly libeling,
when but a boy of twenty years [as we are
reminded by the Cincinnati ADVERTISED ran the
gauntlet Of Indian rifles at the River Raisin, in

were picking out and destroying our men and

and some controversy ensuing as to the right mode
of doing the work, the mate seized him by the

hoped The captain would not omnit murder on

consider his life safe with him, but should try other
