Gen. Hou;ton.-,The Columbia OBJ
server relates the following scene con-
nectcd with the remarkable history Of
this man:
When Gen., Houston abdicated the
Office of Governor of this State, he left
his home, eschewed civilized life. and
sought new home and a new wife a.
mong the Indians in The far west, where
he lived for some years. On his return
to Nashville, there we're none-perhaps
only one person--Who treated linn olh-
crwise than with neglect or contempt, so
low had the wheel OF fortune, or rather
his disso|ute lie, turned him. He was
now in an Indian costume-at least he
wore the cap, hunting-shirt and mecca
sins. This was his second love.
Slung, no doubr, with modification
for this cold neg'ecr ofsome, and open
contempt for others, he, bore himself
with equal Indifference towards the COM

ropeau correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, uses the following Ian
guage; in reference to the present royal
family of France: "The alliance be-.

gland forebodes no good to America !;
although it is but too probable that it
will not survive the death of Louis Phil

10 have thought of this, and provided
even for such an emergency candidate

Should ii become necessary: for the
French Government to 60 10 war, there
is still the Prince de Joinvile, who will
