THE MEXICAN GENERALS as bad set of scoun-
drcs as the members of the Old Junto of Indanapo-
lis.
To illustrate the treachery of Gen. Alvarez towards
Paroles. the story is circulated Vera Cruz that the
former who had the command of the forces at Ma
zatlan, was supplied with 81 100000 with which to
against the American squadron in the Pacific.
No sooner had Alvarez obtained the funds than he
pronounced against Paroles, kept all the money! and
even sold the cannon in the forts.
This is going it on the Beckwith principle distinct
ly- Do the Hoosers wish to try it by electing
Mr. Marshall!

Health I'm Camps.

Dr. Benjamin Rush was Surgeon General of the
the United States Army during greater portion OF
the Revolutionary War. The following statement
from him may not be inapplicable at this time:
..The army, when it laid in tents, was always
more sickly than when it lay in the open air; it
always more healthy when kept in motion than when
it lay in an encampment
militia officers and soldiers who enjoyed health
during the campaign, were often seized with fevers
upon their return to the rita nOS at their respective
homes. There was one instance of a militia captain
who was seized with commissions the first night he lay
on feather bed, after lying several months or a
mattress aud on the ground. The fever produced
BY the sudden change in the manner of sleeping,
living, &C. 1t was prevented, in many cases, by the
person lying, for few nights after his return TO his
family, on a blanket before the fire.
"Those officers who flannel shirts waist
coats next TO their skn general escaped fevers and
diseases of all kinds.
@ The native Americans were sickly than the
Europeans.
Men above thirty and thirty-ive years of age
the hardest soldiers in the army. Perhaps TINS
was the reason why the Europeans more healthy
than the native Americans; they were more advanced
in life.

the Boston Post remarks:

SHELBY CoUNTY.-We are informed that ]. M.
SLEETH Esq. is the regular democratic nominee for
the Legislature, from Shelby county. He is opposed
by Fletcher Tevis, of notorious memory, and who,
if the wings send up here again, will endeavor to
keep if there is any virtue in cdpias. But there is
little danger of it think if the good people of
Shelby study their own interests. Mr.. Sleeth has
ably represented that county, and we hesitate not
to say, is among the very best of legislators. To
supersede him by such rearing hypocrite Tevis,
would be an everlasting shame.

Gen. Taylor says Paroles has sent him word that if
