Mr.. BENTON AVID Mr.. H~ANNEsAN.-The Re:
cent quarrel between these distinguished Sem
ators, reminds us of one Of Lovers inimitas
Bile Irish stories, which he related a few even
ing's since at the Annoy Hall. An Irish
squire, ~howas a great cock-fghter, directed
one Of his men to cary two fine cocks TO d
neighboring town; were q grand main was to
be fought. Paddy put them both into one bag
where they had a dreadful fight and killed
each other-the squire, Of course was ID q
towering passion at losing his fine birds and
his sport at the same time; and broke out in
the most furious manner at poor Peddy.-
"Why you stupid scouudrel did you not know
if you put the two birds together they would
kill each other!' Gan sure, phase your honor;
| didn't know it all at all, and never thought
they would quarrel, seeing they we're engaged
b. fight On The same sias.''--M O. Bulesla.

The following extract from a letterof Gen.
Butler, written At Monterey on the asth sePs

Butler, tho terms arc favorable towards us.
There are several strong forts still in the hands
ofthe enemy, which we would have been cons

Moss,-The following from the Ranter's
Banner We consider Of much importance to
the Planters Of Louisiana, particularly under
the present high price for cattle food Of all
kinds:
aAs an article Of food foE cattle, we would
strongly recommend the common moss that
grows so luxuriantly or our trees. 1t possess
SOS great nutrition properties, is succulcnt and
is eagerly sought after BY the cattle. As an
article Of food it is far superior to the com-
mon crab grass hay 1t can be procured with
much more ease and in far greater abundance
and 1t requires neither the trouble OF haul
ing or housing. The cattle will follow the
feeder, and eat it readily from the ground, as
il isthrown down to them. Thus natures not
sats6ed with covering the fields Of Louisiana
with a iuxuriance Of vegetation unSivalled,
save on the banks Of the Nile, has hung up q
winter harvest for her in the very air ITSELF"

Copy Of a Letter writtcn during the Rebellion
by Sir,---, an Irish member Of Partia-

"My dear sir,--Having now a little peace

the dreadful hustle and confusion we are in

French standard, but they had no %colors, no
any drums except bagpipes. Immediately every
man in the place including women and chill
dren, ran out to meet them. We soon founI
our force much too Titles and we were ia
too near to think Of retreating. Death was il
every face but to it we went, and by the tim
half our little party were killed, we began t
all be alive again. Fortunately, the rebel
had no guns, except pistols, cutlasses, an
} pixies; and as We had plenty Of guns and am
munition, we put them oil to the sword. No
a soul of them escaped, except some that wer
drowned in an adjacent bog; and in a yer

money which Mr. Mansfield paid you, and l
am happy to have it in my power to confirm
that opinion"
" It's forgery" cried Ryan.
"Found among the papers of Henry Mans
field, by his Observation-Disclosures to light
by what Wharton said to me, and proved by
comparison of dates"
Holmes had fixed his keen eye on Ryan,
and guilt stood upon the latter's face !; he turn
ed away, however, muttering something about
law, and justice and rights. The next morn
ing, nevertheless, he sent for MIR Collins to
receive check for twelve hundred and fifty
dollars in favor OF Mrs Mansfield and thus es-
capped criminal prosecution and Il disgrace
full exposure.
But did Mary Mansfield accept the twenty
dollars for her rejected manuscript? Yes,
and something more for SO much did her
virtues and talents win the favor of Wilmer,
and so much did his goodness and gentle man
lines, of character gain upon her heart, that
in good time she accepted his hand, and now
renders him important and essential aid in
conducting one OF the best journals of the
day.
Mrs Mansfield now lives with Mr. and Mrs
Wilmer, for she could not find happiness
apart from her child, and he has taken her
son, who gives indications of possessing fine
talents, from the counting room, and placed
him in one of our best colleges. Nor should
we forget to mention, that the whole Of the
note due to Mr. Holmes was obtained and adj
ded by him to Winners little capital, as a
marriage portion, on the day that interesting
event took place.

The shock was more than the poor Cir,
could bear. She thought not of literary fame,
and newspaper plauditS, these were to her as
nothing-but the hope of Il more certain and
abundant subsistence was crushed, and Il VIC

In the mean time, the rejected story was
picked up from a pile of rubbish where it had
been thrown,a and read by a journeyman print
er; he saw in it much that placed it far above
the usual average Of magazine literature, and
he offered it to the publisher Of a weekly pa
per.
The stony was faithful picture Of the
struggle of honest poverty, against the olr
preston of avarice, and the power of money

cause of their condition; and depicted the fl
