 CAPTAIN LiScoLN.--it has been reported that this gallant officer was delivering orders. in his capacity of Adju.ant. when shot. and denies that he was killed while eudeavoripg to rally tue Indiana Regiment. We believe that neither statement Is true. We have It second hand from aa officer who rode beside him when he fell, that he WIS shot through the head when in the act of making a charg- at full gallop, and that he fell dead from his horse. The noble animal, carried forward by his own speed, as soon as he missed his rider, turned back, passed his nose over the body, and gently turned the head so as 10 reveal the feaiures of his master, which, when exposed to E.incoln's servant who stood by, caused the latter to shed tears and utter loud convulsive lamentations All who saw Il were deeply affected, for Lincoln was the idol oi the army.
 Some days after she battle, Capt. Iincoln's horse was offered for sale at auction. When the first bid was announced, the ranieen wo- man. fhonored with the soubriquet of the Great Western, as well from her valor aud patriotism, as from her extraordinary size and strength,) with whom Lincoln was an especial iayori.e, stepped forward and said that the man who offered seventy doliars for horse like that, could not want it-lhat she would give two hundred and fifty dollars for the animal, and at that price l; was knocked down to her. When asked what occasion she had for the horse, she declared her intention to keep il till an opportunity of fered of forwarding it to Lincon's mother, for whom she designed il as present

 The Hamilton and RossyiIle (Ohio) News, good whig paper, thus disconrses about Gen. Taylor:
 We had with pleasure remarked that the Gazette had spoken for Corwin, which was to US declaration in favor of right. Though we have expressed our preference for MT. Corwin, we are nos SO welded to him as we are to those great principles of policy which he advocates; and if whig convention were to nominate another civilian, we should ac- quiesce most cheerfuly. But to the late at tempts 10 force Gen. Taylor upon the whigs without q convention, we enter our most solemn protest; and when we see disposi- ton among whig editors to aid in so unius- tifable piece of demagoguery. it is difficult for us to restrain rebuke. The cry about Taylor's grcdt popularify is all gammon; and fhey rho lend their roices fo s'ceH ii, riH bitterly regret fheir .folly, if they lore Meir country.
 It is contemptibly mean in the whig party to thrus, forward Gen. Taylor's name with out his knowledge, wishes or consent, and make his reputation football 10 be kicked about by political hacks, whilst he is in a foreign country in hard service.

CAUSES OF THE WAR.--lnstead of talking about the march to the Rio Grande having brought on the war, the whigs can find the causes of il nearer home. Mr. Lester, in his Life of Houston. page G, says:
 "if, then, il be asked, why Mexico has. at last, not only made war upon Texas, after the Grea, Powers recognized her indepen- dence, but against the United States after an nexaiion, we answer, that there IS no man who knows enough about this subject to qualify him to hazard an opinion who does not understand and believe that Mexico has been emboldened to provoke the war, only because of the long, powerful Perseveriug. and desperate hostility with which thou sand newspapers and thousand public men, in this countryc have resisted the annexation. These presses and these public men have held the very same language, and displayed the very spirit towards Texas, that Santa Anna, and Bravo. aad Bustamenie, and Al- monte, and Herrera, and Paredes. and their hireling presses, have done. In fact, the hopes of these military despots have all res ted upon the efforts of the enemies of Texas in the United States. aud not upon their pop ularity at home. or the power of their can non, or the justice of their cause"

itself. Ii is constructed upon a new and
entirely distinct principle truly phiIo
%sophical, so as 10 pass the Aue entirely
round the oven, thus making it enveloped
OIL. fame cncirced. without impairing the
necessary draught OF The stove. This
method of thus passing twice round,
once over and once under the oven, is the
secret of lis great economy in The use of
fuel, while the enlargement OF the air
chamber affords increased space for the
rarefac:ion Of air and compensates for
the usual disadvantages of a circular
draught, 1t bakes, roasls, and boiIs,
easier and better than any Stove yet Of
lered 10 the public, with The advantage
over most of them of saving one half the
fuel. 1t is superior TO the Queen of
the West" Bucks PATENT" Eclipse
Or III athaways Patent for the follow
ing reasons In &hese Stoves the upper
side OF the oven is dependant Cor heat
and can have from no other source than
what radiates through the plate on which
the FIRE is made. If The ashes be lifted
clean. too much heat wall radiate and
Durn the bread on the upper
side, if too much ashes be left, the bread
will not bake on The upper side. OF this
defect all good cooks complain. This
Stove is entirely free of this objection,
the oven always heating exactly alike
top and bottom, and ends. Many buy
The Premium or step stove and others Of
similar model. These Stoves consume
much fuel, for first the fire chamber is
too deep, the pots &C., are too high a
bove The fire. Second when using The
oven, all the heat which passes off under
the oven being one half, never in
contact with the boiling utensils, passesof
into the pipe and is lost. Also our Stove
is so arranged with bank or elevation
in the fire chamber as TO ensure the use
of The Fame upon the forward part Of
the Stove first. and it then passes back
afterward heating all alike whereas
Stoves like the Hathaway, having one
vest chamber, allow too vide a range
for the fame without sufficient concen.
tration.
