GENERAL SHIELDs.-Ihis distinguish.
ed officer, says the Pennsylvania, is al.
ways TO be found in the thickest of the
fight, bearing our eagles to victory
Scarcely had he recovered from bis terri
BILE wound at Cerro Gordo, till we find
him near the city of Mexico. chasing the
flying Mexicans in their precipitaie flight
from his pursuing brigade. And although
seriously wounded in this great battle, he
staunches the blood flowing from his
wound, by binding his handkerchiefaround
it, nor quits the field Till the victory'S won.
Gen. Shields is a native Of the Emerald
Isle, and well may our Irish friends in
America be proud of so brave and chiv.
cAiva!rou0 a brother. Gen. Shields is
now only about forty years ofage. When
he received the appointment OF General
in the U. 8. Army, he was at the head of
the Land Department, but left this most
comfortable situation to defend his adopt.
ed country in the perilous strife of SAN
culinary war in Mexico. Before he was
called to preside over the Land Depart
ment at Washington, he had held the ap.
pointment of Supreme Judge in the State
of Illinois. Thus, besides being as gal
liant a soldier as ever drew a sword. he
ranks among the best read judges of the
republic. .... ..

Peace Commissioners.

Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of commerce writes under
date Of the 10Th ult.:
sit is deemed probable that the govern.
ment at Queretaro will send to the Unit.
ed States Commissioners to treat for
peace.
"These Commissioners will come to
this city with Mr.. Trist. who has been
recalled. but only remains for the purpose
OF executing some late orders in relation
10 the proposed renewal Of negotiations.
% "The administration certainly expects
treaty, and very soon. Perhaps the
treaty will be MADE hers before it shall
be sent to the Mexican Congress for rat.
i6cation."

CIRCULAR

An adjourned meeting of 1.-THE Will
County Teachers Institute" will be held
at Lockport on Wednesday, the 29th day
of December next, at 9 o'clock, A. NJ,
for the purpose of entering into more
permanent organization, and Of confering
together upon the great interests which
its members are Eaboring to promote.
The importance of these occasional
gatherings of Teachers, to discuss in
familiar manner, the subject of popular
education, to the promotion of which their
energies arc devoted, cannot be too highly
appreciated. AID it may well be ques-
toned, whether those who are aspiring TO
the high and responsible position Of guides
20 the youthful mind, should be licensed or
employed to teach, who will not. il circum.
stances permit, avail themselves Of these
opportunities of profiting by the wisdom
and experience of others with whom they
may here be associated.
As the laborers in profession have so
many difficulties to contend with, so none
have more need Of availing themselves Of
the light that may be shed upon their path
by the experience Of others, than those TO
whom is entrusted the education ofthe fu.
ture SOvereigns Of the Republic. ~
In addition to the prominent object Of
the meeting-the organization Of Coun.
~ SOciety-exercises, and addresses Of a
highly interesting character.by theT Teach.
Crs and other friends Of education, may be
expected. All who feel an. interest in
having the "People's Colleges" in our
county elevated to the position they ought
TO occupy, will. we :rust, yield their infld
snce to promote the object at which We
are aiming, and SO far as is convenient
cheer and encourage Us with their pres
ence. =

duly honored. III. N. MARSH,
