dence in this town, on Saturday, afternoon

from his sphere OF activity and useful

sickness for several months, and the COM

of his death, by expecting it, daily, du-
ring that time; still, when it came, the
intelligence was received with start
ling shock, which thrilled through and
saddened every heart in town.
He was buried in the Presbyterian
grave yard, on NJ onday. a very large

Later from the Rio Grande

The steamer j. r. Thompson arrived at
New Orleans on the 10Th inst, from the
Brazos, from whence she sailed Oh the 4'h
inst.
She brings but little intelligence of inter-
est from Gen. Wool'B line. Orders have
been issued from headquarters recountine
the forbearance hitherto exercised by the
Americans towards the MeXicans in the
prosecution of the war, which they have
only returned with persecution and abuse.
In consequence more stringent orders are
given.
The order further says that all MeXicans
who c9nutenaEcc guerllas III any way, or
fail TO give notice OF their whereabouts, if
known; or pay tribute to them, shall be
punished with severity.
AFFAIRS IN Observation-Disclosures
Repudnted. The legislature of Mississippi
is now in session. The Governor, in his
message, states that the receipts of the
Treasury for the last two years were
$579,635,SS, the expenditures $685.
726.lS.
The revenue of the coming year is es-
timated at 100000, and the expendi,
lures at $4,000. The debts of the
State are declared to amount to $780,
900. The means Of the Treasury sutficcs
to pay only the interest on this debt.
The Governor is opposed to the sale Of
the Public Lands fer the payment Of the
| debt. and considers that The OBLIGATIONS
of the State must be met by increased
taxation. He is in favor OF paying the
Planters Bank bonds, and expresses his
decided opinion that the State is bound,
by the strongest Of obligations, to redeem
them in full, principal and interest al
the earliest period. The message protests
against the Wilmot proviso, and recon-
mends response to the Virginia resolu'
tions on this subject.

No, many years ago, there lived in the
outskirts of q certain village in the New
World, a wise man and fool. There
were plenty more of each OF these classes
among the inhabitants, but t bese two were
;pre-eminent in their way. The great
,teading maximof one was, never TO put OFT
aili to. morrow what could bedone to-day ;that
81 the other, never to do today what could
be pot off ill tomorrow. They had, how
sver, pretty much the same opinion of eacn
other. 5ifhel wise man desoised the TOOL
because he9never took time by the fore
lock; and the fool centemned the wise
man for not letting the old man pass on,
that he might see what was behind him.
'fhe name of the sage was Solomon, the
appropriate appellation to oil wise men;
and that ofthe simpleton, Ninny. OR Squire
Ninny. as he was called by his ne;ghbors
They equally valued themselves on their
wisdom, and were accustomed TO meet to.

Others by design; on which occasion they
.eidom failed 10 enter into discussion which
always confirmed each other in his owr
theory more obstinalely than before. A
parting, nothing wns more usual than tol
Solomon to predict that Squire MINI!
would always lose the race, by lagg'nl
behind tih it was too late to enter at tn
starting pole; and for the Squire to rotor
by foretelling that his wise neighbor woul
meet with the same catastrophy by trim
out his horse in his haste to be there To-
soon. efs'@j s7re
xaWhy don't you," said Solomon, "wh.
don't YOU learn wisdom from the birds
which are out by daylight in the morning
