At the latest dates Mr.. Trist was still it,

One series Of elections had taken place in
the city Of Mexico on the 7th instant, and

All the sick Of our army are to be removed
to Ialapa forthwith.
Q~UERETARo.-A the last advices from Quer-

BATTLE NEAR CHIHUAHUA.-News had been
received at the city Of Mexico of a great bat

DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN-We to-day publish a
call from a number Of our citizens for a County
meeting to be held on Monday the Oath day Of
April inst, at Raymond, for the purpose Of
appointing delegates to a District Convention,
to be held in this Congressional District. We
have for some weeks taken pains to place the
facts connected with this subject before our
readers, and, in the number Of the Southron Of
the 3lst ult., we copied at length the state of
the case, as, viewed BY the Louisville Journal
aud a large number Of Wings and Taylor men
generally, here aud elsewhere in the South
The whole matter being thus belure the citi-
zons,of our county, we hope to see a large al
tendance at the proposed County Meeting at
Raymond, where their views can be fully ex-
pressed. If a District Convention is held, we
think the proper place would be Jackson, and
the right time the second Monday of May, du-
ring the United States Court :
We perceive that the Wings are moving in
the other Congressional Districts, especially IL
the 4th where they seem to be full Of ardor.-

Alabama, August 4thr 1920. Atthe age of %
years he entered upon a course Of study pre-

finished the usual courses OF Lectures in the
Medical College at Louisville, Kys he gradua-
ted irthat institution with the highest honors
of his class in I845.
Shortly after graduating, DR.. 4. came to this
county, and entered upon the practice of his
profession, in the neighbofhood of Livingston,
and although, almost an entire stranger to this
community, destitute of wealth, and without
experience, he soon succeeded, by the modes
ty of his manner and the correctness of his
moral department, in gaining the confidence,
and friendship and patronage, of many %intelli-
gent and respectable citizens, and in less than
two wears, By a successful and extensive prac.
tice, he attained to a high and enviahle repu-
tation in his profession. Scarcely, however,
had he begun to occupy the interesting field
to which his professional worth, and profess

GEN, SooTr AND Ma, PoLK.-The New York
papers contain the letters Of Secretary Marcy to
Gen. Scott, informing him OF his SUSPENSION
Mr.. Marcy's letters are dated January 18th and
are nothing but swords, words, words;" but
the conclusion to which the Secretary invites
attention is, that the welfare of the army de-.
mands that Gen Scott should be removed from
command and tried on charges preferred by
Gen. Worth. 1t is now known that Worth
withdrew his ridiculous charges as soon as the
Court of Inquiry met, upon the ground
that the President had done him justice
and that therefore in his opinion, the "harmo-
ny of the service" did not require a further
prosecution of the matter. We are of opinion
that if justice were done to Gen. Worth, he
would not now be enjoying a triumph over his
old friend and superior officer.
The following is a letter from, General Scott
to the War Department. 1t is worthy of
him.-T. Wig.-
