. BUCEpHALUS. ,JR.

Il The subscriber, through the solicitation of
his friends, has made arrangements TO stand
his celebrated HoraGF BU UCEPHALUS, Jr.
in Sumter District, the ensuing SPRING
Said Horse may ybe expected to pass through
the Salems, Sumterville, by Fulton, and per-
haps Statesburg, and in the Fork of Black
River; and any other place where sufficient
which will be determined by the, groom,
whose experience as groom, is equal to any
in the State.
-TERMs-Bucephalus, Jr, will be let to
mares at $400 the single leap; $500 the
season, and $1,000 to insure a mare to be
in foal: 25 cents to the groom in every in
stance. Parting with the mare forfeits the
insurance in every instance. Every care
will be taken to prevent accidents, but no
liability should any occur.
N. B. Whore a company Of or mares
is made up by responsible persons, and the
Horse and Groom furnished free of charge
rs he is passing round through the season,
will reduce the season to 81, and the insu-
rance to $40. will also give the same
chance to all those who feel disposed to pa
tronize my Horse upon said terms and condi-
tons.

Old Bucephalus' dam was by old king Herod,

To be sure he did, aud so Mr.. Stewart ropli-
ed on his belief. We assert il on documentary
proof. Doc. No. l2, (see third number of the
Bauery,l 25,h Congress, Sd session, House of
Reps, War Department, rcpublishes u portion
Of letter from Mr.. Calhoun 10 the Secretary Of
War, in which Mr.. Calhoun expressly states
that Governor Cass's claim was of such nature
that it "could only be adjusted on equitable prin.
cipies, il being impossible to state The items Of
expense, to which, situaledas hewas, he was ex.
posed from his intercourse with the Indians"

NIessrs. Woods and HenphIII.

These gentlemen visited our town on We'd
nesday, in compliance with the appointment Of
the State Central Committee, aud addressed a
goodly number Of Wings assembled from va.
rious paris of the county. The meeting was
not large, yet we noticed Wings from Brown,
and Harrison, and Washington, and Lee, and
Loudon, aud Monroe, and Perry, and Orange.
Enough 10 carry a wholesome lsauen to their
brethren at home. And, by the way, that lea.
zen was dealt out with liberal hand by both the
gentlemen who addressed the meeting.
Mr.. Woods is made up of facts and figures.
lie is a walking Auditors Reporl-Perfectly ia
miisr with all tho LocoGoco pecuIaIiOn, swind.
ling and corruption, by which, for years, our
State was hurried onward towards bankruptcy
aud reputation. He showed up Locofoco le.
gislaton and fnanciering in strong light, and
Locofoco speculations in the peoples money
by which thetax-Payers sufered--and the State
was broughtothe yergeoi oibankruptcy--whilst the
office holddrs and party favorites amassed i'm
mense forunes-was not only charged but pro-
ven by the record.
Mr.. Woods is quite familiar too with General
Cass and his extra allowances by which he has
drawn from rhepublic treasury his S63,989, ex-
elusive of his regular pay of $4,000 a year, as
Governor Of Michigan and Indian agent. He
showed up that man Of many faces, in light
that his friends do not like 10 view him. The
friend of the poor Indian one day--and their
most unwarrantable enemy the next The
friend of the slave at one time, and again the
friend and advocate Of the slave trade. The
supporter Of the Wing administration Of Mr..
Adams--the beggar of Office at the hands of Mr..
Adams-and again the supporter Of the Locolo-
co administration Of Jackson and Van Buren,
and the receiver of Office at their hands. At
one time euogizing the character Of Gen. Har-
rson and declaring his willingness to support
it--and again, the godfather for Mr. Polk, and
all his destructive measures. For the WiImot
Proviso and against it--for Annexation and a
gainst it--but always and at all times his uOice
cas FOR WAR. The speech OF Mr.. Woods was
an excellent one, and we regret that we have
not room 10 notice it further.
The speech Of Mr.. IlemPhiII wo were pre-
vented from hearlng-but learn that it was most
spirited, eloquent and effective, doing ample
Justice to our gallant chief, Zachary Taylor,
and ample and SEVERE justice to his raducers.
The Wings present, and indeed the Wings of
Carroll not present, have reason to feel them
selves under lasting obligations to both these
speakers. We know they awakened new ener.
gy in the minds Of their auditors that will be
communicated from man to man, and will tell
with effect on the cohorts of Cassism on tho
seventh of November.

The Union Of the 10Th August gives flaming
account of the butlle of Aur Cdaards, on the
strength Of which it claims for General Cass the
credit Of extra patriotism and extra courage
The news Of it, the Union tells u.s. rang through
the country, and every where Colonel Cass was
hailed as the hero Of 7GroHieel
This is ali fiction, every wordof it. But there
is one particular msslalCment in the article cited
which we design TO correct. The question has
been asked thousand times, why did not Gene
raj Cass maintain the bridge AT Aux Cauards!
To this thei reply has been, pretty generally, thai
Gen. Hull would not allow him TO maintain it.
IT was proved on lIull's trial, (see his Defence,
p. 1919 by the testimony of Col. Miller, that n
discretionary power was given by tho General
to Colonel Cuss 10 muiuIan the bridge if he
thought proper.
81 will" wrote Gen. Hull "lcave it to you,
discretion and Colonel Mlller's, under all the
circumstances of tho case, TO do that which you
Judge most cXpcdent."
Colonel Miller further testified that, after the
receipt of this order, the officers were called to.
gother, aud it was decided that unless the bridge
"beng twelve or fourteen miles iom our camp
aud only four or five from the enemy, could be
supported by our Whole force, WE HAD BErTEr
HETURN; aud that, as we had not tho disposition
Of the whole force, which was thought necessa
ry, we ought not to take the responsibility"
This was pretty well for the hero of a surren
der; but does Mr.. Richie suppose that Captar
Taylor would have backed off from that bridge
So, too, wilhrogard TO the advance on Maiden
Why did not Colonel Cass advance! 1t is wei
known, for it appeared in proof on HuIIs trial
that he told his officers that "f it should be thoi
opinion that ii was cxpedent to make the atacI
im,aediatoIy, aud they would answe, for thei
men, ho would lead them to the enterprise. -
Col. Miller answered, that he would answer 70
his men. CoIonels McAhur, Cass, and Finley
said they toonld not ansOer jortheir men, and 'h'
enterprise was abandoned See liull's Tru
and llul's Memoirs, page 54.--Battery.
