AN OH Custom REvivED.-ln the eleventh

were much burdened with Taxes and other OPP
pressions. They besought their superior, Earl
Leoiric, for years TO reduce them, buthe stead

Godiva, pleaded for them to her husband In

through the town a; mid day, he would grant
her request. She accepted the condition, and
at the time appointed mounted milk-white
horse, and naked, with her long hair falling
around her person, she went on her journey
The poor people, struck with her generosity

that she might have no occasion to blush. One
curious little fellow, called Tom,a tailor. how

o. Gen. Lane left here this morning for
st. Louis en- route for Oregon. We learn that
he left publication, which will appear in the
Democrat, concerning the End Reg't, in which
Gen. Taylor comes in for share of abuse. We
are sorry that Gen. Lane has acted in this mat
ter-not as his own sense of right dictated, but
after the counselling of few locofoco dema-
gogues and party slaves, who have done more
10 debase and degrade him than il is in their pow
er, or his own, either, to overcome, Gen.
Lane may say what he pleases about Gen. Tay-
lor, the people know who is right and who has
been honest about this matter, and the people
will rebuke all attempts to SANDER an old sol
der who has done his whole duty.

The SOLDIERS AT Fort McHENRY.-We un-
derstand, says Baltimore Clipper, that the con-
dition OF the men composing the returned vol
tigeur regiment, now at Fort Mclenry, is,
with but few exceptions, as bad as that In
which we found them on our visi: on Wednes-
day last These poor fellows, many of them
as yet far from their homes and friends, worn
out with the fatigues and hardships of their
long service in foreign land are within sight
of our city, where so much abundance exists,
hungering and actually suffering for portion
of that abundance. A few ofour citizens have
we take pleasure in stating, furnished what
they could in the way of food TO these suffering
men, but as yet they are very far from being
relieved.

So is Tayor's. Both developed firm and
