PUBLISH THE VILLAIN.-The Rev. DR.. Stelle F.
Randolph has become villain Of too great noorie-
ty TO pass longer without warning to the public.
S. F. Randolph is a native Of New Jersey. He is
by trade tailor. About eleven years ago he married
daughter Of Robert Randolph, Esq, who resided in
his native village. By this marriage he had two
children, whom with his wife, he seemed to love
dearly. In lS4l after he had been preaching about
one year and half Mortified, Essex county ". J.,
he left his house, telling his wife that he was going
TO hold protracted meeting at Trenton, N. ]. They
bowed in prayer, and parted with the usual tokens
of affection. He kissed the two little several
times saying, Papa will not see you again IN
week."
An arrangement had been made between Mr.. Ran
doph and one of the females. whom he had baptised
few weeks before, to meet at certain place. They
met and rode off together. Randolph did not return
for two months. What become of the girl that
eloped with him know not. Mrs. Randolph and the
two children were taken home by her father. When
Randolph returned he pretended to be very penent,
and solicited his wife reside with Linn again. But
she would neither see him. nor reply to any of the
communications which he sent her through the
wants connected with the family. Randolph then left
and come out west
Il would seem, from letters published in "Leigh's
Commercial Herald" and the baptist Banner" that
Randolph married again in Alabama. and took his
wife to Bonneville, Missouri. He now become a
Doctor well a Minister. He had by this mar
rage one son. He left his family at Bonneville, and
went in search of better location. He wrote her
that he thought he had found one in Hickman county,
Kentucky. But he now repudiales this wife as well
the former and seems To be in search o. another
This imposter may be easily known from the fol-
lowing brief description. He is about 80 years Of
age, rahor stout built his right leg about six inches
shorter than the other but heightened by cork be-
meath the foot in the boot and the hip the right
side out of joint

P. NJ. AT PROFESSIONALLY Nashville RepublI-
can does injustice to the p. NJ at Knightstown. The
fault Of having eastern papers come by this city, is
altogether in the eastern Offices, especially at New
York. At the latter Office, believe sort nor
shadow of a system exists Much Of the matter
which reaches this Office has to be returned to the
east; and it is but few DAYS since whole sack, in
tended exclusively for Philadelphia, received at
this Office 1t consequently has to be carried some
two thousand miles more than necessary. This bare
statement of facts will enable the Republican to un-
derstand the natter to place blame where blame
belongs, and to relieve the innocent of unjust impu-
ta.iOns.

W We regret that such respectable paper as

debase itself as become the principal advertiser OF
obscene exhibitions, if they may be SO termed. With
its extensive circulation its notices of classical ex-

least, in our opinion. away out here in the west II
such notices appeared in such papers as the Herald,

of an ordinance against the spread of the disease,

Col. c. H. BRoUGH, in letter to the Cincinnati

The editor of the Enquirer acknowledges the recep-
ton of the document, and 1t in that Office open
to the inspection of the curious and perhaps for other
uses between this and the Presidential election"
The whig press have always denied the well au-
thentcated fact that the speeches Of COrwin, Clay,
Bebb. and Others were translated into the Spanish
language, for the use of the Mexicans, TO show them
that they had friends, aiders and abettors in the Uni
ted States. Here we have the evidence of the fact
from whose word is not TO be doubied-one who
was eyewitness TO the facts related, and to back
which, the document itself is in the State publicly
advertised open to the inspection of all who desire
to see it.-Ohio SintsSmdn.

ANEcDoTE CT GENERAL TAYLoR.-A great many
anecdotes have been related of General Taylor of his
remarkable GOODNESS and sagaeity the Eed of bat
tie; but the following is than twenty four hours
in advance of it's contemporaries;
"The General is in the habit Of riding with very
short strrups. Well, in the heat of the fight at
Buena VISTA the old veteran saw cannon ball max
ing towards him. from one Of the Mexican batteries,
with terrific speed. Rough and Ready eyed it for a
moment with great interest, during which time he as
certained with mathematical precision the exact spot
where it would hit him if he remained still. But at
the same time he satisfied himself that with little
inesse he could avoid the danger. So, waiting with
great patience until the shot about 10 strike him.
he deliberately raised himself in the stlrrups and the
ball passed between him and his saddle leaving him
quite unframed This the Doctor with his own
eyes, and therefore there can be no doubt of its
truth"

WASHINGTON, March 2, ls4s.

To the Editor Of the Union:
In your paper of yesterday, in speaking of the
statements of a correspondent of the New York COu-
rier, who signs himself "a Seeding Clay Whig,"
the States General Taylor would carry, (which
Mr.. Clay never cam one Of which is Indiana, you
say 1--WE have submitted this statement to gentle
men whose information rely; and are
assured that Gen. Taylor cannot obtain the votes of
Texas and Iowa. Indiana, South Carolina and Ten

What gentlemen or gentleman could have given
the opinion that Indiana would be upcertain in the
event of General I. being the wing candidate, am
at loss to conjecture-nor is it important; only
desire say that such opinion not entertained
by me- nor any of my democratic colleagues with
whom have conferred ON the subject, with none Of
my correspondents at home. and might add by not
few Uf the wings in that State themselves. The de-
mocracy of Indiana do not allow that their State is
''uncertain," let who will be the wing candidate.
They believe it TO be reliable democratic State and
they fear Gen. Taylor least of all the whg candi-
dates spoken of believe il is not denied, hut gen.
orally known, that Messrs. Smith and Thompson the
two oldest and most distinguished wing representa-
tves from State, both favor the nomiua ion of Mr.
Clay rather than General T.; winch, / Imagine,
would not be the if they regarded General T. as
the stronger man.
