Mr. SH0IEs I apprehend. from the remarks in
your last paper, you have wrong impression in
regard to the printing Of the Journal Of the Conven-
ton When the Convention first assembled a ma
jorty could not agree upon either the three press

sorted to which thought. and sti think under the
circumstances, was wrong. Il was clear to my
mind that with the feeling then existing between
the presses here it unfair to take advantage OF
their difficulties and place the printers in posi-
ton where, to bid successfully for the printing they
must do 1t at loss But the Convention deterrnln.

TnE Army FErDs.-Thc Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger,
in his letter of the 9Th:
"The quarrcls ofour Generals in Mexico
is occupying large share OF public atten-
ton, and all sorts Of conicctures are afloat
as to what had best be done TO arrest these
discussions, which are calculated to demon
alze the army and instil fresh vigor into
the dropping minds of tao MeXicans. My
opinion is that they will be called home
and coqrt mar tailed, and that Gen. Butler,
who will remain command, will be amply
sufficient to direct our future military OPP
crations in Mexico, till Gen. Taylor shall
return to the army and assume the supreme
command. The subject was up in Cabinet
meeting on Thursday last, but the resolu-
tons come TO arc kept a great secret, lest
the press might handle them prematureIy,
and thereby either prejudice the generals or
the administration. have no doubt, how
ever. that the generals will be recalled, and
that Gen. Taylor will be called to Wash
ington , to preside at the court martial, pre-
vious to his re.assumption of the command
of the army. TIL. would pretty nearly
bring all the presidential asPiranss to Wash.
ington, and make this place the great focus
Of attraction. There would be Scott, Tay-
lor and Worth, Of the regular army, and
Cass. Dallas, Walker, Woodbury. and
Buchanan, among the civilians, while on
the other side. Clay and McLsan would
finish the tabiedu rir0af.
"Our Generals have indeed played the
Presidential game with great earnestnsss

their friends and admirers should play il

NEW AGENT FOR PRODUCING INsEysr-
BLITY.-AImost every day, some new tri-
umph Of science in medicine or surgery is
announced. We see BY an article from
4 Liverpool paper that substitute for
Ether, called "Chlorolorm," has been src-
cessfulIy introduced into tho Eve and Ear
lnirmary Of that city. "The new agent"
says the article, SIS very pleasant to the pal
ate, and yields delightful perfume. not
much unlike that Of ripe apple. or good
sherry wine. It's inhalation produces the
most delightful sensations, and, in the course
OF minute or so, state of the soundest
somnambulsm. Sulphuric ether. on the
contrary. is very disagreeablc both 10 the
palate and the o.fictory nerves. and is much
longer in producing the desired result. 1t
also produces great nausea. and has not al
ways been administered without acting for
4 time somewhat injuriou.Iy upon the ncr-
VOWS system"
An account Is given Of ten or twelve ca
SEES where, the 'Chiorolorm' having been
important surgical operations
were performed upon the eve and other
parts OF the system without the least CON
sciousucss Of pain on the part ofthc patients.
1t seems to be iarmore agreeable than Ether.
and also more enectual in producing the
the requisite state Of inscnsibilitv. When
will wonders cease
The Chlorolorm has been already pre-
pared for use in the United States bv DR..

we'd fall accountof the mode Of its prepare
ton.
A Philadelphia paper remarks as follows
upon tho new discovery:
THE American discovery Of Eherica-
ton seems to have opened a new path of
exploration in the world of Materia Medica;
and perhaps the result will be, not merely
the establishment of whole class of an
~sthetic medicines, but series Of classes
of remedies possessing various properties
of 4 nature heretofore entirely undrcamcd
of in the old world philosophy. Gem Of

All this was punctually promised on the
part of the dentist, and in the due time

The quotation from SHAKESPEARE, in my

tee; being remarkably, almost prophotical-
Inappropriate to the telegraph. The most
devoted admirer Of the bard may not, in
deed, attribute to him any such intent; but
the expression Is SO coincidcntal with the
late invention OF Professor Morse, that it
apply illustrates the saying, that in the
Bible or in ShaAspcrc can he found text

may be seen at large in the first scene of

perhaps you don't know Zeke Glib.
bens, wha, lived down here on West
Fork well, he was the LATEST man you
ever heard tell of. When he and his
wife got married, they had pretty good
chance of truck between 'em. But Zcke
was too lazy TO make crops, so every
thing went to rack and ruin. Zeke's
wife was right smart oman SO she
told him one day he'd got to go TO work.
Cant you plough :" says she. Don't
know how" says Zeke. well I'll
show you;'' SO she geared the boss, put
him in the plough herself and took Zeke
and led him TO it, and put bis hands Oh

Anecdote.

When Judge Parsons was a practice
ing lawyer, he was once employed TO
plead two cases in court, which were
precisely alike, but in one he was en-
gagged for the defendant, and in The 9TH
er for the plaintiff. 1t happened that
both cases were tried the same day.
He spoke for half an hour TO the first ju-
~, aud the case was given to them aud
they had retired. When he appeared
before the second jury he made use Of
very different arguments from those be-
fore employed by him, Of which the
court took notice, reminding him that he
seemed to have changed his tune, and
repeated TO him what he had said, but a
few minutes before.
Mr.. Parsons fixed his keen eye upon
the judge, and rcplied-"May it please
your honor | might have been lerong a
half an honr ago, but now kno,g 1 an
rsh'."--lle proceeded; and when the
juries returned, it was found he had
gained a verdict in both cases!

HOW TO BREAK A COLT.
A TRUE STORY.

George" said father TO his son,
that stout four year old colt of ours has
thrown off every one that has dared Ia
get on his back, and the man | last en-
ployed says it is quite impossible 10 do
any thing with him. So you may sell
him Cor what you can get, taking care
to state these fuc,s."
The next day George took the colt
and led HIN into a soft, spongy meadow,
and suddenly sprang on his back, up
on which he reared up, plunged, kicked,
umped, sprang forward, then side
ways, sinking into the mud over his iet-
locks, and sometimes up to his knees
and ganbrels, and when he found that
lie could not succeed in throwing his
rider, he stopped and shook himself like
a dog after coming out of the water
This last performance was poser for
George, but like the fellow who signed
the temperance pledge, che stuck to it"
until the colt started back for the road,
when he went on full speed, with his
mouth wide open, running until he be.
came quite exhausted. Shortly after
this he put him about, walked him home,
rubbed him dry, gave him a little green
grass out of his hand, with some water,
and afterwards better horse was never
backed. -M Hgriculiuris..
