Gen. Pillow.

The New Orleans National says of this no.
torious General:
" His sudden rise to office, his greatness
achieved by the magic pen, and the sudden
vanishing of the dazzling ima ees of glory
which his wizard genius had brought around
him, constitute a picture for the future histo-
rian Of mingled glory and sorrow, Like VOL
sey (great shade! excuse u.s. he has
"Iike a little want,n boy that swims on blad-
ders,
V%entured beyond his depth"
The bubble has burst--his glory is departed.
By the aid of the government boot maker,
Mr.. Pillow, lawyer, was provided with a pair
of military boots. What boots it that he was
only a country lawyer! He is a general, and
however bootless his career has been, we must
treat him as u soldier, and a Major Genetal to
boot. The boots, however, have proved en-
tireIy too large, and the little lawyer has been
SO completely engulphed in them haiti is only
Of late that the public generally have had q
full view of the individual concealed, since
the court Of inquiry has instituted a search
and drawn him forth. At the very moment
when he fondly hoped that he had secured a
firm footing on the heights Of fame, those ell
vious boots, too large for the wearer, rip him
up, and he comes down with a velocity too
great to be agreeable. He presents the para
doxicaI appearance of a man whose garments
are too large for him, but who is at the same
time too big for his-breeches.
This Pillow was originally; as all know, a
mere case; but for divers reasons the Duck
river Colonel stuffed it up with military feath-
ers until it swelled to an alarming size, and
completely forgotits former inglorious dimen-
sions. But being an ambitious Pillow it was
not satisfied with its W feathers, and pluck
ed a few from the caps Of Scott and Worth,
and several other "mere martinets." For this
appropriation of private property, it has been
for some tima past undergoing what may be
termed father a shaking operation, which has
deprived it of the. stolen plumes, and even
those which are honestly its own have been
plucked out in order to see if they belong
where they are found. In short the Pillow has
been again reduced to a mere case. 1t will
sadly need a Iaundress. 1t would be an anus
ing sight to see old Father Richie performing
that office on the banks Of the head waters ol
Salt River, after next November.

Well, what has followed? Mr.. Clingman
called for the whole correspondence on the

to vote for the call, provided the answers to
Gen. Scott's should be called for also. Mr..
CIingman accepted the amendment, and the
House adopted the resolution. Now, four
days after this, Gov. Marcy sits down and
writes a letter, of complaint and c%ensure, to
Gen. Scott, which covers 40 pages of manu-

that in reply to the former call of the House
for this correspondence, certain letters which
Mr.. CIingman declared existed, were with

satisfied, and charged that sundry letters, hav-
ing an important bearing, had been withheld,
for an object. Mr.. Henley vehemently denied
the charge. He knew all about it. The Sc

of all the letters which had been held back.
They were only two or three, and not at all

that any Of them should be disappointed. Know
ing the vast benefit which has been conferred upon
the community by the introduction OF his nallble
Worm Lozenges,
he has entered into arrangements for enlarging
his Mandatory, by means OF which he thinks he
will be able to supply the demand. And the same
pains and care will be taken, that these celebrated
Lozenges be made as they have always been, in
order that those who depend upon them may not
be disappointed in their hopes. He knew when
he commenced the manufacture of the Worm L0
eengeS, that they would supercede the use OF eve
ry other vermifuge, as the LoZenge is uery p cas-
ant to the taste, speedy IN its effects. as we'll as
certain, and the quantity required to effect per
feet cure, is very small. These properties in con-
nexion with the fact that they sold for 25 cents
per Box, thus placing them in the reach OF the
poorest man in the land, has not only caused them
to take the place of every other yermfuge ever Of
fered, but also rendered them popular to the COM
munlty.
DR.. Sherman's Cough Lozenges,
continue to cure Coughs Colds Consumption,
Asthma, shortness and difficulty of Breathing, and
other diseases of the Lungs, with the same facility
they did on their first introduction, and the people
have now become persuaded by actual experience,
that on the accession of slight Cold, they have
only to step to either the Drs. office, one Of his
Agents, and obtain box Of his Cough Lozenges,
which are very convenient TO carry in the pocSet,
and to take few through the day By pursuing
this course cure is often effected in "a hours,
and the patient about his business So great is
the celebrity of the IAzenges, that thousands Of
persons who have used them, and become acquaint-
ed with their effects will never be without them.
