The Concordia Iptelligencers correspondent
in New Orleans seems as full Of fun, frolic and
information as is an egg of edibles. In his last
letter, he thus speaks:
l must, however, do the redoubtable Pillow
Justice on one point. Every body sneers at
the claim he sets upon the merit of planning
the great operations OF our army before the city
of Mexico, and everybody has doubted the
truth of his having slain Mexican officer in
single combat. He failed TO prove the fact
before the Court Martial, but it is no longer a
matter of dispute; for in addition to the bullet
that unbuttoned his coat at Cerro Gordo, and
the cannon ball that whizzed by him at Chu-
rubusco there has been brought over the corpse
of the aforesaid Mexican, preserved in brandy
and it, or something like it, has been exhibit
ed to the gaping crowd ever since the Generals
arrival. These memorials, l presume, are to
be forwarded TO Washington, and will be pre-
served in the War Department. And when
the stranger asks Mr.. Polk for the monuments
Of the Republic, he will point not to the can
non captured at Saratoga and Yorktown, not
the standards of Tippecanoe and Orleans. not
to the trophies of Buens Vista, nor to the ban
ners torn from the citadel OF Mexico, but he
will say. with an air of triumph: "Here is the
bullet that fattened itself on the breast OF MY
general, here is the cannon ball that passed
within three feet of him at the storming OF
Chapultepec, and hero is the yellow bellied
Goiah that he slew in single combat" Oh
fortunate Mr.. Polk! Oh glorious Pillow! Oh
happy and glorious Republic! When were
there such President, and such a hero?-
jefferson is no longer ranked as the first OF
Statesmen, the achievements Of Jackson cease
to astonisl. History bestows the palm. and
poetry its immmortality, on Polk and Pill
low.

We have many of death from intan.
perance among uneducated and miserable
people, but occasionally an instance in high
life, of a melancholy character. Such
case occurred at Toron,o, lately, in the
death of William Paris Vincent. He was
the son of Gen. Vinceni, now in the East
India Company's service, and in the receipt
Of $4,000 per annum, and his mother is
The daughter o: an Ensiem Rajah. Becom-
ing incorporate, young Vincent was aban-
doned by his family, and emigraied TO Can
ada, when through the efforts of his friends
he was gradually breaking himself of his
bad habits, but before he was actually free
from the vice, his father sent him ElO0
which threw him into bad company, into q
career Of dissipation, and finally Into his
grave.
