The Reformed Crows.

Col. B., has one Of the lest farms on the
Nlinuis. About one hundred acres Of it are cover
cd with waving corn When it came up in the
spring, the crows seemed determined on its entire
destruction. When one was killed il seemed as
though dszen came to his funeral; aud though
the sharp crack of the rife often drove them away
they always returned with its echo The Colonel
ct length became weary Of throwing grass, and re-
solved to try the virtue Of stones He sent TO the
druggists for gallon of alcohol. in which he soak
Cd few quarts Of corn, and scattered it over the
ksld. The blacklegs came and partook with their
usual relish. and as usual they were pretty well
eosned; and such cooing and cackling-such strut
ting and staggering. When the boys attempted
to catch them they were not little amused at
their staggering g,it and zlg-zag way through the
cir. At length they gained the edge ofthe woods,
and being joined by ..recruit which happened to
b SOBER they united a, the top Of their voices in
haw-hs " -baw.ing, and shouting either praises or
curses Of alcohol. Not another kernel would they
touch in his field lest il should contain the accurs-
Cd thing. while they went and pulled up the corn
Of their neighbors. They have too much respect
for their characters, black as they are, to be again
found drunk. s4 l7 1855 sfa Afti

General TaylOr,s Character,

Senator Crinenden delivered speech in Pitts.
burgh on the l6thinst., in which he spoke in high
terms of the public and private charactero of Gen
eral Taylor. Mr.. c. has been Intimately ac-
quaintcd with Gen. Taylor for many years. and
whatever he says of him may be relied upon as
correct The Pittsburgh Gazette sayslhe follow.
ing are few Of the points he commented upon:
GENERAL TAYLOR is A WIG.
This, the speaker said, he declared from his
own knowledge. He is a Wing. good Wing,
a thorough Wing. ! know him 10 be d Wing,
but not an ultra Wing. All his political feelings
are identified with the Whig party.
GENERAL TAYLOR is AN HONEST MAN.
On the uprightness of General Taylor's char.
acter Mr.. Criuenden dwelt with great eartnesl.
ness as a trpit which he knew, and felt, and ad.
mired. He said he was emphatically an honest
man, and he defed the opponents of The old sol.
der to bring aught against him; impeOching his
uprightness, in all his transactions, during pub
liclife of forty years. His appearance and man.
ners bear the impress of such sterling honesty
that peculatioh, meanness, and rascalitv arc
frightened from his presence. General Twiggs
who has been on habits Of intimate personal in
tercourse with him, said 10 the speaker, lately
that there was not man in the world who hat
been in the company of Gen. Taylor five min.
uteS, who would dare make an improper PROPOSE.
ton to him. Dishonesty fees from his presence.
GENERAL TAYLOR is A MAN OF GREAT ABILITIES.
His whole military life gave evidence of this.
He never committed blunder, or lost a battle.
There is notanother man in the army who would
have fought the battle of Buena Vista but Gen.
Taylor,-aud not another who would have won
it. Examine the whole history Of his exploits
in all their details, and you see the evidence o
far-reaching sagacity, and great ability.
GENERAL TAYLOR is A MAN OF LEARNING.
Not more scholastic learning-he has never
graduated at college-but his mind is richly
stored with that practical knowledge, which i:
acquired from both men and books. He is
deeply read man, in all ancient and modern his
tory, and in all matters relating 10 the practica
dulies of life, civil andnilitary. He is intimate
with Plutarch, said the Speaker,-a Putarch he
ro himself, as bright as ever adorned the page C
history. Gen. Gibson,-yCu all know and low,
Gen. Gibson, one Of your own Pennsylyanians
man whose reputation for truth and honor wa
proverbial, and whose word was always an ent
of controversy, so implicitly was it relied upon
Gen. Gibson had told him that he and Gen. Tay
Ior had entered the army nearly together, AM
had served together almost constantly, until he
