Gen. TaylOf'S Last Letter,

The following is the substance of a letter from Gen.
Taylor, to the editors of the Republic, Richmond Va,
bearing date April 20.
"To your inquiries have respectfully to reply
FTSt-That if nominated by the Wing National
Convention, shall not refuse acceptance provided
left free of all pledges, and permitted to maintain
the position of independence of all parties in which
the people, and my own sense of duty have placed
me-otherwise shall refuse the nomination of any
convention or party.
Secondb-I do not design to withdraw my name if
Mr.. Clay be the nominee of the Wing National Con-
vention-and, in this connection, beg permission to
remark the statements which have been so positively
made in of the Northern Prints, to the effect
"that should Nh. Clay be the nominee Of the Whg Ma
tionaI Convention" had stated THAT acO1id not sut
fer my name to be used" are not correct, and have no
foundation in any oral or written remark of mine-
1t has not been my intentional any moment to change
my poston-or to withdraw my name from the can.
vass, whoever may be the nominee of the National
Convention either of the Wing Democratic party.
T'hudy.-I have never stated to any one that was
in favor of the Tariff of 46-of the Sub Treasury,
nor that originated the war with Mexico. Nor,
finally, that should (if elected) select my cabinet
from both parties. No such admissions or statements
were made by me, at any time, to any person"

THE FREEMAN
Obituary Notices, &c,

Nothing could give us greater pleasure than to graf
al friends by the publication of all such obituary no
tees as they might desire of deceased relatives and
friends But moments reflection will convince any
one that such course is mpracticable for two rea-
sons. First, such notices would be comparatively of
interest," except to the immediate circle of bereaved
friends and second, were to publish all that might
be offered in SO large extent of territory is
braced within the circulation of the Freeman, our
columns would afford room for little slse. And with
out some rule upon the subject we compelled to
make selections, which not unfrequently are deemed
invidious and there is no end to the embarrassment
and peplexity. These considerations induced the
editors of the Watclman, Patriot, and Freeman, more
than year since, to enter into mutual agreement to
publish only such notices of this description as are
paid for at haf the usual rates of advertising, viz:
twenty-five cents for each square, not exceeding IA
lines. This agreement also includes all such no.
tees as have formerly been published gratutously.
We have called the attention of our readers to this
subject for the reason that, Notwithstanding we have
repeatedly given public notice of such agreement, we
are still frequently requested to publish lengthy obitu
aries and our neglect to do so is taken as mark of
personal disrespect Whereas we cannot comply with
such requests, without violating agreement that is
essential our peace and the general interests

Missionary Buildings Destroyed by a Tor
nadO,

A missionary among the Choctaws writes, I'M
der the date of March %, that the missionary
buildings at Pine Ridge, worth $4,000, were
swept away by a tornado. The wind tore up the
largest trees. On reaching the missionary bull
dings, it unrnofed the dinng-room and kitchen
and Frustrated smoke and wash houses in the
rear.
The next building says the letter, situated
about hundred yards from the former, was a
large two-story house nearly new, with piazza
on two of its sides. Two of its lower rooms
were occupied by two female teachers connected
with the station-Misses Bennett and Slate. The
upper part was the sleeping apartment of the
girls This building was entirely swept off, save
only the lower floor, and parts of it were carried
to the incredible distance of mile from the
spot
Miss Bennett says that she was fastening tc
shut the door, when the wind seized her, carried
her through the window, and landed her dowr
the hill among the crashing timber. Out of the
25 girls in the house, seven or eight were con-
siderably hurt, One had rib or two broken
another it is learned has lost an eye, but wha
was not little surprising, no life was lost among
them ALL

Hampshire viii not agree with ebecause he can fan
the flame of excitement so as to advance his political
prospects, And could also well understand how
some gentlemen at the South may quite compacently
regard all this excitement, if they persuade their
constituents to believe that the institution of Slavery
rests upon their shouders-tha they are the men who
meet the Goliath of the North in this great contest
about abolition 1t gives them strength at home. But
we the North, who have no sympathy with abolition
ists desire no such excitements.
M CalhOun.-I must really object to the remarks
Of the Senator. We are merely defending our rights
Suppose that we defend them in strong language
have we not right to do so? Surely the Senator
cannot mean to impute to us the motives Of low am
bition. He cannot realize our position. For myself
land presume may speak for those who act with
mel we place this question upon high and exalted
grounds Long as he may have lived in the neghbor-
hood of Saveholding States he cannot have realized
anything on the subject must object entirely to his
course and say that is at least offensive as that
of the Senator from New Hampshire
Mr.. CrHenden.-W What is the motion pending?
The Presiding OGcer.-The Senator from Pennsyl-
vania made motion to adjourn, but gave way to the
Senator from South Carolina.
Nh Crjttenden.-i intend to renew that notion
think after the excitement we have all witnessed to-
day, we will be better prepared to decide with the
elaboration which usually marks the proceedings OF
this body, at future session. move therefore, that
we now adjourn
Mr.. Benton.--Will the gentleman withdraw the
motion for moment? move that the paper be print
ed
Ordered, Tint the bill be printed for the use of the
Senate.
