that the colonel has despatched to Corpus Christi

A REAL DoUGHFAcE. TRUMAN SMITH has pubs
lished correspondence between himself and Gen.
Taylor, by which it ems that Gen. Il. offered him the
head of the Home Department. But Truman declined
the offer on the ground that 10 accept it after the active
part he had taken in procuring the nomination and eec'
ton of the General would lay him ofen TO 'the impu'
taon of having been acuated BY other than patriotic
motives" Moreover he thinks that, in the Senate he
can contribute 10 the success Of the Generals ado
ministration. In that station, he Says
"Whie ii will be my purpose to represent
faithfully the predomnatng feeling and sentl-
ment OF my own section, do not intend to be put
on extreme courses, and hope, by concurrence in
wise and moderate counsels, to aid in aIlaying
the irritation now existing, TO some extent, in the
public mind, and in adjusting pending questions
in such manner to satisfy good men in all
parts of the Union.'
Here we have the purpose, deliberately avowed, OF
sacrificing the principles and rights of the north 10 the
"success" of the administration. The compromise of
the Free Soil question is distinctly foreshadowed There
is no other mode of "adjasiing" the question that the
south will be satisfied WITH and therefore the north must

Extraordinary reasons for refusing For
tune lnthe neighborhood OF Louvain, Belgium,
resides an elderly man shepherd whose whole
property consist OF small hut and two or three
acres Of land. short time ago he was notified
by the minister of the interior that brother OF
his had died leaving him fortune of about $780,.
600. The shepherd however not little aston
ished his friends and relations by refusing TO ac-
cePt OF the legacy for three reasons. l, Firstly
he desired no money from brother who had led
wild life, beggared him and his parents and
shortened the lie OF the latter 2, On the age of
81 he could not resolve to be metamorphosed
from poor devil into rich man, he therefore
preferred remaining as he was. 3, The necessa-
ry amount OF business attending the receipt etc.,
OF the legacy would give him much trouble and
anxiety; and he did not wish merely for the sake
OF his heirs who would laugh at him for his trou-
Bile, to burthen then the remainder OF his life
with unnecessary cares, for which reason he
would be content with his own earnings-His
relations however were not content with these
reasons aud brought civil suit to force him to
accept OF his unwelcome legacy. This extraor-
binary suit has not yet been decided.

VERMONT ON THE LICENSE QUESTION:
The returns that have reached us show that the
vote on the license question has gone against the
grog shop by very large majority.
Two years ago, in vote OF 355O5, the No
License majority was SO9l. In the towns that
we have heard from, which are sufficient to in
dlcate the chances in all parts of the State, the
NO License majorities much larger, on the
whole, this year, than in lS47. The falling off
IN the license vote is particularly noticeable.
Many, doubtless, VINO voted to license last wear.
convinced by years experience of the results,
and yet not willing to go quite over to the other
side, declined voting at all. We think the No
Llcese majority must be at least three to one,
probably much more Vermont Chronicle
