Com HUll--Gem. Taylor.

In an article on the subject of "Manncrs and
Speech-making," the Washington Republic
relates the incident quoted below:
Some of the opposition journals find it rare
sport to %criticise Gen. Taylor's speeches and
ridicule his manners. They say that he is
awkward before strangers and does not make Il
favorable impression. On this point there may
well be Il difference of opinion. Surely enough,
he has not the manners of a dancing master,
but it has been well said that he gave Il reccp-
ton to twenty thousand strangers at Euena
Vista, in a style that few dancing-masters could
have equalled.
AS to his spcech-making, the people knew
very well what kind of speeches Gen. Taylor
made before they elected him President. liea-
ven has bestowed dives gifts on divers persons.
1t was not necessary for General Taylor to
make long speeches, in order to gain the popu-
lar confidence; and that confidence will not be
withdrawn because he fails to make long
speeches.
When the chivalrous Hull broke the spell of
England's supremacy on the ocean,, by the cap
ture of the Guerrero, on his return to port he
was complimented by the citizens of Bostonwith
a public dinner. The cloth being removed, after
a few preliminary toasts, came that to the honor
of the captain: Our gallant guest, who has
secured for himself a name and Il praise among
his countrymen, and added terror to the courte-
sy of his country's flag" The toast was drank
with enthusiasm, and then all was quiet.
A friend, sitting next to the gallant captain,
said, "Sir, we are waiting for your speech" A
speech, said the chivalrous but modest Hull, Il
cam make one-I don't know how" A gentle
man on the opposite side ofthe table exclaimed,
audibiy, "Sir, you are in for a speech. Don't
you see that the president is waiting for your
response to the toast" The noble tar rose up
and said, ''M,r. President the gentlemen round
me say that you and the other gentlemen are
waiting for me to make IL speech. Sir, | never
made one in my life. can't do it, sir. Idon't
known how, sir. By-,Fd rather fight the
battle over again than try it."
The rafters of Faneuil Hall were a little dis
placed by the truthful delicacy of the gallant
captain; but we never heard that the newspapers
o fthat day thought tia proper subject Of ridicule,
or that it impaired the well-earned honovs Of
the chivalrous sailor.

MARRIAGE OF LOUIS NApoLEoN.-The Pre-
sident of the French is about to marry the
daughter Of the King of Sweden. 1t is not so
strange an alliance after all. The King of
Sweden is the son of a Marshal of France I'M
der Napoleon-the French President is the
grandson of a Vicompte of France under the
old regime. There is nothing unequal, socially
speaking, in the marriage of the grandson of
Beauharnois to the granddaughter of Berna-
dotte, the. descendant of a Frenchman made
King of Sweden, to the son of aFrenchman
made King of Holland.

MIssouRI.-Considerable interest has been
raised in relation to the result of the Missouri
election, since parties in that State have SO
strongly organized for and against Senator Ben

elects a United States Senator, does not take
place till August, 1850. The strife common
ced more than a year in advance of the cleo

TIE WAY THE ACCOUNTS FROM HUNGARY
CoME.-Gen. Weldon, the Governor of Wen

newspapers that they are not allowed to publish
any intelligence from the seat of war, except
what has been published in the official Weiner
Zeitung. Those who dare to disobey his orders
in this respect, are threatened with fines, and
with the suppression of their papers. This will
account for so many Austrian victories on pa

FLoRIDA.-Gov. Moseley, of Florida, has
borrowed 100000 on his own private credit of
the s. w. Railroad Bank Of Charleston, S..

called out for the defence of the frontier. 1t is
stated in the Wahulla Times that Gen. Twiggs
has received the volunteers. We doubt it. He
has applied for the consent of the Government,
but their declared policy is against it.

TIE INDIAN FIGHr.-The Chickasaw cores
pondent Of the Arkansas infeHigenccr, of the 9th
ult., under date Of May 18th, says:-Nothing Of
much importance has occurred beyond the Indian
fight which took Place few days ago. Ii grew
out Of depreciation Of the Wicheiaws, who, II
seems, stele about 30 head of horses from the De-
lawares and Caddoes, besides a large number they
had stolen from the citizens Of Texas. The Della
wares and Caddoes went to the camp of the Wi
chetaws, and talked with them nearly the whole of
n day, urging them TO give up their horses or others
in their places, but they refused positively do So
and made fun of them. There was a large gang
Of horses in sight, and the Deawares aud Caddoes
concluded that they would drive Off as many as
they could. They dashed in among them, and
started of with about sixty head. The Wiche-
taws followed and made an attack upon them-thc
fuIrrrr returned The firc, and the action continued
about an hour. Two Caddoes and one Anardarkic
were killed. The Wichetaws los, about III in all,
and the Caddoes came off with the horses. few
days before this happened Col. Upshaw, the Chick
asaw agent, had given two kechie chefs and se-
veral warriors of that band some tobacco go and
see the Wichetaws, and persuade them TO bring in
the horses they had stolen from the Texans; aud
they promised 10 GO and try and prevail upon the
WIchetaws to comply. Since the fight Col Up-
shaw gave the Deawares and Caddoes very posi-
tive talk, and told them under no circumstances
would they be permitted to fight and steal in the
Chickasaw district There are but few Chicka-
saws west of Fort Washitaw. although the best
part Of that district is west of the fortat least two
million of acres, and some Is of the best and most
beautiful country ever have seen.

declined an office; or ever resigned one,
or ever died when he had one; or ever
los, one by not begging for it.
