The BiOgFaphers OF Mr.
Luke Lea.

Mr.. Lea is winning lourols very
rapidly. from bis biographers. Since
the editor Of the Southlon tried his
hand at it, the editor Of the Buple.
another whigpapcr, published at Pom.
totoc, has taken up the pen. Il will
be recollecied that Statcmanship was
the great theme OF the first biographerr
and he detailed his brilliant career in
the Legislature Of Tennessee, where
he served in the capacity Of a Clerk.
and assiSned to him am important
part Of the work Of putting the whole
machinery Of Government into opera
ton, after being electedby the legis-
lature 10 the Secra tatyship Of State
In view Of the fact that the then Gov
ernor Of Tennessee was an old and
experienced public man, and Mr Lea
comparatively a STRIPPING, and whose
Office was one entirely subordinate
to the Governor, we thought the as.
sertion rather a fancy sketch-but
such as biographers ofall great men
are licensed to take. The editor Of
the Bugle, however, thinks that Lea
is not yet high enough up in the pic
lures. lie tolls his readers therefore,
that Mr. Lea lost his leg IN the Bat
| ties of the Creek war; The demo
cratic contemporary of the Bugle, very
unfortunately for Mr.. Luke Lea's
military fame, shows that the Creek
war took place when he was only
about four years old! The truth is.
that Mr. LEAFS misfortune, was caus-
ed by white swelling. and this kind Of
Munchausen sketches Of his past his
tory, only tend to disgust political
friends and Goes.--NiSSisSippian.
