RECEPTION OF VISITORS AT THE WHITE

= RECEPTION OF VISITORS AT THE WHITE
HoUsE.-The Washington National Whig
in noticing the reception by Gen. Taylor,
of the numerous friends who daily call
to see him, says that there is no formality
or ceremony in these interviews between
the Chief Magistrate and his fellow
citizens. The doors of the mansion are
thrown wide open, and visitors walk
directly to the reception room of the
President, and introduce themselves He
has no personal attendants about him, to
stand between him and the people, but
he mingles with the crowd in the most
familiar manner, having pleasant word
for all.

OuEER,-The Washington papers con-
tain singular letter, written by General
Shields, now Senator from Illinois, to
Judge Breese, recent Senator from tie
same State Gen. Shields, it seems, was
student in the law Office of Judge
Breese, and was successful competitor
for the seat in the Senate held at present
by the Judge Gen. Shields, in this.let-
ter, charges Judge Breese with having re.
ceived him at Washington with coldness
and unkindness-also with having circ u
lated the report that he was not citizen,
and consequently was ineligible to a seat
in the Senate and that he wrote an article
in the ST. Louis Republican to that effect;
and he informs the Judge. "th0t I'VE had
sasoyu IN his heart that he neuer qco.nld
hare profsed by his success, ama that he
qootld haze kept his voao regardlesS of
ci;ycaxnastoasces. The Judge having been
defeated, bis vow is cancelled. He far
ther demands of Judge Breese. letter
acknowledging that be had himself fur
nished him with a, final certificate of nat
uralization, in Efingham court, and he
gives hun wha1 he calls fair warning y
that the consequences will fall on his
head, should he refuse, and that he shall
hold himself acquitted, both before God
and man, for the course he shall feel
bound to pursue towards him."
This letter was evidently designed to
be private, but Judge Breese published it
with some comments, in which he dis
tinctly denies the allegations of General
Shields.
The day succeeding its publication,
Gen. Shields published an apologetic let
ter, wherein he declares that his letter to
Judge Breese was written under excite
ment, etc. The apology is just as blum.
dering as the original offence, and instead
of exculpating, we think, makes the wri.
ter more cuIpable. 1t is almost impossi.
BILE to imagine any circumstances under
which either the first letter or the apollo.
gy could have been written by a sane
man in Gen. Shields position.

No The Little Rock mail, due on Sum
day night, arrived on Monday evening.
and judging from the quantity and dates
of MANY O: our Exchanges, all the back
mails have been brought up. We received
Little Rock papers, bearing date from
the 18th to the 30th ult., and Eastern pa
pers from the 9th of December, up to the
10Th of March inclusive. The Stage, on
this occasion, was drawn by p mule, and
the leanest kind of a horse. FOO much
flesh is said to be unfavorable for swift
travelling, and the team which came In on
Monday, had the appearance Of having
been trained with an eye to this principle
1t would be advisable, we think, tor the
.centractor to instruct his drivers, to travel
altogether at night after the buzzards had
retired to roost, as it might probably save
him the expense Of replenishing his stock.
We have heard it stated, but cannot
youch for its correctness, that corn was
getting scarce on the route, and that the
delays were occasioned by stoppages
made for the purpose of grazing the teams.
If this be so, we may expect our mails
more regularly. as the grass improves.
