GEN. LANE
The Wing copies a scurrilous article from
the Louisville Journal justiiying the remova
by Gen Taylor of Gen Lane, tho "Maron o.
the Mexican war; on the ground that Gen. L
Tin his addresses and publications relative 1t
the battle Of Buena Vista, was guilty Of the
basest fasshoods and calumnies, and of course
that no was a. thoroughly dishonest and unprin
cipled man, unit 10 hold any office Of lrus,

able authority for the truth of any charges
ainst political opponent, and the country
will receive its evidence with grea, dislrust.-
But admitting that Gen. L. had done injustice
to Gen. Taylor, was it magnanimcus in The
Second Washington" who had mo enemies 10

gallant companion 10 arms-of whom Gen.
Ia, lor in his solemn official despatch OF 9th
March, lS47, describing the victory at Buena
Vista, speaks in the following complimentary
terms, in the same paragraph which eulogizes
Gen. Wool7
"Brisader General Lane Slightly wounded
was active and zealous throughout the day,
ami displayed great coolnes, and gallanlry be-
lore The enemy."
Here is man, acknowledged by Gen Taylor
to have fought brayely, and to have shed blood
in The cause Of the country, dismissed with dis.
grace from the coun,ry's service by President
Taylor, from spirit Of personal revenge! The
'heroic age' has retrrnei with a vengeance
and tho spirit of The First Washington shows
itself every day in its present embodiment!
But, continues the same immaculate Louis
vile Journal:

Gen. Lane has been di>misst OH acc, unt OF his

CAPTAIN TYLER AMONG THE LIONS
Among the numerous travellers of dis
tinction who have lately visited New
York, says the Herald, is ex-President
Tyler. With his youthful and happy
bride, he was for some days at the Irving
House, en- route for his hermitage on James
river, after a very favorable reception
among the educational societies of New
England, including especially, the Young
Ladies Female Collegiate Institute at
Pittsfield, Massachusetts. OF late years.
amid the excitemeuts of the terrible aud
disastrous revolutions in Europe, and the
smoke and dust of cabinet panics at home.
the veto President has been lost sight of,
like a Jack lantern in thick fog; but
as The wars, the panics, and cholera SUBJ
side, he peeps from his shell like terra
pin, and walks out into the world Having
seen that all is going on as well as could
be expected, he retlres from public OBJ
servation again to the shades of private
life. What blessed institutions are ours
one ex-President raising cabbages, and
another cultivating tobacco The refec-
ton is sublime.

The FRENCHMAN OvERBOARD.-We
heard good story the other day of
Frenchman who came very near COM
hitting involuntary suicide by drowning
himself in the Ohio. That classic stream
has lately been very low, there only be-
ing sufficient water TO permit the passage
of very small.sized boats. On one of
these a Frenchman, just arrived from la
belle France, and consequently ignorant
Of manners and customs on western steam
boats, had taken passage from Pittsburg
to New Orleans. The water was very
low, the stream very contracted, and the
bars very frequent. Every few miles the
boat would get hard aground on one of
these impediments, while its passengers
would be annoyed by the sight of more
fortunate pedestrians wading from Ken
tucRy to Ohio, or vice versa. One day
the boat as usual struck on bar, where
she seemed likely 20 be permanent fix
ture until the next spring treshet should
float her of. After many eXpedients had
been tried in vain TO move her from her
position, the pilot said to the passengers,
who were on the hurricane deck, ''Now,
gentleman, all run forward at once, and
l think she'll go over just as easy as fall
ing off log" Accordingly all started
off as if they were running for a wager,
and our Frenchman, without exactly
knowing why, but having an indistinct
notion that something was wrong, not
only followed their example, but soon
outstripped the rest. Just at this moment
some malicious individual called out
"Jump, jump which words the French
man happened to understand. So, instead
of stopping where the others did, to the
astonishment of every body, he threw
himself headlong into the river. A yawl
was Immediately lowered. aud the poor
Frenchman was rescued from his perilous
position, without having sustained any
injury except thorough wetting and
good fright. As soon as he could speak.
he said. with an expression of anger.
which, taken in couneXion with his words,
was rather ludicrous:
"Vat you mean by say Jump, jump
You tell me 10 jump, and your d-n boat
no blow up at all, and get one ducking
for nothing, he?'-Ptcayune.

Poor Smith stood for a moment. not ex.

hugged his boots to his side, coughed

was over, the lady brought forward
chair, and placing it before the victim,
said:
"Pray, be seated, Mr.. Smith,"
He turned upon his tormentor look
of comical recognition, and like, Falstaf.
his wits coming quickly to his relief he
replied:
'Did you think, Cally. 1 didn't know

Another roar followed this remark and

THE TULAREE PLAINS IN
CALIFORNIA.

The Galena Advertiser publishes the fol-
lowing extract from private letter from
California:
The Gold Mines have actually ruined
California, in an agricultural point of view
In fact agriculture will never be of any
consequence i'll this country, except where
water can be found to rrigate the land, and
water is scarce all over the country, cxcep,
in the mountains. As grazing country,
it is probably the best in the world and
statement Of the number of cattle, horses,
elk, deer, antelope, &C., that roam wild
over the Tularee Plains would not be cred
tied, if stated. These Plains are, on AN
average, fifty miles wide and five hundred
miles long. In crossing them | have seen
drove of elk that covered more than four
square miles of ground, all running at the
height of their speed. Droves of wild hors-
es and antelopes were quietly feeding IA few
miles distant, without maniiesting the least
alarm, as they are accustomed TO such STAN
pedes of elk. Millions OF wild geese were
flying overhead, having been aroused by the
elk. Their noise was dcafening, Tray-
cling two and half hours at a brisk pace,
through this wilderness of animated nature,
brought us to the San Joaquin's timbered
banks and to water.
A, the crossing, the Tularee Plains are
forty-one miles wide. The river, like Il
huge anaconda, winds through their centre.
The PLAIN is without wood or water, except
Immediately on the banks of the river. The
Plains are literally covered with elk horns,
some of them so large that | could not lift
them. One set in particular, was so enor-
nous, that twomen had heavy lift to throw
it into the wagon. 1t is to be seat home as
a curiosity. At the river we got some of
the finest salmon, which were speared by
our Indians. We also caught some small
fish with hook and line. The water is
cold, clear, and transparent Salmon of
twenty-five to sixty pounds weight were
seen, vending their way up the stream.-
We crossed the river in boat, swimming
our horses. The terryman-a Mlssonrian
told me that fever aud ague prevailed to
fearful extent in the neighborhood, and
soon had occular demonstration of the fact
by the shaking of couple of hereditary
bondsmen from Mexico, who were crossing
over with us. But the mines, considering
the exposure to which a man is subjected,
are healthy. Intermittent fever is common
but it yields readily to quinine. But Ole
man died of bilious fever while | was there
he was an Oregonian.
