Gen. TaVi1r.

We take the following highly interesting article concerning the President of the Re public from the Home Journal:
 "The .hero- President has been more truihfuly described than any man we ever read much of before seeing. One who, had not learned how extremes touch in manners the most courtly polish and the most ab- solute simpIicity--migh be surprised, only with that complete putting every one in his presence at ease, which is looked upon in England as the result Of high breeding, and which Gen. Taylor's manners affect, with out the slightest thought given to the mat ter. apparently, and with lbe fullest preser- vation of dignity. Rough and Ready in this way an English Duke would be as well and by the way, his readiness is of simpli- city and genuineness which it is wonderful indeed 10 find so high on the ladder of pref erment-Three was but six or eight persons n the room when the party we accompa- nied were presented to the President and the conversation, for the ten minutes we were there, was entirely unsiudied, and be- tween himself and the ladies only. But we should have been any where struck with the instant directness, obv;ousness, and prompt and closeIy-httng mmediateness with which he invariably replied to whar was said. Let it be ever so mere a trife the return thought was from the next link of association. Most great men, diplomat ists and politicians particularly, go ''abou the bush'' little for reply to remark emitting the obvious and simple answer il might suggest, for the sake perhaps, of al appearance of seeing more scope in the bearing of the matter. But Taylor-we thought we could make certain, even iron these few brief moments of observation-- has no dread of your seeing his mind exactly as it works, and has no care whatever ex cept to think and speak truthfully wha comes first, regardless of any policy or man agement of ifs impression on the listener.-- The key of his voice at the same time, is tha of thorough frankness, good humor, ant inconsistencies of observation, while hi T smile is easy and habitual The grace witt
 which these out -ot-door characteristics ac companying a mouth of such indomitabl
 resolution, and an eye of such searching an
 inevitable keenness, explains, perhaps, th
 secret of the affection that is so well know1 ito nave feen rTirr7lveAs r,itA-tha- nnnfidin ,, devotion felt for him throughout the army It is impossible to look upon the old hero
 we should say, without loving and belle, T inc in him.

4 Smart Woman.

The Grove Hill (Ala.) Recorder states that in the county of Choctaw, new one, created at the recent session of the Ala bama Legislature, a woman was charged with murdering herhusband, and employed a legal gentleman, whose name it is not ne cessary to mention, to defend her, promls- ing him two negroes, as his fee. lie un- dertook her defence, and contrary to the expectation of all, she was acqultted; ne called upon hei for the two negroes when she gravely informed him that the negroes belonged to her daughter. Not rellshIns the idea of being cheated out of the negroes he instituted suit against her for perjury which she defended and muIcted hlm Tor lhe cost In short time she gave birth 10 an illepitimate child, made oath that he was thesfather, and compelled him to enter into bonds for it's support and maintenance, ac cording to the statutes in such cases made and provided.

The Southern Convention in Tennessee

Yesterday we conversed With an lhteIli- gent citizen of Nashville, in regard to the Convention of the Southern States proposed to be held in that city in June next lie informs us that there is almost an unanim- ous opposition to it among the citizens of that place and throughout the middle Por- ton of the State. Both whigs and demo- crats are alike hostile to ii, excepting very few. and those of not much promInehce' who belong 10 the chivalry school ot poll- ticians. This feeling of opposition IS so strong as to have manifested itself in de, termination. almost universally acquesced in. not to permit the State Capitol to be used for the sittings of an assembIage ot persons from other States, whose action IS intended to have any reference to dsso- luton of the Union. The different denom- nations of Christians in this vicinity are equally determined that their churches shall not be desecrated by such use of them. We may conclude, therefore, that the Southern "resistants" will find themselves, on the Ist of June, in want of a place for their meeting in the beautiful and, we may add patriotic "City ofRocks."

Every young man should remem CT tiat the world always has and always will hon. or industry. The vulgar and useless idler whose energies of mind and body are rust ing for the want of exercise-the miStaken being who pursues amusement as relief 10 his enervated muscles, or engages in exer- cises that produce no useful end, may look with scorn on the laborer engaged m his toll: but his scorn is praise; his contempt is an honor. Honest industry will secure the respect of the wise and the good among men. and yield the rich fruit of an easy con- science, and give that hearty self-respect which is above all price. Foil on, then, young men and young women. Be diIisens in business. Improve the heart and mind, and you will find "lhe well-spring ot enjoy ment in your own souls,' and secure the confidence and respect of all those whose respect is worth an effort to obtain.

IL was remarked, day or two since, by grey-haired patriot, who has served his country in the council chamber and on the battlefield, that if such un assembly IS the proposed Nashville Convention, having dis union in view, had met whilst Gen. Jack son was President. he would have dispersed it as a band of traitors! Our venerable friend loves this glorious Union; it is assoca- ted with all that is halIowed in his memory, and he cannot tolerate that spirit of evil that would destroy it.

 Nashville Convention.

This Convention appears to be doomed.-- Some of its advocates are for changing the place, seeing the feeling that is exhibited in Tennes see, on the subject The people, in various sections, are not only refusing 10 appoint dele gates, but are openly and indignantly denoun- cling it. Some of the delegates who have been nominated. are refusing to serve. One of these, the Hon ". J. LAWSON, writes to the Savan- nah G9orgiU2, leading democratic paper. de- clining to serve in the Nashville Disunion Convention, and says: "l have devotion almost to dolatry for the stars and stripes. - Such VIC believe, is the general sentiment ot the South, and we are every day more and mere convinced that every politician who may take an active part in that Convention IS doomed to political death. Our own Legislature has very wisely avoided all connection with 1t, and re- fused 10 take any steps towards sending dele gates. We are informed by member, that If the question had been pressed to vote Tn the lower House, there would have been majority of two to one against even submitting to the peo- pie the question of electing delegates.
 The South is fully aware of its rights, and able and prepared to maintain and protect them' without holding such kind of sectional conven- tions, or dealing in idle threats against the Union.
 The Nashville Bmmer, in allnson 10 the sub, ject, says:
 "The objects of the Convention now apparent in all their defomity They (the leaders of the move men) proclaim, in advance their determination to brlng about If possible, pure of the great contederacy cf States-that confederacy yet the hope of the or pressed ofthe civilized word-the asylum ofthe down rodden of all the lands; and Tennessee-the capitol of Tennsseeis to be made the theatre of this treason aeanst the human race its progress and it's hopes.-- The people of Tennessee are warned of it and t js for them to the crisseo take such action as the pressing emergency of the ease may warrant. fhei
 first duy we repeat is stand by the honor ot thelF State; we cannot doubt their full willingness and deter imitation to do it."

The Union.
BY WALTER H. PETERS.

Giant structure of our fathers
 Thou shalt stand till ages dim, In forgotten wreck and chaos
 Live bat in oblivion's hymn Thou shalt stand sublime and lasting, Onward .breasting fear and hate, Thou shalt stand and outlive sceptre, Sword, and irony and hate. Rights impregnagable forces,
 Truths stronghold of tue world Doubts nor fears. nor tremors shake us, Tho clouds have OCT thee cured. Doubts nor fears, nor tremors shake us. For there dwells not in the land The slave with heart of courage
 To raise his traitor hand Thy colossal broad foundation
 Is within a million hearts, With life inherent and coevil,
 And with but life departs. Dazzled not by pomp nor power
 Dazzled not by gloss or glare The UNION all the UNION!
 Yes, the UNION is our prayer!

Alone for the Past,

The Washington Union exclaims, "The Democracy of the Union must and will save the Union" ."-WeII, we hope they will. Democratic lust for territory brought on the war which resulted in the acquisition of the Mexican territories, and thereby made ground for odious sectional controversies. 4 Democratic member of Congress thrust the Proviso into the Legislation ofthe coun- try-Democratic Southern votes pushed it through the Congress as attached to the Oregon biIl-the signature of Democratic President made it law. Democratic ul- traism, in the Free-SoilerS of the North and in the al-aIl-hazards-and-t d-to-the- ast-extrem- ity men of the South, infamed sectional feeling into madness and the threatened ruin of the Republic. It is time that "the Democracy of the Union" were at work to "save the Union." They should do some thing to atone for the past; and ifthey hasten otin their atonement, the Kentucky States man will have done bis perfect work, and left, in his triumph, no labor of repentance 10 their dIatory host,-American Eagle.
