ter rain of several days, the wind sud-

A foreign CORES pondent of the Phila-
delphia Museum gives the following des-
cription of Marshal Haynau's personal
appearance
"Gen. Haynau is. savage locking
wretch. He is an old man, of livie
countenance, eyes prominent and glaring
and long white moustache. lie looks
blood and thunder. His countenarce is
really most villainous, and would make
the fortune of an artist, as the ideal OF {
cut throat. His name needs but little
change to render it Hyena, and his char
acter needs none at all, as poor Hungar,
can testify"

Whig OpiniGN of a Democrat and
Democrats opinion Of q WING.

Mn. EAsrMAN.-The Grant County
Herald, Wing, speaks Of Ben c. East
man, the newly elected Congressman in
this district, in the following compliment
tary terms
.Mr. Eastman is Loco Foco, dyed
in the wool, and has been ever since our
acquaintance with him. His election is
a Democratic gain, and in our estimation
he is the best man named for that station
by his party"
The above will do very well for a
Wing paper-especially one guilty Of
applying the epithet Loco Eoco" to the
democracy. So far as Mr.. Cole is con-
cerned, we have uniformly borne testi-
mony to his high qualifications as a
scholar and statesman, and his good quail
tiles as man and citizen. A personal
acquaintance of several years standing
enables us to say that we do not think a
more capable Wing for the station can
be found in the district. Furthermore,
we know it was settled purpose with
him not to be a candidate again; and his
denomination, as is well known, was
not accomplished through any agency Of
his. He retires to private life, with a
reputation unsullied, enjoying the re-
spect and esteem of good men of all
parties and his place is filed by gen.
tleman equally worthy in all respects
with the additional qualification that he
represents truly the political sentiments
of a majority Of the people of the dis
trict.-Wis. argus.
HWe publish the above to give al
idea of the estimation in which Hon. O
Cole is held, even by his political enc
mics. Had his own party known ant
appreciated his worth, he would hav,
been the member elect for the next Cor
gress.

Es- Stanslaus, King Of Poland, had an astonist.
ing memory. VolIaire waited on the Monarch, by
HIS invitation, to read to him his tragedy of G ipus,
then revised. While the reading was in progress,
the King engaged in game Of chess with the
Duke Of Narbonne. Sire said Voltaire, at II e
cad of the third act, 81 shall be deprived throue
your present occupation, OF your excellent ad vice -
Not at all" replied the King, and to prove this,
| will now point out TO You those changes which
are most happy" The King then quoted one
hundred and eighty new verses, made udicious
remarks on them, and finished, notwithstanding
by winning the game.
