and what is more, is largely interested in pro-

not burn with patriotic FIRE; the men who were
butchered were not his countrymen.

CAPTAIN ROBERT ELLIs.-This young officer.
of Washington city, lately attached to the Lo-
pez expedition, and who has just returned to
his family and friends, is thus spoken of by the
New Orleans Delta:
''Those who witnessed his bearing during the
trying scenes of the campaign of General Lopez,
bear testimony to his noble, heroic conduct. At
Las Pozas he was badly wounded in the hand
and groin, but continued at the head of his
company cheering them on, and loading and
firing his musket, which he managed with fatal
dexterity. When the battle was over, he tainted
from loss of blood and was taken to the hos
pital. Fearing that he would not be able to
accompany Lopez, he requested friend to
leave him a pistol, intending to kill himself
rather than be captured by the Spaniards. For
tunately, however, his strength returned; and
though faint and weak, he joined the column,
and continued throughout the battles and trials
which followed, maintaining the same heroic
and gallant bearing. His conduct excited the
admiration of the Spaniards to such degree,
that since he has been in Havana he has re-
ceiyed the most courteous and kindly treatment
from the highest officers of the government
down to the humblest menial."
GENERAL ScorT's LErTER.-The Portland
argus criticises this production pretty severely,
and says:
:" He shows excellent good sense, by the way,
in one paragraph for lie says if he were to
answer the queries put to him, it would be "to
the disgust Of the public" We have not the
slightest doubt Of it. -
His postscript is magnanimous. Having
declined saying anything, he boldly avows that
he is perfectly willing to have what he writes
and says publishedn'
There ought to be presidential Candi-
dates Complete Letter-Writer," and Mr.. Van
Buren's correspondence alone win furnish per-
feet models; but we suppose he will not con-
sent to its publication yet awhile, not knowing
what may turn up for himself in the list Of
chances.
