GEHrLEMEN: My attention has just been called
to a letter of the Hon. William A. Richardson,
published in your paper of the 29th inst, calling
on the President Of the United States TO remove
me from office, because he says he is informed, and
made the last election day, in this State. at the
precinct of Melrose, in this county, to the electors
Of said precincts that the Fugitive Slave law, passed
at the last session of Congress, suspended the writ
Of habeas corpus. and abolished trial by jury.
j, of course, do not know whether he was so in
formed, and did so believe not, but can and do
say that the information and bsief, if really given
and entertained, entirely false. / made no
speech at the time and place alluded TO, nor have
made any political speech at any place since the
election Of General Taylor to the Presidency.
shall give myself no concern about my honesty
and qualifications to discharge the duties of my
Office, until they called in question by some
person better qualified than Col. w. A. Richardson

aremarkable old ruin, q deserted Capuchin mo-
mastery called Ia desierta,) situated in roman
tic spot in the mountains, some fifteen or seven
teen miles from the city, where the sentiments
Of the Mexicans, as delivered in their toasts
and speeches, were filled with the most touch
ing testimonials Of respect and homage TO a
public enemy, whom they delighted to honor
as a man.
Where, in the annals of war, can such an
instance be found-such testimony to the
justice, generosity, and humanity of an enemy
at the very capital of the conquered country,
and the witnesses the very functionaries of the
civil government of that capital? And where
is there an American whose heart does not
throb with pride at the knowledge of this evil
dence Of greatness and goodness united in his
representative in command Of his army in for
eign country, furnishing an example for admi-
ration and emulation to all future time2
One of the instruments of this humanity
ought to be especially mentioned, for it entered
into the plan Of the campaign: | refer to the
order known as the martial-law order. The
projct of that order was submitted by the Cen
eral for the approval Of the War Department
in Washington city, and urged as means ne
cessary for diminishing the " horrors Of war"
but the War Department, from some cause or
other, would not assume the responsibility of
authorizing it. General Scorr, however, had
no sooner fairly entered upon the campaign
sponsibility; and by that act, and by his Judi
cious execution of its provisions, he did more
towards conquering the hearts of his enemies
than was possible, perhaps, by any other course
Whatever; while the order Cor code Of laws
rather) was, at the same time, powerful in
strument in preserving the discipline and eff
cheney of the American army.
A JMerican historian of the war, In late
work published in the city of Mexico, has made
the fullest concessions on this point, saying Of
General SCorr that " His humanity on all
occasions, his kindness, as evinced to every
individual, and his sympathy and attention to
6 the sick and wounded, endeared him to the
whole army-officers and soldiers. In fact,
the very generosity and excellence of his
heart led him sometimes too far, and he has
since reaped in ingratitude the good seed
sown in the fulness of his noble sensibilities."
The signal success Of the General in arms
his glory as solder--has in some degree pre-
vented the no less distinguished humanity and
justice of the General from being known--the
immediate age Of great man being commonly
less struck with noble pacific traits Of character
than with those more visible to the common eye.
But time will not fail to accord its due need of
praise neither, it is believed, will even the
present age be slow to make all suitable ac-
acknowledgements for men honor themselves in
honoring the truly great and noble. ~

Tnz QuIscy TRAeEDY-7he Mystery Unrau-
eAed.-We have published several accounts of =
mysterious tragedy recently enacted at Quincy,
Massachusetts. 1t will be remembered that tho
bodies Of man and woman-the latter dressed in
male clothing, and passing by the name of George
Sands, and the former as John Greene-were found
last week in the woods near Quincy, Massachu-
sets, lying side by side, with gun shot wounds In
their heads, and that the result Of the coroners in
quest was that the man had first shot the woman,
and then shot himself. M
We were yesterday called on by gentleman,
who informed VI that he fully recognises tho par
ties to this mystery as having been John Grieve
and his wife Hannah-the first the of Mr.. Peter
Grieye. of Zanesvle, Ohio, and the latter the
daughter of Mr.. John Banks, of the same place. He
states that they noted for their romantic
freaks, and that the wife had been known to attend
lectures, dressed in male attire, where one but
males were admitted, and that they made prac-
tce of going out in boat in the Muskingum river,
she atred as male, for purpose of fishing, sail
ing, bathing. &c
The minds Of these young people were evidently
deranged by French novels, spiritual knockings,
clairvoyance, and studying the philosophy of Mr..
Andrew jackson Davis.-BGltimorc Sun.
