Mr.. Young has executed work of surpass-
ing interest in the forthcoming volume, noticed
by the Tribune. No career of public man in
this country presents so many striking and ex-
traordinary features as that of Gen. Cass; and
Mr.. Young is exactly the person to give them
life and interest. We doubt indeed, if there is
another citizen in the whole West who is bet
ter qualified than Mr. Young for the task he has
undertaken, and we have occasion to know that
in his hands many of the events connect
ed with the life of the General have been pre-
scented in that clear and octire style which are
so necessary to give life and interest to from

n9ye The life of General CAss is truly an
eventful one, and we are pleased to learn that
a competent Biographer has had the work in
hand; on account of political persecution and
prescription, it seems to be impossible to fill
the measure of Justice due the General, during
the present generation. It will devolve upon
those that outlive the subject of the work now
ready for the press, to engrave the character of
the man, where it really, truly and deservedly
should be, on the highest niche of fame. He is
famous for having devoted a whole life to the
service of his country-in peace or in war, in
the halls of legislation, or in the more dear So
broad, the good of his country, and the whole
country, has ever been the polar star of his life.

GENERAL JAIL DELIvERY.-We have way
of saving expense in this County that cannot
be beat All the secret about it is, that the
Sheriff has only to be a little needless, or en-
ploy Jaier that is, and either leave the Jail
door open, or so that it can be opened by the
prisoners, and they will be very sure to leave.
Monday evening last, Sheriff ScoTT, locked his
Jail door in the centre staple, so that the lock
could be reached by one of the prisoners. An
old mechanic, by the name of Larkins, happened
to be there for lascivious behavior; he by some
means opened the door, and in company with
the celebrated "cothes thief" walked out in
the darkness of the night. Carey, charged with
the crime of murder, and Andrews, charged with
passing counterfeit money, were asleep, and
did not know that the Jail door was open.
sW" We are indebted to Hon. LEWIS CAss,
for a valuable public document, entitled I" Re-
commissioners in New Mexico and Texas, &C."

TWILIGHT.

There is On hour Of calm repose
Which gives pause to life's stern woes
The hour of Natures sweetest mood,
When thought awakes with gratitude;
It is the twilight's holy hour,
When dews refresh the dropping flower.
There is IN hour Of solitude,
When no unhallowed thoughts intrude;
When contemplation. pure, sublime,
Is lifted from the things Of time;
1t is the twilight's halcyon hour,
The boon Of IN Almighty Power.
There Is an hour of placid rest,
Which frees from care the weary breast;
The spirits joyous hour Of light,
Though gathering shades bespeak the night
1t is the twilight's soothing hour,
When dews refresh the dropping flower.
There is an hour, so calm and pure,
The sickness Of the soul twill cure;
The weary brow to peace restore,
The same I've felt in days Of yore;
1t is the twilight's welcome hour,
The gift Of an Almighty Power.
