The Hon. sssssss sRssss who as Bapsist preacher and lieutenant governor, hsd st one and the same time been in the service Of the Lord, and of the State of Illinois, becoming dissatisfied with the honors or profits both; Of the posts he held, determined to resign them, and devote his time and talents to the assistance of the administration in carrying on the general government of the country. Accordingly he cane to Washington, and laid his case before the President. He stated his preten- tions and his wishes, nafratel al some length all the prominent events of his political life, dweil- ing especially upon his untiring devotion to the democratic party, the sacrifices he had submitted 10, the exertions he had made in it's behalf and it's consequent indebtedness to him. but said not a word of what he had done for the cause of re- ligion. Gen. Jackson heard the cleflcai aspirant through in silence, and after musing a moment, put the following question to him
 "Mr. K, are you not q minister of the Gosnel1''
 < I am, sis" was the reply.
 "Then, Sir," said the General, with his usual quiet dignity, ''you hold already a higher office than any in my gift--an office whose sacred au- ties, properly performed. requires your whole at tention; and really think the best that 1 can do for you will be to leave you at liberty to devote your whole time to them; for, from what you tell ne, fear that hitherto they have been somewhat neglected /"

one Way to right a Duel.

A Scotch major who had been so skiIlful with the sword as to fight several duels, with repeated success, but who, on account of his extreme de- sire for quaTreling, when little intoxicated, and for his boasted courage; was deserted and despsed by his brother officers. one evening to large company. There happened to be present Yam kee, an officer of a regiment, who related, among other things, the failure of certain expedition, in which he had the misfortune to be wounded.
 "That was because you were rascaliy set of cowards,' observed the major.
 "You are d--d liar p says the Yankee.
 The company started.
 The Scotchman looked down on him with as much contempt as Go.iah did upon David, and immediately asked, "Are you man to meet meP'
 "Yes," replied the Yankee, "at any time and where you please, only with the proviso, that we meet without seconds"
 "Wel, then tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock, ct to
 Agreed"
 The company present endeavored to disSuade the Yankee, telling him that the major had every advantage where he had none, and he had better compromise matters ere he should have cause to repent his fashneSs but still persisted.
 The next morning the Yankee repaired to the place somewhat before the appointed hour armed with large musket. Shortly after, the major made his appearance with brace of pistols and sword. Before he advanced far, the Yankee, in an austere tone, bid him stop or he would blow his brains out
 The major, struck dumb with amazement at this unexpected stratagen, reluctantly obeyed. but ex- poStulated with him on the injustice of such un- gentlemanlike proceedings. The Yankee was im- placable, and determined to punish him for past conduct and the abuse he had himself received.
 Lay down your sword and pistols p says he, still presenting his musket " and to the right about face, marchP'
 The poor major was again under the necessity of obeying, and, uttering a voley of curses against his star, passvely submitted. The Yankee then quietly took possession of his arms.
 "'T's base, 'tis cowardly thus to disam me of all defencey' says the major.
 "No" replied his fellow combatant, "I will deal honorably with you there, take my musket (throw'ng it towards him and defend your lifeP'
 He, quite incensed, seized the weapon with a mixture of exultation and precipitate venge. ance, and, rushing forward demanded his aitns or he would blow him to hell! Blow away and be d-dw says the Yankee
 Provoked at such unparalleled insolence, in a fit of phrepzy he drew the trigger But, alas! the muSket had not been charged!
 The glory of our braggadoeio was so sullied, and his feelings so mortally wounded by this in dignity, that he sold his commission and left the nlaca

DIsunlon Madness.

Mir. Woodward, a member of Congress from South Carolina, happening to be in Mobile, ad- dressed the Southern Rights Association there.-- The violence of hts lang uage sarpasses anything that have seen from the most bitter fountain of disunonism. He denounced the " Southern trait or. Howell Cobb" and said "t the man who tells you that the Compromise will put stop to sggres- sion, LIES frOns ths b7fsea ef hs throat! And the member of Congress who tells you SO. IS rilain and q scoamdrel? Great eheering.) He said you could nos compel the free negroes to leave the country, and the negroes themselves were deter mined not to so. Fred. Douglas had declared he was an American citizen, and would not be driven from American soil. And, said Mr. w, with great emphaSls, "the negroes are right. Were a ne- gro, would DYE before would be compelled to leave fhe countryp' He denounced all schemes Of colonization and deportation, not only vision ary out mischlevous, and said " he who talks to you Of colonization or deportation. is either niae, kRape, or q Vooi.n
 ThisAs silly and unwarantable Language, when it IS recollected that many of our best men and truest Southern champions, are members of the Colonization Society.
 The Union he felt " contempt far. Indeed. said he, Git is gone, irreyocably and hopelessly gone. The fault is all our own-the fault of the South.' He went on: e let Gen. CaSs be once more disappointed .in his hopes of reaching the Presidency, and he will be as rabld Aboltionist as IS to be found in the Northp' So too. he said, it WitH hF DuCuaud1J with ME. " OOu- bury and all other Northern asprantS for the Presi deney! (So, m the estimation of MT. Woodward there are no honest men at the North. They are knayes all !
 Mir. Woodward advised the Southern Rights men of Alabama, to keep up their own organlza- ton avoid old parties and stand by "Southern Rights" This is advice worthy of heated and desperate disunioniSt.
 or the probable course of South Carolina he said he spoke without authority, and could give no positive information.--He had no douht, how ever, that she will Secede, but when, will depend on the progress of aggression in Congress and the sympathy of other Southern States. She was ready to do anything that her sister States of the South would say, except submit. If they would promise their cooperation in resisting the aggFes- sion at any future time--saY even five years hence --she would accede to it. She did not wish to separate from her sister States of the South, whom she loved, and whose interests were identical ith her own.
 She expected between this and the time for hold ing her convention, that such new aggressions would be made to bring to her side other, If not all the Southern States but whether this should happen or not, the result was not the less sure

The seduction Case at springfield, Mass.

Excitement ggaftst the Priest Hts Statement.
 The Catholic priest, Rev. J. J. Doherty, off, eeted in his pulpit, at Springfield, Mass, on Sun day. He made speech to the audience upon the prosecution against him, referred to the aceusa- ton that he had p1d St, 500 and other sums for settlement, and lead paper drawn up by the counsel on both des. The purport of t was, that "for divers F-asonS, and especially for the sum of one dollar received to his full satisfacton Edwara Monaghan agreed to withdraw the prose- cution pending against J. Doherty for the seduc- ton of his daughter, Mary Monaghan" He sad that he settled for the sake of peace and because he could not expect an impartial trial. It was not true that he had ever, in any manner of form, made confession of guilt God knocs has ina0- cenee, he said impreSslvely. His course, he said, had received the full approbaton of the bishop. And" said the revefend gentleman, ''so long as II IS his pleasure to keep me here, shall remain" The feeling, however, Of the people of that place IS shown by the following, from the Springfield Republican:
 ''On Saturday evening Rev Mr Doherty visited his church with View oi making preparations for the Sabbath, but was not allowed to enter, some of the members of his congregation guard ing the door to prevent hIln. As he returned to his carriage several stones and pieces of wood were thrown al him. He declared his intention nevertheless to oficiate the next day, and threats were offered that he should be put out of the church if he attempted it."
 Since the trial, too, letter has been received by Mir. Monaghan from Mir Howard, Catholic priest of Ohio who came on visit to NIT. Doherty on the 18th of April, ls50 and remained till the 2Sd, when he says he saw Miss Monaghan in the house. MT. D. had introduced testimony during the trial to show that sine was not ill the house at that time, as It was between these dates that the alleged seduction took place.
