tend to send Us down q barrel OF "Possum
Teddy" in return. As we intend to join the
Sons OF Temperance, nothing could be more
acceptable; so send it on a. soon as you
please, and we will be ready to receive it.
A Strange Present for a Bachelor.
Our old friend, MIR. John Thompson, we
should have thought knew US az well as any
other man in the city. He knew, at least,
that within the last twenty-five years, during
which he has been as we'll acquainted with US
as he has been with his day book and ledger,
he never saw US indulge in any thing that ap>
preached to foppery. In that respect we re-
semble number of great men, and we like to
resemble great men, even though the resem.
blance may not consist in a similarity Of qua
lities. The Duke of Wellington always was
said to be the worst dressed man in Europe
1t was for that reason that the Parisians, who
do not, at best, pronounce the w as we'll as
we Anglo-Saxons, called him " Villainton."
Our readers will remember the lines of Lord
Byron,
"Oh! Wellington or Velanton, for fame
Sounds the heroic syllable both ways;
France could not even conquer your great name,
But punned it down to this lacetious phrase"
Well, we claim to be as badly dressed, in the
general, as Wellington, though we have gained
no Waterloo. Then come we TO Mr.. Thomp-
sens present. 1t is smoking cap, of the most
lovely description. He had it made especially
for us. 1t has gold tassel in front, and looks
as if it would be a beautiful ornament for the
noddle of very pretty girl. We have laid it
up in lavender, und we intend to preserve it as
a curiosity, and for the sake of its beauty
But MIR. Thompson must have very strange
notions of the way in which we do our smok-
ing! We do not smoke cigars; we go in for a
pipe. We send to Bob Zimmerman, and get
one of the best Of his Powhatan pipes, and he
always has large supply on hand. We then
send to our old friend, Mr.. James P. Tyler,
and get full supply Of the McCorkIe tobac-
co. Our next operation is to take off our coat,
and 60 ahead. We generally raise a conside.
rable fog before we are done. But as to a
smoking cap! Lord bless, US we never thought
of such thing!
However, we return our thanks to Mr..
Thompson, and assure him that we mean to
keep his present as memorial. BY the bye,
we advise all our young friends who have taste
for such things TO call and examine these caps.
They are beautiful, decidedly; not more So,
however, than many other things which Mr..
T. has just brought from the North. Our
friends ought, by all means, to call and see
them. ..-

New YoRx, March 10Th.
The following extract from a private letter ad.
dressed BY Mr.. Clay to one Of his friends in
this city, concerning his preferences for the
presidency, is published with his permission -
I" You rightly understand me in expressing a
preference for Mr. Fillmore as the whig candi'
date for the presidency. This did before

intercourse, since my arrival al Washington.
care not how generally the fact may be
known, but should no. deem 1t righ. to publish
any formal avowal Of my preference over my
own signature in the newspapers. Such a
course would subject me to the imputation OF
supposing that my opinions possessed more
weight with the public than appreheud they do.
The foundation Of my preference is that Mr..
Fillmore has administered the government with
signal success and ability. He has been tried
and found true, faithful, honest aud conscien.
uous. wish TO say nothing in derogation ol
bis eminent competitors. They have both rem.
dered great services to their counIry-Ihe one
in the field, and The other in the cabinet. They
might possibly administer the government, as
we'll as Mr.. Fillmore has done, bul then neither
Of them have been tried. He has been tried
in the elevated position he now holds, and
think that prudence and wisdom had better re-
strain us from making any change without ne
cessi,y for it, the existence Of which do no
preceive.

MR. CLAY. AND GENERAL CAss.-X.,
the Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, referring to the ru-
NOR that Mr.. Clay had endorsed Gen.
Cass for the Pr esidency, says in his
letter Of the II tn inst:
1t is not true, as has been tele-
graphed from this city to some
Northern papers, that Henry Clay
has written a letter, in which he eX-
presses his preference of Gen. Cass
over all other competitP prs for the
Presidency. Mr.. Clay has done no
such thinc-much less viii he make
a will and bequeath the Presidency
to ANYBODY who is not, bs the wings
would say, an heir at law. Mr.. Clay
has merely SAID; not written, that
among all the qemocrat'f candidates
for the Presidency, he would certain
ly give the preference to Gen. Cass;
but that he hop es and thinks a whig
will OF ought to be elect ed. Beyond
this Mr.. Clay did not express him-
self; but if it be taken for granted
that no whig ca n, by chs dnce, be eject
ed. In the Gill Of this ydar, then GER
tainly it follow that Mr.. Clay is ii
favor of Gen. Cas$, and that may be
the drift, after all. To use the iror
Latin logic Of Kossut tn, Mr.. Clay
may accept th nomination of Gen
Cass as an hi storical position; from
which his election Gen Cass s. woul'
follow, as an Unavoidable consequence

BENEFITS OF TOBACCO SMOKE.
Mr.. Robert Ellis, surgeon, the
principal editor Of the official cata-
Iogue of the London Exhibition,
has the following remarks, (yol. |,
page l30, which must gladden. the
hearts Of our smoke raising bretl1-
ren;
''The total quantity of tobacco
raised for home consumption in
1913, amounted to nearly l7,OO0,-
900 lbs. North America alone
produces annually upwards Of 50,-
100000 lbs. The combustion Of
this mass of vegetable material
would yield about 340,0O0,OOO lbs,
Of carbonic acid gas from tobacco
smoke alone cannot be less than
i,0O0,000,000 lbs, a large contribu-
ton TO The annual demand for this
gas made upon the atmosphere for
the vegetation Of the world. Hence
forth let no one twit the smoker

1t will be remem bered by many Of
our city readers (s4ys the Memphis
Appeal,) that co mplimentary en-
tertainment was given to Senator
JONES, at the Commercial Hotel, by
the citizens of all parties. 1t was a
kind and proper lea Fe taking between
friends and neighBors, whose inter.
course had been pleasant and cordial.
We observes howev er, that the feel
ing Of personal regard manifested
towards Senator j. is not entertained
by all his political friends. After
copying a very graceful pard graph
from our cotemporafy of the Enqui-
rer relative to thex speech d f the
Honorable gentleman on the oc easion,
the Knoxville Wing (BrownloF VS. pa
per- says:
"This is clear admission that the
speech was future. And when he
takes his seat in the Senate, he Will
fail again, or rather, he will reach his
proper level, which is that of a pery
