Anotncr Appointment.

We have received letter from Brig. Gen.
Greathouse, in which he informs us he has
appointed Harrison F. Kiger, Esq. Of Prince
ton, Colonel of the 9Th Regiment Of Indiana
Militia. This is the first Wing the General
has yet appointed, and We are glad to see him
even thus far disposed to be gracious to his
Wing friends. Our Democratic friends a.
Princeton are no doubt little rampacious at
this appointment, as there were number OF
as pirants for the office, but they might as well
keep cool. The gallant Colonel will drill
'em ju as we'll az if they were all amiable
Wings. and they might just as well be get
ting their "eyes right" and learning how to
"toe the mark"
The history Of our gallant Colonel is SO
mixed up, we shall he obliged to omit it. He
has fought many battles. more probably than
he has gained victories. Even now he bears
scars made by the natural weapons of his en-
emies. Blu. they are all in front. If he
has any in the rear, history has not recorded
them, and they are concealed by black cassi-
meres. His courage is more remarkable
than his caution, and we do much fear that in
the first muster he will rashly charge upon
neighboring water melon patches, and sacri-
fee himself or his breeches to the rapacty Of
some bulldog. He will undoubtedly prove
the Harry Hotspur of the Indiana militia.

THE New YORK posr on THE FOREIGN Ar

The New YORK POsr ON THE FOREIGN Ar
foISTmENrs.-The Evening Post, at New
York. thus opens an article on the subject OF
the recent appointments to foreign stations.
Considering that the Post is an able Demo.
cratic journal. its remarks are excruciating.
" fiattering 20 the appointees:
We are grateful to the President that in
making his selections of the diplomatic rep
resen'ative., he has weakened the home
force OF The Democratic party of the country
in the least possible degree. He could hard.
ly have chosen an equal number of promi.
nent men whose absence would be les, seri.
ously felt than those whose names we copied
Yesterday from the official bulletin. We
speak especially of those whose incubation
has been most prolonged.
Instead Of wondering at the time consum.
ed over these appointments, we marvel rath.
er that selection could have been made, in so
short time of so large number whose ban.
lsiiment the nation has so little reason to re.
greet, and who at the same time are PERSONAL
" so unexcepliOnable. There is not one
among them, unless it be some of those
whose names We never heard of, who will
ever permit himself to be picked up drunk in
the public streets while abroad: and that ia
saying more than could be said of all our
foreign representatives for MANY years
There are not many, We believe there arc
none, of the newly appointed ministers who
can speak any of the languages in use at the
courts to which they are accredited; and the
same remark may be made of the charges.
with The single Pxcanf;--e ra.. DonlSnt
but as it has long been customary for the
Government to employ men of lone tongue
in the diplomatic service, we are bound ia
presume that the usage is founded upon some
principle oil public policy. II most of them
talk abroad as they do at home, the fewer Ian
guages they have at their command the bet
ter.
We have long felt that this country ha'
little occasion for any permanent diplomatic
force abroad; but as there must be SOM
mode of satisfying politicians who only serv
their party for pay, the best thing that ca
be done with them is to send them where the
will be out of the way, and where they ma
learn something though they earn nothing
For this reason, perhaps, the formalities Q
diplomacy may as well be continued, especl
ally if. as in the present case, the loss to tn
country is almost exclusively a pecuniar
one

PafrieksS Colt.

Agentleman wha favors US with some remi.
niscences respecting the early settlements Of
this place, relates the following anecdote:-
"When my grandfather resided at Goffstown
and Deoryfeld, then settled by the Irish, he
hired a wild sort of an Irishman to work on his
farm. One day, soon after his arrival, he told
him to take the bride and 90 out into the field
and catch the young black colt.
"Dont come home without him. said the
old gentleman.
"Nlvet a bit" said Patrick, and off he started.
He was gone some time, and at last returned
minus the bride, with his face and hands badly
scratched as though he had received rough
treatment.
"Nhy, Patrick, what is the matter-what ais
you"
san faith, isn't me, your honor, that'll never
catch the ould black coult again bad luck to
him! An didn't he all but scratch me eyes out
ONE head? An'faith, l had to climb up a tree
after him"
"Climb a tree after him! Nonsense! Where
is the beast? :"
San he's tied to the three,..to be sure, yer
honor"
We all followed Patrick to the spot, to get a
solution of the difficulty; and on reaching the
field, we found TO our no small amusement, that
he had been chasing a young black bear, which
he had succeeded in catching after a great deal
of rough usage on both sides, and actually tied
it with a bride to an old tree. Bruin was kept
for a long while, and was ever after known as
"Patrick's colt"
