For the Register.

Mr.. CooPER-Sn.-Ferm me to saw
to you. and through your paper to the
public, that 1 have seen letter from our
friend and representative. Colonel Cyrus
Vance, the spirit of which indicates to
me at least that the Colonelis at work and
is received in that body as a working
man. Now, sir. would it not be much
better for us here in the west to send such
men as Colonel Vance, who have the in
terest of the public good at heart, and
who know and labor for their good .
The Colonel says that he thinks he will
be at home by the first of April. If SO,
it will be fifteen days sooner than had
been expected for that body to adjourn;
but the Colonel says we have had no long
speeches or unnecessary excitement, and
from that fact concludes, and very pro-
perly, too, that the session will be short
ened.
Yours, &C.,

counterfeiters. who have for sometime past
infested this region-making Warrington

were found against some twelve or fifteen

of the sheriff for their arrest; but they in
some manner got wind of what was going
on, and sloped before that officer could
overhaul them. We refrain from giving

ANOTHER Coop DlG.-A good story is
old of recent interview between Col.
Benton and President Pierce. The Colo
mel expressed himself heartily gratifed at
the result of the election, very DESTROYS to
support the new Administration !; but he
told the President that he had one man in
his Cabinet who would make him ridicu-
lous-a perfect nondescript, Sir" said
he-a't perfect nondescript-neither one
thing nor the other" The General in
quired what gentlemen of his Cabinet had
been so unfortunate as thus to incur his
displeasure. The Colonel named Mr..
Gushing, and launched out into repeti-
ton of his epithets which have not given
exactly in his words, but as nearly so as
would be strictly proper closing by
saying that he was the only man on earth
who seemed to have been created for the
express purpose of being Tyler man.
The President heard his formidable objur-
CATION to the end, and quietly remarked
to the Col. that he been delighted, on
reaching Washington, to find so many
gentlemen. who were quite Indifferent as
to his election exceedingly solicitous
concerning the welfare of his Admins
tration.

The general principles upon which ap-

Hon. James G. Dobbin the Secretary
of the Navy, was born in Fayetteville,
North Carolina, in the year 1914, and is
therefore thirty nine years of age, being
the youngest member of the cabinet. His
father was for many years an eminently
successful merchant of that place, and his
mother was the daughter of Hon. James
Cochrane. distinguished and orthodox
Democratic member of Congress during
the war of 19l3-'15. Mr. Dobbin gra-
duated at the University of North Caro-
lima in 1882, and entered Immediately
upon the study of the law in the office Of
the distinguished statesman, Hon. Robert
Strange. Upon his admission to the bar
he entered upon lucrative and extensive
practice, declining all political preferment
until 1915, whom he was unanimously no.
minated for member of Congress by the
Democratic convention for his district,
and was elected by a majority of over
1000 votes. In the succeeding Con-
gress. the 29th, he proved himself an
able and Jealous supporter of Mr.. Polk's
administration His speeches upon the
Oregon question, the Florida contested
election, and the policy of the administra-
tIOHI are euuuTInS monuments OF his learn
ing, ability, vigor. and statesman like ac-
quirements. At the close of his term he
peremptorily declined a re reelection, pre-
ferring to return to the practice of his pro.
fesslon. His business was large, and his
professional pursuits were far more con-
genial to his tastes and wishes than poll.
teal life. On his return to his profession,
he was eminently successful-old clients
returned to him, and brought new ones
with them, and he achieved solid and
enduring reputation on theatre where
men of weak intellects never succeed
But he was not allowed to remain in pri-
yate life when the interests of his native
State required his services elsewhere

Webster Abroad.

go WEBSTER Abroad
In the California papers there is state
ment that the news of the death of Daniel
Webster was received in Honolulu, Sand
wich, Inslands,) ON the 18th OF December.
1t filed his many friends and admirers there
with profound regret, and Immediately
called forth notice from E: Il. Allen, the
American consul, informing the American
shipmasters in port of the melancholy fact,
and requesting them to set their flags at
half-mast, as an expression of respect to
his memory.
There were nearly seventy ships in the
harbor of Honolulu at the time, on all
which the American ensign was half-mast.
On shore, also, the same proud flag was hung
in mourning, and suspended from various
public places.
What tribute is this to American
greatness? In late English paper We
noticed an account of the manner in which
the notice of the death Of Wellington, was
received in India. The troops were must
cred, the pennons lowered, signal guns fired
amid the pomp, and show, and Dlazonry of
royalty But how different was that Anne
rican flag hosting in the peaceful waters
the distant sea 1t was all the difference
between the intrinsic greatness of the states
man, and the meretricious glare of the mill
tary hero.
