ANOTHER REY oLurIosARY SOLDIER GONE.

ANOTHER REyoLuTIosARY SOLDIER GONE.
Departed this life at his residence in Hamil
ton county, Tenn, on the LIST day of February,
1853, Thomas PALMER, in the ninety-third year
of his age.
Mr.. Palmer was born in Loudon county
Virginia, in f76O.. He enlisted in the Vir-
GINA line of the Continental Army in l777,
and was with Gen. Wayne at the memorable
storming Of StsHy Point. He was also at the
battle Of Brandywine, and camped with the
suffering army at Valley Forge, and was in
the battle OF Germantown, and afterwards
through all the soulstirring scenes of the
Virginia line; during this. the most eventful
period of the war under Lafayette, who, by
his mastery skill and commensurate maneu-
wiring, and by his frequent and daring skir-
mishes, Kept the enemy employed and in
check, until Washington could concentrate
his force for the main attack at York Town;
here also Mr.. Palmer took part; and was pres
ent ut the surrender of the British General
and army which virtually closed the war;
He was superior riieman, and always acted
in that capacity. Having an excellent consti-
tuition and possessing uncommon muscular
power. young bold, and ardent, perhaps no
soldier of the Revolution rendered to his
country more efficient service, in his humble
sphere, than he did. Nor did it cease with
the war. He continued his usefulness and
exercised his courage and proves, as one of
the first pioneers Of the territory of Tonnes
see-having emigrated to Greene county in
1885, thence to Cooke county, where he raised
large family and remained until 1886, when
he removed to Hamilton county, then occu-
pied by the Cherokees. So his long life hiss
been one of uncommon vicissitudes and use

ROME IN 1854 private letter from n
well.informed American to the Editor Of The
Tribune, dated Rome, January IS, gives the
following sombre picture of the present con-
dition of the Eternal City:

The Ladies BuH and Ladies .Ioaathan.-
The London Punch does the recent "ffart
up" between the women" of Stafford
House and their "dear sisters" in America
growing out of the Uncle Tom or slavery
agitation in real humorous style. In the last
number he puts into the mouth of the Ouch
ess of Sutherland poetic remonstrance, o.
which this verse is a medium sample:
.. BY THE LADIES BULL.
Sisters, daughters, wives, and mothers,
All! onr feelings how 1t racks,
That your sons, sires. husbands, brothers,
Should so badly use their blacks!
Oh! VIC speak with hearts sincerest
All with love and pity rent;
But why don't you, Sisters dearest .-.
Make your relatives repent! -
Then comes a transatlantic rejoiDder
BY THE LADIES JONATHAN.
You have slaves far worse than niggers,
That in ignorance are sunk,
Who no letter know, nor figures,
Vicious, destitute, and drunk;
Have them taught TO read their bibles,
And repeat their a BIC,
Better this than writing libels
On the Nation of the Free.

MExIoo-The revolution in Mexico, ir-
regularly pending for some months, is at
length completely consumated, and the Mex.
lean Congress has been turned out of doors by
the bayonets of CevallOs, President Arista's
government has been utterly overthrOwn, and
Santa Anna has again been invited to return
to Mexico. The New York Times re-
marks
"The hapless hero Of San Jacinto is al.
ways invoked in extremity. To be sure he
has approved himself week compound of
weak qualities; vanity, viciousness, cOwardice,
selfshness. The office of President was
nothing more to him than post supplying
golden opportunities for the accretion of that
wealth, the means of self-ndulgence, and of
that classic recreation, craftsmanship or
cock-fghting. He has been great on small
occasions, and pigmy on great ones. But
he is man after the Mexican heart; a fair
type of his race, batting the absence of one
leg and the presence of more cheerful and
bouyant spirit of rascality."
