In Illinois, the Nebraska opposition runs 50 strong
that the people of Chcago-his home-refused to
hear Senator Douglas speak in his own Defence

of public demonstration, was done to give "a fitting
honor to such distinguished arrival, The Gener-

withstanding that the President and Secretary of
War have sent him from San Francisco to rusticate
at Benicia The last time we saw Cen Wool, ere
we met him on Tuesday, was at Buena Vista, when
Jefferson Davis now Secretary of War, was neither

war; or rather of politics, has lifted up the whlom
subaltern above his former superior, and now he
delights in making him feel his power. .--MarysriAe
