UNEXPECTED ELEVAT4oN.-The yicissitudes
of human life are very strange. In 1880,
President Taylor then a Colonel in the army,
wrote a letter to Gen. Mcneil, who had just
been appointed Surveyor of Boston, from
which we make the following extract:
/ an fully aware that it is impossible for
US to pursue any profession-particularly
that OF arms-for fifteen or..twenty years with
out forming strong attachments to 1t IN va
rious ways, and of course, must abandon
them with considerable reluctance, but there
are circumstances which should reconcile us
to doing so, and to justify us, not only IN
our own eyes, but that of the community
Could / get a OWL appointment as respecta-
BILE, with half the emolument attached to
it as there is to the one you have received,
and where ] could be located so as to super
intend the education of my children, I would
resign forthwith for after serving twenty
two years and upwards in the army, all Of
which time on duty, with the exception of a
few months. without being stationed two
years together at any one post, during that
time, think that / need repose, but as I do
not possess influence enough to procure a
civil appoihtmentof any grade, / consider
my doom fixed.
Here is a plain, modest officer of the q. s..
army, who in 1880, expressed a sincere wish
that he couldgressarfrom his labors upon
some Office with the emolument that Gen.
Mcneil received, and declared that he did
not possess influence enough to procure a
civil appointment, and yet this same man
became a w~orld-renowned General, and Pres
ident ofthe United States, in less than TWEEN
ty years from that time.

WONDERFUL PREsERVATIoN.-A writer in
the Recorder, as an illustration of Providen-
tial care, relates the following marvellous in
cident, and vouches for it as authentic:
Elias Boudinot, founder of the American
Bible Society, was returning in his chaise to
his home late in adark night from a court he
had been attending many days. He did not
know that a recent freshet had carried away
all the planks Eoa4hal Long bridge that lay
in his accustomed path. Therefore he drove
right on, asthough there were a bridge there,
and reached home safely. His friends inqui-
red by what road became. The usual road
he replied. Impossible said they, there
are no planks on the bridge He persisted,
and they, trembling for his v~eracity or his
insanity, eagerly went with him next morning
early to survey, When arrived they found
the very tracks of the carriage at either end
of the bridge and on the sleepers, and the
very foot prints of his horse on a central
sleeper. There was no more to be said !;
sanity and veracity were both safe. Some
power had presided over the instinct of that
horse, had ordained the correspondence of
those wheels with the sleepers over which
passed, and kept the man in ignorance ofhis
danger. Wa that power fate or chance?

Hon. to get rid Of Worns-the simplest thing an
the World. @- You have only to purchase a
bottle of M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and ad-
minister it according to the directions accompany
ing each vial. 1t never fails to. give immediate re-
lief, and is perfectly safe for young or old. The
following testimony, in favor of M'Lane's Celebra-
ted Vermifuge, was handed us a short time ago.
NEW York, November IS, 1852.
A friend of mine purchased and administered
one bottle of MLane's Celebrated Vermifuge to q
child of hers, four years old, which brought away
between three hunared and four hundred worms
many of them large. The child is now well, and
living in Remington place. For further particulars
inquire of Mrs. Hardie, No. 3, Manhattan place.
P. S. The above valuable medicine, also DR.. NJ
Lanes celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at
all respectable Drug Stores in this city. "a Pur-
chasers will please be careful to ask for, and take
none but DIR. MLane's Vermifuge. All others,
in comparison, are worthless. IL

REMARKS OF MR. ODEu

On the amendment offered by him, asking State aid
to the Blountvile, Middleton, and Elizabethton.
Turnpike Company; offered to the bill introduced
by Mr.. TIBRs, asking aid to the Ocoee Turnpike
and Plank Road Company
Mr.. SPEAKER: offered that amendment in good
faith, as had right to do, acting here in the ca
pacity of representative of the people, and this
House has right to adopt the amendment or vote
1t down, as they may think proper. | need not
Mr. Speaker, make lengthy speech upon this occa-
sion, to show how badly the people in the section
OF country where this road proposes to run, need
the aid asked for IN the amendment now under con-
sideratlon. The gen leman from Bradley (Mr Tibbs)
goes on and gives you the history of his isolated
portion of the country, and comments ON the lap
Ply future when those rich copper mines will be
opened to the markets Of the world. In this case
sir, l can say to the members Of this body, that
there is vast quantity Of iron ore lying in beds
in the mountainous country which have the hon
or to represent. Then appeal to the members of
this House to give those people the aid asked for in
that amendment and the people living in that sec
ton OF the country will hand their names down to
the future generations, and say, "well done, thou
good and faithful servants" This road, Mr. Speak
er, will tap the East Tennessee and Virginia Rail-
road at Mddletown, one of the most desirable
places In East Tennessee, and at some day, not far
distant will be one of the most beautiful cities in
the State. Then, sir, it intersects with the Tay-
louisville and the North Carohda turnpike road
which is now in course of construction to the Ten
nessee line. And l will say to the friends of the
original measure to adopt my amendment, and I
will give it my hearty support, Without this L |
will against the measure, and all others of SIM
liar character.
This road, Mr. Speaker passes through Carter
county, and if | mistake not the gentleman's con-
sttuents from that county feel deep and abiding |
interest in the proposition now under consideration
1t will give them an opportunity of bringing vast
amount of iron out and throw it in the rich mar
kets of the Mississippi Valley.

Bradley; therefore caupon the members here as
sembled to adopt it.

BATTLE OF SNOPE-The London correspondent
of the Washington Union thus writes in relation to
the battle of Sinope:
The great naval victory" gained by the Russians,
on which expressed my suspicious in my last let
ter, is confessed by the Russians themselves to
have been neither 50 great nor so decisive as was
at first trumpeted forth to the world Authentic
sdvices from Bucharest ofthe 10Th inst state that
the Russian fleet consisted Of four 100 and four ST.
gun-shlps, and also that only three Turkish "ves-
sells were sunk and the remainder burnt "as it
was impossible to secure the prizes The Rus
sian ships were greatly damaged and required many
repairs to enable them to reach SebastopoL" Ad-
vices certainly not less authentic" from Constan-
tmople reduce the great victory to still smaller pro
portions. According to one version the only YES
sells at Sinope were old, condemned hulks of no
value; according to another version. with the ex-
ception of one ship which the Russians attempted
to bring away but were obliged to abandon, merely
transports emptled of their troops and stores-de-
stined for Trebzond-at the approach oftheenemv

duced by this report to the rank Of a simple cap
