There is Il general impression abroad that Mr..
We think the impression is wcll-groundcd. The
conduct Of his Excellcncy indicates his desire
quite distinctly. The ultra position he assumes
on some questions hishcstancy upon others, are
not without their purpose.
His annual Message, was thrust upon an unor-
gauized Congress, at the particular time he Sc
lected, as sort of guide to certain Convention
then soon to be held. In that he said little
about the troubles in Kansas, not because he
had no information on the subject but because
il was incxpcdent at the time. His late Kansas
Message, to suit another latitude, is conform ed
exactly 10 the views OF those who he is aware,
will determine who shall he the Loro-toco nom
nee, o. course the President keeps up the old
game Of carrying water on both shoulders" In
the North he thinks little hambHq, and the eff
hcient aid Of his army of oticeholdcrs, will ena-
bic him 10 swamp all opposition. In the South
be- relies upon his subscryioncy to its sectional
purposes. We shall see how he succeeds. Ii is
OF little consequence to us to he sure whom the
loco,iocos may nominate. That will make no
gr1t difference, in the Locotoco roic. But we
shall be surprised ii MIR. Pierce is again selecJc d.

A Brave Woman the o,sc, Finn.

n German lady, belonging to u house long
distinguished for deeds of noble daring, and
which had once given an emperor to Germany
added yet to the luStre of her line by having
once nearly caused an emotion akin 10 trembling
in the heart OF the much dreaded and cruel
Duke of Ava. In TIE year of l547, after the
battle OF Muhlberg, as the Emperor Charles V
was passing through Thuringen, on his march
10 Franeonia and Suabia. the widowed Countess
OF Sehwarzburg, born Princess of Hcnneberg,
obtained from him u written promise that her
sholee,s should nos suffer any injury from the
Spanish army. which was passing through her
dominions, She promised. on her part, 10 pro-
vide bread, peas, and provisions at a very small
remuneration, in RudolStadt. for the Spauish
troops that were 10 cross there. In the mean.
time she adopted the precautionary measure of
having the bridge, which was near Rudolstait,
broken down, and another erected at some dis
lance from the sity, thar It's vicinity might not
excite the rapacious inclinations of her rude
guests,
Permission was also given TO all the inhabit-
ants oil the places which lay on the line of march
TO send their most valuable property TO be in
safe keeping OF the castle OF RadolStadt And
now the Spanish general was approaching. ae-
conpaniea by Henry, Duke of Brunswick and
his sons and sent messenger in advance to ask
permission from the Countess of Sehwarzhur, 10
be her guest at breakfast on the following morn
ing. 50 modest a request, coming from the
leader OF powerful army could not well be re
fused An answer Was returned that the hes,
the house afforded should be at his excellencv's
disposal, II he would be content TO put up with
saeh poes fare II was not, meanwhile, forgot.
