GENERAL WALKER.- The New Orleans Pioa-
yuno speaks in the following terms of the oharac-
ter of Gen. Walker:
This city was the residence Of Con. Walker for
several years before he omigraied to California
and from an intimate acquaintance with him we
are able TO LAY that his record here, too, was
without spot or blemsh. Nothing can be said,
with the shadow Of truth, against his pursuits or
manner of life. He had vices or irreg ularity Of
habits His tastes all refined, his oecupa
tons intellectual. He was temperate, studious
medltaive: of high intellectual culture and varied
accomplishments; n good classical scholar--he
had studied medicine aud aw,and cultivated bel.
les lettres and was remarkable proficient in mus
io, OF which he was very fond. Slow and DELHI
crate IN speech from his custom ofpondering web
over the manner and matter of what he should say,
he was a terse and forcbe rather than an elegant
speaker; but with the pen he was powerful. writ
ing with great facility and yigor He was early
embued with the most radical opinions, and held
10 them with uniiinchng ,enaciiy and utter for
getfulness of any considerations of self interest.
One OF his prominent characteristics is an utter
absence of selfshness, unless the ambition to be
distinguished in cause which he may have es-
poused, because he believes it honest, be classed
as selfish. Of the faint of anything sordid he is
utterly free even of supicion. With these quail
ties aud qualifications. he is of the stuff Of which
the regenerators of nations are made-the men of
lndomitable will and austere virtues. who control
| great events, and whom men are willing to follow
| trustingly.

CArchiNG THE lnEA.-A parson in a country
village in England, on reading the first line or So
OF Chapter in the Bible, the clerk. who was not
over erudite, Ivy some mistake or other, read it
after him. The parson read as follows: Moses
was an austere man, and made atonement for
the SINS OF his people," The clerk, who could
not exactly catch the sentence, reported it thus:
Moses was an oysterman, and made ointment
for tue shins of his people"

Quoting British authorities,

British authorities in our courts are considered
standard authorities for reference on doubtful
points Of law. Tho late Judge Daniel. of Virgin.
ia, used to tell with great gee, how. when
young man on the circuit, he saved clients life,
solely because tie opposite counsel quoted from
British authorities. 1t occurred during the last
war, when the English squadron. under Admiral
Cockburn. was ascending tho Potomac river
burning and plundering the villages along its
banks, and negro man was arraigned for the
murder of one of his own color; the offence was
clearly provedand the only chance for his escape
was slight informaliy IN tho indictment. The
prosecuting nitorney,in reply to MIR. Daniels de
fence OF his client, quoted from British authori
ties, showing clearly that the ground taken by the
Inter was unlenablp. While he was quoting and
speaking, at intervals, bang! bnng bang went
the cannon from the British squadron. Daniel
rose TO answer and with great tact seized hold If
the strong point of his opponents cause, turning
il completely against him.
"Gentemep, said he 10 the bench .'the prose
cutting attorney quotes on this occasion British
authorities British authorities, gentlemen -
Cnn there be any one in this court room, except
himself, 50 dead To feelings Of patriotism. as at

UPjumped one of the justices, highly excited
at appeal, aud thus addressed the prosecuting
attorney; "Look here. Mr.. A, you had
better strike n Il line from this count house with
your British authorities, or III commit youl Pris
oner, you can gol Crer. adjourn the court, Brit

The prosecuting attorney was struck all in
heap Mt these ertra judicial procee dngs, and re
signed his office the very next day.
