Sharp Shooting in the Senate.

Messrs. Douglas and Trumbull, of 1lli-

being to settle the question, which is the bet

he aroused "old Crit" as will be seen by
the following extract
Douglas said SO far as advised, he believ-
ed his colleague was candidate Of a miser-
able sect of Abolitionists and Know Moth

ton of that kind as intended to embrace me
and my political associates.
Douglas explaining spoke of what

might be otherwise in the South.
Critenden--The gentleman did not make
the qualification lie now does.
Douglas-Every gentleman must have
understood me as making distinction.
said nothing about the Southern Know
Nothings.
Trumbull--I shall not permit such re-
marks as those frcm my colleague to pass

are absolutely and totally unfounded. If he

SIR: | am referred to in many places ~
the adopted son of Gen. Jackson. Permit
me to ask that you will give this note an in
sertion in your columns, in order that the
mistake may be corrected. The adopted
son of Gen. Jackson bears his own name,
and is now living at the Hermitage. The
General was my uncle, and my guardian
and friend from my infancy 10 his death.
The mistake has doubtless originated from
the fact, that the General was In the habit
of addressing me as his son, and that l was
so long and so intimately associated with
him. | was his aid-de- camp from the time
entered the army until he left it, and his
Private Secretary throughout his Presiden-

EARTHLY BLIss.-The pleasures of this
world are so trunsitory and fleeting that ii
seems crime for man 10 pass his days in
frivolous pursuits, or to stake, as many do
their whole mind upon what before to-mor-
rows sun shall go down will become mist
and vapor. The uncertainty of life, that
dark veil which cuts the future from the
piercing eyes Of man, the ignorance of what
he might bring forth, have salutary effect
upon the thoughtful, and warn them from Q
too great love ofthe world, its pleasures OF
of themselves. Though there be few who
live to the age ofihree score and ten, health
and youth are not to be relyed on, for the
nipping frost often destroys in an hour the
fairest flower, and the lightning from hea-
ven often rends the sturdy oak. If we place
our hearts upon the riches of the world, they
fade away before our sight, and the hard
earning of years, in a day have been swept
away.
