John MITCHELL.

In an article over his own signature, headed
"John Mitchell, the Irish poltroon," the editor OF
the Knoxville Register uses the following Ian.
guage: ll 9,% Dug
''And now, John Mitchell having assaulted me
in the cowardy manner above stated; having
narrowly escaped streetdrubbing by the inter.
vention of municipal officers; having been after
wards confronted by me, and notified that was
armed; having been denounced by me in the
presence and within the hearing of hundred or
more persons, In all the terms oe denunciatior
could devise; having basely submitted to all, and
skulked away amid the jeers and Kisses and shouts
of the bystanders, / hesitate not to repeat nv
denunciation, and brand him as miserable scoun-

offence was one copied into the American some

GREAT THINGS FROM Little

1t il curious to note what insignificant circum.
stances are sometimes made by an overriding
Providence the means to bring out the most
important events. If we could unvei the private
history Of the lives Of the parents of Napoleon
Bonaparte, we should most likely find that their
union was brought about, or was near being pre-
vented, by some very slight circumstance, and
that upon the happening or the not happening of
some trivial thing they were united and Napoleon
was born. And how much of the worlds history
has been shaped by him and depended upon his
existence u What a train OF important events was
started when he appeared upon the active stage
of life Wars have been caused which have cost
the lives of hundreds Of thousands of human
beings governments overthrow; monarchs de-
throned and entbroned, and treaties effected, by
causes the most insignificant imaginable, and
sometimes even ridiculous; as, for instance.
the little jcaouses rvalries piques, or petulancies
of women. The victorious career of the great
Marlborough, 10 n known, was brought 10 close!
the war between England and France put an end
to, and the peace Of Utrecht brought about, BY
one Of those little things in which tho temper Of

Richard Third |, az 4 FaYce .

Twaits, comic actor, formerly of the Park
Theatre, of New York, whose physiogomy was such
as to set the audience in q roar Whenever he ap-
peared took it into his head that he could perform
the part Of Richard Third, Hamlet, Othello, &C.,
and insisted upon trying. The manager remots-
trated, assuring him that tragedy was not in his
line. But Twaits was not to be convinced try
he would, or he would leave the stage. Unwilling
to Use SO good an actor, the manager finally con-
sented that he might, take the part of Richard
Third, and the play was accordingly announced
for a particular night Twaits as Richard. Is !,
" The night arrived, and the theatre was cram,
med from pit to ceiling; not an inch Of space un.
occupied. The audience were in q feverish state
of anxiety to see Twaits as Richard. tia g
At length he appeared, and at once the house
broke out into uncomfortable laughter. Twaits,
piqued at this unexpected effect of his acting,
looked grave and severe, as if he would rebuke
the untinely merriment but the more he at.
tempted to look the character, the louder, was the
laughter; until, finally, finding it impossible ia
carry on the play as tragedy, he gave way to
the humor of the audience, and went through il
as farce. And such "a farce! The like was
never before seen on these boards, and has never
been since
A repetition of Twait's farce of Richard Third
This was loudly called for but the manager refused
saying he would not thus desecrate the great

SENSE AND PRETENsE.

While Lord Napier, the English minister, was
busy at Washington, his Lady sojourned at the Gil
more House, Baltimore. The fashionable circles
were agitatcd by the presence OF the wife of live
lord, and her adyship received numerous calls and
party invitations. The American ladies' of fash.
ion, deliberately and gaudily attifed in aounces
and jewels, were surprised to find the English lady
in excessive plain dress, totally free from all dis
play OF glitter and nonsense. Not single ewe
was visible ON her person. The wife of Lord Ma
pier, however, Is woman Of high birth, who can
trace her descent from long line Of iustrous an.
cestors. She is nevertheless remarkable though
born and educated in the heart of European re-
finement and civilization, for the plainness Of her
apparel, the simplicity of her manners and the en-
tire lack Of ostentatious pretension. England has
never sent better pair of representatives to this
country than Lord Napier and his lady lie teaches
American men that there is strong good will
felt for us on the other side of the water aud ex-
presses a manly desire to appreciate our institu.
tons. She teaches American women that the adj.
yentitious aid ofmiliners can never confer nobil-
ity, or rather that there is but one arstocracy
which is the aristocracy of a cultivated mind and
asimple and sincere heart. She administers severe
rebuke to the upstart, peacock vanity which dis
tinguisbes 50 many Of our people.
We End the above excellent rebuke of American
women on its travels, and most choerfuy lend it a
helping hand.
When will our pretentious women learn that ex-
travsgauce absence of plsinness in dress, are
the sure sign Of ignorance, vulgarity and soberyS

THE GREAT FORT SMELLING
aza sp.% ft9 M yssSTEELE.o ta @s

Our contemporary, the Republic, thus remarks
upon this stupendous swindle: .a. 5
" 1t is not denied that the Secretary of War
disposed of the Fort Smelling reservation, at pri-
cate sale at price which is mere fraction Of it's
real value, and at a loss to the people Of the
United States of an enormous sum, probably not
less than one million Of dollars Of this extraor-
binary procedure, no defence is offered except the
single one, that by reason Of combination at auc-
ton sales in the Western States, 1t has never been
possible to obtain fair price there for public
property at auction. IN ssi as
! " Is it possible that the Government Of this
country is reduced to such condition of imbe-
cility that it cannot protect the treasury from the
robbery of speculatorss II an auction did not
promise any good results, could not the Secretary
of War have exposed the property to the compe-
tition of sealed bids, as his colleague the Score
tary of the Interior has just done in reference to
the Choctaw Trust lands in Mississippi? Why did
not this expedient suggest itself TO Mr.. Floyd ?
