THE New CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF THE MEX
1cAN WAR--The extraordinary address of General
Gideon "Ieondas" Pillow to the people of Ten
nessee, touching the diplomacy of the Mexican war,
and censuring the course of General Scott and Mr..
Trist in the alleged bribery of Santa Anna to an
misce and treaty of peace, after producing scath.
ing rejoinder from Gen. Hitchcock, now brings out
Gen. Scott himself with card in the National Intel
lgencer, which commences with the following omin-
Gus sentence:
Nv attention has been called to letter addressed
to tile people of Tennessee by Gen. Pillow in which
he criticises my campaign in Mexico with the bold
ness of master in the art of war, and at the same
time eulosizes his services therein with hearty
goodwill that leaves nothing to be added.
Notwithstanding the significant tone of this para
graph, it is the only bitterness dscoverabe in the
Generals reply with the exception of an illdisguiset
and wedeserved contempt throughout for his ac
cuser. He notices two Or three points in Pillows
address, and defends Mr.. Trst against its assaults
but seems to think hardly worth his while to ente
into the matter as concerns himself.
Pillow has again dug his ditch on the wrong side o
the intrenchment, and is now floundering up to hi
neck in the mud and mire at the bottom of it.

CH1NN's BSuLPH1TE OF LIME.-The bi-sulphite
of lime mandatory Of Mr.. R. H. Ghnn is in opera
ton now on more extensive scale than ever. Within
the past year, the works. out on Canal street, have
been much extended the buildings and necessary
grounds taking up whole square; the best men
procurabe for the purpose, superintend the works ;
the. manufacture progresses night and day; and Mr.
Chinn expects that he will be able to furnish about
as much bi-sulphte as any other manufacturer here
He has much experience in its manufacture, having
been connected with Mr. Jarvis in that business so
long ago as 1s49, and having since produced an
article which has gained him the steady patronage of
numbers of the best merchants and planters in the
State. The present works have not only been largely
extended but all that machinery and chemical science
can contribute have been brought to bear; SO that
the b sulphite now turned out is perfect as that
article can be, or as planters can desire. We would
advise our mercantile and planting friends who know
what good bi-sulphite is, to go and inspect that of
Mr.. Chinn's production Mr.. C.'s card in adver.
tising columns, will be found worthy of perusal.

ON SIGHT AND ON DEMAND.

Judge c., a we'll known, highly
respected Knickerbocker, on the shady
side of fifty, widower with FIVE children
full of fun and frolic, ever ready for a
joke-to give or take-was bantered the
other evening by Miss Of tive-and-twen-
ty, for not taking another wife she urg-
ed that he was hale and hearty, and de-
served matrimonial messmate. The
Judge acknowledged the fact; admitted
that he was convinced by the eloquence
of his friend that he had been thus far
very remiss, and expressed contrition for
the fault confessed; ending with offering
himself to the lady, telling her she could
not certainly reject him after pointing out
to him his heinous offence.
The lady replied that she would be
most happy to take the situation so uni
quely advertised, and become bone of his
bone and flesh of his flesh; but there was
one, to her, serious obstacle.
"Well" says the Judge, "Name it.
My profession is to surmount such impedi-
ments."
"Ah Judge. this is beyond your pow
ers. l have vowed if I ever marry a
widower; he MUST have ten children"
'Ten children Oh that's nothing"
says the Judge, "1'll give you five now,
and my notes on demand in instalments
for the balance" Fact true as gospel!
Yours in spirit,
WELcHE STuR.

WAY TO GET A SEAr.-A few weeks
ago an old gentlemen and his lady were
coming down from Iowa City to Davsn-
port, when the cars were crowded. A
young man got up and gave the old lady
a seat, white his companion. another
young gent, remained steadfast, and let
the old gentleman stand. This did not
suit our old friend, SO he concluded to get
a seat in some way, and, quick as thought,
turned to the young man on the seat beside
his wife, and said, "Will you be SO kind
as to watch that woman while get seat
in the other car? She takes fits.'' This
started the young gent. He could not bear
the idea of taking charge of IA 6tty woman;
so the old gentleman got seat, and his
wife never was known to take q fit after
wards.-Davsnport Dem.

AFFECTING AND USrixELY DEATH

| AFFECTING AND USTtxELY DEATH
The sorrows of earthly existence are will
US like the seasons, their number as the
leaves of the forest. No sun rises or sets
without proving to all that in the midst Of
life we are in death. Warning hath nc
force, health no safeguard against the in.
evitabls fiat. We are led to these refec-
tions by hearing the touching story of the
sudden death of Miss Augusta Shaw,
near the town of Alexandria, Campbell
County. KY, on Monday last. Itappears
that Miss S., few months since, impru-
IDENTIFY exposed herself in light clothing
at school exhibition at Alexandria, and
consequently took severe cold. From
the effects of this it was thought she had
recovered, at least she was not consider
ed seriously i'll. not being confined to her
room. But. without previous warning,
he illness on Monday appears to have ta
ken a fatal change. She was walking
about the house on that day, as usual,
when she said suddenly to her mother:
Il shall die tonight p Her mother at
tempted to quiet her-told her she was
excited, but not worse-to no effect how
ever. Augusta proceeded to collect TO-
gether her trinkets, books, &c., aud ap-
portion them among her friends, giving
to those present tokens of her remem-
brance, and requesting the distribution of
her ! other gifts to those absent. She then
bid her family solemn farewall, and ex-
pressed deep distress that her father, who
was attending Court in this city, WAS not
present to say good bye. She then, as if
affection filed her being, as Heaven claim
ed her soul, expressed most loving mes
sage to her father, and laid down on her
bed, and in very few minutes breathed
her life away! Her father was on the
witness stand in the Court when the attic
ting intelligence of her state came to him.
He was Immediately excused, and has
tened home, but too late to hear the voice
that blessed him ere it ceased forever -
Miss Shaw was beautiful young lady of
sixteen, intelligent and accomplished.-|
May her pure spirit be enabled to assuage
the sorrows of her friends.-[ Gin. Com.
