"a MEETING AND AN INCIDENT
Roblcs, (the Mexican Minister Gen. Jas.
Shields and several other distinguished gem
tlemen, were lately around a dinner table
IN Washington city. The wine having
flowed pretty freely, Gen Shields was cali
cdup, and gave in glowing colors the Incl
dents Immediately connected with his being
wounded with grape shot in the Mexican
war He closed by saying that he could
never forget the appearance of the officer
who gave the command to fire. He was
the last object he saw before falling, and
he should recognize him if he should ever
see hun again. Senior Robles, who had
listened with interest at the recital, SLOWLY
rose from his chair, and asked him if lie re-
cognizcd in him that officer; "for," said
he, - gave the command to fire." The
effect ofthis announcement CAT be better
imagined than described Since then the
gallant hero of Chcpultcpoc and General
Roblcs have been particular friends.
TRIUMPns OF Know NoruINa1sM.-
The Know Nothings (says the Raleigh
Stpndard) have one member of tho House
of Representatives from the three sovereign
States of Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina. Just think of it one
member from three States and that mem.
ber is Mr.. Gilmer, OF the GuilEord district,
who was recently defeated for Governor by
only thirteen thousand majority.
The trumphs of Know Nothingism arc
indeed striking and impressive They have
rendered themselves an object of general
attention Everybody congratulates them
on their success, and all eyes are turned
upon Mr.. Gilmer as the lone "dark-lantcrn
from Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina.

Guilty in the intelligent transmission of mes
sagcs by the submarine telegraph, in con-
sequence of the difference in time (some
five hours) between London and New York.
For instance, how odd it will be to have

An extra would of course be issued in

worded probably to the following effect

But for his efforts large number Of the students
would have been burned to death. One of the
first to discover the fire, he from room to
room waking up the sleeping students. Even
then he would not leave, and thoughtless of him

leaped all around him and the walls were falling
in, he would not leave while there was life to

OF JURISDICTION.

We continue the discussion of this subject,
and remark in the outset that there need be no
conflict between the courts OF our State and tho
United -StItcs, if common courtesy fairness, and
a desire to comply with the law shall be tho
ruling motive of those in whose hands it depos-
tied the judicial power of the country. IL each
party while performing its own proper duty
within its own sphere, will but pay due respect
TO the rights of the other there need be no such
difficulties as have of late disturbed the State of
Ohio. We affirm that each has its Jurisdiction,
and we do not desire that either should trench on
the duties or rights of the other. We respect the
authority, and submit to the DEGREES of the Courts
Of the United States. We do not always agree
with them in their decisions, but for the timp he.
ing, they are the law Of the land. II they in
fringe any of tho well defined and long recognized
rights ot tho people, as for instance, they very
clearly did in tho Drei Scott case, we shall mani
fest our dissent. and tell our readers the reasons
for the faith that is ia us.
by the reoeut decision of Judge Leavitt, we
understand that two distinct principles were re;

and the servant.
The monument is perpendicular marble shaft
ten feet high, Of quadrilateral figure Tho brief,
simple touching epitaph, part each side Of
the shaft. tells tho simple narrative Of Il devotion
as noble and as grand as any in the great annals
of history.
We have made several visits 90 the grave Of
this humble martyr in the cause Of humanity
We cannot look upon it without the involuntary
tribute of tear to his memory. We give a copy
of the epitaph;
