AN EvENTFuL CAREER.

The career of Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas, is one
of the most eventfu on record, and matter what
his enemies may say, proves him to be man en-.
lowed with high, brilliant and remarkable character
istics. No man has succeeded as he has succeeded
without being possessed Of exalted and commanding
attributes
His commencement in life was unconlmonly bril-
liant. Elected Governor of Tennessee at an early
age, he showed that he possessed administrative
abilities Of order of excellence. In Congress he
attracted considerable attention, and was regarded
all hands as rising man. Shortly after this we find
him vagabond and outcast among the Indians,
earning among the untutored savages on account Of
his frantic and tremendous excesses the appeation
of Big Drunk For some years he was lost sight
of, and was considered an irreparably ruined man.
When Texas struck for liberty and independence,
Sam Houston was appointed to command her army.
He won the splendid victory of San Jacnto, and
Texas was free. He was elected President of the
young Republic again and again, and as such con-
Guided the Treaty Of Annexation by which the Lone
Star Republic became member of our confederacy.
His grateful people elected him to the United States
Senate He became politically unpopular two or three
years ago, and was left out. This present month he
ran for Governor of Texas and the returns show that
he has been elected by eight or ten thousand majority;
and as the Legislature is with him he will probably be
elected to the United States Senate if he desires it.
He has been avorably spoken of all over the coun-
try as o candidate for the next Presidency, and
| whether he succeeds or not, will not be without
strength in the Charleston Convention Or before the
people, His election to the Chief Magistacy Of the
United States would not be as remarkable as some of
the events which have sgnazed his checkered career
but 1t would be grand close Of strangely yaregated
lfefull of ups and downs, apses and PROFESSIONS
which have sounded all the depths and hghths Of
prosperity and adversely.

The Sickles Trial .

As a matter of news, the trial of Daniel
f. Sickles for the murder of Philip Bar
ton Key, which is now progressing at
Washington, overshadows every thing else.
1t is, of course, out Of our power to give
Il narrative oil the proceedings, nor would
we do it if we could. The details which
fill the dailics are too disgusting for any
but depravcd appotites and such will of
course crafty themselves through the
proper channels.
There seems to be no doubt as to what
will be the result of the trial, so far as the
accused is concerned. Every new devel-
opement shows more distinctly that pub.
lie sympathy at Washington, and prob
ably in the jury-box, is largely in his IA
vor. Every t~ranspiring event seems to
give strength to this sentiment. We for
bear any opinion as to his desert-the
further Developments of the trial may
present his case differently. We wish he
might be shown to be innocent of infra,-
sion of law especially as it is a forcgone
conclusion that he will escape punishment.
The fate of the accused is really, in itself,
of little consequence in comparison with
the future interests Of society as involved
in it.
There is a prospect hat the casa will
occnpy many days yet, indeed there seems
to be an incxhaustible amount of evil
dence, and the manner of presenting it is
the occasion Of frequent and heightened
discussions But the case will close some
time and then we will give the points Of
interest involved in it.
The Boston ATLAS and Bre sums up the
case and its probable result as follows;
THAT as a matter of Law and justice the
two questions of the adultery and the MUIR
der are separate and distinct questions, is
indisputable-that they will be Observed
either in the argument or in the verdict,
no one can belieye-so that really, as the
ease now looks, when this trial is conclu-
de1, there will be no point settled more
than there was at the commencement /; that
Key vas guilty of a deliberate betrayal
of ais fienl's confidence, of doing him
the most gr!eyous wrong which one man

strongly to demonstrate the certain and
speedy decline of Democracy. Il has lost
Nil foothold in New England the recent
to IN AMI municipal elections in New York
give proof that Republican principles are
pervading the hearts of the people. Recent
elections in Michigan, and Wisconsin give
similar results. Ii is not an u~ntroquent
thing to hear, even from Slave States, of
the triumph Of the opposition. There is
in their ranks the union aud activity which
denotes Il determined purpose. On the
other hand theranks of the enemy are every
