Illness OF the Attorney General.

The illness OF Attorney General
Black has been moro critical than at
first reported. A recent letter from
Washington to the Philadelphia Press
says:
"Uc has never been in good health
since he came TO Washington to reside.
The perplcxities of his position were
new to him he had never been In Con-
cress or any other deliberative body
The intrigues, excitements and schemes
so rife at this capitol, were calculated to
disturb the equanimity Of a much more
experienced partisan, and | am not sur
prised that they should have greatly al
fected tho tranquility Of the Attorney
General. Judge Back will never be a
political leader. He is fine schoIor
and most facie and ready newspaper
writer. His ambition is really to obtain
a position on the Supreme Bench, and
If he can continue on the right side OF
the President, he may, in the event of a
vacancy, close his career as member
of that high tribunal.
1t is rl,mored to-day that if the health
of the Attorney General does not i'm
prove, he NAV feel it incumbent upon
him to relinquish his office, in which
event the President will tender 1t to
William b. Reed"

Embarrassing Compliment.

An amusing occurrence took place in
the New Jersey State Senate at Trenton
on Monday last. A rumor having OBJ.
tanned currency that the wife of the
Senator from Burlington had presented
him with triplets, resolution was pre-.
scented, rendering the congratulations of
his peers, and recommending that his
example be followed by the entire body
of grave and reverend Senators. The
resolution was laid on the table amid a
terrific explosion which could not be re-
strained, the lobbies relishing the joke
equally as keenly as those within the
bar.

The HClDcr Matter.

The Impending crisis has not only
had a very extensive run among the
people Of the North, but it is having its
legitimate effect. 1t has taken the scales
from the eyes of the blind, and pointed
out to the thinking portion just what
may be expected to come to pass, in case
the damning heresies which it teaches
are endorsed by the people. 1t is con-
fidcntly believed that that book, which
was issued for the especial purpose Of
making proselytes, and engendering a
bitter feeling towards the South, will
not only fall entirely short of its object,
but will cause thousands of Republicans
to abandon that party.
1t is evident that aboljtionism has
swallowed up the larger portion of the
Republican party, and that the breach
between the Helperites and Conscrva
tves is daily widening.

MINNESOTA RELIEF BILL Passed.
The pressure of hard times bears heavily
on young Minnesota, the people having
pretty generally run wild in real estate
and other speculations instead of dig
ging the soil. The Legislature has
passed bill granting three years for the
redemption of property sold under
mortgage, whereat the people rejoice
greatly. The M;nnesotian thus crows
over the fact:
This is great ard glorious Relief
Measure, aud will be hailed by the peo-
pie with immense pleasure. Put in
your seed for the Spring, farmers; kiss
your wives and babies, and lay to for a
year of earnest work. Pay up as fast
as you can-live cconomically-thank
God for what you have got, and bless
the action of Republican Legislature.

Under this caption the Chicago Press
and Tribune makes some very sound
remarks upon the manner in which the
Legislatures of certain Western State.
aud Iowa among the number, are Great
ing fresh impe limcnts in the way
of collecting debts. Onr Legislature has
not done much Of anything during its
session but to create some mjsconccivcd
laws that will have sure and direct ten
dency to cripple Our best energies, to
ruin the credit Of every citizen of the
State, both at home and abroad, TO des-
troy confidence between man and man,
and to set our State back, instead of
helping ii along in the world. We deem
all kinds of "unirlenlly legislation
curse, and that stay laws, nsury law s
81 III onane genus are alike unfricnGlv to
individuals and the State. We copy
the article alluded 10. and endorse it to
the fullest extent: "Thc Legislatures
OF Iowa and Wisconsin are doing thci,
constituents good service, not in the di
rect line of duty, but by unwarranted
and indefensibc law making, the object
OF which is the creation Of new impedi
mcnts to the prompt collection Of debts
We do not know that the legislators OF
either State are not to praised because
good is likely to come Of their evil IN
tent; but if they Will 80 shape the stat
ntcs that collections, if not impossible,
are attended with costs and delays equiv
alcnt to the loss OF the amounts claimed,
arising from the fact that no Iowa or
Wisconsin man can get into debt any
where out of the State, will probably
more than compensate for the bad faith
aud worse morals which their law makers
display. Great injury will undoubtedly
be done to innocent creditors who have
lent their money to citizens OF these
States, or who have sold goods, wares
and merchandise to these dealers, upon
faith in existing statutes they would
unquestionably lose their demands bu,
at the end OF all, if the money lenders
and merchants of the East learn to
trust no man hailing from either State,
a great good will have been accom-
plished. We hope that the Legislators
that we have indicated will do their
work thoroughly. When they thrust a
law heretofore not thought of between
mortgagor and MORTGAGE, by virtue OF
which the latter is compelled to wait a
year or two before proceeding to
collect his debt now due; when stay
and appraiscmcnt laws are enacted,
let the job be so completely done that
the blindest man may see that the people
do not intend to pay if there is any vir-
tue in legal bubbles to case them of their
obligations; then the credit business
will be at an end. 1t is Jesuitical max
i'm, Evil may be done that good may
follow Let Iowa and Wisconsin &c
ahead on that; and they will soon prove
the merit OF that command which says
PAY as you 60

The St. Louis Republican Of the 9th
ult., saws: The following is from pri-
vate letter received yesterday in this
city:
FT. Brown, Feb. II:
When | last wrote, we were on our
way to Ringgold Barracks. Constant
rumors assailcd us that the boat would
be attacked on her return by Cortinas.
AS there was large amount of specie
on board, it did not seem improbable,
SO every preparation was made for its
reception.
When within two days Of Browns
vile, as every one was seated at the
dinner table, we heard two shots, and
then the cry of ga man wounded AT
once, all rushed on deck, Lieut.. Lang
don attending to his gun, which, by the
by, was the little gun lost by the Amer
leans, and afterwards taken from Corti-
mas, at Ringgo!d. Presently there were
more shots fired, and then the Lieut.. let
off the cannon. Oh, what a noise it
made-it was SPLENDID, and was upon
the deck the whole time. You cannot
conceive how much enjoyed it. On
our return our friends asked us if we
were not, frightened. Ireplied, mo in
deed" The big gun frightened them
off for while. In half an hour, Capt.
Ford's Rangers came, and Immediately
started over the river. We had Major
Tobin's command OH board, who also
crossed over, when the fighting went on
brskly for an hour. l stood on deck
and could see distinctly the two lines oil
smoke. You may imagine how exciting
the scene was, when Major Ford said
he had never been in so severe an en-
gagement.
AT length they desired our assistance,
SO the boat turned and approached the
shore, but just then the Mcxicans fled
But the best Of the joke is, that our
rangers all started on foot, bnt returned
from the enemy's camp we'll mounted
and many leading horses. They were
only fortv-fve rangers, while Cortinas'
band numbered three hundred. When
| say that Major Ford saw four slaugh-
tered beeves in their camp for supper,
the number of men must have been
quite that. Cortinas rode among his
men, giving orders, and cheering them
on. Indeed they fought bravcly.
We took young ranger on board
MORALLY wounded. He died before we
reached Brownsville. At this iuncturc,
an express was sent for Capt. Stow
mans Company, who soon reached the
scene of action. The next morning
Capt. Snowman advised Major. Ford to
cross over on the Mexican side to pro-
tect the boat, with a promise of his as.
sistancc if needed. We had proceeded
but short distance, when some Mex
leans came up from Matamoras to ask
the meaning Of this step, which, being
explained, they proposed that the Rang
ers should recross the river, and thai
they would not only protect the boa
down, but, if necessary, assist to capture
Cortinas. We reached Ringgold with
out further incident. The Mexicans KEEP
themselves rs much concealed as pos
s,o'e, tor they had an idea that Tho
hangers would as soon pop them over Al
II seems providential that we all me,
IN precisely the right place. There wa,
out one OF our men wounded, while Cor
'lnas loss was considerable.
