Gen. Jacksou,s WHEELER Last Hours

The new volume of Mr. PATRONS Life of ANDREW
JACKSON has the following account of the death of
the Generals wife
"On Monday evening, the evening Before the
twentythird her disease appeared to take decided
turn for the better; and she then earnestly en-
treated the General to prepare for the fatgues OF
the morrow by having a night of undisturbed sleep
that he consented, at last, to go into adjoining
room and lie down upon sofa. The doctor was
still in the house. Hannah and George were to sit
up with their mistress. At O'Clock the General
babe her good night, went into the next ROOM and
took off his coat preparatory to lying down. He
had been gone about five minutes; Mrs. Jackson was
then. for the first time removed from her bed, that
it might be rearranged for the night. While sitting
in a chair, supported in the arms Of Hannah, she
uttered long loud narticulate cry, which was i'm
medately followed by rafting noise in her throat
Her head fell forward upon Hannah's shoulder. She
never spoke nor breathed again.
There was wild rush into the room of husband,
DOCTOR relatives friends and servants The General
assisted to lay her upon the bed. Bleed her. he
cried. No blood flowed from her arm. Try the
temple, DOCTOR Two drops stained her cap, but no
more followed.
at was long before he would believe her dead
He looked eagerly into her face, if still expecting
10 signs OF returning life. Her hands and feet
grew cold. There could be no doubt then, and they
prepared a table for laying her out. With choking
voice, the General said;

He sat all night long in the room by her side,
with his face in his hands, grIeviDg,' said Hannah,
and occasionally looking into the face and feeling
the heart and pulse of the form so dear to him.
Major Lewis had been immediately sent for arrived
just before daylight and found him still there, near

the nearly all the next day, the picture of des-

persuaded to take a little coffee.

Peonism in Mexico.

A correspondent of the Toronto Leader, writing
from Mexico, gives an interesting account of the
system of speOnism," or slavery, in force in that
country. He says:
1t is generally believed out of Mexico that when
Mexico achieved her independence she lecame
free country, and that slavery was abolished. This
was not the case. The only change that was made
being. that could be forciby taken as a slave
unless he owed q sum which he either could not or
would not pay. In such cases the debtor could be
taken by the CREDITOR and made to labor for him for
an allowance of food scarcely sufficient to MAINTAIN
existence, and for certsin amount of wages, less
actually than was required to pay church dues.
The poor creature was not given any clothes nor
allowed any pittance to buy tobacco or other (con
sideredl necessities So he Cor sfs) soon had to
borrow MORE till at last the party had so irretriev
ably sold himself that he remained slave for life
If be should be taken sick. the doctors BILL with
extortionate interest, is added to his blood money
the medical man. if he be Mexican, often readily
signing receipt for several times the amount he
has received. A free man requiring a temporary
advance, and having no other property. is Obliged
to pawn either himself or some OF his children to
raise the required amount The poor child thus
pawned is necessitated TO add to his Liabilities in
order to furnish himself with clothes, and seldom
does one thus disposed of by his parent Become a
free agent again.
Instances occur every day where men wishing to
marry but not having the SIS pay the poor clergy
have to seek party willing to take them in pawn
for that amount which swelis to greater, and
cases are by no means rare where children have to
be pawned, and so made eternal slaves TO pay the
Church for performing the general rites over dead
parent As gambling is lawful here, should party
lose more than he pay at the gambling table, or
at a cock fight, he is taken before the Alcade and
pawned to whoever will advance the funds. A wife
can pawn herself. and thus leave her home and be-
come the property of another. Such is the liberty
| in free, independent and Christan Mexico
The peon is sold by the law, his parent, by him
self; should he not like his employer, he change
him, if he find any party TO stake the required
amount on his head. But sometimes this Is a diff
cult matter, as of poems do not like thus to
encourage INSTRUMENTATION among each others

different parties as there are children. The church
has set high price upon every rite-S2 for christ

OPERATIONS OF SwTNDLER.-Quite an excitement
has been raised in Ossawatomie, Kansas by the alb
sconding of Cyrus Tator, a merchant of that town,
and probate Judge of Lykins county The Ossawa-
tonne Herald says that he took advantage of the
cessities of the people and bought up the stock
which the people were obliged to sell because they
have raised nothing to keep it This stock he paid
or in notes. due in a short time. He sold the stock
for cash as rapidly as possible and then left with
,the money. His store was taken possession OF by
his Srother-in-law, who processes to have bought
the goods. The creditors regarded the sale as a
sham to prevent them from getting their pay and
some of them forcibly entered the store and TOOK
sueh goods as they could get their hands upon 1t
- estimated that he owes the farmers five or SIX
thousand dollars.

SUNDAY AT ST. LouIs.-The Philadelphia excursion
lists were not pleased with the way in which the
people of st. Louis observe Sunday. One of them
writes to the Inquirer:
Sunday at St. Louis is a queer day. Go to church
and try to be as good gold, but you can't help
being IN the world of work and amusement. The
cars run the same as ever, many of the shops are
doing lively business. lagerbeer and dancehOuses
in full blast, and the theatre getting double re-
cepts; outtowards the fields the Germans are hav-
ing high old time. and down at the levee steamers
are arriving and departing amid all kinds of hustle,
and astonishing your weak nerves by sereaching
Yankee Doodle. Oh Susannah, &c, out of their
steampipes as if determined to leave no quiet On
earth. The effect of these horsepower melodies is
intensely ludicrous, and with the accompaniment of
high jinks froIn a crowd of boys and men who vary
the game of bluff, played in the open street, by
casual pistol firing at cats and old tiles the general
absence of sanclty is enough to drive quiet moral
Philadelphia into fits.

THE TURF.
The Results of the Fall Meeting over the
Memphis Course.

Memphis Course.
Two months ago there a prospect that the
Fall meeting of 1860 the Memphis Course
would be TIE best of any held in the Southwest,
whereas it was almost failure. This was no fault
of the prOprietors, but was owing mainly to the
many accidents which have happened to some of the
best racing stock in the country. Within six weeks
no less than twenty horses have "let down" The
races at Lexington and Louisville finished a good
many. and gentlemen who had as many as eight or
ten fine animals in their stables and were subscribers
to our races found themselves entirely unable to
fulfill their engagements and paid forfeit. There
were sixteen entries in the Campbell stake for three
year ODDS, and but of them was on the ground.
The cause of such long series of accidents is at
tributed by some TO the dryness of the past sum-
mer and the consequent hardness Of the tracks
throughout the country where races have been run
The fact that the Memphis Course is the safest in
the cOuntry-thOugh not fast as some-has been
demonstrated beyond doubt Some of our citizens
intend purchasing some fine stock and in the course
of the next six months several stables will be kept
on the grounds. Others from abroad have said that
they will train here altogether, and if the right
kind of spirit is manifested by the lovers of the
noble sport in this section shall never again be
called upon to record what was almost failure

TIE GOLD DoLLARs-As much has recently been
said in public prints about the re-coining of gold
dollars into pieces of larger denominations it NAV
be stated that orders have been issued from the
Treasury Department in two special cases only and
then representation that the smaller coins occa-
stoned much Inconvenience in the receipts and dis
bursementS; for no sooner are they paid out than
they are again returned to business transactions
there appearing to be a redundance of them among
the commercial classes. The Assistant Treasurer
at New York has for the greater facility in count
ing, been authorized to have about two millions of
them re-coined, and the Assistant Treasurer at St
Louis upward of one hundred and fifty thousand
for similar reasons. This re. coinage however an
plies to the original or early issues, which it is
known are smaller in circumference and thicker
than the later and superior coin. OF the former
there are now nine millions and of the latter six
millions in circulation. While gold dollars are A
great convenience in small, it is considered that
there is a redundance of them for large trans
actions. and hence the recent special orders in
relation to the re-cOnage. There does not seem to
be any purpose so to reduce the amount of this de-
scription Of coin as to Inconvenience the public.

Mr.. LAKES corn was harvested and weighed be-
tween October 9TH and October 10th, 1860. 1t was
large yellow corn. Of course it was much heavier
than it would be when dry, but this allowance
would show an enormous yield. Seventy pounds to
the bushel was the standard. The greatest yield
ever recorded in Ohio, the Cincinnati Commercial
says was 1876 bushels per acre. in 1885, reported b.
