Col. Sol. MsRED1rH.-A pleasant story

Col. Sol. MHREDIrH.-A pleasant story
is told by correspondent of Col. Sol. Mer-
edith, of Wayne county, Ind, now COM
handing the 10th Indiana, on the Potomac.
At the Lewinsville skirmish, the colonel
was at the head of his men, as they were
formed in line of battle, under the fire of
the enemy. AS the shells exploded over
them, his boys would involuntarily duck
their heads. The colonel saw their motions.
and in pleasant way exhorted them, as he
rode along the line, to hold up their heads
and act like men. He turned to speak to
one of his officers, and at that moment an
1S.pounder shell burst in few yards of him,
scattering the fragments in all directions.
Instinctively he jerked his head almost to
the saddle bow, while his horse squatted
with fear. Boys" said he, as he raised up
and refined bis steed, "you may dodge the
large ones!" A laugh ran along the line at
his expense, and after that no more was said
about the improperly of lodging shells.

- Advices have been received from Min
lister Corwin, from the city of Mexico, with
dates to the 10th of September. There
appears to be but little encouragement for
a peaceful solution of the difficulties which
distract that country. The Juarez party
still maintained its ascendency in most of
the States. The new postal treaty nego-
tiated at Washington was not satisfactory
to the Juarez government, and has been re-
turned. An extradition treaty had been
completed and dispatched to Washington
for ratification. The commercial treaty,
the skeleton of which Minister Corwin
took with him, was still under negotiation,
with little hope of successful or satisfac-
tory arrangement. 1t appears,t that the de-
mands of the Mexican government, in COM
pensation for the privileges and rights de.
sired by our government, are greatly in ex-
cess of those contained in the late treaty
which the Senate refused to ratify.

ed sufficient. Where the certificate of such
officer cannot be procured, the testimony of
two credible disinterested witnesses must be
adduced, as in the case of deceased soldiers.
