Magnanimous Buchanan.

There is something base, on the part of
the President, in keeping Major Anderson
at Fort Sumter under the present circum.
stances. Knowing him to be Southron
and stakeholder, he should be offered a
furlough or leave of absence, and substi-
tute sent aoho is not a tSouthron. Leave
alrthe Doubledays-whether three score or
one. The people Of South Carolina have
been measurably disarmed by their sympa-
thy for Major Anderson, and President
Buchanan knows it. Why WAS the former
commandant at Fort Moultrie withdrawn,
and Anderson putin his place, just at the
beginning of our issues? Had the latter
been as good politician as a soldier, he
would have declined the appointment, and
then was his moment to resign. Now, it is
point of honor with him to remain, unless
the Federal Government will show more
magnanimity than is its character, and will
voluntarily move to relieve him. Au con-
trarie the purpose is to disarm us, through
him. But this cannot last The result will
be tho sacrifice of brave man, at the post Of
supposed duty, whose government delib-
erately sacrifices him with the hope of some
small temporary profit. Why not send

A NEwAND FORMIDABLE INSTRUMENT
OF WARFARE-A HINT FOB THE SOUTH.
Upon the late false report Of conspira.

steam and other machinery, had under his
charge twelve large steam boilers (some of
them on wheels), and number of power.

he had ready for attachment India.rubber
hose, to lead to any or all parts Of the yard,

action at all hours. The pumps could be
put into operation at any time, throwing
hundreds of tons of boiling hot water into
the faces of the invaders, in the same man.

placed called Currioitos, where, after vain.
ly endeavoring with bis gallant little band
to cut his way through the Mexican ranks,
he was overwhelmed by superior numbers
and taken prisoner. He remained cap
tive for several months, when be was ex-
changed in time to take part in the bloody
action of Monterey
Col. Hardee continued with Gen Tay-
lor for some time, when he was detached
with large part of that officers force,
to join the divisiea of Gen. Scott at Vera
Cruz.
His next interview with the enemy was
in a hotly contested skirmish near Vera
Cruz, in which the Americans we're vic
torious, and he received the brevet of
Major for his gallantry. He accompanied
Scott in his triumphal march from Vera
Cruz to the city of Mexico, and which
marked the progress, of the American
army between those two points. At the
close of the war the brevet of Lieutenant
Colonel was bestowed on him as special
recognition Of his bravery and usefulness
in the stirring conflict of Churubusco.
During the administration of President
Pierce, Congress created four new regiments,
and be was promoted to the rank of Major
in one of them. At this time he was de.
tailed by the then Secretary eff War, Col
Jefferson Davis, to prepare system of tao.

motioned method of Scott After bringing
his labors to a successful issue, he was or

into practical operation. Tie young SOL

volunteer companies of the country to such

"household words" He has but recently

We presume that Col. Hardee is ready,

Good Material for Soldiers.

A letter from Warrington, Fla, to the
Pensacola Obseruer, thus describes pri.
vate in one of the companies:
"Plofessor Day is just six aud half
feet high in his stockings. His weight is
three hundred and ten pounds, and he
measures seven feet in the girth. He is
the tallest and biggest man in the regi.
ment, and is noted for his great strength
as we'll as for his huge proportions. He
has been known to shoulder six hundred
bale of COTTON, and has frequently taken
whiskey barrel by the chimes, raised it at
arms length, and drank at the buug hole.
On one occasion he threw q mustang pony
and his rider over ten-rail fence. For
this offence he was tried and convicted in
the Circuit Court of IIauderdale county,
and fined FIVE hundred dollars. This re-.
markable man is the youngest and small.
est of seventeen brothers. His father is
two and half inches taller than be is,
but not so thick set. His brothers are tai.
ler, but none of them are so stout as the
Professor. 1t is necessary to state that
bis father has been twice married, and has
eight children by his first wife and nine by
his present wife.
The Professor is the Principal of the
Marion High School, and is learned man
in every sense of the word. He is mas.
ter of six languages, and as mathemati-
clan he has no superior. He is, besides,
one of the best men living, and is noted
for his good nature. He never had but
one fight in bis life, and then he killed q
horse and nearly murdered man.

The CAUSE OF LOLA MoNTEz's DEATH,
The Philadelphia Press relates the fol-
lowing of the late Lola Montaz:

THE CAUSE OF LOLA MONTEZ's 8 DEATH
The Philadelphia Press relates the fol-
lowing of the late Lola Montez:
A few months ago, she was attacked with
paralysis, which ended in death. The cause
of this attack remains to be related, and we
shall mention it here. When Lola went to
California as an actress, she engaged an
agent. This gentleman wasa married man,
with two children, and seeing him unhappy
in their absence, she presented him with
sufficient money to bring them and their
mother on. Shortly after their arrival, the
husband died. Lola then adopted the
widow and orphans educating the latter
at Mrs. Willard's seminary at Troy. An
officer in the United States navy fell in love
with one of these girls, and Lola, literally
acting in loco PARENTS, approved of his suit
During her last visit to England, the mar
riage took place. Lola did not again en-
counter her protege, (who accompanied her
husband to distant State, where he was
detailed for public duty, } until recent Pc
riod, when she met her walking down
Broadway, in company with a lady Of the
highest ton. With her usual impulse, Lola
rushed to her young frieud-literally the
child Of her charity--as if to embrace her.
The young lady coldly drew back and said,
"Madam, I do not know you.!' "Not
know me? | am Lola-Lola Montez ~
"Madam," she exclaimed, as she turned
coldly away, 81 know you not, I neverssaw
you before, and if you persist in speaking
to me I will call policeman. and walked
away. Lola went home, ssmore 10 sorrow
than in anger" and that same day had the
first attack Of paralysis, which, a few days
ago, destroyed her. Lola Montez was 1T
