John G. Calhoun's Dream.
A correspondent of the Mississippi
Wing has cut from an anonymous pam
phlet an account Of dream of Mr.. Cal
houn, about the time of the stormy sec
tional agitation which preceded the a
doption of the compromise measure Of
1850:
Mr.. Calhoun. it seems, was drawing
up plan for the dissolution Of the I'm
ion, when, late at night. being very much
exhausted, lie fell asleep, and had the
following dream, as related by him
self:
cat late hour last night, as was
sitting in my room writing, was surpri-
sed at the very unceremonious entrance
of visitor who came in and took seat
beside me. l was more annoyed, as
had given strict orders to the servants
that should on no account be disturbed
The manner in which be eLtered-per-
feclly self possessed--taking seat op-
posise me--without word-no salut4
tion--no apology-as though my room
and all within belonged to him, excited
in me as much surprise as it did indigna
ton.
Gas raised my head to look at hin
over the top of my shaded lamp, l dis
covered that he was wrapped in THU
cloak, which completely hid his features
from view, and, as I raised my head, be
spoke: -s
.What are you writing, Senator from
South CaIolina?"

"What is that?' cried in alarm; "wh.

4 s.He said no more, but drew from be
meath his cloak an object which he plac

had been writing. The object, gentle
