A recent letter in the Dubuque Herald gave an interesting description of the late Gen. lyons personal appearance:
 He is wiry in build and toughlooking in ap- pearance. His hair is long and thick, his whisk- CTS bushy and heavy-both are indescribably sandy in hue. His eyes are his most remarka- ble featare-either blue or gray, at times per haps both a sort of stormy expression which is frightened by the wave-like wrinkles around them, dwells constantly in them. making him look as if something was constantly going wrong -or different from his wishes.
 His forehead is high and of even width, giv- ing him when uncovered an appearance of great intellectual force, which is aided by the firm cut lines of his mouth. When he first looks at van. that stormy expression settles into his eyes -the fieshy waves roll up beneath and around his eyebrows, and you think he spreparing tt find serious fault-perhaps to get as mad as tht --at what you have to tell him: q,
 You finish, the storm rolls off and with al absent air he answers The waves again roll uI when you commence to reply. He smiles litt' or none is strict disciplnarian has the full con fdence of his men, among whom, or at leas among the regulars, he is known as "Daddy A lot of regulars will be scufiiing on the campu somebody calls out "Daddy is coming !' ant in an instant everything is as quiet as ameeting house. He goes absently along, plucking hi beard carelsssly with one hand, stopping her. and there to give an order or two or ask som, question in harsh authoritative voice, and i the sort of man that man will stop to take good look at as he passes. don't think he ha anything like physical fear-is all through soldier, and will yet make his mark high in tn military world.
 Barnum lays it down as a rule, in his book 0 'The Art of Making Money" that the "b be- inc to advertise judiciously, is when othel lon't.n This taken as fact, now is the time dveuise.

From Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. II.
w. F. Marney publishes to-day a petit
tion from the Territorial Legislature of
Kansas, to Legislatures now in session,
setting forth the suffering of people of
Kansas, and acknowledging the liberality
OF the people, in furnishing food aud
clothing for the destitute; and asks from
Legislatures appropriation for the purpose
OF buying one hundred thousand bushels
OF spring wheat, and sufficiency of corn in
time for spring planting. He says be has
just returned from Kansas, and have with
him statistics taken from reports of town
ship committees, who have applied for re-
lief at Atchison, which shows two hun
dred and twenty two townships, with forty
seven thousand destitute persons. In his
trip through the interior of Kansas, he
found over twenty teamsters with frozen
feet and hands, several Of whom, it is fear
ed, will lose their feet. Teams are reduced
to skin and bones, and are two weak for
long journeys, South and West, unless Le-
gislatiye aid are furnished them, hundreds
will perish for want of food.

From the Toledo Blade.
Mr.. Lincoln and Mag. Anderson.

The cases of the President elect and the
Commander of Fort Sumter furnish good
illustration of the workings of our Repub-
lican institutions. During the Black Hawk
Indian War of 1882, Maj. Anderson was
Inspector General of the Illinois volunteers,
of one of the companies of which Mr.. Lin
coin was Captain. Now the former has
been promoted to the position of Major
of the First Artillery, and the latter to
that of Commauder-in- Chief of the Army
and Navy. The one is in charge of a post
to which the eyes of the nation are direct
ed, and with the defence of which the
greatest interests are connected; and the
other has been chosen by his countrymen
as the Executive of their Government
The new relations which the two are to as
sumo. will, we doubt not, prove as honora-
ble to each as did their earlier associations,
and their respective duties be as faithfully
performed.

EThe subcommittee of the Compromise
Convention at Washington have adopted Mr..
GUTHRIEs plan of settlement, which in SUBJ
stance provides that all the territory of the Uni
ted States shall be divided by a line from east
to west on the parallel of 36 deg. 80 min. north
latitude; and in all territory north of that line
involuntary servitude, except as punishment of
crime, is prohibited while it shall belong to the
United States or be under Territorial Govern
ment; and in all territory south of said line in
voluntary servitude is recognized as 1t criSts in
the Souther, States of the Union, while sueh ter
ritory shall belong to the United States or be
under the Territorial Government; and neither
Z Congress nor the Territorial Government shall
. have power to hinder or prevent emigrants TO
e said territory from taking with them persons
held to labor or involutary servitude, according g
to the laws and usages of the State from which
such persons may be taken, nor TO impair the
right arising out of such relation, and be sub
ject to Judicial cognizance. Italso provides that
states formed from the territory, either n orih or
South of the proposed line, shall be submitted
into the Union on an equal footing with the
original States, with or without involuntary
servitude or labor, as their constitutions may
provide. Also that Congress shall not have the
power to establish Slavery in any State, or in
the District of Columbia without the consent of
Maryland and Virginia. The African slave
trade is forever prohibited, and the paragraph
of the fourth article of the Constitution is not
to be construed to prevent any of the States
from the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law
Lastly, no territory shall be henceforth acquired
without the consent of three -fourths of the Sen
ate- This plan amounts simply to total sur
render of the principles of Republicansm, and
would defile the National Constitution with
Pro-Slavery clauses, that would act as perpetu-
oil obstacles to the progress of Freedom 1t
comedies nothing to the North and grants every
thing to the South. Away with such comprc-
misses! Ii the Constitution is to be amended at
all it must be in a widely different direction
from this. The only change that the Constitu-
ton needs is to make it still more Anti-Slavery
than it is at present. The North will aecep. no
other alteration.

GO EIt would appear. from the proceedings of
the Southern conspirators, assembled at Mont
gomery, Alabama, that they are progressing in
the formation of their Confederacy with consid-
erable unanimity. They have already offered
to the European Governments the double bribe
of free trade and promise, made, probably, on
the basis of Punic faith, to resist the opening
of the African slave trade. This is also intend
ed as temptation to the Border slave States
as an assurance to Virginia that they do not de-
sign interfering with her commerce in negroes,
and to the public opinion Of Kentucky, Missou-
ri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Maryland
against the foreign slave trade.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. -.

The Grand Jury of this city brought to
the attention of the Commonwealth At.
torney yesterday, the fact tina, three incen-
diary papers, known as the New ork
World, New York Tribune and New
York Times, are now circulated IN TINS
city, contrary to law. The Common
wealth's Attorney, before proceeding to
act ON this information, required direct
specifications, and suggested that the Grand
,Jurv should first present the names of the
parties engaged in circulating these papers,
before legal proceeding can be resorted to.
The Grand inquisitors thereupon informed
the distinguished State Attorney that this
requisition of the law would be complied
with now in a day or two. The next thing
we shall hear of will, no doubt, be the
indictment of our poor periodical dealers,
and if possible, their Imprisonment.

Hurrah for Tennessee.

The Tennessee election has resulted in worse
defeat of the Secessionists than was first sup
posed. Only two Secessionist delegates were
elected and the whole State has gone some fifty
thousand for Union and twenty thousand against
Convention.
ANDY JOHNSON and ETHRIDGE feel good, and
they have occasion SO to do.
We anticipate the abatement of the storm Of
foolish fanaticism henceforth, and in no State
North of Tennessee, we venture to assert the
opinion, will there be found set of men with
reckless hardihood sufficient to risk the vote OF
the people on Secession.

Another Presidential Victory.

An amusing incident occurred Thursday
at Rochester, where, as at every other sta
ton along the line, large crowd had as
sembled 10 meet and welcome the Presi-
dent elect. Mr.. Lincoln having stepped
out on the platform, amidst the enthusias-
tic greetings and plaudits which rose from
the assembled multitude, heard this boast
full assertion made by a certain well grown
individual near the platform.
"Abraham! l guess l can lick salt off
your head, anyhow!'' |
"Can you friend? Come up then and let
US see.
With spring and bound the tall ri
val of our tall President accepted the in
vi;ation, and was on the platform beside
Mr.. Licnoln in moment. Then the two
stood back to back before all the crowd; ;
but the trial brought instant disparage-
ment to the tall pretentions Of the boastful
individual who had first thrown down the
gauntlet. Patsburg Gazette.
