ZoLLIooyrER's CAREER,-Poor Zoll-

ZoLLICoTFER's CAREER, Poor Lolh-
cofferl He has been most unfortunate
man. Oistrusted by his party on account
of his supposed liberality toward the
North, which was his birthplace, his polit-
ical aspirations were destroyed before the
rebellion commenced. In its inception
he was bitterly opposed to it, and strug-
gled against disunion till that great flood
tide came which swept away so many OF
those whose names were once venerated
throughout the land.
Assuming command of the Confederate
troops in East Tennessee, he became a
terror there and along the Upper Cum
berland, not, as | am cc:nvinced, through
any disposition of his own to be cruel or
rapacious, but on account of the wild and
undiciplined hordes whom he commanded
but could NJ" no.. control. His fidelity to the
n.rrstart government was doubted. aud he
fought the battle of Wild Cat against the
advice of every colonel in his army, and
with a reckless desire to obtain military
distinction, and prove himself faithful to
the new cause.
That attack was unsuccessful, simply
because it was twenty-four hours too late.
Fooled there, he brought his troops to
their late position on the Cumberland,
threatening the heart of Kentucky, keep
ing open the navigation of the Cumber-
land and ready to act in concert with the
army at Bowling Green. No posi..,,on
was ever better chosen, even for its own
strength or its value as connected with
other military movements on the same
line. ....
Gen. Crittenden relieved him of his
command on the LIST day of January, and
Gen. Zollicofer went home for few
days. He lett his home again, to die at
the head of his army, fighting a battle
against his own judgment, and in the mo-
ment of defeat,

A VERY LITTLE WINE.-Mr. Weed of
of the Albany Evening journal, in one of
his letters from London, gives us his idea
OF moderation in the use of wine at din
ner. He says:
" One popularity, in the good socie-
ty' of London, strikes me as worthy of
remark. It is the small quantity of wine
drank at dinners, and the entire avoidance
Of small talk about the age, vintage,
quality, &C., &c, of wines. Here, the
various wines are served and drank, mod
erateiy, without remark. A glass of
pale sherry after soup, one or two glasses
of champagne with the meat courses,
glass of claret or hook with the dessert,
and glass of Madeira or port after the
removal of the cloth, is the extent of wine
drinking, and many gentlemen sip rather
than take off the contents Of their
glasses. The only remark about wines I
have heard, at table, was at Sir j. Emer-
son Tenants who observing that previ-
ously had drank Madeira, had placed
decanter of the old wide Capt Cuttle)
at my right hand, with the remark, you
prefer MADEIRA I spoke of the absti-
nence of English gentlemen, where I was
breakfasting this morning, to which a
friend replied, I'VE have reformed our
habits in this respect, partly from improv-
ed taste, preferring the light to the heavy
wines; but mainly on account of the ten
der toes and rheumatic fingers you see
among u.s.

Mr.. CoRwINs' MISSION TO MEXICO.
The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Express says that Mr., Cor
wins request for leave of absence from
his post has not been granted, and that
his mission has proved a total failure,
principally for the following reason
ut appears that in August last instruc-
tons were forwarded from the State De-
partment to Mr.. Corwin to negotiate a
treaty with the government of Mexico,
which should contain stipulation that
the government of the United States
would assume the payment of the interest
at 3 per cent. of the debt due from Mex
leo to English. bondholders, amounting to
about S63,000,000, for the term of five
years, provided that the Mexican govern
ment would pledge to the United States
its faith for the reimbursement of the
money thus paid, with six per cent. inter-
est thereon, to be secured by hen ',;:pon
all the public lands and m'nero. rights in
the Meascon States of Lo,1sr California
chihuahua, .Son0;ra and S,nalou, the
property so pledged to become absolute
in the United States at the expiration OF
six years, when the foreclosure was to
take effect, if the reimbursement should
not be made at that time.
The idea of relieving Mexico from the
evil of foreign Intervention, by assuming
to pay portion of her Indebtedness was
excellent, but the manner of carrying out
this idea, as proposed by our Secretary
of State, was an egregious blunder, Of
fensive to Mexico, and anything but wise
or proper on the part of our government"

"A member Of the 9th New Hamp-
shire regiment having deserted, one of the
sergeants of the company was sent in pur-
suit, and overlook the object of his search
in Chester, where he arrested him. The
man assigned as a reason for deserving
that he was deeply enamored of and
wished to wed one of the fair daughters of
Chester. The sergeant kindly granted
him time to be married, but as. the happy
couple were about to retire for the night,
the cruel sergeant presented pair of
handouts, which he requested the newly
made bridegroom to wear that night in
remembrance of his friendship, as there
were some doubt in his captors mind in
regard to his safety. This took the pris-
oner by surprise. But as a compromise,
one of the hands of the bride was chained
to one of the bridegroom's, and the happy
pair were left for the night. In the morn
ing the bracelet was removed, and the
prisoner taken to his regiment, where he
had plenty of leisure to reflect upon his
romantic marriage.

the age of fifty, B, swain of twenty,
fell in love with this charming widow dur

His father, who }" designed him for the
ministry" had peculiar horror of the
sweet widow, whom he regarded as little
better than one of the wicked Her black
eyes, her heaving bosom. and her elastic
tread, were to him only the symbols of
Old Nick. He was in despair, he visited
the widow, and besought of her, if she had
a particle of mercy, not to ruin his son.
In vain the widow protested that she had
used no arts-had only seen the youth a
few times, and was entirely Indifferent to
him; the father still insisted, and the pref
ty widow promised that if the boy came
sagg%sn to see her, it should be bis last visit.
Not many days passed when the enamored
youth made his arrangements for visit,
of which the widow had notice. The few
previous interviews had taken place under
circumstances peculiarly favorable to ro-
nance and sentiment, upon moonlight wales
or in q parlor tete q tete. This time the
timid youth was told that Mrs. WIS at

~ Thurlow Weed, in letter to Il

~ Thurlow Weed, in letter to the
Albany Journal, dated at London, Eng
land, on the 31st ultimo, says that there
were several other causes besides that re-
lating to Mason and Slidell, contributing
to the outburst which the Trent affair occa-
stoned in England. There were the Nor
rill tariff, the blockade, the sedulous mis-
representations of the Confederate party,
and in particular the industriously propa-
gated declaration that Secretary Seward
was determined to have war with Great
Britain. At first nothing but war would
suffice but now, Mr.. Weed says, whatever
is just and reasonable will satisfy the pub
lie indignation. "If," he remarks, g our
people only knew how good and true a
friend to America the Queen is, they
would feel that we are not likely to be
wronged in her day.

DEsPoNDENT.-All reports from Rebel
dom represent the gratest dependency
prevailing among all classes. The soldiers
are mutinous, the officers are disguised,
the masses are sick at heart of the war
and its results. A gentleman of this vi
cinity, who recently vicited Norfolk under
flag of truce, conversed with an officer
in the Rebel army, who confessed that the
great body of the Southern people, both
III the army and out of it, were tired of
the unequal conflict, and wished it were
ended. They feel that they have en-
barked upon an enterprise which must, in
the end, miserably fail. 1t only needs that
the Government shall take advantage of
this gloomy condition of the Southern
mind to deal the Rebellion its death blow.
