nominees, and agreea bic manner in which
they were nominated, it were useless to
doubt the triumphant election Of the can
Sidates.

To Attain Long Life.

He who strives after long and plea
sant term Of life, must seek to attain
continued equanimity, and carefully to
avoid everything which too violently
taxes his feelings. Nothing more quick.
ly consumes the vigor of life than tho
violence of the emotions of the mind.
We know that anxiety and cares can de.
stroy the healthiest body; we know that
fright and fear. yes, excess Of joy, be-
comes deadly. They who are naturally
cool, and Of quiet turn of mind, upon
whom nothing can make too powerful
an impression-who are not wont to be
excited either by great sorrow or great
joy, have the best chance of living long
and happy after their manner. Pre-
serve, therefore, under all circumstan-
ces, a composure of mind which no hap
piness, no misfortune can too much dis.
turb. Love nothing too violently-hate
nothing too passionately-fear nothing
too strongly. For still. eventually, eve
rything which befalls thee, the good as
well as the bad, deserves neither i'm
moderate hatred nor love; for already
on many occasions hast thou perceived
though often truly too late. that thou
hast placed too high value on those
things which passionately charmed or
panied thee.

was disbanded on the 10th of Jnly,
184S. The war being ended, Gen.
Shields laid down the sword, and as
sumed once more his place in civil life
He was brilliantly received on bis arri-
val in the United States and when he
returned to the State of his choice (Tl-
linois) he was elected to fill the position
vacated by Mr.. Breeze-that of Senator
from that Statc-to represent it in the
Capitol at Washington. This was in
the year 1s49. Owing to some techni-
cality he was refused admission as a
Senator. when he promptly resigned the
post and was as promptly reelected.
He returned to Washington, and for six
years proved himself to be as able in
council as he was on the battle field.
He was unostentati GUS and modest, spoke
but seldom but when he did, it was
with marked effect, and sec cured for him
universal attention. He represented the
interests of the democratic party, and
was firm in his position. In 1855 he
left the Senate, leaving at the same time
Illinois, and went to settle on the lands
awarded to him for his services in the
army, which lands be had selected in
the Territory of Minnesota. When
that tract became State Gen Shields
was returned to represent it in Con-
gress as a Senator, and took his seat
after its admission in May, 1858. Gen
Shields having drawn the short term, he
had to vacate his seat in 1859, and, not
securing reelection, he went further
west into California. From his retire.
ment he was again brought out by the
present war, having been appointed by
Congress Brigadicr General. with a
commission dating from August 10,
1861. This commission he at first re-
fused but, deeming it his duty to
stand by his adopted country in her
troubles, he came forth, and, after a
long voyage, reached this city and the
copital, where (his name, in consequence
of his refusal, having been stricken
from the army list) he waited some time
before he obtained a command. The
lamented death of Gen. Lander left that
division without head, and Gen Shields
was at once appointed to the command,
with the rank of Brigadier General, his
division forming part of tue corps
d'arn,ee of Major General Banks. He
has again brought himself before the
public by his deeds, and once more our
country rings with the name of Gene
raj Shields.
General Shields is of good personal
appearance, about five feet Gig ht inches
in stature, with dark hair and complex
ion. His style of speaking easy, fluent
and agreeable. lie is still, Of course, a
progressive democrat !; but, at the same
time. is a strong supporter of the gov
crnment of the United States in its
unity and integrity.
