"REMINISCENCES OF GEN. JACKSON
Mr.. Rives was worshipper of Gen.
Jackson, with whom ho was on tho
most intimate terms, as publisher Of
the Globe, then edited by Mr.. Blair,
and the acknowledged organ of Old
Hickory. No man was better ac-
quainted with the eventful admins
tration of Gen. Jackson than Mr..
Rives was, and have sat in his office
hour after hour listening to his re-
miniscences. Among these were the
attempts made at different times by
Mr.. Van Buren,, Attorney General Is.
Il. Butlor, and others, TO tone down
and modify Jackson's messages and
proclamations. On ono occasion--it
was in the message of December 8,
1885, on the French indemnity-Gen.
Jackson had written:
"The honor of my country shall
never be stained by an apology by mo
for the statement of truth and the
performance Of duty; nor can l give
any explanation of my official acts,
except such as is due to integrity and
jnstice, and consistent with the prin-
ciples on which our institutions have
been framed"
81 Was waiting for the Globes copy
Of the message" said Mr.. Rjves,
chatting with the General, who was
smoking his pipe, when Major Donel-
son, his private Secretary, came in,
and read a page or more of manu-
script which the Cabinet had substitu-
ted for this sentence.
1t was late on Sunday night, and
Congress was TO meet the next morn
ing. When Major Donelson read the
substituted sentence, the General said:
Now, read that again 1t was read
second time, and he then rose, paced
the floor, stopped, and said: Strike
all that out, sir, and put what wrote.
That's what l meant, and, by Cd,
that's what my message shall say"
The alterations we're made, and have
the original copy to show that this
was SO. "The words omitted" Mr..
Rives went on to say, "were milk and
water, but those retained had the bark
on"

age of oppression--whc have so loved
the form of Liberty and SO conceived
the attractions of its priceless worth,
that they have been willing to sunder
ell hereditary ties, and brave the storms
of ocean, and all the wearyings of
gaining new abode, that though
their lives might be consumed in the
perilous undertaking, their children,
at least, might be free and independ-
emit The very poorest of them had
a perception of human elevation, dem
onstrated in the very choice and haz-
ard which they thus adopt, that the
highest despoto or richest nabob whom
they left behinl had no power to con-
ceive.--Dr. Iyg.

HARBoR OF REFUGE WANTED.-We
have this Fall several very forcible ar
guments in favor Of the construction
of Harbor of Refuge at this point
Old sailors tell us that in all human
probability the four or five vessels now
ashore OH the coast could have been
saved without difficulty had there been
a Harbor of Refuge in Goderich,
most of them having passed within
sight of Goderich light house during
the recent gallo. We trust our repre-
rentatiyes and those most deeply in
terestcd will continue to press the
matter upon tho attention Of the gov
eminent. There is another point that
requires immediate attention, viz {:
that on all American charts of Lake
Huron, the entrance to Goderich. har-
Dor is set down as having only sccen
feet of water, when in reality there is
at least tweire feet Of water at the
shallowest place.
Ignorance Of this fact nearly proved
the destruction Of an American vessel,
the Xazeppa, last week. She had
lost her head canvas in The gale, and
lay at anchor off our harbor for near
ly two days because of the error in
the chart we have alluded to.-Hroa

Affairs in regard to the capture of
the Florida. Gen. Webb begins his
communication by rehearsing the
conduct Of Great Britain and other
nations in recognizing the beligerenoy
Of the rebels, which was sanctioned
by Brazil as soon as possible. Gen.
Webb declares that the United States
have kindly feeling towards Brazil,
and adds that, animated by such SEN
timent for the Brazilian Government,
the United States will feel regret at
learning that commander in the
navy, without any instructions or au-
thority whatever, took on himself tho
responsibility to capture one Of the pi-
ratical cruisers of the rebels while she
was ancnoreu at tuS pow ur DuIrIu i,

The HaalGs Panama letter gives
an account of the capture Of the pi-
rates who had planed the destruction
of the steamer Sairddor. A letter of
instructions from the rebel Secretary
of the Navy to capt. Hogg, command
ing the enterprise, contains tho fol-
lowing:
"You will endeavor to strike q
blow at the California TRADE and the
whalemen in the Pacific, and should
you capture bullion it is suggested,
that if you have no better means of
shipping it to Europe, you place it in
the hands of British merchant of es-
tablished character at Valparaiso. a
French man-of-war might receive it
as freight. You are to injure the en-
envy in accordance with the rules Of

in the shortest time; Should you
seek neutral ports, you will be care
full to practice the usual courtesies."
