He challenged the advocates of any other creed to come and undergo as stern test.

A Caution to 1ll-Natured Lovers.

A bad tempered lover, after making good deal of talk and disturbance, has just come to an end Not long since, King of Abys- synia, Theodorus by name, hearing of the death of Prince Albert, sent polite mes- sage to Queen Victoria, offering to take the position made vacant by the nntimely de- mise of that functionary. Now King The odorus was unfortunately gentleman of objectionable color. of doubtful facial an gle, and little rough in manner. So the Queen was mortified and angry, and said nothing about the offer, especially to the messenger of King Theodolus, which was snobbish in the extreme. Whereupon, the King lost his temper, and commenced ca ging every Englishman he could lay his hands on; whether intending to keep them till they were fat enough to be good eating, or, when he had collected enough, to swap them with the British Ministry for the Queen, does not appear.
 Whatever the intentions of King Theo-
  stood; and British army under command of General Napier, was fitted out against him. This expedition, after progressing rather slowly for several months, has final ly arrived at happy termination. On Good Friday, the cable tells us, Gen. Ma pier attacked King Theodorus, defeated him with great slaughter, and, on Easter Monday, assaulted his capital, took it by storm, and released all the prisoners, two or three dozen in number, incidentally killing King Theodorus and few thousand Abyssinians.
 The moral of this little comedy excellent Not only Is the rejected lover taught to moderate his transports. but~the savage and the Fenian is warned against stirrino up the British lion. It is the wonderful. the propensity in every uncivilized potentate, the moment he has got together few thous- and warriors armed with few hundred hlnt-lock muskets to try and thrash Eng land! yet he is sure to do it and to be beat ed and confiscated in the attempt. The native princes of India kept it up as iong as any native princes were left to fight; while Fenian Head Centers are doing their best to repeat the experiment in Ireland. In fact this seems to be Anglo-Saxon luck everywhere! Here in America, the Indians have been trying to exterminate us for more than two centuries; and now the Southern negro must undertake to put down the Southern white!

GOSHEN. Anril Oath laf2

GOSHEN, April 26th l85S EDITOR SENrINsL:-I observe that in the list of Representatives to the General Assembly. you have marked Gen. Moses Cook with a 'd" implying that he IS Democrat. This is an error The
 General, through his long political life, extending to nearly half century, has invariably voted the Whig or the Republican ticket. He is an honora- Die high minded man who always votes an open ballot. He may differ from some of his party in relation to some extreme party measures, but he certainly ought not to be classed as a Democrat He favors the reelection of the Hon. James Dixon to the Senate of the United States, believing that he has faithfully and ably discharged his duty to the State and on that issue and that alone hs WAS triumphantly elected.
 His friends are naturally indignant at the attack made upon him in the last veok's Enquirer, de- cratic company, 8 charge both unjust and in very bad taste-and which will react upon those who made it. Although our party have been some- what divided in relation to individuals in our town, which ls often the case where party has great strength, Gen. Cook has never been defeated has often been elected; and he has always made useful and able member, faithfully representing the interests of his constituency.
 A REPUBLICAN. I've are sorry if we have done Gen. Cook any in justice. We are well aware of his general political principles, but knowing that he was elected as i Dixon man chased him with tine Democrats the Senatorial question being the chief of the coming SeSSlOn.--Setlnel.l
 A well known Goshen Ex-Senator attri- butes the success of the Democracy in that town, to ''combination of rum and pic ty.'" This view is strongly corroborated by the foregoing letter. It comes straight from the "piety," Since Pecksniff nothing has been seen so Pecksnifian. How beautifully it deprecates the brazen, atrocious, interruptions impudence of the i Sentinel in stigmatizing with its coppery cd" the name of one who has invariably"
 voted the Whig or Republican ticket for half a century. and who is Repub- lican in all things, except that he favers the policy of Andrew Johnson and be- lieves that James Dixon has faithfully
 and ably discharged his duty! Then our versatile friend of the Sentinel lengthens his face, turns up his eyes, and apologies with such a sweet humility that we wonder so rich vein of ''piety" has remained so long unworked.
 l Now the Ex-Senator, above referred to, inclines to put two"d's" before, rather than one after, the name in question. That is not quite our taste. We like the General much better than we like his apologist. He always helps one side or the other 6 good deal; and although his favorite side has of late been the Democratic, he don't cant all the the time he is bushwhacking nS.

GEN. JACKSON AND GEN. GRANT.-General

he is accompanied by two orderlies in the

of General Jackson's last visit to New Orleans:
.aThe fatigues of the day ended, the old
hero repaired with many of the citi7ens to
apartments prepared for him in that mlasnifi-
cent structure, the St. Louis Hotel. The
captain of an Irish company detailed Q stal-
wart SON of Erin as sentinel at the Generals
door,. There he was, walking his rounds,
when the General observed him, and turning
to General Lewis, asked:
"What does this mean 2"
"On!y a sentinel at your door, General"
I shall ever remember that look, and the
exclamation my God as he strobe up to the
sentinel with manner which was the Gene

The Israeiites Down on Grant.

A large and enthusia tic meet Of the Isra-
elites of Memphis was held IN the hall OF the
Memphis Club, last night, (says the Ara'anchs,
of the l6th,) in response to.a call published
in the city papers. Every seatwas filled, and
many had 10 content themselves with Standing
room. In point of numbers, wealth and re-
speclability, it was the most influential :aeet-
ing of religious OF political caste, held in
this city for some months. The following
resolutions were adopted without dissenting
voice in this sssemblage Of Jewish citizens OF
all political stripes:
Whereas, Ulysses S. Grant, General of the
United States, did, in his official capacity, is
sue, or caused to be issued, an order known
as General Order No. IL, dated at Oxford,
Mississippi, December II, 1862, and which
order is hereuuto appended; and
Whereas, The said General Order No. IL
was an unjust and wanton libel, not upon in
diyiduals,. but expressly made to apply to the
whole race of Israel, branding us as taithless,
dishonest and disloyal, and its purpose and
effect wero to persecute and pre- secute those
to whom it was applied, on account of their
birth, which, with their religion, is their only
crime: and
Whereas, The said Ulysses S. Grant is now
before the country as a candidate for the
highest Office in the gift Of the American peo-
pie therefore:
Resolred That we, the Israelites of the city
of Memphis, do believe that the said U. S.
Grant has, by the said order, shown himself
TO be man unfit for the high position to
which he aspires, and incapable of admins
tering the laws to all classes with impartiality
and without prejudice.
Resolved, That we each and every one, in
dividually and collectively, as lsraeIites, who
have respect -for.on honor and our religion,
pride inseur race and love -tor. our countrys do
pledge ourselves to use every honorable means
in our power to defeat the election Of the
said U. S. Grant.
Resolced, That this meeting is not called
for any political or party purpose. bun solely
to defeat the man who has, by his Order NJ
II, insuled the whole jewish race.
Resolued, That we exhort and admonisb
oar bre hren in this and all other cities anc
towns in the United Ssates, as they value re.
ligious liberty and their rights, to do all in
their power to defeat the said Ulysses S.
Grant.
