his suffering. He had been quite
feeble for several days. Indeed, SO

to bed, but his illness was not so
great as to cause any anticipation Of
the catastrophe that was to follow.
On Friday night they retired to bed
as usual, but during the night Chang

about 1 o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing. AS soon as 1t was discovered
he was dead, ling became soterTibly

GUSHING TO DAVIS.

which cost him the loss of the Chief
Justiceship.
WASHINGTON. March 20, 1861.
"DEAR Sm-NTr. Archibald Row
an, fer the last six or seven years a
clerk in the Attorney Generals
Office desires from me a letter of
introduction to you, and he desires
it not in view Of anticipating adj
ministrative favors, but that he may
have the honor of your personal in
tercourse. OF this | take pleasure
in assuring you he is eminently
worthy. A Southern man by birth,
family, and affection, he has care
fully studied and ably discussed in
Mr.. DeBow's Review and other
Southern works, the lamentable
events which have gradually been
undermining andhave at length over
thrown the American Union.
While practical man, he is al
so ripe and accomplished scholar,
wit, indeed, predominant literary
tastes and habits. In the discharge
Of his official duties he has combin-
ed in a singular degree the purest
integrity and the most enlightened
intelligence, with modest content
ment in his lot, having more than
once declined offices Of more con-
spicious employment in the public
service. He now resigns his pres
ent Office from sentiments to that
which alone he can. feel to be his
country, namely, the Confederate
States, from one of which CTexas)
was appointed. / most heartily
commend him as a gentleman and a
man to your confidence and esteem
and am, with highest consideration,
Your obedient servant,
&c. CUSHING.

A correspondent of the Jackson

got his title Of Old Hickory. He
says he got the story from Capt.
William Allen. a near nelghbor of
the General, and who messed with
him during the Creek war. During
the campaign the soldiers were NOV

and were without tents. A cold
March rain came on, mingled with
sleet, which lasted for several days.
Gen. jackson got a severe cold, but
did not complain as he tried to
sleep in a muddy bottom among his
half-frozen soldiers. Capt. Allen
and his brother John cut down a
stout hickory tree. peeled off the
bark. and made covering for the
General, who was with difficulty
persuaded to crawl into it. The
next morning a drunlxen-citizen en-
tered the camp. and seeing the tent
kicked it over. As jackson crawled
from the ruins, the topper cried @IIel-

bark. and jine us In drink.

Some Account Of the Gentleman.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-The Presi-
dent, to-day, sent to the Senate, the
nomination of NJ. r. Waite, Of
Ohio, as Chief Justice. .~
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-The nomi-
nation of M. r. Waite, of Ohio to
be Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, was a surprise to Senators
and all others about the Capitol, in
cluding the Justices of the Court.
But it did not occasion the same
degree of wonder as when Caleb
Cushing's name was transmitted for
the same Office. Subsequently the
Senate, in executive session, referred
the nomination to the Committee
on the Judiciary who will probably,
tomorrow, report fayorably upon it.
Many inquiries were made as to the
standing of this gentleman, he not
having a national reputation, but
being best known in the State of
which he is q citizen. The nomfna-
tion recalled the fact that he acted
bS OnC VI JUG COut1SCI tlO bt1C 0GIShd
Tribunal of Arbitration, and some
of the Senators were acquainted
with him as an able lawyer of thirty.
years standing in Ohio. Although
a Republican, he is not an active
partisan, and at the present time
is President of the Ohio Constitu-
tional Convention. 1t was discov-
cred on looking at the Supreme
Court record that a year ago to-
morrow, Mr.. Waite was, on motion
of Caleb Cushing. admitted to the
bar Of Of that court as an attorney.
Contrary to report, Mr. Waite never
held judgeship in Ohio. Senators
of both parties speak well Of the
nomination and there seems to be
no doubt of the confirmation.

OBSERVER.
A short session Predicted.
From the New York Tribune.

Yours

From the New York Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Old mem
bers of the House begin to predict
a short session. The ground for
this prediction is the fact that there
is no sulplus in the Treasury to be
legislated away. At best, four-fifths
of all the bills introduced look to the
expenditure of public money, directly
or indirectly; but as there is no
money to spend beyond what is ab-
solutely necessary to meet the re-
quirements Of the regular appropria-
ton bills, it follows that all this
mass of legislative propositions will
have to 90 over until next sess on
without defuite action. The folly
of spending time upon measures
which cannot be passed, however
meritorious they may be. for want
Of money to pay the demands they
may make upon the Treasury, begins
to be apparent. Beside the empty
Treasury. there is another circum-
stance that will help to shorten the
session. All the members of the
House will have to go before their
constituents for reelection next fall,
and all are therefore interested in
making as economical a showing as
possible of the results of the sessions 5
work.

The Neeo York San puts it tersely
after this fashion: IF the Repub-
lican Senators imagine that any
tinkering of the infamous salary law
will satisfy the country which leaves
the Presidents pay fixed permanent
ly at fifty thousand dollars a year,
they will soon have an opportunity
to unlearn that delusion. 1t would
be we'll fer the Republican party to
free themselves from it before next
falls elections" Republican Jour
nails everywhere have been in
sisting that the people demanded
the unconditional repeal Of the act
increasing salaries, But the two
thirds Republican majority in each
house of Congress have responded
only partially to this demand, leav-
ing the chief salary grabber in pos;

The spirit that animates the car
petbaggers in the South is beginning
to tell in the West, where the same
class of politicians have had full
sway. Thus we have the following !:

honesty. The State Auditors re
port, published recently, shows that
