[7 SINGLE COPIES ONE CENT. VOL. X. HUMOR AND BLUNTNESS OF THE LATE GOVERNOR MARCY. (From the Cincinnati Enquirer} The late Governor Marcy was remarkable for acertain bluntness and directness of manner and speech, which were very annoying to for- nial and ostentatious people. His stern logie and intense hatred of all humbug, parade and circumlocution, and not ees, ill-na- ture or sourness prompted this peculiar mode of bringing ‘‘hifalutin’’ people down to the stand- ard of common sense and a matter of fact style of speech and conduct. Indeed, he was an ex- ceedingly amiable, good-natured man, with a great penchant for a good joke, and a sly bu- mor underlying all his social and even much of his political conversation. The old story, which has been so much ha: on by the newspapers and by Pa declaim- r. old Navy put to him that very irrelevant in- t % Referring to the Mexican war, we are re- minded of an incident in which the Governo was paid off in his own coin. After the battles in the valley of Mexico, before our army had entered the city, there was, for a long time, an interruption of all communications between the army and the (iovernment, the guerillas hold- ing possession of all the roads to the coast. The first person who came through after the battles was James L. Freaner, who had been sent to the scene of the war from the news-room of the New Orleans Delta as acorrespondent. He was the author of the celebrated Mustang letters, which embody by far the most accurate descrip- tions that have ever been published of this war. Freaner was intrusted with General Scott's despatches relative to the battles of Contreras. 2 Churubusco, Chepultepec, &c., and, indeed, all ers, in regard to the cha: . Marcy made ; F i against the State of New Cork, of fifty cents for icity operate poppin hig Ail patehing his pants, was not, as some have pre- tended. so much an illustration of the Gover- Dor’s strict and literal observance of law and stern honesty as it was of his humorous turn of mind, which could not forego so happy an op- — of caricaturing a foolish f : e ve heard of other incidents, illustrative of the same trait, which are quite amusing. though muth of the humor of the Governor's remarks is lost in the relation, as his quaint, solemn ex- pression, the invariable pinch of snuff with which he et his observations, and the sly expression of his sleepy-looking eyes, gave great effect to his humorous bits Thus the story told of his interview with the pous and excitable Count Sartiges, the French Min - ister. can never be appreciated exept by those who were familiar =k the Governor's manner. Tt was when Mr. Crampton’s expected dis sal. on account of his connivance in the viola- tion of our neutrality laws began to be dis- cussed. The representatives of the great Euro- pean powers at Washington were astounded at the cool audacity of such a proposition, and a meeting of the principal of them was immedi- ately held, the result of which was the designa- tion of Count Sartiges to proceed to Governor Marey and remonstrate against so rash and violent @ procedure; as calculatad to endanger the peace of the world and give serious offence to the great commercial power and her allics. Accordingly, the magnificent Frenchman pro- ceeded in state to his excellency the Secretary of State, who received him in his usual plain and good-natured way, asking him to take a ehair and a pinch of snuff in the same sentence The Frenchman took a seat. and proceeded in a mognificent exordium, prepared fur the occa- sion, to unfold the object of his visit. Ile began by showing the importance of preserving the peace of the world in the present condition of | afairs; the great commercial interest the United States had in the maintenance of the most friendly relations with the great Powers of Eu- rope. and then proceeded to show that the prin- cipal of thoze Powers were all now united in close alliance: that any nation which wronged or offended one of them incurred the hostility of ali: that if Great Britain conceived herseif nor Marcy's own hands immediately on his ar- Tival at Washington, without sleeping or stop- ping by the way. Freaner fastened the inclo- sure containing the despatches to his body, and proceeded on his perilous journey. Killing sey- eral horses on his way by hard riding, and pass- ing through innumerable perils, Freaner reach- ed the United States in safety, and hastened to Washington, which he reached about twelve o'clock at night. Dressed in the Mexican cab- allero style. with long beard and uncombed hair, not having changed his clothes since he left General Scott's camp, Freaner’s appear- ance was not calculated to leave a very favora- ble impression on the minds of civilians. In- deed, a more desperately. brigandish-lookin; character was never before cen at the peacefu seat of our government. It was not. therefore, without just cause that when he proceeded, at twelve o'clock at night, to the private mansion of Secretary Marcy and violently rang the bell, that the servant who opened the door drew back in alarm from so fearful a Fra Diavolo; and. to the inquiry whether Mr. Marey was in, replied that the “Governor had gone to bed and couldn't see anybody, and especially such as him.” “Get out of the way.” replied Preaner, shoving aside the frightened menial ; “show me the way to the Governor's hed-room or 1'll eut off both yourears.”’ The terrified servant pointed the direction, and Freaner stalked up stairs and knocked at the dodr of the Necretary’s cham- ber. Presently a hoarse and indignant voice was heard from within. ‘Who's that who dares to intrude on my slumbers in this way?” ~ James L. Freaner.’’ was the answer. “ Who in the devil are you?” was the next rather churlish query “I am bearer of dispatches from General ied the Governor. **come around in the morning and deliver your «is- patches in business hours, and don’t come here like a burglar to alarm my family.”’ “Can't do it. sir—orders imperative—Gen- eral Scott—not sleep—deliver in person” — were the words that reached the now almost furious Secretary through the key-hole. There was no alternative; he had evidently encoun- tered as strict « constructionist as himself. and could only be relieved of his presence by re- ceiving him in person. So he opened the door of his bed-room, and there beheld a specimen of hirsute humanity, whieh, at that hour of the night, and under the circumstances, might have alarmed a man of even greater experience in the trying scenes of war, than the hero of Rousse’s Point. The Governor drew hack in horror, while the savage intruder could not suppress a chuckle at the queer appearance of the venerable poli- tician, in his white night-cep and long shirt. This mutual surprise was soon interrupted. however, by the ‘“-brigand’s’’ disengaging some object from a very complex arrangement of his inner garments, and handing a darkened stained package to the Governor, who received it rather suspiciously. Our Fra Diavolo, with an abrupt “buenos noces,” then hurried down stairs, and. opening the door, proceedeg to his hotel before the servant. who had gone for a police officer to arrest the burglar, had returned. The next day the first official intelligence of great victories achieved by our gallant army in the valley of Mexico was given to the world. That intelligence was contained in the package which Governor Marcy had received in the mysterious and alarming manner we have described. —— +20]e- A GENUINE SURPRISE PARTY. _ The Cincinnati Gazette relates the follow- ing : One of our wealthy citizens, residing on Broadway, is known to have numerous ec- centrieities, the most familiar of which, from a recent event, is his antipathy to all assemblies, particularly in his own house. Several fair relatives. composing part of his household, had used all their eloquence to obtain his permission to a party, just one; but the old gentleman was obdurate. “Ie would take the girls to Europe, or Saratoga, or Newport, or Nebant, get them new sets of jewelry—anything but that. The young ladies almost despaired; but finally thought them of obtaining by stratagem what they could not procure by permission; for their hearts were fixed upon a party, and a party they must have. ‘The old gentleman was in the habit of retir- ing very early and sleeping very soundly, and girls determined to send out invitations without his knowledge; believing that one of the guests would arrive until the venerable relative was in the embrace of Somaus. Extensive preparations were the result; an effort was made to give one of the most recherche parties of the season. The beautiful and bril- liant, the gay and fashionable, the witty and elegant were ‘hidden to the feast.’’ They came. The luxurious drawing-rooms were splen- did with gas light and diamonds, loveliness and llantry. The air was rich with perfumes of ‘aris and flowers; and the most cultivated and melodious voices chatted and Lg ay ; and hundreds of fairy feet swept through the dance ; and the swell of music was upon the evening air; when of a sudden a dreadful apparition startled the ‘merrie companie’’ as if it had been the hideous Red Death of Poe ‘Te laugh and love-tone were hushed ; blood suffused the cheeks and nude necks of the ladies ; the dance stood still; the intruments for- | got their airs and diedinsudden silence. What was that horrid shape—the ladies pointed their white fingersand gazed wildly atthe door. Was it another ghost like that in “Don Giovanni ;”’ or was it a sheeted form from a gaping grave ” By degrees the vision gathered shape, and lookdd as a thingof earth. The figure was that of the “‘head of the family,’ with no superfluous clothing upon his limbs unless a single garment could be so considered, standing there, cane in unjustly dealt by. France, Austria, Sardinia and Spain would be bound to gi resenting or punishing such injustice to their great ally. Having thus, as he imagined, ex- rited the apprehension of our Secretary of State. uent Frenchman next touched upon the intention of our Government to dismiss the British Minister. He could net credit so alarming a proposition. He did not believe that so a and conservative a statc:- man as Mr. Marcy could be brought to acqui- esce in so rash a tritling with the peace of the world, and it was to be assured of the justice of these convietions that he nowealled on the hon- orable Secretary in this frank and sincere way. to communicate the views which were enter- tained by his imperial master on this topic, and which had the approval of the representatives of other European Powers. During this mag- nificent oration. Gov. Marcy sat in his usual posites, with bis head down, his face maintain- ng its heavy, unchanging expression, and his sleepy, gray eyes now and then stealing a Stealthy view of the eloquent and excited and excited Frenchman, as if measuring his fall proportions, intellectual and physical, and then relapsing into their favorite range «f observa- tion—the dingy old carpet of this most sncient of our public offices. Of course, the most elo- quent and telling of the Minister's sentences were honored and recognized by the inevitable pinch of snuff. At last Count Sartiges concluded his terrible barapgue, and with reddened face, perspiring brow, brightened eyes and quivering {Ps paused fora reply. What was the astonish- ment and disgust of this representative of im- perial greatness, to observe the American Sec- pase! fd State handing him that funny old Dutch horu snuff box, with an invitation to try the merits of the contents, fullowed by the in- quiry: * Well, Mr. Sartygis, (this was the nearest the Governor could ever approach to the rather dificult French pronunciation of this name,) how is Mrs. Sartygis and all the /:ct/e par gt _ If the bare idea of dismissing a British Min- ister could so astound the Frenchman. we may form some conception of his unbounded amaze- ment at this very irrelevant and ae response to so serious a communication. ie was, however, relieved on the next day by the very prompt, decisive and pointed answer to his impertinent protest, contained in official notification. that Mr. Crampton had received bis dismissal. Tbe contempt for parade, ostentation, pre- tense and bumbug, which was so strong a char- acteristic of Governor Marey, was happily dis- Played on 2 certain oecasion during the Me i can war, to the very great disgust of certain parties. After the battles of Palo Alto and esace de la Palma. the Governor of Louisiana gave permission to certain of his aids—ambi- tious young lawyers and politicians—to pro- ld e their aid in ceed to General Taylor's camp for the pur of congratulating him and surveying the of glorious victories. On their return these memorials of the battles, in the shape of va- rieus trophies; and one of them, Col. L—. who happened to be a candidate for United States District Attorney, hurried to Washing- ton city, where. in his undress uniform, he be- came quite a lion, on account of his familiarity with the scenes, events and character of those then reeent victories.
