Arnit 19.—Joseph MeArdle ve. Joseph Naylor.—The de- fendant, Joseph Naylor, was arrested at the instance of the plaintiff, Joseph McArdle, some weeks since, for an alleged fraud in obtaining beef and meats and other sup- plies from the plaintiff, by means of false pretences, dur- ing the period commencing in May of last year, and end- ing the 17th of January this year, ameunting to some four thousand dollars; and it was {urther alleged that the same was turnished vo the defendant, who was during that period of time the proprietor of the Irving House in this city It was shown by the affidavits produced on part of the plaintiff, who was represented by ils counsel— Messrs. Edmond ano Benj. J. Blaokman—that the plain- ‘tiff was induced to furnish these suppiies to the defendant on his (the defendant) represenung to the plaintiff that he (the defendent) owned the Irvicg House and the furniture contaimed therein, and that he hed paid sixty thousand dollars therefor,and that he owned this pro- perty clear aud free of all incumbrances; that some ime atter he (Naylor) had procured the plaintiff to furnish these supplies, ‘and dumng the month of October ins! the cefer dant induced the plaintiff to recelre in ea! or these supplies notes and checks drawn by A. W. Gal- ner, whom he represented as hie (Neylor’s) business man; that in consequence of a copartnerahip existing be- tween himself and his brother—Peter Nayior—whereby he (Jorerh Naylor) was prevented from giving any notes or obligations for supplies furnished to the livieg House un- der @ forfeiture of ten thousand dollars; bat taal any notes or obligations which Gallser would give, he (Nayiar) would alone be responsible for the payment thereot; that by reason of these representati»ne made by the de- fendant, he (the plaintiff) consented to receive these notes drawn by Gallaer, On the part of the defendsat, Joseph Naylor, it was contended that the defendant \ d transferred ali his interest in the Irving ‘id A. W. Gallaer on the Let day of October ¢ (Gallaer) was slone responsible for sup- plies furnisheé to the Irving House. And in aniwer to this detence it wae shown by thi idavits of William H. Burroughs that the alleged transfer from Naylor to Gal- laer was gotten up by Naylor for the purpose of #adi)ing on Gallaer the debts of the defendant (Naylo:) for aup- plies furnished to the Irving House. These proceedings are now before the Court on mo- tion on the part of the defendant to vacate the order of arrest. The matter was argued at considerable length by Mr, Fdmond Blarkman, counsel for the plaindff, and Mr, Farsons on the part of the defendant. Desision re- served. Elizateth J. French by her next friend, d., v3. Joseph Naylor, late proprietor of the Irving Hyuse.—Tho plain- tiff claims that the de‘endant, ia October last, bor- rowed from her $1,000, in money, for which he gave bis check, dated the 16th day of October, 1855) and when she called on him for payment the defendant put off the payment from time to time, aud at last the lain \iff’s agent told the defendant tbat unless hs paid rs. French he would sue him; to which the detendant rephed taat if Mrs, Fresch dared to sue him, he would make an assignment of all his property, and she Id not have a dollar of it, On the part of the defendant, it was contended that the check had not been regularly pre- sented to the bank for psyment, and that Bur- roughs was tne real owper thereof, and that he (Bur- roughs) was largely indebted to him for furniture, all of which the plaintiff denied, and showed by affidavit that the check and cisim thérecn belonged to her, and was her seperate property, and that she had loaned the de‘endant ten one huncred dollar biils in bavkable money; that she bad loaned the $1,000 to the defendant without charg- ing him any interest, and that the defendant had, bef re and after the commencement of this action, offered tothe agent of the plein Arete of carriage horses and rail- road stock which was worthlesa, In payment for the chesk and claim of the plaintiff. Tnese were proceedings to show why the order of arrest ehould not be se! aside and vacated, &3. Decision reserved. Before Hon. Jadge Daly. ALLEGED LIBEL ON A LADY. Apri. 21.—Jos. Linford, and Martha Linford, his Wife, vs. Peter Coxper ana James Boorman.—This was an action for @ libel on the Indy, who was a direstress of the Ohris- tian’s Home. It is alleged that the {bel was contained in 8 card ot the defencants, which reflected on the charac ter of the Jady. A motion was made, on the part of the plaintiffs, to postpone, in consequence of the er; at of counsel in another cause. Mr. L. B, Shepara opposed the motion, and the plaintiff not being ready, the case was dismissed. rolitical Intelligence. OLD BULLION ON THE NOMINATION. There 1a a story afloat, which, whether true or fict!- tious, 18 too good to be lost. It runs thas:—Colonel Fre mont, after writing his famous epistle to Robinson, the fs Governor of Kansas, proceeded to join his redoud- able fathea-in-law, Old Bullion, in Washiagtoncity. After the interchange cf saiutations, the very perceptible cloud which bac gathered on the brow of the veteran politician relieved itself in the following fiash of inaigaant intero- gation:— “Weil, ir, I perceive from the prints, sir—from the prints, sir—that you have been nominated for the I'resi- dency!” To which the Colonel meekly and biandly responded:— “Some too partial friends, sir, have taken that Ifberty with my name, no doubt on your account. thinking that my copnection with you would render me acseptaple to tke American people.” “Yea, sir,’ thundered Old Bullion; ‘no doubt ot it, rir; no doubt of i:. But when these es learn, sir, that I am opposed to the nomination, they will d-op you, sir, like a hot potato, sir—like a hot p , sir”? The spiritualiets have been haviag a “gathering” in reference to the Presidential election. Azcording to the Buflalo Republic, the convention asrembled ia the 1ifth sphere, and was composed of delegsea trom all parts of the Union, without respect to tormer “party asazcia- tions.” After organization and discussion tho boay pro- c0eded to baliot tor caudidstes for Preadent and Vice Presicent, and on the first ballot the unamimous result was as follows:— For President. Judge John W. Edmonds. For Vice President, Andrew Jackson Davis. A committee was then appoin:ei to prepare an address to the people of the United States, and after nine hearty cheers for the ticket, the convention adjourned sine dic. The South Carolina Southron gives as reasons why Br. Pierce cannot be renommated, that there are thousands of offices in the gitt of the President and millions of money to be disbursed by him. If he be re-elected he will pot likely tarn out the thousends of officers who have been serving under him, merely to give place to thousands of others who desire appointments, and the millions of mopey will ip all proonbility be expended amcng those who have hitherto been receiving it. Thove who want the offices and the money will be largely re- presented in the convention, and will exert # powerful influence upon ita action. ‘The New Hampehire State Counel! will hold its sen!- annual meeting at Plymouth on the 6th of May. Ex-Goy- ernor Colby, who seceded from the National Council at Philadelphia, is Presicent of the State Council. Tae action of the delegates will of course come up at the State Council for constueration, If their eourse should bs en: dorsed—of which there can be little doubt—delegates will be elected to the seceding convention, to be he New York May 13. ‘The Hartford Times says it is a fixed fact that the Hon.

It will be perceived, from the letter of our Wi that ac! of @ sensation duced at We Bounced that tag Og of ano cockt brandy swashers, and New kogland potations etrap! It is said that, at this New York Hotel meoting, strong greurd was talenin favor of the nomination of our friend, Mir. James Bachanen, asa candidate for the Pro jesoy, and that those wh> in it were guilty of “flat burglary.” Atrer the ag had i BeAr round, ad had become decided'y interesting, Colonel Joha W. Forney made an eloquent speech in favor of Mr. Bu- chanan, and was followed by Beverly Tucker and George Sanders. It was thus that a grand conspiracy in favor of the ¢lection of Mr. Buchanan was formed—the leading object of the conspirators being, at the same time. asso ciated ‘‘with a setued design to defeat the aspirations of General Franklin Pierce, preseat Chief tive of tke Union.» The plot, such as it was, was equalled in atrocity only by the Rye House conspiracy, in which Titus Oates figur- ed 80 conspicuously, and the Cato street conspiracy, fa which Thisuewood, the Islington butcher, and ings, the Shoreditch blackguard, and other associates, enacted par's which hold them up to all poster! When the redoubtaale conspirators, who are referred to by our Wasbingion correspondent, had got ali their man-trs) ranged and “‘aot,’? they invited our friends, Mr. Collector Redfield, wr. Surveyor John Cochrans, Mr. District Attorney Jebn McKeon and Mr. Mayor Wood, to participate in the terrific holocaust. Mr. Collector Red- field Ceclined accepting the proffered honor; Mr. Coch- e was “out of town” when the messenger rang the eet door bell,’ and Mr. District Attorney John McKeon, who was pondering over “the Eudora case,” re- ries He ea summons by holding up both his hands and ejaculating, “What blocdy deed hath Roscius now to act?!” And Mr. McKeon, the best and the ablest, and most con- spicuous of all our lawyers—first among those who are ready ‘‘to de and to cie,’” in any cause waich {s sonnect- edwith the ‘snap dragging and non-toglus’’ system of “catching a nigger’ on the ‘Canal street’ aud fugitive slave law “piana”’—added, “1 don’t think I ougat to come in!” Neither Mr, Collector Redfield, Mr. Surveyor Cochrane, Mr. District Attorney John McKeon, Mr. Marshal Huiyer rho, by the way, happened to be engaged in watching the nigger WAson, who was’ charged, first with murder, then with petit larceny, afterwards with mutiny, and now with flat burgiary and mutioy combined—‘‘were thar.’? Mr. Conrad Swackhammer was invited to step in; but, as he bad a smail cask of butter to deal out at retail to the “poor of the church,” and a contract with the coal- heavers of Brocklyn to sign, he could not come ia. In consequence of all this absentesism—it ought to be recollected that Mr. Conrard Swackhammer, Navy Agent, is not very apt to expose himself for the good of any ad- ministration that is about expiring—the great Buchanan conspiracy, at the Now Yorx Hotel, did not amount to any great shakes, The only persons present wore Mr. Postmaster Fowler, Mr. Daniel F. Delavan, and Mr. Joan . Forney. ‘The recoubtable George Sanders was eloquent, after he had swallewed his aupper; and Beverly Tacker “opexed rich’’ efter he had been tossted as the friend of ‘‘ Bod Hunter’ the Honorable Kobert M. T. Hunter, a Sena- tor from Virginia, whose father’s fences, according tothe late Tom Ritchie, jcined those of John Taylor, of Caro- line; and when George Sanders rose to ‘open the ball,”? and let the world know something, there was an absoiute | tornado, We co not think that any great private or public good cr harm will grow out of the action of the grani conven- ‘ton cf the democracy that was held at the New York Hotel on theevenirg of last Friday fortnight; and, if our Warhingtcn coorespondent will pardon us, ‘as we know he will, we will inform him—wsat he ought long since to have knowr—tbat the Hon. Isaac V. Fowler, Postmaster of this city, iz incapable of treachery, duplicity or want of ony © hin friends and associates. Mr. Fowler, whem we have known, bu’ alightly asa parcices, many years, but with whom we have had some jittle intercourse in the way of buiiness, the last one or two years, is, we undertake to assert, as incapable of an sot of insincerity, politisaly or otherwise, as he is of bighwey robbery or murder. He is a resident of tae New York Hotel, in whish: Gsorge Sanders and Baverly Tucker hang up their bats when they aro in this city. It so happened, the other day, onthe occasion relerred Mr. Fow'er, whilst taking his soup at his private Jearved that George Sanders avd Baveriy Tucke: and Colonel Jobn W. Forney were within the establishment, remerkably d:y, ad very abarp-set into the bargain. As he realized what St. Paul, or some other of the bleased Apcaties, realized, when he spoke of his ‘ bowels of compassion,” ke sent down to the bar, ani ordered sun- dry ‘creature comforts,’ in the shape of red herrings, codfish and pota*oes, crackers and cheese, and good old Orange county cider, and invited Colonel Forney—not Colcnel Pluck, be 1 Sanders and Beverly Tucker to walk in and is banquet—a Yanquet etrictly consistent with the democratic princi- pies of Tammany Hall and the Pewter Mug. The invitation thus proffered was most cordially and graciously accepted. In the course of the banquet some- thing was aaid about the Presidency; anda member of tbe vemocracy of the Stuyvesant institute stripe, who listened at the keyhole, thought he heard Mr. Daniei E. Delsvaa, with bis sap fall oF codfish and potatoes, ar. Uculate’ something not exc stinguishable, ‘bat which sounded lice Bucbanaa ! : York Hotel conrpiracy, in which the Hon.

Forney, Titus Oates. ‘After this expianation i received at Wasbington, we hope that the American Congress and the Cabine* wii! breathe easier, feel easier, and go to bed early, after having partaken of sundry cups of ‘sack.’ (From the Atlas } THE ADTIPIERCE ENTERTAINMENT AT THE NEW YORK HOTEL. Our exposé of the private political festival at the New York Hotel, on Fricay week, created a terrible comm- tion in the ranks of the spoils seeking politiciars of this city; and some of the Pierce office holders who were in attencance—and who listenei with evident approval to the bitterly sarcastic onsisught of Bevesly Tacker upon President Perce, have bad. the effrortery to deny that any such ovation waa held. The Evening Mirror very rudely pronounced our accoant bogus, and voluntesred to arsert that there were 0 political speeches made on the ceeation; and that all that aid transpire, was at the of the hotel, where a number of iticians were sojourning, in the presence of the ladies doerding in the house. Now, besi¢es the speeches of Tucker, eet and Sanders, we hava the report of a speech made bys Detroit editor at the supper, which we think no gentlemen of taste would mate, in the presence of the refined Jacies cf the New York Hotel. The orator lixened the President of the United States and his measures, to the Frenehman’s female pat rot, where eggs he sold at a high price to his neighbors, who were coger to poseegs birds of a like deccription, by setting them under their bens. To one he solda crow’s epg, to another a pigeon’s, to ano:her a duck’s, to encther @ buzzard’s, and soon. At length, by natu: ral process, they produced chicks of various breeda, but no perrot; when ail who had purcbased them, in expectation of obtainirg a parrot, came firwardto de- popnee the Frenchman ag a cheat. Esch victim stated the kird of bird that hed been hatched from the eg be bad bought, but the Frenchman insisted that the eggs bad all been laid by bis parrot, and the only way he could account for the variety of feathered bipeds obtained from them was, by bia * pretty Poll’? with pro- migcuous intercourse with the males of ali the feathered rribe—she was one dem old fille de joie! And no, said thia table orator, at thia dinner where the Mirror nays the ladies of the New York Hotel were present, it is with Fravk Pierce; he is one pclitical wanton, laying all sorts of eggs, #0 that his friends cannot ealeu!ate with any de- gree of certainty what kind of birds will be hatshed from them. We thought we had a genuine parrot’s egg when he was elected au the champion of democratic principles, but he has hatched out a brood of birds of various breeds, apd amcng them ceveral buzzarda ! We understend that our fiiends present who hold po- sitions undsr the feceral government, axd who profess to be advocates of the President, feel greatly aggrieved at being suspected of a disposition to desert the tortanes of General Pierce, in advance of the crowd of office holding deroerats who are preparing to leap on board the ateam- er Jomes Buchanan the moment the pell rings. If President Pierce supposes that among all the army of federal office holders in this city there are twenty who begs bes irom Aird #maliest korg bella} nominated at Cincinnati, &« egregiously humbugged as Captain Jobn Tyler was in 1844, when he was induced ravers that the city of New York was vnapimously in favor of hie election. President Pierce har no friencs among the egies of New Ycrk who desire to see him re-elected, and is office holders, who heartlesaly, protess to be in favor of his re-nomieation, know it. ry do \hey fear to tell him the truth in regardeto bis univereal unpopularity’ The hearts of the democratic masses are unanimous in thia eliy for James Buchenan ; and no other candi. date that has been named could raise « dozen voices in bia favor outside of the offica holding and office seek. ing tribes, who are ready to vell themselves to anyboty who will provide for them # comfortable place at the pubiie crib. James Buchanan, beyond all doubt, can poll ten thou- rand more votss for Presisent, ia this city, and firty thou sand more in the State, than any man that belongs to th: democratic party. He can easily carry the electoral vote cf New York, and that ia more thsa can be honestly cated fer apy other aspirant for tho nomination at Cin- cinpati. The democracy of the State of New York, aside from the party tricksters, ace as firmly and as enthusiastical- ly tn favor of Mr. Buehanan as the people of Pennaytvanis acd New Jersey.

Banxxn, Faq., Pamupent or mz Boarp oF ALDERMEN: — observe that my name has been introduced in terms of implied censure into the report of P. P. Voorhis, on the subject of an up town Post Office, for my activity in Promoting the establishment of such an office, on account of my being the owner of several houses near the place Proposed for its location. This dooument evidently emanated from the City Postmaster, through his new pe- Iitios! a!ly and mouthpiece. However legiumave and proper it may be for any citizen to sell or lease hia pro- ry tothe general government, I will obsacve that I none to dis: of in either of those ways. The question of an up town Post Office is i epay herent from any [saver ipe) Propositions, and rests estirely upon the ements of the pubic convenience; and in that view been urged in the mmority report pre- gented by Alderman V1 some weeks since. No im- ovementio the value of real estate could take place rom the establishment of a Post Office ang where, unless such an office were required. The success of any pro- pored speculations on the part of Jandowcers up town, more or leas remote from the junction of the Sixth a nue and Broadway, from the establishment of aa up town Post cffice is crrine the measure of the public necessi- ty fer such an office. It would seem to be fairly inferable trom the Postmester’s observations that his theory of that no sl derive any advantage from them. far this theory has beem carried into practice, I leave the ublic of New York to judge. That an up town Post Iffice would be a benefit to all the prcorett to every fa- mily in the upper wards, is undoubtedly true. And this tact ia imterentially urged es a lea ling reason by Mr. Fowler why such an office should not ve established. Bat in fact Mr. Fowler hag no more reason to interfere with the efforis whioh the up town population have made to obtain a new office, than the man in the moon. His offi- cial duties abould be properly confised to hisown. Waoen it pleases the people to call for the establistmient of a new office, it ix the duty of the Post Office Department to examine tre circumstances, and to establish a new office, whenever required, beyond the usual limita, if it can be made to pay its own expenses. The distance from any existing office beyond which itis@ rule of the depart- ment to establish @ new office whepever it is required by any considerable number of citizens, is three miles. With- in that distance new offices are not usually established. Hence the petitioners for an up towa Post ice fixed on the Junction of Sixth avenue and Broadway as the most central point just bapa, the required limits. For everal years the aubjec: of an up town Post Ufiice had been discussed in private circled, and its importance became more and more ap; tas the population ex- tended up the island. In the winter of 1865 the subject was brought to tbe notice of the Department by petitions numerously signed by the moss respectable inhabitants of the upper part of the city. I happened to be in Wash- irgtcn at the time, and had several interviews with the ‘Assistant Postmaster General on the subject. Mr. King, whore superior intelligence, together with his long and faithful sarvices, have raised him to his present post, gave 1t his careful atiention, and acknowledged that the convenience of the inbabitants of the upper wards of the city required a new office. ‘a be aaa Gr clstostise nace waa comanal en- racing. length Mr. King suggested Up Town a3 the mest appropriate. While sitting at his deak, with his pen in bis hand ready to sign tbe requisite papers, he obeerved that the case stemed so clear that it did not re- quire to be even submitted to the l’ostmaster General. Just at that moment Mr. Fowler, the City Postmaster, appeared at the door of Mr. King’s office. ‘Ah!”’ sai Mr. King, ‘there is Mr. Fowler; let us hear what he has to eay upon the eubject.”” Mr. Fowler, after the exchange of ealutations, seemed somewhat surprised at the projec and stated, as his only objection, that it would seziousl; interfere with his distribution. . King then observe to we that the decision of the case woulda be deferred to Judge Campbell, aud taken up at some future ime. Since that period additional petitions have been sigoed by great numbers of our up town population, without istinction of party or of class. I have taken some pains to adcertain the approximate number of individual sign- ers, and m to amount to between two and three thousand. Most of these tions concar in re- ccromending the vicinity of the junction of Sixth avenue and Broadway as the mest central and appropriate loca- tion. The members of the last and present Congress from this city have generally lent toeir efforts in favor of ite establishment. Allies peer sat Onpelnee he oe city, for the last year, signed a peti- foot,’ To ‘nese, should’ be" added the gistrate of the city, ther with the unanimous vote of both branches of the city govern- ment in ite favor. This presents a total of numbers and of influence which {t is presumed has never before failed to carry through any similar applicati m. Tappeal tothe Postmaster General to give the names and the number ot the petitioners for this up town Post Office. ‘The only opposition whict this measure has encountered until quite recently, has been on the part of the City Postmaster, as suggested by him in the conversation above referred to with Mr. King, the Assistant Postmaster Ge- neral, that it would interferfere with his distribution of letters. Mr. Fowler acknowledges that the daily number of letters distributed from his office, by carriers, is ten thousand and sixty-three, which, af two cents apiece, amounts to about seventy-five thousand dollars per an- num. Ths pubiic has never yet been favored with an authentic statement of the precise manner in whica these large receipts have been disposed of. It is said the carriers are paid out of it—but whether or not same por- tion of the residue remains in the hands of the City Post- master, it would be gratifying to the public to be in formed. Perhaps the estabiishment of an up-town Post Office would seriously interfere with the benefits of the Pos'master’a distribution. Is it possible that this most dogged opposition to s useful meseure is found in the avails of this distribution of letters? I presume not; ands clear expesition of ths sut§.ct, with vouchers of receipts and payments, would doubtiess, tend to place all parties as far above suspicion as their best friends could wish. There 1s something mysterious io the patriotic tevacity with which Mr. Fowler insists in discharging more onerous duties at the office in Cedar street than pro- perly attach toa salary of $4,500 per annum. He persists in makivg s martyr of himself without benefit to If, merely to defeat the wishes of a large portion of his fel- low-citivens. This is a specimen of peculiar disinterest- edness. But to return to the Post Office. The main fast remains uncontrovertible that the corvenience of two hundred and fifty thourand people requires the establish- ment of an up town Peat Office. All letters for the up town population could be deliver- ed from such an office, properly administered, in the course of three hours after the arrival of every mail in the city. These le:ters sre now delivered in the course of frem rixteen to twenty-four hours a'ter their arrival. Besides, an evening and Sunday box deiivery might be — which woulda be # great convenience to thousands of persons. jut the upper wards must continue to be deprived of that immense advantege because the proposed Cyd would interfere with Mr. Fowler's receipts for the tributioa of letters, of which a little more than one-half, ft is eaid, goes to pay the carriers, leaving some thirt thousand collars, more or teas, in the hands o1 the Post- rd to be disposed of in some way unknown to the public. This Jarge balance of receipts for the distribution of letters is Lake og most potential obstacle to an uP town office, and that object will not likely be attan until this Jarge sum is accounted for in some legal and pablte manoer, or until Mr. Fowier be, in some provi- ntial mapner. removed fiom bis present position. With regard to the four prepping stations, where letters are to be mutually exchanged all around among irresponsible carriers, under the direction of an trresponsible clerk, as gamblers take a new shuffle and deal at cards, they will be found entirely unworthy of public confidence. It it is found #0 difficult to keep thieves out of the Post Office, what nip Pi feel honad in Ares rae swapping establishments, e supervision of an honest and vigilant Pontmastet ? e Tfor one shail continue my activity to improve the postal arrangements of the city, even it by doing sol should disturb the equanimity of Ju¢ge Campbell and his depury. No officer of the government, however hi shouki be suffered to be derelict in the discharge of official duty with impunity. It is evident that no improvements can be expected from either of these gentiemen but such as are excorted by persevering and just criticism. As your Board have placed on \ta resords an implied reproach on me for my ectivity in @ public cause, I trust it will admit to the same honor these hastily written odeervations in reply. Mort respectfully yours, NATHANIEL NILES. Obituary. Mr. Saux B. MANNING, says the Boston Traveller of the 11th inst., a well known printer, diei in Boston on Wednesday morning last, aged 60. Ho was the eldest son of the late Wilham Manning, and was maoy pears ago counroted with his father in the publication of the Wor- cester Spy. Afverwards he established himself in Boston, im connection with other ‘ies, as @ book and job printer, but latterly, urder pressure of adverse cir- cumstancer, he has oceupied the no less honorable bat humbler situations of evropovitor and proof reader in the cffisea In Boston and Cambridge, During the last war with England, while quite a boy, he was drafted with others for the detence of Boston harbor, then supposed to bein constant danger of an attack from the British fleet, He used to recount, with a good deal of pleasure, the inci¢enta of his few weeks’ campaign, which was not distinguiabed by any bard fought battle, but by many faire alarms ard (udtcrous adventures, Major Rouanr B. Hanséy, a brother of General Harney, United States Army, died at his residence in Elkton, Tennesnes, on the ultimo, of a paralytic attack. He bad in early life a family love for the din and strife of ‘hore wars that make ambition virtue, being an officer in the regiment of regulars which gained a brilliant victory under General Ja: mm at the bloody battle of the Horse Shoe, where the great chief, Red Fagle, sustained such a crushiog defeat. General Sam Houston was in the same engagement, and both these officers bore upon their per- ronn evidence of the fury of the fight. Subsequently Mejor Li retired to private life, and in all his rela- ona secured the confidence of those who knew him and appreciated bis aterling qualities. ‘pe Carlisle (Pean.)
