EDWIN" GLOVER. January 15, 1848. 465-tf From Neal's Saturday Gazttte. GENERAL TWIGGS. Brigadier General Twiggs, the hero of Cerro Gordo, is the fifth son of Gen. John Twiggs, of revolutionary memory, whose service, in that stormy era, in behalf of his native State, won him the name of the 44 Saviourof Georgia." The subject of our memoir was born in Richmond county, Ga., in 1790. He finished his collegiate course in Franklin College, at Athens ; and sub sequently studied law in Augusta, with the late Thomas Flournoy. His mind, howev er, met more ofa military than alegal turn, and hence, when the war of 181 broke out, he solicited a commission, and, being appointed Captain in the Third Infantry, has served from that lime to this in the Army ot his country. During the war, "he was retained on the southeastern frontier, where no opportuni ty was afforded for signal distinction. He fulfilled his duties, however, in so exem plary a manner, that, on the declaration of peace, he was not only retained in the service, but brevetted a Major. In 1817, when Gen Gaines commanded on the Flo rida border, a body of Indians, at a place called Foultown, refused to emigrate, as they had stipulated they vouId,and accord ingly Major Twiggs was sent against them with 450 men. On the inarch, the Indians assailed his command. But, after a des parate fight, Twiggs came off victorious, killing and wounding a large number of the savages. He then pursued his route to Foultown, which he found deserted. Af ter destoying the place, he returned .to headquarters, where his gallantry was warmly commended by Gen Gaines. Soon after, Gen. Jackson superseded Gaines ; and on the 7th of March, 1818, under his orders, Twiggs captured St. Marks, the first town taken from Spain in the contest. At the trial of Arbuthnot and Ambrister, English subjects, who were executed for abetting the Indians, Twiggs was pres ent, and approved of the decision of the commander-in-chief. Many years elapsed, during which, the United States being at peace, no opportuni ty fordistinction presented itself to Twiggs. But in the Black-Hawk campaign, having in the meantime risen to the rank of Lieut. Colonel, he served with great credit. Soon after, tm thebreakina: out. of the Seminole war, he found Imnsetf again under Gaines, and was present as second in ' command at the fight of Withlacoochie. On the 8th of June, 1836, he was appointed" to the com mand of the Second Regiment of Dragoons, having heretofore served altogether in the Infantry. Soon after, Col Twiggs was re lieved, by Col Worth, his junior, and for a long time, owing to family afflictions, re mained on furlough. When Gen Taylor was ordered o Cor pus Christi, Col Twiggs, at the head of two squadrons of dragoons, was detached to join him. Here a difficulty occurred between him and Worth, which led to the latter's resignation. Though Worth was a Brigadier General by brevet, his rank in the line was only that of a colonel, and here he was the junior of Tw iggs, the commis sions of the two dating as follows: Col Twiggs June 8, 1856 ; Col Worth, July 7, 1836. - Worth claimed to command in Taylor's absence ; but to this Twiggs would not consent. Worth, on his part, asserted that Taylor commanded in virtue of his brevet as Brigadier General ; Twiggs de nied this, and asserted that Taylor com manded because he was the oldest Colonel. Taylor decided in favor of Twiggs, and on this Worth resigned his commission.. The question, it must be admitted, was a doubt ful one, and, Scott, under similar circum stances, had done exactly as Worth did ; yet it is to beregretted that the latter did not waive his claim, since his departure from the army deprived him of sharing in the glory of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma. It is well known that, on hearing of these battles; Worth withdrew his res ignation and hurried to the camp. Col Twiggs commanded the right wing of the army at Palo Alto. Though a Col onel of Cavalry, he is unable to ride on horsebaek, iu consequeuce of physical ina bility ; and accordingly on that day he drove about the field in a little open wagon. At both Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, Twiggs behaved with that indomitable bravery which is his characteristic and which has originated the remark that he would as soon fight as eat." Gen Taylor, in his despatches, compliments Twiggs highly. On the fall of Matamoras, Twiggs was appointed Governor of that place. Congress having authorized the selection of two new Brigadiers, he was shortly af ter appointed to one of the commissions. At Monterey, Gen Twiggs had a division on the eastern side of the town, and it was under him that the most terrible fighting that of the first day occurred. On the third day he dashed" into the town drove the enemy along the streets, and was ra pidly approaching Worth, advancing from the other side, when the capitulation took place. He was appointed Governor of the town, where, as at Matamoros, his strict discipline, combined with impartial justice, maintained order. Here he remained until summoned with his veteran troops to join Scott, who was about to begin the siege of Vera Cruz. Th; amurpntlv lmnresnable citr sur- A aa ( I V I O J renrlererl : and now becan that famous march to Mexico, which has had no parall el since the davs of Cortes. On the 17th of nril the armv arrived at the pass of Cerro Gordo, which was held by Santa Anna at the head of twenty thousand men. The chief work of that bloody day fell upju General Twiggs. He had been ordered to the enemy's left, and occupying the National Road in Santa Anna's rear, cut off all retreat. This duty he performed in the most splendid manner. During the advance of Twiggs on this occasion, he de tached a part of his division to carry the height crowned with a tower, forming the key to the enemy's position, and which, if taken, would prevent the enemy's flight in every direction. That brigade," says Gen Scott, in his despatches, ascended the long and difficult slope of Corro Gordo without shelter, and under a tremendous fire of artillery and musketry, with the utmost steadiness, reached the breast works, drove the enemy from them, plant ed the colors of the 1st Artillery, 3d and 7th Infantry the enemy's flag still flying and after some minutes of sharp firing, finished the conflict with the bayonet.' Twiggs, after the conflict was over, pursu ed tlie Mexicans towards Jalapa. At the battle of Contreras, Twiggs was accidentally not present, though the victo ry was won by the troops of his division, under Gen Persifor F Smith. At Churu busco, Twiggs, however, was in the hottest part of the field, thundering at the hacienda, while Worth assailed the tele du pont. At Molino del Rey his division was not iu ac tion. When Scott determined to assault Churubusco, however, he sent for the veter an divisions of Twiggs and Worth, and from them selected the storming party. In the great battle of the city of Mexico, to Twiggs was entrustetl the delicate task of making a false attack on one side of the town, while Worth and Quitman assaulted it seriously on another. Gen. Twigg is about six feet high, and stout in proportion. He has a fine soldier ly look, as his portrait shows. He is a strict disciplinarian, but affable, neverthe less. Perhaps no man in the army, after Taylor, is more generally popular. Laudable Humanity. In accordance with the philanthropic spirit of the age, we learn that orders have been given to sup ply our army in Mexico with extra rations of chloroform, for the purpose of permitting tlie Mexicans, in future battles, to inhale it before being cut to pieces. A large quan tity is also to be administered to the Mexi can government (whenever it can be found,J previous to singing the treaty ceding the whole country to the United States. In this manner the government will feel no pain at the operation, while the Mexican people we are certain, will be delighted. John Donkey. A New Discovkiiy. We have forgot ten to notice the fact, that our townsman, Mr John Hutchinson, has recently invent ed an article designed as a preservative, water-proof and restorative preparation lor leather. litis article is highly spoken of by those who have tried it, and we ob serve a favorable notice ot it in the Scien tific American. Those who wish to use it, and yet delay on account of the many spurious articles of this kind which are peddled through the country, may rest as sured that the character of the inventor removes all doubt where he is known, as to the character of the article. He has fully tested it, before he offered it to the public. Having ourselves used it upon harness, shoes, &c, we judge from its ef-, ject, that it will prove a highly valuable article lor the purpose lor which it is de signed. Newbernian.

Says Hal to Jack Let's be as one, and form a coalition, To blind the people and to send the coun try to perdition. the scheme, I, a flag. and treat Tom Benton said I like for we are party- leaders. The Devil and Clay, Calhoun and nest of humbug breeders. We'll set our power combined at work, our enemies to level." Agreed!" says Clay; "Yes!" says Cal houn; and Ditto!" says the Devil. But while these mighty four at work, con cocted plans so sidy, To crush the honor of our our soldiers vilely. A noise came sounding o'er the land, that wakened up their wonder; The people rising iu their might, a noise outsounding thunder. But not a moment stood the four, to meet the fate they'd courted. Among the missing rather they than dead men be reported Calhoun slid down within his boots ; Tom Benton frowned his eyes out ; The two old Harries sloped below, there had their surprise out. Oh, ne'er these four again shall come, all people to astonish, Their fate a serious warning stands all sin ners to admonish. And none with sense will strive to thwart the present generation, Whose very women aroused for arms and annexation. From the lluscoee Democrat, 3rd inst. A w f v l Tkagfuy. On Saturday night last two negro traders from Person County, N. C, of the names of Thomas P. Trotter and Richard Bolton were murdered in Randolph County, Ga., near Harrison's Store, by two of'their own negroes! ''"he particulars, as communicated to us by Mr J- T. Palmer of Sumpkin, through tlie hands of Mr Thornton of the same place, are as follows : The murdered men had encamped f,)r the night, a few miles to the westward ol'Cuthber!, bet ween that place and Euluula, Ala., having with them the three negroes. -2 men and 1 boy. While lying together on a mattress, asleep, the negro men took position, one on each side of their victims, and at a given signal, cut their throats w ith a razor. Trotter was not so fatally cut as was Bolton, and was able to jump up. when he was despatched with an -axe! The bodies were then carri ed off a mile distant and thrown from a bridge into a creek, when the murderers proceeded to secure the money aud burn the notes and papers ot" the deceased, anil having set on li'e the bloody mattress, put out with the carryall and horses in the direction of Marion County taking the boy with them. The discovery of the murder was made tin Sunday morning from the fire having communicated to the woods, at the scene of tragedy, which drew the attention of the neighbors to the spot, when, after a short search, the mangled bodies of the murdered men were found, as before stated. Pursuit was immediately made, and the negroes were overtaken iu Marion County, ami brought to Lumpkin, where an examination was had aud these particu lars elicited from the confession of the ne groes! They were to be taken to Randolph county, to await the penalty for their aw ful ciime. ot the law Advancf.mf.nt ix Lkgislative Refine ment. The Philadelphia Ledger publish es a summary of the Pennsylvania Legis lature, by which it sagely appeareth, that that renowned bod v contains 44 farmers, 16 lawyers, 3 blacksmiths, aud admirable sprinkling of curriers, rope-makers, and tallow-chandlers, and, to complete the list, gentlemen!" We scarcely know how to credit this statement, but we should feel more at ease, could we but satisfv our selves that this extraordinary and flatter ing average would hold equally good of the present Congress. But hold ! may it not be possible, that the two honorable ' gen tleman," so invidiously distinguised, crept in by mistake? John Donkey.
