He was in Congress, was a Major General in the Mexican war, greatly distinguishing himself. In 1847 the Congress voted iim a sword. When Gen. Scott was re called from Mexico he was left in command. He was nominated by the Democrats for the Vice Presidency on the Cass ticket. He was a mem ber of the Peace Congress in 1861. This was his last appearance in public life. He was highly esteemed, and was a pure and incorruptible patriot. Senator David Davis, of Illinois, has written a dignified and manly let ter in which he pronounces in favor of Gen. Hancock.

We avail ourselves of the Observer's account of the mighty deeds of "Kurnel" Jenkins, Radical candidate for Stato Troasurer, in the Kirk war. It says : As the Governor's aide, he was detailed to act as paymaster, and in that canacilvhe received a large amount of the money. Some of this he had paid out under orders, but he still had about $40,000 to his credit in bank, when an injunction was served on mm prohioiting him from making any pay- ment of lne Bnme UItil the further order of the court. That was very embarrassing to the Governor, because the troons w hh n hand and had not been paid off. Mr. JenkinB. it scemB. was unwilling to dis- obey directly the order of the court. In the meantime' tbrf pay rolls were being made out. and one bright Sun. day it was whispered that an injunction would probably be served on the banks prohibiting the payment by them of any money on account 01 tne soldiers, aome- I v. : . & i j . .
