Strasbourg. Dietrech's house was. poor, and his
table frugal, but hospitably open to Roujet de
Lisle. - The young officer &eated himself there
night and morning, like a son or brother of the
family. One night there was only garrison bread
and a few slices of smoked ham on the table ;
Dietrech, looking at De Lisle with a melancholy
serenity,, said :
. 'There is a lack of abundance at our meals-;
but what matters it if there be no lack of enthusi
asm at our civic festivals, or of courage in the
hearts of our soldiers ! I have still a last bottle
of wine in my cellar. Let it be brought,' said he
to one of his daughters, and let us drink it to
liberty and our country. Strasbourg will soon
have to celebate a patriotic ceremony, and De
Lisle must find in its last drops one of those
hymns which carry into the sou! of the people
that intoxication from which iLhas sprung!'
ine young gins appiauaea ins words, orougni
the wine, and filled the glasses of their old fath
er and the young officer until the liquor was ex
hausted. It was midnight; the night was cold.
De Lisle was a dreamer ; his heart was affected ;
his head was healed. . The cold Beized upon him ;
with unsteady steps he entered bis solitary cham

There was no much room to spare betwixt

of introduction.- His unwhisperables being of

into a hard knot was no ways slow. Our hero
'gave tongue' instanter, and by the twentieth gy

did honor to his knowledge of dynamics. Gen.

he dared not venture them near the 'seat of war,'

The card stripper threw off the belt, but the

our hero, s apposing it in foil operation, burst

the very commencement of the war. the universal
'sentiment of the Whig party was to settle mat

Famine raged at They condemned the origin of the war as they
now ao, hut believed, as we had become involved
in it, the best plan was to prosecute it with vigor.
Had it been conducted properly had the means
which government possessed,, been promptly and
liberally applied as the Whigs insisted upon, it
might have been ended ere now, at fAr less sac
rifice of life and money, than it has already cost.
Judging from the past, therefore, if either par.
ty is in favor of withholding supplies, the credit
of such a policy belongs rather to tbe'side of the
administration. Whose fault was it that Gene

render of Monterey ! Jt waa the fault of those
who denied him the necessary means of success.

fauJt was it that bcott permitted even Santa An

fault was it that the Mexican forces in and about
the city of Mexico, were not all taken prisoners,
and peace was not dictated and secured by thir
ty thousand American troops, instead of being
proposed by Mr. Trist, to the amusement of the
Mexican Commissioners 1 These are questions

No American can read them without a throb
of patriotic exultation. Whatever the cause,
whatever the tendency of the war! it has at least
proved that nothing is impossible to American
vaior, sKiii, and energy. Alt the past may be
ransacked in vain for a parallel to these miracles
of courage. The invasion of Coktez ceases to
be romance in the comparison with this most ex

allusions to the manner in which he has served up
the Mexican nation. Scott has fully proved hi
claims to tho appellation of Win-field. Worth
might have taken his name from his character
and his deeds. Fierce has rone through th en.

our foes, and Ticiggs, twigged them to some pur
pose. Pillow has invited many a Mexican to his
last slumber. Butler tapped his share of Mexican
barrels at Monterey, while Hunter started the
game out of Alvarado, and gave his commander
no chance to be in at the death. The Indiana
General shewed Santa Anna thatthere was no
'turning iri that Lin. Some of our officers have
proved even better than their
government in all wise and prudent measures of .le
gislation. When the spirit of our admirable con-.
stitution has been perverted, and its sacred compro
mises assailed, though silent and unobtrusive in her
course, her people have always stood ready to enter

Wise and prudent as she has beenan all such mat

Something should be done certainly to drain off
readily the surplus crops of tbe mountain districts,
and to furnish facilities for tr&nRrtnrtjvHnri tn tY, m
mining and manufacturing sections ; but the small
amount of travel must always prevent Rail Roads
in that section from being profitable. Moreover
the terminus of the two Roads now talked of in
that section one from Charlotte into South Ca
rolina, and the other from a point above Danville
into Virginia, must carry the produce out of the
State to be sold; a result to which all our efforts
seem to drive. Thus the Old North State is made
a "hewer of wood and a drawer of water'1 for her
more fortunate neighbors, who in turn suck her

at the downfall of a faction, whose venality and du

for its own interest and advancement The trans
parent balderdash of representing the Loco Focos of
