A SEVERE HIT.
At a Locofoco meeting recently held in Colum
bua, Mississippi, the following was among the
Resolutions adopted :
" Retake d, That our Senators and Representa
tives in Congress have faithfully doue their duty, and
we hereby teuder them our cordial approbation and
congratulation : Provided that nothing horein con
tained thall be construed as an approval of the courts
pursued by the Hon-. Jacob Thompson on the Resolu
tions of thanks by Congress to Gen Zachary Taylor "
This ia a severe but just retort upon the "di.
tinguifhed" member 'from Mississippi, who un
dertook to pronounce judgment, ax cathedra, dur
ing the last session of Congress, upon the milita
ry skill of Gen. Taylor, and who, when tne Reso
lution of thanks lo that distinguished officer was
pending, threw in that lainoua proviso, declaring
that the said resolution of lhanka wae not to be
construed aa an expression of approval of the
capitulation and armistice at Monterey ! Mr.
Thompson and hie coilaborer in the work of de.
Tarnation, Mr. ricklin of Illinois, have been
silenced by subsequent events. Indeed, all the
defamers of the old Hem have been converted
into his eulogiata and we imagine that even tha

A MOST ; SINGULAR CASEj -Wa
fifid in the) Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, the following account of tha afwmalooa
ease of Misa Sarah Burbeck, of Sareni, wneyia rt
noned not to have slept for a momentj nor been
frea from pain, for fifteen yeara. liar dout
limbs are in perpetual motion and almost all the
joints in her body bavebeen dislocated thonaands
of times :
When I entered her room, eh wae aining up
it, hAii. inu ner riniii prui, iiauu nnu ..,jtv,w wv.w
twFiting about in every direction, presently she
leaned forward and threw herself back against
the head board, aa if determined to break her
head The head board wbs within an inch or
two of the wait, and though a large, well stuffed
nitin was olaced aeainel il.when her head struck
the pillow, it wsTs with such lorce that the bed
stead struck the wall, causing the whole houee to
tremble. During ten minutes that I eat there,
ehe was thrown back in that manner over thirty
times. It appeared to jrie that each blow of her
head against the pillow, board and wall, was auf.
ficicnuo stun a common person, yet ehe hardly
appeared to notice it.
During the intervals between these spasms her
riiht arm. hands and finjrere were twisting about,
and tier right shoulder and under jaw were drawn
out ol joint and in continually, tha bones rattling
and grinding together vwtn a noise inai couia ue
heard in oilier rooms, as I was told by aeveral
present. JJcinj deaf 1 could not hear them, but
bv niacin? one hand on her cheek and the other
on her shoulder, I could feel the grinding and
cracking aa the muscles- kept them in constant
motion.
Sometimes her jaws are locked several lioura
und even days ; at one tune, if I remember right,
i hey were locked twenty five days, wliSn all the
nourishment she took wag through the aperture
canned by the lues of a tooth.
Her jaws have been so olten aisiocaico, sua can
bile nothing except when the contraction of the ;
muscles throws her teeth together, and then her
tongue is often caught between her teetn ana se
verely bitten. She takes no nourishment except
in a liquid state, and that wiih the greatest diffi
culty, as it causes Btrangulalion, spasms and ae-
vere distrese.
These spasms sometimes throw her from her
bed tn the plastering over head, and sometimes
on jo the floor, and any attempt to hold her in
creases her agony.
Her hand is sometimes tnrown into ner iauc
with such force as to bruise her face and break
tho skin, and one of her eyes haa thus been de
stroyed.
While conversing with her.her jaw was thrown
out of joint, and drawn down in a most shocking
manner,' and she was tnrown oaca inree iimee
with such force as causrd the whole house to
shake, and the moment the epasm ceased she fin
ished her sentence, commencing at the very word
where the fit had interrupted her, and with so
calm a voice, that I asked her, in astonishment.
if she felt no pain when thus attacked. &Ue said
the pain was so excruciating, if she would give
way to her feelings, her screams might be heard
half a mile; but as that would only diatreas Olh-
j, she had learned to be quiet.
Her father is over 90 yeara of age, and had a
shock of palsy, from which he had partially re
covered when I saw him. Her mother ia over
70, and has had the care of thia suffering child
until prevented by sickness within a year and a
half. At the lime of my visit she wae confined
in the same room in a very feeble state.
Fire! ! After our last week's paper had gone
to press on Tuesday afternoon last, the alarm
of fire was given, and on repairing to the spot
we found the cooper's shop of John Blackwell

destroyed all his out houses, rail ways and the

appurtenances of his ship yard, together with a
small vessel on the wharf undergoing repairs
Soon the fire extended to the lot ot Mr. Samuel
Simpson, prostrating every wooden bnilding on
Ins premises. We believe ihedamaee was much
greater thin it would have bi-en, but for the fact
that the intense heat of the fire cut off the fire
men from procuring water at a convenient point
The brick tenements of Mr. Simpson and Mr. Spar
row, wereall that, was left standing on their prem
ises. These, three gentlemen suffered greatly in
the fire of 1843, and in thia instance their loss is
considerable; bnt the heaviest weight falls on Mr.
Sparrow ; his loes being between 3 and 94,000.
Tba total loss la estimated at 6 or $7,000.

THE ARMY. J
Several uflirers of tho army, lately arrifed at
New Orleans from Vera Cruz, are of opinion that
General Scott will be prevented from mjrehing
into the interior of Mexico, further than Hebign
lauds of Jalapa,by the approach of tlie periejd when
the term of several volunteer regiment under bis
command will expire. Some of those Jerra Will
expire before the flmt of nrxt Julyt whe-Mr
men may re enlist or not. If they chnoseto re
turn home, the General will be under tbe necea-
sity of dinbanding l hem, !nl pVwflOlns; rtWM
oi conveying them to their homes ; and tfcUduty
he might be called upon to perform'at a moment
when it would be extremely inconvenient tq. him
and hazardous to the army. It is the part of pru
denre,therefore,to remain at Jalapa till he receivea
reinforcements from the United States, ortill Gen.
Taylor is so far advanced on his march aa to
render a junction with him easy and sure.
Gen. Taylor ia in the same situation. The
chjef part of his force consists of volunteers, en
listed for twelve mouths, and though their terms
mav not expire so soon as those of some of the
regiments under Gen Scott, yet his situation
would be critical, if he found himself at San Lui
Potosi, or in the vicinity of the capital of Mexico,
while his volunteers claimed their discharge and
no troops at band to replace them. N. O. Courier.
THE DESIRE FOR PEACE.
The Hon. Waddy Thompson baa publisbad ano

be truly saysthat every body ia tirod of thi war,
and anxious for peace actual peace, with or with
out a treaty. The plan which he heretofore sugges

Grande, would give ns this peace, Mexico wooIA
never assail that Una : She can raise bo great army
now.
" It is thua In our power (says Gen. Thompson in
conclusion.) at once to put an end to this most unne
cessary and deplorable war, and every consideration
vhloh should have influence upon honorable men
ztpmanH that We should do so. The national honor
never required the war. The honor of thia country

i A ROMAN! IC LOVfi TALE.
That tip) courae of true love never did rue,
tmoothhae been afaln proved by a circumatane
with which we were mde acquainted a few day
aince. For some tune back, a widow lady ha
resided in the upper part of our city, whoae quiet
and retired manner led her to avoid society almost
entirely. She bad no children, was scarcely thirty I
ia appearance, a nd was remarkably good looking,
with a fare of a mournful cast, which novliats so
often choose or their heroines and which lend
each a charm te tbe features of the pensive order.
It wa known that she bad been married lo a man
much older than hereelf, who had died and left
her in comfomble eireiimstanree. About two
weeks 'since, tjiefawrenceville omnibus drove
up to her door, 'and aba stepped into the vehicle
for the purpose ef viriting the village. There
waa bnt lone other pasaenger, gentleman of
about the aame age with herself.
A few minutes after the omnibus started, the
gentleman made a remark' which attracted the
attention of (he lady, and throwing bark her veil
to anawer, enabled the stranger lo catch a glance
of her feature. An ejaculation, expreasive of
surprise, escaped him, and a scream from the la
dy proved that she waa startled in no slight de
gree. Mary !" Charles !" and in a moment
a scene rarely witnessed off tbe stage waa per.
formed in the omnibus The two people; who
had entered the carriage aa atrangers. were )n
each others' anna, the lady in tears, the gentle
man exhibiting by his voice and caresses, the ex
treme of joy.
In two days from that time, the widow wa
no longer a widow, nor the stranger a bachelor.

of both parties ; the young man bearing an excel,
lent character. Before the time fixed for their
marriage, however, misfortune came upon the lov. .
er, reducing him from comparative affluence to
penury, and at the instance of her relatives, tbt
engagement was postponed, and finally broken.
Depressed in spirits by Ibis double misfortune,
the youth left hi home, none knew whither.
A year or two afterwards, nur heroine, still in
consolable for the loss of her lover, attracted tbe
attention of a rich old fellow who reaided near'
this city. ' He waa a bachelor, and had neither
chick nor child of his owhwi Indifferent as to what
became of her, the girl suffered her relatives lo
dispose of her band, and aha made what wa called
a auceeaa(uf n.atcb in, marrying l lie rich old bach
elor. Three. veers after their msrriaire. her bus-
band died leaving her every dull.tr of his estate.
Independent now of the world, she determined
to spend tbe remainder of her days single--"
mourner for the cruel fortune which bad so des
troyed the happiness of her ynuug love's dream.
Sb removed lo thia city, where she haa reaided
for nearly seven year, unknowing and unknown
living only in the world of mournful memory,
enlivened only by an occasional thought that aha
might jet meet with her heart's chosen.
- By a single coincidence,' be happened to be in
our city, where he had arrived a few days before
from New-Orleans, and Waa' about paying a visit ,
to the garrison on the da on which she called the
omnibus for the purpose of -an excursion in the
same neighborhood. They recognized each other
in a momentmutual explanations ensued, ha wa
atill unmarried, and her wildcat hope were real
