N. CM there lived frotii a "time whereof the
memory of (this) man runneth not to the
contrary" a family whom We shall call Ham
lin . .
u. it consisted or jacK uamiin ana sev
eral maiden sisters,- all of whom were dis
tinpjuished by the angularity of their figures
and their insensibility to, or utter disregard
of the changes and -frivolities of fashion.
Though living in the'immediate vicinity of
this very fashionable place, where; the' new
est modes always obtain, they preserved in
itact the primitive simplicity of dress and
manners that is now rarely met with even
in the ; "back-woods" of the State, i They
were a quiet unpretending family and toler
ably well-to-do.. ..They spun-and wove, and
cut and made their own garments. N5
"higb-falutin railiner or mantua maker was
icouireu uj, ur utrtruuu UUUC glHS, ana n
tailor ever made his-solt out of Jack. There
they lived, or rather vegetated, in quiet ob
scurity, as their ancestors 4iad done before
them.
Well, in course ot time, & suitor came a
wooing we shall call him Woodcock. He
was from one of the upper Counties of the
State, and bad lately settled in the neighbor
hood. His suit was successful and in due
course a lengthy Miss Hamlin became Mis
tress Woodcock.
Their affairs prospered the new member
of the family adopted their habits and all
went on harmoniously until within a few
year back when, sad to relate, an incident
occurred that brought the quiet brothers-in-law
before the bar of the County Court in
the antagonistic characters of Plaintiff and
Defendant. ' , "
Tlfis celebrated case, never before report
ed, vas brought about in this wise : Wood
cock having a horse for which! he had ho
immediate; use loaned the same to his broth
er in law, Jack, and the latter, after using
him for a time sold him andor to account
i to Woodcock for the proceeds of safe hence
the suit.
The lawyer charged with the prosecution
instituted his action, for trover and conver
sion and, after the usual "laws delay" the
trial came on. The testimony adduced es
tablishcd Woodcock's ownership of the
horse, ' traced it- to Hamlin's possession,
showed the sale of it by him, &c., &c, in
sliort the plaintiff made out a complete
case. "-. '
The defendant had no testimony to offer
audit was proposed, by the proseuiajo I
however, was declined by him for the de
fense. This beardless limb of the law was
great on a talkhe had lungs like a jackass
and brains of pretty much the same order,
but'he was a "burning and a shining light"
of the dominant party in the County, and
was, therefore, very powerful' before County
juries, as they were generally of the same po
litical bias.
The plaintiff stated his case briefly re
viewed the testimony, and claimed a ver
dict for his client carrying damages equal
to the value of the horse, with interest, &c,
&c, and then the defendant arose. He
avoided all allusion to the evidence, but
"pitched into" the man Woodcock, who, he
tola tne jury, naa come aown irom tne up
contry and settled in this County for no
better purpose than to disturb the peace and
The forty thousand troops disbanded by
Juarez last August have sufficed to supply
Mexico with a most efficient corps of ban
dits.! They range the country ' in bands of
from five to five , hundred, sack towns and
plunder I travelers with equal impunity.
Theyl are capitally wellTorgamzed, with em
issaries in the different cities and stations,
and have time and again defeated the regu
lar troops sent out after them.- Juarez may
proclaim the most severe punishment, and
execute it when he gets a chance, but of
course it can have lit-tle effect upon such a
wide spread organization. It is, in fact, a
business, and so considered by thejbandits.
When Secretary Pluijib was robbed on the
Cbiquite mountains, a young bandit, of six
teen years, was caught and executied as an
example. He went to his death smoking a
a cigar, and was hung to the limb of a tree
by the roadside with thei weed between his
lips. They regard these execution as mere
business transaction, just as they do their
robceries. Instant death is- the penalty of
the captured bandit. But they preserve the
utmost good humor, smoking drinking and
chatting mernly until the rope or the Dullet"
does it work.! There is no supplication, for
mercy, no trembling," or nervousness. They
die as they kill a man, without remorse or
fear. I This evil has probably grown as great
as it can, but how it is to be diminished is
not apparent in the present condition of
Mexican society.
,; r- '; - - ;
Aalcedarian OMENS.--One of those peo
ple who are always finding occult rules in
sreneralzing upon well known facts writes
to a 1 Western paper that Genera!
name does not codtain the syllable
and therefore he . cannot be elected Presi-
dent.! He monfions the name of nine Presi
dents whose names contain this syllable or a
raodificationof it, and that without mention
ing J ohn Adams, J-ohn Quincy Adams, or
J ohn Tyler. Unfortunately for the theory
it is riot a universal rule, inasmuch as we
have bad a James EL Polk, a Zachnary
Taylor, and a Frankliri Pierce. The water
evidently forgot Mr. Buchanan. The other
Pressidont is included by making the rule
the presence of the syllable "on" or j some
other Isignifying progress which brings in
Fillmore.
It is easy to make rules of this kind; For
instance : have any of our readers noticed
the obstinacy with which the people of Mas
sachusetts have clung to the first letters of
the alphabet in choosing ther Governors, so
that after Banks they took Andrew and then
Bullocck? The former Speaker of the House
was Mr. Stone. We have now become
more explicit and havechosed a precious
a Jewell. Apriori the next Speaker will be
a Diamond or some other variety of precious
stones, while it is inevitable that for a new
governor we must go back to the letter A.
want's
"on."
It is all up 'with' poor Vallandingham.
His reputation as a martyr is assured. Day
ton might be induced to make him mayor,
or the county to elect him sheriff or probate
judge, but his high spirit would disdain
such positions and he can attain nothing
higher. There is no chance for a senator -
ship under two fears and the democratic

fers from him on any point oi political uou-

Vallandingham never flinched even when he
paid the penalty or uis aevouon witu uau
ishment, but his friends dared not, in the
hour of their victory, give to nis tons anu
dangers their appropriate .reward. But' he
can console himself with the thought; that

character that he has always conducted
himselt as became a good citizen, and on
election days has always voted the demo
cratic ticket, as did his father before him !
Here, within two or three miles of this very
Court room, he and his family have lived in
peace and quiet, and might have continued
to live in peace and quiet, gentlemen of the
jury, until death closed in on his well-spent
life, had he not taken this viper to his bos
om. This man Woodcock,' a Whigr who
came down from the up country, was gener
ously permitted by my client to marry one of
in removing Governor Jenkins and Treas
urer Jones, of Georgia. Sent to relieve Gen
eral Pope because the latter was too radical
to suit his Accidency, one ot his nrst acts is
to remove a Governor whom his predecessor
had tolerated. - No one will suspect him of
having done this for political effect, for that
would be entirely out or keeping with his
charcter, and the fact that he, rewarded by
the President as a Conservative, has found it
necessary to. take the course he has, is a
forcible vindication of the acts of his pre
decessor and ot the other district comman
ders, for which they have been so roundly
denounced by the President's organs.
