She is justly entitled to the appellation; she has abused him mote than all the rest put to gether, and therefore should be foremost in the ranks, with J. C. Calhoun and F. W.

MiLLEDOEViLiE, Wednesday, Ibth Nov. When the two houses adjourned their morning session of yesterday, they did so to meet at 3 P. M. i to a.range the funeral ceremonies of the Hen. ce i nalcr from Walker, who expired in the morning. I That being done both houses adjourned til! this ■ morning. • ° In the House yesterday after my letter was closed tiro time was pretty much occupied in reading Bills a second and third time. I anticipated yesterday the vote in the Senate on tie Court Bill was decisive of its fate —on a motion to reconsider the question this morning, the notion after some discussion was decided by 52 nay to 30 yeas. In the House this morning, after the call oi the counties during which many unimportant and local bills were introduced, the special order of the day, being the Resolutions of Mr- Flournoy, of Wash- i iugton, on the Sub-Treasury, Sac,, came up for con sideration, and the Hon. mover has, w hile 1 write, | the door, and is making a bold and able defence of ! his resolu ions,and in opposition to the Sub-Trer.s --| ury. Where or when the discussion will end, will depend entirely on the feeling of the House. I ; It is not improbable that they may go off on mo- | ! tion to lay them on tho table for the remainder of | the session, simply because a majority of the Rep- ! rese itatives are uuwi'ling to consume the time of j the country in the discussion of the resolutions un- : j der consideration. Every days’? observation confirms the impres- | | sii-n which I entertained at an eaily day of the se c - , | sion that little will be done of general irapoi trace j j by the present Legislature, and 1 confess that this | j opinion has bo* n greatly strengthened y the ac • tion of tho Senate on the Court LIU. On the subject of the resumption of specie pay ments, the indications at present are that the banks will not be required to resume before the first of : February next, if then. And strange as may' seem, it is not improbable that the self-styled Democratic [ party will make an effort to slave it off cvea to a j more distant day, in order to protect their party and ■ its bantling,(the Central Rank) from the indignation of the people. But on this question a few days will show what position they will take, upon this important and engrossing subject. J. For the Chronicle Sentinel. Ilanison, TjricrJaiid Reform—O. It.

Rhode Island the Flag .State. A Whig majoritx ix kvehv Cocxtt.— The Election has resulted most gloriously. The ! Whig majority (2 towns to be heard from,) is 1 1976 in a vote of 8380.

Rhode Is- J land has done her duty, and hns performed the ' pledge she made when the Old Hero was nomi nated. When our cxpiess arrived with the glorious intelligence, a Whig procession was formed at the Town House and marched through the city !to the inspiring music of the Brass Band, and | the far louder vocal strains in honor of Old Tip jpecanoe. Bonfires were made upon Jefferson's Plains j and other conspicuous places, lighting up the i city with the luosi brilliant illumination. Joy was upon every face, and congratulations ex changed on all sides by the men whose exertions J had been crowned with such triumphant success. Sxbllixg a Rat.— The Cincinnati Public Ledger relates the case of a lazy fellow in the maikel who was busily engaged in selling “fine, fat, dressed squirrels,” as he called them. Bud deni} the tail of one of the little animals, which the fellow had neglected to cur-tail when skimng it, was observed to sticking‘out a feet.’ A bystan der remarked, that ‘ that was a curious looking tail for a squirrel to have,' and upon a * close ex ■ nrninin’,’ as Paddy would say, ‘ the squirrels all I turned out to be rats.' It seems that they have | been in the habit of trapping these filthy animals j and selling them to the citizens as squirrels, for | some time past.—Look out how you buy squir j rcls, friend*: this description of the varmint is ! plentiful in New Orleans— New Orleans Piray | une. To Mohkow.—This would be a happy world i enough were men more content with to-day, and ( less anxious about to-moirow. One half of t he ■! misery in the world is not real, but anticipated 1 misery. A concern for this bug-bear “to-morrow” is at the bottom of a majority of our troubles. - And yet if a man will but glance over his yestcr i days, ho will nt once see how foolish it is to fel I oneself about the time to come; for he will find ; in every yesterday a miniature grave as it were, dug by a too fearful imagination, in which isbur- I icdall bis little store of daily happiness. A pru- I dent thoughtfulness for the future, every man should entertain; but it is worse than folly toper* i mil t ie breath of a to-morrow, like a mildew, lo blight fioweia that bloom around our pathway. L»t u« enjoy tka suK»kla» vrhilo it is about us ; and if beneath the horizon clouds are concealed ; why anticipate the gloom in which they will en sb oud us; Truly has the poet asked : “ What avails it that indulgent heaven From mortal eyes has wvppt the woes to come, If we, ingenious to torment ourselves, Grow pale at hideous pictures of our own : Enjoy the present: nor with heedless caies Os what may spring from blind womb, Apoai the shoitrst hour that life bestows.

It ha; frequently been observed in times of great mortal ity, that where disease carried off its one thousand fear distroyed its ten thousands. So of the minor evils of life ; where the happiness of one is a fleet ed by real misfortune, that of ten is destroyed without any just cause. The truth is, men are no! content with their every day happiness. They slight the good to come. They waste their I daily supply of oil in fruitless attempts to procure | a supply tor the morrow, forgetting that he who replenishes the ciuiseis inexhaustible. Every man has < il enough in his own lamp to light him to contentment, (tha f better name for happiness.) if he will but use it. aright. But he will not use i it aright, and that is the mischief of it. i Some men seem to act as though there are not ! evils enough already in the world, besetting us on | every hand, and so they go to work piling up men of straw, converting them at once into so many giants, and then waste their strength and ; spirits in battling th>*m. There is not hardly n ; man who has not a lion in his path, roaring like : all possessed.—And yet the growl is all that is | known of the lurking danger. While to sorae tins same “ to-morrow" of w hich we are writing, is pregnant with nothing | hut direful evils, to others il is the great store | house cf hopes and enjoyments. The past is nothing; the present is nothing; the future is every thing. Neglecting all the means ol enjoy ment scattered profusely around them, they press on to the attainment of sorae unattainable good. To them, happiness, like the bird, Hnma. is ever on the wing, fluttering tantalizingly before them, but never perching so that they can lay nold cf it. And so they wear away their lives, in one I vain, endless chase.

The a nil,': and accoutrements of this fonnida-, hie host are of the most simple nature. A sol i <lirr wears an ordinary jacket, with a border round ' it, '.he color of which determines the division (to which ho bclon. s, whilst the name of the J division is written in front and on his back. I If he can atTord il he buys gaiters and a pair of shoes and stockings, but these are no indispensa ble articles < t wear. Instead of a knapsack, he only encumbers himself with a canvass bag, into which he puts ait his valuables and provisions ; and the cartridge box, a small cotton pouch, he wears in front, so that during filing he is in groat danger of explosion, a misfoitune which has hap pened very frequently. His cap if he has any at all, is of a longitudinal shape, with a small red tassel. The jackets arc of ail possible colors —blue, red, yellow and" while ; nor arc they so vciy nice in these distinctions as the European Barbarians. The ancient Chinese were very fond of wearing armor, and in modern times a few of the elite have retained the custom ; it is only, however, on occasions of great state that they appear fully dressed. The uniform of the caval ry does not differ from that of the infantry ; they ride on very clumsy saddles, and use immense ; stirrups, without spurs. As lor the ullicets they 1 wear long robes either of silk or lur, and their dress is distinguished from that of the civilians solely by the embroidery in front and behind ol some tierce animal like a tiger, lion or griffin,— All have a ring on the thumb to assist them in drawing the bow, and this may be considered as the generic badge of the profession. Every one of them, on occasions of state, slings a bow round his neck and girds on a sword, the former being the natural companion of every warrior.—They dciigiit in the grotesque, and are fond of paint ing tiger heads on the gates of forts, their side hoards, vessels, and, in fact, where a plate is found which can be garnished with a head.— Whosoever can procure a tiger skin sleeps and sits upon it; they grind the bones, which are imported from the southern Asia in great quan tities, and make jelly of them, which is a most 1 delicious repast, whilst, the greatest til-bit a great officer can partake of, is tho gall, and all this is for the sake of inspiring him with tiger-like cour agc. They even dress the privates in imitation of the terrible animal, but in this case they do not use real skins but only dotted cloth. .Such a corps really look formidable, and would perhaps inspire terror to whizzing grapeshot, if tho latter could bo stopped in its flight. The arms are the pike, lance, spear, halfmoon with hooks and various other implements, double swords, the bow and matchlock. Os the former , there exists a great variety, and they become dan gerous ia a close engagement. The swords arc badly tempered and next to useless, yet the sons of Ham have an advantage over all barbarians, 1 for they fight with two. Not satisfied w ith car rying on the work of slaughter with one hand, thev draw both and go on fencing till their anta gonist is out of bieath. They aie very great adepts in the use of the bow, and opposed to any archers of the nomadic tribes, they have invariably in a drawn battle gained the advantage. The matchlocks are of the worst description, the barrel being cru-t and the touch hole very large, so that no reliance can ; be placed upon their hitting qualities. The sol diers are averse to their use on account of the I many accidents that continually occur, and a brave man looks behind him whenever he takes aim, to preserve his eyesight for a future occa- j s»ion. Notwithstanding the reiterated orders of introducing firearms generally, the bow h still ; retained as principal implement of war. Shields, i made of rattan wicker-work, aie universally in use. and a fiord exc« lient pr tcction against ar rows. Soldiers do not encumber themselves j with a variety of arms ; their air pikemen, swords men, archers, and matchlock men, each of whom has only one weapon, and no other. When drawn up in full array they look the most motley group upon which the eye can beset. We have heard them compared with the military of the middle ages; bnt if the knights and their retain ers make as sorry an appearance as the warriors of the celestial empire, all the glowing descrip tions of helmet, breastplate, and lance, with which the chronicles ot cbivalnc lore abound, seem sadly misapplied. The cannons are of the most varied calibre,— Some arc so small that they are carried on men’s shoulders, and placed on a sb-nd whenever they are to be used. This is the flying a-liilery of the celestial» mpire. The Chinese have managed lo f cast immense pieces, which would match with our forty-eight pounders, and have in fact manifold variations of this instrument of destruction. Thev do not understand how lo bore them, but the body is ready cast of iron, w ith many pores and often honey-combed, sotjiat they frequently burst. The toucbolc in moreover too large, and the whole without mathematical proportion, and of c ourse not able to maintain a well directed fire. Instead of balls they often use stones or pieces of iron of every possible- shape. They also avail themselves of grape shot, rockets, and grenades, which, on ac count of their clumsy make, prove almost harm less. The gong and a small drum a c the principal instruments for encouraging lire soldiers to make an attack. The latter emitting a deafening noise, is well calculated to rouse martini ardor. They have also horns which sound likocnnchs, but art* not frequently blown. The army is divided into 5, 10 and 11)0, and ' these again in battalions, camps, brigades, and divisions, rather different from what wo are ac customed to. They do not march in those ranks, j nor wheel round and draw up like our soldiers, | nor can they be said properly to march. In ‘act, they walk ns they best can, without putting themselves to any inconvenience, and in time of I need they run in a trot, and whoever is the fore-) most is the braves!. Tho Ch mese have a great variety of works' upon tactics, and they have advantage of contain ing the experiments made during the space of two thousand years, and if the officers by study ing them do Hot become first rale taclitians, there will never another be formed anywhere. The great art consists in drawing up from ten to one 1 hundred men in a circle, and making them move , about in all possible direction?, so ns to annoy | the enemy in front and rear. The whole army I is divided in van, centre, and rear, and each part ! consists of a number of these subdivisions. At j each of these circles stand several standard bear-1 ers, who indicate the movements by their flags. ; They fall down, rise again, jump forward, yell, ! strike the gong, form again, then holla out, and thus proceed to terrify the enemy. It is also - customary that the bravqst ride before the ranks,, and after having soundly abused their niste, they challenge the strongest-to single com- 1 bat. This offer decides the whole battle ; and I the parly whose champion is beaten thinks it on ly proper to retreat in disorder, or be cut up 1 piece-meal. Engagements where masses fight arc unknown, and the whole artol extermination is reduced to mere skirmishing. i lie army is raised from the oll?pring of the soldiers, who are almost all married. It is rather an opprobrium to be a soldier, and the very name of iaon-lseang is enough to fill people with aver sion, so that no honest man would enlist. As the army is very badly paid, the privates arc ob liged to shift for themselves as well as they can. he-v generally understand some craft or other, ami are frequently engaged ia husbandry. Every province has some lands which are either culii e mtu ° lnilitarv ’ 01 their own advan agc. he most propitious time, however, for these heroes is, when they are on actual ssrvice. n«n they find some opportunity for squeezing *! lu roDt -' ln ?- fl nd their numbers insure to them always impunity. Henee the terror awakened j amongst the peaceful inhabitani •at the d \ } the defenders of (be crttrntry, for they are private marauders. Every [ rivato may become an officer, and the greater manfli.nns'hiivo i.smi Horn the ranks; the qualifications for advancement, arc a thorough knowledgr of archery, running. Jumping, and a general knowledge of tactics. It is surprising how ignorant the officers in general are, though there are regular examinations instituted to ena | h!e them to obtain a degree. Once advanced, they are promoted ly slow steps, and though I merit constitutes the sole cause, yet money is a still more important article, and one may buy a | commission with ease. As, however, the situa tions are by no means lucrative, and are retained with considerable risk, there is little ambition shown to rise in the service by paying sums. As a whole, the Chinese army is unique in its kind, and time will show of what stuff the men arc made who, according to their own statement, keep ail nations in subjection. George R. T.
