When the anti-Clin tomans came into [tower. Mari ‘ re

tV “ >ir. Marcv became one ot the most trusty and con
tidcntial member* and advisers ot its head, Martin Van
Rural. To his connect ion with “ The Regency” Mr.
M trc> doubtlos owes most of the good success which has
g -nerally attended him as a political leader. In 1 ‘-•Jli he
received*from the Legislature ibe appointment of Comj -
troller, which ottice he held for several years. In 1829
he was appointed one of the Associa e Justices of the
Supreme Court of the'State; but iu 1351 he resigned
t ,at office, in consequeoce of being elected United
States Senator, lie was in the Senate less than two
rears, when he resigned, being elected Governor of
New York, in 1532. He was twice re-elected, viz: in
is:, 4 and 1836; but on the fourth nomination, 1833, he
shared in the defeat of the democratic party, and Wil
liam 11. Seward was elected over him. At.er retiring
from the executive chair, Mr. Marcv* principally den
ted his attention to his private business, until Mr. Folk
became President, in 1345. He was then offered ai.d
accepted the office of Secretary of War, and was cons d
ered through the so r years of his service one of the
n eat influential members of Mr Polk's csbi e . Tl.e
duties of the Yv'ar Department during the Mexican war
were arduous, and we e dtreharge 1 by Mr. Ma ‘ey with
er.erg’ and ability. On hi- retirement from the cabi
net, after the election of Tax lor and Fillmore, Mr. M; r v
exerted himself to heal the dissensit ns in the democratic
party of this Stat *. Although decidedly opposed to the
tree soil and Wilmot Ptoviso movements of Van Buren
and others in the democratic patty, Mr. Matey urged
the utiion of the party as essential to success, and there
fore became separated from many of his hunker f ieods.
This feeling against him operated so far as probably to
prevent his nomination for President at the Democratic
National Conven'ion, in 1852. With a large section of
the democratic party in this State, Mr. Marcv is not
popular; but bis ability as a writer, tactician and states
man, is genejplly admitted.

self particularly at Monterey and Buena Vista- Presi
dent Polk ottered him the appointment of Brigadier
General in the United States Army, in 1 -4f, but he de
clined the honor. The same year the Legislature elect
ed him United States Senator, and he was placed on
the Senate Committee on Military Attains, as chairman.
He took an active part in important debates, particular- j
!y in advocating Southern rights, and his talents placed 1
him in the front rank of the democratic leaders. He
opposed the Compromise Union measures, which were !
supported by his colleague, Mr. Foote, and, being no- !
minuted as the State rights candidate for Governor, to I
run against Foote, he resighed his seat in the Senate, j
in 1851. He was defeated at the gubernatorial election, |
Foote being chosen by a majority of about one thou- j
sand. He has since remained in private life. In per- ;
son Gen. Davis is of the middle size, and his habits are j
active and energetic; his age is about forty-five years,
and he is considered well qualified for the duties of the
War Department.
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY —JAMES C. HORDIN',

Speaker of the House of Commons at the late session of
i'jc Legislature of North Carolina, end was the candi
date ol the democratic party for United States Senator;
but his electiou was defeated by the intrigues of Romu
lus M. Saunders, and a few other members of the Le
gislature. Mr. Dobbin was also n member of the Nu
tional Cos iv -ntion at B iltimore, and promptly seconded j
the movement o: the Virginia delegation in favor of the
nomination of Gen. Pierce. Mr. Dobbin is in the prime
of life, and of very industrious habits.
POSTMASTER GENERAL —JAMES CAMPBELL.
This gentleman is at present Attorney Genetal of
Pennsylvania, to which office he was appointed since
the Slate election last tall. He had previously been a
lawyer of Philadelphia, and one of the Judges ot the j
Court of Common Pleas in that city. In 1851, an at
tempt was made to elevate him to the bench of the Sn- j
preme Court of the State, the five judges of which are :
elected by the people of the State by general thicket.
Judge Campbell being a Catholic, ands special friend
of Janies Buchanan, was defeated bv the intrigues of
General Cameron, late United States Senator, and other
c anies of Buchanan; and the Protestant and Native
Ama lean feeling arrayed against him. Consequently,
Judge Coulter, one of the whig candidates, was elected,
u itn f< ur democratic Judge*. This circumstance, with
the influence of Mr. Buchanan, have combined to give
Judge Campbell his present prominent position, lie is
a good lawyer, and of active business habit*. He is, we
believe, the youngest member of ihe new cabinet, being
about thirty-five years of age.
ATTORNEY GEXER IL —CALEB CTSHING,
At present one of the Justices oi the Supreme Court j
of Massachusetts. Mr. Cushing was bora iu Salisbury, ‘
Essex county, Massachusetts, in January, lsoo. Ca
leb Cushing entered Harvard College when very y oung,
and graduated iu the eighteenth year of his age. He
commenced the study of the law at Cambridge, and i
was appointed tutor ot mathematics and natural philos
ophy iu Harvard College, which place he held for two
year*, and then removed to Newburyport to engage in ‘
the practice of law. In his profession he was very suc
cessful, and acquired the reputation of a good lawyer.
The political career of Mr. Cushing commenced in i*?',, j
when he was chi sen a representative from Newbury- ,
port to the lower House ot the Massachusetts Legisla- ;
tare. In 1526 be was elected a member of the S:a'c i
Nutate. After this be continued iu the practice of the
law for two years, and in Is?* he went to Europe, on a
tour of pleasure and observation. After his return he ’
prepared for the press and published his “ Romiuiscert- !
ccs of .'•pain,’’ u work which added much to his literary j
reputation. He also appeared as the author of a “ ilis- j
1 ’ ratal and Political Review of the Revolution in
rnuice,” in Is n. About the same time he was a con- I
*’ *vr to the .V **/. American If- citv, writing mainly j
■ fus orica l and legal subjects. Mr. Cushing was I
■yam elected 11 the Massachusetts Legislature in 1833 \

grt'A but was finally elected to represent the North ;

tirued for four consecutive terms, or eight years, viz.: i
■'■m 18 ,5 to 1843. Hat ing commented public life as a j

foßgtyss, Hat.l the administration of John Tyler, when j
”• bushing was cue of the few übigs who ventured to j
Histaiu the course of that President in tbaitdoniug

w*a e >tlm P foade a visit to Minnesota Territory, as
lor purpose of taking up his residence
ne, i() wever, retnrned to Newbtirvpoi t in 1848
and was again elected to represent that town in the
I Legislature. In that body he was the most prominent
j member at the'session 0f1F47; when the Mexican war
was at its height. He acted with the democratic tr.cm
j Gers iu advocating the policy of that war, and tor anpio
; pnaiing ‘,OOO for equip]>ing the Massachusetts Regi
ment ot \ olunteers at the expense of the State. When
his proposition was defea'ed, Mr. Castling advanced the
money from h-s own means, lie was chosen Colonel
of the regiment, and accompanied it to the Rio Grande,
! in Mexico, in the spring of 1-47, being attached to the
army under command of General Taylor. Soon after
his arrival in the Mexican territory, he was appointed a
! Brig.idier General in the Uoiie i S ale., Annv, nad sev
eral regiments of volunteers were placed tinder his eo i
- mand. Ho.iiiiities havingcc.iseil on the noithcrn line,
j General Cushing, being anxious for more active service,
! was, at Irs own request, transf -rred to the army of Gei -
j er.il - i*t. It was not, however, his fortune to be cn
! g>g 1 to any of the brilliant ac.ious of the war; and uf
i ter v-onius services as a commander at San Angel and
other places, he returned linnie on the rextoratioa ,f
: peace. In , -., while he was in Mexico, General Cush
j ing was nominated by the democrats of Massachusetts
jas their candidate for Governor. And the increased,
thong.i, of course, unsuccessful vote given to hint, cotti
paini withi the democratic vote of the previous’ year,
j was flattering to General Cushing and his friends.’ In
1348, General Cushing was a zeXus labor-r in belmlf
of the election of General Cass, acting on till iKtcasioiis
u ith the Union democrats, and agaiust the free soil par
ty*. In 1 ss,i, he was, for the fifth time, elected a metn
l>eroft!ic Legislature from Newburyport, and was ac
tive in that body in opjiosing the coalition of the demo
crats with the free soil party, which caused the election
of Charles Sumner to the’United States Senate. In
1851, the office of Attorney General of Ma-xachusctts
was offered to Gen. Cushing bv Gov. Boutwell, but he
declined the honor. The Legislature of Is.*,? having
created an addition'll Justice of the Supreme Court,
Gen. Cushing was appointed to the ottice in Mav. It
is admitted that h ; has performed the duties of his seat
on the bench with ability a:ul integrity, and us a judge,
lie has acquired an enviable popularity. In person,
Gen. I ushing is tall and slender, with dark complexion
ntid pleasing address. IDs habits are of the most active
and industrious character, and his friend* have great
confidence that he will acquit himself in Ihe duties of a
cabinet officer with the same ability that he has shown

WiFi n> M. Thackeray.
Mr. Thackeray delivered the first and third of his
series of Lectures on “the humorous writers of Queen
Anne’s reign,’* at the Hibernian Hall in Charleston, on
the evenings of the sth, loth aud 11th insts. We give
below a very brief notice of the life and works of this dis.
tinguished author,who has so many readers and admirers
in this country, compiled from li-iljid,’g Mu >f the
T mt*, which we find in the Charleston Courier :
“ William Makepeace Thackeray was born at Calcutta
in the year 1811, where his father was a high official
in the Fast India Company. He was sent to School in
Kngland, and afterwards’ to th? University of Cam
bridge, where he counted among his fellow-students,
K nglake, the author of K-tJ.en, 'Eliot Warbtirfon and
Moncton Millies. Having left the University he re
paired to the Continent, and on his return to England
p ssed some time in the Temple eating his law
terms, and he has given the world a:i interesting pic
ture of the Templars in his novel J * uJ uni*. IDs lust
o'*say in literature, we believe, was as Paris correst >n
dent to a journal established by* his step-lather in Don
don called I'-te Constitution l This paper, however,
proving unsuccessful, he returned to England, and con
tributed to the T me*, and also under the signature of
Michael Angelo Titmarsh, a name w hich he afterwards
affixed to many of his works, to F~eut r'* J lj'biz-n-,
in which among other things he wrote a storv called
, burlesquing the sentimental criminal style of
novels of the class of Bulwer’s Paul Clifford. He also
i started anew spaper in connection with Dr. Maginn,
! another contributor to Fraser, but without success.—

Mr. Thackeray s first fully developed novel, the work
by which he at once established his present reputation
was I yti y J or, the first number of which appeared
in l v 4, The manuscript of this work is said to have
been offered to the Editor of a Magazine, who declined
it, whereupon the author published it himself. This
was followed by* Prndenms, a production worthy of the
writer. T e Great Hetm rty Diamond, Stunts or the
litl Bo t*, Mrs. Perk Ha l, Oar Strut, Dr. B reh

lectures u[>on the \\ its of Queen Anne’s Time, which
have been read before large and fashionable audiences
in England and in this country, and received with great
applause.
Mrs. Tyler’s Letter.— The letter of Mrs. John Ty
ler, to the lady Abolitionists of England, is about to
have as good, although not so profitable a run, as Mrs. i
Stowes “Cabin.’ It has not only gone the rounds of j
the press ot the Lnited States, but we see that it is in- i
scried in the Loudon Times of the 15th ult., and is I
deemed of such importance that that great journal criti- |
cizes it in the leading article. The criticism of the Times
is as mild and favorable as could perhaps be expected
j from a journal holding such opinions on the subject ol
slavery. It candidly admits that Mrs. Ty ler’s castiga
tion of the Duchess of Sutherland & Cos. is as severe as
well merited. The following is an extract frotn the ar
ticle of the Times:
hen we have said that Mrs. Julia G. Tyler’s line
is principally retaliation of the most screechy and indis
criminate species, we have expressed our opiuion both
of the Sutherland address and of the American reply.
No address ought ever to have been published that
could provoke such a retaliation, and when such an ad
dress has once been published and repudiated by the
good sense of the couotnr w here it ap[>ears, the person
to whom it is addressed will show much letter taste by
lea ling it alone than by repeating the error. Iu fact,
it is rather to the credit of the American ladies that no
one has yet been found to retort but the mistress of a
tobacco plantation, who wields the pen with a signiti- ■
j eaut r.etcenesa, and who was singled out as one of a
| thousand at a reply*. Our fair castigator does not leave
; a raw [dace untouched. Ireland, the metropolis, the
; Duniobin estate, the old slave trade, the Duchess of
1 Sutherland’s diamonds, our pressgang—nay, the very*
amount of our poor rates and charitable collections, our
I Queen, our Bi-hops, our .Statesmen, our cotton imports,
and our crocodile tears, are all lashed in succession with
merciless dexterity. There is not a point of the whole
body politic that does not come in for its share of the
1 chastisement. For all this we have to thank a little co
terie of lady philanthropists who were too much affect
ed by the sufferings of “Uncle Tom” and his heroic I
voting friends to remember that those models of excel
lence were horn and bred under the very system de- |
nouneed. Our vocation as journalists brings us into too
close familiarity* with the brittle nature of our own so
cial fabric, aud we hesitate to throw stones which our
opponents will be too glad to threw back at our heads.
The temerity* of the Sutherland appeal served only to ;
show* that the fair appellants were not sufficiently ac- :
quainted with the evils much more within their reach
and their sphere of obligation.”
Singular Marriage of the Eupebob’s Physician* J
The marriage of the physician of lands Napoleon, Dr.
Tonneau, is announced. We learn from the Courier j
deft Etats Unis that he has, in imitation of his roval
master, espoused a lady thirty year* younger than him- j
self. Dr. Connean, who is said to be a most excellent |
man, had been the tutor of this young lady from her i
i infancy, having bestowed upon her all the tender care j
j and solicitude of a father. Some time ago, finding life ,
j charge of an age and in a position to be married, lit of- ,
i sered his services in making for her an advantageous ;
j selection. But I have already made my* choice, replied j
j the young lady, and I am ready to be married at any j
time. How ! rejoined the astonished doctor, have you j
indeed selected yonr husband; and who is the happy j
man? It is yourself, responded the damsel; I love you \
with ail my heart, and I am now* ready to become your j
wife. Too much surprised at this declaration to be- :
iieve his pupil in earnest, the doctor turned it off us a j
pleasantry. She insisted that she was serious, he at
length made a formal and distinct refusal of the hand i
she had offered him The young lady, however, as it j
seems, well considered the subject, and her purpose
was not to be changed. She reproached her tutor with
unkind ness, and with a willingness to make her miser
able. The doctor yielded so llir as to take the subject |
i again into consideration, and after consulting with his
’ ma-ecr and friend, the Emperor, at length decided to
accept the lady’s otter aud become the happy husband
j of Ins now* happy pupil.
Oi.n Mortality. -The following curious paragraph
is from the Dumfries Scotland) Courier:
“Jerome Bonaparte, the only surviving brother of
the great Napoleon, married, in the United States, a
Miss Patterson, who was a grand-daughter of one Ro
bert Patterson, better known in Sco land, and indeed
| over the world, as ‘Old Mortality.’ * 014 Mortality, by
s >u e aejoutits, was a native o: t :c parish . f 4 loii ji rn,
i Dumfriesshire, though, according to others, tlie parish
•of Haw ick claims to be his birthplace. At all events,
: he settled, before commencing his well-known wander
ings, renovating the tombstones of the covenanters, in
Morton, the adjoining parish to Closebutn, aud married
one Elizabeth Gray, who tea <for a cotvdtl •; rU- that <t
1 r ttlmita i,< the family of Pe A'-rlyet ruk* of Cisebt in.
j Old Mortality’s wife, with her children, seti led in BaJ
> nnn ieilun, Kircudbrightshire; and the third son, John,
I emigra* 4 to America in 1776, and established at llalti
j more. Jerome Bonaparte married his daughter. Trtt
! ly, truth is stranger than fiction ! This story, with the
j exception of the last link, seems sufficiently touched
j for by the lescaschcs of the late Mr. Joseph Train, ot
! Castle Douglas, the result of which Sir Walter Scott
j lias embodied in his introduction to *old Mortality ’ —
(‘ Library Edition of the Wuverlv Novels,’ voL v., j> p.
| s —y.) But though that introduction bears the date ot
I lsjjy, it makes no allusion to the circumstance that the
j Miss Elizabeth Patterson, ot New York, whom the fn
; ture king of Westphalia married in 1803, was the dangh
ter of John Patterson, of Baltimore, and the grand
daughter of Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick’s cook. And now
a doceadant of the Kirkpatrick’s is Empress Eugenia
of France, married to another Bonaparte.

Hail Storm in Columbus.
At about a quarter after two o’clock yesterday, a ter
rible bail storm swept over our city, and during the
spaceoflO minutes, did immense damage. Almost
every house in the city was injured. The Warehouses
of Mr. liatikin, Gunby, Daniel & Cos., and of 11 S.
‘tint'll <k Cos., were all partially blown down and un
roofed. Six or eight store houses about ilankiu’s cor
ner had the;r front walls entirely prostrated. Many
piivate residences were partially unroofed. Almost ev
ery chimney in the city is down, and our shade trees
cumber the streets with their fallen trunks and broken
b.nc a2. T. y.ur A Cos. Gin Fact ry was unrooted
and incalculable injury done to a large number of Gins
already finished, and to the tools and machinery used
in the manufacture. It is reported that the bridge in
G.raid was blown down, and a wagon, driver and team
precipi’a'ed into the depths below.
No lives were lost in our city.
It is useless to grieve over unavoidable calamities.—
Industry and energy will repair it, and we are happy
to see eve i before the storm had abated, many of our
citizens were busily engaged in removing the wreck
and repairing the damage it had caused. The damage
is immense, but in the confusion consequent upon so
great a calami’y, it is inqiossibie to estimate it.— l'lmes,

Fatal and Melancholy Accident. —Few circum

row than the death of \\ liliutn, oldest soil of the late
J udge Robt. B. Alexander, in the 14th year of his age.
\\ e learn that on Saturday last whilst at plav with his
companions one of them accidentally struck him with a
small piece of wire, which, penetrating his brain just
above his eye, caused his death on Sunday night The
deceased was ati amiable, intelligent and promising
youth, universally beloved by his young associates, and
greatly prized by his older acquaintances for that com

—Sympathy, we know, can bring but little comfort
to the sorrowful, still it may sooth some momentary

Snow a Hundred Feet Deep?—The St. Louis lnte\

California, which gives a fearful account of a tremend

On w hat is called the Second Summit, the writer savs
he caught hold of the tops of pine trees, and was confi

is an item that should have a bearing upon the question

i Frauds on the Government.—We see it stated in
an Illinois pajier, that Mr. Macon, an agent of the jicn
sion office, has recently been investigating certain j>cn
'ion cases, where the bounty of Government was sus
pected of having been attained through fraudulent rep
resentations, and that of ninety pensioners examined
by him, some sixty-eight were found not to be entitled
to the benefits of the law. The stojipage of those pen
-ions will be a saving to the government of near one
hundred thousand dollars in the aggregate.
The New Hamphire State election took place on
r uesjay and resulted in the choice ofGov. Martin, demo

The Democratic Congressmen are elected, defeating
Vinos Tuck in the first district. There is also a large
Democratic majority in the House, and the Senate is
probably unanimously democratic.

river Savannah. A dividing ridge is crossed by trans

The canal would be without locks. The harbors at
