Death of Haj. Gen. Quitman.
The telegraphic announcement of the
serious illness of General Quitman a few
days since, prepared ns, in some meas
ure, for the sad result now communica
ted. Gen. John Anthony Quitman is
added to the list of the great departed,
whose names enrich the annals of Amer
ican history with pregnant examples of
encouragement and duty. lie died at
an early hour on Saturday, 17th inst.,
as the telegraph informs us, at his resi
dence near Natchez, Mississippi, from an
attack following a chronic state of ill-
health, which is believed to have origi
nated in that remarkableendemic, known
at Washington some months since as the
“ National Hotel disease.”
No citizen not related to South Caro
lina by nativity or residence, has ever
been so endearingly and intimately as
sociated with the honor, interest and af
fections of the State, as Gen. Quitman,
and no State will feel the sad shock of
his decease throughout her citizenship,
more painfully than South Carolina. In
advance of more matured and well pre
pared tributes which will he paid, we
can offer hut a few hurried remarks.
John A. Quitman was the son of Rev.
A. Quitman, D. D-, of Rhinebeck, N. Y.,
a distinguished and esteemed minister
of the Lutheran church. The Rev, Dr.
Quitman assisted in the ordination of
the Rev. John Bachman, D. D., who left
the place of his nativity to enter on the
pastorate to which lie had been called
in this city, about the same time that
the young Quitman was entering on the
active duties and trials of life.
The Stale of Mississippi furnished his
chosen residence and adopted home, and
never received the homage .or services of
a nobler or more worthy son in the field
or the council. By the exercise and cul
tivation of the qualities which afterwards
bloomed out so cofispfouomlj’ in fuller
view, John A. Quitman soon challenged
and appropriated ti e enthusiastic re
gards of his friends and fellow citizens
of Mississippi, who gave him manv
proofs of their confidence, which thev
never had occasion to retract or qualify.
Neither our space nor information at
command will permit us to repeat the
details of Gen. Quitman’s civil and pro
fessional career previous to his entrance
on the field cf service, which lias indis
solubly associated his name his name
"ilhthe most brilliant records of the
American armies and the greatest ex
ploits of a volunteer soldiery.
Suffice it to say that his character and
qualifications had been so well estima
ted and appreciated, that his appoint
ment in 184S to the command of a di
vision, was universally hailed with ap
proval and high expectation. His first
active services as a volunteer, had been
rendered at Monterey, and received the
most decided commendation from the
General-in-Chief of that division. He
was next in active service before Vera
Cruz, with equal valor and devotion —
and began his official connection with
tile “Palmetto Regiment” and the com
mand of a volunteer division in the fear
ful march to Alvarado, during which his
generous and cordial sympathy with the
sufferings of his command and his noble
efforts in sustaining and sharing their
determination against dangers and suf
ferings more fearful than anv ordeal of
actual conflict, first attracted the regards
and affection which afterwards grew in
to a love rarely bestowed by the soldier
or any command. Ill health or duties
of negotiation prevented Gen. Quitman
from sharing the memorable actions at
Contreras and Churubusco, on the 19th |
and 20th August. After the termina-|
tion of the armistice which followed these i
battles—in which he was a principal ne-j
gotiator—he came more distinctly and j
independently into separate command,)
and the memorable passage from Chap-|
ultepec to the Aztec Capitol—every step j
of which almost was a triumph—has;
given to our history no nobler or worth
ier name than that of Quitman. In the i
capture of Chapultepec he was honora
bly and conspicuously distinguished, and
was the worthy conimander'of a divis
ion whose brigades were led by Smith j
and Shields.
In the capture of Mexico, Gen. Quit- j
man’s gallantry and the enthusiasm in- i
spired throughout this command by the i
confidence reposed in him, were more;
signally displayed.
The line of approach assigned to Gen.j
Quitman by the General-in-Chief, was-j
against the strongest portion of the city,f
aud'his orders would have justified him J
in making only a feint, aud in reserving;
his division for a timely reinforcement,!
if nectesary, to the attack, which was
supposed to be more judicizns and more
directly addressed to the easiest access.
It was not, however, within the putpo.se
of Quitman, or of any of his officers or
volunteer followers, to play at' a feint.— j
With the accumulated impetuosity of a |
series of batd fought battles, and as if;
emboldened by the added spirits of the j
gallant dead, whose graves marked the i
road which bad been passed, the favor- j,
ite division under Quitman soon entered I
on aa assault, or succession of assaults, j
of unparalleled eagerness and reckless!
determination. Whether Quitman led
his div ision, or his command led him
into what was technically a movement
beyond orders, was never exactly inquir
ed into. All beholders and witnesses
were carried away with enthusiastic ap-
i.lause and approval; and none envied
or demurred because the gallant, and
popular, and beloved Quitman enjoyed
first of all the commanders of assailing
divisions, the privilege of possession and
entrance within the capital of the Mon

since the era of l’ickwick and Bardell.

j tlrat had been reposed by the General
in-Chief since Gen. Quitman had been
in near official relations, and its wisdom
; and fitness were univeisally commend-
! ed. This order’of appointment was da
ted-4th Sept., 1847, and the post cf
Governor of the city—in succession to
Gen. Jose Maria Tornell, who had been
“suddenly removed,” as the waggish
bulletin of the mess room aunounced—
was filled with exempliarv fidelitv and
signal ability by Gen. Quitman until
Oct. 20lh, when he was succeeded by
Gen. Persifer F. Smith, at. his own re
quest, and repaired to the permanent
headquarters to report, and receive or
ders and a distinct command.
Gen.'Quitman reached New Orleans
in the steamship Alabama, on the *2’2d
November, 1857, and was received with
becoming honors—indeed, with demon
strations that would almost have been
extravagant towards anv other guest.
U is reception at Natchez by his friends
: and neighbors, was a triumph that the
j oldest veteran of a life-long war could
i have honored and envied,
j Th e enthusiasm was contagions and
j diflusive, and its resources of communi-
j cation were electric, as the telegraph
! was then extending its wires in our
j southern land. Our readers remember
; the events and excitement of the closing
1 weeks of 1847. and we must hurriedly
! close this inadequate tribute.
Telegraphic communication was first
established between Charleston and Col
umbia, S. C., on the first of December,
1847, and one of the first messages we
had the privilege of transfering to
print was a report that the legislature
of South Carolina had extended an invi
tation to General Quitman and General
Shields to visit the Capitol as the guests
ot the State. Gen Quitman reached
Charleston, oil his way to Washington,
on the 22d of December, 1847, and met
there General Shield?, his colleague then
in honor and welcome. They were treat
ed as our city ever treated worthy guests,
and the events of the visit present so
many interesting details that we must
content ourselves with refering to the
full reports of the day. The citizens gen
erally, and the daughters of the city, the
Ministry, the Brotherhood of Free Ma
sons, all did w-illingsnd hospitable hom
age to the brave.
The dose of the war, to which he had
contributed so illustriously, and the con
dition of the peace army at that dav,
induced General Quitman, as soon as.
possible, to resume the duties of civil
life. Mississippi welcomed him as a son
bv a new adoption and baptism of hon
or, and through the remainder of his
life a career he shared in an extraordi- j
narv degree the regards of all who knew ' me.
him personally. The instincts of the o-
rniles off.
Now, the difficulty lies in not precise-
Iv understanding the difference between
“ polite attention” and the tender man
ifestations of love. Admiring a beauti
ful woman, and wishing to make a wife
of her, are not always the same thing ;
and therefore it is necessary that the
damsel should be on the alert to discov
er to which class the attentions paid bet
by some handsome and fashionable
young man belong.
First, then, if a young man greets you
in fond, free, hearty tones; if he knows
precisely where to put his hands ; stares
you straight in the eyes with his mouth
open: if he turns his back to speak to
another; if he tells you who made his
coat; if he eats heartily in your pres
ence ; if lie fails to talk kindly to your
mother; if, in short, lie sneezes when
you are singing, criticises your curls, and
fails to he foolish every hour, then don’t
fall in love with him for the world! He
only admires you, let him say what he
will to the contrary.
On the other hand, if he is merry with
everybody else, hut quiet with you ; if
he he anxious to see if your tea is suffi
ciently sweetened and your dear person
wrapped up when you go out in the cold;
if lie talks very low and never looks you
steadily in the eye ; if his cheeks are red
and nose only blushes, it is enough. If
he romps with your sister, sighs like a
pair of old bellows, looks solemn when
vou are addressed by another gentle
man, and in fact is the most still, awk
ward, stupid yet envious of all your male
friends, you may go ahead, and make
the poor fellow too happy for his skin to
hold him.
Young ladies! keep your hearts in a
case of good leather, or some other sub
stance, until the right one is found with
out a doubt, after which you can gc on
and love, and he married, and be happy
without the least hit of trouble.
We consider this advice so sensible
that although it is open to the charge
of bluntness, we have no hesitation in
pressing it upon the attention of our
readers.

from a work published many years since,
and as we have not met with them in
our exchanges, we conclude that but
few editors are acquainted with them.—

’ How to Increase the Value of a Cow.
—Every one who owns a cow can see at a
glance that it would be profitable to increase
the value of her, and we think one cannot
see how to do it. We can, and we think that
we can make it equally palpable to our lea
ders. If a cow is kept for butter, it certain
ly would add to her value if the butter ma
king properties of her milk should be impro
ved. In summer or winter this can be im
proved just a9 the yield of a cultjvaled crop
can be improved by what is fed to each, and
it is simply a question of will it pay, in ma
nuring one or - feeding the other. Indian
corn will add to the quantity and quality of
the butter to a very sensible degree, and it
is simply a question of easy solution, by expe
riment, whether it will add to the profit of the
butter-maker to bur corn at 1 or two cents a
pound, and convert a portion of it into butter
at 25 cents a pound, and whatever the market
price of corn and batter may be, and another
portion of it into fat, and another portion of it
into manure, for that is the natu^) result of
the chemical change produced in the laborato
ry of the cow’s stomach. Good pasture will
produce an abundance of milk, often as much
as the cow can carry ; but does it follow that
even then it will not be profitable to feed her
with some more oleaginous food to increase the
quantity of butter just as it sometimes proves
profitable to feed bees to enable them to store
more honey ? It certainly does appear to ns
the value of a cow, feeding upon ordinary win
ter food, may be almost doubled by making
that food suitable for the purpose ofincreasing
the quantity of milk, if that is the object, or
the quantity of but ter, if that is the purpose lor
which the cow is kept. Faiiners generally un
derstand that they can convert corn into beef,
pork and lard, and some of them know exactly
what price per bushel it will pay to convert it
into these substitances; but does any one know
at what rate it will pay to convert corn or any
other grain into butter, or any other kind of
feed into any of the dairy products? Is the
whole business a hap-hazard one? We fear so.
Some persons know that they can increase the
salable value of butter by adding the coloring
matter of carrots to it. Does any person know
the value of a bushel of carrots to a cow to in
crease her value as a butter-producing labora
tory ? Experimental proof upon this point
would be far more worthy of agricultural prizes
than it is to see who can show the largest size
roots; for by a few carefully-conducted expe
riments we could be able to increase the value
of a cow almost at pleasure.

Mr. TTill had been four weeks at work
he has of their truth :
In the month of October list, I was
in New Orleans, preparing to return to
Nicaragua. About the middle of the
month Gen. Ilenningsen arrived from
Washington, and soon after we met he
informed me that he had important news ,
to communicate. He then proceeded to t;ess ’ IIe “' eratierd $20 for each work-
state, that, while in Washington, lie had
held several conversations with the Sec
retary of War; that, in the course of one
of the interviews, the Secretary hail in
formed him of the determination, on the
part of the President, to arrest the ex
pedition to Nicaragua, adding, at the
same time, that the acquisition ofGuba,
during his administration, was aft object
dear to the heart of Mr. Buchanan. The
Secretary further proceeded to sav, ac
cording to Gen. Uenningsen’s report,
that if we would turn our attention to
Mexico and enter into the service of Oom-
monfort, we should have the support of
the United States Government;—that
while iu the Mexican service, we might,
by some act, such as tearing down the
flag of Spain, bring about a war between
Mexico and Spain,-wnd Cuba might then
be seized by the former power. The Sec
retary according to the report I receiv
ed, informed General Ilenningsen that
means would not be lacked for such an
enterprise, and when pressed bv the Gen
eral to state how the means could he
had, he replied, “I have gone the length
of my tether ; before I can say more it
will be necessary for me to see a pereon
above me.” In the next, interview the
Secretary informed the General that he
was not authorized . to go furtherbut
that be might relv. implicitly on the
means being provided were theenterprse
undertaken. When Gen. Ilenningsen
made this communication to me, I was
shocked, at its-nature, and remarked that
the Government could hardly he in ear
nest. He said that he had been authori
zed to place hefuie me the character of
the conversations held with the Secreta-
on the bar, which is known by bis name,
and bad averaged $50 per day for that
time.
Mr. John B. Jones says lie spent about
five weeks on Hill’s Bar, fourteen, miles
above Fort Hope, and that while lie re
mained there met with considerable slic
ing day. He was in company with three
others, and their joint work reached six
ounces a dav with two rockers.
Two miners of Steilacoom returned
last evening from Frazier river in a ca
noe, after an absence of six weeks. They
state that during a low stage of the /iv-
er they made $15 p c r day each. Four
rockers near them were making from
four to nine and a-half ounces each per
day.
The steamer Surprise had gODe up
Frazier river with Gov. Douglas. All
steamers can navigate Frazier river by
procuring a miner’s license, at a cost of
$5 per man, for every one of Iter passen
gers, and conforming to certain “condi
tions of sufferance,” among which are
these : That no goods are to be shipped
lhat are not bought of the Hudson Bay
Co.; that no arms or ammunition are to
be carried which are not imported from
the United Kingdom ; that no miner is
to trade with the Indians, etc.
