Failure of the Cambria**
The Express train with the mails for the Cam

Sunday morning, did not arrive at Greenport until
11 o’clock on Sunday night, and the boat did not
leave Greenport for Norwich until Monday morn

The exhibition of a magnificent sword in |
this city, lobe presented to Gen. Twiggs by
the citizens of Augusta, and Richmond coun
ty, is the occasion of this brief biographical
notice of him.
lie is the third son of Gen. John Twiggs,
of revolutionary memory, and was born at
the family residence in this county. (Rich
mond,) in 1790, After a brief sojourn in
Franklin College at Athens, he entered the
office of the present venerable head of the
Augusta Bar, Gen. Flournoy. In 1812, with
the first notice of the last war against Great
Britain, lie obtained a Lieutenant’s commis
sion through his lather’s influence, and has !
row served thirty-five years in the United ,
Slates Army; and past through every variety I
of climate, exposure and disease. During t
the late war, as it is still termed, he was |
confined to the sea-board of tin's State, being
posted at Savannah, Darien, St. Mary’s, &<-• |
He afterwards served with Gen. Jackson in
the Indian campaign, and ever afterwards se
cured the esteem and friendship of this great |
captain. To Capt. Twiggs was assigned the
duty of receiving the surrender of Fort St.
Marks.
Gen. Jackson, then President, give to j
Lieut. Col. Twiggs the command of the tnili- ;
tary expedition against Black Hawk, when j
the cholera in 1 332, arrested it at Green Bay. J
In 1833, during the days of nullification, he j
by the order of the President, was in com- |
mind at the Arsenal near Augusta. Col. I
. i
Twiggs accompanied Gen. Gaines, as second
in command, when he marched from Tampa
Bay to Fori King in Florida, after the mas- 1
tsacre of Maj. Dade’s column. He was also
in the battle at the cove of Withlacoochee,
when Gen. Gaines was surrounded by the
Indians. Soon after this, he was advanced
from Lieut. Col. of the 4th Infantry, to full
Colonel of the 2d Regt. of Dragoons, and
served with it under Gen. Scott during his
campaign in Florida. He was second to
Gen. Taylor at the battle of Palo Alto on
the Blb of May, and commanded the right
wing of the army on that memorable occa
sion. Col. Twiggs gave the order by which
the enemy’s last effort on that day was ar
rested, by Ridgely’s battery firing upon the
Mexican cavalry. On the 9th, at llesactf tie
la Palma, our army never deployed into line,
but he conducted the entire movements of
the right wing, to the salisfaclion of the com
mander-in-chief. At Monterey, he was once
more second to Gen. Taylor in the regular
army, and was ordered with his division to
make a diversion in favor of Gen. Worth,
who was to conduct the main attack. This
diversion, as is recollected, proved to be by
far the heaviest affair, and Gen. Twiggs’ di
vision suffered severely.
Gen. Twiggs is nor a graduate of West,
Point—most if not all the letter writers in
the army are from that school; hence little is
paid by them of him. He is, again.much too
independent in his words and actions, ever to
become a popular man. But this officer has
been appreciated by Gen. Taylor and Presi
dent Polk, as he was by Gen. Jackson; and
now his own fellow citizens, those of Augus
ta and Richmond county, have had a most
elegant sword manufactured to be presented
to him, for his long, efficient and gallant ser
vices to his country. His character mav be
defined to be, a reckless independence alike
of superiors and inferiors, a severe discipli
narian, unflinching determination, the strict
est honesty and a good heart. 1
I'scapc of Francis D. $
The individual who has obtained an
infamous notoriety and been convicted of
forgery and embezzlement on several in
dictments, succeeded in making his escape
from the parish prison lasi evening. His
absence was discovered about 9 o’clock,
and immediately made known to .Mr.
Wagner, [be U. S. marshal, who at once
notified the police and offered a reward of
SIOOO for bis apprehension. We heard
of ibe affair quite late last evening, but
could not ascertain from any source upon
which we could place reliance the modus
operandi of the escape, and forbear to give
currency to the rumors and surim-es that
were indulged. A thorough investigation
into the affair will of cour.-e immediately
he instituted, and every means taken to
retake him.— N. O. Picayune , 23//t ult.
Volunteer*,
A report has been in circulation for j
some time past, that the barracks below' }
this city were closed to the volunteers by !
order of the Secretary of War, We ;
have no doubt that litis report originated |
with persons w ho designed by such dirty !
means to injure the democratic adminis- !
(ration in the eyes of our fellow citizens, :
and in particular of the friends and rela
tionsofthe volunteers. We have author
ity for saying, that ibis report is entirely
false and unfounded. No order for ex
cluding the volunteers from the barracks
was ever issued by the Secretary of War,
or by any bead of a bureau of the War
Department. The second Mississippi
regiment of volunteers has been, in a
manner, put hors du combat, by being
forced to encamp on Ihe battle ground, tip
to their knees in mud and water, in the
most tempestuous weather that has been
witnessed in this quarter of the country
for many years. The responsibility f?r
this dreadful calamity rests somewhere
—but not with the head of the War De
partment.—N. O. Cour.y 28 th ult.

THS AGE OF IMPROVEMENT.
One of the m >st important discoveries of the
age, in ameliorating the. condition of this large
class of suflferering humanity, con umptives, is Dr.
Wistar’s Balsam of \\ ild Cherry. M hat lime cs
tubli-■ h"s and consecrates, w hat experience adopts
and confirms, wScat all men in all places unite in
saying is good and valuable, is so, no doubt. A
popularity of this sort fixes in society its roots so
deep and so strong, that lime cannot destroy it. —
'ldle success which lias attended this medicine fur I
several yea r s past, ha? overcome the prejudices of
all respectable and sensible men, and the article
has taken a stand among the fir.-t class of discove
ries and blessings of the age; and when resorted
to in season, eradicates the diseases for which il
i recommended.
We cut the following from the Bellows' Fulls
Gazelle, of January, 1846.
WIST AR ’S BA L-S AM. —Notwithstanding our
aversion to pulling, as many do, everything that
comes along in the shape of Patent Medicines,
and the fact that we scarcely ever take medicines
of any kind, yet we ieel that we should be doing
injustice to the community by withholding longer
the favorable opinion we have of IV isLir s Bal
sam, in cases of colds and pulmonary complaints.
Having witnessed its good effects in several in
stances, we believe it to bean excellent article.

IMIE subscriber would respectfully invite the
attention of ihe (itizensof Augusla tolhis
establisliment, particularly to the use of Camphino,
as being the most economical anti brilliant light
yet invented. It is extensively used in this city in
all toe hotels, bar rooms, howling saloons, and fol
ly one-half of the stores, and in all the printing offi
ces and reading rooms, ft is manufactured fresh
every day and wilt he delivered at the Rail Road
Depot free from expense of porterage.
ALSO.
Cam phi tie Lamps. Murphy’s manufacture; also,
Camphine, Solar and Lard Lamps, of Dyott’s, and
( ornelius & Co.’s, and Horn’s (glass Camphine
Lamps,all of which are warranted to give satisfac
tion. All I ask is a trial to convince any one of
the advantages of Camphine over any oilier light.
Also, Howland’s Boston Winter extra clarified
j Lard Oil—tiffs oil enjoys a high reputation here,
j Judd’s Winter Sperm Oil, warranted; Sperm and
i Solar Oils, various qualities, and Spirit Gas.
