I y ,fass the reports ot tith coin maptleisin-chief, Gener.
al Seett himself, will show. To these I refer the
skeptical on this point. On the evening of hie 19th
of August, dining the first attack' on Contreras Gen.
Pierce was severely injure.l by hilt' horse falling up
on him. (BY'the way, it is matter of Wonder that
we all did not break' our necks iii that idenial pe.
dregal—it was enbugiv Minn every otie " hors' du
combat.") But with' italbmitable courage and for
titude, under excruciating' pain, he was on
his horse next day, and'leil dinnmand in both
battles of Contreras and Chuiubuko. It should be
remembered that the Ornate did not agree with
the General; he was sick and' greattY reduced, in
dependent al the accident.

is generous to a fault—proverbially so. People
may talk as they please about the CENT given to
the boy to buy candy ; but what will they say when

him
When I knew General Pierce, he certainly ha•i
no pretentions to the Piesidency. Weil, sir in camp

lover of the whole Union, upon the rights ol the
South anti the institution of slavery. Ile always
energetically deprecated any interference with our
Jomes•ic Institution, and would lay down his life
in defence of rights guarantied to us by the Consti
tution. And that time I believe him. trite and sin

Allison, of the Philadelphia Conn of Common

Court in the case of Harrison vs. t larrtaon, which
rules an imporant question in the law of divorce
Mrs. Harrison was formerly married to a man
named Hildebrandt, who had another wife living at
Baltimore. On discovering this prior marriage, she
psosecnted Hildebrandt for bigamy, of on which
charge he was convicted ; by his own confession,
and duly sentenced by the court. The act under
which he was convict'd by bLamydeclaresthe „sec

former marriage with Hildebrandt. and contended
that the prior marriage with Hildebrandt shoold

The College is something more than a mile from
the center of the city, and consequently belare the
engines reached the ground, the !lie had made such
progress as almost to preclude the hope of saving
any portion of the building, especially as the fire.
men were forced to depend upon the river, a quay
ter of a mile distant, for water. At length they ar
ranged a line of hose engines from the river up to
the walls of the building, and eventually brought a
powerful stream of water upon the fire, and by this
means saved the east wing from destrnetion, which
appeared inevitable, while the west wing and the
whole of the main building were entirely consum
ed. The building was a substantial structure et
brick and grani'e, foul stories high, and about two
hundred feet in length It was erected in 1840 and
'4!, for educational purposes, and was under fate
care of the " Fathers of the Society nt Jesus " The
average number of pupils for several years past has
been about one hundred, and the Faculty. at the
present time, consists of a President, Vtce-Presi
dent, Prefect of Schools, lira Professors. and sax As
sistant Teachers. As a literary institution, It oreu
pied a high rank in the denomination by which it
was endowed, and youths from all parts of the
Union, from Canada, and from the West Indies, are
sent to it to be educated for ecclesiastical, prOfes
aional and commercial life Its loss will be severe
ly felt, notdy by this community, but by thou
sands in other Owes who are deeply interested in
its welfare.
The loss upon the building and furniture is esti
mated at about 50.000, upon which there was no
insurance. The ra hole of the large anal valuable
library was scared; fl pentod of it, hoe ever, is
slightly tfamage4.l Most of the scholars lose their

Mrs. Clay is now 71 years o age, and although

of 50 Her name was Lucretia Hart, and her na
tive place LeZington. Mr Clay married her shor
ty after he came to Lexington from his native State
Virginia. IJ7 her he had eleven etaldren, three of
whom died in childhood. Elizs Clay died sudden

conjpany with her fatber. fier . age was about six
teen. Another daughter, Mrs. Dtibale. of New Or
cans, died abotit the same time ; In 1835, entail:6
and only remaining daughter, the wife of James

children, only four now live, Henry Clay. Ir., hay.
