The Life and Times or Gen. Sam. Dale, the
'Mississippi Partizan, has recently teen issued
from the press, under the editorship of Hon.
J. F. 11. Claihourne, of Nlississippi It is a
too# interesting work, full of startling inci
dents, with a running-commentary on man
and' things of the day in which the partizan
lived.
Below ws, give Itis imprognion of men and
things about, Washington —ouch us eiisted
there in Lis day and generation.
About this time I residved to visit. Wash

amount due me for corn anti other supplies,
furnished to Out troops in the service of the
United States it. various times. and on the
expedition to Fort Dale, in Butler county.—
Ou arriving 1 pnt up at Brown;'s hotel and
next day went to the quarters of the Alabama.
delegation. The thit d day. Col William It
AN.lng. of the 'Senate, brought me word that
President Jackson de — sired to see me. 'Tell
Dale,' said he to Col. liitig, that if I had as
little'to do as he tuts. I should have seen hint
before now' The General was walking in
. the lawn ill front of his,mansion as we ap
! preached' Ile advanced and grasped me
warmly by the hand :
'No introduction is eeeded!' said the Col
' onel. ,
1 ' • Oh, no,' said , the 'General, shaking my
hand again, .1 shall never forget Sant Vale.'
We walked up into his reception roam, and
I,f . was introduced to Col Benton and five or
nix other distinguished men 'They were all

. 1 were talking' •Nollification,' the engrossing
I sobject at that period, and the President,
turning to tee, said, .Gea. Dale, if this thing
goes on, our country will be like a bag of
' meal with both ends open. Pick it up in the
middle or otherwise. mid it will run out. I
must die the bog and savethe country.' The
company now took leave, but when I rose to
,retire with* Cul ,King. The General detained
! me, and directed hie servant to refuse all
"visitors until . one_o'clock. Ile talked over
our Campaigns, and Then of the busincti that
brags - K . 411e to ,Washington, lie then Said,
4 Sam, you have been true to your country,
but you have 'made one mistake be life; you
are uolf•old and solitary, nod without a bo•

called mine away. But all I have achieved--
fame, power, everything—l would exchange
if she could be'restored to me for a moment '
The iron man trembled with emotion, and
for Come-time covered hinface with his hands,
.nnd-tears dropped on his knee I was deeply
affec:ed myself. Ile took two or three turns
across the room. and then abruptly said—:
.11ole,- they lire trying me here; you will wit

uphold the laws. '
I understood him to he referring to nullifi

curred to it, and I expressed the hope that

sir.' I was struck with the sentiment, end
with the labor thisgroat man performed: and
yet Iv never seemed to be fatigued. He' was
not etyma of conciliatory manner, and seemed
to be. tObe always braced for tin attack. He'
spoke with a sort of snarl —a protracted effecr
upon his-taco—but with great emphasis and
vigor. His manner towards his opponents
and especially his looks. wore alvolufttly in
sulting; but. it was well known that he wits
ready to stand up to whatever he said or di
Itas wonderful how he and Mr. Clay avoid
ed Omani : they hated each oilier
mortally at one period; they spoke very,lmrsh
and diming things in debate: both vvere,;prouil,
ambitions, obstinate and imperative ; both
were fearless of consequence's, and th-ugh
habitually irascible and impetuous, perfectly
co-tested in moments of emergency.
' They. differed almost every point, and
only agreed cordially on one—both hated Mr.
Calhoutt. As an orator, Mr. Clay never 'had
his equal in Congress. I would liken him,
from whit I have hoard. to Mr. Pitt. No
single speech that consummate orator and
statesman ever made produced the impression
made by, Sheridan in his.selebrated oration
on the impeachment of iVarren Hastings; no
speech of Mr. Clay's may ,be compared with ,
the great oration of Mr. Webster in reply to
Mr. Mayne; but. for it series of parliamentary
'recites and parliamenrary triumphs. no
British orator may be compared with • Pitt,
Titia' no American wiTh - fility. To in very - 14h ;
order of intellect, they both; united a bold ;
temperament. indonrhable regulation, and.the
faculty
,of command—tlirliiglieSt faculty. of
all.
,Mr. Webster, with'brilliant genius. with,
it wit less fondled. if not so sparkling as Mr.
Sheridan. arid with oratorical gifts not cur
passed'in ancient or modern times, was of a
convivial not of o resolute temperament, and
'was deficient in nerve and firmness. The
want of these was • felt throughout his career:
and enabled 'of hers to siteceiid when he should
have triumphed.. As a C 01131) tnioli, especially
after dinner. lie was most delightful: at other
times. he was •saturnine and repulsive. Mr:
Clay was haughty, and only 'cordial t .t e%
(riemls. Ctil Benton was stilt with ever one.
Mr Calhoun was affable and conciliating
and never failed to attract the young. But
for grace of, manner, fur the just medium of
dignity and alfabilitY. and for the copac)ty of .
influencing men. no one of these great men,
not 'all of them loge - Thor, may be compared
with GeO Jackson. The untutored savage
regarded him as-a • art of avenging dei y; the
rough- baokAodsinan followed him with fear
less confidence; the rho. ries of politicians IA
jurisconqils fgll before his intuitive percep•
lions ; systems and statesmen were extin
gulshed together; no meatiure and no man
survived his opposition, and the verdict of
mankindnwards him precedence over all, lie
had faults, but they were lost in the lustre' of
his character; he was too arbitrary and pas
sionate, and too apt to embrace the cau se
, of
his friends irilhout inquiring into its justice.
But these wore faults incidental, perhaps, to
his frontier life and military training, and to
the injustice ho had experienced from his op
ponents.

On the night before the *battle of Brandy , '
Ribs, I was sent withitt,message from -Gen..
Qreen to Count Pulaski, a noble Po!ander;
:who took a prominent. parts in our struggle for
freedom. He was quartered in a neat farm- -
bowie. near the upper forte. After our bug- ,

In am instant,•m,rosy-cheeked girl entered,

the very sound of Pulaski's voice; •
"Did you cull me, Count?" .said the maiden,
timidly.
"flow often have I told you, my little love,"
he• said, bending his tall form to kiss her
cheek, "not to call me Count: call me dear
Pulaski. Title is a Republic, my little favor ,
'its; we have no Counts, you know " .
"But you are a Count, sir, when at home,
and cti'dy Najr you.dame a long way over the •

':Yes. Mary, very true—l did, coma a long

"Certainly, sir;" and

room like a fairy
"Fine, pleasant girl,". said Pulaski, "would
that I had the wealth I once had ! I would
give her a portion that would send half the

On the morning of the 11th of September;
1777. the British army advanced in full force
to Chadd's Ford, for the purpose of crossing
Brandywine Creek, and bringing on an action
with Washington. Sir William Howe drove
Maxwell's division across the creek, by ten
o'clock, at one of the lower. fords.
The !hessian General. Knyphausen, with a
le-ge force, advanced upon the creek, and
united with Lord Cori6watlis, who commanded,
the left wing of the army, crossed at the up
per ford of the river and creek, it so hap- '
paned, that during the conflict, when carrying
- orders, - Ipassed imMediately - in - the - threctio.
of Pulaski's quarters, that I had visited the
night before. Suddenly a sheet aflame burst
forth : the house was on fire., Near the door

of the terrible wound. I had been there but '

of a troop of cavalry gallopped rapidly to the—i

A writer in the Pacific Methodist gives the
following incident
1 was =need at a little circumstance that
transpired at this place some time, ago, and
us it has never been published, and is too
good to be lost, I give it just as I learned it,
There is no mistake, about its being true.
A certain "disciple" or "teacher," in pass.
ing through the place, made an appointment
to preach. There hail been a camp meeting
of our church not fiir off,at which many had
been converted ; and this revenod teacher,
who is now the 01E1M:of a periodical, took it
upon himself to ridicule what we call con•
version or experimental religion. He spoke
of the efforts we made to get people conver•
ted, of the excitement; crying, &e. Then
he went on to tell of a meeting he had just
closed, "at which," said he "thirty confessed
the Saviour, and put him on by immersion,
and the Venial , of it was, there was not a tear
shed during the whole meeting."
After this tc!litig speech, he took tip our
hymnbook that happened to be lying on the
desk before him, and opcning it at rendom,
commenced reading the first hymn his eye
