down for the accident of birth, another gallant
ldiar is.rewsrded with titles and money fur the
socialist of having such soldiers under his com•

tifirlbe Toledo Blade dou't subscribe to tbe
doctrine that "the prettiest lining for a bonnet is
a smiling Laos " It says it has seen a great ma
ny "smiling faces" under bonnets, , that wanted
indications of happiness. A happy faoe, wheth
er smiling or not, is a much prettier lining to a
bonnet. Smiles in womankind are often deoeitful
as is mankind The smile of happiness is always
recognised. It is electric and begets smiles in all
beholders. The smile of cheerfu.ness is also sym
pathetic in its action, but the smile of discontent
—the mile-4 jealousy, and they can all smile, no
matter how beautiful the fice, or how elegant the
bonnet, destroy the lining The bitter smile of
scorn is a very homely lining for a bonnet. Tbo
forced smile of sadness, which tells of crushed
have, anchibroken b cart, is the most painful smile
toibehold—more painful than tears, because it is
deceitful—more painful than anger, because it is
forced. We have often seen that smile—when
it was mistaken for cheerfulness, and when we
knew that it was the work of agony unspeakable
to produce it.

Geo Shields slowly recovered Lis health; but

glorious conquest crowned the valor of Ameki

inhospitable enemy.
His next great battles were those of Contreras
and Cherubusco. NAwitstanding, be was still
suffering from his severe wounds, be still would
face and fight the enemy He went into the
battle when his physicians declared that it was
impossible f-r him to survive.
On the 20th of the same month General
Scott once more reports to the Secretary of War
—and this time he writes "from the gates of
Mexico." What does be say of Shields? We
copy from his despa , ch:
"Shields, the senior offt 'er of i e hamlet if
ter Smith bad arrranged with CLidwa!,, er and
Riley the plan of attack for the te irteng, if( li•
cat ly waived interference; but r. served te
self the double task of heldine the 'eaUlkt with
his two regimen's, (S.itirh C.r ,lina and New
York.) against ten times hi , ntre.bers on the
side of the city, ince) Lee tee slopes to his left,
uod, in case the camp in h.s rear should be ear
ned, to face alout end cut off the fiyiug enemy "
And again, speeitiog of the grand final of that
day Gen. Scot. says:.
"Shields, too, by the wise disposition of his
brigade, and his gallant activity, contributed
much to the general results. He held of muses
cavalry and infantry, supported by artillery, in
cheek below him, aul captured hundreds, with
one general (31endusa,) of those who fled from
above."
Referring to the fifth victory of that glorious
day, Gen Scott says:
"It has been stated that snarl two hours and
a half before Pierce's brigade, f Bowed closely
after the volunteer brigade, both under the com
mand of Brigadier General Shields, had been
detached to our left to turn the enemy's works,
to prevent the escape of the garrisou, and to op
pose the extension of the etetny'e numerous
corps from the rear, upon and around our left.
"Iti a wicding march around to the right this
temporary diviinuu found itself on the Ledge of
an open, wet meadow. and in the press nee of
some 4,000 of the tictuy's infantry, a little in
the rear of Cherubusco, on that roa.i. Estab
lishing the right at a strong building, Shields
extended his left parallel to the mad to outflank
the enemy towards the capital. Bu', • tie enemy

cavalry, more rateidly fleeing fevered by better
ground) in the same direction, Suieids concen
trated the division about a hatule', and deter.
mined to attack in fr•eat. The battle was lung,
hot, and varied, but ultimately succeea crowned
the seal and gallantry et our troops, led by their
duitinguished comui ioder, Brigadier General
Shields. Shields 3t)o prisoners, including
officers."
General Quitman writes.
"In directing the advance, Brigadier General
ghields was badly wunudeu in the arm No
persuasions, however, could isdnee that officer
to leave his command and quit the field." And
again: -Until carried from the field on the night
o the 18th, in coassqeoos of severe wound re
ceived in the morning he was conspicuous for
his gallantry, energy, Iliad skill."
Yet, with all the above evidence in' favor of
the pure patriotism, the brave wed almost reck
less chivalry of this true-hearted and devoted
son of our institutions, he is to be proscribed
because, foresooth, he was born in another °little,
and, perhaps, because he has bled on more fields
of battle in defence of American freedom and
American rights, than those who proscribe him
have ever read of.
Gen. Shields is one of the heroes of our coun
try, whom the good and patriotic desire to pro.
mote, and can never be eflocted by the malice of
a cabal that can only live for a season.--.Nts.

Some of the Fusion papers are just now bet•
lowing lustily over the refusal of (kn. Cass to
conform to the instructions of the Michigan
Legislature. That our readers may see that all
Whig papers are not so soft, we annex the fol
lowing from that old reliable orgain of the oppo
nents of Gen. Case, the National lottelligencer;
-The Constitution of the United States wasde
,-igned by its enlightened and truly republican
framers, for the consolidation of the Union, and
the securing of a stable, conservative, free gov
cruelest; and so was it construed and held to be,
and such was its operation, so long as any of its
wise and virtuous founders remained to direct
the course of public affairs. But it seems to be
mission of modern democracy to undermine the
Constitution, to loosen its baaciemtrtitil its pow
ens, thwart its beneficent action, and nullify its
conservative principles, One of the these con
servative principles, sod perhaps the wisest if
them all, was the comparative independence git
en to the Senatorial branch of Congress, in or
der to protect it from being unduly swayed by
frequent, rapid, fortuitous mutations of popular
npieioo; and accordingly, as a matter of course,
it is this principle upon which the democracy
holds itself especially bound to make war, by
the indefeasible right of instruction. Thus it
often happens that a Senator who is elected one
year, is instructed by a succeeding Legislature
iif a different party complexion the next year,
and if be be of the true democratic faith aid
profession, he must obey or resign—giving way
possibly to a ancestor who say its a like ma-
Der be instructed out in die coarse of another
twelvemonth—thus, as we have said above, prac
tically nullifying one of the most vital proviiions
of the Constitution. It has, as if to show the
folly of this doctrine, as well as its mischic
voustois, happened that a Senator has been in
structed so rapidly and variously, by the caprice
of popular opinion, as to have received an op
pisite set of instructions before he bad time to
dispose of the first, and thus rendered contempti
ble as well as ridiculous, if be affected to give
the preference to either, as an imperative obli
gation upon him to obey or resign. These re
marks are simply preliminary to the expression
of our satisfauon at learning that the distin
guished and veteran Senator Cu., yesterday in
►,is plce in the Senate, on the presentation of
certain resolutions of the Legislature of Michi
gan, took occasion, democrat though he be, man
fully to oppose this subversion and nullification
of the Constitution, by the usurped democratic
dictatorship of "obey or resign." We are glad
that the veteran and worthy Senator boldly
threw the weight of his name and character
against the mischievous doctrine. We agree en
tireLy with the sentiment of the lamented Cal
houn, when he was a Representative, that in
structions from coostitdents were to be received
by the Representative with the utmost respect,
be weighed with the greatest care and deference,
but were not to bind the Representative against
his judgment and his conscience."
EiraAnis ImPosrrios —A. notorious woman of
New York has for some time been going about
among the rich and benevolent of that city, dress
ed in mourning and wearing a most meek counte
nance, soliciting subscriptions for the establish
ment of "A Christian Home for the Benefit of
Female Servants " She procured somehow the
name of the philanthropist, Peter Cooper, and by
showing it around obtained subscriptions to the
amount of twenty thousand dollars! James Boor
man subscribed 11000; Cornelions Vanderbilt
12000; S. P. (Sarsaparilla) Townsend gave four
lota of ground to build the "Home" on; ex-Hay
or Westervelt, Rev Drs Hawks, Cheever, Alex
ander and Potts, besides many benevolent ladies,
heartily endorsed the enterprise; and there is no
knowing how far the imposture might have gone,
if she bad not applied to an inquisitive gentle
man who took the trouble to investigate the mat
ter. He soon found that it we a fraud, and on
the exposure of the woman's character, the sub
scribers, clerical and lay, male and,iemale, came
out with cards, disavowing the whole project.—
It is not known whether the enterprising woman
obtained any cash by the operation; but it is
quite likely that she did.

Mr. Wade, during last summer, while out in
the fields, used frequently to slake his thirst at
rivulets and creeks, and , may then have swal

prefers keeping in a bottle much better than in

SEBASTOPOL, Jan. 10.—It is understood in

from the original plans of attack, Nitta a view of
taking important points of defence in the flank
of the reserve.
Two divisions of the French army will imme
diately leave their camps nu the Brriab left, and
take up a new position on the right. The ob
ject is partly to stop supplies friqn reaching Se
bastopol by the new road, which the Russiato
have nude from Inkermann.
