'' • A long march after a great victory, and when the American army halted the walls of the Mexican capital lay ,before them. It was a glorious sight, worthy even of the noble lives lost on hard-won fields and in long marches under a tropical sun to reach it. Long lines of ' weary, dust-stained men marched by to take the posts assigned theni. Greasy na tives watched' them silently in sullen hate, or cursed theta secretly by patron saints innumerable. Officers of every, rank da6hed by. One rode slowly,' noting everything with quick, restless eyes. A great shout went up front . the - very hearts of the soldiers.' It was General Scott. " To-morrow we will be quartered in the city," said a soldier, iilready cooking his supper of hard bread, beef and coffee. Cavalry ;men polished their sabres and artillery men their guns, petting and talking to :the grim, bras-throated monsters as though they were children.i And long streets and squares of tents grew up as if by magic. A young man,wearing the uniform of captain, watched the scene eagerly. To him it meant more than the mere disposal of a great army. Beyond the barriers of military rank and dicipline, he recognized the invincible pluck and courage that characterizes an American wherever you find him, whether he car ries a private's knapsack 'br wears a general's stars. A staff officer approac led him. " The General wishes to see y u," he said re spectfully.' " Am I to be court-Martialed, or pro ,thoted ?" the captain asked carelessly. " Neither," was the quiet reply. " I merely have orders to conduct you to headquarters." "Captain Thorne, I believe ?" sard the general as they entered the tent. The,captaimixAvecl• CaS. Th - egenerargave the handsome broil z cd face a quick, searching glance. Then he at °tree addressed him. " I have a difficult and dangerous un dertaking for you Captain." The captain looked interested. " One that re ,quires great skill and se crecy," he continued, apparently satis lied with the manner in which the cap Win received the news. " I am at your service, General." " Several officers, one of them a mem ber of my staff, with important dis patches, have disappeared mysteriously of late," the general said, tilting him self back on'his camp-stool, uncomfort ably, " and in such a manner that lam convinced they must have been eaptur ed,within our-lines, and then disposed of in some way unbeknown to me, but which I trust you will soon discover." " I shall require assistance, general." " Certainly. I have detailed men enough from your command to over come fifty Mexicans—a much larger force than you will be likely to cocoon ter.', " Why, there are not fifty well men in my company, general," the captain exclaimed in astonishment. The general smiled. " I said equal to fifty. Corporal Judkins is to accom pany you, and I have reckoned your .your strategic, and his fighting powers, equal to that number of the enemy," " You are complimentary, general." " I am no stringer to the fame of 'cap tain Thorne and corporal Judkins," the general said, good-naturedly ; " and now as I have business elsewhere, Ad jutant Gray will Write the necessary orders for the execution of our plan." " The - man of all men I would have chosen to accompany me," said the captain. " Who? Judkins?" • " Yes ; why, the• man is a giant, in power, and_as shrewd as he is power ful." " T have.heard the general speak' of him," replied the adjutant as he wrote the orders. Li all-New England there was not another such a Yankee. Nor in all the army a braver man than corporal Jud kius. In person he' was tall, bony and muscular, with. large, ungainly feetand hands, • and , ragged, homely , featureS, strongly marked with that strange mix ture of cunning and simpfieity, so char acteristic of the genuine Yankee. • As all of the missing, officers had been seen last in the vicinity of the General's tent, it was decided to make that the base of their operations. Ac- cordingly, about midnight they left the General's tent as carelessly as though though they bad passed the evening over cards and wine,instead of anxious consultation with the General. One by one the lights died °kit, until the vast camp lay in silence - and dark ness. For a while they discovered noth ing to arouse their suspicions, until a figure came suddenly out of the dark ness before them. After a whiSpered consultation they decided to advance as though they had not discovered it. As they drew nearer they saw that it was a woman \ old 'and' bent nearly ilouble, who hobbled along 'with great apparent difficulty. The captain recognized her at once. " It is the old woman who sells fruit to the' soldiers," ,he remarked to ' the cor poral. • , " But what is she doing here?" " Doubtless some of the soldiers have stolen her oranges, and she is coming to the General with a most piteous -corn 'plaint," laughed the captain. « Possibly. There is nothing in the world so ugly as n Mexican v woman of the lower class, after - threescore , years belie passed over her. A.Grariada Gyp sy of that age is tolerably homely, but a Mexican is positively hideous, And this ono might have been queen of them all, just as Quasimodo was Pope of the Fools, by virtue of his supreme ugliness. "So the senor watches for Mexican spies," she said, , stddressing the captain in a harsh, shrill voice, as he drew near. And then hot seething to notice the captain's surprise,' she continued,' " the old woman's sharp eyes have discover ed two spies secreted inside the camp. What would the senor give to discover them ?" The captain took a handful of gold from his purke. " This shall be yours," lie said eagerly. The woman grasped IMJIM - 11 COLONEL GONZALES BY PAUL SKETCHER. IM=MI =I MI - - , it covetously and Said sharply, "some with me." " I think we Sluff tory at last," the c / i his Companion. If what he was to dis t whole length of th leeping camii their guide led them, s wi ,a . swiftness that would have awake', d . their suspicionS at any other 'time.' Neither Of ' them thought of summoning- assistance.— "We are _ more i than a'Match for two Iklex leans," ,theicaptain . sald, contempt uously: : The corporal nodded aequiesence. At length they stepped before a large tent, that from its pOsition at the foot of a small hill, was secluded from the rest of the camp and almostoutslde the line of pickets. A light streamed through a rent In the canvas§. The guide raised the edge,of the,tent,softly. i Look in," she whispered. 1 • , Without *Will* to think, theythrew themselves Off the round and peered cautiously through the opening. , The next iiioment strong,urnis were thrown around them,lind before they could de fend them Selves of give an alarm they were gagged, pinioned, and dragged within the inclosurel Once within, astrabge sight met their gaze. The bent form of the guide drew itself up to twice its former height, and with a quick, imperious gesture, tore off the ragged cloak and a skillfully con trived mask, revealed the face and form of a man wearing the uniform o f f a Mexican officer.; ' Colonel Gonzales at your service," i,he said, with 4. Mock- , ing courtesy. ' J The prisoners started, for Gonzales was chief of one of the mogt (laring and successful guerilla b ' ads that harrased and hovered around be army. 1 1 " And one of ,thee gentlemen is a member Of Gen. Santa. Anna's staff; the other is an 'officer high in the army of the Republic ; 'and now," he added, re moving the gags ' from the bleeding mouths of his prisotts, " the least at tempt to escape or gl i e an alarm will be the signal for Your exit into another world." And asheitouched the long knife in his belt significantly, they knew he would keep liis word.., , " And no'W, captain, yeti Will oblige me by changing yititii.uniforin'for this Citizen's dress. Your brother Ricers have worn it before you." ' i "Where are they i °iv ?" the captain could not help askin q . The chief took the l'Ong 'knife - -from his belt slowly. fa This did the Ni7,o rlc for two of them," ',he Said quietly ; " the one with t dispatches was disguised as a civilian and sent; to !Santa Anna one morning after your pickets were with drawn. Perhaps,leaptain, it may in terest you to know' , th t you will be sent to the same place. As for him," he said pointing to the corp ral, " the knife will finish him." A strange light, blazed In the dark eyes of the corporal. ," I've got one of my hands free,' •he whispered 'to the caitain. By this -time the l other Mexicans were 'sleeping soundly, and after binding the ,iCaptain securely, without even glanciiig 'at the corporal, the chief threw him self upon the ground before the door of the tent in such a position that the least movement of the prisoners would awake him. 1 , After waiting until he had fallen asleep,'the corporal slowly and silently began to reinove the cords that bound him. At last, holding up his hands to show the captain that he was free, he began creeping towards him intending to re lease him and then capture the sleeping Mexicans. Just as. he Ireached the cap tain a noise outside•wOke the sleeping guerilla. Gathering all his energies for the struggle, the corporal sprang or ward and grappled him with a grip like iron. Over and over they rolled, ne th en daring to call for help—the corps ral for fear of the sleeping Mexicans, he chief for fear of the sentinels. At last the corporal succeeding in getting ,cis antagonist's knife, and 'plunging it to the hilt in the .Mexican's breast, the hold of the latter relaxed and he sank back without a struggle. . To cut the cords that bound the cap tain, hind the sleeping Mexicans and call the guard was I but the work of a moment., "Perhaps," said the corporal addressing.thelirisoners, and imitating the sneeringtone of the dead Mexican, "it may interest you to knew that you will. be shot as spieS." . And' two dap. afterward : they were tried, sentAe»ceil and 'shot 'almost Within sight of Um 'spot where they were captured.' I , , READY-MADE FOR EMBER - A man from the country walked into the, office of a lawyer the other day, and began-his application : "Sir, I have comelto get yodr advise in a cue that isgiving mesome trouble." "Well, what's thq matter?" "Suppose now," said the client, "that, a man bad one spring of water on his land, and his neighbor, living below, should build a dam across the creek through both farms,'iand it was to back the water upintotheether man's spring, what ought to be done?"' "Sue him , sir—sue h im, by all meatb. 7 l," said the lawyer, Who alWays became excited in proportion to the aggeavation of his clients.

"lint stop,"-cries terrified cant for legal adVi s eAilkit's I that 'have built the dam, and'itis i neighbor Jones that owns the spring; and lie threatens to sue me." - The keen lawyer hesitated a moment before he tacked his ship and kept, on. "Ali I well, sir, yoit say you built a dam across that creek. What sort of a dam was it, sir?" "It was a Will-dam". "A mill-dain 'for; grinding: 'grain, was it?"'

Schuyler received a common- school education;and while yet a boy, remov ed with his mother and her second hus band, Mr. Matthews, to Indiana, and settled in St. Joseph. county . For' four ii. ki l l ui et y e o r t el l Schuyler served vi as e a ef clerk ew arlisle, andcwhen seventeen years old, poti an. appointment-n. 4 Deputy Conn- Auditor, removed to the county seat; outh Bendovhere he has since resid ed. • At an early age he commenced to take an active interest in political mat ters', and 'frequently published his views upon' the questions of the day in the 10- 1 cal. newspaper. He soon acquired rep utation as,nn able 'writer, and in 1845 bedame prnprietor and editor of the St. Joseph : Valley Regider, published in South., Bend..' commencing withirnall means and a small subscrip 'oil list, the paper, by its general inter ,eSt mid the editorial ability displayed, - soon became remunerative. He acted with the Whig party, and in 1848, itt (nigh only twenty-five years old, he . cAs a delegate to and ono of the secre ri es of the National Convention which i ci I n,ipai ated General Taylor. His first tibmi ation to Congress was in 1858,' When e was beaten by two hundred vOtes said to have been_ " colonized." At the time of his seconU nomination, the Nebraska bill' *its the most exciting, issue before the country, and the Rep resentative from the - diskriet having voted for it, against the ,:desires of his= ,constituents, and anti-.obraska men immedlately selected Colfax to take the lead in publishing - the delinquent, and electedhim by two thousand majority. When the %Way-fourth Congress met, there wasa,majority opposed to the Ad miniaftatiou; but this opposition was of iti harnion ions material. A famous eon- tea - t for the Speakership, extending from- December. 3, 1850, to February, 1857, resulted .1% the election of Mr. Banks—the first.- formal national tri umph of the national anti-slavery sen timent. As the Speaker has power to constitute the committees of the House, who prepare and in a great measure de cide all its- business,' the result was gratifying - , and may - be attributed In a great degree to the exertions to Mr. Colfax, who by great effort succeeded in staving off the election of Mr, Orr, a strong pro-slavery man. In the session of 1856, Mr. Colfax delivered his well known speech on the bogus:- "laws" of Kansas, which was considered so able a summary of the - case _involved, that during the Presidential campaign of that year half a million copies were printed for distribution. From the year 1856 Mr. Colfax -has been - the Re publican .candidate for Congress in his district and has been successively elect ed by large majorities: He was an en thusiastic supporter of Mr: Lincoln in the campaign of 1860, and as long- as the latter lived,. he loved, respected, and trusted Mr. Colfax, in whose judgment he placed such implicit confidence that it has, been said lie rarely took any steps affecting the interests of the nation 'without making his intentions known to him. Jr. 1863 Mr. Colfax was chosen and has since"remained Speaker of the House of Representatives,:and has -ac quired a high reputation as an irripar= tial and efficient chairman and a skill ful parliamentarian. Hohas also at tained distinetitin as a, lecturer and is perhaps as well known to the people as any, of our younger public men. A writer in Putnam's Magazine for June giv& the following accurate personal sketch of him : . " His open, pleasant face has become familiar to audiences throughout • the country, who have listened to his ad dresses upon political topicS, upon the late Piresident Lincoln—by, whom he Wati \farmly hved—upen his tour :nc cross the contTnent to • the Pacitle,•or upon subjects connected with the work of the Sanitary and Mil Stain Com missions. He is pure in his personal, and moral habits, has a broad,outspok- 1 en, and catholic sympathywith every good work of reform, whether political, moral, intellectual', religious, and-has, the warm and enthusiastie* confidence of Christains and temperance reform ers thronghat the country. He at tends; and we believe is a member of the reformed buteb . Church, and is a thorough teetotalist. Without t being educated as.a scholar, industriousread ing has given him mueli of what is val uable in scholarship' unalloyed by its pedantry, its clannishneSs or its egot ism. Without, being 'bred' a lawyer, practical familiarity With legislation. has taught.him all that is most Valua- ble in law, freed from the conservatism and inaptitude for change and 'reform which rest like an incubus on so many of those minds which are bred by the habits of the legal profession to look for precedents which show what the law has been, rather 'than to broad principles which settle What the law ought to Le: Yet Mr. Colfax,Atis fee wietitly shown the happiest familiarity th' precedents, especially in questions of parliamentary practice.' As a pre siding officer he is the Most popular the House has had t3incc Henry Clay.' As au orator, Mt Colfax is not argumenta tive, except as clear statement and sound judgment are convincing. He rides no erratic hobbies. He demands few policies which the average sense of in telligent men cannot be made to assent to on n clear statement of his position. He; is, eminently representative. ' A glancelat his broad, well-balanced, prac tical' brain, indicates that his leading faculty is the sum of all the faculties— judgment--And that what he believes the majority of the people either be lievtfor can be made to believe. Some men may be further ahead of the age.— Mr. Colfax finds sufficient occupation and usefulness i n n adapting himself to times and things as ; they are, without cutting his. throat With paradoxes or stealing a march on • mankind with some new light which they• are very likely to regard as a "will-o -the-wisp." He has no eccentricities, butgreat tact. His talents are administrative and exe cutive rather than deliberative. Ho would make good. appointments, and adopt sure polici6. Ho would make a better President or ' Speaker of the House, than Senator. He knows men well, estimates them correctly, treats them all fairly and candidly. No.mau will get through his business with you in fewer minutes, and yet none is more free , from the hdrrid .brusqueness of busy . rnen. ; There are heart and kind ness inlr. Colfax's,politeness. Men leave his presence with the impression that he,is at once an able, honest; and kind , man.; Political opponents like him personally, as well as his , political friends. We have never heard that ho had any enemies. The breath of slan der has been silent __toward his , fair, .-spotless fame. The wife of his youth, after being for a long time an invalid, sank to her final rest several years ago, leaving him childless. ( II WI
