A Trophy?Santa Anna's Cork Leg.The
brig Shamrock has brought over from
Vera Cruz a trophy of the victory of Cerro
Gordo more significant of the issue of the
battle than any previous} one we have seen.
We allude to the cork leg of Gen. Santa
Anna which he left behind in his carriage
when he mounted one of his mules and
sought safety in flight. It tells how eminent
he thought the risk of capture and how
nearly he was circumvented in the flight.
It is described to us as a very elegant piece
of work, worthy to be worn by a more val
orous man than its owner. It belongs now i
to Company G, 4th regiment Illinois Vol- j
unteers, who took the travelling carriage of ;
the Mexican General, and is in the especial
charge of A. Walden of said company.
We venture to say this piece of cork will
be treated with much more respect by the !
Illinois boys, than was the limb it was de- :
signed to replace by the Mexican popu- !
lace.
We heard a gentlemen, fresh from the i
theatre of war, relate an anecdote of Gen. :
Taylor. Oue of the Illinois regiments was i
thrown into rather close proximity with a I
u.. ?i i?ii- I--? I
lucAiuiKi uuiusiy, iiuu uie Utilib were living |
tolerably thick and rather close?so close
at least, as to induce the b'hoys to dodge |
occasionally. Old Rough was sitting as- j
tride of his old grey, and being in a position j
toseethe dodging, cried out, "gentlemen, no i
dodging?it ill becomes a soldier to dodge." ;
Old Rough's grey horse presented a fair
mark, and as the enemy had learned his j
whereabouts because of his old charger, a j
very brisk fire was opened upon the grey j
horse. It is said the balls passed around j
old Rough promisc'ously, and the thing was !
becoming quite too hot even for him. At !
last a ball passed so near the old man's j
cheek as to cause him to throw his head to ;
an opposite direction " "th acelerity not atall I

bits ; it was thought the old fellow was dodging?the
movement of his head was noticed
by some of the Illinoisians and a hearty
laugh broke out from the b'hoys. Old
Rough straightened himself up in his stirrups
and said, "dodge the ball?, gentlemen,
but no running."?Miss. Advocatc.
General Assembly of tiie Presiiyte- i
iuan CiiuneiL?At the opening of the Assembly,
on the 24th ult, the Rev. Harvey
F. Leavitt, from the General Convention of
yermont, made an interesting statement of
the condition of the Church in the precincts
oftheConvention. In concluding hisstatement,
Mr. L. briefly referred to the question

to it of the religious community he repre- !
sented. He said that as men, and as chris- j
tians, they were generally anti-slavery in ;
their opinions?they had always been, and
must continue so ; because it could not be i
otherwise. In the very air from their i
mountains, they inhaled the breath of free- j
dom.?Slavery could not live there. But, i
said Mr. L., we have as little sympathy as
you, sir, (addressing himself to Dr. Thorn- ;
well, the modtntor of the meet71*,) can j
have with the ultra Abolitionists, who are |
found at the North. We repudiate the vio- j
lent spirit they indulge. Nor do we claim, !
said Mr. L., to interfere with State institutions,
or to disturb the rights of our brethern j
of the South in any respect. All that we j

among ourselves, and if we speak wrong, '
we ask all our brethern to remind us of it,
and pledge ourselves in the spirit of brethern
to correct ourselves. We a e all,said
he, engaged in a common cause?all travelling
the same road in the same hope of eternal
happiness in Heaven?and we must
not fall out bv the wav. God forbid that we

Death of Maria Louisa.?This Princess
formerly the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte,
died recently in one of the small

for the distinction, which has been wellsaid,
of being the daughter of a powerful emperor,
the queen of another still more powerful,
and the mother of a king.

dressed, reclining at their ease, with their
drawing, their music, their fancy work, and

lapse of hours, days and weeks, and never
dreaming of their responsibilities ; but as a
necessary consequence of neglect of duty,
growing weary of their useless lives, laying

Journal.
Disguise of Sex for. a Life Time.?One
of the Foreign papers relates the following
singular case as a fact:
"There died at Brussels, says the Home
Journal, a person who had long been in
the employ of the Minister of France,
known by the name of Thomas de Crois
mare, and sixty-eight years old at the time
j of decease. At the washing of the body
previous to interment, it was discovered to be
that of a female. Croisrnare was a lieutenant
at the battle of Moskowa, and was wounded
a', the battle of Waterloo in the shoulder
and mouth. After giving up her commission,
she entered into civil life, held an
office in the cnslom-house, and was book
keeper to two different merchants. In the
serviceofthe Minister of France, subsequenshe
had risen to a post of considerable I
trust.
In social life she was esteemed for her talents
in poetry and music, playing admirably
on the violincello, and giving lessons
gratuitously to several friends. It was
tnougnt to De a nervous peculiarity that she j
was uneasy and annoyed if any one fixed j
his eyes on her very attentively, and her
walk was thought to be rather cavalier.? !
Thomas de Croismare was particularly gal- j
lant inattention to women.and at onetime I
made propositions of marriage to a young j
lady of Brussels, who fortunately declined
the proffered hand.

Wo offer to the citizens of Abbeville and the

FULCRE PRESS. The invention
was not the result of mere chance, but of long
experience and mathematical calculation.
As to powpr, it is equal, if not superior, to
nny no?? in is'?. It r?(j'J!r6s less tim.
ber, easier framed, and put up in less time,
and with l?'ss danger than a screw; and the
Press will last as long as any timbpr protected
from the weather or above ground. From
the number of these Presses which are now in
use from North Carolina to Mexico, we feel
no hesitancy in saying that they will supercede
the Screw; and there are ten of our
Presses up to one of any other, and we fet-1
justified in snying fifty to one. The average
duration of Scn-ws in this District is not
more than four and a half 01 five years, and i
as there is not less than five hundred Screws, 1
see what is paid out in one year.
