TERRY. [CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK J WADDY Til''MPSON. Ciciicial Waddy Thompson, was for many yea 6 a Representative in the United States Congress from . i .. 1 f\? . ^ imo uongrcssionni uismci, composed of Greenville, Anderson and Pickens Counties. Afterwards ho became Minister to Mexico, under the administration of President Tyler. Ho was the son of Chan c Jlor Thompson, of South Carolina, a great man by nature, and one of the finest looking* men I ever saw. Had his great mind been cultivated and improved as it should have been, Chancellor Thompson might have been one of the great men of America. The Guieml was residing in Edgefield when I commenced leading law at Greenville. lie attended onr courts, however, and soon after wards returned to Greenville to reside permanently. His kindness and cordiality, his talents, wit and humor, a d great conversational powers, completely won my admiral ion and affectionate regard. In after years politics estranged us for Sometime. He became a warm partisan of Nullification, and a bitter opponent to the Union party to which I belonged. We were opposing candidates for Co gress in 1835, and ho was elected. lie had not been in Congress but a short time w hen a schism occurred on tho sub-Treasury between him and Mr. Calhoun, who was then United States Senator, and resided in litis Cong: c-sjonal District. 1 coincided in opinion with General l'liVtn| son on thrssuhjcct, and openly os | > mi sod his cause. I thought, too, ilicro was an ungenerous ef fort to put ltirn down for daring to differ with Mr Calhoun. Judge Whit iter was brought out against hi.-, wishes, as the opposing candidate < f General Thompson. Air. Calhoun took the stump, and can vassed the Congressional District lor Judge Whitner. Dot with all >t his great talents, overshadowing reputation and nnrocrntic power in South Carolina, he proved unequal to General Thompson on the stump. The masses were more pleased with the wit, humor, and anecdotes of flie General, than with tho dry logic of Air. Calhoun,? The election resulted in the defeat of Judge Whitner by n very large majority. Tho Judge, too, was personally one of the most popular men in tho Congressional District. 11 o was an intimate personal friend, and 1 was nufriendly with General Thompson at that lime. 1 did not, however, hesitate Id tlirow naiilrt ni>i-ahnitl o#iiwii lions. ilii-* renewed the friendly relations between General Thump* son and myself, and wo continued ever afterwards fast friends entertaining the same political vjewo. Gcneinl Thompson was a man of rare talents, tact and energy of character. As apolitical electioneer lie can scarcely be said to have hud a superior, llo know human uaturo well, and understood how to approach evory one. In Congress ho was greatly distinguished as a ready debater and partisan leader. On tho8tnmp he had an inexhaustible inud of anecdotes wh ch he applied most elfcetually. Ho said in one of his speeches, that Mr. Calhoun could not tolerate any independence of thought or aotion with his political associates and friends. That he was like an ok! eccentric friend of his, (the General's,) who, in drawing up the agree ineut between him and hie over- t seer, inserted this emphatic expree < sioy : " When I lay go, you arc to < go; when I say trot, you arc to c trot; and when I s?y run, yon are to i run. It General Thompson had i devoted himself to his profession, i he would have been eminently sue- I i cessful as a lawyer. Lie wn-, how- i I nvor wnnlinr# its fltof 1 A %.? , ki>n? imn/i . Hi 'i I patient research which are abso* i lutely necessary (o success at tho i har. As an wlvi cate before the I jury, he was very able and success- i fill. IIis style of speaking was 1 rather conversational, and he displayed very little impassioned eloquence. On his-retircment from public life, he wrote a book on Mexico, which was well received by the i pn'dic, and had an extensive sale. < The intimacy and close friendship 1 between General Thompson and < Col. William C. Preston, Irom the ( time they were in college together i to too death of Col. Preston, almost a half century, was something rare and beautiful. Through I all the vicissitudes of life, and all the ups and downs in ]M?litic*. tliev < were never tor a moment severed ' in feelings. General Thompson was employ ed for a year or two after bis roturn from Mexico, in prosecuting , claims at Washington, utid receive J , scvoral very large foes, amounting , in all to over one linudred thou- j sand dollars, t lie of these claims , was that of Dr. Gardner, for lostc3 ( in mining in Mexico, which turn- * ed out afterward* to he fraudulent ( and unfounded. But General . Thompson knew nothing of the ? fraud at the time. Tho counsel { employed, and the court who heard ] and allowed tho claim, were equal- t )y unconscious of the fraud. I \ heard Senator Evans, of Maine, | who was one of the Judges, say r that the Gardner claim was more < thoroughly and satisfactorily . proven than any claim before the j court. Co!. Payne, of North Car -| olina, told me tho same. I know, , beyond all dispute, that General j Thompson had not the slightest . suspicion of the fraud till the trial < nnu conviction of Dr. Gardner. I ( was assoc iated with Messrs. Brad- | ley Jk Carlisle in the defence of ] Gardner, and I saw tho whole cor- , respoudcnco between General ( Thompson and Gardner before the ' claim was allowed and after it was | established and Gardner had gone < to Euro) o. t Whilst in Washington, attend- ) ing the trial of Dr. Gardner, Gen- t oral Thompson, Governor llamil- , ton and myself frequently visited . tho Misses Fox, who were spirit ( rappers, and witnessed a great many very marvellous revelations. < General Thompson liecaine a firm ; believer in tho spirits, and died in | tl.at belief, Ouo evening, at tho i instance of Governor Hamilton, | the spirit of Mr. Calhoun was call- ( ed up, and tho Governor asked < him if he still believed in the doc- j trine of Nullification. Tiie spirit ' replied 44 yes," at which Governor * II ami Iron expressed great satisfuc- , lion, and said he was glad Calhoun | still adhered to his States Rights " doctrines. < Chancellor Dargan, who was J himself a medium and firm bclicv- , er in the spirits, came to Green- f viUc some years after this, to hold f court. General Thompson carried g him out to his Mountain home, and < for twenty four hours they talked < over spirit rapping* and nothing < else, as the Chancellor afterwards i told me. In tho latter part of his i life, General Thompson would en < tertain his friends and visitors for i hours and dAys, in telling them | the wonderful intelligence communicated to liiin by the spirits. Whilst in Mexico, General i fri?Al?? liO/ktt Si>|S^.aIa I i & iiv/iiii'o' m? ui vniiic i ol t llll iiiiu<u i with President Sun'A A nun. And i had a high opinion of hi* talents. On oiio occasion, he applied to the i President for the release of the ] Texan prisoners. Santa Anna < asked which of the prisoners he i desired to have leleased. The i General replied, u all of them," , and further added, "Iknow that you < will not refuse my request." They c were all released,and among them 1 Samuel Augustus Maverick, a per- c sonal friond of the General's, and c since a Senator in Texas. i General Thompson know per- i Bonally and intimately, most of tho r great men of America, and if ho I had a Bos well to tako down his conversations in reteronee to thctu, they would have made a most in- ( teresting book. I frequently sug- j gcated to him, that lie should oc- i ciidv his leisure time in wri?i?f? Reminilicences ot hi* great cotetu- y porarics. ( A few years before his death, \ General Thompson rnovi d to iiis i plantation in Florida. Whilst on i a professional visit to Tallahas*ee, t he was suddenly taken ill and d>ed. i But r\Pt nntil Ids wife had time to t reach his dying bed and receive < his farewell. Several years before i I us death, General Thompson bo:arae a member of the Episcopal Jbnrch, and spent a govd portion { ?t his time in reading and study- \ ng the Scriptures. His legal mind i 1VK8 constantly suggesting tlifficol i lies in liis reading of tho old Tes i O ITlAtlt RaUIA t tliADA * IVCVy ?? VI C ? VI J j I nmttsing. He pr pounded to sev- | eral of the clergy a query whether < the capacity of Noah's nrk was < sufficient to hold all* the animal* I that were stated to have gmio into j it. And then ho was bothered to I know how all this multitude of an- < itr.als were fed during the time I they were in the nrk. i General Thompson wa9 twice i married. Ilia first wife was n daughter of General Uutler, and lister of Judge Dutlor and Gov- t prnor Puller. 11 is second wife j was Mies Jones, a daughter of i Did. J-?nos, of Wilmington, North j Carolina, who still survives, with ' in only child, William Preston ] riirunpson. He has another son, I William 13.

The whole cost of the 1 jnilding, when completed, cotdd ' lot honestly exceed $3,000,000.? I The committee further report that ' J3.221.000 were paid for armories and drill room#, the real value Vie- ' ing $202,000 ; for lumber, $1G3, [)00 paid, real value $48,000 ; for advertising, stationery and print ing. $7,1 OS,OS ) paid, real value J 1.5000,000. 1/>83 to the city, < $19,519,5SG.

Detroit Free Press, of the * 10th ultimo, says: On the 26th ) iltiino a shocking tragedy occur \ red on tho f.irtn of John Maney, welve miles out on tho Pontiac ood. Mr. Mauey was the owner ' ?f a very fierce bull, the animal i>cing so violent at times that no >no dared to go into tho field a hero he was kept. Tho farmor tad often threatened to shoot the 1 mitnal, as no ono would purchase tin;. It seems that the bull broke ', :mt of his field and got into the | barnyard, where ho was annoying a pair ol steers to snch an extent that Maiicy decided to rit-k the j ' chances iind diivc hint out. He ' entered the 3aid, armed with a itmit eliih, nnd had succeeded in getting the nniinal nearly out ot 1 the yard, when he turned short ilxmt and charged hack at Mancy. I'lic unfortunate man ran tor his ' life, and had nearly reached the fence when the bull overtook him tnd tossed him several tect into 1 lie air. As ho catno down the i utinial ran one ot his horns clear < through the man's head, pinning him last to tho earth, and causing his death in a moment. Iiis wile and daughter witnessed the affair, and the}' did not hear even n groan from the poor man ntter striking the ground. They were of course, terribly excited, and both ran into the yard and tried lo drive the animal away. Still more maddened, tho bull pursued ibcin so closely that both came near being impaled mi his horns, lie then had tlie yard to himself for a time. Whilo the neighbors were being summoned, lie charged back and forth across tho yard, tossing tho corpse on hi* horns several times, and tearing up the fenco in his rage. After help arrive I, it was some time before the (ltMlfl li.'xtv rwtulil 1.0 ineoiw.rt ntwl it presented a sight so shocking that it made the stoutest heart faint. Tiic hull was allowed to live two days after committing the deed, his fit of fury lasting him all that time. Mr. Manov was a well to do fai mcr. and much reelected by ull his neighbots.
