The bringing of matters of this sort, whether with or without just foundation, before the eyes of the world at large, is certainly unpleasant to the ladies. The effect is to prevent sociability and injure society. It 1 may bo proper enough on occasion, when 1 done discreetly, fairly, and with due dis* 1 crimination, to point out individuals in so* 1 ciety and criticize them to a certain extent. 1 Put to connect the names of ladies and gen* 1 tlftinen, and make an exhibition in tho pub* 1 lie journals of their attentions or love af* 1 fairs, is trespassing upon individual rights 1 in society, and will not l>a tolerated at the 1 South.

The New Mexican correspondent of ihe | Washington Union five* the following psci tkoich of llie life end adventure* of Col* Bue lame* L. Collins, superintendent of Indian turn vffnirs for New Mexico: WIU ove Col. James L. Collins, s >perintendont of |,oa Indian affairs for New Mexico,came to this |,ian ?untry in 1827. When llie war with mar Mexico bro'ce out he wa* engager! in the f trading business in theSlate of Chihuahua. WH9 The Americans, after the news of the battle vice i?f L'alo Alto, were ordererl to leave the city fu|f siul State of Chihuahua. lie came to Santa to g Fe, And lemained here until Colonel l>oni- kuo phnu's regiment of volunteers arrived in the wan Territory. Colonel Doniphan had been itn- Thii portuned by the merchants to halt on the jug way at a ceitnin point, in order to protect w|tc the good* of the trader* until they could be viC8 driven otf to place* of security. Colonel and Collins saw at once that this movement fore would give the people of Santa Fe and vi* I Chi cinity time to organize and prepare to de- nen fend the city, whereas, if Doniphan would of li come immediately on, thero would he no j resistance. He accordingly despatched a his letter to Captain Waldo, conveying bis p|ef views as to the be t policy to Ire pursued, mot Doniphan acted on his suggestion, and 9- *ras mediately marched into Santa Fe without arm opposition. Colonel Doniphan then em niei ployed Colonel Collins a* spy, or guide, for Wer Iris regiment, and proceeded on to the frou- to ( tier of Mexico, to join, a* soon as possible, rem Wool's division ? Collin* always going in f0m advance, with a select pxtlv, as scout. Ski The night prev on- to tho battle of Sac- of A ramento Collins w * sent out in one direc- |i? 1 tion and an old Indian hunter, named Kirk, deft in another, to reconnoitre, and report if any 8 o of tho enemy were tola* teen. About tnid- ry, night Collins discovered camp fires; he des- H p patched one of his men to ascertain what it holi meant. Tho man returned and reported but troops. Collin* questioned him closely, wit! and found from his answers that the return to I wa* not sufficiently reliable. He proceeded 8o, cautiously, himself, to within a distance to o'cl see plainly that it was Kirk and hie party, jng who had diverged from the assigned path, |er I * -? ? * * irM m ' -L nuu very imprudently camped III the road, ed and lighted up fires. The scouts thus got '|'ln together, and, Collins leading, went off from he the road and camped. About*daylight he pa] determined to proceed to n small town in hoi advance ol them. Ki?k and the men mur- sail inured, and expressed a wish to return. my Collins made known to them his determi- (Jo nation to go alone, if no one was willing to the accompany him. This somewhat shamed hk? them, and they all joined him, inarched die, forward, and took possession of tho town. hpU After taking some refreshments, Collins and M al one of his men proceeded to an elevated day piece of land, whence they had nn extended 8tHi view of the plains before litem. With the anc assistance of a spy-glass, they discovered at pur some distance troops issuing from a rancbe &isl to the number of about 1,21)0. Collins in- elle slanlly set about communicating with Col. ger Doniphan, nfter taking the precaution to ,jUe ride up the stream of Sacramento, close to mg which ihev were, about a mile, to fiud a pos crossing. This would throw Doniphan's jn ( men about one mile ubove wbere tlie pri Mexicans expected them to approach, and to * where there would be less dilficulty in tn- ed king their redoubts. The Mexicans observ- sco ed Ibis movement, and sent their troops for the ward to intercept it. Just at this time Maj. ( Weightraan, in command of the artillery, ma let fiy one volley into their ranks, which, Col taking them by surprise, drove them back fiod in great disorder. Doniphan marched for- prj waid to the attack, lie bad about 800 ( men?the Mexicans about 3,000. Doni- de* phan sent orders to Capt. lieid. who was in h?< lite command of lliree companies, lo charge det upor. (lie we?tern redoubt, Reid under- gre stood the command to be to charge will ] his own company alone, and gave order* acli accordingly, and, with Collins and Maj. a v Owens, rushed forward, expecting his meu gee to follow. Tlte adjutant observed the inis- bef< understanding, and repealed the original con command for the three companies to ten charge, but Reid did not hear it. Reid, lou Collins, and Owens rode forward amid a the shower of huilels whis.ling around their the heads. Owens fell mortally wounded; ten Reid's horse was shot froin under him, and wit Collins escaped unhurt. The charge was a enl failure, on account of the misunderstanding, tioi The fighting continued from 3 o'clock until nor datk, when Doniphan came out victorious, gre After this engagement he proceded on to ma the city of Chihuahua, Collii.s leading the ! atfe way, which place they took without lesist- j doe ance. Here Doniphan was at a loss to know what fnnlicr to do, as the time of his j seivico In- d nearly expired, lie was some Ilei 800 miles from Taj lot's division, and how win to gel orders to govern his fnttne operations the lie knew not. In this crisis Collins came Du! forward and volunteered to go through to "Hi Sallillo, and communicate with the com- Qui mantling officer, lie selected 13 men and of started. They travelled four or fhe days woi without meeting any serious impediment, clot They rodo ttp to an AlcaJe'n liou>o on the I lei 8th day, whom Collins had known, and Ims inquired for food lor horse and inan. i he gre Aicadecime forth, hut pretending not lo son, know Collins, answered the inquiry very ! of gruffly in the negaiive. Every question The (hat was asked him lie answered in (lie thai shiiio way. Finally, Collins started ofT, hut nail had proceeded but a short distance when one he was called hack anil told he could be don accommodated. Ti u Alcade, who had some inn eight or ten men with him, changed hib Mai tactics and treated the party with reiniuka- acll hie kindness, lie did everything to pro- Ear long his stay. Bui Collins kept hurrying first up his men, suspecting that there was some hav trick in the sudden change of manner. Col tlio lins finally ordered his men to saddle their hut mules. Tlio Alcade stepped up to him and it w told liiin that lie had orders to stop him, hell and that ho could not go. By this time M. . ?<>mo sixty armed Mexicans ha I surrounded In t die house. Collins sternly commanded his Mr. men to lead their horses into the road and mar mount. They did so, the Alcade all the Coll lime telling Collins not to go?if he did, of a riolence would follow. Collins told him redi le was going. The Alcade asked hiin for wha lis pass, lie laid his hand on his gun and ings esponded, "Here is my pass, sir," and and, nounting his horse he and his men rode the ilowly off in the faco of four times their min lumber of the enemy. * wen He reached Wool's division, at Buena l',er /ista, 800 miles, in 18 days, encountering ',ea' rarious impediments similar to the one hero wor' elated. An express wns despatched to Taylor to receive orders for Doniphan. L. le was commanded to come on down, and H,,d jo out by way of New Orleans. Collins nd his men started back, and reached )onipban's command in 15 days after lea?eg Buena Vista, undergoing many priva- he * ions and hardships.

Collins told bint money ai not a consideration with him in a ear- ti of that kind; that, if he could be use- si he would stay. Wool expected then w 0 on to San Louis Po.osi, and Collins b< wing well the whole country, Wool tl ited the advantage of that knowledge, aj 1 move was not made, and Collins, bo- ci anxious to return and meet Qen. Pi ice, ti ire he thought he could be of more ear- tl i, he selected nine men and a negro boy w started on his hazardous journey. Be- rr they bad gotten within 100 miles of it huahua two of bis men deserted. On si ring a small town he rode rapidly ahead s< lis men, and seeking the Alcade inquir- w f he oould be furnished with food for T men and animals. He received a very w isant reply in the affirmative. lie dis b jilted, and, in loss than five minutes he t< surrounded by at least three hundred tl led Mexicans. Of course, he and his h i bad no chance of escape, and they o o taken prisoners. Collins was taken p Chihuahua. This was in October. He si lained in confinement here belter than tl r months, during which time, with young N nner, a brolher-in law of Senator Polk, f< lissouri, whom he found in prison there, i> made several attempts to escape, but was n ;aled in his purpose, until finally, about it clock one night, in the month of J a nun- q 1847, be succeeded, by the assistance of n icket-pin and butcher knife, in cutting a i< e through tlio adobe wall, lie was out, n did not know where to go. The fiiend ii h whom he had made the arrangement e tare ins mule ready for hitn failed to do l< and he strolled about town until 11 ti ock, passing the troops who weie look- ti for him frequently. Finally, the host- a came down to the stable. He approach- j< him, and told him he wanted his mule, c ) man said ho could not give him up; if g did, he would bo shot. Collins drew the r Icet pin from under his blanket. And, e ding a ten-dollar piece in his left hand, v 1: "Now, sir, if you will let me have d mule, I will give you ten dollars; if you ii not I will kill you."

J Fnuu Ixvluxxc*.?Besides the unoubted geoerel ioflueoee of e geotlo char- ii ster naturally exerted by the tender over ( le rougher aex, there ie a special ascenden* o r gained by some superior minds, which e lay or may not be beneficent, according to c is geniife, principles, and character of the t idividual. From the natural vanity of the r ix, great intellectual power becomes dan- I erous, as not being under sufficient train* p ig and regulation. Ordinalily, women c re not expected to step out of that domes- l< c sphere, iu which they are most fitted to a line, but sometimes they are tormented t ilb another sort of ambition?such as to L ecome authors, or reformers. As such, <i ley are almost sure to adopt a tone of ex- 'J [rgeralion and fictional representation, be- t iuse in them the faculty of the iniagiua- c on is so much more strongly developed t tan that of the judgment. We know not t by that misnomer?"strong minded" wo- ] ten?has become so popular, unless indeed I be used as ironical, but we regret to see s Jch terms used even in jeet towards that t ix, for whose dignity aud delicacy we r ould ever hold them in respectful regard, c here have, in reality, been strong-minded i omen in this age, which threaten now to t ecome so weak and fusay, so full of pre- t Mision, and so barren of results. Among < liese we would name Ilannah More, whose f igli character and example are in danger c f being forgotten amid the ambitious and t relenlioua reformers of these limes. Of the t late of religious knowledge, even among i lie higher classes, in the days of Hannah t lore, some idea may be formed from this *] ict. When Sir Joshua Reynolds had fin- i >hed bis celebrated painting, "Samuel," < uineroua visitors flocked his studio to seo ., and among them several proposed the ueslion, "W ho was Samuel!" The runners and morality of the period were said ix lin in L'nnninrs wi*h ? . I I #I.!?. I ~ ww ... mm ouv.il uovitruuituio r orance. In short, it was tliu fashion to be t ireligious and immoral. Then arose this i xcellenl lady, not as much to denounce, as ] o instruct. She called no public conven- > ions to reform the inaniers oi the agu, but | nodestly grasped the weapons of truth, nd skilfully used them for her great ob- t ect. Taken at a young age froin the quiet oleries of Bristol, and introduced into the < ;ay whirl of London society, she was ca < essed by the witty, the great and the leant- i d, but her keen sense of right and propriety ras not blunted, and while the world en- 1 leavored to win her to its side, she became I 11 the process more strongly entrenched in i ier principles. This was the secret of her un* lloyed good influence upon her generation. I 'hough the mending of people's hearts, she ought the augmentation of their happiness, > ind her efforts were crowned with disttu;uished success. There was no degree of owliness in the condition of humanity to rhicb she would not patiently stoop for the 1 ake of instructing the ignorant and eleva- i ing the degraded. She did not deal in i ictilious pictures of woe, nor inflict on the t uonc any history of private, mental or loctrinal aberrations, but addressed herself i lireclly to "the business and bosoms of i nen." What we want among our Amerian women, who would aim at publicity or eally seek to dogood, is a more finely balmced character. Not only should the in- | ellectual and the imaginative be better proloitioned, but the efforts of the mind should e directed in the channel of real philan- i hropy. Our revolutionary women were rue heroines, not indeed on the battlefields, tor in high council, but amid the sanctities ind calamities of home, its solitude and requctil destitution. They gilded their , iu>bands and brothers for the arena, and ent them many a token of encouragement n their long and wearisome absences from he hearthstones they loved. If the women if our country would lise in the meekness aid majesty of their nature, and resolve hat the Union shall be jxrpetual, the eerainty of what wa regard as a great proba i >iliiy would at once he sealed and ratified. 0 llie joy of Hi 1 our friends, anil the disap ointment of our enemies.?Journal of | Commerce. i North Pembina Wants to dk Annex :o.?Capt Kennedy, who whs sent to the ted Hirer of tha north by the Canadian government, to learn the condition of the >eople of that region, and to observe the vorkiogs of the Hudson's Hay Company, iRt lately returned, and informs the Sujx ior Chronicle that the settlers along the , ted liiver have been very much oppressed ,nd ill-treated by the Hudson's Hay Compa iv, and have made know n their ca?e to par* lament.

It is stated that 1 nry the Second, of France, was the first n a wore silk stockings, and this was 011 n occasion of his sister's wedding to the ke of Savoy, in 1500. Howell, in his *" istory of the World," says that, in 1550, r sen Elizabeth was presented with a pair ' Muck silk knit stockings by her silk- ' nan, Mrs. Montague, and she never wore r h ones any more. He also adds, that " iry the Eighth wore ordinaiily cloth ^ e, except there came from Spain, by . lit chance, a pair of silk stockings. His , Edward the Sixth, was presented a pair *' long Spanish silk stockings, by Sir Cl Unas tiresham. Hence, it would seem * I the invention of knit stockings origi- n y came from Spain. It is stated that a William Kider, an apprentice on Lon- 8J Bridge, seeing, at the house of an Italmerchant, a pair of knit stocking*, from r< itua, took the hint, and made a pair ex y like them, which he presented to the o I of I'einbroke, and that they were the jr of that kind worn in England.
