BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF GENERAL JOSEPH LANE. Joseph Lane, the second son of John Lane and Elizabeth Street, was born in North Carolina, on the 14th of December, 1801. In 1804, tho father emigrated to Kentucky and settled in Henderson county. He had tho benefit of hayng sprung from revolution ary Block, and if he learned little else, im bibed many stirring lessons of patriotism and its glorious results from the elders who surrounded the beaithstono of his boyhood. At an early ago be shitted lor himself, and cutcred tho employ of Nathaniel Hart, Cloik of the county Court. In 1810 he went into Warwick county, Indiana, became o cicik in a mercantile nouse, married, in 1820, a young cirl of French and Irish ex traction, and settled on the banks of the Ohio, in Vnnderburg county. .. . . loung Lan? soon became the man xif the pcoplo among whom ho had cast hie lot. In iS22, then barely eligible, he was elect ed to the Indiana Legislature, and took his seat, to tho astonishment of man older worthies. Hon. Oliver II. Smith, a new member likewise, and since a United States Senator from 1S37 to 1843, describes, in a work recently published, the n.ppcaruiice of Lano on the occasion. "The roll-calling progressed as I stood by the eitlo of the cleik. 'Tho county of Vandevburg and Warwick !' said tho clerk. 1 bw advanc ing a slender, freckled faced boy, in appear ance eighteen or twenty years of nge. I marked his step as he camo up to my side and have often noticed his air since, it wis Gener&l Joseph Lane, of Mexican and Ore g3n fame in after years." On the Ohio, Lano lecamo extreme! popular as a good neighbor and a man of enlarged hospitality. Near his dwelling, the river lias a car, which never tails at low water to detain a small fleet of boals. Lur.c's farm house had ever its doors open; an invitation was extended to all to come and help themselves, the hoft never consent ing to receive remuneration, though hun dreds have partaken of his store. Any boatman on the river, says a reliable in formant, felt himself, at liberty to take any (if his boats fir temporary uso without ask ing,. Such was Joseph Lane on his home stead. Acquaintance with river life mnde mm a good pilot of the Ohio and Misns-.p-pi rivers, which gained him an additional meed of respect from tbo "river-men." As farmer, produce-dealer, and legislator, many years rolled over his head, every year adding to his popularity as a man, both in his private and public capacity. He was frequently re-clcclcd by the people, and continued to" serve them, at short iutervals in cjthcr bianeh of the Legislature, -for n period of twenty-four years. . Mr. Lane was a fearless legislator, always acting from a conscientious belief in the truth of his views, and following them up with spirit a'fld undevialing vigilance. Tboso who arc best acquainted with this portion of his career delight to dwell upon the zeal and tenacity with which be upheld tho trusts confided to him and denounced, the wrongs which threatened to thwart hi designs for good, lie is however, i man of deeds rather thau words, though he does not lack t lie power to express his views clearly and forcibly'. A ever in lavoi of expediency, he was al ways for what seemed right to him. When it was thought that Indiana, overburdened with debt, would bo compelled to repudiate tho prospect of the disgrace Which would thereby result to tho State aroused all bis indignant energies. Ho would not hear of such a thing. Ho felt it would be a dis grace to him as a working-man with the will and tho strength to labor, to repudiate a debt. ' What was it, then, -to a State of which ho was one of the" representatives? He toiled . untiringly, to avert it and had tho satisfaction of seeing bis efforts success-. ful. In politics General Lano has always been of tho Jefferson and Jackson school. Pos sessing a strong intellect, and a memory re tentive or tacts and quick to uso them, he has becomo thoroughly acquainted with the history and politics of the countiy. Mr. Yulse observes, "he has written with his plow and sword, and spoken by his deeds ; and, though unused to the ornaments of rhetoric and literature, 4io is nevertheless powerful in debate, and especially well qual ified in political and residential contacts on tho stump to overwhelm tho opponents of Domocracy." He supported Jackson in 1824, '28 and, '32, gave his voice and encr.. gics for Van Duren in 1836 and '40, "as long as tho latter lollowed -nn tho tootstcps of his illustrious predecessor,"' and went for Polk in 1844. His activity and earnest ness were coutagious, and could not but in fuse into those about him, and into the pub lio men of tho State generally, the spirit which had led him to so honorable a prora ipence. In the Spring of 1846, the war commenced between tho United States and Mexico, and a call was mado upon Indiana for volunteers. Lane, then a member of the Stato Senate, immediately resigned, and entered Captain Walker's company as privato. Ha chose Walker as his commander, having a high opinion of his bravery, an opinion which that gallant offi.oer's' conduct and death at Ducn Vista completely justified. Wben tho regiment, met at the rendezvous, New Albany, Joseph Lano was taken from the ranks by tho unanimous voice. of the men, and placed at the bead as colonel; and in a very few days afterward ha received un sought and unexpected by him a commis- Uod from President Polkas brigadier-gen eral, 4 On the 9th of July he wrote a letter of acceptance, and entered on the command of the three regiments forming his brigade. Ttfo weeks after, (24th of July) he was at the lsrazos, with all his men, and concluded announsing his arrival to Gen. Taylor in these words: "Tho brigade I have the hon or to command is generally in good health and fine spirits, - anxious to engage in active service." On the 20th of Aucust, ho wrote to Major-General Duller, claiming active service. His brigade did not relish being left in tho rear to garrison towns or to guard provisions and military stores, while the regular army, and tbo volunteers alieady or dered on to Camargo, would have the honor of being actively engaged. "It was under stooi," wroto Lane, "when we arrived ct Brazos, that tho regiments of volunteers would bo moved on toward tho enemy in the order in which they arrived. Such ordeis have been observed, with two exceptions, both operating to the prejudice of this brig ade." Ac. Lane had r.n idea that the Indiana men were raised to do some fight, and he was im patient of delay. The second day after his letter to JJutler, ho wrote again to General Taylor complaining of the advance of troops out of their order of precedence. Without being disrespectful, ho demanded for his command a share iu tie dangers and honors of '.ho active service. He requested that, if the tcliole volunteers corps was not needed on the scene of action, a pari of each State's troops be selected. l)f spite bis anxiety to go on, ho had to remain several months, in a most irksome mood, on the swampy banks of the Rio Grande, where bis troops, suffer ing under the sweltering sun, were dscima tcd by the pestilential diseases of the climate. He was almost the only man of the brigade who was not prostrated at some time. At length he wss ordered to Saltilln. and was made civil and military commandant of that post by Maior General Dutler. Here be established a vigilant police, protecting life and property,' and built a Btrong fortifi cations to provide against the threatened de scent by Santa Anna. It was owing to the watchful care of his confidential scouts and spies, secured by liberal pay out of bis own pocket, that ho was enabled to communicate the first intelligence of the capture of Major Gaine's command. Wbib in commaLd at Saltillo, General Lano perfoually visited each picket-guard nightly, thus presenting Albany and Evansvillo greeted him, while his appearance everywhere commanded and elicited the most enthusiastic admiration. An order to join Taylor's line, however, al lowed him but a short season of repose in the bosom of his family. Having been transferred to Gen. Scott's line of operations, Le reached Vera Cruz with his command on the 10th ot fsepteinljer, 1847. On the 20th, he set out for tbo city of Mexico, at the head of two thousand five hundred men. At Jalapa this furce was in creased by Maj. Lally's column of one thousand men, and at Perote by a company of mounted riflemen, two of volunteer in fantry, and two pieces of artillery. At this time Col. Childs, of the regular army, was besieged in Puebla by a large force under Santa Anna. Childs knowing the impor tance of the post, nobly held out ; and hi? officers and soldiers, animated by a like spirit, exhibited the most heroic fortitude under numerous privations. They knew that to gain time was to gain victory ; for Lane was marching to their relief. Santa Anna, also aware of Lane's approach, used every exertion to carry the place by storm. Failing in, tins, he cautiously withdrew the main body of his troops towards. Iluamanila, intending to attack Gen. Lane in the r.ar when be bad passed that point, while anoth er force would assault him from tLo direction of Puebla. Lane's scouts, however, were neither deaf nor blind. lie divined tb Mexican's plan and frustrated it. Leaving bis train at Pt.n Antonio Tninaris with a suitable defense, Lane marched against Ilnaniantla with over two thousand men. On the morning of the 9th of October, the peo ple were startled by tbo approach of soldiers. White Hag were immediately displayed ; but had t no advanced guard, under and Atlixco, to the Governorship of Oregon, and thence to a seat in Congress he has displayed the same high characteristics, perseverance and energy. The annals of our country present no parallel for these faets. You entered the army, a volunteer in the ranks, looking for ward only to the career of a common soldier, and left it a major gsneral, closing yoar ardent and bnUnint services in tiiat memorable cam paign by tiirhting its last battle end capturing its last enemy." bucli is our candidate tor ice-rresment. We mnst acknowledge our indebtedness to the book entitled, "Our Living Representa tive Men," by John Savage, Esq.. for several extracts, which -wo have embodied in tnesc sketches. Proverbial. Proverbs are the extract of tho wisdom of ages. As the story of a booby may be told in a Biugle one of 'its pages, and the pith ot that page reduced 10 a single paragraph, so the history of the human heart which comprehends the record of mankind the experience of ages can be and is told in those proverbs which have been transmitted from timo immemorial to present days. Tbo entire history and future to the world is nowhere so well told as in that old sentence: It has been; it is; it will be. Nowhero is the power of the omnipotent so truly and well expressed as in the simple word Eternity! and the contemplation of it opens his wonders to tho brain-sight of our minds. Tbo following, amonast the least known but truest of 'volumes iu words,' require no further introduction: Speech is tho gift of all thought of few. Humble wedlock is better than proud virginity. Time is the Herald of Truth. , ; No man is so old but be thinks he may to his men a fruitful example rf vigilance. fter the battle of Monterey, Lane was or dcrod.to join General Taylor. J he famous battlo ot Jniena lata wa fought on tho 2'2i and 23d of February, 1817, Gen. Lano was third in command, and served on the left wing. From the begin ning to the end he was in the hottest of the fight. On the morning of the 23d, Lane had the honor of opening the continuation of the Rattle, oh the plaiu, wlicro he was at tacked by a for.'o of from four to five thous and infantry, artillery and lancers, under Gen. Ampudia. At tbis crisis. Lane's force was reduced to four hundred men; and with this phalanx he received the Mexican pr.se t. "Nothing," writes an eyewitness, "could exceed the imposing and fearful appearance of the torrent of assailants which at this moment swept along towards the little band of Lane. Tbo long lines of infantry pre Fcntcd; a continued and unbroken sheet of fire. Dut their opponents, though few in number, were undismayed, and defended their position with a gallantry worthy of tho highest praise. Several times I observed the Mexican lines, grilled by the American musketry and shattered by the ioartul dis charges from O'Drien's battery, break and fall back ; but their successive formations beyond tho ridge enabled them to force the mon back to their position and quickly re place those who were slain." All the print ed authorities on this great light, as well as parties with the gallant brigadier from In diana;' unite in extolling his conduct in gloWing terms. As Lane commenced tho fight on tho 23d, so was he in "at the death." The Illinois and Kentucky regiments, suffering sorely, wore falling back under a terrible charge by tho collected infantry cf Santa Anna, when Lane, though wounded, catao up with the Indiana men, and with tho Mississippi men under Col. JelTcrsoh Davis, opened a de structive firo upon the Mexicans, cheeked their advance, and enabled the retreating regiments to forjn and return to the contest. Failing to pierce the American centre, Santa Anna retired from tho field. In this battle, whero all were heroes, it is tho more honorable to find Lane, with four or five others, particularly noticed. Here is a picturo of him: "When the grape and musket-shot flew as thick as hail over and through tho lines of our volunteers, 'who began to waver before tho fiery storm, their bravo general could be seen fifty yards in advance of tho line, waving his sword wi'h an arm already shattered by a musket ball, streaming with blood, and mounted on a noblo charger, which was gradually sinking under tho loss of blood from five distinct wounds. A brave sight indeed was this !" Major General Wool, writing to Lane, May 23. regrets that ho is about to loso his valuable services, and testifies to his readi ness to do honor to his command, bis coun try, and himself. Again, July 7, Wool writes, "1 have seen you in all situations at the head of your brigade, in the drill, andiu the great battlo of tho 22d and 23d ot Feb-, ruary ; and in tho course of ray experience I havo seen fow, very few, who behaved with more zeal, ability and gallantry in the hour of danger." And General Taylor, in his report, says, "Brigadier Gen. Lane (slightly wounded) was activo and aealous throughout tho day, and displayed great coolness and gallantry before the enemy." Remaining encamped near tho battle field until June, he was ordered, with his brigade, to New Orleans, where the latter was dis banded, its term of service having expired.

Having rejoined his train, General Lane arrived at Puebla on tho 12th ot October. Lane's campaign, from the departure from Vera Cruz up to this point, was a series of brilliant movements and victories. A sur geon attached to his command wroto home, that no writers only the soldiers could tell with what ingenuity and bravery Lano eon ducted his handful of men. "I never," he adds, "belore could understand how cowards among the youths of 'these degenerate days,' "It becmes a young man to De moaest.

This journey cost the Government nothing General Lano not ma king any charge for his expenses; besides which, he aided largely in subsisting the troops, the greater part of the time, with the product of bis rifle, as he was both the pilot and the hunter tor the party. The Indians of Oregon of whom there were between fifty and sixty tribes kept the Whites in a constant state of jeopardy. The progress and settlement of the Territory were greatly impeded by their depredations. In 1850, a formidablo outbreak took place on Rogue River, in the southern part of Oregon. Governor Lane took tho field in person, col lected a force of settlers, mineis, a few officers, and men of the regular army, attacked the Indians at labloKock, and, after a desperate conflict, in which ho was severely wounded, drove them from their position. Following tbis success up with bis accustomed vigor, he so soverely chastieed them that they were lad to accept any terms ot peace. As Delcgato from" Oregon, Gen. Lane was unremitting in bis advocacy of tho inter ests of the Territory, and untiring in his efforts for her admission into the Union. That day Oregon was admitted to tbo sister hood of States, and that night the Federal City was alive with festivity in honor of the event. A band serenaded the President, Vice Presi dent, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, General Lane and others. In response to a call, Governor Stephens introduced General Lane now Sena tor elect from tho State of Oregon to the people, llo made a brief speech, in which be said that a bulwark had been raised on that day on the shores of the Tacitm against for eign invaders, and a fresh assurance given of) tho perpetuity of the Union. While Governor Lane was in Oregon, he was named for the Presidency by the conven tion assembled at Indianapolis to revise the State Constitution of Indiana. Iho Demo cratio Stato Convention, which met Feb. 24, 1852, formally presented his claims for the Chief Magistracy, pledging the Tote of the State to him. On Ins arrival in Indiana trom Oregon, he had a publio recoption, at which, in the course of an address of welcome, Gov ernor Wright thus briefly viewed the career of the guest of the day : " He has been the artificer of his own fortunes; and, in his progress from the farmer on the banks of the Ohio and the commandant of a flat- to exercise judicial functions over American An apparently unsophisticated youth went into one of tho saloons a few days ago and asked for something te appeaso his hunger. The keeper gave him a very good dinntrj after which the youth said : 'If you ever come our way call.' 'That won't do, your dinner is a quarter, said the keeper. 'O I hain't got any money, but if jott ever come up to Altjgany county, I'll giva you a better dinner for nothing.1 'Why said the keeper, you are very cool.' Why yes I'm a cool chap, so much so my mother keeps me standing in the pantry during tbo hot weather to keep the meat from spoiling. . 4 . . Woman's Laugh. A woman has no. natural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like sound flutes upon tho wa ter. It leaps from the heart in a cleaf sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it fcvls as if bathed in a cool exhilarating spring. Have you ever pursued an uuseea fugitive though tbo trees, led on by her fairy laugh now berc now there no lost now found f The Old Coiter Cent. Gen. Dix, tho Postmaster of New York City, has given orders to all his subordinates at the central office and its various branches that no nioro old copper cents should bo paid out, though this cumbersome coin will be received as usual. The object is to secure its return to tbo U. S. Mint. boat to posts of honorable distinction-to a seat in the House of Representatives and in the Caught at Last. At last we have caught the real cause of tho cattle disease as con tained in tho letter of a Boston Medical Fac ulty, as follows : "ofliltration into and thickening of the interlobular tissue and exudation into the bronchial vesh and air cells." What a difference a little learning makes. On the 23d ult., Mr. William Stanley, living about four miles south of Hickory riain, Ark., was murdered by his negro boy, who immediately fled.
