all the big folks, from the (now) Lieutenant General (who practises Mexican tactics from the house-tops in Washington,) including Worth, Twiggs, &c., down to our friend Beauregard, the youngest officer in the room. The debate went on for hours. Scott was solitary in his opinion. Every other officer present, except one, had spoken, and all concurred in their views. The silent one was Beauregard. At last Gen, Pierce crossed over and said, "You have not expressed an opinion." "I have not beenin its favor with equal earnestness. The Council reversed their decision. The City of Mexico was entered according to the plan urged by the young Lieutenant, and it would seem that his reasons influenced the decision. A few days afterwards General Scott, in the presence of a number of general officers, alluded to Lieutenant Beauregard's opinion at the Council, and the consequences which had followed from it. The position now so promptly assigned to Gen. Beauregard is a just tribute to h

When I look upon your faces, and hear your voices, your cheers, I feel that I have that reward.

history of Diomede, driven from home by his wife, and the substitute for her husband whom she had taken during his absence — all these are but the histories of hundreds of Knights, who left behind house, lands, and family, to engage in a wild and ruinous war, and returned to find themselves undone forever. The crusades gave rise to the race of bards, who sung the exploits of their patrons at every feast.--Such was Blondel, the bard of the Lionhearted Richard. Such, in the splendid novel of Scott, was Cradwallon of the hundred lays. Such, no doubt, were Phemius and Demodocus in the Odyssey, and Thamyris in the Iliad. The songs of these bards had doubtless been transmitted, by recitation of their successors, to the time in which Homer lived. Out of these materials, no doubt, he formed the great works which are without a rival in all literature. We mean not to enter into the Homeric controversy. But we cannot forbear making a single remark. If it be true that the Iliad (at le
