New Publications. Life and Correspondence of John A. Quitman, Major General U. S. A., and Governor of the State of Mississippi. By J. F. H. Claiborne. II vols. New York: Harper & Bros.--This work is written with the wonted spirit and eloquence of the author. It is one of very considerable interest. Gen. Quitman was of Dutch descent, and was born and educated in New York. Of a phlegmatic race, and brought up among a practical and methodical people, with early training of a decidedly Federalist turn, it is a little singular that he became a star among what were called the Southern fire eaters, and longed to see the South independent. He was a man of ability, with some of the traits of greatness, and of unimpeachable reputation for honor and integrity. His own life takes in some important events in the history of his country.

Brooke, knowing the same to have been stolen.--Moore having learned from Minor, the negro who stole the carpet, that he had sold it to Henry, went to his master's kitchen and searched his room, in which he found several pieces corresponding with the carpet which had been lost. The Mayor, at the conclusion of the evidence, ordered Henry thirty nine lashes. Minor, the negro who stole the carpet, was ordered to jail
