VOLUME XI.-NO, 16 Eloquent Letter from a Southern A Letter from Mississippi. The foltowing letter should be earnestly pondered by all whose welfare the truths uttered in it may concern. The writer does not give his name, but we know who he is, and we can say that Mississippi has no truer or purer or more substantial citizens than he. If his warnings were foe her, they would fca too late, but Kentucky may well heed words of warning from one, who, living in the midst of the consequent ces of disunionism, is well .qualified tq speak of them froita personal knowledge.

PLACE, WIIOLES ALE GROCERS, "Well, if you will persist, my dear," I •eplied, in staying at home and making a servant of yourself, I don't know what I can do to relieve you. Now, I have an idea about children which is, the more you do for them the more they expect you to do. Never argue with a child or a woman.— Whip the one and leave the other." "Everything is 'going to the badnothing heard pf but secession, revolution, starvation and war, with all its attendant horrors. I almost dread to pick up a paper now-a-days; and yet for my life I can't keep my hands off them. You oan scarcely see one without finding in it some account of the putting down of the dear old flag for which our fathers fought and died, beneath whose protection we have lived so happily; the rending asunder of hallowed ties ; the funeral dirge of beloved and time honored institutions. And what can we look for in its stead ?— Nothing but desolation, anarchy and blood. In the last Crusader I saw this little paragraph : 'It is a singular coincidence thst the grandfather of Maj. Robert Anderson was an officer in the American lines at the seige of Charleston in 1780, by tho British army, when it was captured by Cornwallis, their commander. Lighty-one years have passed away, and thet town which the grand-: father fought to save' is now in arms against the grandson." In another paper I see it stated that General Clinch, the fathcr-ln-law of Maj. Anderson, is the commander of the secession forces at Charleston. These are some of tho first fruits of disunion—the rending asunder of natural ties, the arraying of parent against child ; and brother against brother, in a bloody, inhuman, fratricidal war.

"I see plainly by your manner of answering mo, that you have no intention of coming home before eleven or twelve o'clock. I am certain it is your purpose, after dinner, to go to a place of amusement. I should think it would be enough for you to dine away from your wife, and not leavo her alone, with only her sad thoughts, all the evening.

My eyes overflow as I write, and the burden of tears lies heavy on my heart all the day long.

Never would I believe that those clarion notes, that once sent the blood bounding through my veins, would ever fall go like a wuil of despair upon my ear.

Tribune tells this story: A prominent gentleman in this State told me on unquestionable authority, a reminiscence of the days of nullification. It seems that Governor Letcher, of Kentucky, who sympathised with the aullifiers in 1832, called upon General Jackson to learn if possible, what thp General intended to do toward crushing Calhoun's conspiracy against the Union. The Governor opened the subject mildly, and Jackson only answered by telling Letcher to read a certain instrument of writing on the table before him. Letcher read it and found it to be a warrant for the execution of John C. Calhoun. "But, my dear General, you don't intend to parry out what this paper calls for?" f'Governor Letcher, is my name signed to that paper?" "Yes, General, it is." "Very well, Governor, it i? yory seldom I sign papers merely for effect. Look on the left corner of the paper; is the seal of the United Statps to it?" "It i?, General." Governor Letcher visited Mr. Calhoun after he left General and awakppipg |)im out of his sleep, related to nim his interview with Jackson. Gov* ernor Letcher alleges that Mr. Calhoun assumed the appearance of a ghost, when he heard what General Jackson intended to do, and nullification lost all its venom fVom that hour. General Jackson said on his death bed that he had onfy one thing to regret, and that was that he had not hung Calhoun. TO COAL OPERATORS. Wc keep on hand a beautiful stock of LAMPS, BRITTANN1A.
