It was from this box that she said she had taken three pills on going to bed. He was sorry to say, from a letter received that morning, that Professor Taylor had not yet examined the pills, and, therefore, he must proceed to take such other evidence as might be forth coming. AMERICA. It may be that these extracts will provp tedious, and this fear restrains me from multiplying them. But they are extremely important, as showing that th.e South is calumniated and grossly misrepresented by, those <who pretend to be protecting its in terests, and who assert that she is only pausing in order to gather up her strength to make a fresh stroke for secession. She is trying to retrieve her all but fatale misfortunes, and those alone are her enemies who try to divert her from this duty, and to cause the. Government .to regard her with sus picion.

B rye thus admitted are received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and taught 111 they are 11 years 0: age. With the view +o secure the election of the most deserving cases, the Commitie have from the first discouraged canvas sing, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers. The voting papers contain a description of each case, as care ful y investigated by the Committee, and with t his informa tion the subscribers are able to judge for themselves as to those most eligible for free admission. This Home was opened in April, 1861. It was designed to take ba the little ones whose charact r and circumstances disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender age precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are th se who, from neglect, are already on the roan to ruin. Such are those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and left to beecome Idle wanderers. Such are those whose parents may have at one time or other received parish relief, and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who train their children in the same path. Such are those whose evil associations have already had their painful effect, and must lead them to a life of crime and misery. There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of age to 10. There is room for nearly 10., and the Committee would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait for the necessary subscriptions. The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they ask—ls it right to make a widow and her tamily paupers for li!e because one of them (the naughty boy of the fam ly) runs wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not h 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that the, must ail go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it doing to others as we would they should do unto ns that when these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into the streets, or forte them by ill-Treatment to " ens away," none of us shou d be found to care for them, to speak a kindly word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th , rn ? Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, passing by on the other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's keeper ?" The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi dent from the police statirvica ' which show that in London alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of ace, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom were convicted sad punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too young to punish. though not too young to learn thebeginnings of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-reli- ance and self-help be permanent burdens to the State. The Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the one hand, and the workhouse on tne other, and to endeavour to make them useful members of' society. The daily routine of the Ins.itution presents all the fea tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals, their suitable clothing, their hears of play and amusement, and their singing class. They are treated ns scholars ; every morning is devoted to echo .1 work—reading, and writing, and ciphering, and Scriptural instruction, with occasional lessons in oljects and other subjects. But they are also trained to work. As they must all, anti that at a very early period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow, they are here at once taught habits of industry. So 'he after noons are occupied with va. mus industrial occupations— making brown paper bags for bankers, and white i aper bags for tradesm, n, and door mats and servants' kneelers tor any who will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending the c othes, &c. Some aqtist the master in the garden, digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth.

On Monday afternoon the prisoner in the above case was brought before the Mayor of Salisbury, James Hussey, Esq., and F. Attwood, Esq., at the Council House. He took his place in the dock with a nonchalant air, and the Mayor, addressing him said—William John Storer, you are charged, on the information of Mr. Superintendent Caldow, on suspicion of having caused the death of Emily Sophia Blake, by administering certain poisonous pills to her. The prisoner made no answer to the charge. Mr. William Martin Coates, surgeon, of Salisbury, was then sworn. Ho said—About 12 o'clock on the night of Tuesday, the sth inst., I was sent for to go to the house of Mr. Blake, in Castle-street. I there saw the deceased, Emily Sophia Blake, who was in convulsions. I know of nothing but nux vomica or strychnia that would produce such symptoms. I immediately asked her if she had taken anything that could have made her so ill, and she replied No." I did not tell her that she was dying. Finding that she was likely to die, I requested the attendant to sendfor Dr. Roberts, When he came he concurred in my opinion as to the cause of the symptoms. I was present when the young lady died. On Dr. Roberts asking her if she had taken anything, she said "Dont," I think three times. Her father also asked her, but she made no reply, except that she was dying. At length she said that she had only taken some pills. On Dr. Roberts asking who had given her the pills, she replied, "Mr. Storer." (An exclamation of surprise from the prisoner.) I asked her, then, for what purpose the pills were given her, and she replied, "To keep me well." On my asking for an expla nation, she said, " In my pearliness." Mr. Lee—Did you know Mr. Storer previously ? Mr. Coates—Yes. He was formerly an assistant to Mr. Blake. Is it necessary to state that Miss Blake indicated where other pills were to be found? Mr. Hussey thought not. Sufficient had already been stated to justify a remand. Prisoner—l have a statement which I should like to make. Mr. Hussey—You had better reserve that. Prisoner—Yes, but I have had no chance of saying anything. I am perfectly innocent of the charge against me. Mr. Hussey—Every opportunity will be given you for defending yourself. Prisoner—But it is not a pleasant thing to stop in prison for a week upon a charge of this kind. (Producing a paper.) Shall I read this statement ? The Mayor—You aro privileged to do so, but I should advise you not. . Mr. Hussey—lt may be used As evidence against you. TheMayor—The magignp strongly, udvisos you not to make any statement whatever in the absence of a profes sional adviser. Prisoner—l shall do it whether or not. I never made pills of any kind for Emily Sophia Blake, except compound rhubarb for digestive pills, which I frequently made for her, and which her father and mother sometimes used. As near 'as I can remember, nine or ten weeks ago Emily Sophia Blake came to me in the surgery and said she wanted to consult rue. I Was busy, and said, " Nonsense, I can't speak to you now." She said, " I must speak to you." She said she was two or three days over her time. Would I make up two or three pills for it? She said her mamma was frequently speaking to her about it, as if she believed something wrong, not that I had any intercourse with her, for I had not. I made her some pills, compound of myrrh and rhubarb, and told her to take them at bedtime. I don't know whether she took them the next day, or the day after, but she told me they bad the desired effect. I never made pills for her of a diffe rent drug. She used to take cough pills, in which there was naphthaline, but they were kept in the surgery, ready prepared, and she used sometimes to get them for herself. Of the digestive pills I saw her take one, three or four days before I left. Sometimes she took one beforo dinner. Sometimes I made her 12 pills, and sometimes 24. Shortly after my asking her father's consent to our engagment, her mamma spoke to her in the drawing-room. They were rather against it at the time, and said she ought not to make up her mind so quickly. I was outside my bed room door, and I listened. I heard her say that if she could not have Mr. Storer she would have no one else. I then came away, and came downstairs. She told me downstairs what had passed between her mamma and herself. She told me she would have nobody else but me, and that if her pa and ma tried to alter her she was sure to poison herself. I remonstrated with her, and told her that if they objected I would wait till she was 21. She said she hoped to be mine long before that. Since my leaving Salisbury, on the 17th of last month, I have never sent her medicine of any description, nor a prescription to obtain any. As' regards strychnine, I never had 'such a thing in my Possession in my life. After leaving Salisbury 'I wrote two letters to her when I was ill in bed—so ill that I didn't think I should write to her any more. When I left, on the 17th August, it was considered by ourselves and the family that we were engaged, and that we were to corre spond. It happened that about a week after it was broken off somehow or other. Does it stand to reason—do you think I should have poisoned one who was dearest to me, and to whom I was looking as my future wife ? I swear that I gave her no pills of any kind for five or six weeks before leaving the place, except the digestive pills. She might have had some previous to that. I declare before God and man that Emily Sophia Blake never received any thing poisonous from me during her existence. I didn't know that I was charged with murder until Mr. Lee told me yesterday. Then I didn't know whether I was charged with having shot her or cut her throat. If I had thought of such a thing I would have died with her. When Mr. Caldow came I told him that I know nothing about it, and that I would willingly go with him. Mr. Superintendent Caldow—l read the warrant to you. Prisoner—Yes, but I did not know, until Mr. Coates stated it, that when she was dying she said she had some pills from me.. She formerly had ; but certainly nothing poisonous from my buds. I cannot say that she did not say so, with the intention of hiding the deed she had done with her own hands. She av owed that if the engagement t l h d in e c g la l ro do b n e , f t o t r hin e G k o d I andeve ever saw shall be most h a p py t o cour t was broken off she would poison herself, which s h e a pp ear s t l o h h a a v v e e n do o ne k — no in wl m e , h dg at e. wa l y, i i s n n e ci s the s u i i o r n y surgery, \SvthrStrychnine cr Where andnsihne; gotcwo I r t t s t a h a i n e 1 p y I n l s ever c o n t h a a i n d n e any s t i r n y c m h n y i n P e or s any other poison, I cannot say. If I had given them to her why did she not take them before ? I had been away from the house for three weeks. --- The Mayor—ls that all the statement you have lo make? Prisoner—Yes. The Mayor—Then we remand you on this charge till Monday next. Prisoner—Shall I not be required to be present at the inquest to-morrow ? The Mayor—That will be a question for the coroner. :cud shortly afterwards The prisoner was t lodged in Fisherton Gaol. then removed, The inquest was resumed on Tuesday morning, before B. M. Wilson, Esq., at the house of the deceased's father, in Castle-street. The Coroner said, on hearing that deceased was supposed to have died from the effects of strychnine he immediately telegraphed to Professor Harley, asking him if he could make an analysis. The professor, however, was not in London at the time, and accordingly he thought it necessary to send Mr. Collins, one of his clerks, up to London to Professor Taylor, with whom he had since been in communication. The professor informed him that it would be first of all necessary to obtain the authority of the Home-office kik the analysis. He at once made the necessary application, but had only that morning received the sanction of the Secretary of State to the proceedings. The first witness called was Mr. Thomas John Blake, who said—My daughter's name was Emily Sophia. She was 19 years old in April. I had an assistant by the name of William John Storer. He came to me in October last year. He left ray employment about three weeks before the death of my daughter—l think on the 17th of August. Whilst here he boarded with my family. He was on friendly terms with my daughter, and professed to be paying his addresses to her, but against my wishes. I discharged him for his irregular conduct and habits of intemperance. I gave him notice three months before, but he begged to be allowed to stay on. On Tuesday night I was sent for to go to Harnham a little after nine o'clock. My daughter had not then gone to bed. She kissed me, and bade me good bye. She had gone to bed previous to my return, which was a little after 10 o'clock. When I left home she appeared as cheerful and well as ever she was in her life. She was perfectly cheerful ; in fact, there was no alteration observable in her. She had been out several times during the day. She went out for a walk with her mamma in the evening. About half-past eleven o'clock I was sitting down stairs talking to my wife when I . heard some one screaming. My wife at first thought it was somebody in the street. Then there was another scream, which I knew to be my daughter's. I at once ran up stairs, and found her in a dreadful state. There was no light in her room. My wife followed me up as soon as she had lighted a candle from the gas. I went on without a candle. My daughter vas undressed, in bed. I said to her "Oh, my dear, what is the matter ?" She said, "Oh, papa, I woke up so ill." I said, you shall go and sleep with your mamma to-night, and I will sleep in your bed." I thought she had been frightened, but after the lapse of a few minutes, I found that something worse was the matter. I soon gave up the idea of its being hysteria. She said, " Hold me, hold me," every moment. We held her, and I asked her mamma if she had ever seen her like it before, and she replied, "No, do go for Mr. Coates." ' I at once sent for him. She had had two or three slight attacks of hysteria, but not frequently. Before Mr. Coates arrived I asked her if she had taken anything to cause her illness. She replied, "No, pa; no." There were bottles in the room, but none of them ever contained poison. I was led to make the inquiry in consequence of the violence of the attack. Mr. Coates came in rather more than half an hour after my daughter first alarmed us, and I took him up to the room. I heard Mr. Coates 'ask her if she had taken anything, and she said, "No, no." Mr. Coates took up a glass, and asked what it had contained. I told him it was a glass from which I had just given her a dose of chloro dyne. He said, " Give her another." I gave her 30 minims ;' she had previously taken 25. Neither dose appeared to take effect. I afterwards went for Dr. Roberts, and brought him back with me. This was about one o'clock. My daughter had previously said to her mamma, "What can this bo ? What can this be ? I shall die. I shall die." Dr. Roberts pressed her two or three times to my if she had taken anything, and I believe he added, "Because you are dying." I pressed her also to tell us, and she then replied, " Don't, don't." I said, " What have you taken ?" and she said, "Pills." That was in answer to the inquiry of both Dr. Roberts and myself. We were . both speaking toge ther. I asked her how many, and she said "Three." I said, "Who gave them to you.?" and Dr. Roberts Put the same question. She replied, "Mr. Storer." I then said " When ?" She said, " About three weeks ago, just be fore he left." My wife came forward and- asked, "Have you any more of them ?" She replied, " Yes, there are some in a box in the clothes-drawer." We pulled out the top drawer, in which a box of pills was discovered. I be lieve my wife took them out. Afterwards we found another box, marked " Digestive pills." There was no in scription on the other box. The second box contained only three pills. My daughter had been in the habit of taking digestive pills for some years. The first box of pills was shown to my daughter by Dr. Roberts, and she said it was the one from which she took the pills. She was asked by Dr. Roberts for what purpose the pills had been given her, and she replied "To keep me well." I cannot say whether this was before or after the box was found. She was shortly afterwards ,seized with convulsions, and died about half-past one. By the Jury—She was perfectly sensible for most of 4,„ time rup to the time of her being convulsed.. She had never threatened to destroy herself. By the Coroner—l know that Storor wrote to her two or three times after leaving, but those letters were inter cepted. I read them myself. They were addressed to her here, without any concealment on his part. They were sent back to Storer by my directions on Tuesday, together with everything belonging to him. My daughter took the parcel to the railway station. I have no copy of those letters. By a Juror—She was perfectly willing that the letters and things should be sent back. I did not observe any change in her demeanour in consequence of the intimacy between herself and Storer having been broken off. She appeared somewhat low for two or three days after ho left. He asked my consent to his marriage with my daughter, when we first discovered the existence of an intimacy be- tween them. Mrs. Blake first taxed him with it. I told him that she was young, that I could not entertain his proposal for a moment at that time. Ho told mo he had fully made up his, mind to marry no one o',.se. I still re fused my consent, and told him that being a minor she could not marry contrary to her father's wishes. On a second occasion I told him it must go for twelve months, and that we should see how matters stood then. I was not aware that Mr. Storer had ever prescribed for my daughter, but he had dispensed medicine for her under my directions. I was informed that my daughter's symptoms were similar to those which would be caused by strychnine. I had no strychnine or nux vomica in my dispensary, nor in the house, to my knowledge. The Coroner—Had you any Battle's vermin killer in the house ? Mr. Blake—Not of late. I think there was some kept in the house about three months before Mr. Storer left. I am aware that Mr. Storer had a private medicine chest of his own upstairs, containing various drugs. I am not aware whether that chest contained strychnine. The digestive pills were mixed, in all probability, by Mr. Storer. There were 12 of the other pills left. On searching over the house we found one little document, which has been given to Mr. Superintendent Caldow. [The document was pro duced, and read by the coroner, as follows :—" Miss Blake, at least Mrs. W, J. Storer, must soon follow, or the conse quences will be her husband must go to Salisbury to fetch her sharply."] Mr. Blake said' the document was in the handwriting of Storer. It was found in his daughter's bedroom. Mrs. Elizabeth Blake was then called, and deposed as follows—The deceased was my husband's daughter by his first marriage. She was of a cheerful disposition, and was on very good terms with myself and husband. She was out once alone on Tuesday afternoon, and in the evening for about two hours with me. She did not complain of being unwell, and had no appearance of illness. It must have been about half-past 11 when we heard her scream. I said, "My dear, what is the matter? Are you frightened ?" She said, "Oh, no, mamma; I feel as I have never felt before. 1 awoke very ill, and on getting out of bed found that I couldn't stand." She had another convulsion, and then my husband sent me downstairs for 25 drops of chlorodyne, which she took, with a little difficulty. She did not say that she was to keep secret the fact of her having received pills from Mr. Storer. The box containing the pills was an ordinary pill-box. Mr. Storer showed great temper on ono or two occasions. He did not make use of any threats. My husband told me that when he gave him notice he said he would be revenged. Deceased would not be possessed of any money in her own right until after her father's death. Mr. Blake was displeased with Mr. Storer in the surgery, because of his intemperate habits. Mr. Blake and myself told him that he had better leave, as he was unable to do anything. My husband thought his illness had been produced by drink. The Coroner—Had you any Battle's vermin killer in the house ? Mrs. Blake—About three weeks before Mr. Storer's leaving I think a packet was obtained to kill some mice. A part of it was used. The remainder was used a night or two after Wards, and the paper was burned. We placed it near a hole where we thought a rat came out. The next morning it was gone. That was the only time that Battle's vermin killer was introduced into the house for • some years. Mr. W. M. Coates was then called i and repeated the evidence which he gave before the magistrates on Monday. He added—l made a post-mortem examination of the body on the evening of the day on which she died. I examined the brain and spinal chord, the chest and abdomen, but found no disease. I sent the stomach, and the small in testines, with their contents, a portion of the liver and spleen, some of her blood, and a box of pills to your (Mr. Wilson's) office, with a short description of the symptoms. The whole has since been transmitted to Dr. Alfred Taylor. Poisoning by nux vomica, or strychnine, would leave no traces of strychnine in the stomach. There was great ex travasation of blood in the muscles,which were contracted. Dr. Roberts was the next witness. Ile corroborated the main points of Mr. and Mrs. Blake's evidence as to what took place in the young lady's bed-room immediately pre ceding her death. The symptoms were those of tetanus. The inquiry was then adjourned until Thursday next. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. The tone of all the journals published in the South ern States, and the testimony of every one who has recently been through them, substantiate the state ments I have lately sent you respecting the temper and disposition of the people towards the North and the general Government. But as it is very likely that the class which refuses to believe the late struggle is completely at an end may still deny that Southern opinion has been fairly represented by these state ments, it may be well to bring forward Southern evidence itself on the subject. I have told you that the large body of the Southern people arc heartily rejoiced at the termination of the war, and are anxi ous to do everything in their power to return to the Union and remain at peace. Of course they would prefer to have won, but since the arbitrament which they selected has gone against them, they accept the decision with better sense and judgment than their so-called friends and advocates, and determine not to aggravate the misfortunes of their position by continued and impotent resistance. That this is the true state of feeling may now be proved out of the - mouths of Southern men and from Southern papers. Probably.some far-seeing writer at a distance may declare that this, too, is " incredibly disgraceful ;" but facts, although harder to pick up than large words, are more useful in enabling any one to judge ofthe state of this or the bent of public opinion. To turn, then, to Southern papers. With out overburdening this letter with extracts, brief passages may be gleaned which will show the ten dency of the whole Southern press. " Instead of wanting to try it again," says the Richmond Republic, " the people of the South never want to see or hear of war, either with the' people-of the North or with any other people under the sun." And it goeS on to complain,of the " appalling sel fishness and callous indifference manifested to the Welfare of the privates" by the Confederate Government. If all Europe denied that this latent bitterness towards Mr. Davis exists in the South as well as in the North the denial would not change the fact, palpable to every one in this country who has eyes and who uses them. Without adopting Northern opinions respecting the President of the lath Confederacy, I sought in a ,recent letter upon Mr. Davis to describe and explain them, endorsing only the statement that the evidence of cruelty to wards Federal prisoners in Southern gaols or pens was irresistible. The mass of evidence now being produced in the Wirz trial will show what my au thority was for the latter opinion, and, with regard to Mr. Davis, there is scarcely a public organ in the whole United States which does not own that the people are against bim. The South think he ruined their cause, the North that he supported it too well. Both look upon him with disfavour, and it cannot be unimportant that , the reasons for this sentiment should be fully explained. In the same spirit, as the Richmond paper, the Mobile Tribune recommends the State Convention to support loyal Union men, such, it says— " As see clearly that slavery is as dead as a red herring, and that any attempt to restore it, even 'to a temporary life, will be almost a crime, will hurt the general god, keep the State from the civil rehabilitation which is so im-. portant to its future welfare. . . . We must stand high above our prejudices, and, the modes of thought which we have so sedulously cultivated for the past four years." The Georgia papers are full of appeals toNorthern men of capital to come and settle in that State, assuring them of a cordial welcome, The Richmond Whig be,gs the public to believe that, "'so far as Virginia is concerned, there is not the shadow' of truth in any statement which represents ..the great body of her citizens as other than peaceable, loyal, and subraistive to the Government.". Another Rich mond _paper, the _,Teepubac, _reproaches_ bitterly the -profassed :supporter of the Southern cause In New York, the Daily News, for misrepresenting the South by constantly declaring that the war " is not over." It remarks, " There is no foundation for the sombre pictures of our condition and prospects drawn by the News," -.Even in South Carolina it is declared, by Northern men who have latelypassed through that no trace of enmity is shoWn towards the North. The people say, " We brotight the war about, and, how ever unfortunate - may be the issue for us, we are not going to make it worse by' throwing dirt in the face of the Government." The Constitutionalist, published at Augusta, Georgia, has the following : "It is obvious that the State of Georgia stands to-day fully provided with all the material elements of prosperity; seces sion, war, conquest, and emancipation having neither injured her soil, altered her climate, dammed' her rivers„ nor rendered unproductive those rich natural resourees of every kind wherewith a kind Providence has so amply,endowed her." And it affirms that the people are willing to abide by the issue of the War. The Tennessee journals express similar views, and, indeed, it would be easy to fill columnswith extracts to the purport of those already quoted. • , • , • 'o pass now to what Southern men are saying and doing. There are; plenty of them in New York, and although not pretending to disguise their regret at having lost, they face their present position manfully and resolutely. They are inviting the co operation of Northern capitalists to 'enable them to build bridges and restore roads, and I have been assured by many that there is plenty of cotton yet in the South if it could be got together and brought to market. Information on this point is, however, too vague to justify any positive conclusions. At Memphis a public meeting, consisting exclusively of men who actually carried arms in the Confederate araly,was recently held, and resolutions werepassed acknowledging that the issues raised by the South when it went to war—namely, its right to secede and to extend slavery—had been decided as con- i elusively as by "any of the customary forms of law," and adding, " We regard it as the duty of the people of the South to energetically apply them selves to the work of repairing the losses incurred during the war, to re-create its prosperity, a n d b y every means to develope its resources to their utmost capacity." The meeting also passed the fol lowing resolutions : , 4 That we recognise the abolition of slavery as an inevi table event—a dead institution—and we would not restore it if we could. . . _ “That we do not regret taking the amnesty oath r that we have faithfully. baerved, and that we will zealously and faithfully observe it hereafter. "That wo pledge our honour to give a hearty co-opera tion in the restoration of the civil laws of the United States Government and the Constitution thereof, and will do everything in our power to uphold the same." Thereupon the meeting adjourned. At Richmond a great " mass meeting" has been held, at which the statement that the South was not disposed to yield was indignantly denied, and the following resolution, among others to a similar effect, w as p asse d " That the general temper and disposition of the Southern people, including our own, are to accept and acquiesce in the results of the late sanguinary struggle, and to resume the duties of citizenship in the Union. That the men of character and ability who haye_hitherto influenced public sentimentneither advise nor intend anything different from the discharge of their duties as' citizens of the United States, and are setting an example of full and ready sub mission to the authority of its Government, and counsel a full recognition of the facts of the actual situation, includ ing the accepted and irreversible abolition of slavery." The National Dramatic Executive Committee issues an address from New Orleans, in which it de clares that even " show of opposition to the gene ral Government is extinct," and that, with the ex ception of a few who made profits out of contracts in the late war, everybody desires to make peace permanent. Judge 0. A. Cochrane, who lost all the property he possessed by the war, recently de livered an address at Macon, Georgia, affirming that the people of that and other States had " come out of the war losing everything but honour." went into the war," he said, " on the judgment of human wisdom, to protect slavery ; we came out of it with not a slave to tread our soil." And he gave this advice which was received with applause L e t us qualify, as voters, to aid in the organisation of In the absence of any pressing political news a few b c ao circumstance illustrationscrliuiannnvwittataneayrbe uninteresting.. oaihnlfvaagepwtl. happening snng e iy x ni excessive s riaoht i te r si e pne ur d evan i h ac.

According to, the returns given.. : by f the Tribune there have been 67 disasters on Ameri can railroads during the past twelvemonths, in which 300-persons were killed and more than 600 injured. - The New York Pines, however, gives fuller retUrns; — from which it appears 'that no less than 45 railway accidents have taken place since last April, and that the total number of killed and wounded is - 1,500. . If to these be added the casualties by steamboats_L the aggregate of killed and wounded will not be less T. than 5,000. The Herald gives the number of rail- • way disasters between the -Ist of January and 31st of August as 128, in which 266 persons were killled 'and 1,109 wounded. The Evening Post states that fatal` accidents occurred in the months of July and August just past, the loss ,of life being noless than 77, and the injured numbering 166. Nearly the whole of these disasters were caused by sheer; un deniable, and wilfunieglect. Yet, until within` the last few days, when an unusually horrible accident happened close to New York, scarcely any attention has been paid to these events, the coroner's inquest being solely a matte r o f form; and ending almost as soon as it is begun. The disregard Of human life shown here since the war is certainly most extraor dinary.; It'rather resembles the impregnable 'indif ference which is to be observed among the Mussul men. of India when an epidemic is raging among them than the decent helingwhich is common to civilised and Christian people. A woman commits a murder, and is-riot only acquitted by the jury and kissed i n open court by her counsel, but complimented and flatteredby the judge.. ' Another Woman adveriiies every day in the papers her reagness to destroy children. 1 4 1a6re is no disguise about this Over tisement , it iS so openly expressed that a school girl could not fail to understand it.

Theyjnay like to fancy that they could stop the train , at an l 4 moment. -.ln realitythey find themselveS With 'broken legs or arms before they had any idea of the approach of danger. The' per manent way on nearly every line out of New. York'is now in a condition . which must render disasters not'. , a matter of, chance. but of certainty. The rails, _as I stated in a previous letter, are broken into mere .fragments, and the sleepers are so rotten that they yield to eVerythrust Of a walking stick. The cars oscillate widely from side to side; and jump at a rate which prove that it is not so easy a thing as it looks to cause a railway accident, but that great pains are necessary.. The country roads across the line are not fenced in, .and the level crossings have no gates to them, but merely a notice put up in these words, ".Railway_crossing, look out for cars." This board, it will be allowed, is of no great use after dark. Hundreds of such roads run across'every line. The railway is rarely properly fended in at any part, so -chat cattle stray upon the line constantly: In short, the least disagreeable.accident that can happen:to a railway traveller, especially at this season, is to take 'away with him very-unpleasant mementoes of his journey. All classes being huddled together in one long car—for all men are equal, the tobacco cheiver, .the shoeblack, and the too fastidious Englishman or American alike--the atmosphere is loathsome be yond deseription, and there is almost sure to be a woman who claims the tra*ellefs seat and puts hi m out of it. Such are thought •to be. the privileges of -the sex in America. Behind each.seat is often a projecting piece - of iron, for the stuffed dlePld p traveller's head a to rest against, afoul, greasy, offen sive pad, which could not be fail to be au object of interest to the diligent student of insect life, but must always prove a terror to the tired-traveller. Every now and then the guard walks through the cars, and does not ask the tourist for his ticket, but knocks . him . in the. side if his head happens ,to be turned the other way, .or pinches his arm. This, so far, as have seen, is invariable the man never speaks, but always uses his fist. It' of course, be very ungracious, not to say improper, to repulse these familiarities in a land of equality 'and freedom. There are sleep ing cars to travel in by night, but they are simply storehouses of vermin, and anybody who trusts him self .within them is sure to spend an active and lively night. If by chance he drops asleep the con ductor will 'certainly tap him in a friendly way in the' chest and cry out, " Now, then, ticket!" The indecency of other arrangements in these ma must leave undescribed. The English system of railway travelling, even at its worst —say on the Great . Eastern line—is so far superior to the American that they cannot be for a moment compared with each other; while the sleeping carriages" which we have placed_ upOn our Indian railways are, as a matter of fact, more comfortable than an ordinary bedroom in' a crack New York Hotel--the Brevoort House," for instance—where a stranger on a hot night is 'poked into a cupboard to sleep. Railway arrange _ments in America are far behind those of all the rest Of the world, as all travelled Americans sorrowfully will g b_ p e a many iate d admit.

The Statements which have: been made respe c ti ng ent of fto the regale the the r s e t ro the intention of General Lea to leave :Virginia and take up his home in Europe are. understood to be unfounded.

It is willing to do the first, under certain moderate and reasonable conditions, and to do the latter without any conditions at all. SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—On Monday the Rev. Josiah Rodwell, of Canterbury, while on a visit to his brother, the Rev. J. M. Rodwell, of Clovelly, Devon, de stroyed himself by cutting his throat with a razor. The deceased, who was 50 years of age and in moderate circum stances, had for some time appeared much depressed in spirits, resulting, it is , thought, from. overtaxed energies. An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased was in an unsound state of mind when the fatal act wars committed. 'p H 0 X FORD. 6, OXFORD STREET, W.
