A WARNING TO " UNCLE ABE."—In the vici-
nity of Washington, after the Confederate raid, the follow-
ing brief note was found tacked to a tree :—" Near Wash-
ington, July 12.—Now, Uncle Abe, you had better be
quiet the balance of your administration. We only came
near your town this time just to show you what we could
do:; but,
if you go in your mad career, we will come again
soon, and then you bad better stand from under.--Yours
respectfully, TUEWORST REBEL YOU EVER SANT.-58th
Virginia Infantry,"
MRS. YELVERTON AND HER LITERARY EMPLOY-
MENT.—The following
letter is addressed by the
Hon. Mrs Yelverton to the editor of the Aberdeen Free
Press :—'6 Sir, —A most erroneous statement, copied I be-
lieve from your journal, is now going the round of the press,
and as it is calculated to do me some injury, I hope you will
kindly allow me to correct it through your medium. The
facts are simply
these—One of my junior counsel having in
bis possession a short manuscript story of mine called
Yarns from a Yacht,' sold it for the sum of ten pounds.
The publisher changed the title to Tales of the Squares,'
thought what a yacht had to do with the squares I am at a
loss to explain. My counsel subsequently informed me
that the purchaser would be glad to make an arrangement
with me to write similar tales for a publication he was
bringing out, and the remuneration was to be £3OO a year.
I agreed to this, being wishful to maintain myself in inde-
pendence by my pen or brush. I think it will be easily
understood that during six yoars' litigation for the main-
tenance of my honourable status, all my own means, and
whatever could be afforded by my relatives and friends,
have been expended. Ip4; to the present tnne I have had
no leisure to begin writing these stories, and consequently
have not received any remuneration. I really regret your
account is not correct, as the want of fortune appears to
have been my greatest sin, and in the present unsettled
state of the marriage law fortune might yet win her way
where love had been despised, and a husband yet claim a
wife's earnings, as we have before seen in a memorable
and aristocratic case. -- Yours truly, THERESA YEL-
T.BRTON.'',
