COMMUNICATION.

II Citizen Of Connecticut has published a
paper under the head of the Crisis, address
ed to the Citizens of Virginia, the Carroll
mas and Georgia, which contains the follow
ing threat: To tell you the truth, south
ern brethren, sve DO nor intend 10 fUe an
other year under Tie freseat national mea-
Sc sureS and administration I" This brings
TO recollection the treaty made between the
dungh-h Cack and the Horse, in which
they covqnanted not TO tread on each other.
At length, the Cock sent word by an old
Gander. that as all the advantage Of the
treaty was on the side ofthe Horse, he would
abide by il no longer.
Really, now, this is unkind in this citizen
to threaten US thus. Had we threatened
not buy their onions, their potatoes and
their cramberries, he could not have used
hs worse. tits to be hoped, that as there
are some cool headed men in that state, that
they will see and place these men where they
ought to be---in the mad-housc.

EIFdcE 81 Ietter from 1GShmrfon CHy,
dated September 1, 1912
"The President left town this morning for
his seat in Virginia. He had set out few
days ago, but was recalled by the news from
Hull's division of the Canadian aru,y. A
council has been held upon that disaster, and
the determination has been 20 push tue war
with renewed vigor and acIiFity. Such a re-
solution is worthy Of lie noble cause we are
engagedin in.
Some of the fcderalists, whose hopes de-
pend upon the suiferings and humiliation of
the country, have derived great consolation
from Hu!Ps bad conduct. They think and
they say, "Mr. Madison must go'' The
CGntcnians will, you may depend ON it, re-
joice much; and Southwick and Holt will be
more impairment than ever. The former.
who, you know, is editor OF the Albany Re-
sister, has grown quite scurrilous of late, a.
dapting his language, in political discussion.
to the capacity and passions Of his patron and
candidate Clinton.
Those who, from such failure as that
of Hull, look to the downfall of Mr.. Madison.
must believe the American people TO be ca
pricious, wavering, and contemplate. Do
these prophetic spirits imagine that the great
republican majority of the union, in entering
into this war, calculated upon invariabIe sue

the imbeciiily of'a General, the adrninistra
ton is to be expelled from cifices Ifthev do
their passions delude them. Surely the re-
publicans have not been so silly as to believe
that nothing but victory would follow de-
claration ofwar. They had, however, a right
70 expect, that Hall, so long Governor of
Michigan, and who had seen some service
during the revolutionary war, had sagacity
and knowledge OF the country enough, not to
suffer the enemy to crcumvent him. But 1t

good C0lonel is nothing 0'a General. And

There can be no apology for Hull. WHY

Accounts have been received from the
state Of Ohio, of the surrender of General
Hull AID the troops under his command,
at Detroit, to the Commander of the British
troops in Upper Canada. No official des-
patch has been received from the General,
but the intelligence appears to be too well
authenticated. We are unacquanted with
the causes which produced, and the circum-
STANCES attending this extraordinary and un-
expected event, and therefore forbear for
the present to comment on it. A copy of
tho articles of capitulation has been receiv-
ed, from a source entitled to credit. Not
having come to hand in time for this paper,
it will be inserted in our next.
We understand that the most decided
measures are adopted for recovering the
ground said to be lost, and for prosecuting
fbe campaign with new vigor.-Wat. Lut.
