Sir-Since last June, when l first something of

rable interest in your Grammar. This, however, has
been much increased from using the work in my school
now freely confess that consider your Book far
regards the science of grammar, Invaluable 1t calls
the intellect of the scholar into continually and
grounds him in the relation of words with each other
The definitions in your work are clear, and the only

Your S, stem of casing the sections has assisted my
boys in parsing much that they have little diff
fculty in parsng the language.
Your syntactical rules embrace, and fully embrace
the relations of the different parts ofspeech Irejoce
that there is prospect of doing away the old system
of English Pho!ogy; asystem which requires so much
time and study; system by which the truth can never
be acquired by the aid of the vast body of notes
and exceptions which have been introduced to prop
up, and support its defective rules aud false principles
The labor of the teacher comparatively lttle

DITION.
A very short time will, in all probability, de-
velope news of much interest respecting the
operations of the combined forces Of the Repub-

mands at all seasons to inHict serious injury TO
the prosperity Of the free states, is the medita-
ted point Of attack; and that the approaching
summer cannot pass withou, presenting the
spectacle of all the assailable points being IN
possession of the Republican arms. The fol-
lowing extract of letter from Vera Cruz, gives
some information upon this subject not hereto
