10 Corrcshondtn'8.--We do not know
that the honorable fraternity spoken of BY
our correspondent from S; does suffer the
grievance complained OF in his communica-
ton. Is it not more applicable to those Of
another place, in his neishhourhood u
so, some little alteration may fit the piece
for publcation--or If he Will make it APP
pear that we have among US those who
arc infringing the rights Of f1iviieSed
class, we shall iccl it our duty to expose any
such innovation.
il is source Of regret to us. that the re-
marks relative to the communication of oui
correspondent, "True Blue" should have
though not Intentionally nesicctful, have no
! been, on account OF their ayocation, &c, a
attentive as previous intimacy might re
quire." We apprehcnd there was neve
much genuine warmth existing between sucl
parties, or il would have nc. SO soon becom
cool. We would rather suppose, il our re
marks have at all operated, the effect ha
becn only felt by few of the hckle; who, q
they we're hanging only BY the eyelids, hay
been very happily touched.
The lines of the "brandywinc Minstrel
which we publish to-day, should have AZ

after he had remained under water about
three or four Minutes, he was fshed up with
boat-hook; but all attempts to resuscitate
him failed, and he was presented 70 his heart
broken parents lfcless corpse. This mel
