DEAR SIR -
Mr. John c. Calhoun arrived in this city this
morning, and passed through TO Augusta, Ga. His
busine Is supposed TO be of a strictly private ma
ture, growing out OF his connection with gold mi
ming company IN Georgia, though he NAV remain
and attend the Georgia State Convention which is
10 De held sometime this month His friends here
expect that he will be nominated al that Convention
! Tor the Presidency, and feel certain that he will re-
ceve The undivided vote of both parties in that
state, II nominated by n national convention This
Dellef Is founded in the fact that the late Harrison
party have always been the friends of Mr. Calhoun
and the advocates OF his principles; and the oppo-
nents oil zen. Harrison acted In unison with Mr. c.
and the democratic party, at the last presidential
election. That ;. Carolina will not move first in the
nomination of Mr.. Calhoun is certain Though tbcv
believe him TO be the best man to be brought for
ward, as representative OF democratic prlncipl.s
hand from Is deep-rooted popularity with all classes
of the people, who have had their eyes upon him. as
the honest and fearless champion of democratic
measures, during the present session of Congress =
But Mr. &. will not, suffer his friends 10 urge his
claims till it shall become certain that he will re-
ceive the sanction of the universal democratic
party.
General Hamilton is now in town. He has lost
none OF his activity or popularity-rises with the sun
and Will ere long rise again from his fallen fortunes
He is the first man, will be bound, who reads he He
that no American paper had 1.-THE of the popularity
which the Herald has obtained in Europe-tha il is
there considered the best published in this coun-
try. The General was instrumental in preventing Earl
Spencer from being further robbed by Col. Monroe
Edwards, who is now on trial at New York for a
great variety of crimes, by putting the Earl on his
guard.
The city is now cool as autumn, and very dull
business Is given up Tor books, and almost every
man you meet has copy of Morley Ernstein' or
Bulwer's Eva" in his hand. On Sunday morning
nnnfx Ias,, .l,o1, IL,
the principal towns in this State from your agents
office, with trunks full of these works, in order TO
anticipate every other establishment and it is said
that the booksellers will return their books 10 the
darpers. Certain II is that the market will be well
supplied long before the Hapers edition will reach
here.
The establishment of newspaper agency here,
with facilities for furnishing early news and cheap
reading, has created complete moral revolution
among the young men of this city. The theatre
has bursted upland it is even said that the Trus-
tees refuse to pay the advertising bill at the Herald
office, to lease the Theatre, TO your agenD-the
gambling houses and gamblers, bursted-bar-rooms
are langulshing for support and some have bursed up
and so ON, every kind of vice and dissipation
has given way to innocent and profitable read
ing: So you will see that the revolution in mind
and amusement which commenced so long ago in
New-Iork, breaking down theatrical business
through empty treasuries-which broke up so MANY
rum holes, and other fountains of vice and crime,
has at length reached u.s. There, as here, it has
sprung from the better food furnished the mind from
tne newspaper press ana the pubic are more
debted to you for this great revolution than any other
man living for twas you who first brought up the
character OF the newspaper press, and made the
community feel It's power and learn its capacity for
usefulness The dull drones, before your time, had
not advanced step for century. Where are they
now Many have vanished before your enterprise
and are forgotten, while many whichare LETT behind
soon must follow Their days are numbered. They
have been weighed and found wanting.
We have been much amused with the defence of
the Postoffce recently published in the Herald
Two words would make lis author blush but il is
TO be hoped that the grievances complained of will
be removed-that little more energy will be mani
tested in the public business-and that no more
cause of complaint will be found No enmty can
exist towards the individuals, as such, connected
with the Posoiice the only fault is found with the
manner in which they discharge their public duties
This remedied, all will be right. The mails still
continue very lrregular and ii is said that the cause
is, hat the fine for laying trip by the steam
boat is $40, while the expense of performing il is
Si60; consequently, when there no passengers,
The boat lays over pays the fine, and the people have
10 wait the revival of travel warrant running the
boat with the mail Strange times!
