New YORK Dec. "a 1912.
My DEAR Sir The weather was excessively cold
last night and fear the North River is closed far
down as Piermont if not to a lower point; and pre-
sent appearances indicate that il will remain eight
and fast' till the ensuing Spring. The atmosphere
intensely cold, and it quite enough to chill ones
blood to witness the of suffering that eXpe
renced IN this great city.
Last night as was returning TO my lodgings, at
very late hour, passed by extensive anthracite
coal yard, and had my attention arrested by the
movement of object of pity and of wretchedness.
The sufferer, for such she was, was little girl Of
the age Of eight nine years. half naked struggling
10 lift bundle of coal, which she had stolen from
rich mans domain, to her head. She was almos,
chilled to death with the cold, and could hardly
iculate sentence. With difficulty she told me that
she had sick mother and several children at home,
all Of whom were suffering for the want of fuel
The coal, she said she must and would have; and /
could not, in my heart, deter her from doing deed
which stern necessity seemed to justify She took
the budget Of coal home, and | follow her, to
certain if her story were true. | soon discovered
that the little sufferer had not told all ; and | wit
messed scene Of squald wretchedness which will
not describe
There is nothing very new or important to commu-
ncate. The friends Of the Administration daily
encouraged with instances of the growing popu-
larity of the President and the rapid decline and
fall of the Coons. In fact, the ultra Coons dying
off, of theirown vermin and will soon be among the
lost tribes.
Mr. Bolts, pardon me for referring to the gentle
man again, is not, it seems, satisfied with being
laughed at by his foes, but is rapidly and zeaously
counting the ridiculc and contempt of his political
friends. have seen him derded in some half do
| zen Coon journals of this morning. What sad and
depraved taste that man must possess who is ambi-
tiols of be Ing laughed at.
myriad Of office seekers are "encamT l." like
the children Of Israel beneath the walls Of Jericho,
ready TO make an emeute on Albany, soon as Co
vernon Bouck is installed in office. They now meet
you at every nook and cerner with petition to
sign.
The speech of Mr. Wise on the Bankrupt bill is very
much admired here, among all men of correct prn-
cipes and habits Let the bill be repealed with
out the least delay The People, the great mass OF
the People, demand its repeal, and why should Con-
gress hesitate
Yours, truly

MIR. BENTON INITIATING MARAT.

We see by the Globe (and the Augusta A ge)
that the cry of Mr.. Benton is still for war;
Marat, one of the lriumvirate of bloody devils
in the French Revolution, it is well known,
contrived to get control of the columns of one
of the daily journals, and with his pen as well
as with his voice, urged on the bloody work.
He contended that the revolution could not be
complete, nor the State in safety, until two hun-
dred and eighty thousand heads had fallen !
Male and f male, old and young, both the gull
" and innocent contributed their blood to make
the wane on which Marat rode to power SO
with Mr.. Benton. 1t matters not that all our
difficulties and disputes with other nations can
be amcably, advantageously, and honorably ad
justed by diplomacy-this mode of settlement
would not attract the attention of the country
to Mr.. Benton. He must have war. Some
| 100000 heads must fan, to make steps for him
| to ascend to power. He knows that America
would ultimately be triumphant, the indomi-
table nature of the People, and the vast re-
sources of the country would in the end insure
success against all the nations Of Europe com
|
nate, and in the columns of the Globe.
| If the President had been actuated by the
| same demoniac spirit, he could have given US
wars enough, and at the same time put out o.
the way all opposition to himself and his AID
ministration. But he preferred to be "peace
maker" Not so Mr. Benton. What if he should
instigale war, and two hundred and eight,
thousand citizens shall fall who will charge hin
with murder2
) Washington deprecated the cultivation of
spirit of conquest. If Mr.. Benton had hi
way, the whole Of North America would soor
be subjugated by the United States-though h,
would not be one of the leaders in the battle
field. Washington was right. We possess
sufficient territory TO answer the purposes of til,
citizens Tor many centuries yet.
Mr.. Benton must doubtless remember Ma
rats miserable end.
