NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

We have received through the Post Office rather
singular document. 1t is list of the names of
thirteen Widowers and thirty-nine Widows, resi-
dents of this village. From whit source II came
or for what object il was sent u.s. are unable to
divine. We cannot suppose the sender desires the
publication Of those names, for we can see no use
in it. And if he wishes us TO use our influence to
have the thirteen Of the class unite their for
tunes with as many of the other we must beg leave
TO decline, for we interfere in such matters.
We like to see our friends married and happy and
we take pleasure in publishing marriages and in
receiving wedding cake, but think best 10 let
"match making" alone. We wish that the person
who sent us this document had given US some hint
as TO the use he desired us to make of IT,
In looking over this list of names however,
many, very many thoughts rush into our mind
We are led 10 reflect on the poverty in which many
of those Widows were LEFT the death Of their
husbands. It's true large portion of them have
a competency Of earth's goods some are in afllu-
cnt circumstances; but the majority Of them were
left almost or entirely destitute of property and
many of them with family of children to educate
and support. And these little ones and themselves
they have been obliged 10 feed and clothe and
shelter by the hard earned pittance Of their daily
labor Day after day have they had to struggle
against poverty and want. Sometimes were they
scarcely able 10 defend themselves and their chill
dren against the cold of wintry days and nights
Many times il has been with difficulty that they OBJ
tanned food enough to satisfy the cravings of hun
ger. And the thought that they were left sirug-
gle thus alone against the buffetngs Of fortune was
like iron eating into the soul. But they have srug-
gled on ; couiageously and patiently have they
borne up under the burdens that oppressed them.
While we have heard men living in afiluence COM
plain Of "hard tines" we have seen many Of these
poor women, almost single handed and alone, bui-
et the storms of adversely, and with scarcely a
murnur, labor increasingly for their "daly bread
And such the true heroines of the age. Unno-
tced by the busy world unappauded by the press
unknown 10 fame" they have labored, not with
out heart and hope. They have been encouraged
by few sympathizing friends strengthened for
toll by their parental affections sustained by the
consciousness OF doing their duty and cheered by
their faith in the Unseen. And they are greater
than Queens and Prnceses with all their retnue OF
royalty and when real worth shall receive its full
reward (as most surely il will) they will occupy
far higher place than many who look down upon
them with cold indifference, or supercilious pride.
And let not the widow and the orphan be discour-
aged They who do their duty bravely and pa
tienty; they who struggle with a martyr-spirit
against adversely, shall not fail Of their reward
There is higher good than riches, even the con-
scousness of being faithful to duty and to God.

Political MOVEMENTS OF THE WEEK.-These
movements are becoming very interesting, and
quite amusing to philosopher who likes to study
the shifting scenes of the political world The
American Republicans are increasing rapidly, and
are daily adding to their numbers some of the most
influential men of the day. The Hon. Moses II.
Grinnell-one of the most distinguished members
of Congress we ever had, and man of acknow-
lodged purity and great moral influence in the
community, has joined this party In fact, the new
movement is triumphing every where, in spite of
all opposition, and has produced very considerable
CONSERVATION amongst the other parties. Already
the locefocos, sensible OF impending danger, are
waking up, and endeavor to arrest the Niagara
torrent, which is to oyerwhelm them next spring.
Thus has a most novel and interesting state of
things been produced by the defacations, corrup.
ton, and rascalities of the political factions. from
whom we now begin to see the brightest hopes of
deverance.

Mr.. JAMES GORDON BENNETT =
DEAR SR:-
Thinking perhaps line from me at present
wouldnot come amIss, will try and give small
but faint description of what is doing here in the
way of business, amusements, politics, &c.
After my arrival in this goodly and pious city,
which took place on the Sd instant, took board at
the Saint Charles Hotel. This is undoubtedly the
most splendid and magnificent hotel in the United
States. Board here is very high. This house
charges for board per week, from $l2 to $40, ac-
and other convenences. Mr.. Nudge arrived here
about week ago, and gave a splendid party to his
friends on Wednesday evening last. Mr.. Nudge il
is well known, is the gentlemany proprietor Of the
summer in your city at the Astor House.
suppose you have, ere this, heard of the great
attraction here in the way of theatricas and
amusements. The st. Charles Theatre opened
is also the American; mask balls have commenced
IN great numbers. Mrs. Seton, who is manager of
the American, appeared in her beautiful character
OF Romeo, a few evenings since, and had very
lOuse. II young genteman fTOTn view
York. is about 10 make his appearance on the stage
in the character of Richard the Third This young
man is well known by large number of young
people IN your CITY,. and they will be much sur
psed to hear that he is about to appear on the stage
The. ladies in Bedford, East Broadway Suffolk
Ludlow, and many other streets, will be much
surprised to hear this. He will appear on Sunday
evening next at the Saint Charles, in his favorte
character, under the name of, or by the title of
" Dung Gentleman from New York" His real
name Is Chester Il. Howes, who was well known
last winter as correspondent of the Evening
Herald that was started in your city, under the
name OF "Guzzlegut." lot of fellows calling
themselves Virginia Minstrels, are here at the
American; they are complete humbug as regards
the Negro, Ethiopian characters, which they at
tempt to take, as they know nothing about IL; If
they do they don't show any.
Mercantile business is just upon the stir, and
those acquainted with business seem to think there
