To the Editor Of the .Madisonian
My attention has just been called to an article
from the pen Of the Washington correspondent Of
the N. Y. Express, dated October l2th l843 signed
B. E. and which appeared in that paper of the l7th
instant, to which beg leave to offer brief reply,
to that part alone, however, which Immediately
concerns myself. Who that correspondent is, know
not, nor do care to know.
Whatever may be my own opinion, or the opinions
Of such of the citizens of w ashngton who are ac-
quainted with the circumstances relative to my nom
appointment to Office must beg leave to state, that
no such conversation is described by the CORES
pondent of the Express between Mr.. Spencer and
myself ever took place. Mr.. s. in his life
mentioned Dowdens name to me- nor did he ever
aude to him, his trial. any thing else relative to-
or connected with him. As for Mr.. Dowden, be is a
perfect stranger to me, never spoke to him in my
life, have the slightest recollection of having
ever seen him, until saw him in the Court House,
awaiting his trial.
hope the editors of the Express. will see the pro
priety Of giving this insertion in their paper in
order that things may stand in their proper light.

NEW WORKS AT FRANCK TAYLOR'S.


LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON, private, military,
and civil, with illustrations, by Amos Kendall.
To be completed in fifteen numbers. The first
number of this admirable work has been issued,
and may be had of F. Taylor, in this city,
for 25 cents. 1t contains an excellent portrait
of the old hero. The work itself, considering
the ability of the writer, his official and social
intercourse with The General, is doubtless the
best history of that remarkable man ever vet
written, or ever TO be written. A month or So
ago we saw an intmalion in the Globe, that
another author had written the only correct his
tory of some of the prominent events in Gen
Jacksons life, and we thought it was designed
as an insnuation that Mr.. Kepdall's production
was defectire-but the work itself will defy de-
traction.

INDIAN SuMMER.-Thls season, which has often
been referred to by writer's in prose and poetry, is
denominated the Indian Summer, and was thus de-
scribed by the late Rev. Dr. Freeman, in one Of his
occasional sermons:
1.-THE Southwest is the peasantest wind which
blows in New England. In the month Of October,
in particular, after the frost-which commonly
takes place at the end of September-it frequently
produces three weeks of fair weather. in which
the air is perfectly transparent and The Clouds which
float in sky of the purest azure, arc adorned with
brilliant colors IT, at this season, man Of an afec
tomato heart and ardent imagination should visit the
tombs of his friends the southwestern beezes they
breathe through the glowing trees would seem to him
almost artculaie Though ne might not be so rapt in
enthusiasm to fancy hat the spirits of his ancestors
werewhsperng in his yet hewoud at least imagine
that he heard the still small voice of God This charm
ing season is called the Indian Summer name which
derived from the natives, who believe that 1t is
caused by wind which comes Immediately from the
court of their great benevolent god, Canlowwt, or
the Southwestern God-the god Who is superior to
all other beings, who sends them every blessing which
they enjoy and to whom the souls Of their fathers 60

Inc washington Correspondent OF the Baltimore
Sun, under date of October IS, says:
In regard to the workngmen resuming their du-
ties at the Navy Yard in few days, the prospect
brightens. The valuation of materials, long since
condemned and lying idIe-ony occupying space
which could be more advantagoously uscd-cannot
be less than S35,OOO or $4,000. The greater pro-
portion of this property is copper, which, like
other descriptions of metal, is always in demand. 1t

President and Secretary Of the Navy hit upon this
method to raise funds to pay for finishing the old
gentIemans work for such the increase of busi-
ness at the mines in various parts of the country that

sufficient fund can be raised to pay the workmen
