The RicImond Tragedy.

mug Oh MT. f1Oyl, Dy tue husband OF MrS.
Myers, has brought out the most extraordi
nary correspondence, between that lady
and Hoyt, that has ever appeared in the
public newspapers. We subjoin two of the
letters lone from Hoyt 10 Mrs. Myers,
and one from Mrs. M. to Hoyt, The let
ter from Hoyt was intercepted by Col.
Pollard, the lather of Mrs. NJ. and is in re.
ply to letter from Mrs. NJ. The letter
from Mrs. M. is fair sample of all the
others-they all breathe the same unaltera-
BILE love and devotion TO Hoyt. Prior to
his death Hoyt made affidavit that no i'm.
proper intimacy had existed between Mrs.
Myers, and himself.
