A Ma hinge Letter.


We find the following admirable letter in ETolden,s
Dollar Magazine. 1t was written twenty wears ago
by lady, of great literary distinction, to her cousin
who now graces one of the most honorable official
stations in the Empire State, on the eve of his mar
rage, and accompanied by a pair of blue mixed
stockings, knit by herself, as present:
Dear Cousin: Herewith YOU will receive q
present OF pair of woolen stockings, knit bv INV
own hands, and be assured, dear coz, that nv
friendship for you Is as as the material active
as he finger work, and generous as the donation.
But consider this present as peculiarly appropri
ate on the occasion of your marriage You will re-
mark, in the first place, that there are two indiyJ
uals united in one pair who are 70 walk side by side
guarding against GOODNESS, and giving comfort as
long as they last The thread of their texture ia
mixed, and so, alas, is the thread of life In these
however, the white predomnates, expressing by de-
size and confidence that thus it will be with the color
ofyour existence. No black is used, for | believe
your lives will be wholly free from the black pas-
sions of wrath and jealousy The darkest color
here is blue which is excellent, where we do not
make it too blue.
Other appropriate thoughts rise TO my mind in re-
gardng these stockings. The most Indifferent sub
Jects, when viewed by the mind in suitable frame
may furnish instructive iufarencos, as saith the
peet:

MECHANICS ASSOCIATION LECTURES. The
winter course opened evening, under the ia
vorable auspices, at the City Hall. The introduce
tory lecture was delivered by Horace Greeley, and
listened TO with the deepest apparent interest by
as large audience as could conveniently be packed
into the spacious lecture room. Mr.. Greeley is not
an eloquent speaker, and he seldom fever advances
an idea that he may claim original but he has a
large share of sterling sense and the capac
ity ofimpartng tito others in plain straightforward
manner, which makes him one Of the best popular
lecturers of the day.

TIE FIRST ARREST. Three supposed fug.
tive slaves were brought down on the steamer New
England, trip or two since They were arrested
in the country back of Quincy, Illinois, and at the
time Of their capture were making tracks for the
Canadas. We learn they had been absent from
their owners some time, and up to the time of the
passage of the fugitive slave bill, deemed themselves
safe with the Mississippi alone between themselves
and the owners. This is the first arrest in this sec
ton under the provisions oflhe late fugitive slave law

The Southern Address.

In publishing this address, we accord to the
respectable and distinguished gentlemen whose
names accompany it an attention which it was
cur purpose to have shown before now. But it
will still come in good time.
The establishment of newspaper in this
city to represent the views and opinions of the
South is one of the prominent purposes-the
most prominent, indeed-which the address
seems to have in view. To movement of
this kind we do not see that any can have rea-
son to object. We prefer nationality ourselves,
and have no disposition to take part in sectional
controversies; but yet, when views and opin-
ions exist, and have force and substantial
basis, il is not only natural but inevitable
that they should seek and find expression.
For that end, if no agency is at hand, in the
proper place, to give forth such expression in
an adequate manner, the establishment of a
medium that may be adequate is a necessary
sequence. The address is well drawn up, and
it embodies very compactly the substance of
the general views which it proposes to an
nounce.

william Vaughan. ESQ.

Died at his residence in London, on Sunday the
9th ult.' william Vaughan, aged ninety eight; He
was the son OF Mr.. Samuel Vaughan, merchant
of London, and was born the 22d of September,
1852, and was brother OF the late Benjamin
Vaughan, esq, OF Hallowcll, and John Vaughan,
ESQ.,, of Philadelphia. Notwithstanding the good
old age attained by this venerable gentleman, his
numerous friends in this country will not hear OF
his dccease without concern. A man of more gen
une Kindness and active philanthropy never lived.
IL was TO him, TO the other members Of his family
the study and business Of life TO do good, and 10
render kind services 10 others. II was their selfish
meas 10 promote the happiness Of their fellow men.
For nearly three quarters of century, and long
az the growing infrmities Of age permitted, Mr..
Vaughan's house in London a second home for
Americans visiting England. To thousands who
hear Of his decease the tidings will bring back the
recollection Of the most cordial and delicate attcn-
tons, and the most unwearied services. MIR.
Vaughan was connected by the mothers side with
America, she having been the daughter OF Benjamin
Hallowell, csq., Of this city.
Mr.. Vaughan was a gentleman Of great intel-
gence and public spirit. He the original pro-
jector and most active promoter Of the con-
struction Of the London docks, which have done

public attention cffectually TO this great subject
Mr.. Vaughan took very active part in the estab
lishment Of the Savings Bank in the city of Lon
don; and in July, 1916, being then Governor OF the
Royal Exchange Assurance Company, he laid the
corner stone Of the "Dondon Provdent Institution
or Bank for Savings" he being Of the Vice
Presidents of that Institution, and "chairman Of

n gentle law of nervous connexion with the COM
munity; and there is no portion of the community
whose sensiblities will not be touched by his death
Upon the nearer social ties which have been bro
ken, choose not TO make any remarks. The dis
consulate heart shrinks from the gaze of the world.
and what our eyes may not look upon, let our lips
iorbear TO mention.
In conclusion, Mr.. WOODWARD submitted the
following resolutions:
Resolosd That this House has heard with deep
sensbility the announcement of the death OF
LIN ii. GILMORE, a Senator in Congress from the
State of South Carolina.
Resolved, That, as a testimony OF respect Tor the
memory of the deceased, the members and officers
Of this House wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.
RfsoIped, That the proceedings Of this House, in
relation TO the death of the Honorable +. H. ELMoRE
be communicated to the family Of the deceased by
the Clerk.
Resolved, That this House will, as a body, forth
with repair TO the Senate chamber to attend the fu
neral Of the deceased.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted
In pursuance Of the last resolution the members
and their officers repaired to the Senate chamber,
and thence to the Congressional burying- ground,
where the body of.the deceased was deposited
On their return to the hall they adjourned until
Monday.

unfounded statements but such is the Unions
designation of It,
Ii is trait, and fortunate one, in human
character, that men are prone TO appreciate in
others any estimable quality which they do
not themselves possess. A man without can
dor or truthfulness, when he beholds those ster-
ling elements in another, is compelled to ac-
knowledge i'll his own heart, if it retains the
susceptibiities of our common nature, that hui
man character is capable OF an elevation of
which he had formed no conception. Ii is true
the insincere man will, for time, and even for
a long time, believe sincerity To be weakness,
and smile with compassionate complacency upon
the frankness of that honesty which, in his
view of selfish tactics, lays the possessor of
such quality open to the arts and devices
of the shrewd, OF whom he thinks himself
one-and of the unprincipled, Of whom he
is one. Yet he himself, SO adroit, so sagacious,
so expert in schemes and elusive contrivances,
SO INSCRIPTIONS in misrepresentation, and SO
prodigal of calumny so long as it can be diffused
with impunity, cannot but have moments in
which conscience and a better wisdom hold
sway; and he learns to admire in theory the vir-
tues he has never practised.
1t is not, therefore, surprising that the Union
should appreciate "a fair, manly, and honorable
opponent"-not only for the advantages it
might expect to take of such an adversary, but
also from profound respect it may feel for
qualities which it cannot but admire, although
it may have never attained them.

From ChaQrcs.

The steamship Philadelphia, Captain Pearson, ar
rived at her wharf, in New York, on Wednesday
night, May 3oth, from Chagres, via Kingston, ia
maica, with over half million Of dollars in gold
dust
The Philadelphia left Chagres on the 18th ut.
making the passage home in twelve days, includ-
ing detention Of thirty hours at Kingston and
twenty at Norfolk, where she put in for fuel. On
her outward passage she left New York on the 9TH
instant, at p. m, and arrived off Chagrcs on the
18th, at II p. m, having made the run in ten days
seven hours, including stoppage at Kingston.
The Philadelphia brings no mail beyond Panama
consequently we have nothing later from California
