On reviewing his exertions for the past tive years.
We are forcibly struck with the vast amount of
physical fatigue which he must have undergone in
the discharge Of his onerous duties. Over sixty
years of age enfeebled in health and shattered in
constitut on, he has yet, with all the ardor Of his
former zeal, vigorously prosecuted his labor Of
love" He has visited, since his arrival in America,
twenty-f five States of the Unon--has administered
the temperance pledge in three hundred Of our
principal towns and cites-hss added more than
half million of our population to the long muster
roll Of his disciples; and, in accomplishing this
prasewerthy object, has travelled thirty seven
thousand miles, which, added to two voyages
across the Atlantic, would make a total dis
lance nearly equal to twice the circumnavi-
cation of the globe. Though laboring under
disease which the slightes. undue excitement
may render fatal, never has he shrunk from
his work Of benevolence and love- North and
South, East and West, was he to be seen, unosten-
tatiousy pursuing the heavenly task of reclaiming
his fallen brother, welcoming the prodiga son back
into the bosom of society," urering the yful idngs
that no man is past the hour Of amendment, dealing
in no denuncation, INDUCING in hypocritica cant

which might reasonably have led you to believe that

claim rejection that you received your impressions

foregoing facts cheerfuy retrsc that portion OF the
affidavit which asserts my belief that you knew the
charge was untrue at the time you made IL.

Yours, &c. i. 7. BARNUA.
Barnum is a gentleman at last. He begins to be
asensible man, and no humbug. The nature the
imputed negotiation with Lola Montez, which dis
tuibed his nerves so awiully, is clearing up, and
be lie, consequently, resuming his natural camness
We are now perfectly satisfied that Barnum, while
highly estimating the popular qualifications of Lola
Montez, has had no engagement with her, for it
seems he has retired forever, from the field Of his
glory, Here perfect evidence of the fact'-

Truly yours r. T. BARNuM
This settles the question as regards Barnum, and
shows that be had nothing to do with lie Grand
Smiths negotiations. At all events, Lola nov
prefers to come out to this country her hook
her own responsibility and intends to enjoy the
fruits Of her own popularity, without the int,ryen-
ton Of agents. Many OF the managers in France,
and in other countries Of Europe, have been con.
tending for her. and trying to engage her and we
understand that al Of the managers in this and
other American cities have been struggling in the
same business; but thus far without success or any
favorable result According to all accounts, she is
to be her own manager-will take care Of her own
sfsrs-make heT own er gagements-disros Of her
own abilities, and come over in jus, such vessel
as she pleases.
According to the best rumorJ on the subject,
Lola Montez was to leave Europe some time during
this month wini weather, temper, and the
stars permitting; but in what vessel, we do not
know She Is a singular woman, a great p)liti-
clan, an enthusiastic socialist, devoted rspub!i-
