LErTER OF GrN. HousroN Washington,
18th Gen. customs views on the state Of the
nation have appeared in reply to Hon, Mr. Letch-
er Of Virginia. Mr. Houston thinks the anti
slavery agitation in the free Stntes has in a great
measure subsidized The action Of Vermont he
believes took place during the extreme violence
Of the fanatc1 fever, and believes she will has
ten TO repeal it. lie objects To a Southern Con
venton for the reason that 10 is totally unneces-
sary, and would be productive Of much harm.
The South needs no new guarantee The
Constitution Is ample enough for her rights al
ready and cannot be friteret away by special
pleading nor oyarhrown by open force. He con
dennis the late dHunion movement in South Car
DINA, and believes Virginia viii spurn with dis
dam her schemes to lead off in a Southern Con
ycnuon. Texas ha says VIII never desert the
Union. She had too much trouble to enter it.
In conclusion he hoped tina, if ever the clio ID
Of dsunIon should break, the same shall be met
not by the evlsve hypocrisy Of secession or sec
tlonal connections, but in the bold and manly
spirit that actuated our fathers in the Revolution
that noble spirit which prochims that the preser-
walton Of liberty will justify any measure neces.
sary TO that great end.

~ We are requested to inquire whether
more than one conductor is required for each
passage train on the Ogdensburg road for its
own business; and if not for its own business,
whether that road intends to carry one for each
road connected with it? If the answer is in the
affirmative, it is suggested that each should be
required to wear badge appropriately marked,
to the end that travellers may not be "taken in
and done for" without fair warning

 No other exhibition ever comparable to this m extent, vaciety or magaihsenee. For example: single London house has One Million Doiary worth of the most superb Plate and Jewellery in the Exhibition, in by means unfayosable posi- ton; yet had spent the better portion of five days there, roaming and gazing al will, before thss lot. There are three Diamonds exhibited which are worth according to the standard method of computing the value Of Diamonds, at least Thr. ty Millions of DoilarS aa3 probably coald be sold Tn a week for Twenty Millions; 1 have seen but ore of then as yet. and that stands so coaspicu- ousy ln the center of Inc Exhibition that few who enter can .heip seeing t. And there are several miles of and lots Of costy wares and fabries exposed hsEe, good share of which quite as at uactIge as the great Diamonds, and in1rinslcally far more valuable.
