DEAR SIR:-I will now endeavor to re-
deem the promise made you. few days
before leaving, if can find any thing of a
character that may interest your readers.
left there on Saturday, about II
o'clock, and arrived at st. Mary's about
the same hour at night. l found that
the line of coaches they have now estab-
lished through there. quite an improve
ment upon the one horse" concern they
formerly had. in every respect, and the
rate of speed much more expeditious.-

sermon 'front.' believe, Baptist preacher;
and about tlIc middle of the afternoon a
boat came along, and right glad MAS to
see it. for the river being low, / feared

preaching there; the boat was crowd

state-rooms were all occupied. Md III

do not hear much said about politics,
as general thing. though i believe there
is more interest felt and feeling manifest
ed about such matters than at any place
have been for some time. The Demo
Gratis had large and enthusiastic meeting
here on yesterday; it was held in the
Court House. which, BY the way, is one
of the largest and finest in the State, and

candidate for Congress, BY Col. Todd,
late Minister 10 Brazil. and Col. Mrdill,
1t. Gov. of this State, two as fine speak
srS as there are in the State. They spoke
about four hours. to a delighted audience.
1t was a treat. / always ike to hear men
OF tine talents speak. let them belong to
what party soeser they may. and more
especially when they speak sentiments in
accordance with my own. These men
have been out now two months, and ex-
Pect to return home only the night before
the election. Now, have not participated
any in this contest, nor is il probable
shall. but l have no hesitancy in So ing
that Pierce will carry this State by large
majority. Hale will take off large vote
from the Wing ticket, whereas, il will take
but few from the Democratic. Gen. Cass
carried the State under similar circum-
stances.
You. perhaps, may have seen that Gen.
Scott in his speech lately at Pittsburh.
with his USUAL discretion about such mat
tiers, has admit,ed that he cannot be elect
ed without the vote of Pennsylvania,
which make his prospects gloomy enough
indeed. The election for several State Of
Ulcers will come off on the I'd Tuesday Of
this month. i believe L have nothing
special. further. to write at present. after
my respects TO you and yours and friends
in general and the ladies in particular.
5 remain yours, respectfully.
