Dear Sir Not satisfied to partake
alone Of the mingled emotions Of plea,

wakened threading the following let.
ter from the brilliant and eccentric or.
ator Of Roanoke, send it to you for
publication. that the readers Of the
Union and the public generally may
share in the sorrowfal qualification
which have experienced iniits, peru,

whilst, from disease and other causes,
Mr.. Randolph exhibited on some oc-
casions rs an irascible and peevish dispo-
ssition, his heart was nevertheless the
depository Of some of the finest and
noblcst feelings Of which our fallen
nature IS capable. lido not accord
fully with iii the sentiments he has
here expressed, but in its general ten
or and spirits the letter has my most
hearty appreciation. 1t is atbeautiful
specimen l1tii Of fra,ernal sympathy and
affection, expressed in terms of ten
derness and propriety which | have
never seen excelled, It was written
To his half brother, the Hon. Henry
st. George Tucker, on the occasion Of
tile demise Of his eldest son, a youth
Of singular promise, possessing large
|lyIthe personal and intellectual attrac-
tons Of his accomplished father. 1t
is proper to remark that the letter
was found among the private papers
Of the distinguished gentleman 70
whom it was addressed, by his son,
John Randolph Tucker, Of Virginia.
Having been long associated with the
family of Judge Tucker interms Of
intimate friendship, ! have obtained
permission from Beverly Tucker, of
this city, to dispose Of the communi.
cation as my judgment and sense of
propriety might dictate. Therefore
send it to you for publication, and be-
speak for it especially the attention

years, were associated with its distin-
eediished : author in the relations Of per.

scientific Prophecy.

About nineteen years ago q Mr.
Halt, Of Wilton, Connecticut, then. !
remarkably good student in his cole.
gia,e course, was suddenly deprived
Of his reason and memory. Under
these circumstances, his father, the
Rev. Mr.. Halt, sent him.to Hertfort,
but finding no relief he sent him to
DR. Chaplain, Of Cambridge, Mass,
The doctor said there was no presen,
relief for him, but at The age of sixty.
six or thirty.seyen, there would be a
change ;6that the brain was TOO much
expanded for'the Uranium, and there
would at that age be contraction,
which would enableit to act healthily.
His anxious father and family saw
their hopes peremptorily deferred for
nineteen years. That time has re-
Gently expired. and to their great joy,
the prophecy is fulfilled. The man
began to inquire for his books as i he
had Just tlaid them down, and resumed
his mathematical studies where heleft
them. There was no trace on his
mind oftliis long blank in.his life, or
Of anything whichhad occurred in it,
