Interesting Correspondence.

The Madison Democrat has been ia
vored by lady with a private letter adj
dressed to her by one of our Senators in
Congress, accompanied with request to
publish it. Why or wherefore she de-
sires its publication, we c,nnot imrgine;
b It doubtless as Mr.. Walker must be a
friend of hers. it is expected in some
manner to reflect to his personal honor
or advantage. We give him the benefit
of its publication in orr columns, and our
readers the benefit of glimpse at the
undercurrents which are agitating the
Democratic waters in the State:

We are not surprised that the
Mllefites are daily growing more san
gnine that the last great fire is at hand.
All through New England and the Mid
Gle States the drought and Leaf are un-
precedented, and every thing eombusti-
bic has been ready to take fire on the
smallest proyocation. The consequence
has been that along the line of Railways
the sparks from the locomotives have
kept fires constantly burning by which
the grass of fields, fences, trees, and in
some instances barns, houses, &C., have
been destroyed. Indeed many rail road
routes present only blackened scene Of
desolation. Fire is also raging in many
extensive forests in Ohio, New York,
Vermont, and other states, covering the
country with thick pail Of smoke, and
in some instances causing suspension of
ordinary business, and flight Of the in
hab;tants. Such a time was never before
known. and if the world is not entirely
destroyed, il bids fair to come near
enough to it to make the mistake of our
Millerite friends very small one.
