STEAMER LOUISIANA, Sept. 7,

STEAMER LOUISIANA, OepG. Z.
DEAR Doctor - 1t seems that some little popular
discomfort is likely 10 grow out OF the late refusal
of President Pierce to evacua:e Old Point Comfort for
the benefit of the Norfolk and Portsmouth sufferers
was member of the delegation who called upon
him for that purpose and feel constrained, far
nv humble name will go, TO correct any false misrep-
RESERVATIONS in regard to the matter. True, we did
not accomplish all the objects of our sad mission to
Washington but much GcaS done. Our every demand
was met with marked courtesy, and the most unmis-
taxable manifestations of deep sympathy and kind
ness The desire to serve us-both on the part of
the President and those of his cabinet with whom
we conferred-was apparent to US all. AT the Navy
Department not single requlsltlon was denied. An
advance of pay TO laborers al the "Gosport yard,
who were heads of families and desired to leave was
promptly promised and the assurance given that they
should find employment at other yards after ten days
of absence from the infected city. These were car
dnal points of pilgrimage 10 the federal capital
and they were granted without grudgng or hesitancy
The difficulties in the way of Immediate evacua-
ton of Fortress Monroe were doubtless imperative
and insurmounabe in the estimation of the President
and the Secretary of War. They freely dis
cussed before us and |, with several other members
of the committee, staggered by the force OF them
at our very first inverview
! There was no lack of humanity in the failure of
our scheme Had this beautiful fortress been the
private property of Franklin Pierce, in the overflow
ings of generous nature he would have transferred
| it TO US without a selfish struggle.
am led to make this hurried statement by no par
tisa courtierlike spirit. My object is simply to
correct misapprehension subject which has ava
keneI the most intense excitement throughout this
region of country, not to win notoriety for myself by
the defence Of those in power.
You very we'll know, my dear sir, that, apart from
the assent of my political lath, which has been free
y and unhesitatingy accorded to all it's leading mea-
sures have little reason to euloglze the present ad
minstration. 1t has no personal claims upon me
Although my occasional business interviews with
the President and few of his cabinet have always
been characterized by the most respectful urbaniy
and apparen: kindness their part, have never
preferred claim before them-either for myself OF
another-that not promptly or ultimately re-
iected. But at no time have felt this want OF sue
cess half so keenly the late occasion of my
voluntary interference in behalf of the plague smit
ten people of my newly adopted home
| The partial failure of errand was source OF
sad modification to me; that it failed for reasons e
ultimate and conscientious with those whom the
responsibility rested do rot for moment doubt.
Very truly, yours, J. J. S1MKINs-

BUcKwHEAT.-Inthe memory of man, the State of
Pennsylvania (says the Philadelphia Ledger has
never seen vast crop of buckwheat as now viii
tens the fields with It's rich blossoms and fills the air
with its fragrant perfume. Not alone the rich val
leys but the rough hill counties, appear to have
every available spot whitened with this delicate
plant At this season, when fruit takes the place of
flowers, the buckwheat blossom adds peculiar grace
to the landscape. Never did this grain give greater
promise of heavy return; and if no rosts occur for
three weeks the crop is safe. Though, the uses of
buckwheat few in our Cities in the country the
grain is available for cattle and poultry, especially
for mixing and thus the crop becomes importans, in
releasing its full weight of the farmers wheat and
corn for the general market.
