Another Letter from Henry A. Wise.
The following letter has been received
from Hon. Henry A. Wise. of Virginia, by
the Boston Lecture Committee, in answer to
one of theirs, requesting him to lecture be-
fore the Mercantile Library Association dur
ing the present course:
ONLY, NEAR ONANcocK, VA,(
Sunday, Nov. IL, 1855.
GENTLEMEN: Yours of the 2d inst was
awaiting nv arrival at home yesterday, from
temporary absence in Washington City.
I gratefully acknowledge the compliment
of your invitation to deliver one Of a course
Of lectures, during the present Winter. before
the Mercantile Library Association of Boston.
am well assured of the highly respecta-
BILE character and of the laudable objects of
your literary Association, and no body of the
kind could have been more honored than you
have been by the illustrious orators and states
men who have shed upon your lectures the
lights of their great minds. / have no doubt
too, of the cordial welcome | would re
ceive from very many Of your hOspitille
citizens; but it is not in my power, gentlemen,
to accept your invitation. The situation OF
my private affairs, and the duty of preparing
for months to come for new scenes OF pubic
service, will engross all my time and atten-
ton the whole of the coming Winter. L have
been compelled to decline every call of the
same kind from many quarters in my own
State, and other States besides yours.
| sincerely regret this the more, because |
have neyer set my foot on the beloved soil of
that portion Of my country called New Eng
land This has not been owing 10 any an
tagonism on my part towards that favored
section Massachusetts, especially, have been
taught to venerate and cherish as the elder
sister of Virginia. When reflect upon their
attitudes and relations in the darkness and
gloom of the night of neutrality-suspicious.
listen to their halls, sister to sister-V;rginia
to Massachusetts,, Massachusetts to Virginia
in the shines which tried mems souls;"-
when / watch the fires kindling on the
heights of Boston, and see Virginia going
forth across the rivers and over the land, by
the sea, leading her beloved son by the hand,
dripping blood ard tears at every step there
and back, leaving him there on post to guard
your very city, and to make the oppressors
evacuate iti-and when l contrast this pic
ture with the present state of things in our
cOnfederacy, which makes you assure me
shat the feelings of the people of Massa-
chusetts towards my State are not those of
antag1nism," gush forth in anguish and
ask-Why a necessity for such assurance?
Why any antagonism between these, the de-
voted States of Hancock and Washington?
May God in His mercy and love guide them,
as of yorel May they ever be cemented in
union by the blood of the Revolution And
whenever another night of gloom and trial
shall come, may they hail and cheer each
other on again to victory, for civil and reli-
gious liberty.
Yours truly, HENRY A. WISE.

6TJudge Huntington, of the U. S. Cir
cult Court, decided an important question
yesterday. growing out of the Free Bank
Law of this State. The plaintiffs in the ac-.
ton, Oliver Tousey, of this city, and Will
liam r. Mexican, Of Terre Haute, were the
holders of large amount of the bills of the
wabash River Bank" at Jasper. After
making demand ut the last place of bust
ness of the bank, (the bank having been dis
continued and closely, and having their bills
protested, caused suit to be instituted against
Judge Bowen, of Ohio, who was its owner,
and who was the sole stockh of said
bank, to make him individually liable for
the protested bills, without at all resorting to
the securities filed with the State Auditor.
The court decided, on demurrer to the dec
laration, that the bonds filed with the Audi
tor were intended to be first applied to the
redemption of the circulation of the bank,
which had been protested for non-payment,
and that before proceeding against stock
holder to make him individually liable, the
bill holder must first show that he had ex-
hausted all the securities filed with the Au-
ditor as security for the circulation.
The opinion of the court was written out,
and gave an able and full view of the ques-
ton involved.

Hoes.-The number of hogs slaughtered
at the various packing establishments in and
near this city Monday and yesterday, was,
we learn, abont 5000. The House of Macy
& McTaggart killed 700 on Monday and
over 600 yesterday. They have about 600
in the pens for tomorrow.
We heard of sale of hogs yesterday, to
average 240 pounds nett, at Sc. This lot
was bought by the Messrs. Mansurs. There
have been no sales at any higher figures than
Sc made this week, and this may be consid-
cred the top of the market
All the packers are busy, and if the wealth
er continues favorable, the number of hogs
which will be killed daily dnring the residue
of the week, will be double that of any pre-
vious week since the opening Of the season.

IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-JeaR Blanc, of
New Orleans, represented to be an agricultu-
rist of considerable scientific attainments, has
secured letters patent from the United States
for the discovery of a process of converting
thirty different varieties of plants which
grow wild in various sections of the Union,
into fax of great strength and beautiful tex
ture. Specimens are now in New York, and
among them are said to be the flax made
from the stalks Of the cotton plant, large
quantities of which are burned on the South
ern plantations to get them out of the way;
the century tree, or wild Manila, which
grows in abundance in Florida; the wild hol-
lyhock, with a fibre ten to fifteen feet long;
the gold nankeen, of natural nankeen color;
the vegetable silk, and the vegetable wool.
