The Washington correspondent OF tho New
York Post, affects to be well posted in the So
crets in the Forney administration. Our read
ers can take his speculations for what they are
worth:
AN article In the Courier and Enquirer of New
York berating the administration for suppressng
letters addressed by Great Britain to our govern.
ment putting mild construction on an offensive
remark of Lord Clarendon's has been circulated at
Washington with such effect that, understand,
Mr.. Sumner has prepared resolution for presenta-
ton in the Senate, calling upon the President for
the correspondence In question. The substance
Of the remark was, that France and England were
united In their adherence TO policy in reference
to tho American continent, analogous TO that which
they avowed In regard to Europe, or, in other
words, that they were resolved to maintain, strenu
ously balance Of the power, 80 far as practical In
our hemisphere.
"The Courier says that, when Clarendon heard
of Casss comments, he was the most surprised
man in Europe, and that letters are on the file In
State Department which expressly disclaim snch
meaning.
How the editor of the Courier gets his infor-
nation is not disclosed. If any one of his titled
acquaintances in the British Cabinet has been In
discreet enough to dvulgc their state secrets to
him, it is not easy to authenticate the relative
amount OF truth and of CANNON contained in this
report of them But ! am able to affirm that no
such letters or explanations have been received by
this government and that the story of the suppress
sion Of diplomatic correspondence, from motives OF
hostility to England, Is wholly untrue. The gov
eminent has had letters from the British Ministry
which II holds at the call of Congress, but which
its desire to maintain friendly relations and senti
ments between the two Powers in correspondence
has thus far induced 1t to withhold. These letters
are Of precisely the opposite character from the
amiable missives about which the Courier makes
such ado"

MAcAuLEy--I had met Macauley before,
but as you have not, you will OF course ask a
lady's first question, - how does he look ~
Well my dear, so far rs relates to the out
ward htSk Of the soul, our engravers and da-
guerreotypsts have done their work as well
as they usually do. The enGravngs that you
get in tire best editions ot his works may be
considered, suppose, a fair representation Of
how he looks when he sits to have his picture
Saken, which is generally very different from
the way any body looks n any other time.
People seem to forget, in taking llItenesses,
that TIE features of the face arc rothIng but
an alphabet, and that dry, dead map Of a
persons face gives no more idea how one
looks than the simple presentation of an al
phabct shows what there is in poem.
Macauey's whole physique gives you the
impression of great strength and stamina Of
constitution. He has the kind Of frame which
we usually imagine is peculiarly English ;
short. stout and firmly knit There is some
thing hearty in all his demonstrations. He
speaks in that full round rolling voice, deep
from the chest, which we always conceive Of
as being more common in England than
America. AS to lis conversation, it is juat
ike his writing that is to say, it shows very

uncommon memory one Of those men to
whom it seems impossible to forget "A thing
once read and he has read all sorts Of things
that can be thought of, in all languages. \
gentleman told me be could repeat all the
| Newgate literature, hanging ballads last
| speeches and dying confessions while his
knowledge of Milton is SO accurate, that if his
poems were blotted out Of existence they
might be restored simply from his memory.
| This same accurate knowledge e4tehds to the
| Latin and Greeh rlasslcs. and to much Of the
! literature Of modern Europe. Had nature
been required to make a man to order, for a
perfect historian nothing better could have
been put together, especially since there is
enough Of the poetic fire included in the cum
position to fuse all these multiplied materials
together aud colcr the historical crystaza-
! ton with them.

drnces in the breathings and aspects Of the

he been yours.
Macauey is celebrated as a controversa-
list and, like Coleridge. Carlyle. aud almost
every one who enjoys this reputation he has
sometimes been accused Of not allowing peo-
pie their fair share Of conversations This
might prove an objection, possibly, to those
who wish to talk but as | greatly prefer to

Oregon GuIch Correspondence.
OREGON GULon, June 30, lS5j

OREGON GULCH, June 30, 1879.
ME-. EDITOR Being a constant reader OF
the Times, have often thought, while peru
sing it, that there was always something
needed to make the Tines a tirst-rate coun-
try paper. What is needed, in my opinion,
is an article devoted to the farming and gar
denine interest at least once month Were
as capable of welding the pen as | am Of
holding the plow, would endeavor to keep
your readers posted up in such matters.
Among your many correspondents there is
not one who appears to devote thought to
farming. Dartmouth can spend his time
writing about hotse races big strikes and
strong. minded women, but farming never en-
ters his head.
1t is well known fact that Trinity County
is not surpassed by any county in the State
in mineral wealth. And so far as have OBJ
served, there is no part of Northern Calitor'
hia can equal it in fertility of soil and pro
ductiveness. In the valley Of Trinity there
are thousands of acres cf rich soil yet in
claimed, where an enterptising population
can in a few years rear comfortable homes,
and by industry and economy realize for
tunes. The farmers of Trinity County would
be much benefited by organizing an Agricul,
tura Society If such society existed, men
would meet often together, and interchange
opinions, and discuss the best mode Of culd-
waiting and irrgating the soil. OHIO.
The suggestion of our correspondent, res
pectng the organization Of an Agricultural
Society in this county, is a good one, and we
hope that some of our energetic farmers viii
take the matter in hand.
We shall be most happy to comply with
the 6esires of our correspondent, and devote
{ portion of our columns to the farming inte-
rests Of the county, and we trust that our
friends Mho are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits will aid US, b. furnishing us with such
information in regard to the subject as may
be of interest to their brother agriculturists.

One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.

See how small each moments pain

Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear
Luminous the crown, and holy
If thou set each gem with care.

Look too eagerly beyond.

Take them, lest the chain be broken

Jack Rink and the Yankee,

Few communities are more strongly inN
bued with passion for horse racing than the
good people Of Natchez. New York folks
talk "soger" and "engne !" in Paris they
talk "opera :" in NatcheG they talk horse, "
They believe in 5uadrupeds and nothing else.
To own the fastest horse in Natchez, is to
enjoy the fee simple of an honor in compar-
son with which member Of Congress sinks
into nothngness.
In October last, the 7" falI meetingn took
place, and led to more than the usual quantity
Of excitement and brandy cocktails. The
last race of the last day was a sort OF free
fight" open to every horse that had never
won race purse $3.50, entrance S25.
Among those who proposed to go in was a
Yankee pedar, with sorrel colt of rather
promising proportions. lie thus addressed
one of the judges

that puSs."
"What 7"
"That sorre colt"
q Is he speedy ?"
g calculate he is, or I would not wish to
risk a load of tin ware on the result"
"Do you know the terms ?"
Like book--pu's $5O6, and entrance
fee S25-=and there's the dimes"
Here the Yankee drew out last century
wallet, and brought up two Ms and V.
Among those who witnessed the operation
was Jack Rink of the Belvue House. Jack
saw his customer, and Immediately measured
him for an entertainment After the usual
fuss aud palavcr, the horses were brought
out, saddied, end prepared for a single heat
of two miles. There were eight competitors
beside the Yankees. The latter was a smart
sorrel colt, with fine eye, and lift of the
leg that indicated speed and bottom.
Bring up the horses said the Judge.
The horses were brought up--the Yankee
gathered up his reins and adj usted his stir
rups. While doing this, MIR Rink went TO
the rear Of the sorrel colt and placed a chest
nut burr under his tail. The next moment
the order to " 60" was given, and away went
nine horses OF all possible ages and condi-
tions. The Yankees was ahead and kept
there. Tin Ware" was evidently pleased
with the way things were working, and smiled
a smile that seemed to say, "that puss will

Nature.

Sweet sunsets glow, the rosy-tinted sky,
The sombre forests rich and tempting
shade,
The crystal streamlet, swiftly coursing by,
Through mead and towering glade;
The soothing hum Of insects on the wing,
Rare birds which carol with free delight,
Soft, whispering winds Ger daisies wander

And clover pink and white;
Bright moonbeams, flashing from the restless
wave,
Or gently stealing through the elm's dark

Where murmuring streams, rich flowers and
grasses lave
Her spells iar Luna weaves:
Such are the charms which natures votary
