Editors, could hardly be obscured by the mists
of such narrative, as / have some reason to
know that very early, and long before the date
of the publication in the Times, you had OBJ;
tanned access to the very papers alluded to in
it. You ought from their perusal to have ac-
quired the conviction that could in no manner
object to their being exposed to the public gaze.
ou certainly might, at any time, have obtained
my fiat for giving them entire to your readers.
If it be true that, in my Secretary of Lega-
ton, in the very man had taken to my bosom,
though he belonged not to my political creed, /
had a spy and traitor, it will never hurt me
to let the world know how he carried on the
infamous trade
Please, sir, insert this letter in your next
number, and believe me your very humble and
obedient servant.
PIERRE soULE.
The National L,telligencer in publishing the
foregoing letter, subjoins the following com
ments:
Since Mr.. Soulehas thought proper to admit
the existence Of the correspondence alluded to
by the article Of the New York Times, copied
into the Intelligencer, we might forego any
observations on the Letter which he has done
us the honor to address to us; but it may not
De improper IOr US 10 make one OF TWO relnhrhs
upon it. First, we did not obtain access" to
the correspondence referred to. A copy of it
was voluntarily but confdentially placed in our
hands for perusal in February, mot however,
by Mr.. Perry, with whom we had no cores
pondence, direct or, Indirect and we respected
that confidence by abstaining from any refer
ence to the letters until we found the statement
in the New York journal. Secondly, in copying
the Times article, we excluded those personal
passages which we supposed Mr. Soule could
take just exception to- Thirdly, as the cores
pondence was not in our possession, it would
have been as idle as it would have been imper-
tinent and unprecedented to ask Mr.. Soule's
fiat for its publication nor had we any motive
for so novel a STEP as we had no reason to
doubt that the correspondence would, in due
time, be sent to Congress with the other papers
on the subject of our Spanish relations.

LETTER FROM MIR. soULE.

Some days ago a statement appeared in the
New York Times, which, after mentioning that
Mr.. Soule had suddenly changed his bearing
towards the administration, stated that the
change was produced by the discovery, on the
part Of Mr.. Soule, that Mr.. Perry, his Secre-
tary Of Legation had made certain communi-
cations to the Department of State. According
to the article in the Times, those communica
tions reflected so severely on the official conduct
Of Mr.. Soule, as to induce him TO avoid any
issue with the government, for fear Of their
publication. The National Lntclligcncer copied
the leading statement Of the Times, and, by
doing so, called from Mr.. Soule the following
letter:
New YORK, METROPOLITAN HOTEL,
March 22, 1855.
70 the Editors Of the National hatelligencer:
MEssRs. EprToRs: My attention has Just
been called to republication which appeared
in your number OF the 10Th instant of an
article from the New York Times of the 18th,
alluding to certain subrepttious correspon-
dence, held, it would seem, between II. T..
Perry, esq, my Secretary of Legation at Ma.
rid, and the Department of State at Washing
ton, and enclosing letters which had passed
between that gentleman and myself subsequent
to my departure from Spain in August last
Had not the article Of the "Ifmes" gone
beyond that paper | should have avoided no
ticing its contents; but when the grave Intetti-
genccr hesitates not to transfer it to its columns,
/ may well surrender what scruples | had
against thrusting myself on the attention of
the public, and be permitted to hazard word
Of answer.
The article Of the Times intimates that my
reserve and discretion since my return to
Washington could only be induced by the ap-
prehension that the above correspondence
should be sent to the public; and you, sirs,
not only seem to endorse that intimation, but
strive to make it more significant by the remark
that the story narrated in it "is Of too much
interest to be withheld from your readers, for,
although it be calculated to mystify, more light
may soon be thrown on the subject"
Ihad imagined that your keen sight, Messrs.

Gift Enterprises

Gift Enterprises seem 10 be everywhere
popular. Showmen charge specified amount Of
money for a ticket, which secures the purchaser
chance TO draw something valuable, while the pro-
pretors of the exhibitions draw large profits from
the credulity and pockets OF their patrons.
Several nights ago, eight hundred or more per.
sons, of both sexes, adventured, each :" a quar-
tern in the scheme of the "Dissolving Views"
While but few OF them found in the little boxes
which they had severally purchased, articles of
value worth speaking Of and showing, the others
were provided with soap, or perlumery, or incon.
siderable trides
On Friday night, the scheme repeated; and
hundreds of people again tried their fortunes.
A number Of Yankee clocks were among the
ar-tick.les, for prizes. AS the supply Of soap was
nearly exhausted on the two former occasions,
other things were substituted. The contents Of
four Of the boxes which we saw opened were,
first bone mustard or salt spoon secondly. half
a dozen chain links made Of thread and tin foil !;
thirdly, brass chain and fourthly, dozen shirt
buttons. The last fell the LOT Of an old bachelor
who laughed heartily
The scheme for aught we know 10 the contrary,
conducted fairly. Every one who buys a
ticket is assured he shall receive SOMETHING and
so he does.

The Osborne Murder.-The Washington
NetcS of yesterday says that "many persons in
this community have thought il very strange that
the proper authorities haye not offered reward
for the discovery and arrest of the blood-thirsiy
assassins who murdered William Osborne, near
his dwelling, three miles north Of this city, about
month ago"
We do not know whose business il is 10 offer a
reward; but we do know that when convcts
break out Of the Penitentiary the county Jail,
rewards are offered by Government officials for
their apprehension. Our city authorities, too,
have frequently offered large rewards for the ar
rest Of incendiares. But the murderer is suf-
fered to 60 at large without an effort being made
10 bring him TO justice

NATIVE WHEAr.-We have had the pleasure of
examining a most beautiful specimen of native
wheat grown in this parish, on the farm of Mr..
John Larkin, about seven miles below this place.
1t will compare favorably with the best specimens
of Northern and Western wheat The ears are
large, well formed and heavy, the berries hard,
heavy and round the straw Of fine length. There
is not the least appearance of rust or smut From
the lights now before us we doubt not that this
quality of wheat might be cultivated to advantage
on the low lands Of this and adjoining parishes.
