Preston 8. Brooks.

An occasional correspondent of the New
York Times writes as follows concerning the
continued absence of Senator Sumner from
Washington, and the feeling there towards
his assailant Brooks.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, December l6, 1856.
Mr.. Summers protracted absence from his
scat in consequence of continued debility, the
effect OF the fearful blows inflicted upon him
by the ruffian Brooks, is much regretted in
Washington circles, legislative social, and
diplomatic, in all of which he has ever been
a decided favoritc. The feeling against his
assailant, though not expressed in a way to
attract the attention Of casual visitor, is
nevertheless strong and deep. lie is looked
upon by the mass even of those who treat him
with respect which ought to be commanded
by the Office he fills, with feelings of detesta-
ton and adherence.
Nor is he satisfied with his own conduct
lie is not so brutalized in heart as some sup
pose him. Far from it. Those who will watch
him from the galleries OF the House Of Repre-
sentatives, or as he walks the streets, casting
his nervous stealthy glances from side to side,
as if he expected each shadow to spring into
an avenger of his | rothers blood those
who note his forced gayety, and the hollow
| insincerty of his laugh at q harroom joke,
cannot fail to see in them the operations of
the silent inward monitor ever scOurging his
soul.
year ago he was gay, happy, proud and
selfrespectful. In the House and out Of the
House he was well received everywhere.
Now he is tolerated rather than received,
and the circle of his associates and famiIars
is very limited Northern ladies directly cut
or silently avoid him ; and few Southern

doubtless esteem it. they consider their debt
| Of gratitude ended, and themselves released.
| Like franklin when he proposed that grace be
said over the whole barrel of pork at once,
they feel that they did up all the gratitude
at home, and are not called upon now to hclr
him, by their open coutenance, to regain the
position in the public estimation which he
| has forfeited.
But took my pen up not to write hom
| ly, but to relate Il bit Of gossip which ] have
heard, and the truth of which is not denied
Some days ago Brooks met in the Rotunda OF
the Capitol Massachusetts lady with whom
he was formerly on excellent relations. Sh'

since the Sumner assault Approaching her
Brooks bowed politely and familiarity wher
the lady vindcatcd the spirit of the tru

The Presidents Message is the first
half of it--and the action of political parties
and political men during the late canvass,
and their respective positions and intentions

the Senate are specially remarkable We
have received copy of the latter and intend
to give a part or all of it to our readers in
day or two. The Geographic epitomo of Mr.

to committees. Those Of most interest to

Leonard Scott ~ Co.'s Reprints of the

We draw attention to the advertisement of
Leonard Scott Il Co., of New York, of their
