BALTIMORE, August 6th.-Fnrther corres-
pondence published in relation to the Brooks
and Burlingame affair, says that inasmuch
as Burlingnme was willing to meet Brooks
anywhere, he is directed by the latter to d.
rect place of me ting. He is authorized
to name any place within ten miles from
Washington, TO accept any place within one
hundred miles.
Campbell replies that his authority a. Bur-
lingame's friend ceased on the 29th u,.,
and informs Lane that he may communi-
cate with Buringame he thinks proper.
A. N. Lane informs Campbell that
Brooks will await Burlingame's address till
Thursday; he will then return to the city and
make an expose.
Campbell replies, rei,erating that his au-
thority TO Act for Burlingame had ceased,
that he was not informed Of his address, and
that neither Burlingame or himself feared
the threatened exposure.
The PERFECT paTTgRS.-Once, In all hu-
man history, we meet being who never did
an injury, and never resented one done TO
him, never uttered an untruth, never prac-
tised deception, and never lost an opportu-
nifty Of doing good generous in the midst
Of the selfish, upright in the midst OF the
dishonest, pure in the midst of the sensual,
and wise fur above the wisest OF sages and
prophets, loving aud gentle, yet immovably
resolute: his illimitable meekness and pa
thence never once forsook him in avexatious,
ungrateful, and cruel world.--lChris, in His
tory.
THE SHADOWS OF CWLpHooD.--God bless
the little children We like thir bright eyes,
their happy faces. their winning ways, their
rosy dreams! Nothing seems to weigh down
their huoyani spirits long; misfortune mny
fall TO their lot, but the shadows i, casts
upon their life path are hecting Is the clouds
that come and 60 in m April sky. Their
fortune may, perchance, appear dark to
others, but to their fearless gaze it looms up
brilliant and beautiful as the walls If y fairy
palace. There is no tear which y mothers
gentle hand cannot heal, no anguish which
the sweet mnrmuring Of her soft, low voice
cannot soothe. The warm, generous i'm
pulses Of their nature have not been fettcr-
ed and cramped by the cold formxlities OF
the world; they have not yet learned to veil
/, hollow heart with false smiles, or hide the
bascst purposes beneath honeyed words.
Neither are they constantly on the alert to
search out orr faults and foibles with Argus
eyes I; on the contrary. they exercise that
blessed charity which "thinketh no evil"

New HAMpsHIRE ELEcTIoNs.-We have
now returns from the whole State with the
exception of four small towns, which gave
last year Baker, 1873; Metcalf, 70; scatter
ing Is. This would make the vote stand ::
Wells, 5000
Metcalf, 2,120
Goodwin and scattering, 2,4SO
The whole vote (says the New Hampshire
Potriot) will exceed 66, 900, or 2, 900 more
than that of last year, when the largest vote
ever cast was thrown.
The Senate will stand Democrats to s
Abolitionists and Know-Nothings In re-
gard to the complexion Of the lower House,
the Patriot says:
''Whole number of representatives cleo
ted, 314; Democrats, $50; all others, 1854
This gives an apparent majority Of IA against
the Democrats; but among those reckoned
as against us are a number who cannot be
relied on for Metcalf.'
