THE LETTER.
To Judge Thomas A. MARSHALL and jas. o
Harrison Esq

SEPTEMBER Is, 1866.
Gentlemen, Having seen, from time tc
time, the most abusive aud unjust attacks
made upon my son, James B. Clay, III the
louisville Journal, had hoped that among
the many who have professed to be the friends
of the father might be found some willing
and anxious to Yindicate the son, knowing
as many of them must know, the injustice
and untruths contained in those attacks. -
But as such hopes appear to be fruitless, re-
pugnant as it is to me to come in any way
before the public, feel that it is a duty that
L eve TO TIE memory OF my husband, to say
to you, his executors, and through you to the
public, that the charges made against my
son James are utterly false that lie possess
ed the love, respect and confidence of his
father, and was ever, to both his father and
myself, most atfectionate and dutiful sou
always endeavoring to alleviate our sorrows
and add TO our happiness.
His father took his advice IN the making
Of his last i7i,l, ard at all times advised and
consulted freely and ahectionately with him.
having confidehce n his love, integrity and
judgement.
lie was not Nth his fa+fidf7 81 81 the time Of
bib death, it being the expressed desire of
his father, knowing the condition of his fam
lly-in distant State, upon a new place,
among strangers, and his wife in feeble
health, herself but lately bereaYed of a
father, that he should not leave them and go
to him.
lie lcas present at his fathers funeral
directing the mournful preparations and Of
fering words Of consolation and of comfort to
his widowed mother.
1t was my husbands desire and hope that
his son James should become the possessor Of
Ashland, and although it had been my in
to reside at Ashland during nv
lifetime, yet partly owing to the tumbling,
tuinous condition of the house, through one
of you, Mr.. James O. Harrison, I begged
my son to come and purchase the place.
| have only to add, gentlemen, that I
make this statement to you uitho@ the
knowledge of my son James, and to regret
once more that l should have been drawn
forth from the privacy and seclusion in which
| had hoped to pass the brief remnant Of my
life

felt called upon to make a public defence of
hi. conduct. The defence was characteristic
of the man. "Vcsscls of war;" he said, 'are

needed when great necessity existed for her
elsewhere, would be acting unworthy of his
position. After his dismissal he took up his
abode in New York City, and has since CON
timed to dwell there. The failure of his
hopes, and his great misfortune weighed
heavily on his mind HIS HAIR became re-
pidy gray with grief AMI all his acts betlay-
ed him 10 he broken hearted man.
No one who knew him had any but feelings
of respect for him. HIS faults, if they were
faults, were errors attributable to an mpul-
sive disposition, and were far outweighcd by
his manly and solid virtues. He was as gen
crous as brave and impetuous. His melan-
cholv demise will be regretted by all who
knew him, as well as by those acquainted
with his singular and romantic career.
He leaves behind wife and daughter
Both are now in Spain. Y. 1imce.

A Call to Spring.

Come. oh, come! thou has tarried long
Come with the glory of light and song
Earth pines for thee on thousand shores,
Where the billow breaks, and the wild wind roars;
There's voice of wall mid the ancient trees,
Torn and tost by the wintry breeze,
Gloom hath shrouded our pleasant bowers,
Death hath blighted our vines and flowers,
And every hour on its fceting wing,
Bears away pray or for thee, oh, Spring!
Come, oh come we pine for thee,
AS pines the wandcrer fer home, ut sea!
AS the captive pines in his lonely cell
For the d;shing waters and the breezy dell!
We sigh for the influence that life rencws,
For the spell of soft Sunshine and balny dews,
For the genial airs and the pleasant rain,
To wiken our blossoms and streams again.
IL come come; am coming back!'
Thus answered voice from the sun's bright track;
II will cothe the heaven fair face with smiles.
will call the birds from IL thousand isles,
The streams shall laugh where the violets blow,
The trees cxult and the laurcls glow
There's not a beauty, nor bloom, nor hue,
That the charm Of my presence shall not renew"
Der much of beauty that's from us past
Eyes that looked love into ours are dim,
Voices are hushcd from vesper hymn,
Bright young faces have past away,
Places vacant at fall of day;
Thou can's st hang the leaves on thousand trees,
Thou can st bring the birds. the flowers and bees,
Thou cant loosen the streams and sivpry fOunts.
And breathe glory o or wales and r.ounts,
But thou can st not restore to our yearLing arms
The vanished past with its lovely forms.
yet speak to the heart in my radiant bloom,
or II Spring that opens beyond the tomb,
Where the lost and loved of the earth are found,
Where the severed wreaths arc forever bound
Where comes no dimness DER eyes Of light,
And the check of beauty nc'cr knows blight
There's not beauty, nor bloom. nor hue,
That the charm of my presence shall not renew T.

How TO USE FROZEN Misunderstanding re-
Gently seen a quantity Of frozen apples con-
ve,t,d into apple butter" the thought oc-
cured to me that the mode might be novel
and practicable to yourself or some of your
readers. and therefore proceed to give the
manner of making.
Into large brass kettle (tcn gallon) put
eight pounds of sugar and half pail of wa
ter. Hang it over slow fire till the sugar
is fully dissolved, when apples pared and
quartered may be put in gradually and stir
red constantly until it is done Add from
time to time until about two bushels and
half of apples have been used. The most
convenient method for stirring so large a
quantity is to take long stick, and fas,cn
at right angles another, as long as the kettle
is deep at one end Of the stick. When suff-
GENTLY cooked, every lump will disappear,
and the mass appear smooth and Of n rcd
dish color. Ifrequird to keep year. Il
little more sugar must be added and the
whole boiled longer. As test to know when
done, take spoonful and drop it into sau-
Ger; if not drop of juice runs from it over
the saucer, it is cooked enough to furnish you
an excellent and h althy sauce the year round
it is fine way to preserve frozen apples or
those liable to decay. Peaches can be used
in the same manner. Yours, etc. ,--Co,. Of
Life Illustrated.

A NOVEL STEAM ENGlNE.-Mr. James
Black exhibited, on Thursday last, at the
machinery shop Of Mr.. NJ. Alder. novel
steam engine, for which he has applied for
a patent. 1t is called the "Impcllrng En-
CINE and the whole engine consists of four
cylinders, each three feet six inches long, ten
riches in diameter, and each containing a
piston weighing two hundred and fifty pounds
Each two opposite pIstons connect with rods
No cross heads, piston rods, cranks or slides
are required. but merely pully for the band
which is placed at the end of the shaft
This engine is about twelve horse power.
weighs three tons, and occupies SPACE of
eight feet by four feet Thcinventor claims
for it great saving in the consumption of
fuel, in consequence Of the direct action of
the steam npon the cylinders and piston,
which revolvc like the arms of Windmill
and any required amount of power may be
given to these engines by increasing the
length and breadth and weight of the cyin-
d"rs To give it its fnll power, it is claimed
that only one-third the pressure Of steam is
required as in ordinary steam engines. The
engine is certainly novel in its construction,
and will attract much attention.

TIE STEAMER PACIruc.-The Liverpool
Times attaches very little Importance to the
statement that pieces of floating doors, sup
posed to have come from the missing steamer
Pacific, had been seen floating at sea by a
passenger in the steamer Edinburg. The
Times says this piece of news was not made
public until two weeks after the Edinburg ar
rived out, and then adds:
1t appears that the statement respecting
the fragments Of the steamer supposed to be
lost, rests exclusively OH the testimony Of one
of the passengers by the Edinburg uncorrob-
GRATED by any other evidence. The Edin-
burg has since returned to New York, and
the captain. when in Scotland, made no off,
cial report OF the circumstance.
A letter from one of the Edinburg's pass
cngcrs, received in New York, makes no
mention Of it,
