GENTLEMEN:-with a grateful pleasure l ac-
knowledge your communication of April goth,
delivered to me a short time since by the hands
of Mr. Maguire.
Your flattering imitation, so generously be-
slowed and so gracefully expressed; to cater the
Golden Gate, and visit youg beautiful land, is
one Of the highest compliments have ever re-
ceived. 1t is an honor | venture to say, was
never before conferred on one Of my profes-
sion.
1t com3s not from the lovers of the Drama.
or men of letters merely, but from the Execu
tive, the Representatives, and other high oifc-
ials Of great State of the American confedcra
cy and L shall ever regard it as one OF the
proudest compliments in all my professional
career.
Believe me, deeply feel this mark of your
kindness, not as mere incense to personal or
professional vanity. but as a proud tribute to
that Art which have loved SO well aud follow
ed so long.

This Art, permit me to add, which from my
youth have sought personally TO elevate, and
professionally to improve. more from the truths
in natures infallible volume, than from the pc
dAntic words Of the schools-a volume open to
all, and which needs neither Greek or Latin
lore to understand.
And now, gentlemen although deeply re-
gret that it is not in my power to accept your
Invitation, sincerely trust there will be a time
for such word, when we may yet meet togeth-
er under the roo Of one Of those proud temples
eonseerated to the Drama. by the taste aud the
munihcence of your fellow citizens
have the honor to be- &c..

SAMUEL P. SwAE.-Among the fated hundreds
who found grave in the depths of the Atlantic
ocean. by the sinking of the Central Am, rica,
Mr.. Samuel P Swan war numbered. Mr.. Swan
resided some years in Rough q Ready township,
and was formerly from CanOnsburg, Pennsyl-
vania. In the Washington (Pa.) Reuieo, edited
by his brother, we find the following notice of
the deceased:
He emigrated to California in 1880, crossing
the plains with that wondrous tide of hardy
adventurers who braved the trackless wilds,
the parched desert and the mountain gorge, to
seek their fortune in land of gold. The de-
ceased married in that country and settled near
Nevada City-then a gold hunters claim, now
thriving city-and prOspered in his worldly
affairs. He and his wife and infant daughter,
were on the lost ship, on visit 10 his friends
in this county, and to seek home in some of
the Atlantic States. 1t will be remembered that
the Captain of the Central America, by an act
of heroic selt-denial, was the means of saving
the women and children on board. Hence the
wife aud child of the deceased are now at the
home of his mother in Canonsburg.
He was calm, brave, high-hearted man; fond
of travel, and amazingly endowed with the true
wanderers faculty of suitng himself to every
emergency. We venture to say that of all the
toiling men who strove to save the sinking ship,
not one worked with more unflagging courage
and determined spirit than he-when last seen
was working bravely at the pumps.
Poor wandererl 1t was not permitted him
TO see his native land-to press TO his heart his
wife and child, his gray-haired mother and low
ing sisters and brothers. But far away from
the household Gods of home-young, brave and
high OF hope-he was stricken down, and now
