We shall be at Cowes tonight. Ou
Purser has an open mail bag for passen
gers letters, which he delivers there. The
opportunity of stretching out my hand tc
write again to re-greet his old acquaintance
of the Tribune, is pleasant one for your
correspondent. He feels sure that they
will find it pleasant too-for he has good
news, better than any Paris gossip, to tell
You know that Charles Sumner took
MASSAGE with us, seeking health in a Euro
pean voyage. He was already begun te
find it. There is fair promise that the
hopes of his physicians and the ardent
wishes of all Americans who honor the
eloquent defender of truth, and right will
be fulfilled. The cure that had gone on so
slowly up the 7th of March is now advanc-
ing more rapidly. To look at Mr.. Sumner
now, and converse with him, as he stands
firmly on the unsteady deck-for we have
had rather a rough and tumble passage in
this March weather. can understand why
a ruffian, chivalric rufian, would choose
knocking such man when he was down,
rather than the attempt to knock HIM
down. | would earnestly recommend to
any highwayman, an italian brigand, for
instance, who may be tempted to attack
Mr.. S. in the course of his summer travels,
to watch his opportunity, and it possible,
to take him sitting. That would be safest.
For a long time one of the most painful
symptoms Of Mr.. Summers case was an
oppressive sense OF weight or structure on
tie brain, which was increased by any In
tellectual action, even by conversation
This was accompanied by a general deblll-
ty, and a special sensibiliiy Of the spinal
cord, and of the entire nervous system.
He could not walk without difficulty
to rise from his chair was painfnl effort.
This state of things, though gradually mo-
dified for the better, continued down to the
time of his coming on ship-board. 1t was
aggravated, however, by his resumption of
duty al Washington a few days before,
which nothing but strong determination
of will-pluck, to use good brawny word
enabled him to perform.
His physicians have for months been ad-
vising him to go abroad, looking for bene-
fetal results from the VOYAGE and from the
complete separation from the cares and re-
sponsibilities that must beset him at home.
They did MT depreeate sea sickness, but
thought it might be of benefit in his case.
Thus far their anticipations seem to be
favorably answered by facts. The sea air,
and the sea-sickness, of which last MIR.
Summer has had more than his fair share,
coupled with the complete rest, have begun
their good work. For seven days he was
confined to his state-room, feeble and with
out appetite. Since then he has been con-
stantly growing stronger. The abnormal
sensation in the brain, spoken of above,
seems to have entirely disappeared; and
the general nervous system is recovering its
natural vigor. He rises from a seat with
out difficulty, and walks the deck for hours
still putting his hand 10 his
back-but that, he tells me, is partly from
the habit acquired during the long time
when the sensibility of the spinal cord was
painful This morning was glad to see
hin appear on deck without his staff.
Mr. Sumner has been from the beginning
less anxious about himself than his friends
have been. The morale has throughout
upheld the physique; and to this strength
Of his moral constitution, as believe, he
and we under God owe his life to-day and
the good work which, we trust, he is yetto
do.
The great fear has been of congestion of
the brain, which would be brought on if he
applied himself to affairs before the injur-
ed organ was perfectly restored.
Mr. Sumner tells Inc that he "now con-
siders his complete restoration at hand."-
He looks forward to much enjoyment in re-
newing his early impressions of European
scenes. He will first go to Paris, when his
course will be determined by the state of
his health, but he confidently trusts that he
may be so well that this consideration will
be banished from his thoughts.
