Drytown Correspondence.
DRYrowN. March both. Is
the Assembly

MEssRs. EDIroRs:-No matter how am
biguous" the hints of Homer" were, Mary's
remarks in last weeks Ledger are definite
and to the point. In her reproof she is un-
spar.ng; her sty lie however is masculine, and
she might properly be credited with gender
not usually associated with the name.
'Tis said that in writing
Tracks sometimes are seen
With bold an impression
As in snow on the plain.
I've been on the mountains,
Where's plenty of snow,
Learn'd the track Of the for
From the track of the doe.
This feminine veil being a matter Of choice,
permit it for my present purposes to remain,
and consider "Mary" to be kind of implo-
ring beauty, who has tasted of the sorrows
which ''make women weep" and whose sym
pathies are excited because of the aberra-
tions of men. The evils to which she directs
attention are not naturally associated with
the Fantastic display which Homer playful
ly noticed; nor was there aught, 10y him
said, in the least calculated to excite either
her ire or her pity. 1t is hard to tell how
many instances Of folly it takes to make one
permanently foolish, or what degree of mat
tention to the proper culture of oneself may
prove dangerous to the best interests of man
or woman. Hence, ! trust these friendly
notes may prove profitable alike to Mary and
myself and here promise to be at least no
party in making might hideous," or in any
other way disturbing her rest.
Gambling and drinking are vices Of dark
hue, and may be prevalent as Mary AYERS ;
yet upon these matters she seems to be better
posted than myself In fact, Drytown was
considered model of sobriety, aud hitherto
| looked upon tight men as strangers to
the place Temperance meetings, it is true,
are not well attended; but this is owing to
the busy times among the fair ones, conse-
quent upon the numerous dances in the vi
cinity. Balls are supercedng the necessity
of any other reformatory movements, and
therefore in this way the attention Of phian-
thropists is more specially directed
certainly would not hesitate to aid Mary
in winning men from their errors; yet guess
the suggestion was intended more as a slap
at "Homer" than the elevation of society,"
There is no question but the examples of
Homer might, in many respects, be improved; !;
yet the fight mentioned was surely one Of
those sudden necessities which occur some
times, even in a well regulated life The
ephcmera reformation with which Mary con
cludes exhibits fine fancy, but the lawful
precipce' to which she points strikes me with
sudden awe; hence here comply with her
laconic exhortatiou and now ''stopand think
how may extrcate myself from the perilous
position in which she has me placed.

\, THE ISLAND OF FoRMosA. Under date Of the
Goth the washington correspondent of the Philadel
phia Press writes
N The mission Of Captain j. D. simms, Of the U. s.
Marine Corps, to the Island Of Formosa lying off the
coast of China, is to great extent misunderstood
and that it may appear in its true character will
state the facts as have learned them from the
highest authority. s
& Com Armstrong, commanding the East India
Squadron, received q letter from Mr. Robinet, an
enterprising merchant, who for more than year
has been carrying on the mercantile and shipping
business at Apes Hill, Island Of Formosa with the
information that the American ship Hghhyer,
wrecked upon the island had been plundered, and its
officers and crew murdered by the natives.
Some time after another American vessel, the Pro-
gessive was seized by the Chinese authorities, and
the officers and crew imprisoned They were only
released on the payment of heavy ransom.
ALI these proceedings were contrary to the ex-
press understanding with the authorities of the
Island that Mr. Robinet should carry on his business
unmolested, and under which he had been acting
with the American flag flying from his residence for
at least twelve months.
Commodore Armstrong dispatched Capt Smms to
inquire into and ascertain the correctness of Mr..
Robinets report. The Commodore instructed him
in cautious prudent, and friendly manner, to learn
from the authorities all that could be ascertained on
the subject reporting to him. by every opportunity
such information as he should obtain.
His headquarters were directed to be at Mr.. Robi.
nets, Apes Hill, where the American flag had been
fyingss stated by Mr. Robnet, by permission Of the
anthd9&es, for more than year. He was to abstain
from hostities as far as possible but in case Of ne
cessty he was to call upon the Americanshp Science.
All these facts were communicated to DR.. Parker,
orr Commissioner to China, with further statement
that Captain Simms would be kept at Formosa until
the Government could be heard from, and that this
step might be necessary to legitimate prior
American foothold in case our Government should
look to future reprisals and occupancy.
4 Dr.. Parker approved what had been DONE The
last communication to the Government was dated
april 10th, 1857, at which time nothing had been
heard Of Captain Simms
