A voic.. From Richmond.

We have been permitted to publish portion of
a letter received by gentleman of this place some
time since The author is sterling democrat and
one of the most influential and popular men in this
section of the State This letter speaks the will o.
the masses and feel assured no one who desires
to see our country prosper and continue to be, what
she now really is the model Republic of the world,
can but coincide with the views of the writer. In
referring to Mr. Wnslow's appointment minister
to Sardinia, he says:
81 certainly should feel regret at his retirement
from Congress at present The circumstances OF
the times would to require that weluled Ipea
sound expeIience should be the representa- E e
his retire it rtoryecrrcr ufIccrttIn WIZ
his successor and what will have been his afil171
dents. The well-bcng, tle ST ~ of the South
IN the Union, may probably will, depend in great
measure on the character Of her representatives in
Congress. and in view of the trying times to be ex-
pected in that body it certainly is not desirable for
the people whose representatives have pursued a
satisfactory course to change them for new men. =
We agree with the author.-Mr Winslow has been
faithful representative his entire course has been
sanctioned by his constituents and it is but due to
him that he should receive at the hands of the peo
pie such an overwhelming vote to cast Mr. Nc
Dufie in the shade for at least some time to come
Let us rally around him. act in good faith to him as
he has done us and let show at the ballot box
that we want a man, statesman who will reflect
honor upon us, to represent the 3rd Congressional

LIKES PoIITICs BETTER THAN RELIGION .-Jer-
emiah Shnde, ii minister of the " German
Evangelical Luthern Church." says the Pitts
5urgh Post was last fall elected member Of
PENNSYLVANIA State Senate. NecentIy the au-
thorites of the church adopted resolutions de-
rlar the holding of political office lncom-
patib.e with that of the clerical. Mr.. ShIndle
has therefore resigned his ministerial Office to
take effect the congregation under
his char.e can be suited with Clergyman
He has been connected with the synod of Penn

Com. Tattnal, Flag Officer of the American Squad
ron in the Chinese Seas has addressed letter to the
Secretary of the Navy giving an account of the cir
cumstances attending the repulse of the French and
English by the Chinese at the mouth of the Pieho River
From Com Tattnalls account, there appears to be lit
tie reason to question the fact that the Chinese delber
ateIy aimed to evade the ratification and exchange
of the treaties as well with the Americans with the
European powers, and that their conduct throughout
was treacherous and slippery. We should judge that
the Americans succeeded better than the Others nor
apparently do treaties amount to anything with the
Celestias. Beyond doubt, a heavy vengeance will bt
exacted but thing is evident, the Chinese are
learning to fight and the Northern tribes different
