From the New York Printer.
John Miller and "Junius."
PENDLEToN, s. c., August

PENDLEToN, s. c., August l8, 1859.
Mr.. JOHN HENRY: Dear SI-In looking over
your July number, 1 CHANGED to notice piece, in
your EDITORS Drawer" entitled Remarkable
Printer" Will you permit me to echo and re-
ho-''remarkabls printer" John Miller was
remarkable printer" Judging from your style
of writing the comments upon2the paragraph ia
ken from the Messenger, I suppose it ironical. I
am, however, proud to say that can prove John
Miller's acquaintance with the far-famed "Juni-
u.s." Indeed, one of the letters from "Junius" to
"Woodfalr' stated, and proves the facts. The
letter is as follow: ..-- -
"If 'Woodfalp feels any hesitancy in publish
ing these letters, please hand them over to John
Miller of the Euening Post"
Now want it distinctly understood, that the
Evening Post and the Advertiser were owned by
the same person or persons. John Miller scas per-
secuted for the publication of "Junius's" letters,
and left England. He arrived in this country at
about the age of eighteen, considered q number
one printer for. the times. r. ~ II
Yours respectfully,
In the "Art preseryative, E.S.

He turned away in silence;
And the light, which is life, in her heart grew
dim,
For she saw by the icy glare in his eye
That the past was past, for him
Was past, for him.
He turned away in coldness;
And she felt that the hope in his hearthad died
That the past with ali its tenderness
Lay then on the altar of Pride .-,
A holocaust to Pride.
There's something reveals all,
However the soul may have trusted before;
As though 'twere undone by the crash that comes
It can trust no moreno more
1t cA trust no more.
There's mien-aye, mark it-that never
From the form one fortunate moment departs !;
IT'S veil thrown by Mercy to cover,
mot to hide, but to spare, such hearts-
To spare such hearts.

There's tone that is hushed, o never!
As increasingly sad as an oceans moan
Whose tide is the food Of human woe,
Whose roar is, Alone-alone-
Alone-alone;-
Whose groan is, Alone-alone.

Resolved. That we cordially anproye Of the

Resolved, That after the fierce Pronunciation Of
George W. Summers by the Democratic party, on
account of the opinions which he held in 1881, on
the subject OF slavery, in common with Thomas
Ritchie, and other statesmen Of Virginia which
opinions he publicly and emphatcally racaned in
the canvass OF 1851, we are unable to perceive the
consistency Of that party in the nomination of
John Leeher, who in 1913 was in favor of u di-
vision of Virginia with view 10 making the
Western part of it Free State, and that the set
ting forward OF such man lis standard bearer
tends but little to confirm the Of repeated yaupts
of partiality for Southern interests,
Resolred, That we oppose the election of John
Letcher Us Governor Of this Sta;o because of his
approval of the Ruaner pamphlet, because he ia-
yored division Of the State Of virginia for the
purpose Of making the Western part of it Free
State. because of his sneers in the Convention Of
Virginia at the 'negro-ology' and "negro-ocra-
cy" of Eastern Virginia, because we cannot be-
lieve in the sincerity of the change in John
Letchers opinions on the subject of slavery, con
frmed and fixed at such late period as lS4S,
when that subject had been thoroughly investiga-
ted, discussed and understood and because we be-
lieve that his recent conversion as set forth in his
GARD Of acceptance, has been brought about Who'll
