"To q. JENNINGS WIS.,, ESQ: From the moment
you became resident of this city to the present you
have been playing the part o bully, braggat, and
blackeuArd like poisonous reptile, seemingly i'll
different al whom OF at what party You struck. pro-
yded you had victim on whom yonr venom could be
poured, until by common consent yon have come to be
regarded al nsuierabe nuisance to the society ~
which you have taken up your abode In your card Of
Yesterday aimed at whom you could not offend, and
who las not digned your eplst- ny perusal OF its
filthy contents because he far above your reach, aud
who has already notified you that he would neither
handy epitbtts nor engage IN personal quarrel with
ole Of yonr year, yOu have n sorted to tissue of
low. vulgar and caImn0us falsehoods, which no ct-
zen If responsibility will recognize or indorse and
which could only have emanated from a heart filed
with malg gnity, depravity and vice. To accomplish
political end, and without prUvoc alton, you have made
statements so VIGOROUSLY uniounded aud untrue, dts
played such reckless disregard Of all that is manly,
honorable admissible in political or personal war
fare ~ offended against sll decency, decOrun and
good breeding to have outraged the feelings of his
family, his friends aud society generally. You have,
therefore left me- his only son, alternative but To
pronounce you base, malignant, depraved caumna-
tor and fasiter Of truth, honor and gentema1ly in
stiIcts, To which none but outlaw and rniiian
would have Iesorted. Is. B BoTfS.
The Washington correspondent Of The baltimore
SIN says "The Administration are, il is believed, fully
alive the chances afforded for the acqus oi
Cuba, and our European diplomacy will be at once d-
reced to that end and not without some hope that il
will be effective before the termination of the next ses-
sion Of Congress-"
1t is said that Mr.. Bishop, of Connecticut, who
