LETTER OF HORACE GREELEY TO SENATOR
SKwARD.-The following, from the New York
Atlas, is the much talked of letter, which was
addressed six years ago by Mr.. Greeley to Sen.
ator Seward, seyering all further connec ton
with the latter, in consequence of his refusal
to promote the claims Of the philosopher of
the Tribute to political preferment:
NEW YORK, Nov. j, 1854.
To the Hon. WD'. H. Se,cnrd:
Sir-I desire to say to you, that the firm Of
Seward, Weed Il Greeley is from this day dis
solved, by the withdrawal Of the junior men,
ber of the firm. When l edited the Jeffersonian
at Albany, you and your friends acknowledged
the effect of my labor in your cause, in ele-
waiting yOn 10 the office of Governor and U. S
Senator For my labors in sustaining you
only received ten dollars week to support my
wife, self and child. When you were Governor
of this State. with great patronage in your
hands, no offer Of any position to assist me
was ever made. When General Harrison was
elected President you had full control of the
Federal patronage in this State, and received
no consideration at your hands. When Gen.
etal Taylor was elected President you also
had the principal distribution of the Fed
eral patronage, and in connection with
Mr.. Weed, you made Hugh Maxwell col
lector of this port, n man who was never
entitled TO the confidence of the Whig party.
1ns tead of rewarding men who had faithfully
adhered to Henry Clay and to you. such men
as Zebedee Ring. an outcast from Nova SEQ
tia, was appointed surveyor of the port; Da-
vd "A. BOkee was made naval officer; William
" Brady, postmaster; William H. Leroy,
navy agent; Hiram Fuller, naval storekeeper; ;
John Young. sub-treasurer; and man was
select ed for United States Marshal whom you
know l cannot name. And yet, while you
knew had lost every dollar l possessed, in
starting the Galway line of steam packets to
benefit Ireland and yourself, no offer was
made me of assistance or place. Subsequently,
it was understood by my friends that should
be the candidate of onr party for Governor,
and your consent was given ; but, instead of
supporting me, You and your friends nomi-
mated that trimmer and little villain, Ray
mond. tor Lieutenant Governor, who was OF
no advantage to our party, and II man whom
TO know is to detest In all the positions
have labored to place you, the emoluments
and the honors have been divided between
yourself and Weed. l have now to say, that
any support you may hereafter receive from
me will be because it is necessary for the par
ty, but not from personal consideration.
Yours, &c, HORACE GREELEY.

BRUTALITY IN THE BRITISH ARMY.-The

piece of brutality as having just been display

gun.earriage, and as he was eithS1 unable or
too obstinate to walk, he was drag yged out Of
town as far as TingewickrOad Bridge, and
only released from the wheels of the gun-car-
riage wheu it was found that he was on the
verge of strangula'ion. black in the face, and
blood gushing In torrents from bis nose ana

ARSENIC IN AGRICULTURAL PLANrs.-Dr
e. w. Davy has detected arsenic In peas, CAB
bages, and Swedish turnips, which had been
manured with super phosphate OF lime. This
fertilizer Is very extensively manufac tured in
from various phosphate minerals, and from
bones, by the help OF arsenical Oil Of vitroil
The arsenic, being thus proved to enter vege-
taiion, may very easily and naturally pass
into animals, and be retained in their organism.
This is another striking, presumptive proof Of
the worthlessness Of that theological evidence
which hangs man on the strength Of minute
traces Of arsenic being found In working up
several pounds of flesh and viscera.

ALARMING INCREASE OF CELIBACY.-This
cal economists, and in an article on the sub
ject, " Once a Week. thus remarks:
The probabilities of marriage of a maiden
at twenty are slightly superior to those of a
bachelor, and incomparably greater than
those of a widow of the same age but with
the lapse of years the ratios change; the prob
abilities Of marriage at thirty-five being, for
a bachelor, one to tWenty seven for spins
ter, one to ilirty-five; and for Il widow, one
to fiye--the attractions OF the widow standing
to those of the spinster in the surprising re-
lation of five to One-Or, perchance, that num-
her mystically represen ting her comparative
readiness 10 matrimony. Thus the chance of
finding happiness and a home dimnishes
with years.
The growing disposition to celibacy among
the young men of this class, though in some
measure attributable to selfish and luxurious
cynicism, is chiefly due to the irrational ex-
penditure consequent on marriage, and the
unattractivehess of prospective associations
with women unlikely, from their artificial
habits, TO yield domestic happiness II this
ceibacy frequently defeats the economical
consideration deciding to it, (as it should.)
and ends in much immortality and unhappi-
ness among men, how lmmeasurabiy eNil
must be its influence on the other sex and
what a violation of natural law must that So
cial organization be which so harshly re-
presses the affections, and bereaves SO large
class of the support and sympathy they are
untitled to from man! Is the RajapoOt pride
that Stays female infant, lest In after life
it should dishOnor its parentage by plebelan
marriage more cruel than the selfish social
system that deyotes it to a solitary and weary
life of psnury and regrets!

EARTHQUAKES IN SOUTH AMERICA - Re
marka5is Phsnomema-Th season has been un-
usually prolific of earthquakes in South Ame-
rica. A letter dated Cailao, April 2.th, says :
On the l9lh inst, a very heavy shock was
felt at three-Qnarters to two in the morning,
which lasted eighty seconds. 1t was said TO
have been the heavieAt shock that had been ex.
perienced since the snbmerging of old Callao,
and the general opinion is that Lima and CAL
lao cannot stand much heavier shaking
However, on Sunday, at half-past =. NJ. the
ground commenced To shake in good earnest t.
but lasted only fifteen seconds, doing IN that
short space Of time the estimated damage, in
Lima, OF one million of dollars. in Callao
about twenty thousand aud in Choriilos abo t
forty thousand and destroying several es-
tates i'll Canete, which may be set down at two
hundred thousand dollars. In Manta trees
Were rooted out of the ground, and one of the
mountains close by was rent in two, and pro-
duccd a volcano of hot fpted water.
The earthquake then took northern course
the greatest effect was in Canete; the greatest
state of alarm exists. All the public squares
are occupied by families, who prefer the open
air to their insecure houses. Up to the present
time slight shocks continue to be felt ; l have
counted twenty eight, but there have been
many more.
On Monday, in Callao an alarm was raised
that the sea was receding from the shore. and
presenting the same phenomenon as in 11i9,
during and preceding The sinking of old Cal
lao People were to be seen running about
greatly distracted, and general panic pre-
vailed All the roads leading out of Callao
were lined with affrighted sinners, fleeing
from the wrath to come. Special trains Were
running al; day carrying away hundreds TO
Lima, whilst the most devoted of fanatics
Went TO Bella VISTA and took from the church
the image of the Senior del Mar, the same that
was used in l7i9; procession was formed,
accompanied by Il band of music and a guard
of honor, and the image thai was to calm the
sea and bring it back 10 4 proper sense of its
duty was carried down to the mole with all
the pomp and ceremony the church could az
ford. After remaining short time it was
carried back to the church OF Santa Rosa,
where it remains to be used again in case the
sea should again be refractory. The same
evening proclamation was issued by the
Project, calling the inhabitants back to their
houses, assuring them that the alarm was
false and that if in case the sea began to show
symptoms of overlooking the city, the fact
would be announced by the firing OF three
canEons, SO that there would be time to escape
AS yet the greater portion of the families who
left Callao have not returned.
