Senator IInntcr,s Letter.

We have heretofore mentioned (says
the Baltimore Sum au interesting letter
of Senator Hunter, Of Virginia, on the
crisis, but, owing to the great demand
upon our columns by other political news,
we were compelled to give it but brief
notice lie says -" If there be RENEE
dy for the catastrophe which now seems
SO imminent, it rests chiefly with tho
North to provide for it," Speaking Of
the agitation made by the anti-slavcry
party at the North, he says -" The
seeds thus sown have already borne their
bitter fruits, and who can now say that
the final result will not be found in the
disruption of the Union p Further, he
says -" 1t is now almost certain that
one of the slavcholding States is about to
secede from the Union -Four more Of
them lying near her will soon follow her
example" With regard to the threat Of
cocrcing by force the seeding States, he
says -" Suppose they could succeed.
which be regards as improbable, even
impossible, what sort Of Union would
that be which could only maintain itself
by dragging along after it five or more
of its members ia captivity and chains 2"
Further -" The very nature Of the
compact of government into which the
United States entered. implies the right
to secede from the Union which il formed,
should the Northern States
refuse either to give the South new secu-
rites or to reinstate the old ones" la
the event of secession he advises Virginia
to go wish the South, and shows the adj
vantage Of so doing He would prefer
to see the South remain in the Union il
their rights were guaranteed, and says:
" My own opinion is that the non-slave-
holding States would do wisely to give
that security, and thus preserve union
and peace y and if refused, he felt surc
"a part Of the Southern States will So
cede."

counties of Wisconsin, and who is the
owner of an extensive lead mine at Shulls-
burg was candidate for the Legislature.
on the last election day, he hired 53 Re

had them all $50 feet below the surface
the ladder was drawn up to have some

In 4 FIx.-Dancing is all the rage IN
London now, among the servant girls
Once a week they want to go to a dancing
school 4 curious incident occurred at
one of these gathering the other day:
\ gentleman thought he would drop IN
to see what was going on; he soon, how
ever, became anxious to join in, and be
one of the dancers. Accordingly, he Sc
lected young lady, dressed in gorgeous
array" as partner, and was soon lost in
the giddy maze, to the tune of Tiddy Iddy
Rum but 10 he suddenly discovers that
he had been dancing with his own maid,
and she decked out in all the glory that
his wife's best dresses and jcwelry would
naturally lend for the occasion. The fair
danseuse, it appears, lost no time in ma
king her exit, and at about l o'clock
might have been climbing in at the back
window. Lothario, however, was non
plussed; he had argued and won many
case in court, but this one beat him. He
had told his wife that he was going to the
lodge, and she, dear creature, of course
believed him; under such circumstances,
to be oblivious appeared to him to be the
best policy, and so the deception at pres
ent stands-a caution to untalthful hus-
bands.
