NOBLE LETTER FROM Mrs. GAINEs.--Thc
New York Herald, with its characteristic
mendacity, lately announced that Mrs. Gen.
Gaines, ON her return from the South to
Washington, spoke depreciatingly of the
Confederate cause and the attention OF that
lady having been called to the statement,
she writes the following letter to the Balti-
moro Exchange;
WAsuIXGToN, d. c., Aug. 13, 1861.
To the Editors Of the Erchdnge:
My attention has been recently called to
several newspaper notices in reference to
| my late visit South, wherein l am made to
give utterancc TO certain opinions with re-
! gard to the state of things there.
Deeming it due to truth, to the South, and
to myself, |, unhesitntingly deny all such
statements. and ask of you place in your
paper for this prompt and uncquiyocal de-
nial. SO for from saying as reported, | am
! forced 10 add. that the reverse is the truth,
| to wit-tlat never saw so united people,
| or more rcsolute and determined q sol
cry, and that so far as saw andheard, |
had no doubt but they would stand by their
opinion to the last, and would sooner perish
than be subdued. These were the senti-
mcnts that met me everywhere through my
journey South, as | frankly stated to my
| friends since my arrival here, in answer to
their inquiries.
Very respectfully,
MYRA CLARK GAINES.

VINO Is GrN. AlSs7-Onc of our cotcm.
porarics yesterday inquired, with much
anxiety, who is Con. Rains, the associate
Of jackson of Missouri, in the recent battle.
as he tho Major Rains formerly Of the U.
S. Army, who resigned n few years sincc?'
III rcply, we would state, that We rather
think he is. Major (now General) Rains
was, we hear up to late date, quietly
pursuing his business at Ncwburgh, New
York, when it is supposed, not exactly lik-
ing the progressive usurpations Of Lincoln,
he quietly closed up his business, bid fare
we'll to his family, and we next hear of him
as above. Gen. Rains is n graduate Of
West Point, served in the Mexican war
with distinction, and was subsequently, in
struct or in military tactics at the West
Point Academy, and finally resigned about
five years ago, and became proprietor and
active manager of the Washington Iron
Works at Newburgh.-N Y. Day Book.
The Austin Intelligcncer adds that Gen.
Rains is brother of Hon.. Emory Rains Of
Wood County Texas.
