To MY Bro ther Officers o f the Army and Navy
of the Southern Con fe ederacy.

ANOktOLk, uHt L, ioOl.
Widely separated as we are, l have no other
medium of communication, and conseq uently
address you through the press, and upon q
subject dear to us all, and TO which feel as
sured your generous hearts will most cheer
fully respond. Our once beloved Union has
forever gone, and We are now engaged in q
deadly and unnatural struggle for our liber
lies and homes, against the Northern portion
OF that Union. But short time previous 10
our separa ton, our pay, which had been for
many years inadeq uate 10 the support OF our
families, was largely Increased by the Federal
government aud we were made very comt0rta-
bic IN our circums tanees. The cause In which
we are now engaged is dear to all our hearts and
must and will be maintained at all hazards.
Ii must however, be attended with great e&-
pense, and as but few of lis have any private
means at our disposal 10 offer in behalf of
this glorious cause, propose that we deter
mine 10 receive but a small compensation for
our servlees-1ust sufficient for the actual
neeessaries OF life--and let us one and all econ
omize to the uttermost for this end and, for
my own part, with flood aud raiment of the
plainest sort, shall be therew nteut."
Let us call meetings of our brother officers
upon the different stations where we are now
serving, for this purpose, and lay the subject
before them at once.

Copy OF II Letter Sent A. Lincoln. President
CT the United States.

SOUTH CAR0LINA, May, 1851.
President LincOtn-Dear Sir From Old
Abraham, your name-sake, to Soloman, the
wIsest man OF earth-they all had their slaves
by hundreds, and as thousands of others have
mad theirs, and stiil have, Heaven must have
been peOpled TO a considerable extent with
slave owners, before Abolitionism ever exist
ed, and il we may judge from the presentanx
lety OF Aboitionists, they would have all th e
old Patriarchs and Fathers hurled out OF
Heaven, or would cause such discomfort
among them that they would have TO seceeie
from such God -dictators as they seem to be-
If God thinks proper on this earth 10 make a
distinction between the human races, what
right mas man TO say, "why dost thou?'' II
we are permitted to have any of the know
ledge that we possess on earth in Heaven
would there not be prospect OF some i'll feel.
ing? My own notion is, that Heaven is all
harmony and will ever be, and all causes
that have contrary tendency Will be eX-
plunged. Heaven has been too long establish
ed TO be influenced with new ideas, such as Alb
olitionists have, which would dispossess Hea-
ven of its first occupants. Let us reconcile
this subject for Christ's sake upon ca rth; if
not, don't see how the Aboltionist can face
the many Shareholders in Heaven. They GER
tainly. don't think of setting Heaven an exam
pie of morality. MOTHER IN ISRAEL.

A SNORING WIFB.-Talk about your scoldug
wives and yoar smoky chimneys, but they
amt nowhere-they amt circums tance. l
would rather have chimney that emits
smoke enough to cure the whole family and
be forced to live with dozen Xantippes all
together, than to have 10 put up" with Il
snoring wife. Oh the very idea makes Il
nervous man tremble from the top of his
stovepipe hat to about a foot below the soles
OF his boots ! A snoring wife Boo 600,
But started out TO tell story, and | am
going to do it.
Well, 'tIn life's morning march, when nv
bosom was young / wooed and won the
beautiful and accomplished Miss Ann NJ
Dash. The difficulties of the courtship will
not here ennmerate, for they will not weave
in To the plan of this story, which is intended
10 be short-very short.
The appointed time for the wedding arrived
and hundreds of young people, from far and
near, assembled at the mansion Of the old man
Dash, to witness the ceremony and "trip the
light fantastic toe.' 1t was Il brilliant we'd
ding, and "Happiness, our beings end and
aim, was ours. When a couple really love,
their wedding day Is the happiest OF their
lives, and if they should be unfortunate in at
ter life, they look back TO that day as bright
oasis in the desert of their memory. About
TWO O'Clock IN the morning the company broke
~ and we Went to bed.
Before got To sleep my wife began To SRore.
/ was dumbfounded 'tYe gods ~ [ men
tally elaculated, ''is this a reality? Is it pos
sible that am bound up for life TO a woman
who snores ~ l was mi serabe
Here had been just moment before in &c =
stacies over the possession of, as l thought, a
treasure. "Can love her 2? / asked of my
heart, and the answer instantly came at Is
impossible ;" l debated with myself wheth-
er or not L should ''seeede,'' but snoring was
not a ground of divorce. II ought to be
lyon bet" / sat up in bed, and from tisAik-
ing l went to talking.
Il can't and won't stand this III Just get
up and leave, let the conseq quences be what it
may. l love her, l know, but did not know
that she snored.'
About this time l noticed that she had quit
snoring, and was shaking the bed with sup
pressed laughter, and began to see that was
sold. There never was poor devil, before
nor since, that reloiced more at discovering
that he had been sold.
Why" said she, " l thought You promised
to take Inc for better or for worse but here
you are raising row, and threatening TO
leave me at the first little fault you find about
me-"
Well, said 1, Z" will make the same prom
ise again, if you won't snore; but I'll be
hanged if would live with q snoring wife ten
minutes"
