To the Editors of the National lntelligeneer:
ask the privilege of making your pa
per the medium TO convey Mrs. Douglass
and my own thanks 10 the friends of Judge
Douglas for the generous sympathy they
manifest towards her in the overwhelm-
ing calamity which has befnllen her. Ii is
true that, owing to the great depreciation
OF lands, the estate of Judge Douglas will
scarcely pay the mortgages on the proper
ty; but Mrs. Douglas is anxious that her
husbands creditors should receive to the
extent OF the estate their Jast dues.
TuerV are bnt few small debts otherwise
dae. These shall cndeavor to meet as
soon as possible. So long ns God spares
my life my daughter and the children shall
have command OF such means as my un-
wearied exertious can procure for them
Mrs. Douglas is unwilling in these embar-
rnssei times that the widow of Judge
Douglas should claim more of his friends
than the same true and tried devotion to
his memory they have ever manifested to
him in life.
mnst apologize for thus claiming atten-
ton, but have been induced to do so from
my daughters distress at observing the
numerous generous and patriotic appeals
in behalf of the family of Judge Douglas.
Yours, very truly, ]. MADISON CuTTs.

GROWING DEsPERATE.-Yesterday we saw a
private letter from late Georgia member of Con-

raved like maniac over the impending reaction
In the popular mind Of the Gulf States. No bed
lamite was ever more furious, incoherent and
venemous In his expressions Of hatred and rage
He boldly intimated that the people were to be
kept in subsection In those States by resort to
the most desPotic means, an / that 1t is the pur.
pose Of those who have Us -rped the government
ofthose States and deprived their people of Amer
lean liberties, to make war on their form er breth
rem, as the best means Of preventing tie masses
from stopping to reflect. His whole letter was In
fair keeping with the following brief extract from
the Washington correspondence of the Charleston
MCTcry:
"WAsHINGToS, Feb. 1, 1861.

then your reconstructionists will begin bowling

"CoMINs EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BE-
FORE THEM."-We have for some time past fore
seen that parties at the North, as throughout the
South, are rapidly dividing under the banners Of
Unio6 and Disunion. The recent Virginia and
Tennessee elections tell how true IL is with refer
ence to the South while the triumph Of concilia-
ton and compromise in the councils Of the Re
publican party Of the New York Legislature show
that such Is fast becoming the case at the North.
The New York Hsrald'S Albany correspondent
explains the fact as follows:
"AsI have stated on former occasions, every
ties In this State. Greeley and his friends to be
the head OF the extreme and no Cancellation re-
publicnns, whilst Thurlow Weed, carrying the
banner Of compromise, will lead the conservative
republicans Into new Union party, TO be
formed out Of the moderate democrats and Union
republicans. There are daily signs Of the ap-
proach of this event Not day passes but the
political waves are adding material to that new
combination; and you need not be surprised to see
In the next State canvass 4 radical democratic. a
radical republican, and Union or national party
In the field steering between the two. In times Of
revolution and peril like these, parties and com
binations are formed rapidly. The nucleus of
that party has already been formed; IL Is only
necessary for coming events to cement the par
ucles, and the driftwood floating upon the politi-
cal currents will then find a lodging place and
form powerful party"
See, also, the New York Tribune, for proof pos
tive that II has thrown away the scabbard in its
war on the expected Union proclivities of the in
coming Administration.
