MI. DouRlns, Last Letter.

The following concluding portion
of the last letter Of Senator Douglas,
written by an amenuensis after he
had lost the use of his hands, is
especially appropriate Tor the con.
sideration oi those friends Of his who
propose to get up q partizan contest
at this time, and thus divide loyal
nen in the support Of the govern
ment when union and concert are
more important that at any previous
period Of its history. Mr.. Douglas
said:
know Of no other mode 10y which loyal
citizen may so we'll demonstrate this de-
votion 10 his country az by sustaining the
Fling, the Constitution, and the Union, un-
der all circumstances, and under every ad
lninstrolion, regardless of party politics,)
against all assailants at home aud abroad
The course Of Clay and Webster towards the
| administration OF Gen. Jackson, in the days
OF nulllfcation, presents a noble and worthy
example for all true patrols. At The mo-
ment when that fearful crisis was precipi
tnted upon the country, partizan strife be
tween Wings and Democrats was quite MS
bitter and relentless as now between Demo.
Gratis and Republicans. The gulf which
separated party leaders in those days was
| quite ns broad as that which now separates
the Democracy and Republicans. But the
moment an enemy rose in our midst plotting
the dismembetment Of the Union and the
destruction of the government, the voice oi
pattizan strife was hushed into patriotic
silence. One Of the brightest chapters ir
the history Of our country will record the
fact that, during this eventful period, the
great leaders Of the opposition, sinking tn,
pattizan into the patriot, rushed TO the sup
port OF the government, and became ii,
ablest and braveSt defenders against all as
sailants, until the conspiracy was crushed
and abandoned, when they resumed thei
former positions as party leaders upon polit
! ical ISSUES.
These acts Of patriotic devotion have nev
er been deemed evidences OF ini1elity oI
political tfeachery on the part OF Clay ant
Webster, 10 the principles and organization
Of the old Whig party. Nor have | any ap
prehehSion that the firm and unanlmou:
support which the Democratic leaders ant
masses are now giving the Constitution ant
Union, will ever be deemed evidences o
infdelty TO Democratic principles, or wan
Of loyalty TO the Organization and creed q
the u mocratic party. II we hope to regain
and perpetuate the ascendency OF our party
we should never forget that man CAMEO
be a true Democrat unless he is n loyal pat
riot.
With the sincere hope that these, my con
! scientious convictions, NAV coincide will
those Of my friends, am very truly yours,
! STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.

our last weeks paper, in which VIC
cautioned those disposed to volun'

This we did, prompted by a sense ol

adhere to the same opinion, that 1t is
running very great risk for Soldiers
to place themselves under the leader.

the position they have had no means

Sr. LOUIS, July 30.-It is stated
on reliable authority, that General
Watkins. who commanded the rebel
forces in South East Missouri, some
time since. resigned last Saturday.
and strongly urged all his troops to
1isbaud and have nothing more to
do with this rebellion. Watkins is
man of large property, and the
reason assigned for so sudden a
change in his conduct is the contcm-
plated passage OF the confscaticn
bill by Congress.
The payment of Missouri three

having been received Tor that pur-

Of q good attendance at the Normal

this place, is very fiattering indeed.
The Principal has had calls from
quite a number Of tho young men
and young women of the county,
who design to attend school this
Fall, and they seem pleased with the
idea OF attending a school, exclusive.
ly devoted to the department Of in.
struciion, in which they are espe.
cially interested. Those who wish
to attend the institution, should
come in and make arrangements in
regard to rooms, boarding, &c, in
proper season. 1t should be die,inct'
ly borne in mind, that the Normal
School will have no connection what
ever with the Public Schools OF this
place. Arrangements are being
made to secure comfortable and con
venient rooms, in n part Of the town
both central and accc ssible.

PnRENoLoGY.- - Professor j. Simms,
of ew York, has heen delivering
course OF lectures on phrenology, in
this place, rather entertaining in
their character. At the close of the
lectures, he examined a number Of
subjects, whose characters he read
with remarkable accuracy. For an
hours amusement and entertain
ment, his lectures are well worth Mt
tending. Mr.. Simms designs re-
naming in this place during most Of
next week, and wishes us TO say tina,
he can be found for consultation
during that time, at the Reed House
