6Ug Express Il needs no comment:
As n woman true to the South, whose heart
beats in unison with those OF our patriotic
sons now struggling for our affairs and our
Grssdes. and rs one whose sympathies and
prayers are enlisted in behalf of free people,
| now threatened with su d iugation at the hand !
Of corrupt fnnciionaries and mereenary out
| laws, am prompted TO write the following
| iines, however embarrassing and unpleasant
| 1t may be 10 thus bring my name before the
public. am desirous that my iadigna tion
| and contemp pt should be known for the course
| Of Charles X. Foster, formerly of Orono.
| Maine, late OF this piaca, and low OF Wash
| ing ION Oity.
All persons know, who have been acquaint-
| ed with Mr. Foster for tia last six MONT tbs,
| that he left this place in The NOR III of Febru-
| ary last, tor his desk in the Post Office De-
partment at Westinghouse position o5tainsd
| under Mr. Buchanan's administration, and re-
mained there until the 81 OF May last, when
| he returned 20 this place. His presence In
| this town caused great settlement INN edi
ateiy upon the tact ii his arrival being kno wn,
as his conduct in great measure, am fran I
| 10 confess. reasonably justified he was ac-
! cused OF heing untrue to the South-a Black
| Repnoiicao-and some weat So fer as TO be-
| sIeVe hira to be spy. sent out dirsctiy from
| under the roof OF the White House TO Gil of
! these accusations he plead not guilty, and
| went so lar as to say 10 me tha. he intended to
! return to Washington and pT0re hissSsJ a
/ S0HtherG man
| Mr.. Foster finally did rstara, and to nv
| gren surprise l have found that the m an
| upon whom / had centered my whole aFtc
| tions. and who had Won the confidence Of my
! heart, has proved himself rscrsant to his
pledges, false tn his vows, and indifferent as
| TO the lie or death of his own wife and
| child.
| From the Sunday Morning Chronicle,
| published ia Washington, I learn that on
| the occasion OF d seresads given TO Mr. Fos
| ter soon after his arrival, hs said III addition
| TO other odious things, that ne intebdad to
| neSd brigade as soon as arrangements is
| coaid ss made, and come to ~. Carolina 70 re.
| lieve the oppressed friends OF the Union living
| am ong us--the import of which Language
| is, that h~ Would s.e my own people exter-
| nina ted, cur own homes utrsged, desecr&.
| ted and destroyed. without reference to any
| thing else that this man has said OF done
| which has proven him Il tTai'or to his adopt
| ed home. l conclude this card by saying that
| as painful as 8 separation would be under
| other circun stances, il IS vii a 6rmness and
| determination that 4 now declsTe every tie
| ssoersd which has heretofore bound me to
Charles Il Foster, and from this day / con
| slider the ,e'ation formerly existing between
as as husband and wife virtually dissolved
forever.
| shall no longer hear his name, and will
| take advantage of the earliest opportunity
| offered by our laws of having i. legally
| changed 10 what l now sign it.
