Original Letter OF Andrs,x jackson.

In late speech in the U. S. Senate, Mr..
Sumner read an original manuscript letter.
written by Gen. Jackson in 1888, in which
he anticipates the present attempt at disu-
nion. The letter, we believe, was never
before published. 1t is as follows
Pnioate,l WASHINGTON, May l, 1888.
My DEAR SIR: have
had laboriOus task here, but notification
is dead and its actors and courtiers will
ouly be remembered by the people TO be ex-
ecrated for their wicked designs to sever
and destroy the only good Government on
the globe, and the prosperity and happiness
we enjoy over every other portion of the
world. Haman's gallows ought to be the
fate OF all such ambitious men who would
involve their country in civil war, aud all
the evil in its train, that they might reign
and ride on its whirlwinds and direct the
storm. The free people Of these United
States have spoken, and consigned these
wicked demagogues to their proper doom.
Take care Of your nulihers let them meet
with the indignant frowns of every man
who loves his country. The tariff 1t Is no,v.

pretext-its burden was on your coarse
woolens. BY the law Of July, 1882, coarse
woolen was reduced to five per cent for the
benefit Of the South. Clay's bill takes it up
and classes it with woolens at fifty per cent
reduces 1t down to twenty per cent, and
there It is to remain, and Mr.. Calhoun and
all the nullilers agree to the principle.
The cash duties and home valuation will be
equal TO fifteen per cent. more, and after the
year lS42, you pay on coarse woolens thir-
ty-fve per cent. If this is not protection, /
cannot understand therefore the tariff was
only the pretext, and disunion and South
ern confederacy the real object. The next
pretext will be the negro or slavery ques-
tion.
Ny health is not good, but is improving
a little. Present me kindly to your lady
and family, and believe me to be your
friend. will always be happy to hear
from you.
ANDREW JACKSON.

DIR. ScoTT ON Tue CRIsIs.-The Rev. DR..
Scott delivered at San Francisco, on Sun
day evening, lecture on the ''Crisis," in
which he remarked that the present peril
GUS state of affairs at the South would not
have occurred but for the divisions in the
church. He was for the Union, the Consti-
tuition and equal rights for all the States,
and thought it the height Of folly for 49,
600, 900 of freemen to 60 to war about
100000 Africans, who we're being civil
lied. educated and chrstianiEed among us,
even if not in way to suit all parties. In
his opinion 1t was not now question of
UniOn or disuniOn, but of peace or war.

POSTAL MATTERS on THE PACIFIC--Over.
land Mails for Interstate communicate
are taking the place Of ocean routes. Thus
the great bulk of the letter mail between
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts is now sent
overland. Then the mails between Oregon
and California are also carried mainly
Overland, and the ocean mail between San
Francisco, San Diego aud intermediate
ports. will be discontinued on and after
April lst of the present year. The Butter
field Stage Company may so change it's
route as to follow the coast road between
San Francisco and Los Angeles, instead Of
passing the Tulare valley, as it now does.

AN ENGLISH LEGAcY.-L. Tryon, Of Sac
ramento, says the News, for the last three
years an employee Of James Pearson, as
cooper, received yesterday intelligence from
Connecticut that he had come in possession
of about $1,000. Mr.. T. has very slight
knowledge Of how be is beir to rich estate
but remembers of hearing his parents speak
Of large English property which rightfully
belonged to the Tryon family-descendants
of the old Colonial Governor of South Car
olina. Mr.. T. isa very Industrious mechanic
and has amassed quite sum Ia his regular
trade. This sum makes Mr.. 7. rich mao

THE CRISIS.

The Macon (Ga.) Messenger, religious
paper, has the following reflections on the
present crisis
If ever there was crisis In the history
Of the country when existing and impend-
ing evils called for wiser precautions aud
more conciliatory counsels than the present
we cannot recallit. Heretofore, when tho
public mind has been greatly excited, the
question at issue had its chief relation to
some material interest and to the political
measures by which II would be hindered or
promoted. But there is now an aggressive
principle at work which overrides all mere
material interests, and entering into the do
main OF what is called moral sense--a rule
OF action uncertain and caprcious-and
which makes sad havoc with the scripture.
with experience, with covenants, and with
civil and social relations and hence IL is
the most difficult Of all TO arrest, control or
subdue. The history of fauaticism in all
ages of the world, 10 all its varied forms.
furnishes innumerable illustrations of this
remark. Itruns its course like fever till
IL ourns out, leaving its victim either to
perish or recover by slow process under
q better regimen and healthier atmosphere.
Heretofore, when q great crisis has arisen.
there have arisen at the same time the men
who were endowed with qualities indispen-
sible TO the exigency of the occasion; men
OF broad aud comprehensive views, who,
leaving the beaten road of politics, could
adapt their positions to the emergency Of
the moment and turn to profitable account
change of circumstances and vicissitudes of
opinion, making them their auxlIaries in
reaching the most remote consequences of a
transaction, aud who, by combining the
present, the past and the future, and by
conceding with dignity and defending with
hrmness, have succeeded In staying the ele-
ments Of discord and in harmonizing con-
hcting views But fanatcism is utterly
reckless of consequences. Il never makes
any concessions, and the more you expose
its madness and folly, with the greater te-
nacity 1t maintains its position and pur-
sues its unrelenting course.

The Bulletin correspondent ofthe 9th Of October
in criticising the different Photographic Pictures at
the last state Fair says:
''On the opposite wall hang the contributions Of
J. Shew of san Francisco. These also are most cred
table specimens Of the Photographic art. Among
them is a hfe-sze head and bust Of Senator Broder
ick-probably the most perfect which has been made
Of the late Senator Side by side with these, hang
series Of most wTetched bels the art contributed
by some one in Nevada. They serve however TO
set off to better advantage, the productions Of more
skillful competitors.
AS that paper don't give the name Of the artist who
send such pictures, il must be known, that A.
LIEBERT, the Photographic Artist Of Broad street,
published in the papers Of Nevada, that he was the
only in this city who sent pictures to the State
Fair.

MURDER IN AMADOR VALLEY.-The Ala.
media Gazette says James Bagley is charged
with committing a foul murder in Amador
Valley. A warrant issued for him was kept
IN the pocket of the constable, who allowed
the accused to remain unmolested, although
be knew that Bagley was at home attending
to his business as if nothing had happened.
subsequently the Under Sheriff of Alameda
went after him. The Gazette says that al
though this is the third murder which has
been committed in the valley in two years,
1t is the first one which resulted in legal
complaint and efforts to arrest.

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

The Mobile Register makes the following
very Opportune suggestions 20 its secession
friends:
There are many hot and intemperate spir-
its that are burning to signalize our exit
from the Union by every "lck back" which
can be devised. and this Is temper which
is quite as dangerous to us as it is TO the
North. We shall have enough to do for
months and years after separation 10 organ
izing new government and endeavoring
10 keep out of war with the North, without
trying TO get into one. We want the stag
mated currents Of business to resume their
healthful flow as soon as possible; to COM
mence the onward march of q new and un-
precedented prosperity at the earliest mo-
ment. And this will not be If we are en-
broiled in warfare with the North. We will
want all the money we can conveniently
raise in establishing new government,
which is an expensive job, in fostering trade
relations, in arming aud equipping the
country as we we have already begun to
do, in readiness for any warfare which may
be forced upon us. But let us not seek war.
We are not afraid of tae North. She can
not whip ue. But any war Is to be deplOred.
for generally one side suffers as much as the
other, the one that suffers little the most
being defeated by the one that suffers lit
tie less, bat still suffers much. So it would
especially be in war between the South
and the North.
Not only do we want no actual war with
the North, but we should begin our career
as an independent power with international
relations of as decidedly friendly character
as possibly can be negotiated with honor.
Such are essential to our prosperity. There
fore every movement on the part of States
or citizens Of States which savors Of hos
tile, or. as it is called, "revOlu tiOnary"
spirit, is to be deprecated and in every way
opposed by wise and patriotic men.

PRINTING OFFICE FOR SILVER CTY.-This
week, says the Alta, printing press and
the material for q newspaper, are to be
shipped to Silver City, in Utah Territory.
Silver City, despite its argentiferous name,
is the headquarters of gold bearing quartz
in that region. About a dozen steam quartz
mills are hard at work there day and night,
aud the place is the center Of a perfect nest
of the richest quartz mines in the territory.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-02-23

QUARTZ FROM JAPAN.-The San Francisco
Alta says: At Hazletine's Japanese Ar
cade, fiue specimen of chrystalized quartz
from Japan can be seen. The quartz is as
clear as glass, aud through it runs streaks
Of metal somewhat like indications ofsilver.
We learn that this rock is TO be assayed.

Sumter called forth; and it is said, too, that
he desired TO "discharge his duty to humani-
ty;" and yet he has chosen to discharge"
that "duty" in the singular way of resolving
on policy which, in his o'en acords, he knew
would "raise throughout the mighty North
feeling of indignation, which in ninety days
would have emancipated every slave on the
continent, and driven their masters into the
sea-"
The sacrifice was made; Anderson and his
command were forced to become liable as
victims to fanaticism; Fort Sumter was wrapt
in flames; and yet, forsooth, they tell us that
the only man who could have. prevented it
"resolved to dischargehis dutyto humanity
and that his purpose was "peace'-his aver
sion "war" His "purposc" was changed,
and he resolved to bring on this unhallowed
war. 1t is Government actuated with these
feelings that we are to defend ourselves
against; II is Ills kind of war, then that the;
people Of the South are to meet; and under
these circumstances it becomes my duty to
publish the article in question for the infor.

States, and for the, cool and unbiased con-

and under such circumstances-surely can
never meet with the favor Of Heaven. A
people educated and trained up to constitu-

time, sustain such war. =
