One WM. CoRNELLJEwE1T, Of Colorado
Territory, has rendered this country an es-
sential service by eliciting from John
Bright, the following letter:
NORTH WALES, Oct. II, 1862.
Sir: | will be in town the end of the
month. From your published views but
little good can result from an interview. Ii
you are for the Union and think it can be
preserved by concliatug the South, | con-
less am amazed. They have made war
upon you, because they suspected that you
would yield nothing more to them. Are
YOU to Yield more under compulsioD of the
war, or because you can neither conquer the
South nor yet subsist as an Independent
State without her? IL you love Slavery,
and wish to continue it, and If you think
you can build up with honor a restored and
united Republic by humbling yourself to
The South, can only express my surprise
at the dream which possesses you. You
may separate, or you may fight out this
contest and win, but to leave the slave still a
slave will expose you to the contempt of the
civilized world lapplaud the proclamation
of thePresident, as does every man in Europe
who is not foe to freedom, or moved by
base hostility to the American Republic be-
cause Il il a Republic, and because it is
powerful. When in town | will see you.
am respectfully yours,
JOHN BRIGHT.

CHARACTER The differences oicharacter
are never more distinctly seen than in times
when men are surrounded by difficulties and
misfortunes. There are some who, when
disappointed by the failure of an undertake
ing from which they had expected great
things, make up their minds at once TO exert
themselves no longer against what they call
fate, as ifthereby they could avenge them
selves upon fate; others grow desponding
and hopeless: but the third class of men
will arouse themselves Just at such moments
and say to themselves, '"The more difficult
it is to attain my ends the more honorable
it will be-" and this is the maxim which
every one should impress upon himself as
law. Some Of those who are guided by it
prosecute their plans with obstnacy, nnc
so perish others, who are more practica
men, il they have failed in one way, will tr.
another.

IF any of the Democrats complain of the
removal of the Democratic Mcclellan, they
will please bear in mind that Burnside was
a Democrat when the war began, and that
he was one of the most intimate personal
friends of his predecessor. Whether Burn
side will succeed in the great work before
him, as he has succeeded in every duty with
which he has been charged since he took
the field, remains to be seen. lie commences
under grave difficulties Lee has got to his
stronghold. The storms of winter are at
hand. But few days now remain for ac
tive operations. lie must be tried by the
same hard test as other commanders-suc
cess. But his past career, his noble char
acter, his energy, his patriotism, his mlitar,
education, his talents, inspire us with thu
confident belief that whatever is possible h'
will achieve.
