My Dear Sir Your favor of the 10th l
have just received. | am very greatly obliged
to you for handing to me the information con-
tanned in your letter. The drawback in the
export of cotton goods of the five mills paid
upon the raw cotton consumed, in making
them, is very important matter and hence
it is very desirable to remove all ambiguity in
the tax bill in regard it.
find our people to be on the whole very
well satisfied in regard to the provisions Of
the tax bill as affecting the cotton interest.
They are not unaware that the tax upon the
cotton manufacturers is still very high. Yet
it is so much better than they feared it might
be, that they very cheerfuly have made up
their mind 10 be satisfied. They feel and er-
| press Themselves as under great obligations to
you and Mr.. Wilson for the rery efficient aid
rendered By both Of you in the senate in pro-
tecting great Nec England interest, in
'chich they are deeply interested. Again l
thank you for your letter, and for the many
other favors which have received at your
hands within the last two months.
Very truly and faithfully yours,
LINUS CHILD.
Hon CHARLES SUMNER, Washington.

You may ask me, then, why | came into
this meeting tonight, to speak to the republic
cans of Cambridge? | came here, gentlemen
because there has arisen, within the last few
months, in the loyal states of this Union, and
here in the commonwealth of Massachusetts,
political organizations that tend to divide and
distract our people, and to encourage the
heart of the rebellion. (Applause.) The
last time looked in the faces of an audience
in this hall, it was to ask the men of this city
to enroll their names and go to the land of
the rebellion, to uphold the authority of this
government; and | come here tonight to ask
you to sustain the authority of this govern
ment by your votes at the polls on Tuesday
of next week; and | believe that it is lust as
necessary to sustain the cause of our country
by our ballots, as by our bullets in the field
Gentlemen, | want you to take this question
home with you, and reflect upon il, and put it
to yOurselves-"When | vote on Tuesday
next, will my vote sustain the cause of my
country-will it cheer the heart of the chief
magistrate Of the republc-will it sustain the
men who are supporting him in this hour of
trial, or will it cheer the heart of Jefferson
Davis, and his compeers in treason, against
the country" Within the last few weeks,
gentlemen, victories over the supporters of
the administration have been achieved par
TALLY in Pennsylvania, largely in Ohio and in
Indiana.

TRAIN Your BoYs!-Let every father so
capable, teach his son the use of firearms.
The year is not far distant, perhaps, when the
people may be called out to repel the invasion
by foreign powers, and one man skilled in
handling the musket, is worth more at such
times than five noyces in the art The igno-
rance displayed by the child, who puts out an
eye by the handling of his mothers scissors,
is counterpart to that displayed by the man,
who, in his laundering use of the gun, destroys
his own or his neighbor's life. We are evident
ly to become the greatest military power on
earth, and the best assurance that we are to be
so, are the signs of patriotism and loyalty
evinced by the youth of the present day.

Gy- We have noticed that great many
patriotic gentlemen who wear kid gloves and
sport gold-headed canes, boast of their readi-
ness to go to the battlefield, but we strongly
suspect, that, like Pike of the Augusta Age
only less frank than he-they would wish to
board at hotel and ride in shay They are
ready to say .fotto,c me, but we have seldom
heard this class say, ''you 90 ahead and piu
.foHor." Artemus Wards regiment of Brga-
dier Generals would suit their taste, with its
fine plumes, spirited horses, good rations and
big pay, but they have no taste for going on
foot through mud and morass, lugging heavy
musket, living on beef and hard bread, and all
for the pay ola common soldier. Such men
would appear more patriotic, i'm the eyes of
common people, if they would enlist and take
their chance for promotion, or, if they must
stay at home, if they would pay good man to
go in their stead

eH-Men who pretend to believe their bibles
and who do not deny that negroes have human
souls, destined to immortal life, and who even
recognize the interest of such negroes in the
mission ofthe worlds Saviour, will sneer at the
idea of educating and eleyating the colored
race, and betrays bad spirit at every indica-
tion that Gods image cut in ebony is seek
ing to rise to higher plane of life than that
of an abject bondman. Do such persons be-
lieve that negro's soul can ever attain to the
Heavenly state; or if it should thus attain,
that it will there be slave?

ted with coarse violence II he could have his
way, he said he would not permit woman to
come near the hospital. 1t was in vain hat she
urged that she had not seen her boy for long
months, and that he was now very i'll, AMI per-
haps dying. The monster continued to revie
her, but dared not refuse her admittance to see
her son. She soon found the surgeon in immc.
diate attendance upon her boy. and told him of
the treatment she had received from the chief
surgeon. He replied that he was not at all sur
prsed-lhe chief surgeon treated everybody
brutallv. 'Why then do you submit TO such a
cruel outrage p was the spirited woman's qu r.
tion. i suppose we are all of US afraid To make
the cnmulaint against him > was the reply The
woman found that her SON was ncurably i'll, and
was the proper subject Of a discharge. The as
sistant surgeon so informed her. She then
sought the chiefsurgeun and asked him TO make
n report 10 the Surgeon General upon the con-
dition of her son. H. refused with a dreadful
oath. The New England grit in the wumnn's
heart took fire. you stand there sail she,
'and ieer at my sorrow. You use larguaye tow
ard me that beast would be ashamed OF. But
let Inc tell you that, poor and friendless as am,
am more powerful than YOU, and | will not
leave Washington until have exposed your
brutality P" She WAS as good as her word.
She went at once to sec Secretary Stanton. He
referred her at once o. 8v Surgeon. General.
with a request that he would look carefully into
the case, aud, if the facts would warrant her as
sertions, that he would mete out rigid justice
to the hospital surgeon. The first act OF tn,
Surgeon General was to order the Surgeou-in-
charge to make Il report upon the case of the
woman'S son. The report was returned the very
next day, and its language was insolent in the
extreme. The surgeon was angry at the wom
ans interference. This is enough said the
