It there be ID it any statements or assumptions of fa;i which may know to be erroneous, I do not now and here controvert them. If there be in it any differences which l rtay believe to be falsely drawn, l do not now and here arguG against them. If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatoral tone, waive it in def erehce to an old friend, whose heart have all ways supposed to be right.

 would save the Upion. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The soon- CT the national authority cln be re stored the nearer the Union will be i" the Union as 1t was." If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time saoe Slavery, dc not agree with them If there be those who would not save the Un. ion unless they could at the same time destroy Slavery, do not agree with them. My para
 mount object in this struggle is to save the Up- ion. and is not either to save or destroy Slavery ! If could savk the Union without freeing anu slaves, 1 would do it, and if l could save it by freeing aN the slaves, would do it, and if | could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, would also do that. What 1 do about Slavery and the colored race, 1 do because l believe 1t helps to save the Union, and what l forbear, l forbear because do not believe il would help to save the Union. shall do hss whenever 1 shall believe what am doing hurts. the cause, and shall do more whenever shall believe doing more will help the cause. shall try to correct errors when .showr to be errors l. and shall adopt new views az iast hs they shaii appear to be true views I have here stated h. purpose according to my view of o6fciR duty and intend no modification of my oft texprcss. ed wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.

NEW YORK IN 176l.-New York at this time contained about 1300O inhabitants. There were 2,500 buildings in the city many of them of brick covered with tiles, and most of them presenting an aspect of comfort and thrift. Fine country residences surrounded by gardens and pastures, embellished the suburbs and some town residences were comparatively palatial
 The city was almost mile in length and about half milein its greatest breadth Some of it's streets were paved with huge pebbles, as
 in rural cities and towns at present. It's mar. kets were we'll supplied with fish, flesh, and veg. etables of every kind-the latter being chiefly raised by Dutch farmers on Harlem Plains, peal the end7 of the island. Lljfe and Times Of PAl p Schuyler. .-.s.t..

THOUGHT ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.-If we would have our bodies healthy, our brains must be used, and used in orderly and vigorous ways, that the life-giving streams of force may flow down from them into the expectant organs, which can minister but as they are ministered unto. We admire the vigorous animal life of the Greeks, and with justice we recognize, and partly seek to initiate, the various gymnastic and other means which they employed to secure it. But probably we should make fatal error if we omitted from our calculation the hearty and generous earneBtness with which the highest subjects of art, speculation and politics were pursued by thel.. Surely, in their case. the beautiful and energetic mental life was express ed in the athletic and graceful frame. And were it mere eXtravagance to ask whether some part of the lassitude and weariness of life, of which we hear so much in our day, might be due to lack of mental occupation on worthy subj | exciting and repaying generous enthusiasm as well as to an overexercise of the lower ones? whether an engrossment on matters which have not substance enough to justify or satisfy tle material grasp, be not at the root of some part of the maladies which affect our mental conva lescence? Any one who tries it soon finds ou
 how wearying how dsproportionately exhaus. ing, is an overdose of light literature" com pared with an equal amount of time spent or
 real work Of this we may be sure, that tn, due exercise of brain-of thought--is one o | the essential elements of human life The per
 feet health of a man is not the same as that 0
 an OK or a horse. The preponderating capacit, of his nervous parts demands correspendn ] life.-- CornhiN Magasine.

For the Litch6eld Enquirer. On the Death pf the gallant and la- mented Lieut.. H. M. DuttOn,
 OF THE CONN. FIFTH,


 Morn's golden beams were glancing bright l Upon the hill vith cedars crowned; .. Our country's banner streamed in light,
 Loud rose the bugle's thrilling sound; A small, but brave, determined band, United firmly, heart and hand, Stood like tower, resolved to try e-.f The deadly strife; to win or die. st. Upon their countless rebel foes, 1 Their eyes glanced sternly, as the gleam Of swords and bayonets uprose, And flashed along the murmuring stream; On. on in wrath the foemen came, .s s....... l And soileys poured of sheeted flame, And direful storms of leaden hail. On men, whose courage ne'er could fail. That band, with dauntless valor stood,
 Defiance bearing to the storm, Like oaks that crown their native wood, Each heart with martial ardor warm The bpgle rang the charge aloud, And onward, like thunder cloud, The ranks of Freedom rushed amain, Der hosts of fallen rebels slain. And, see amid that valorous band, The gallant DUTToN waves his sword, And cheers each heart, and nerves each hand,
 Against that darkened traitor horde; But, To! sndden, treacherous flash Hark! heard ye not that rifles crash His manly breast is pierced: and pale, In death he falls, fair Freedom shrieks her vail, Thus DUTroN fell as LYON died,
 And WARD his noble life laid down; Our country's patriotic pride;
 To win a martyrs deathless crown. .s Brave, generous, noble, bright and good, We knew him in his civic mood. And none who knew, but loved him well, And none our bleeding grief can tell Rest, brave young warrior; thou hast won
 A glorious name that ne'er shall die; 'Twere better thus thy life were done,
 Than OCT thy country's shame to sigh. Forever halloWed be the sod, Beneath the light of Freedoms God, That closes OCT thy slumbering clay, Which yet shall rise to endless day. . There shall the whispering cedars wave,
 The stream it's dirge- like music pour, And sweetest flowers shall deck thy grave,
 And evening weep her dewy shower Not unavenged thy death shall be, mighty host young, brave and free, Are gathering to the tented field, And soon their victor arms will wield INV
