CAPTAIN TuAcurR,-
Ny Lcar SIR Permit me a few moments
conversation, both for the sake Of our former
acquaintance, and for the interchange Of views
on the state Of our country
1t has been some months since your COM

blessings Of friends and Heaven accompany
ing. The soldiers were spirited, and the pco-
pie were full Of heightened patriotism, while
the future seemed pregnant with glorious
events, which might speedily remove the
lowering clouds from our political horizon.
But difficult problems, like our present ma
tonal troubles, take more or less time to adj
just them and 1t has pleased Heaven TO linz
ger a little, that il may the better accomplish
and carry forward its great work of rclurma
ton and development and make the triumph
over sin and rebellion all the more glorious.
And in the meantime, let us all be men,-
waiting patiently when wait we must, never
for a moment forgetting our responsibility Co
our fellow-men and 90 She cause Of liberty,
and ever having confidence in the God o. bat
tics, who will surely give Us the victory i'm

a New WAY TO Destroy STUNTS "A

that journal that Mr. John Barnes Of Balti-

his house in the following manner; Last
fall, with an inch anger, he bored hole in
the centre of the stump ten inches deep and
put into it about half pound Of oil Of yitriol
and corked the hole up tight. This spring
the whole stump and roots extending through
all their ramidcatons were 50 rotten that
they were easily eradicsted"

The Syracuse Standard states that mar
rage by telegraph took place on Tuesday ai-
ternoon last, between young lady in one of
the principal villages on the Oswego Rail-
road, and an artillery soldier, on duty near
Washington. The chaplain Of the bride
groom's regiment telegraphed the material
question Of the marriage ceremony to the lady,
viz:-"Do you take--to be your husband :"
directing her to answer, 81 do; :" and TO
authorize him to propose a like question TO
the gentlemen. In two hours aisr the lady
received the Chaplain's first message, she re-
ceived a second announcing that the soldier
and she were man and wife. This telegram
is her marriage certificate. 1t is understood
that the parents of the lady were opposed to
the union, and that this method was taken to
outwit them. The time for the ceremony had
been fixed by correspondence beforehand, and
the lady was in waiting when the first mes
sage was received at the telegraph office.
