ooA '"uSoteuHeSs Co tuo Seutie"ouiy So'AS' bonding Secretary of the L. T. c. of the L. c. $. of the C. s. B. of the U. s. of N. A. D. Of the c. S. 1. S. S* for additional favors. We are enabled, through his politeness, to give our | readers the curious letter from the Chief of tue Gougei tribe, which We referred to in our last issue. Our columns are so crowded this week that we are forced to omit the original, and simply give the elegant translation which Prof. Schweitzenbleitzen has kindly forwarded to us. in advance of the steamer, by the new teie- graph, via Siberia and Beh rings Straits. We would call particular attention to the terseness and even elegance of the noble writer, notwith- standing the peculiar sententiousness of his style. Yet we are accustomed to denominate tdis man and his people barbarians.
 The caption of the letter. which we publish ed last week, was furnished us unoffcial,y by a private member of the Society, and was not quite correct, as our readers will perceive by comparison with the following :-
