A CARD FROM GEN. HiNDNAx The New
ierk Herald, pretendcdly quoting Richmond
papers, states that have abandoned my coun-
try, fed 10 Mexico, and entered tho service Of
the Emperor MAxiMiLIAN. From that or some
other source, the report has obtained esnsidera-
bic circulation and some crejencs in the Soul g.
Southern-born, always a sccessionist, q SOL
dier since the war began, constantly ia the field
ex cept when disabled by sickness or wounds
and never yet reduced 10 the thought Of subju-
cation. it humliltes me that such rumor must
even be denied. Yet it is urged, in numerous
letters from friends on both sides of the Missis-
sippi river. that its inju rous effect can only be
cur.d in that wy. The statement is therefore
pronounced wholly untrue.
Ii our independence MAS secured, or if An Of
fensive and dsfensre alliance existed between
the Confederacy and Mexico and the latter was
invaded by Yankee forces, it would crafty IN /,
under the sanction of proper authority, to Lead
our veteran troops against the common enemy
on Mexican soil. Bui, in the absence of either
of these contingencies. my services will be Civ
en- and my lite offered. ss heartily rs in 1861, /,
in defence of our own flag and t-rri,ory.

ERse Country Press.

Notwithstanding the high price of mater
ials and the moderate price charged for
newspapers, it is surprising that so few sue
cumb, and that so many are so well sustain
ed. The only way we can account for this
is, that our country people have an honora-
bic pride in keeping UP their local journals.
This they do mainly by a liberal advertising
patronage, and partly by subscriptions -
Nor would it be desirable to permit the
metropolitan newspapers to displace the To-
cal journals. Every well-conducted local
paper serves to call the worlds attention to
the interests and productions of the section
which it represents, be those interests agri-
cultural, mechanical Or commercial. Thus
the coal and oil regions need their journals;
so of the gold, iron, copper and lead inter
ests. So of other productions; and it is
through the hcu1 press that the world comes
to know Of these things. Therefore we
rejoice to open every well-fled and we'll
patroDized country newspaper. 1t is an
evidence Of the enterprise and intelligence
Of the people. .-Phrenologicdl Journal.

II hate that wicked boy; 1 do, so''
'..Gendy, my daughter, - said her father,

Let us scni for Tim, and talk to him. -
Perhaps re may pity him, but not hate

Alice was.rather frightened at the thought

Tim looked surprised at such u question.
He stopped swinging his hat and said
