tederate Army, aged "a.
SHIP ADRIAN, OFF CUBA, Jan. 81, 1866
To the editor Of the Metropolitan Record:
DEAR SIR: Enclosed you will find notice
Of the drowning Of Colonel G. 3. Brent while
on a voyage from New Orleans to Brazil. He
jumped overheard to rescue sailor who had
fallen from aloft; and although every effort
was made to recover chem, yet, owing to the
freshness Of the wind, it was impossible to do
so. | first met Colonel Brent on thc battle
field st Manassas the day after the fight, when
the company OF which he was a member had
been detailed to collect the debris. [ was
struck with the clearness and force Of his de-
scription Of the battle, as also his modosty, for
when | asked him what he had done, he re-
piled, L tried to DO my duty" From that
moment J. took al interest III him, and watched
with faithful pride his rapid promotion from
private to the command OF regiment, and his
recommendation before the Confederate Con,
gless ior the position OF Brigadier General,
which his captain at Mount Sterling, Ky,
while under Morgan, prevented him from re.
celving. In ooeyiDg one Of the many noble
impulses Of bis heart, he lost his life, leaving
grief and sorrow IN the hearts ot al! who knew
him yet Can they console themselves with the
thoughJ that on that dread day, when we Sha!!
all stand before the Judgment seat ct God, he
will be oMe Of those to whom will be said,
w ell done, thou gooi and faithful servant,
Yours respectfully,

The extracts below are from circular Of
Fletcher & Co., New York, received by one of
our Oldest and most respected citizens, who
furnishes them to put the community upon it's
guard against nefarious attempts to debauch
public morals This circular was fortunately
sent to one who has uniformly, during a long
life, set his face as flint against gambling in all
It's shapes-even at the stock board, " usually
deemed respectable and legitimate. The ital-
les are as in the circular:
I'VE accidentally met with your address, and
the idea occurred to us at once that you are just
the person to aid u.s. That you may not suppose
that there is any deception In it, we inform
you that the prize money does not come out OF
our pockets, but out of the Lottery Managers.
We make this offer to you in strict confidence.
The proposal is plain We are to send GER
titicate for chance to draw a prize Of few
hundred dollars-you Gre to sh010 the money
W shall be gamers by our sales, and the par
ties who send for Tickets may be gamers by
drawing prizes. livery one that sends will, Of
course. expect to draw prize, not knowing the
offer we make privately to you. Mark this
fact, to send you 81, 500 out Of the Managers
pockets will cost us nothing; we mention this
merely to show you that it IS to oar interest to
send you q prize.
The recipient Of this letter is not verdant
enough to suppose he alone was selected for the
bounty Of Messrs Fletcher & Co. Doubtless
our post Office, with hundreds ofothers-espec-
iazly IN the South, where cash is scarce-teems
with similar liberal and disinterested propo-
sails. Let all who may be so favored be on
their guard. The extracts are brief but TO
the point-our limited space forbids more e,;-

J br those who read the reports of the acts

!; the Gazette, that at the meeting Of the

5nt returned his thanks. This was substan.
;s1lv the report of the Committee. Mr. Bolts
N his recent letter gives the following account
and explanation OF this matter:
;:Iet me state the facts of the case [ arri-
,.1 On that afternoon without the slightest
knowledge that such meeting was in contem-
Nation; during the evening the committee ap
Ipinted for that purpose, called and extended
he invitation to attend the meeting aad address
hem, to which | replied-'Why, gentlemen,
tvould be impossible for me to address the
meeting WltuUuU ulahluS uysSil oil uudCCCptlou-
sble guest, as [ do not concur with you in your
views. am inhexlbIy opposed to your whole
seheme-I cannot admit that there is any pow
wi Congress to reduce a State TO the condi.
ton Of territory-the Constitution provides
for making State out Of a territory, but it
nowhere provides for reducing State to ter
rtory. They then asked me if~they should
give that as my reply to the meeting. | said,
oh, no that might be regarded as discour-
teous to the meeting-make some excuse for
me-sayI have the neuralgia and am afraid to
venture out, and might have added, return
them my thanks for the compliment. If did
mI should have done it, common civility re-
uired it, and I am obliged to the Committee
for supplying the omission it [ did not; but
it never entered into my mind that this most
innocent occurrence would involve me- in SO
much trouble with my friends elsewhere but
that to decline an invitation to address meet
ing, with thanks for the comp HmeDt extended,
would Justify the inference that was necessa-
rly in sympathy with the views and political
purposes Of the meeting is just one inch and-a,
half beyond the extent Of my comprehension !"
