because both of US have been brought up
with you; one of as was born in Jississip-
pi, the other came to her in infancy. These
are my own people, and it is privilege Of
which no change of time, fortune or
circumstances can deprive me. To the ac-
cepted prayers Of our widows and orphans,
our suffering but heroic women our brave
and true men, our innocent little children,
look for the restoration TO my little chill
dren Of their agonized but Christian father,
If merciful Providence so ordain it, we
hope tolliFe and die among you, mutually
cousoling and bearing each others burdens.
L pray God we may not be driven forth from
the home of our childhood, "for how can
we sing our own song in strange land?''
We would not have our dear friends betray-
ed by their symPaty into offering, for our
use, too much from their own ''basket and
store.'' I and mine havS, so far, been mi
raculously cared for, and shielded from
want. We seem ever environed by the love
which is reflected upon US from that which
lighted my husband in his dungeon--soft-
ened his prison walls with sunny pictures
OF loving eyes and outstreatched arms. 20

1.-THE anti-Iiquorc law ygentlemenzin in New
England, = says the Sunday Times, care in
trouble. The Maire-law, which prohibits
the sale of ardent spirits, they worship as
almost the ''one thing needful'' in Society,
because it produces revenue. PC The United
States now exaets,r however, "a tax for liz
quor-selling, and hence the United States
Supreme Court steps in, at present, and
transfers to its own docket all the prosecu-
tions brought before the State courts against
the liquor-dealers. AS all New England
is great stickler for the point that State
authorities and State legislation are power
less when opposed to federal assumations
! of jurisdiction, the Maine-law fanatics are
in a provoE; quandafy. They are com
pletely in the meshes of their own net, and
tits gratifying to asse how they writhe un-
der the application of their own principles.
| Of course the national authdrity is para
mount in many, but not all things. The
sovereignty of the State is complete in some
things. Real state-rights have not ceased
ito exist because certain in1ae inary ones
have been swept away III the waFlcurrent.
Those who maintain, in order to give Con-
gress the power to dictate universal suf-
! frage-laws TO suit themselves, that all State
sovereignty is extinct, win be very apt to
squirm when they discover exactly where
such a doctrine will lead them to.g s'Aa ex.

have claimed the largest number of victims,
but the disintery and other diseases have
prevailed with unexamPledg yirulence, and
helped to swell the fearful catalogue. of the
