II. W. BeeChef'S Letter.

With profound surprise and grief, we
have read Mr.. Beechers letter to the Cleve-
land Convention. Our friends will find it
in another column. Would to God it need
ed no other commentary in this journal
than a regretful silence! But a seuseI of
duty conslrains US TO accompany its publi-
cation with solemn protest against The
public course to which it commits its Au-
thor. This letter quenches our last hope
that Mr.. Beecher was to unite himself with
the friends instead of the enemies of his
country. We know and love hun well
No mans motives are purer no man more
atiectionately reveres his native land. But
under the spell Of an unhappy blindness
which has rested on his own eyes for a year
past, he has done more Injury to the Amer
Ican Republic than has been done by any
other citizen except Andrew Johnson We
had secretly cherished the conviction that
Mr.. Beecher, during his last few months of
silence concerning public affairs, had been
. sad and thoughtful witness of the mis-
chievous policy of the President. We could
not force our mind to believe that, in the
great civil struggles of the approaching Au-
lulnn, the minister of Plymouth Chm Oh
would be found On the side of Clement l..
Valandigham, the pirate Semnes, and the
murderers at New Orleans Of course, Mr..
Beecher loatEes these men; of course bis
letter is in lottier and ipurer strain. than
the common tone of Copperhead politics
but the Illuminating fact remains that Nh.
Beecher, deliberately alphabetically. under
his hand and seal, has entered iuto league
and covenant with the johnson party Ia
party whose only. hope Of victory is by
league of traitors against loyal men. This
is Mr.. Beecher's position! 1t is solemn
hour for the nation. '.He that is not for
us is against u.s." By MIR. Beecher's past
record by his Inherent sympathy with uni
yersal liberty, by his ancient scorn Of treach-
cry in public men, he belongs to the loyal
party from whom, like a self 1disbobored
leader, he has become a voluntary deserter.
Mr.. Beecher's public attitude atthe present
moment is the attitude of a man who is put
ting a great reputation to tho ignobe use Of
debaslng his country. If in view of this aw-
full fact, this Journal were to lend through
silence seeming acquiescence, or even an
implied paliiation, we would justly be held
an accomplish in the guilt Since the occa-
sion, therefore obliges US to speak, we have
no other alternative than to choose the
strongest possible words of condemnation.
We have only to add that, if any Of Mr..
Beecher's friends, or of ot1r own, shall feel
pain at reading this prot est, let them inn
aglne the greater pain of writing it.-N. l..

A Murderer Twenty-eight Days Under
Ground.

About three weeks ago we published letter
from Brownsville, announcing the escape of one
Rodgers, who had killed an Assistant Surgeon
of his regiment. The gallows was erected and
all preparations made, the prisoner received
religious consolation, and expressed his readi-
ness to die; but during the night preceding the
day set for execution, managed to effect mys-
terious disappearance. 1t was positively asserted
tnat he had Joined the contra-guerilas in
Natamoros, and was iourishing in grand style
about the streets of that town; but the sequel,
as given in the subioined letter of our cores
pondent, proves that this statement was mis-
take:-

may seem IT Is nevertheless true, that William Rod

TO be hung, escaped, seen and recognized drunk
with men OF his own company In Matamoras, etc.,
etc. was captured last night almost within the prison

limits last evening the town was in perfect fer

lived for overweight days IN subterranean abode,

A Jewish Divorce,

The New Haven Journal and Courier has the
followlng:-
Yesterday divorce, according to the prac
tice in the Hebrew Church, took place at the
residence of the Rev. j. Gabriel At the pre-
sent term OF the Superior Court divorce was
obtained by LOUIS ROthschild from Esther
ROthschild. One of the parties desired that
divorce should also be granted alter the manner
of the Hebrew custom. Yesterday it was ac
complished. As it is somewhat interesting to
know what the ceremony consisted OF, we give
it. 1t was az follows:-The wife, dressed in
black. with black veil over her face appeared
with her husband before council OF ten men,
members of the Synagogue. There were also
present three rabbis, one of whom acted as the
petitioner, and wrote out on parchment petition
in Hebrew asking for divorce and also wrote
out the decree OF divorce; the second acted
a the respondent or defendant, and the third as
a kind OF Judge; the council of ten acting as
iury The mar and wife having appeared, they
s ood side by side before the council. The rab-
bis and council then took an oath, all shaking
hands-the oath reing 10 the effect that they
would always consider the divorce legal and
binding. The wife then removed her veil, and
the rabbi who acted as petitioner read the petl.
ii IA in German, and stated the case TO the coun-
Gil, who, having heard it, decreed the divorce.
The decree, folded up, was handed 10 the hus'
Dand, and the wife raising her open hands, the
husband dropped the paper into them. The
rabbi who acted as Judge then took 1t and cut
the ends like fringe. He then handed it 10 the
Or ;sident or the synagogue, telling him to place
II among the records OF the society, to be pre-
served as evidence of the divorce. This having
been done, the ceremony was finished, and the
parties departed, no longer man and Wile,"

Professor Agassiz and the Emperor OF
Brazil.


A correspondent OF the Boston Advertiser
writes:--
VERY agreeable letters, dated May and 4,
were received in this city to-day Saturday
from Professor Agassiz. They were written at
Rio de Janero, where he had arrived few days
earlier from his eminently successful expedition
up the Amazon, and while he was making his
arrangements to return home.
'The kindness of the Emperor of Brazil, who
is a man OF no common culture, had followed
him wherever he had gone and had facilitated
In the most generous and effective manner all
the scientific purposes and plans which Mr..
Thayer's muniicence had enabled Professor
Agassiz to arrange and undertake a year ago.
The Emperor even had borne in mind the
favored naturalist when they we're separated by
a thousand miles of Brazilian territory, and at
period of anxiety, too when his Majesty was
at the head of his army on the Rio Grande de
Sui, carrying on the war against Paraguay.
For, while he was in the distant province OF that
name, he made large and beautiful collection
fessor Agassiz, at Rio, he the next day presented
to him, with a graceful autograph note, from
which the following extract IS translated:-
"'The fishes are to be sent to you To you they
entirely belong, for 1t with this thought that
collected them. II IS a slight homage that pay to
science; but SEE that 1t was OF value to your
eyes. and shall be happy IL thus place myself
partly IN relation with the labors by which you will
make better known the rich nature Of my country,
dom PEDRO H."
"An imperial collection thus made will, we
suppose, hardly be found to grace anv other
museum in the world certainly no similar col
lection made with equal intelligence and ear
hestness. The Emperor, 1t is plain, put his
heart into it,"
