WoNDERFUL.-At Mobile recently a
headless body was found in a negro Hotel.
The Coroner found the letter below:
81 have put an end to my own life-I
was tired Of existence in this ungrateful
land-and left it of my own free will.
There is money in my drawer sufficient to
pay my funeral expenses. AS to my name
try not to discover it. To prevent identi-
fication, Iharc hidden my oOn head, ,cheye
you ,ciU nerer find it,
The deceased was in his bed, and his
head was not to be found We have heard
of a French soldier in the battle of Jenna,
whose head was carried off by cannon
ball-the head, as it reached the ground,
altered "viveI' Emperieur." This modern
head went off and buried itself!

Letter from Cen. Custar.


Gen. G. "A. Gustav, noted for military
letter to John w. Forney, the "dead-duck,"
from which we give the annexed extract
Until he appeared at the Philadelphia con-
vention, Gen. Gustav was ardently admired
by the radical portion of the republicans !:
AS to the propriety of my course in at
tending the National Union Convention l
recognize in neither you nor those you
represent the right to question my motives.
If satisfy my God, my country and my
conscience, l achieve the highest aim
That my course has received the approval
of the first, and will ultimately, if not now,
receive that of the second, is evidenced by
the hearty approval of the third. As was
so feelingly expressed by the distinguish
ed statesman and patriot who presided over
the deliberations of the convention, "peace
hath her victories, none the less renowned
than war and along with the many victo-
ries upon many hardly -contested field by
the courage, fidelity and perseverance of
our noble and patriotic armies, and in
which am proud to have been very
humble participant, place as a browning
victory the harmonious assembling of that
convention, composed as it was, of repre-
scntatlveS from every state and territory,
men, who for years past have been oppos-
cd in principle and policy, but who. cast
ing aside all prejudice and personal feel
ing, assembled, intent upon one purpose,
.apd that purpose to secure the peace, pros
perity, and preservation Of the country
To achieve this grand purpose, it seemed
as if one and all were inspired by the sem
timent, "Union, concession and harmony
everything for the cause, nothing for
men," And as result of their delibera-
tions, the platform and principles adopted
by that convention may be expressed in six
words-national integrity, constitutional
liberty, individual rights. Upon this plat
form all those who desire to promote peace,
harmony, and justice throughout the length
and breadth of our land may stand
Those who desire to perpetuate strife, dis
cord, and disunion will reject it.
