SIR.-I tax the liberty of addressing you
privately on the subject of the conversation
we had this morning, feeling as l do the
great danger to the welfare of the country
EshouId you carry out the designs then(ex-
pressed. First, on the subject of the dis
placement of the Secretary of War. His
removal cannot be effected against his will
without the consent of the Senate. 1t is but
short time since the United States Senate
was in session, and why not then have asked
for his removal, if it was desired E. 1t certain
ly was the intention of the legislative branch
bof the Government to place the Cabinet
Ministers beyond the power of Executive
removal, and it is pretty we'll understood
that, so far as Cabinet Ministers are affected
by the tenure of office bill, it was intended
specially to protect the Secretary OF War,
in whom the country felt great confidence.
The, meaning Of the law may be- explained
away by an astute lawyer, but common sense
and the views of the loyal people will give to
it the effect intended by its trainers. Second,
on the subject of the removal Of the very
able commander Of the Fifth Military Dis
! trlct, let me ask you to consider the effect
it would have upon the public. He is
universally and deservedly beloved by the
people who sustained this Government
through its trials. and feared by those who
| would still be enemies of the Government.
IL fell to the lot of but few men to do as
much against an armed enemy as General
Sheridan. did during the rebellion, and it IS
within the scope of the ability of but few in
this or any other country to do what he has
done. His civil administration has given
equal satisfaction. He has had difficulties to
contend with which no other district conf
mander has encountered. Almost, if not
quite, from the day he was appointed district
commander to the present time the press
has given out that he was to he re-
nioyed-that the administration was tlissatis-
fed with him, &C. s.
This has emholdened the opponents to the
laws of Congress within his command to OPP
pose him inievery way in their power, and
has rendered necessary measures which
otherwise might never have been required.
In conclusion allow me to say, as a friend
desiring peace and quiet, the welfare of the
whole country North and South, that it is,
in my opinion, more than the loyal people
of this country q mean those who supported
the Government during the great rebellion)
will quietly submit to that the very man of all
others. in whom they have expressed conf
dence should be removed. would not have
taken the liberty of addressing the Executive
of the United States thus but for the converse
ton on the subject alluded to in this letter,
and from sense of duty. feeling that know
l am right in this matter. Il
With great respect, your obedent servant,

.All that, perhaps you say, is too general
and abstract. Well, then, here's something
concrete. Since the war, more than fifty
Northern families have settled on plantations,
either bought or leased, within thirty miles
of this place. Those of them that know
are highly respectable, and include ladies Of
education and refinement. From the time
they arrived to the present day, social

not impossible, and only attainahle at the

even a Christian is called upon to seek

may get along by dint of much smoking,

Every word of it is true, and the portrayal

prompts me to say that if these people in
some respects resemble the Chinese, they in
many Others remind me of our Sioux In

profoundly; and their attitude of humility
after the surrender was sincere, because they
knew what they deserved, and what the

list year of her age.
OBITUARY.
In early life the subject Of this sketch en-
braced the religion of Jesus, and connected
herself with the German Reformed Church.
Her whole life eXemplifcd the graces Of the
christian character, and attested the sincerity
Of her profession, Her consistent and de-
voted, though transformations piety secured for
her the esteem and affection of a wide extend
ed circle of acquantances and friends. Her
meek and accomplishing submission to the
will of God, expressing itself in affective provi-
dences attested the reality of her trust in
Him, who orders AL things after the counsel
Of his own will In all the relations of life, as
worthy of imitation The heart of her hus-
band safely trusted in her, through a period of
more than half century, during which they
shared the joys and sorrows of life together.
Her children found her ever their best and
truest earthly friend, whose preccpts and ex-
ample all tended to lead them to the love and
practice OF every christian excellence For a
period OF ten years preceding her death, she
had suffered from paralysis; yet as long as she
retained consciousness or the power of ex-
preston, no word of complaint at the dispen-
sation of Providence escaped her lips. She
was the Lords and felt that it was his right to
do with her as seemed good in his sight. After
almost unparalleled suffering, she at length
yielded her spirit into the hands of Him who
gave it, and redeemed it, and sweetly fell
asleep i'll Jesus.

deplore thee,
Since God was thy ransom, thy guardian, thy

He gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore
thee;

hath died" Hs.aa#a

English Tories and American Democrats

The old Tory party of England are
Bill as the Copperhead party in this
country are with the Reconstruction
Bill. The Reform Bill enfranchises
600, 600 of the laboring class in the
South. The Tories denounce the
Reform Bill because it will strength
en- the Liberal party; the Copper>
heads denounce the reconstruction
Bill because it will strengthen the
Republican party. The Copper
heads allege that the laboring men
thus made voters in the South are
extremely ignorant people, and don't
know enough to vote the Conserva>
tive ticket. This is exactly the alle-
cation the Tories of England bring
against the new voters under the
Reform Bill-extrene ignorance,
and tendancy to support the Liber-
al side of politics. And it is just
there where the shoe pinches. If
the working class of England, or of
the South, would join the Conserva-
tive party, and vote their ticket, we
should hear no more evil prognosti
cations of danger to the Constitution
and overthrow Of our liberalities.
But the ball progress is rolling on,
and the old Bourbons on both sides
of the water must get out of the way
or be run over and crushed. Stand :
ing still and croaking will not save
them.

Loquacity and Reserve.

The ideas of great talker differ
much from those Of the reserved man
tho former being superficial and
comparatively valueless, while the
latter(generally vented in proverbs)
are truthful, impressive and profound.
The language Of the former skips
along as easily and gracefully as the
greyhound, while, on the contrary
that OF Inc latter slowly, clumsiiy,
and lisa, ly EDWARDS, like the pon~
derous and unwieldy elephant He
finds it difficult to give utterance TO
his thoughts, which rush forward to
the portals of his mouth in such
crowds, that they, in fact, block it
up. Whenever you meet with a man
OF this kind, give him time, and do
not mistake his tedious hardness for
Ignorance or imbecility Of mind. In
nine cases out Of ten he has lived in
solitude, and because he has not been
habituated TO conversation, his tongue
grows SO rusty that, when he does
venture into society, no one will wait
till he is drawn out, and therefore his
reserve continues 10 increase Do
not contemptuously turn your back
upon him, but listen, and he will in
all likelihood, repay your civility
with interest. The eagle is solitary

still he is an eagle, nevertheless. Do
not imagine that he is dead or asleep,
but be more attentive to nature
The gun is silent until its note is one

and terrific roar are simultaneous; the
volcano is silent before an eruption,
and all nature seems dead before the
tornado and the earthquake. Nature
employs silence to concentrate her
energies, that the effect may be more
appalling and sublime. As iron. by
long exposure to the action of fresh
water, has a rusty exterior, but is
inwardly improved in quality, SO the
