The original of the following letter was
found at Arlington House by a Federal
soldier. As anything relating to the per.
sonal history of the great captains of this
war must be of interest TO the public, We
give the letter place in our columns.
ARLINGTON HoUsE, April 5, 1852.
Ny DEAR Son: / am Just in the act
OF leaving home fer New Mexico. Ny
fine old regiment has been ordered to that
distant region, and must hasten on to
see that they are properly cared for. !
have but little to add in reply to your let
ters of March 26, u and 2S. Your let.
teTs breathe a true spirit of frankness
they haYe given myself and your mother
great pleasure. You must study to be
frank with the world; frankness is the
child of honesty and courage. Say just
as you mean to do on every occasion, and
take for granted that you mean to do
right. If friend asks favor, you
should grant it, if it is reasonable; If not
tell him plainly why you cannot; you will
wrong him and wrong yourself By equiv.
ocation Of any kind. Never do a wrong
thing to make friend or keep one; the
man who requires you 70 do so, is dearly
purchased at Q sacrifice. Deal kindly
but firmly, With all your classmates; you
will find it the policy which wears best
Above all, DO pot appear to others what
you are not If you have any fault tG
find with any one, tell him, not others, oi
what you complain; there is no more dan
gerous experimentation that undertaking
to be one thing before mans face and
another behind his back. We should
live, act and say nothing to the injury Of
any one. 1t is not only best as matter
of principle, but it is the path to peace
and honor. In regard to duty, let me, in
conclusion of this hasty letter, inform you
that nearly hundred years ago there wal
day of remarkable gloom and darkness.
still known as the dark day-a day wher
the light of the sun was slowly extinguish
ed, as if by an eclipse. The legislature O
Connecticut was in session. and as it
members saw the unexpected and unac
countable darkness coming on, they shared
in the general awe and terror. 1t wal
supposed by many that the last day
the day of judgment had come. Some
one, III the CONSERVATION of the hour
moved an adjournment Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Davenport
of Stamford, and said. that if the last da,
had come, he desired to be found at hi
place doing his duty, and therefore moved
that candles be brought in SO that tn.
house could dproceed with its duty. There
was quietness in that mans mind, tht
quietness Of heavenly wisdom and infex
ibls willingness to obey present duty
Duty, then, is the sublimest word in oul
language. Do your duty in all things lik.
the old puritan. You cannot do more
you should never yish to do less, Never

A funny story is going the rounds in
Paris. A lady In the first society was re-
cently obliged to dismiss her nurse on ac-
count of an excess of fremen and private
soldiers too often repeated. After choos-
ing as successor very pretty girl, the
lady, explaining why the first was sent
away, enjoined it on the second not to do
likewise. She admitted that she shouldn't.
Il can endure great deal, said the lady.
"but soldiers in the kitchen won't en-
dure." After week or eight days, the
lady came one morning into the kitchen,
opened a cupboard and discovered a youth
ful military character. ssOh, ma'am 9"
cried the girl, frightened, 81 give you my
word never saw that soldisrsbefore in all
my life, he must have been one OF the old
opes left over by the other girll'' s,

A warming to old Isepubs.

The signs of ths times clearly indicate
b new political era, and foreshadow the
formation of new parties When Wade
Hampton and Governor Orr, aud all the
leaders of the chiyalry begin to rccogniEe
the whiIom cha;t2! as man and a brother,
to seek his political afni;ation, to exhort
him to stand shoulder to shoulder with
them," aud when the effect Of this new
and mastery style Of political strategy be-
comes apparent, 10 such speeches as that
Of arevcrend colored brother In North Car
olina recently, in which he assured bis
hearers that the Southern gentlemen
were their bost friends" and warned them
to beware Of being misled and governed
by Yankee infueucc--when we see things
like this, il Is time TO prepare for great
political changes. Now let us see what
il foreshadowed By this condition ofthings.
In the first place, il Is clear that the South
viii soon accept all the conditions, however
hard, which arc necessary in order torres
tore her 10 her proportionate political influ.
ence in the Union II the next place,
VIC think it by no means improbable that
the Southern politicians will beat North
ern republicans iu the struggle for the ne.
gro vote. They are astute politicians, aud
they have evidently made up their minds
TO accept the situation and bid for the
good will Of the freedman. Now, when
reconstruction shall have been completed
upon this basis, when all the Southern
States shall have been restored TO their
share in the Government, what viii be the
political situation The South will be Q
unit, while the North will be diyeded A
powerful minority iD the North will coalesce
with an overwhelming majority in the
South, constituting new party which
will rule the nation, in the doctrine and
spirit of this new party. Southern ideas
will predominant, while something vii
be conceded to Northern sentiment i
will be sufficiently moderate IN its aims,
and sufficiently plausible in its programme
10 win the adhesion Of many conservative
republicans, and TO reduce the ultra re
publicans ofto-daylto 3 hopeless, powerlcss
aud aouted minority. In short, so soon
as reconstruction il effected, the Republi
can, or present Congressional party, will
vanish from the stage Of action and pass
into history, as the Federal party and the
Wing party have done long ago. W.
therefore advise all ambitious young meI
who aspire TO successful political career
TO beyare of pfematurely committing
themselves, and TO hold themselves II
readiness to take up new position, wher
the new party lines shall be drawn.-Sar

The FUTURE FREEcH EMpERoR.-Ths
young Prince Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean
Joseph, son Of Napoleon and Eugene, and
prospective Emperor of France, was born
on the 18th of March, 1856, and is now
drawing towards the completion Of his
eleventh year While still in arms he was
placed on the muster roll Of the Imperial
Guards, as private in the regiment for,
as it was intended that he should receive
q military education, and afterWafd assume
a military command, it was designed as
compliment to The army that he should, at
least nominaIly, go through all the grada-
tions of the service. When old enough
to begin to learn the military exercises,
he was put through them with other
youths of his own age, and in this way he
was taught the bayonct and other drills
before be waseight years old. BY this time
too, he had been made norl-commissioned
officer of his regiment and he is now pass
ing, sep by step, through the various
grades toward the rank Of colonel But
while special attention has been given to
his military training, his education as
citizen has not been neglected. Besides
the ordinary rudiments of of.inetrpctfon, he
has received lessons in two or three hand
icrafts, the last of which was the setting
up of.types in the Imperial printing Office
Of Paris. The object of this may have
been simply to extend his sphere of knowI,,
edge and enlarge his views in after life
but the ability to earn living, like an or
binary individual, has before now proved
valuable accomplishment for even the
heir TO a throne. In the event Of the
Emperor Napolean III. dying before the
Prince. Imperial becomes of age, 1T is ar
ranged that the governmental of the country
shall be carried on for time By Regency,
under the Empress, assisted by Prince
Napoleon, cousin Of the Emperor. :

Protection to Newspaper Publish.
erH.

The following are the laws of Congress,
touching the liability of subscribers to
newspapers. ;
]. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary; are considered
as wishing to continue their subscrip-
ton.
2. Ifsubscribers who have not paid,
order their papers stopped, the publisher
may continue to send them until paid. :
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect to
take their papers from the Office, they are
held responsible until they have settled
the bill, and ordered the paper discontin-
ued. . :.
4. Ifsubscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers and
their papers are continued to the former
direction, they can be held responsible. !,
5. The Courts have decided that refus-
| ing to take a paper from the Office, or re-
moving and leaving it uncalled for is prii-
ma facia evidence of intentional fraud on
the part of such subscriber. :.

TREATMENT OF PoULTRY.-Secure
your breed for what you want it. If for
winter eggs get the Brahama; if for the
amount Of eggs in summer, or during the
year, get the Spanish Some breeds will
lay more, but smaller eggs; but none will
give as much weight in the aggregate as
Black Spanish. There are other good
breeds. Suit according to your notion OF
want. But make 10 comfortable for you,
toacls. They want to be happy, cheerful
to have enough to eat, without gorging
themselves; for fat hen will not lay, at
least, so we'll.
Do not admit disturbing element
among them. Have cock with them
Have warm quarters. Have water ready
Have ashes to wallow in. Give acces:
to gravel, to burnt bone, to animal food
and vegetables, such as onions, cabbage
&c.
Mix little ground pepper with theil
food, two or three times week Put il
in preparation of corn.meal or sour
milk. Do not exclude the pepper il
winter. e z =.
These little things are all aids, and ONLY
aids. A good breed we'll kept, and com
fortably treated, will lay without all thes.
accessories. Use, however,, as man1
means as may be; or all" if possible, and
good will result. ] Fl

GREENBAcKs AND TAxEs.-We find
the following going the rounds of news
paperdom 1.-THE Supreme Court of the
United States has rendered an important
decision in tax case carried from the
state ofNevada. one point of which is that
a tax becomes q debt when it is delinquent,
and may bepaid in currency, any state or
territorial Law to the contrary notwith-
standing; and that tho judgment of the
state court was wrong in requiring the
payment of the taxes 10 coin, as it is by the
act denied the right Of payment in legal
tender currency. Taxes cannot, therefore,
be collected lincoln by process Of law, and
the inference is that in the opinion of the
Supreme Court, money contracts calling
for coin may be cancelled in legal tenders,
whatever may be the character of the obli-

A dispatch received by the Atlantic
cable, yesterday announced the death Of
Charles Forrer Browne, whose humorous
lectures and letters under the pseudonym
of 'Artemus Ward, have become known
wherever the English language is spoken,
and genial, genuine wit and lively but
unmaliclous satire are appreciated. Mr.
Browne was born in Waterford, Me-. In
1888, we believe. and in his younger days
was printer. In 1872 he resided in
Boston, aud there his first essays in the
field of letters were made; a seires of his
contributions to Mrs. Partington's (B. p.
Shillabers) Carpet bag, over the signature
of 'Chnb," having attracted no little at
tention at that time. In the spring of
1853 he removed to Toledo, Ohio, where he
took charge of the Daily Commercial
newspaper, and retiained sthere--except

that position, for the purpose of lending
interest to his department, the legitimate
chronicles of which, in the quiet Forest
city, we're rather dry and meagre, he COM
menced the publication of his "Artemus
Ward" the success of which has been so
remarkable. These at once gave him
rank among the best and foremost OF
American humorists, and, in 1860, he
was induced to take up his residence in
New York, where for some time he was a
leading contributor to Kanity Fair.
In November, 1861, he made his first
appearance as lecturer, selecting New
London, Connecticut, we blieve, for his
debut, and achieving an immense success
Soon after he repeated his lecture IN New
York, and in most of the cities of the east
and west, everywhere adding, In his new
