A Spicy Letter.

A radical BLACKBOARD, bearing the name
Of James S. Brisbin U. s. A., wrote let
ter to Admiral ssmmes, through the col
umns Of a dirty Kentucky negro sheet.
which brought forth the following reply:
James s. Brisbin g. s. a:
Informer times, when apersoh, who
had the honor of signing u. S. A. after his
name, felt aggrieved, he addressed'a private
noteto the party who he supposed meant
to offend him. Such note from you
would have found ready response at my
hands. This was rule in the old service
where the uniform was a, guarantee that the
wearer of it wasja gentlemen. What chan
ges the birth Of the "New Nation" may
have brought about among those who now
wear yehoulderstraps ! am unable to say.
AS you have departed from this rule, am
constrained, to regard yon as, one OF those
new men Of the army. whose education has
been detective; though | know nothing OF
your antecedents; never having heard OF
your name or fame until | read the in
cendiary speech delivered by you to the
blacks, at Lexington KY, the other day.
Having voluntary placed yourself without
the pale of gentlemen, by assallting me
personally, through the newspapers, there
lis no other recourse left meAunless you
should hereafter change your mind-but to
|reply to you through the same channel,
do live, hope, by the grace Of God, but
do not by the mercy Of the Government Q
which You speak, since / purchased my
personal safety with consideration whici
has long since been paid to, and enjoyee
the other contracting party, to wit; the lay
ling down Of my arms, and the disbandmen
of my troops. There are no doubt, plentt,,
of such creatures as yourselves. who woul
be glad Of the opportunity to disgrace tn
Government under which they live, b
coanselling it to edisbonor; but have tn
satisfaction of believing that there are ott
err men in the United States army. beside
! the Ganaile, Of the Brisbin order who ''run
r the Freedmen's Bureau, affiliate with M
: eroes for sinister purposes, and strike 9
everything gentle in the land, in eompl
, ance with the base instincts with which a
3 ipscrutable Providence has created then
But l am wasting words on snch nice fe
r lows as yourself, and SO, if you will perm

tingt,ished Attorney General of the
State of Louisiana, Hon. B. l.. Lynch
has been commissioned by the Govern
ment to hunt up population for our
newly acquired territory of Walrussia,
Mr.. L. has set about the work entrusted
to him with his usual vim and veahe-
mence, and is said to have many con-
verts among the landless and homeless
Fenians who have recently escaped to
our fair land of freedom, from the ruth
less vengeance, of the "bloody Saxon"
Surely if anything can thaw these icy
regions into blooming fertility it will be
the warm hearts and ready hands of
these forlong exiles. We wish Mr..
