Correspondence.
CHICAGO. july 2. 1869.

Dear Banner: On arriving
at st. Joseph, Mo-, 125 miles
from Omaha, [ was delayed "a
hours, on account of the severe
rain storms which had been
prevailing for several days.
Railroad bridges, houses, Gull
verts andpart of the track were
washed away, stopping the
trains for an indefinite. period,
perhaps a week. Great dam
age was done to the grain crops.
Rather than to be delayed, ]
took the first. train out for this
place, arriving here last even
ing. [ find this city rather
agreeable, SO far. The climate
cool and bracing. Business is
rather brisk for the season.
The aristocracy might be called
of the goldfish rank and smell.
Suddenly grown wealthy with
out any effort on their part
not possessed Of sufficient men
tai culture to ENJOY life, though
possessed of every convenience
that money commands. They
are not only uncouth in man
ners, but rough and coarse
grained in appearance, only
distinguishable from their ser
wants by their gaudy equipages
and flashy jewelry.
| met with some of the edi-
torial fraternity of the Times
and find them to be congenial
chaps.
The divorce business is live
ly and getting more so as the
hot weather advances.
| have not seen many good
looking ladies on the streets,
and none really beautiful. Pro-
badly they all happened to be
at home. Short dresses is the
fashionable street garment
Hoops are rarely worn. What
they lack in beauty they, (the
ladies) make up in gaiety of
person and movement and de-
velOpment, which | think is
more preferable.
[ have not as yet seen the
elephant, but have had a
glimpse at some of the smaller
quadrupeds.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE on

Washington correspondent OF
the Charleston Courier, writes
to that journal:

Chase has been approached by
some of the first lawyers and
jurists of the South, with entire
regard for his position and
Difference to his views on the
subject OF the continuance of
martial law and military com
missions in the South. Judge
Chase, as | learn, had no hest
tation in saying, that in the
case Of Yerger, in Mississippi,
he should, if he were convicted
by a military tribunal, grant a
writ OF habeas corpus, upon ap-
plication for it. This course
would remit the accused to the
properly organized civil tribu-
mails.

Its not an uncommon prac-
tice with party leaders, to drive,
or attempt to drive, all before
them. To meet with the least
opposition is the signal for ris-
ing ire, and the Punishment of
all liberality. Appeals are
made to the passions and pre-
JUDGES of the populace, more
than to their reason. Brow
beating is their fort; compel
them to come in" is their full
gospel.
Such spirits are illiberal, e il
logical for the most part-and,
withal, dogmatical and pig
headed. From all such separate
thyself, be they religious or po-
litical leaders.
The above, from the More
house Conservative, is too true.
There are a set of politicians of
the "rule or ruin" stripe in this
country, who are determined,
if they can, to ostracise all men
who will not accept in full
measure their false dogmas.
Like the cur in the Manager,
they will not eat themselves
nor do they desire others to do
so. Nothing is right with them.
False in part, false in whole, is
their watchWord. The half loaf
that might assist the furnishing
to subsist until better days, is
remorselessly trampled under
foot, with the demand for the
whole loaf or none. He who
dares to differ with these self
constituted political leaders, is
denounced as untrue to his be-
loved South. The day of such
political espionage must soon
cease. Intelligent white men
will have their own opinions,
and what is more, dare assert
them-benzine whisky censor
ship to the contrary notwith-
standing.

The TEA THAT COMES TO THE
UNITED STATEs.-We were in a
tea house at Canton-drinking
such superfne tea as we never
tasted in the United States. We
noticed that large jars were placed
under each table, into which all
the grounds were tossed. The
Chinese do not, as already stated,
steep their tea in a pot, but put it
into your cup, pour in hot water,
covering the cup to keep in the
steam, allowing it to stand about
five minutes, draining it off and
reflling. The second one is con-
sidered the best, and the third
filling is very good. But when
the strength is exhausted, the
grounds are thrown into the Jars,
taken out doors, spread on cloths,
dried, doctored, repacked and sent
over to us! The average cost of
teas in China is from fifteen to
20 cents per pound, but duties,
freights, insurance, interest on
capital, profits to importers and
middle men, swell it to prices
which make it an article of luxury.
More poor tea is drank in the
United States than in any other
land CarletOR's Letters.

Years ago. when the people
OF this country were worship
psrs of the spirit of rebellion,
in common accord they cele-
brated with no ordinary enthu-
siasm, the then ga-lorious 18th
of July" Now that we have
all become loyal, the 4th is only
remembered as a day of humil-
iation, instead of thanksgiving,
b nccme oratory, &c. "Out
damned spot" How you stink
in the nostrils of l-o-i-l-t-y!!
