Personal correspondence through uewspa-

Mr.. JamiesOas Communication IN your issue
of August 18th, that he is mistaken. as 10 not
having published private letter. Aa no
less private man, than public man; and
chat am public man, gives Mr.. Jameson
or any other man, no right to publish pri-
vate letter of mine without my consent or
knowledge.
He says: "The letters will show that in

what do they show thisi The letter to which

guardedly 50. Perhaps this feature shows
me meant il for publication. but in my SIM
plicity, have really attributed this feature
of the letter. to real courtesy in the man.
Again be says: al told him vas cores
POnding for the Present Age, and if he had
no objection would like to continue the dis
cussion through the Age."
Now. thza is just what he ought to have
done, had he designed me to write for his pa

have had no right to complain. or to express
"tsurprise" Gas did) at finding. myself in

at his service if he wishes it. 1t contains not
a word of discussion" or of publish ing

or any intimation from which could sus-

Nor for two months after it was written, had
any knowledge of its publication, when a
friend showed me a back number of his pa
per containing it. The letter vas not written
with intent to publish. 1t was not fit to pub

willing to go to press, should I presume to
write ON such subject, and no man
had any right to put it in press without my
permission No true sense of courtesy would
have permitted Mr.. Jameson so to "use" it
without my knowledge. As to my Bible
and Geology. my lecture on that subject was
public, and I and quite willing that
those who heard it shall judge it. As to the
challenge to public debate on the compare

Darel' Dare" "Come on gem

mount. If Mr.. Jameson is suffering fer
lack of matter to combat, it viii bear ham,

As to the "PrOfundity of logic of COM
pairing God to mother and wife, did not
compare them. But if had. what object is
more sacred and dear on earth than mother

reinstated in the possession, justly forfeit
ed by treason. Lincoln's name will be
dishonored Lee and Davis will be reck-
oned among the saints, and their statues
will be placed in the Capitol to commem-
crate their deeds and inspire our young
men to follow their example. Our wound
ed and crippled soldiers, now the object
of the nations care and bounty because of
their brave deeds and suffering in defend
ing it against Lee and other rebels, will be
turned into the streets to starve, while the
follow ers of Lee will be fed and pensiOned
at the public expense. Treason will be
made honorable and patriotism be sunk in
shame. The nations creditors may starve
with their Bonds, and the nations enemies
will demand and receive payment for the
loss of slaves and other property sacri-
feed by them in trying to destroy the
Union. This is what democratic success
leads to. And yet there are republicans
who say that old issues are dead, that the
republican party has fulfilled its mission
and ought to disband, and that there will
be no danger to the country with demo-
cratic administration. If this shameful
eulogy upon Robert 4. Lee in the Senate,
with its accompanying disgraceful prop
osition as to our honored dead, does not
have the effect to teach and enforce the
necessity of keeping out of power the
rebels and those who sympathized with
them, then nothing will; not even the ris-
ing of the murdered Lincoln in his bloody
shroud and warning them of the danger
could awaken them to their folly Far
distant be the day when rebels shall rule
Congress and the country, and national
virtue become so perverted as to know no
difference between a patriot and IA traitor,
between him who fought for his country
and him who fought against it. We re-
loice at the prompt rebuke which the Sen
ate gave the infamous proposition of Nc
Creery, and trust the incident may open
ewes that have been closed to the dangers
that threaten the Union if the democracy
recover the ground they lost by the rebel
lion.

FAR SPLlNTERS.

The bombardment of Paris is now men
toned as certain event.
Gambe,ta has given up the idea of an ar
mistice and taken to the defence again.
Dispatches say Napoleon is growing fat
and healthy in his captivity. 1t agrees with
him to be prisoner.
Even the balloon business is nearly sus-
pended by the closeness of the siege of Paris.
The three days bombardment of Thionville
destroyed one half of the town.
Red trousers are no longer to be worn in
the Belgian army. AT present the similarity
of the Uniform to that of the French troops
has occasionally exposed them to the fire OF
Prassian troops, who mistook them for enc
mies.

abode of the generals; secondly, to facilitate
communication of orders emandtlng from those

The promenaders of the Jardin DIES Plantes
in Paris become daily aware of the diminish
ing number of animals which are exhibited
there. The horned animals have nearly all
disappeared, and the two young bears presented
by Prince Couza have also gone the way OF
all flesh in Paris other than human-that is,
to the restaurant. Birds, also, are becoming
few, but eagles and other birds of prey, not
being suitable for the cuisine, are still to be
seen in their accustomed cages.

predicament, asked leave to withdraw his

claiming that under the rules it could not be
Withdrawn. He wanted such vote in the
matter that no one would ever again dare to
bring up a similar proposition. Trumbnll did
not think this the wiser course; and if it were

this that the advocates of rebels can push
their claims with unblushng effrontery in
the very halls of Congress, and canonize
such traitors as Lee in that presence, while
the embers of the rebellion still smoke and
the wounds which it created are not healed?
This man was the vilest of traitors and in
