GENTLEMEN :-1'he 1lditoi. 6f die

which he acknowledges 10 have re-
ccivcd from me, expressing his re-
grcts that ho could not pnblisL, >, for
the want ofroom, owing 10 its great
length, thereby intending to leave
the impression that / had requested
him to publish it; so farfrom asking
him to publish it, | stated in the
outsetthatI presumed that hewould
not publish t;itwas notwriitcn with
the expectation that he weu!d pub.
lish it; | designed it for his own spc-
cial Lencfit, toread and reflect upon

comments, in his issue of the - Of
-, upon asccond letter which he
says he had received from me, still
trying to leave the impression that
| desired him to publish it-also, and
chat it was too long for publication,
/ stated to him in the second letter
that I iicitllcr asked nor expected
him to publish the first one, that it
was intended solely forehis special
use and benefit, that was very sor-
ry to learn that lie was suffering so
much from regret at not being able
to publish it, that ,encft ofho quick
er way Of relieving him of his ro-
grcts, than to write him q shorter
letter, in order that he might pub
lish it and be i,cliesed from his
troubles that the first one had
brought upon him, and said (ironi-
calIy) to him, that ] supposed, of
course, he would publish it, and sug-
gcsted TO him that he perhaps could
find room to publish it by 6llina up
the blink columnin lis PAPER which
would probably hold the contents
of my letter, which was said in a
tantaIiEing waJ-, which Ire under
stood perfectly. Knowing that he
would not publish it, or anything

THE BLACK CApEr.--wcst Point
%as excited. Oh tie 25th ult Cadet
Charles Howard, colored, of Missis.
sippi, arrived on that day. Ho is
jct black, five feet high, aud with
an accent that smacks decidedly
Of the plantation. On landing ho
made for the Wctt Point Hotel, and
was refused room. Insisting on
his rights be sent ,fF Colonel Jerry
Black. TGo Colono, camo, saw and
waved the negro away with his hand,
contemptuously. The white cadets
seemed paraly zed. "It's dreadful, |"
says one; "lct's put the niggcr in tho
river snys another. Others threat.
cncd TO resign, and others talked Of
killing the black boy outright. But
he is there, and must drill with; the
white cadets rn.ll c&amihalior en-
tho 24th Of July. Then, says a dis.
patch TO the New York Sun, he will
fail in mental examination, and go
back to Mississippi:
This is tho programme, for the
examining officers have the power
to reject any applicant. General
Schriver,and Col. Black arc ctposed
to the African, and while they are
ut the head Of the National Acado,
my, the black boy will remain on
the plantation.
Judge. Hayer, member of Con:
grcss from, Columbia, is to appoint
Il negro, and. haa already eigncd
paper of recommendation. General
Buffers colorea youth was too
young, and the General kpsw it--he
only appointed him for political psr-
poses. But in the light Of the ff
teenth amendment, what shal! we
do. with the African in our National
and Naval Academies is u grave
question for unrcgcncrate minds.

Observation-Disclosures morning Tic

lNFANTlCIDE,-fcsterda morning the
remains Of a male child were discovered
in the collar Of the house occupied by
William Day, on Market street, North
Wheeling. The body was wrapped in a
sheet, and had q strip Of muslin wound
tightly about the neck. 1t had evidently
been deposited there but very recently,
and the fact Of its having been foully
dealt with as above indicated, demanded
an investigation of the circumstances BY
the Coroner OF that township Esquire
Burley at once had summoned the follow
ing persons US q jury of inquest: Isaac
Cots, r. H. Sweeney, Daniel Murray, e.
Daub, VIM. Purcell, Geo W. Truxell, r.
Mcconnell, II. c. Cots, James Elliott, II.
W. Phillips, Geo. Wilson and Ed. Burt.
It was brought out in hctestimony that
Mary Madden, who Ind been employed
as servant in the family Of Mr.. Day,
about two weeks, had given birth toa
child, yesterday morning, but there was
no direct proof that she had disposed oft
in tho manner before mentioned. The
jury, therefore, could only render q verdict
that tho child came to its death by stran.
,gulation, by some person to them I'M
known. ur-
A post norton examination was held
by DR.. Allen, assisted by DR.. Baird. They
united in the opinion thut the child was
alive when born. and TINT It had not been
pFematurcly delivered. We presume this
terrible affair will be investigated when
the unfortunate young woman is in cOndi-
ton to have an examination before the
proper authorities.
