You'd those of the paint brush, beg leave
to submit this little manuscript, which, if
you deem of sufficient interest to entitle il
to publication, shall be pleased to be
honored with its insertion in your most
excellent paper.
For some time past / have been greatly
interested in the reading of a series of let
tiers published in the The -1Egis Dc ItelH-
gencer, and written by my most excellent
and worthy friend, Mr.. G. b. Coale, of Alb
ingdon, Va. In those letters we find a
style and power Of description rarely equal
led by our best and most distin guished
writers. Doubtless many of his hunting
stories, the Haunted Ball -Room, &C., to
those Of your readers unacquainted with
the author, might be considered somewhat
overweight, and passed over as mere tales
of fiction, and hence to a certain extent
would lose their interest but it happens
to my good fortune to have have had a life
time acquaintance with Mr.. Coale, and in
justice to him, | here state, and have al
ways thought, that one great merit in Mr..
CPS writings (and which Is greatly to be
admired in any writing) is his close adj
herence to truth. The adventurous hunt
ing scenes of the great hermit hunter of
the White Top, you may rely upon as
strictly true. / have followed Wiburn
Waters in his hunts-know him well, have
heard him relate even more thrilling adj
ventures with bears and other wild beasts

plary Christians have ever known, feel
confident of the truth of his assertions. |
know him well, but not so intimately as
my friend Codle, who figured so conspicu-
ously in one ofhis bear hunts of which you
have already had quite an amusing account
from his own pen. | did not have the
honor of participating in this hunt, but
was present in that memorable deer hunt
in which the gun ~kicked--or shot at both
ends-crippling the deer and wedging my
companion hunter so tightly in the tree
that he was unable to corkscrew himself
out until | had robbed him of part of
the honors ofthe hunt by killing his buck,
and for which | have long since repcnted
and hope to have received pardon.
And now, Messrs. Editors, fearing that
may again commit another objectionable
offence by a continuation of this foolish
epistle, will close with an assurance that
so long as you can secure the services of
Mr.. G. B. Coale as a contributor to Your
paper, you may count me full scholar to

increases until will have to sell my gun

CoMMENDABLE.-General Sheridan, 80
experienced in savage warfare, has been
ordered to Europe to observe the manner
in which civilized conflicts are conducted.
II he is an observant man he will discover
that in modern European war private pro-
perty is not disturbed, nor barns burned,
nor women and children treated as comba-
tants. This will be novel and valuable
addition to his stock of military knowl-
edge, and, if he is ambitious oforiginality,
he may seek to introduce it into our own
tactics in the event of any future civil
wars.-Saa.
