ToRpEDoEs.-Some fellow with more time
On bis hands than brains in his thick head,
tried to amuse himself Sunday evening by
placing torpedocs on railroad tracks for
passing cars to crush the noise out of them.
The first enc was placed on the rails at the
corner OF Baronne and Julia streets, the
second in front Of the st. Charles Hotel,
and the third at the corner of Dryades and
Canal streets. On each occasion the report
caused considerable alarm, and drew large
number of people, who supposed that some
one had been shot. 1t is possible that the
perpetrator meant something more than
fooIislness. The torpedoes are of the shape
and size Of a small backing box.

10 A POLITICAL OPPONENT.
send thee, Greeley, words OF cheer,
Thou bravest, truest, best OF men;
For have marked thy strong cayeer,
As traced by thy own sturdy pen.
I've seen thy struggles with the Toes
That dared thee tn the desperate fight,
And loved to catch thy goodly blows,
Dealt for the cause thou deem 1t the right.
Thou'st dared to stand against the wrong,
Whcn many faltered by thy side;
In thy own strength hast dared be strong,
Nor on another's arm relied.
Thy own bold thoughts thou'st dared TO
think
Thy own great purposes avowed;
And none have ever seen thee shrink
From the fierce surges of the crowd.
Thou, all unaided and alone,
bidst take thy way In HES young years,
With no kind hand efasped in thine own,
No gentle voice to soothe thy tears.
But thy high heart no power could tame,
AND LQOu ndSt ueY6t Ceaheu 10 1851
Within thy veins q sacred flame,
That turned thy iron nerves 10 steel.
Thou still art In thy manhood's prime,
Still foremost mid thy fellow men,
Though in each year OF all thy time
Thou hast compressed three score and ten.
Oh, may each blessed sympathy,
Breathed on thee with tear and sigh,
A sweet flower in thy pathway be,
A bright star in thy clear blue sky.

to receive from you your kind and en-
couragiug letter of the 18th inst
You are right in stating that |

business qualifications as well as HE
character for honor. honesty and truth.
] had a business transaction with him
in which he cheated me out Of 700,
with a GOODNESS and deliberation that
would do credit to any blackleg. In
the mail that carries this letter / send a
copy OF che Transcript, a paper pub
lished in this city, containing An article
relating to the transaction ALLUDED TO,
every word OF which is true, as | stand
ready to prove by Grants letter
and the original contract in MY
possession. Indeed. the Transcript
has dared the Grant papers here
and elsewhere to deny single allega~
ton in the article, which they have not
had the temerity to do, as everybody in
Washington knows it is true in every
feature. l intend to prosecute Grant
before our Courts, and have made ar
rangements to commence suit against
him at the next term, when the whole
matter will be shown up to the world
in evidence that canno: be disputed.
This affair is only an index to Grants
private character. He is misery,
sordid man, and will resort to anything,
evasion or invasion Of law and justice,
or anything else that an honorable per-
son would despise, to put money in his
pocket By his speculations in Seneca
stone rings and other scaDdalous jobs,
through his military coterie about
the White House, his presents,
and farming out Of official
positions, he will leave the Presidency
on the 4th Of March next as rich as a
Jew, and as Infamous as he who berray
ed his Lord and master for thirty
pieces of silver. His habits are of the
worst possible kind, and his associates
of the lowest order. Indeed, his in
stincts are low and vulgar, and he is
never 80 well satisfied as when he is in
company with horse jockeys, smoking
cigars, drinking whiskey and talking
horse" Decentralization and corrup-
ton are the order OF the day in all sec
tons of the country" and these have
their origin at the White House and
at Long Branch. Examples set there
are followed by the parasites until their
influences has ramified every town and
county in the nation. Greeley will end
this in trice.
