have examined the appropriation bills for

been gradual increase until they now
amount to more than the original salary.
Is this not in direct violation of the letter

LETTER FROM EDWARD A. JEwRrT
CHICAGO. H.. Dec 3.
EditOr Free Press and Times
SIR My attention has Just been called
to two articles in the st. Adams Messenger,
relating to the alleged dcfalcation of Collec-
tor a. }. Crane.
1t is with the utmost surprise and indig-
nation that learn that Mr.. Crane accuses
me of having cmbezzled the funds of the
government.
When left his employment, almost two
and a half years ago, the books of the office
were correct, and if they have been tam

charges made against me.

The Free Press thus comments on Mr..
Jewett's letter; The above letter, mailed
on the 4th inst, was received by us last
evening, 1t is, rs will be seen, in the
main, simply an amplification of the denial
of the charge brought against him, and
the expression of desire for an investiga-

letter. 1t seems necessary for us to say in
reference to an alusion above, that Deputy
Commissioner Rogers, of Washington.

Rev. j. II. Converse of Burlington, pre-
scented the claims of the American combin-
alton, at Vergennes, last Sabbath. The
statistics submitted were very interesting,
showing clearly that since the first effort
made to establish an African Republic,
over fifty years ago, the most encouraging
results have followed The noted west
African slave mart, from which were an
nually shipped more than 20, 900 slaves, has
been changed to fourishing republic,

to all New England, and governed by laws
similar to our own.

TIosE people who are fearful of over
straining the minds of their children by too
rigid training in early life, will find little
support for their theory in the story of
John Stuart's Mills early life. Mr.. Mills
autobiography is out, and from it we learn
that Mills father, a scholar himself and
ambitious that his son should excel him and
all others in intellectual power, pushed his
education with merciless rigor from his ear
ly infancy. He took up Greek at three
years of age, read Plato at seven, and COM
menced philosophical and political his
tory OF Rome Mt ninc.-Iie began logic at
twelve, and the most intricate phases of
political economy at thirteen. AT eighteen
he was regular and favorite correspon-
dent of the Westminster Review, and at
nineteen was editing Bentham's "Theory
of Evidence" and writing formal criticisms
of the parliamentary debates As result
of this excessive mental labor, at twenty

a friendship which he had never sought,
