Dear Mrs. D,mi,ray:-Enclosed find
ten dollars for three subscribers to be
sent as follows
am much surprised that our money,
which we call National, should pass at
discount with you. think distance
should make no difference while you
belong to the States, and the most of
you probably have gone from among us.
Surely there is none among us, nor
anywhere else; whose energy 1 have ad-
mired so much as 1 have yours, from the
day l first saw you at the convention in
New York, and it has never Iessened by
reading your paper. I agree fully with
the writer in our last paper, (Nov. 23),
who in describing Portland says, "The
NEW NORTHWEST, published by Mrs.
A. J. Duniway, is, without exception,
one Of the best and most ably edited
literary sheets OF the Pacific coast" And
he might have added the Atlantic also.
There is just enough of it; ones patience
does not tire-you know how to keep up
the interest. l am so much surprised
every Llllt 4 IElQ IL bldb NeOu stIe
sole editor and proprietor, and that your
boys Smart boys those = are doing all
the work and you, as it would seem, are
constantly lecturing in not only your
own State but all the surrounding Terri
tories. OF course 1 wish you altman
ner Of success.
The principles you are advocating
seem so perfectly clear and plain to US,
we wonder any human being of common
sense can be against them, as I used to
think in the anti-slavery time, You
were not old enough to take part in
that. We are quite at variance with
our town authorities, who are very still
about the justice of taking our money
from US, and if we would only pay our
taxes we might say what we pleased; but
by refusing TO pay we shall oblige them,
think, to give some reason for depriv-
ing US Of all power and the privileges
they themselves value so highly.

We have been taught to consider the name

is the farthest remove from anything graceful

The latest conundrum is, What becomes Of

answer it. 1t ls literally impossible to find a

SUCCESS. The past mode is as it it had never

Colored stockings, both in silk and Lis1e
thread. will be widely worn in the country this
summer. Plain scarlet. blue, and, lavender,
will find favor. but the preferred varieties are
ribbed with coiols aud white, or similarly striped

stripes are considered most becoming, while for
stout legs, yerticol stripes or ribs arc chosen.

An interesting correspondence has been pub
lished between Joseph Jones and 8. Cooper,
formerly Adjutant-Gonerul Of the Confederate
ststes, rel.tiye to the forces in arms for the
Confederacy. From this correspondence it sp-
pears that the Confederate States never had
more than 200, 900 men in arms at one time; that
from 1861 the whole number OF Confedera.es
actively engaged WAS only 5U0, 900, the number Of
deaths 200,0 900, OF prisoners, considered total
losses on account OF the United States policy
OF exchange, 200. .0oc; loaaes by discharge,
disability, and desertion, 100000, aud in
arms Ut the close OF the War less
than 100000. Il is evident that Gen.
Cooper greatly understates the loes by deser-
ton, It is believed On the best authority that
there were in the Confederate States 1T the close
Of the Har not less than $4,000 dessrters and Per-
sons lurking to avoid conscnptlon. Baaides,
many of the prisoners were not totally lost,
large number having returned to the Confeder-
ate ranks in the spring Of 1865. The fact can
not be gainAayed, however, that, il there had
been less desettlon, and conscnpts had ceme
readily forward, and the Quarter7nastcr's De-
pa1tment had been more honestly administered,
