A letter was received Yesterday by
a prominent col red statesman in this
city, of the Pinchback wing, in which
the rejected Senator gave vent in a
most unmista takable manner to his
feelings, and disclosed a portion Of
the programme which be contemplates
pursuing His rage aud Indignation
against Kellogg have no earthly
bounds; he brea;heS a fire and
vengeance which no mundane appli-
auccs are calculated to allav, and
there is only a gloomy prospect of
his unloading his burden Of revenge
even in crossing the Styy.
The reluctance of Kellogg to re-
appoint George Paris as Tax Asses
sor receives particular mention in this
letter. Pinch says that Kellogg will
not dare to refuse, and if he does he
must render a terrible accout. He
expects to return to the city by the
latter part of next week, and though
coming as a defeated man, he will
assume the panoply OF conqucror
and make a triumphal entry.
He wants his friends to get him up
a public reception, and conduct him
from the railroad depot to his home
in all the pomp aud circumstance Of
brass banls, torchlights and an
enthusiastic body of processionists
who must receive particular instruc-
TONS to hang their hats on the horns
of the moon, and shout, regardless of
cost or consequences Ali this being
done, he will foot the bill himself.
Then he proposes to devote himself
to the work of creating new party
a parry whose oath of fidelity shall
be to swallow Packard raw, and toast
Kellogg over a slow fire and cut him
up into little slices as an especially
dainty dish. lie still thinks he cal
unite the colored element on his sid,
throughout the State, and force al
disafiected carpct-baggers Of the
kellogg-Packard stamp into an un
conditional surrender.
In addition to all this, he proposes
to unfold a number of tales. and make
things howl generalIy.-N. D. Pic

A BENEDICTION.

He held her hand one minute in his own;
Murmured, through parting lips, 'God helI
you, sweet ~
Left her alone :. and in his vacant place
The twilight stole with soft and noiseless feet
He passed away through dewy garden paths,
Flooded with waves Of moonlight, weird and
white;
And mystic scent of leaf-veiled lilac bloom
Waiting its incense to the soul of night.
Between the setting and the rising sun,
Adrift her spirit wandered, till the day
Woke the new story of a life began
Out of the grave of one that slipped away.
A twilight life, of gentle thought and deed,
Of seifess purpose and reliant prayer;
A spirit moying in the misty light
or springtime perfume on the evening air.
Standing alone, her life was doubiy blest,
BY this dead love, and love of sorrow born
Till tender Death sang all her soul to rest,
And merged spring twilight in the summer
morn

COMMERCE AND THE PREss-At the 107th
anniversary of the Chamber of Commerce of
New York, the venerable William Cullen Bry-
ant responded to the sentiment in honor of the
press. He said that commerce and the press
are closely united are dependent on each other,
and cannot be severed without destroying both.
Let there be no exchange of commodities, he
said, and the press would perish of inanition ;
let there be no press, and the merchant would
be in utter darkness and perplexity, afraid to
venture upon any enterprise, for want. of the
information upon which all safe enterprises are
founded. Mr.. Bryant freely admitted the short
comings of the press, while maintaining its ac-
tivity and courage in the exposure of abuses.
Among journalists, there is the same variety of
characters as among men of other vocations.
There are men of sturdy and resolute honesty,
and there are others who are simply rogues.
There are enlightened men among them, and
there are men who are deplorably ignorant.
There are men of wavering and unsettled Opin-
ions, on the one hand, and men of impractical
BILE and pig-headed obstinacy, on the other.
There are men of brilliant literary talents, and
others whom for want of a more polite designa-
ton, should call stupid; there are fearless
men, and men easily frightened. But, on the
whole, he boldly maintained that as a class, the
journals of this country are wiser and more vir-
tuous than its legislators, and those who Justly
considered its influence for good, should be ex-
cused for feeling of satisfaction at belonging
to so useful class.

SYDNEY SMITH ON KIssING-We are in ia
vor of certain amount Of shyness when a
kiss is proposed, but it should not be too long
and when the fair one gives it, let it be admin
istered with warmth and energy let there be
soul in it, If she close her eyes and sighs i'm
medately after it, the effect is greater. She
should be careful not to slobber kiss, but
give it as humming bird runs his bill into a
honcysuckle but delicate. There is
much virtue in kiss when we'll delivered.
We have the memory of one we received in
our YOUTH which lasted us forty years. and we
believe it will be one of the last things we
think of when we die.

EARLY MoRNINe.-The brightest, best, the
most beautiful part of the day is early morning.
There seems also to be a moral influence, and
sweet healthy power at this time. The air is
fresh, the feelings are renewed, the spirit is
calm, and we enter upon the day rested and re-
stored If we had day without night, and our
hours of repose were amidst the hot rush of
constant activities, we should lie down and be
unrefrcshed 1t is blessed position that ma
ture gives us, in the curtains of the night, and
We may sleep with the glare of the day shut
out and arise in the morning, as the day begins,
to see all nature start afresh. Therc-is both
stimulus aud encouragement in the air we
breathe at this time.
