MIR. Etitor:-I am srieved at the sighting

General Wade Hampton. Suppose he did send
the dispatch he is reported to have sent to Col.
J.. s. Mosby, was it at most moro than ill-sd-
vised2 I an OF 40 admirer, certainly. OF Moss
estimation, was there anything very much smiss
in Hampton's asking his advice or esssying to
enlist in behalf of justice and right in his aflict.
ed State the acknowledged influence with the
President of his old comrsde in arms? Many
of the republicans, in Carolina at least, have
seconded Hampton, and I cannot see why he is
to be so much cansured for asking Mosby to do
so. Have you not been hasty in criticising one
whom millions all over the country now are
justly IGNORING?

The WHALE UPLIFTED.-A novel and inter.

Yesterday afternoon at the Aquarium, at Broad.
way at Thirty.ffth street. The whale was lifted
out of his tank snd suspended for over two
hours while the tank was clesued. There was q
large number of people present, and at three
o'clock all thu preparations had been made. A
strong square canvas. perforated by q number
of holes about one inch in diameter, was sus.
pended by eight ropes over the tank. These
ropes ran through p1iicys affixed TO strong sup
ports, and were each manned by 3 strong force
Of men. When the signal was given to begin
operations the CANVAS wss raised st one end and
depressed at the other, and gently drawn under
the water to the bottom OF the tank under the
whale. It was then slowly l:oisted until near
the surface, and then the order was given to |
hoist quickly. Up it went, and up went the |
whale; but one end CT tho canvas went up |
quicker than the other and The whale gracefully |
slid out and back into the water, to the intense |
delight of the children. The canvas was lower. |
ed and the same process gone through again, |
and with the same result. The third failure to |
hoist evenly the canvas resulted in q big splash
sDd the whale csyoTted around the tank and
spouted water at his would-bs captOrs in til !
umph. On the fourth trial it went up in the |
