"The Uery man OF all others ,oho has the

things constitute the uery harvest time Of spec

at once idle and crafty. a disor-
dered currency is one of the greatest political
eoits. Nundermines the uirtues necessary for
the support Of the social system, and encour-
ages prOpensities destructive to its hnppiness.

IN your paPsr that had dsPartei lis lJe, I
have concluded to Correct tho mistake. being
satisfied that Que else could better vouch for
the truth of my still being ON terra Gr,aa than
myself.
Some years ago. when was in the ne wspaper
business in Virginia, (my native STATED an
nounced the death of lady, who afterwards
sent me word that il created very "queer feel
ings" 10 read her own obituary. would have
been similarly affected, suppose, had seen
your paper containing the announcement that
had departed this life "in peace with all the
world and the rest of mankind" Ia further
proof that am still Sin the flesh, I" had lit
tic business talk with your son GRASyiLLr a
few days since, who can substantiaie this tie
first time you see him.
That account, published drst In the Baltimore
Aneriean, notwithstanding IL WAS done without
my knowledge or consent, is altogether correct;
instead OF having died, have never enjoyed
better health in my life than since have been
sick, however, since was a boy, and never take
medicine. was never intoxicated in my life;
and although fond of the taste of al kinds Of
spirtuous liquors, do not think have drank
half gallon of all kinds together during my
whole existence. . AS for tobacco, never used
ii in any way. Eye-sight as good as it ever
was.
believe that nine .tenihs Of the sickness q.
mon st people is caused by eating too much and
too often. saw an article not long since in
LhWs Journal Of Health, (Which is considered
pretty good Gu,hority.) in which the statemen,
was made, that it would be better for people to
| eat Zone coed square meal day." than to be
eating little at a sine and often which be
lievc to be correct. The constant pressure on
the stomach with or by often eating overtsxes
its functions aud the gastric juice is consumed
to exhaustion. Hence dyspepsia and all its ac-
com panimenis and followings.
hope that the ''Inteligencer'' lie thriving,
and that you may have long lease of life to
conduct IL az ably and acceptsbly you did in
| anti beliuDi DAYS. do not think that | have
seen a copy Of it since the war. As l have been
out of the newspaper business since my Office in
Berryvile, Clarke County, Va, was destroyed
during the war by the Survivors of the nation,
see very few Virginia papers now. Being dis
gusted with the result of the war, | quit the
newspaper business with determination never
TO go into II ngain. And am more and more
satisfied with myself every day live that
come to the conclusion not TO vote again or
NEEDLE in politics. In truth, am an unrscon
s,ructed Rebel, and hope to die one should
| live n thousand years.
| Times ale terribly dull here. II will take
more than Philadelphia lawyer TO unravel ihC
mystery how u large majority Of the peopi'
here manage 10 keep soul and body together.
| And the eud is not yet. Respectfully, &c,
