The style of Victor Hugo is well hit off m the following parody. It professes to be one of the poet’s oracular letters. It is addressed to a poetaster who sends the great author his comedy Ajdxticidcs, and is perhaps got up as a puff for that work: ‘‘Hauteviixe , House,, 2C;th Dec. 1868. — Monsieur: I have received your book.'

The following letter received by the Freed men’e Aid Association here, from one of its teachers in Carolina, will be found very interesting: Aixek, S. C., Feb. IS, 18G').— Dear Sir: We forward by this mail our monthly report, which Will give you some idea of the school, although the mere statistics cannot show you how much we all enjoy the new books and desks, which add so greatly to our progress. Just give us a call some morniDg at 1) o’clock, and see nearly a hundred children come into my room, of twenty feet square, where they accommodate each other good naturedly while reciting a Psalm, or suitable chapter, then repeat the Lord’s Prayer, and afterwards sing some hymn, in a way that cannot be de scribed or understood, except by those who have heard the plaintive wail that runs through all the music of Hub slave -born people. It is most touching when heard in their plantation songs, and makes one feel, that in their most joyous melodies there is a touch of sorrow, an accepted grief. Any one hearing them for the first time cannot help feeling they are God’s children, and His will broke the shackles and made them free. After the ex- the further advanced pass into Mary’s room, and with about fifty apiece, we begin the day’s work, and work it is for the teacher and pupil. Our rooms will only ac commodate sixteen desks, made for two, at every one of which we have three, two large and ane small one wedged in, even then several sit round promiscuously; and although I refused several last’ week because of no room, my courage failed to-day, when a boy came who had moved here on purpose to come to school. One man came with a boy whose father had brought him ninety miles, that he might attend school. They two (the man and boy) five alone, and he is one of my best and most industrious scholars.

FRENCH tITERATL The recent death of two men of letters, Paulin Limayrac, the journalist, and Georges Detouche, jtuilletonwle, recalls to the mind of the Paris correspondent of Childs's Pub lisher’s Circular the principal facts of their lives: The world of letters has been painfully touched by an occurrence just made public. It certainly shows the light esteem in which literary men are held by those who make most use of them. You are, I believe, fam iliar with M. Paulin Limayrac’s history. 1 have repeatedly related in these letters pas sages from it. He acquired a good deal of reputation as a writer in Pa Presse, where he proved to be a sound republican., After the Coup d'Elat he was offered a lucrative post oh Pe Vonslitutionnel, which he accepted, ahd where he showed himself as sound an imperialist as he bad approved himself a repub liican. He very justly lostcaste inconsequence of this interested somersault, and he had not been long in his'hew post before the town was made very merry by a publication which presented in parallel columns his articles op, the same subjects which had appeared in ia. Presse and Pe Consiitutionnel. Although his personal authority was gone, still, as he, spoke in the name of the FreAch government he rendered effective service to his new mas ters. He discharged theso. duties to general satisfaction for twelve or flfteeh years, and in thislabor contracted diseaseof the heart. The proprietors of Pe ÜbnstUutibnnel changed, aDd thero Were. someJchanges in the'gdv&n4 ment, whieh made it desirable M. Paulin Limayrac should retire from his place on Pe Constituiioniiet. ■ The place ‘was lucrative, the salary was $6,000 a year, and a carriage and horses were, provided by the newspaper, The burdens Were heavy. Little remained at the end of-the year. The Emperor gave him (he desired, it/ the place of Prefect of Hot: county, and promised to give him, something better in time. Soon af ter he entered upon his. official duties he died suddenly of disease of thp heart. , He had been obliged to go into debt to furnish his official residence and make ether costly ar rangements .unavoidable in this country when one enters upon office. His untimely death threw his widow into most distressing embarrassment. She was absolutely without money. She hastened to Plombieres to implore the French Emperor’s assistance. He retUßed to receive her. She came to Paris and besought the Minister of the Interior (an oid friend of her husband in the days of his prosperity), to aid her. He said he could do nothing tor her. I am told ehe IS 1 to receive a petty pension of $260 a year. She has advertised all her husband’s personal property to be sold. _ There are people who Bay she is served right, for no literary man should desert the public, which is a much more, generous patron than any crowned or uncrowned patron that ever lived. I cannot pronounce so Bevere a,sentence on distress. M. Georges Detouche, an unhappy man of letters who had tried repeatedly to kill him self, died several weeks since in the Hospital Necker. A few weeks since he threw him self under the wheels of a cart, and though dreadfully mangled, it was believed he would recover. He received internal injuries, which proved fatal after ninety days or almost inn interrupted pain. He had a sort of mono mania for suicide. He had been cut down once after attempting to hang himself, and had been brought to his senses after attempt ing to commit suicide with charcoal. The day he threw himself under a cart’s wheels be went to the top. of the triumphal arch to leap from it, but on looking down he became afraid he rtyglj) r, '(jj a literary am ff6h~ wasl,o" write the Gil Bias or the Don Quixote ot the nineteenth century. He said that, to write a work of that sort, an author should live his w oik, and make It a record of his own experience—a very common but a very false theory. In attempting to execute it he lost, his mind, his health, his posi tion, and ended his career by a suicide’s death. VIGILANCE COMMITTEE IN NEW YORK. The Air Gun, the SlungHbot and tlic Dagger no Lunger to ttun Miot iu llllr ttrtets-Vigilanies to be Pro* by Coroners’ Jurieu. The New York Sun of yesterday says : We are surrounded, enveloped, nay, im mersed in crime. In the cryptic places and dungeon holes of the thieves’ quarters in New York, the lowest and moßt degraded wretcheß who are lost to conscience, to hope and to mercy assemble nightly to concoct erimeß against person and estate. Murders are a daily crop. Dear friends, well in the morning, go out to business, and are brought home mutilated corpses. Old men go out to sweep the sidewalk, and be cut to pieces with knives. Gentlemen sitting quietly iu their own rooms, awaiting company, are seised, bound, gagged, robbed and threatened with a bullet if tney resist. Robberies are committed in the public streets, as a sort of make-up farce to the heavy tragedy of the murders. Slungshots; the deadliest of murder weapons, are used with deadly frequency and freedom. Said a venerable, well informed stranger to a citizen, the other day, “No man is safe, nor woman, either; though by your detective arrangements you seem to say so.” Nay, more, we have every reason to believe that some recreant members of the police organization itßelf are in league with ihe thievia, murderers, assassinß and house breakers. There was Skidmore, who, when arsested a year ago, turned out to have been the chiel villain of a gang of such for a long time, who, before his discharge from the ser vice, took advantage ofhiß position to Soreen himself and his associates. His house was full of burglars’ tools and implements of vio lence. He was a cunning, merciless wretch, who took delight in murder as an amusement, and in robbery as a meanß of living and dis sipation. He used the most cowardly of all the weapons ever invented for the perpetra tion of crime—the sneaking, white-livered air-gun—that does its business without noise, and takes life in open day, in the midst of crowded streets. Wo regard the introduction of this new weapon of secret murder as the most dreadful omen of public danger. It haß filled the air with terrors and inconceivable dreads. It is as if a conspiracy of the most deadly and de termined character bad been entered into, by a secret and mysterious gang of übiquitous fiends in human shape, for the destruction of the human race. Vigilance Committees are being formed in town and country, aad it is ibis alarming riot of crime that has driven good citizens to this last resort of desperation. The Vigilance Committee of Westchester is understood to have been formed to support an extraordinary police force, in addition to the ordinary force, and to act in conjunction with the uniformed policemen that aro to be Eeen in the streets; but the secret force is so to be managed as to defy the most searchiug scrutiny of the 3 thieves. We may add that the Westchester side of the Harlem river is soon to be made a very, unsafe place for thieves. The organization .ol the New York Vigi- llnce Qbmmittee is progressing; but we have alreadymade known as mtocb'asour Reporters know of its plans, and nothing further need be katd at this time. J' ' Newark. Orange, Hudson City, and other towhs on the western banka of the Hudson, and the people of Btaten Island; are seriously talking of Vigilance Committeeß on the West chehter olan. V , We do not understand that' in any case it has been proposed to resort to. ,t he Ban Fran cisco Vigilance Committee’s extremities; but it will not astonish us if a number; of burglars are shot within the next fortnight, nor need the community think it remarkable that Coro ners’ juries justify , the Vigilantes; that do the shooting. 1 At about one o’clock yestefdiy morning, Augustus Meshere was found on the sidewalk in Division, street with his head severely cut, seemingly by a bullet. He could give no account,,of the,occurrence, further than that he felt a suddon blow at the black of hie head, and ho then became un conscious. He was taken to the Madison Street Police Station.

Our vast resources made Us stronger through de lay, while the s poverty, of the* Bouth made a rapid war a necessity.; The only hope of the leaders lay in whipping ub while the Confed eracy bad the slrebgth; yet this man, slow, methodical, and Stupid, hot only failed to re alize this great fact, tmVcOiiyihced himself of the contrary. Not only this, but he failed to see, and take advantage of the many oppor tunities that the stupidity of our officers opened to him. Btonewall Jackson, for ex ample, drove Gen: Banks dowh the Bhenan doah Valley into Harper's He ought to have continued the phaseinto Washington city. McClellan had drained' the capital of its troops, and there was > nothing to meet Stonewall but the open armsof these blessed citizens again. Lee should have followed Pope into Washington after the second Bull Run, and not have given McClellan time to reorganize the shattered and demoralized army. Tbefoct of hia being a Lee of Virginia, weighed him.down. He labored daring the war as he labors now, under the beliet that he was somebody, from the accident of birth. A man to be anything, under such circum stances, in this part of God’s creation, must be a great mao. Lee is far from great, in any sense of the term. Even admitting his superiority as a military man,he falls far short of the standard set up by bis admirers. Understanding the man, with all his little ness of family pride, it most have been hard for him to have given up this old ancestral home with its wide acres, and its pleasant view of the broad Potomac sweeping by, and yet belonging to it, like the word-wide fame of Washington, that seems its attribute and charm, and the capital of his country, that appeared to look npon and approve of its claim to aristocricy. That the fallen chief tan yet turns longingly to his old home, we have the best of proof. One dreary, foggy morning; late last au tumn, a gentleman, unattended, rode Up and dismounted near the honse. He was a mao of military appearance, although in civilian dreßs, save the army cloak hecarried,and the spurs that rattled at his heels. His fade, fur rowed with care,and* his hair and beard white as snow, indicated more age than his form, measured and dign fled* Visitors to this noted place are so frequent that his appearance attracted no attention. He walked through the dreary hall, and looked in on the wide, vacant rooms, and passing to the front, stood’ for some time gazing out over the beautiful panorama, with its one great feature, the new dome of the old capitol, surmounted by a bronze statue of Liberty armed, and with her back to him, gazing seaward. From this he passed to the garden, and looking ever the line of officers’graveß thu bound its sides, saw the dying flowers, and wilted borders, and leaf-strew a walks, and continuing after a slight pause, he stopped on the edge of the fields, where the sixteen ■ thousand Union soldiers lie buried in lines,as if they bad lain down, after a review, to be interred in their places. Some negroes were at work here, raking up the fallen leaves, aud one old man stopped suddenly and stared at the visitor as if struck mute with astonish ment. He continued to gaze in this way un til the stranger, walking slowly, regained his horse and rode away, when he dropped his rake and said to hiS companions: “Shua as de Lord, men, dat was old mas sah Lee.” One hastens to imagine the thoughts and feelings that must have agitated this fallen chief as he stood thus, like Marius amid the rains of Carthage, on the one spot of all olheis, to realize the fact of the Lost Cause and its eventful history. About him were the scenes of hiß youth—the home of hia hon ored manhood- I —the scenery that gave beauty to the peaceful joys of domestic life. They were nearly ail the same, and yet between then and now came the fierce war, the huge campaigns and hundred battleß, loud with the roar of mouthing cannons, and rattling musketry, and stained into history by the blood of thousands; the smoke of burning bouses, the devastation of wide States, and the desolation of the households, and all in vain. He stood there, old betore his time, the nationality so fiercely straggled for un recognized, the great Confederacy a dream, his home a graveyard, and the Capitol he sought to destroy grown to twice its size, with the bronze goddess gazing calmly to the East And all this is so near one can almost fancy he hears the sullen roar of retreating artillery, that fought as it fell back, literally dying out in the last ditch. One can imagine this, and put a soul under the ribs of death, for, in all human proba bility, this cold-blooded man was looking to see what state of preservation his old property is in, with a view of reclaiming it some day, when a more friendly party comes to power. I had a long talk with the old man who claimed to have recognized Gen. Lee. “Well,” I said, “arn’t you sorry, after all, you haven’t the old times, with the Lee fam iiy, back again?” “No, sab,” he responded; “can’t say I is, sah. I’se very cumfutable; got my own home. God bressde President Linkum.” “Well,fdidn’tyou have a comfortable time with the old family.” “No, sab; can't say it was, Bah. You see I’s rby own master now. Ef I don’t get out 6’ mornin’s, cause ob de rheumatiz, dare ain’t any caused oberseer a cornin’ round wid a whip to hurry de ole man up, sah.

Well, eah, we waß de hosses. Whip pin’ ! I’s hearn de wimmen, an’ de old men an’ be children a howlin’undent Wo whs do hOßses den.

Howard’s savin bank—l haß, sab; brass de Lord.” The picture so graphically given by the old man of the whipping waa not agreeable; but it is out of just such as this that the flower of Virginia chivalry grows. . D. P. Abbe Liszt and the Pope. It is now said that Abbe Liszt went to Rome with the persuasion he would certainly be made a nuncio to some European court and a cardinal. " He became a prießt for no ofher reason. The Pope has an aversion to attists, and when he heard Abb6 Liszt’s am bition and complaints of being allowed to Vegetate a mere nobody, though a man of transcendant genius, the Pope exclaimed: that little muatco, a nuncio 1 a cardi nal ! I shall not make him so much as a mon signore!"

Over fi/Uen (1600) hundred miles havebeen built hy two (2) powerful com panies; the Union Pacific Railroad* heglnning at Omaha, boilding-west, and tho Central Pacific Railroad, begin nlng at and bail ding east, until tho two roadß ehail meet. Lets than two hundred and fifty miles remain to bo built. The greater <part of the interval la; now graded, and it Is reasonably expected that the through connection between Ban Francisco and New York Will bo completed by July L "As the amount of Government aid given to each is do* "pendent upon the - length of road eactrahttU-bnildi-both-: companies are prompted tip, great-efforts to secure the construction and control of what* when completed* will' be one and the only vrand Railroad Lins eonnetHfUj ths A ttatUip and Pacific coasts, 'One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars ($110,000,000) in money have already been expended by the two powerful companies engaged in this great enterprlie. and they will speedily complete tbe portion yet to bo built. When tho United States'Government found it necessary to secure the constniction of the Pacific .Railroad* to develop aim protect its own interest.it gave the companies authorized to build U such ample aid as should render its speedy completion beyond a doubt The Government aid may be briefly summed upas follows: First—The right of hud all nieecaeary timber and stone from public domain. Second—lt makes a donation of 13.800 acres of land to the mile. Which* when the road Is computed.will amount to twenty-three million (2a000,009> acres, and all of it within twenty (20) miles of the railroad. Third—lt loans the companies fifty million dollars . (SW.OQUGW), for which it takes a second Uen. - - - - The Government has already loaned Union Pacific Railroad twenty four million and fifty-eight thousand dollars (624,058,000). and to the Central Pacific Railroad eeventeen million eix hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars (817,648 000), amounting in all to forty-one million ■even hundred and eix thousand dollars (641,706,000). The Companies are permitted to issue their own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as they receive from the United States, and no more, The companies have ebld to permanent investors about ($lO 000.000) fortv mlb lir.n dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. The com. psuied have already paid in (including net earnings not divided, grants from State of California, and Sacramento city and ban Francisco), upwards of (825,000,000) twenty five million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IB THERE YET TO BE DONE? In considering this question It must be remembered that all the remaining iron to finish the road is contracted for. and the largest portion paid fer and now delivered on the lice of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad, and that the grading Is almost finished. ... WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COMPANIES TO FINISH THE ROAD f First—They will receive from the Government as the i cad progresses about 69,000,000 additional. Second—They can issue their own Pint Mortgage Bonds for about £9,000.000 additional. Third—The companies now hold almortall the land they have up to f bi* time received from the Government; upon the completion of the road they Will have received in all 23,0uQ»000 acres, which at 81 60 per acre would be worth 834£uQ.00a in addition to the above tho net earnings of the roads r.nd additional capital, if necessary, could be called in finish the road.

The' Secretary of the Treasury, In compliance U with a resolution heretofore adopted, transmitted to the HousCf joaterday, a letter.wlth enclosures, with reference to the removals v in _ the Philadel phia Custom-house, from-which it appears that the Secretary instructed Edward Hartley, Special agent, to inquire and report .what.. redactions couid be made in the force with' a view tp economy. In accordance with his recommenda tions, the Surveyor of the Port was requested by the Secretary to send to him the names of each Inspectors as conid be dispensed with. - This officer did eo, and the Secretary made a like request ef the Collector, who, instead of reporting to him the names of each persons as should be dispensed with, informed the Secretary that he had discontinued twelve Inspectors. The Secretary, in September last, wrote the Collector a letter, disapproving of his action, and directed bIU td restore them to dntv.’reservlng for fatrirc consideration the snbject of redaction. The Sur veyor was Instructed to retain on duty the lusoec tora who had been discontinued by the Collector, and tho Collector was then directed to discon tinue tho service of. the twelve inspectors Darned by the Surveyor. On November 20, the Collec tor reported that be bad dismissed twelve inspec tors, but.inetead of dismissing tbe twelve named by .the Surveyor, he had eabititated the names of twelve others, in violation of the instructions oi the Department Upon tbe reception of the Collector’s letter, stating tbe action he had taken, a letter was sent to tho Surveyor to discontinue tbe twelve inspectors namedln the department's Jetteiy Ip ,U>o .

The ' debate was very spirited throngh «nt the night session, and most of the Senators remained In their seats listening closely to the line of arguments. The longest speech against the principle of universal suffrage was made by Senator Norton, who spoke two fctnire. Between six and seven o’clock this morn ing, Senator Tates made an eloquent and earnest appeal for the rights of the colored race, and for the. proposed amendment. Although Epeoking bnt a half hoar, he succeeded in thorougbly arouslng the Senate, and was closely listened to by his colleagues, and wa9 warmly congratulated on closing. ,: No speech doting the entire debate has at tracted so mnch attention, with perhaps the sin gle exception of Mr. Samner’s.

The discussion of the general question of the policy and propriety of the proposed amendment again- sprang’up, and was participated Tn by Messrs. Dcolittle, Conness, Fessenden and .Hen dricks. -Mr. Williams urged the necessity of exclnding Chinamen from citizenship and .political power in this conhtiy, lest, having these, they should come over in such numbers as to take possession of the country. Hocsk.— Mr. Brooks, rising to a correction of the jonrnal. referred to the fact that evening ses sions bad been agreed upon by unanimous con sent, with the understanding that they should be exclusively lor the consideration of the tax bill; and yesterday, also; by unanimous consent, the consideration of the Army Appropriation bill should be the exclusive business of lost even ing, and that, nevertheless, other business Lad been transacted last evening, indudingjhe pas sage of a bill for the sale oi tbe steamer Atlantic, atid of ihe concurrent resolntlon ln reference to the electoral vote of Georgia,&c He moved that these 'latter proceedings be expunged from the journal of the House. The Speaker stated that if the facts stated by the gentleman from New York were correctly stated, as the gentleman supposed .they were, the point would nave been a. good one, bht the ar rangement as to the business of the evening ses sions ou both occasions had not been made by unanimous consent, but a suspension of the rules. Is proof of this, the Secretary read extracts from the proceedings os published in the Globe. Mr. Blaine slated that be had framed his mo tion yesterday with special regard to allowing a motion to suspend the rules In order to pnt on its passage the concurrent resolution relating to the electoral vote of Georgia. Mr. Wood desired to «ay that 107 members of the Honse appeared to have been laboring un der the same impression as his colleague (Brooks) and himself, that no business was to be trans acted last night except the Army Appropriation bill. He asked unanimous consent to have his vote recorded against the concnrrenl resolution in reference to Georgia. The Speaker said that nnder the rule unani mous consent eodid not bo asked. The House then proceeded to the business of the morning hoar, tho consideration of the bill to authorize the building of a Military and Postal Railroad from Washington to New York. Mr. McCarthy having charge of the bill In the absence of Mr. Cook, reported from the Commit tee on Roads and Canals an amendment striking onl the fifth section of the bill, which authorizes the company to make railroad connections with other companies, and to amend the sixth section by making the schedule Ume between Washing ton and New York seven hours instead of four. Mr. Kerr proceeded to address the committee )n opposition to the bill.. ' Remarkable Pastoral Bettor by Riobop '. Coxe The Proteetam Episcopal Bishop of the I)Ioce H o of Western New York has issued the following pastoral letter, appropriate to the season of Lent: • * * “The enormities of theatrical exhibitions, and the lasciviousness of dances too commonly tole rated in our times, are there eo specially pointed out as disgraceful to the age and irreconcilable with the Go. pel of Christ, that I feel It my duty to the souls of my nock to warn those who run with the world to ‘the same excesa of riot’ In these things that they pre sumo not to come to the Boly Table. Classes preparing for confirmation are informed that I will not lay hands, knowlDgly, on any one who Is not prepared to renounce snch things, with father abominations of ‘the world, the flesh and the devil.’ Let all such choose deliberately whom they will serve; and if salvation be worth striving for, let them he persuaded to a sober life, to self-denials, and to the pure and innocent en joyments which the Gospel not only permits, bat which it only can create. It la high time that the lines should bo drawn between worldly and Godly living; and 1 see no Use In a Lent that la not sanctified to such ends. “1 have heretofore warned my flock against tho blood guiltiness of anfe-natal infanticide. If any double existed heretofore, as to the propriety of my warnings on this subject, they mast now disappear before the fact that the world ttsclf le beginning to be horrified by the practical results oi the sacrifices to Jioioch which defile onr land* Again 1 warn yon that they who do snch things cannot inherit eternal life.
