We do not return rejected manuscripts. fir voluntary correspondence is solicited from alt parts Of the world, and espedally from our dint ellt ndinary and naval departments. When used, It will be paid itsr. TROUBLE WITH THE SOLDIERS. We commiserate the Democratic politi cians on their difficulties with the soldiers. There Mims to be no relief for them. In this city they oppose the Union mu.. nicipal ticket, headed by MORTON Mc- Micstexu, because among the candi dates the soldiers are not largely re presented. Probably the. best answer to this amusing argument from such a quarter is the fact that very few' soldiers of fered themselves for nomination before the Union City and County Conventions ; and those who did are now actively canvassing for Mr. McMicnam and his associates on the Union ticket. This circumstance, so creditable in itself, and yet so surprising] in view. of the readiness anti willingness of the people to reward the brave men who have served and saved the Republic, proves that they have not rushed to the party conven tions for reward in the spirit that seemed to fear they might he forgotten. The name of General JOSHUA T. OWEN was presented to the Union Conven tion for the Mayorality, and lie was defeated by Mr. Mc.llrciLism. He is now on the stump advocating his success ful rival, and never has he spoken with more eloquence and ability. Other officers of distinction co-operate with General OwEN. No complaints of the course of the ITnion party come from these brave men and their compatriots. They know that the Government, iu an its various departments, has already cared for • thousands of the heroic defenders of the flag, and is daily carrying out the same just and liberal policy. The bitterest com plaints arrainst the Union party come from those who have not only not fought for the Republic, but, until the rebellion was crushed, sympathized with the traitors. Mr. McMicnaEL might rest his case upon the answer to the:simple question—what right have the friends of his competitor, Mr. Fox, to undertake the championship of the soldiers' cause, or in any way to expect the soldiers' votes? In four years of a life-straggle for the best Govern ment in the world, when thousands of our citizens were absent fighting for the flag, and looking to a sound and generous public opinion to support the Government in its efforts to protect themselves and their fami lies, we never heard of Da.xxxL M. Fox. No subscription of money to the great public testimonials for the aid of the vridows and orphans of the soldiers—no active associa tion with such noble institutions as the sanitary Fair or the Cooper and Union refreihment saloons—even no warm words of encouragement to our absent heroes— no manly protest against the fiendish cruelties of the rebels. " While," as the Bul letin of last evening well says, "upon the other hand, he has been in open and avowed sympathy with the party that op posed the war until. it n atecame a success, and which declared as the first principle of was a failure, and that the Union eomtr — nat - ne restored by its agency." Such is the De mocratic candidate for Mayor of Phila delphia. It might be supposed that a citi zen with such a record, or without any record at all identifying him with the great movement to save the Republic, would dis suade his partisans from basing their ef forts in his behalf upon friendship to the soldier& He should be candid enough to take the other ground, and to ask the popu lar suffrage because he was and is a mem ber of an organization, which, in this city at least, from the hour that Sumpter was fired upon, was led as it still is inspired by men who openly and flagrantly sympathized with the insurgents. To assume the other attitude—to say he held other opinions and wished, for other results, is simply to open himself to ridi cule and to multiply the evidences of the hypocrisy of his organs and his sup porters. It is different with MORTON Mobitortact. He was one of the first and most earnest enemies of the rebellion, and one of the most persevering advocates of the Union cause. His masterly speeches, his power ful editorials, his unfailing energies, were felt in every part of the country ; and his active connection with the Union League, urging its munificent contribu tions to every patriotic fund, and its orga nizations of splendid regiments for the con quering armies of the Republic, made him a most useful and effective auxiliary of the Government. The world does not know all the good that has been done by that powerful organization. Its record of individual and general liberality, if ever made known, will constitute a page in the volumes that tell the wondrous story of the war, more brilliant than any that describes the work and the fruits of the work of any civil association in the coun try. Of this noble brotherhood MORTON 111cMicirAF4. was a founder, and has been and still is an honored and beloved mem ber. But if the dilemma of the so-called De mocratic party, as to the soldiers, is a sorry one here in Philadelphia, it is a deplorable one in the interior. We have already shown what a sad fiasco Col. DAVIS, the Democratic candidate for Auditor General, is making of his campaign through the State. The Norristown independent, of yesterday, says of his speech at that place a few evenings ago "The Colonel abused Thaddeus Stevens for being a Know Nothing (what a crime ! and yet, Colonel, right behind you, on the Democratic platform, sat two), and he abused Wendell Phillips—who never belonged to our party, and opposed the election of Lincoln and tiohnsOn— because he went for universal suffrage, yet he had no word of sorrow or sympathy for the poor fellows who were starved to death at An dersonville. No words of denunciation for Jell Davis (we hope he is no relation to Colo nel Davis), no rebuke to the miscreante of the south who deluged the land in blood—no, nothing but opposition to the Union party and their supposed creed. The Colonel is like the Alan who went to the Niagara Falls. Ile ar rived there at night ; took a lantern and went out to bee the greatest cataract in the world ; "thought it wasn't pretty," and left before sunrise next morning. i; If Wirz don't get a better idea of "Down below in a few days, than Colonel Davis has of the. Rebellion awl its angels, then there is no H—ereafter, that's all.”, Here is a soldier who accepts the Cop perhead nomination for a State office, who allowed a Copperhead to conduct his own newspaper, unrebuked by himself, for three years, and to fill it with the vilest assaults upon the Government he was be ing paid for fighting for—who makes speeches without saying a word against the rebellion, and who has no higher theme than- opposition to negro suffrage— an issue not in the election, and having no possible connection with the office for which he is running. What is there in such a candidate, or in his appeals, to touch the hearts of the people, or to awaken the ardor of the returned veterans? But Colonel DAVIS is consistent in one thing. He not only forgets the crimes of the traitors • and the sufferings of the Union soldiers,—he forgets the black record of the Democratic leaders under whose aus pice he was nominated, and on whose plat form he is standing. From the chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, Mr, Senator WALLIcE, to the notorious JEREMIAH S. BLACK, JAMES Boonanan's Attorney General, the author of the atro clout homey that the American Govern ment had no power to protect itself from annihilation, and also the author of the Copperhead resolutions of the conven tion to which Colonel DAVIS owes his can =Macy, they gave few signs, by vote, or word, or act, showing their gratitude for, or even their decent remembrance qt' the valor of the soldiers of the Republic. Of this record COlonel, DAVIS takes no notice, and makes no defence ; but contentedly ac cepts their nomination and obeys their orders. If he receives the votes of the Union soldiers of Pennsylvania, they will prove that they have memories al treacher ous as his own. , 14IINDAT-RuHooLS AND THE REM Gaines TRAINING OF OUR YOUTH. The M. E. Sunday-school Conference has been in session here, and, as its name im plied, confined its attention solely to the denominational Sunday-ichoole, their in ternal polity, and the enlargement of their capacity for good. It remained but two days in session (Tuesday was the last), and these two days were almost wholly taken up by the discussion of a se ries of questions involving pupils and teachers ; how to improve the former ; how to make the latter embrace their calling with zeal and profit. The reporters tell us that the questions were taken up one by one, considered carefully, and proper de cisions made, Of course, the discussions affected the M. E. schools only, but gave opportunities for bringing out suggestions affecting schools of all denomination& But it appeared to us, when we read the questions at the time of their publication, that they did not cover the whole ground, or even a fair part of it If we understand them aright, they refer entirely to children already in the schools—children who are sent or cone there of themselves—children already in the sphere of spiritual influence. It may be well enough, and no doubt is well enough, to render that influence upon them as powerful as possible—to cultivate in their hearts a love for religious truths, and so teach their heads that reason can assist faith when faith staggers, weakens, or fails. But are these children already se cured all the objects of the care of Sunday schools schools? These institutions are as old as the Christian religion itself. 'They are intended to train all youth in the way they should go—to take the child's attention from his little sports, pastimes or other oc cupations of the week, and enlist them on Sunday in studies necessary to make him a thorough Christian, and, by consequence, a good citizen. When the child is natural ly attracted to the Sunday-school, or at tends at the instance of •those over him, the work of the school is comparatively simple and easy. If it is not, the experi ence of hundreds of years, and a pastor of commonsense, can soon make it so. Few little ones, who have good teachers, will stay away from their " classes" unwilling ly when their interest, and at last their low for religion, is once excited, and that is a task of no extraordinary difficulty, for what grander and nobler themes can be discovered than those with which Sacred History is filled ? What tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" can as quickly en trance the little one's ear as the tales of "Joseph," "Daniel in the Lion's Den," or the rise to manhood of " The Saviour," when they are told, by zealous lips, guided by intelligence 2 Gooti, intelligent, and above all, zealously-religious teachers are all that are required to tell these and point their moral; and if a pastor's 'ministra tions do not rear enough of such teachers from his congregation, all the Conference debates in the world will not produce them. The business, therefore, of the Sunday school, is not to teach a part of our youth the ways of truth and right—to content it self, like a wayside inn, with admitting only those who apply for entrance. It is a part of Christianity, and Christianity is missionary. Pupils must be brought in— sougirt for on the highways and byways— sought wherever vice is likely to attack, or ignorance to mislead and destroy them. Bach denoruination should take particular .hild who, in the natural course of things, belongsproperly within its pale. It should be aggressive even—and seek to possess those who otherwise would grow up infidels, or worse, if " worse." can be used logically in its present connec tion. None of these facts are taken cogni zance of in the questions of the 'Sunday school convention, so that all the interest ing speeches we read Of are in fact so much wasted thought and utterance. If the question "how shall all children be reached and 'gathered into Sunday-schools," had been added, the field of discussion would have been round and complete, and sug gestions of universal practical value brought forth. Now, does any one doubt that our Sun day schools have not yet attained full use fulness ? There used to be, and there may be now for aught we know, an in fidel club which met every Sunday in this city, whose constant boast was that not only was there a large proportion of our population of the present generation non-ehureh goers, but that the already groat proportion would be far greater in the nat . . "The children," said they, "are learning liberal principles, which will op pose them to canting and superstition in all their lives." The boast of the in fidels was not empty. They knew what they said. Among the—more pros perous classes in our city; for instance, the workings of the poison are not so evi dent as in those less favorably situated. On the northern outskirts of our city on Sundays we used to see great gangs of boys pelting each other with stones, or lolling around the commons, cultivating the small vices, in full view almost of half a score of churches. These children are proper objects for the special efforts of Sunday-schools. Here is a field as yet but partially tilled; here is where an antidote can be applied to check the ra vages of the poison. How to reach these classes should be the most important ques tion of the admirer or supporter of Sunday schimls. We not only say to him " Hold fast to that which thou hest," but "add, lest thy work be incomplete." A Letter from General Geary. The following letter from General Geary has been handed us for publication, and, though not of a very recent date, we think it.of SUM cleat interest to lay before our readers : WASHINGTON CITY, D. C., August 19,1863. lely. DEAR Sin: Allow me to congratulate you upon the auspicious results of the Union Con vention, which has just closed it operations at Harrisburg The selections that body has made for Auditor and Surveyor Generals, in ' the persons of those gallant soldiers, General Hartranft and Col. Campbell, renders every where the highestsatisfaction. This generous recognition of the services and sutrerings of these officers rendered in the Reid is heartily appreciated. They are noble soldiers, educa ted citizens, and most .estimable gentlemen and 1. feel assured that the loyal citizens and - soldiers of Pennsylvania will rally round them, and give them a cord tot and unwavering support. I have to thank you, sir, personally, for the able, patriotic, and truly national declamation of principles which you made before the con vention. They will find a most cordial re sponse in the breast of every loyal Pennsylva nian. The platform of principles adopted by the COuvention merits more than a passing con sideration. From beginning to end, each and every one of the resolutions is " sound to the core," and eminently national in its character. They embody those monitions whiclithe loyal men of the North cannot disregard; they. ren der that justice which has long been. withheld ; they administer those rebukes which arepro per and fitting; they Contain the declarations of principles upon which -alone an enduring republic :can be established. The cordial endorsements of President Johnson and Secretary Stanton are just tributes to the exalted characters Of two of ills purest statesmen or the Ameri can Republic. Whatever else may be said, Andrew Johnson never can he charged with having betrayed any trust rep_osed in his hands by the loyal people Of the orth--no,not one. He can never be charged With treason to any of the great principles of American free dom upon which lie was elected. And the i,ame. of Edwin M. Stanton, which it has pleased the members of the convention in their deliberations to mention, is one that will " neverdie," for it will resist the empire of decay in those bold lines which his thin and untiring : hand has traced upon the last four tears or our bloody, thrilling, and terrible history. Time and space will not permit m 6 to express myself upon these subjects as fully and as perfectly as I otherwise would, and, therefore, this must suffice. We are approaching one of the moat import ant epochs intlaehistory thenation. klinerg in g from a state of cruel,bloody andyindictive war, we find the Union somewhat shattered, but it is triura_phantly preserved. Armed tree- UM is crushed everywhere. The work of the soldier is done. The ..dulesatan must bind up the wounds that still remain, and restore the nation renewed and dlsenthralled, with in finitely more grandeur than the original, and realize an immense harvest from the costly crop that has been sown. Among the results of which may be enumerated the perpetuation of our glorious Union, free and universal edu cation among the citizens of the itepubtic without regard to COWL PIM " ALT, NEN" shall be equal before the law, at least as far as refers to the protection of life, property and- the "pursuits of happiness," leaving the ad justment of the "right of suffrage" to the people of the several States, who should be deft "perfectly free' , to regulate and determine that question in their own way. American supremacy should be maintained upon the American continent, particularly including the enforcement of . the "Monroe doctrine" in the Republieof MONICO, Something must be clone to liberate the peo_ple of that nation from French and Austrian .imperial rule. Its toleration endangers the durability of our own form of Government. The usurpation of the . Mexican overnment is an offshoot of the rebellion. The Suppression of the latter will not be perfected until the former itself be suppressed mad a republican government replace the Imperial. The' herculean task of guiding the ship of state safely through the throes and surges of reconstruction should be given. only to our moat patriotic and most en .tent citizens, and the future of our Republic will - be more glori ous than it has ever yet neutered into the heart of man to conceive." With assurances of 'the continuation of our 10n/4...standing personal friendship, and of my best wishes for your welfare in every respect, I am, very truly, Your friend and obedient eervant, JOHN W. GEARY. The Magazines. Harpers' Magazine for October is particularly rich in engravings, having forty-two, which il lustrate the several original papers, viz: Down in the Cinnabar 'Mines, Visit to the Isle of the Puritans, Sherman's Great March, and Fighting Joe Hooker—and also " Armadale 4 ' by Wilkie Collins, and Our Mutual Friend' , by Charles dickens. There is a murder in this last related with true power, and this is in striking contrast with the charming chapter in which the home-life of Mr. and Mrs. John Itokesmith is presented. In all probability, we shall speedily have the downfall of Mr. Boffin, who, we predict, will finally be pro. vided for by having one of the famous dust mounds made over to him. The account of the production of Cinnabar, in the opening article, is full of interest. A vorypretty story is that entitled " One of my Souoiars,ii and "Oolie 19 is nearly as good. The Editor's Drawer is as full of Moats as the last edition of Joe Miller, and the lkionthly Iteeord of Cur• rent Events continues clear, reliable, and condensed. (Received from T. B. Peterson, it Brothers.) The fourteenth number of Harper's Pictorial History of the 'War brings the illustrated nar rative down to April, 1882. The size of this publication, which is that of Harper's Weekly, permite the Introduction of large engraTings. For our part, we like to havei batt-e-scenes aitd maps upon a respectable scale. When this history is completed, it will be acceptable in thousands of families throughout this nation. (Received from T. B. Peteraon & Brothers.) The most remarkable paper in the October number of the Atlantic Monthly is a French poem, called u1T081, 19 written by IL W, Long fellow, and sent to Mr. Agassiz, with a basket of wine, on last Christmas Eye. It reads so like a veritable chanson, with its pleasant re frain, that Beranger himself, we doubt not, would have been pleased with it. Of course, Air. Longfellow will put it into English verse : it would be pitiful for any mere ordinary verse-maker to attempt to translate it. There are two stories of the war here, and we would suggest, as a novelty, the issue of a single number of Mag,a without one. There is having too much of a good thing. We have here, too, a poem called "Abraham Lincoln; Oummer, liii," which fills thirteen octavo pages, and consists of between live and six hundred lines. There was no occasion for this wonderful diffuseness—particularly as "Abraham Lincoln, an Horatian Ode," by Richard henry Stoddart, has covered the whole subject in a far better manner and at one-third of the length. The conclusion. of " Needle and Garden" maintains the interest of that labor-story very well, and there is a further portion of Ik Marvers "Dr. Johns." A long criticism (a second part, too,) upon Wilhelm Meister conclusively shows that the critic, sees much more of a book than the au thor does—sometimes. A library has been written upon the hidden meaning of Shaks peare, and it Is possible that he only expressed what he Said, and meant nothing more. The conclusion of "Coupon Bonds" Le excellent—the writer is one whom we should like to meet again in print. The opening pa per, " saints who have had Bodies," is at once sensible and suggestive ; but, as a whole, this is one of the feeblest numbers of the Atlantic Monthly we have ever read. The book notices, let us say, are judicious and well written. (Re ceived by 1 B. Pugh.) Our Young Folks, issued by the publishers of the Atlantic Monthly, has matured, in its ten months' of existence, into a magatine which all ages may read with pleasure. There is scarcely a second:rate paper in the October number. Mrs. Child opens with a pleasant sketch called " Grandfather's Chestnut Tree." Lucy Larcoon gives " Gipsy Children's Song," which would be more in place if we had Gip sies here. "The Cruise of the Leopold , ' opens so well that we shall look with interest for its continuation. Mrs. Stowe, Mrs. Wells, Louise E. Chollet, Carleton and J Trowbridge also contribute, and Captain Mayne Reid, as is his wont, heaps adventure upon adventure, in his Munchau. sen-like romance of "Afloat in the Forest." There are sixteen _wood engravings in this number—well executed, from original draw ings. (Received from T. B. Pugh.) Hours at Home, edited:by J. M. Sherwood and published by Charles Scribner & Cu., New ibriiyis a new rarettnly, magazine, exactly half a year old, deVeted to religious and popu lar literature: Its Contents are mostly origi nal. Borrowed articles are honorably credited to the authors, or to the periodicals in which they first appeared. A serial tale of con siderable merit, entitled " Geoffrey, the Lol lard," is running through its pages. The lite rary articles, in the October number, unat tractive, consisting of '"lrving at Sunnyside in 1559, ,, by John Esten Cooke ; "Mrs. Lydia Sigourney," by Miss C. E. Beecher; and "The author of Annie Laurie," by Colonel J. G. Wilson. For the public information, we may mention that "Annie Laurie,. as well as that beautiful Scottish lyric, " The Land of the Leal," was written by Caroline Oliphant, a native of Perthshire, in Scotland, who became Baroness Nairn by marriage, and died in 1E45, at the age of seventy-nine. It is singular, also, that Auld Robin Gray," an other ballad of humble Scottish life, should have been written by another titled lady. The lipening paper here, on "England and Ame rica" contains some home-truths which we trust will be reprinted abroad; and eoncludes with an account of the reason why " the cold shoulder" was given, during the recent ses sions of the Congregational National Council at Boston, to the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, one of the delegates from the Congregationalists of Eng land and Wales, who, as Editor of the British Quarterly _Revlon', had been violently and per sistently inimical to the Union cause during the four years of the war. With the exception of Dr. Guthrie, and he only during the last year, scarcely any clergyman of the Presby terian churches of Scotland gave a good word to the bold soldiers and good men who have been struggling to break down the curse of Slavery in this country , . (Received/rein TB. Pugh.) In the October number of CodeYs Lady's Book we find, as froritispiece, a remarkably fine engraving representing five of the seven of Raphael's Cartoons, the property of the Bri tish .nation, and justly estimated for their high value among the world's art treasures. The Cartoons here represented, in a miniature size, but with a delicacy of detail which the utmost skill of the graver has rarely at tained, are The Death of Ananias ; Paul Preaching at Athens ; Sacrifice at By - atm). St. Peter Healing the Lame Man; and Elymas struck -with Blindness. We can assure Godey's InhltitUdinOuS readers that, in this illustra tion, they have one of the best-executed en gravings ever given with a periodicai in any country. (Received from L. A. Godey.) Peterson's Ladies' NatiOnal Magazine has thirty articles, one-half of which are purely literary, and nearly half a hundred engravings. The frpntispiece, "The-Little Street-Sweeper," drawn by 11. Staegg, engraved by Iliman Brothers, is one of the best that has appeared in this magazine for some time.

The following official report has been pub lished Warr Tons, Sept. 26, Sin : In obedience to your order of the 26th of July, for the competitive trials of the ma chinery of the Winooski and Algonquin, to test the relative economy of fuel and power, we would state that the trial commenced on Friday', the 22d inst., and we respectfully make the following report : Though not required by your letter of in structions to report upon the trials until the completion of the same, we bellevy it will be of interest to the Department to know at this time the result of the first trial, which com menced fos the purpose ofaseetiainhig the relative economy of fuel. The trial was commeileedAiecording to the 3 gr g m V oft gt ard oPllneqre fires were srrda3:l/.r. ofthe Experts. inst., were hauled at 4 P. M., and again started for the regular trial of 96 hours, and continued until brought to an abrupt termination by the bursting of the Algonquin's boiler feed-pipe, and the drawing of the fires from the boilers. When the accident occurred, the experiment had lasted hi hours and 43 ininutes—the whole duration was to have been 96 hours. - - . Owing to the accident, we cannot give the results ascertained exactly in the manner re commended by the Board of Experts, but we baii give the results as ascertained, in the manner directed by your original order, and which we believe to be accurate. In that order we were directed to run the engine several hours, tO bring the fires into steady action and the machinery into proper working condition. We were then to com mence the trial, noting the state of the fires. At the end of the trial we were to have the fires, steam-pressnre, water-level, etc., the same as at the commencement, At the time of the bursting of the Algon quin's pipe, the fires in the boilers of both ves sels were in good condition, and the steam pressure and water-level about the same as at the commencement. We Consider that at 8 o'clock P. Di, of the.s2(l inst., the engines of both vessels baying been run about three hours from the commence ment of the trial, the fires were in steady ac tion and the machinery in proper working condition. From this time to 11 P. M. of the 24th inst., a few minutes previous to the breaking doWn of the Algonquin% engine, is fifty-one hours, the mean results of which are as follows, namely : Wigki. Total time of trial in hours.... 51 51 Total No. of revolutions of wheels... 45,149 44,918 Total No. of pounds of anthracite.... 80,400 79,230 Average No. of revolutions per min. 14,754.6 14,679.1 Average No. of lbs. of coal per h0ur..1,576.5 1,553.7 Average pressure of steam In boilers. 16.8 70.79 Average point of cutting off 0.475 0.111 According to the above figures, obtained from the log, which was accurately kept on both vessels, the economical performance of the machinery of each was equal. At the time of the failing of the machinery Of the Algonquin., the wale" , in her boilers had reached a density which required "blowing off," and, for the remainder of the trial, she would have been subjected to a considerable loss of fuel on this account. The Winooski easily runs the whole 9i hours without a necessity Of this character. 'The machinery of the Winooski worked through out in the most satisfactory manner, showing it to be durable and trustworth. Its arrangement is the SiMpleSt and most convenient possible, and its economy of fuel equal to that given by the very complex de sign of the machinery of the Algonquin.

GIDEON WELLS, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C. Colonel J. W. Shaffer recently delivered an address at Freeport, Illinois, in which he said of General Patrick : was in Virginia about the time of the °leet tion, and visited Richmond. Halleck was in command of the military, and I found that rebels, under the rule, were infinitely better off than loyal men. General Patrick was pro vost marshal, and, as a sample of, his fitness for the place, I will state what one of General Ord's staff officers told me. , The officer said: General Patrick, as provost marshal, had the control of all troDerty seized t and, as several of General Ord's staff officers were without quarters, two of them called upon General Patrick, and asked to have the house of the notorious rebel General Winder turned over to them. They had no doubt of getting it, as this Winder was the brutal officer that ordered all the outrages inflicted upon our prisoners at Andersonville; exceeding in brutality and devilish fiendishness anythin in history. The 'Black Hole of Calcutta,' the brutal treatment the English gave the Sepoy prisoners in the war in India, and the 'Massacre of Wyoming,' were outdone by Winder, in his deliberate slow torture to death of our country's brave detention in his charge. I suppose no more nendish rute than Winder could be found outside or inside of hell.

STEPHENS.—A Columbus, Georgia, paper says "We have permission to make extracts of a letter from A. IL Stephens to a gentleman of this city. The letter is dated Fort Warren, - 130 = 4- ...L-rturbor...biass., August 31,1865. In his letter Dlr. Stephens * * * "I am now in iiindli - tmt.teirifeltltli than when I wrote to you.

" I see by the papers of this morning that my brother, Linton Stephens, left - Washington yes , terday for this place to see Me. It is also re ported that I shall probably be released on pa- role, This is cheering news to me. If the hopes founded on it prove to be not ilingary hope soon to be at home again, and at no dis taut day to see you. . - " Please remember me to - and all in quiring friends. The list would be too long forme to undertake to enumerate the names of all that I have thought a great deal about since I have been here, in and about Columbus. "Tours truly, " ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS." THE RUM PRICE OF Bursa.—The people of Philadelphia are subject to as gross extortion as we are here by the farmers and hucksters. One of the papers informs us that on Saturday last there were several persons, supposed to be human beings, and wearing clothlug of the present styles, who had the hardihood to ask one dollar, and as much as one dollar and twenty.llve cents per pound, for butter. To this swindling demand some persons submit ted, but there were many who could well have afforded it who refused to be cheated' by_ an infamous attempt at extortion. These prices exceed the highest demanded during the war, whet, the high price of gold was the excuse. There is not the same cause now, and yet the prices demanded are higher than were asked at the most extravagant period. There is; no dcod cause for this increase in prices, in rought, destruction of crops, or any other cause. It is simply the result of 'combination, and a want of conscience onthe part of coun try people, but more particularly of the huck sters. There is but one remedy that we know of, and that we advise in these words—don't buy it.—Piitsburg Gazette. Too Lars.—Co]. Davis, the Democratic can didate fors Auditor General, denies that he is responsible for the verj scandalous articles In l is own paper, the Doylestown Denioeraf i in the dark days of Mit The denial comes too late. Col. Davis was mustered out of service nearly a year ago, and has never put in this denial until now. The silence of a year speaks more loudly in approval Of those articles than this denial does against themigiven only after he has become a candidate. If he had never been nominated the denial - never would have been made.—Pittaburg Gaze(k. • . CAMPAIGN IN NEW ..1 - Easnr.—A letter re ceived from Marcus L.
