ceived aletter fromCanjpPattcraon/par^ I** 1 **
dng to come from him, and naming soveral 2U-";
legheny boys who are known to he in the army
of thePotomae. On Monday last, the hearts
of the family were gladdened by the return of
..the long-absent son and /brother, who. came
suddenly.upon them, kissed his mother, hug
• ged her most affectionately, and almost shook
the hand off the. delighted father. - H*r*lso
hunted op his two brothers, extended Jo them
a'eordlai greeting, and*, received a warm wel
come. ' ~;-r ’ ’ ’V-
So far so good.? Bat, stnnge as it may ap
pear, after the' flash of excitement subsided,
the brothers began to suspect that, the/new
cbmte was an impostor. He did hot teemlik*
their brother William, and he did hoi-act like
• him, bat they hesitated to make known their
' suspicions. The mother and' father did not
seem to doubt at. firsts and the best the boost
could afford was placed at his disposal*./As
time wore on, however, they, all became eon
' vineed that the stranger was an impostor, and
told him so. Ayoung lady, whom William
; had attended in the capacity of a suitor pre
vious to his called to see him and
pronounoed him a “humbug*'—-and she ought
to kntnr. The soldier,however, declared that
he. was William Showers, and refused to leave
the house. He claimed, to-have aland war?
rant, forone-fausdredand sixty. aores;of land,
in favor of Wo. Showers, and tried to laugh
them out of their opposition to him, but all to
: nanurpore;/• T";* *T'
. Last evening, one of the brothers' appeared
: before Mayor Dumb* and asked for the arrest
or the pretended William Bhowers.as • they
.. ; were determined he should- leave' the heuie.
1 He was accordingly taken Into custody, and
- catcohised at considerable . length. He ad
quitted that he had been stopping at Newell’*
tavern, and hie carpet sack was found there!
He gave his name there us. Fisher, .and from
- ths. oontntdietery stories told by him it is
filear thsit he is a-rank impoitor;~~He was
locked up in the tombs, and took hisdll usage
qultephUos optically. ■*
ThebrothcTrare thoroughly satisfied that

strange as it may seem, the mother and father
still him# some doubts on the subjec£-tb* old-
Udy being quite undecided as to the propriety
of thf court® pursued towardsthe young man.
This it altogether a siogularease.

Hon* Edward Everett’B Lecture.
It may .be almost unnecessary to direct the
attention of our readers to the announcement,
which appears elsewhere in oar columns, of
‘ Mr. fivurri’s Address on tb*-“OBiGis asp
Character or tut Was,” to be delivered at
.Concert Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 2lst
instant. Ho doubt a great many in this city
and neighborhood have already made arrange
ments to be there. Who, indeed, would will
ingly neglect the opportunity of hearing the
scholar and orator of world-wide fame, when,
through the praiseworthy efforts and enter
prise of our Library Association, be comes
amongst us te deliver a soul-stirring address
on the great subject which now absorbs the
attention: of the-whole American people—a
subjeot Involving, not only alMheir present
interests, but all their future' honor and hap
piness; whatsoever the Destinies have reserved
tor them among the nations of the earth. We
do not doubt, then, that the tame eloquent
• -periods which so lately have stirred to enthu
siasm the.titouiandt oflisteners whothreng
•4 tbe .kaUs of Boston and Hew’York, will fall
with equal power effect upon our thousands
of apprecUtive hearers, in Concert Hall, next
Tncsday evtning.r As the.engagement of Mr.
Bverett with the Library Committee oxteuds
only to one eveningand one lectnre,(as we are
informed) it is hardly probable that a like op-
of bearing .“the most polished ora
tor of his time/Vviuagain:present itself
our elticens for years tocome.
/ By the advertisement we see that, the sale
of‘tibkots will oommenoe to-morrow (Satur
day) at the of Penn and St.
* Olair streets,- where-wo adyise an early appli
cation to be mad# by those who art'particular
about securing the nest seats. So feral hear
ing. Mr. Everett will suffice, however, hie
clarion tones will make eTerjr'wdrd distinct to
the farthest comer of Concert Hall—that is,
if bil: voice Is how as powerful as it was when
we last heard him, ihret years ago.

deniieni of tbo suburban villages with an “ac

‘Jfmr#.’ Editort: My short article of
Wednesday morning has attraeted the atten
tion of Mr. K, who furnishes an article in
yourpaperof yesterday, the precise object of
which I am unablo to define. ' He controverts
none of my facts. He styles my article a
“cbTerjattaek" on the Pastor, while there
was nothing covert about it. I claim no mer
it for my former communication, ‘qther than
aa.honestclaim.to openness, plainness and
pointedness. Mr. K. tells us he has. been to
' Washington, but falls to say whether he vis
ited that .city in pursuit.of some fat contract.
r lfhls visit was prompted by suehpatriotio
,(?)/motives,-he evidently failed in his /object,
#s he Informs us that he came sad
ness I" He thinks I injured my friend in tho
Cabinet, by giving a public denial to e-public
charge; and then renew* the charge, but says
il is a Timor J . I have no personal acquaint
ance with any memberof the Cabinet, but I
entertain sincere admiration fer the man who
could and .did stand up, single handed, and
give battle for the right; in.the
conflict," and for the eamo reason, friend K.
It appears,'is disposed to circulate rumor* to
blast his character, and yet heappears to fear
my public denial of them will injure him. But
enough of this. I w&ntne controversy. If
tho gentleman, or his friends, can show that I
have done him injustice, I will retract What
I have written, but not iecause Ac u a Minu
ter, as I see no reason'wby Ac should not be
as amenable to pnbllo opinion and the laws
-as any member of his congregation. J.

FRO3I YESTERDAY'S EYESRG GAZBTTE.
Arrest of a Notorion* Pick-Pocket.
For some weeks 'pret our city has been
cursed with the presence of that bold and ex
pert pick-pocket—Washington Freeze. His
operations here have been numerous and
daring, and Mayor Wilson has been using
every effort in his power tohave him arrested.
On Hew Year's, Freeie robbed a railroad con
ductor bamed Richard Gilston, of Wooster,
Ohio, of a silver watch and twenty dbll&rs in
mouey,at an exhibition at Trimble's Varieties.
An information was made soon after, but it
was not until yesterday that Freese fell under
the eyes of the police., He was arrested by
officer Richardson, but while on the way to
the lock-up be broke loose and escaped. Ia
the evening he was again taken in custody by
the same offioer, and when within a few steps
of the Mayor's office he again escaped.. in
justice to tiie officer, however, we must state
that be was very unwell, and quite too weak
to handle so slippery a customer. His
anxiety to arrest tne offender induced him to
undertake a task which he was unable to ac
complish. “Tbo spirit was willing, but the
flesh was weak.” ...
Mayor Wilson thon detailed officers Cum
berland Moon, with instructions toapprebend
Freeze, if such a ihing was possible. These
officers visited nearly all tho “vile haunts"' in
thenity, and were about giving up in des
pair, when success crowned their efforts. It
was known that Freeze had a paramour, to
whom be always fled in time of danger, but
the difficulty was to find her lodging place.
At six o’clock they visited the house of Tilly
Clark, on Grant street, and were admitted to
tbo-hall. They were refused access to the
rooms in-the house, and. at once suspocted
they were, on the right tr&ok. They forood
open the door, however, and there discovered
Mr. Freeie comfortably quartered with his
mistress. He was soon after transferred to a
cell in the lock-up, and was this morning
committed to jail by Mayor Wilson, to answer
at Court. He also stands charged with the
larceny of a pocket book containing seventy
five dollars, and two railroad! tickets, taken
from a stranger at the depot. The informa
tion was made by officer Fox, before Aider
man Owstos. and a commitment has been
lodged agaimt the accused.-
Wash. Freese is ono of the most dangerous
men in the country—a traveling pirate—gen
teel in dress and appearance, cool in his man
ners, and so plausible as to deceive the best
judges of btunan nature.' He has Veen fre
quently under-arrest, was sentenced to a short
term in the penitentiary some few years ago,
and since bin discharge has. been traveling
abroad. At Cincinnati his equally expert ac
complices?' Johnny* Bird;'Enoch Howell and
“Sniba" Arnold, were, aribsted last summer,
and sent to the Columbus penitentiary for five
years each, for robbery. Freese was a party
to tbe crime, but escaped, and next turned up
in Washington 'city jail, where he was finally
Released. He then came back to his old
“stamping-ground," and how many of the
late robberies here may be attributable to him
can only be guessed at from his character. It
is said that sufficient evidence can be adduced
against him to ensure his conviction of there
charges, and thifhe cannot escape thepeni
tentiary. We congratulate Mayor Wilson
and the community upon the arrest of this
arrant knavo.
Oar Book Table.
The Historical Maoazini, akd Kotes akd
Queries. —Thereare readers, even of thiagbn
oration, who will gladly retire from an over
crowded and too-exacting present, into tho
quiet unexplored nooks and corners of the
past, when men 'lived, moved and had their
being,’ with leu bustle, less change, and more
deliberation altogether; than in there “latter
days" in which our lot is cast. To all .such
readers wo commend Ho. 1, of Vol.fi, of tho
Historical Maqazisb— in which, and tbe
numbers to follow, they will find many curi
ous and (to the fit few) interesting relics of
othor years and the men who lived in them.

The CosTnttxTAL Monthly tor Fesruary.
—The second number of this new monthly,
“devoted to literature and national polioy,"
is on our tabic. We noticed the first number
favorably, as it deserved, for several articles
vigorously written and for a promising gen
eral course or policy ably indicated. The
February number, now before tu/is decidedly
superior in almost every respect, even to its
predeeossor, whose cxcellenco made such
promise of its future career. Among tbe
names of the contributors to the February
number we fiud the following: Ex-Governor
Boutwell, Hon. Horace Greeley, Hon. George
P. Disosway, A. Oakley Hall, Richard U.
Kimball, Henry T. Tuekerman, Frederick W.
Shelton, The Author of “Tho Cotton States,"
J. Warren Newcomb, Jr., Henry P. Loland,
Mbs Charles G. Lelaad. The
continuation of “Among the Pines" will be
found highly interesting in its vivid life-like
delineations of experiences “down South."

dently a planter, with black hair and-eyes,
and very handsome, was cut clear in two.
Two otben were fonnd dead, terribly-torn,
lying beside the former. A gold watch was
taken from his person.
The 89th N. i., and Bth Miobigan; regi
ments stormed a masked battery on Wednes
day. Union loss 1 killed and 4 wounded;
secesh loss unknown. One poor follow was
found hero, and eared, for by us, whose bowels
had been entirely ’carried away by a shell.
- He, notwithstanding, lived two days.
Some idea may.be given of the value of the
contrabands to us by this affair. A small
negro-hoy; 15 years .old, eared the two regi
ments from being cut to pieces, by telling the
Colonel go down the road they started
on, but to take the one whloh'he pointed.ont.
There was a masked battery in the chaparral.
On Thursday morning our forces withdrew
-to this.side again imrfer a storm of shell.from
the boats. The woods were torn for three
-miles around. - The rush of niras the heavy
balls went over our heads caused little .incli
nation to “joke" among the boys. Some
came down very near qur front, so danger
ously near, that CaptainTempleten picked up
a piece of ‘one bursting about 50 feet on.
Capt. Rogers, of ihe JSavy, from the mast
head saw a whole oompany, who wore in bat
tle-line, go down, every one, after the burst
ing of an eleven-inoh shell. The negroes say
only three of them escaped.
Company A, ef tho Roundheads, (Washing
ton oounty, Pa., company,) is now stretched
along the shore for aig miles as pickets. . This
will bo our duty fob the next three weeks,
prqbably, being relieved each twenty-four
hours. When off datyw.e quarter At the large

sneak down to the other side, and seeing tho
windows lighted, plump in a shell.
Sir. James Lowry, of Middletown, Wash-

WxsmsoTox, Jan. 16.—Afterthe inoat

there is any truth in the current report* rela
tive to additional ahanges in the Cabinet

quently ran the blockade without being greet*.

The Commissioner of Patents has issoed n
circular, In which he says: the cultivation of
cotton in the free States is beginning to at
tract general attention. Toj prevent failures
in it* cultivation, it is‘proper to remark, that
it is a in vegetable j physiology that
tropical plants can never be aco lima ted north
except by a repeated redaction of-new varie
#tios non the seed., The attempt to acclimate
‘the,Sea Island cotton, such; as ia now being
bronghtlfrom Hilton Head, would prove a
failure in any portion of the flreo States. The
'only variety that is capable of-iuccessful cul
tivation in these sections now seeking its in
troduotiohj is the green seed cotton, such as is
now bring raised, extensively in Arkiatas,
Missouri, Tennessee and portions of Ken-*
tucky, and which producesthe white fibre. The
seed should be obtained from these localities..
The modifications of ,: soi! and climate will
influence the size of- the plant, the length and
fineness of the* fibre , and the produet of the
crop, but no reasonable doubt is entertained
of the -success of the culture in all the mild
portions qf the Middle States, and efforts ere
now bring made io procure the proper seed for
. distribution. The Commissioner further says
that the results of the cultivation of Sorghn
the- present ybar, settles the question of its
entire practical success, and that 'one of the
difficulties presenting itself is the: want of
pure seotk .To meet this Want, this division
nas ordered seed from Franco for distribution
in the ensuing, spring. "Jltmast be berne in
mind, however, that; the ‘same; causes; which
have produced deterioration hen exists there,
and well grounded apprehensions are enter
tained that the seed-thus imported may not be
free from suspicion. Fartners'Who axe in ter
ested, should secure pure seed .'from among
themselves when it is possible,.** the season
is so Car advanoed that alreot importation from
Africa or China would be impracticable.
