The "London American. 1 lake from re remarkably well written letter of the lion. Thomas Williams to a gentleman in London, and published in the London American. It is so justly com plimentary to the Secretary of War, that I have taken the trouble to copy the same, for your paper. The introduction to this letter by the editor of' that paper, with the remarks thereon, is very flattering to your very able member. "It rejoices me now 'o be enabled to say to you that the clouds have lifted fromus at last, and the icy ter p.or which has so longbenumbed our limbs,' has given way Under the quickening influ ence imparted .to our , affairs by the new "War Minister," of whoic advent you are, already advised. From the moment than Stanton took the helm, the whole as - pect of affairs has changed—the country has breathed freely—the popular heart has been again elated—treason has hidden its head in terror, and our arms have gone 'forth conquering and to conquer. The ti dings which every line of telegraph is now hurrying to our 'ears, already assure us that the serpent of rebellion is scotched at last. and that before the next steamer shall cross and re-cross the ocean, the stars and stripes will be floating once more overall the territories of the Union." The appropriation bill was referred to a Committee olConference—this will take a few days to patch irp ere it is reported; that is, should the Committee agree. The appropriation bill was up and undue consideration, the whole of the afternoon was spent in loud.declamation. . Mr. Cess na made a lengthly• speech in favor of t bill reported by that gentleman. .llr. Armstrong replied in a costic speech and others took a pitch in, and the afternoon was flittered away. in 'fruitless bly.ther,, amounting to "nix.' The House•is holding night session to dispose of the bill left over 'from Tuesday in the private calendari;every.thingis hur ry with no little contusion. This moment your talented member who sees a bond in every question thatames, is new address , ing the House in regard -to a claim of some patriot., ,at all events the bill passes, and Thos. took his seat looking disgusted at. such proceedings,' for every hair on that gentleman's head bristles - a "Rail road bond." . .

THE CHASE OF THE BLOODHOUNDS From Beaten Patios; and Those Who Trod Thom RI" THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN [Continued from Yesterday.] We all had a fair start and a large ma jority went cleverly over. The Squire's horse seemed to go on invisible wings, so beautifully did the rider lift him through the air. I turned round rnv head and salt two of our party splashing in the water. Who' were they ? What matter ? " Hark forward !" and away we went into a rather thick copse on the right. "Heav ens!" cried some one, "should the poor fellow have stumbled and • fallen in the tangled cover." A frightful chance, for he would have surely been torn to pieces before any of us could have come close up with the Blood-hounds. But we struggled - through, the dogs - invisible in the brush wood: but theinmisie leadingus on. While they doubled and seemed battled in the in tricate covert, Godroon had gallantly worked his way through it, gaining time by malty turns, like a close-pressed hare. and we all gave a shout of joy and ' en couragement as weinarked him through an opening at an easy canter on the rising ground leading up towards the rath. He cut some frolicsome capers, looked quite fresh and at ease with himself, like a I mall who had done his work well : and he! quietly stepped on towards the path, where he paused. looked round him, and then deliberately climbed iron a tree, pre- I pared to survey and enjoy the progress ofl the hunt. and the proceedings of the hunts men. *He's all right." •• ::fife and sound, — " Thillik Cflir!" t ool oth er ex t .', :nations of satisfaction broke /I , in-fever:it 1 RS we got well fiat of the thicket nail gal loped on after the dogs, now lying desper ately close on the scent again, and running like the wind. I and all the rest had our eyes fixed while we rode on, as the blood red figure of Godroon straddle-legged on the branch which moved flexibly up' and down at his metion, and seemed to keep tint., with the chorus of the pack. Sud denly we were chocked On seeing the bratielLsnap and break right across be tween the trunk of the tree and liodroon. and down hu fell to :he „around and rolled Ii Illy n.-,'r the other side of the rail]. be ing instantly lost to our view.

'flier, like sailors steeling by the needle, had til.• tillerrilig Set•ld. of their unseen victim on grass and bramble, weed a n d shrub. and onward they went. always in deep, full cry. And on we pushed with whip turd sour, at our horses' utmost I speed. to gain the top ,if the nab and cross it in good time, if possible, to save the poor fellow before his savage pursuers f•ould consummate hi; Ili:Wahl-lost apparent down. The dogs were first onthesummit ; and still yelling in fearful harmony they seemed to drop over in a compact mimes to the far off side of the mound before we could gain the top. What a terrilvle few minutes of suspense it was, and with what dread we strained our eyes forward when we got fairly , to the top, expecting to see the blood-h o unds tearing the mangled body of what we now felt to be our victim, as well as that of the ferocious beasts. Great and indescribable was our joy—l am sure we all felt alike—to mark the crimson fu gitive bounding along still some hundreds of yards in advance ; but every action showed that lie was now running for his life with almost superhuman speed. To the right and left and before him there way not a vestige of shelter to be seen, a bleak common eovered with light ' grass, hero and there a tuft of rank her bage. and large blocks of stone as ifthrown at random about—such was the dreary and de.spairingprospect. Poor Godroon scented to feel the horror of his situation, for his head was frequently turned back. to measure no doubt the decreasing dis tance between hint and us. He was going straight in the direction of Slievenamora —the only object rising from the wide spread plain, and offering the only chance of escape, could . he hold his breath and keep up the rapid pace for a mile or more further. The horses scrambled with great difficulty through the scattered blocks and over the many crevices which now broke the ground. There were two or three heavy falls of beasts and men. The dogs gained on us every moment. We did our best to keep steady hands and hold our horses well up ; and "the field" bow reduced to seven, formed a gloomy contrast in their silent anxiety to the bounding elasticity of spirit with which Men follow hounds who are hunt ing natural game. A couple of hares sprang . up . before the dogs. We hoped this might have turned them aside, chang ing the scent. They never seemed to heed them more than A. well bred setter would heed a lark,: with a pack of grouse ore running - conveyy , of partridges before him. Our dogs required• a. higher flavor. Blood,.blood•wasOteii only. instinct. At last Godroon was iiiitigthe rugged base of the mountain, the dogs closing fist on him. and we in utter despair ,o 1 pushing our horses up'through the crags in any thingi4ke timetti.drive them oft. He'll do it ! The Witch's tree will save him!" said the Squire to Heekvan, in a confi dent tone. 'How will the . crayture ever climb the trunkwi*lit a screed of bark on it ?" asked the huntsman, with a gloomy look. "Hell 'scramble up somehow-- life is • sweet,: and -strength and activity can do omythiue' replied the Squire. as we still worked our way. [To bo continued.] MILLINERY GOODS .1 AT WIIOLESA.M.E.
