"Here's a letter for you th.ztthe post buy just brought, Miss Moi•ris." "A letter for me 1" repeated Helen Morris, in surprise, taking it from the servant's hand. "Who can have written to me ?"

At this moment a . note was brought in by a boy: There was no postmark. Ev idently he was a special messenger. It was opened at once by Mr. Wilbur, to whom it was directed.

Eurron, :--1 have experienced many heavy reverses recently, in a pecu niary pont of view : in fact, I have been reached to a monetary skeleton. I at• tribute this calamity to a runious extruv agence which has fastened itself upon me within a few inwiths, but from which I am gradually releasing myself. I spend very little money at present, because my acquaintance.; will not give me an oppor tunity ; they refused to lend as freely as they did formerly It became apparent to my mind a day or two ago, that something must be done. It was evident that I would have to cap ture soinething or souuthody, make strike, raise the wind by any means pos. sible —the means I must have Panting under a strong determination to accept nu position that was not lucrative, I declined a clerkship in a take-your-ohoice-tar-one dollar jewelry establishment, and the Presidency of a Pup bottle Purchasing Or ganization 1 also had an opportunity 01. being President of an insurance company. I refused to accept the position, nut be cause it was not suffiuiently lucrative but because I had too much conscience, and too much respect for my character. Finally, I concluded the best thing I could do—the only thing I could—was to open business on my own account; arid I soon afterward ascu•tuined that the only business w: ieh could be conducted safely without capital, was banking. I resolved to become a bunker: 1 became - a banker proclaimed. loudly to all my friends, wherever 1. wet them that I was engaged in banking, and fully convinced theta 1 was a banker, and believing I had eon vincey everybody else that kwas a, bank er, 1 thought I should have no difficulty in obtaining a loan. I promenaded jaLthe-streets - nelehritta for-their - ULM - king houses, watching the windows to see in which was dieplayed the most lucre, believing that he who was most opulent would bo most liberal. At length I sauntered down into• a basement, (the first / time I was ever in a basement in my lift) where there was money.of all sorts, from rho little honioepathie .postal currency up the ootoroonlfifty dollar gold ptecel and it was piled, up in 'all sorts of shapes, in pyramids. and obelisks,- and asteroids, and everything of that sort,— was so much excited mid embarrassed when I went. in,.that from force of habit, I inquired for the , barkeeper. . fwThe banker, you mean ?" said a good Junking young wan, affectionately. "Ctirtainly," I. replied, recollecting myself; "I sup posed you, would know what .I meant. that is the latest Wail street jeke.". At the mention of Wall street,- the young man flew around, lively, and- brought out the banker in less than no time. 11 IrrL3 4 3 W hat 1" I exclaimed, glancing at hsm hurriedly, "this—no—why—upon my soul if I was not sure he was not in the city, I would take you for General Mc- Clellan. That moustache, that brow, that Sata—l meat Napoleonic air, so like that of a minionaire, are you 'related to Mo- Clellan ?" "I have never been officially informed of such a thing," replied the banker cool ly, and f saw that a draft flattery would never be cashed at his counter. "Mr. Boyd," said I, (I raw his name on a bank book.) "I want to negotiate a loan." He took me into a private room, away from everybody, and when t asked him what he did it fur, he said he sup posed us I had, stated, that I wanted to negotiate alone. "Look hero," said I firmly, "my im pression is that pt.( are sick-sided block ut burnt substance, composed of clay, lime and sand; in vulgar parlance you are a brick. I want to borrow some money " "Ah r he exclaimed good naturadly," now I comprehend you—long time or short time ?" "Any time,.'? said I, interrupting him; "don't hurry ; I can wait till you have dune talking." This matter requires that I should be a little circumspect; there is a crisis ap proachingt----greut-fluetuarions itrintniretary affairs, and stocks are wild. Outsiders are taking flyers all over the country, the bulls are operating strongly fur an ad vance, and corner parties are sel ling to the shorts at very high rates." "flew !" "Thunder and lightning" -- was tire - first phrase I thought of, but I didn't say that I never was overpowered by a broker's slang before. It was neces sary for me to go back at him in the same sort of language to convingc hina . that - bilSilleSS - mud, and therefore re sponsible. -Arnatock in trade (young la dies will ple-ise not misconstrue these words and think I am iu the stocking trade) of appropriate phrase was very . "Cully," said I, "come and see me with a-tistfull - of -- titi. Never wind the hightlyers, and let the corner parties and euchre parties, sell 'till they can't rest.- BIteII out I Cover my call with thelpon dulniks, or walk off on your ear." "Here," said the banker to his clerks, and forthwith they came marching in, in a solid column, four deep. I thought I was about to get a bushel of money and he' all his employers to count tny error, when ho said to "Mrs -led q e remenstmen "Teller," said he, speaking to the turn 410 St "Don't tell her till you get ready," said L with an air of autholity. I was in censed. I offered to the opulant and wiled young banker, by good, reliable, a ble-bodied parties, subject to the draft, that I was not of the species of the ani mal creation that he had intimated, and told him if he had all the bankers and brokers in the city under his thumb, and ruled the market, he couldn't rule me.— The argum .nt fell dead upon his ear, and peculiar circumstances induced the to le tire peaceably. went to t!,% 4 viltanstall's. Saltonstall is a stock broker. Atter little con vetimiion with him, he asked rue if 1 wanted to take some stook. I told him fur the sake of tioeiability I would take a glass of stock ale with him, though I was not in the habit of partaking of tonic beverages. I think there was some misunderstanding, for he served a writ of ejectment on me so quick that I have always taken peculiar pains, since then, when passing his hank, to keep as fur away from the door as pos sible. Greenebauin is a gay banker. I went t o him confidenti.dly and told him I wan ted to open a bank in the city, and would like to know the best mode of •itting it. lie said there were two ways of opening a bank; 1 might do it with a crowbar, but if the bolts were very - strong I would have to use gun-powder. 1 loft him precipitately, assuring him as I went that he had better put on a double watch a round his premises that night. On the street I. noticed there Was a great sensation among bankers as I passed. Smite of them had seen we come out of Jim Boyd's office and they had it ru mored till over the town that 1 was one of his brokers They all shunned me; everybody, .yeas afraid of me; thought I was going to wake a run on them, collide witlctlieni and smash their institutions I felt that I ought to go back and chas tiso. the men who got we into such a scrape by piling so much gold iu his win dow that it induced me to go into his bank, but when 1 remembered the procession of strong armed clerks, I thought that 1 .ought not to dolt. " Young man," said he, knowingly ; "it Aakes-soluething - to - starra - bink." — " Al - right I" I " I can start a dozen, for I take sontething every hour in the day." I started out resolved to take something and start a bank. ,I felt jubi lant. • As I retired I heard a man say I was one of Jim Boyd's brokers. 1 told him if - be would come out I would mea sure his length on the sidewalk.

I invited him to go and take a bank and start something with me.

Sherman HEADQUARTER. , DKPABTbIIINT OF TU }. rESSESSEII VICKSBURG. J.lO 31. 1864. Major It M. SAWYER. Assist lot Adjutant Gen eral, Army ej . the Tenness,e. Huntsville: DEAR SAWYER: Io my former letter I have answered ail your questions, save one, and that relates to the treatment of inhabitants known or suspected to be hos its or ..t.ecesh." This is in truth the most difficult business of our army, as it advances and occupies the &mitten." country. It is almost impossible to lay down rules, and I invariably leave this whole subject to the local commanders, but am wilting to give them the benefit of my no q lived knowledge and experience. In Europe. whence we derive our principles of war, as developed by their histories. wars are between kings or rulers, through hired armies, and not between peoples. These re main, as it were, neutral and sell their pro duce to whatever army is in possession. Napoleon. when at war with Prussia, Aug Iris, and Russia, bought forage and provis ions of the inhabitants, and coolie:lowly had an interest to protect farms and factories which ministered to his wants. In like man ner, the allied armies in France could buy of the French inhabitants whatever they needed, the produce of the soil or manufactures of the country. Therefore, the rule was and is. that wars are confined to the armies, and should not visit the homes of families or private in termite But in other examples a different rule ob tained the sanction of historical authority I will only Instance that. when in the reign of Witham and Mary the English army occupied Ireland, then in a state of revolt. the inhahi tants were not wily driven into foreign lands. and were dtapossessed of their property, and a new population introduced. To this day a Large part of the north of Ireland is held by the decentlauts of be Sowell emigrants sent there by Williatn'e order and an act of Parlia ment. The war which now prevails in our land is essentiallywar.otraoss, -.The Southern peo- Pre entered into a clear campaot of Govern• went. but still maintained a species of sepa rate interests, history, and prejudices. These latter became stronger and stronger, till they have led to a war, which has developed fruits of the bitterest kind. We of the N• rib are, beyond all question, right in our lawful cause, but .we are not bound to ignore the fact that the people of the South have prejudices. which form a part of their nature. and width they cannot throw off without an effort, of reason or the slower pro cess of natural chance. 'Now, the question arises„'sheuht we'treat . as absolute _enemies all in the South, who differ ft:in us in opin ion 'or prejudice, kill Or banish them; or, should we give them time to think, and gra4, Juilly change their conduct so as to conform to the new order of things, whioh is slowly and gradually creeping into their country When men take arms to resist our rightful authority, we are compelled to use Wile; be cause all reason and argument fail when arias are resorted to. Whentheprovisious, hOrses„ mutes. wagons, so., are used by the enemy, it is clearly our duty and right to take them, because otherwise they might be used against us. -In mice manner. all houses left vacant, by an inimical people are clearly our right., or such as are needed as storehouses, bospitele and quartets. But a question , ariseaaa dwellings used by women, children, end combatants. So long as non•oombatands re* main in their homes and keep to their ac customed business, their opinions and pre judices in no wise litflance the war,- and therefore should not be noticed,. 1W if any one comes out into the public streets and creates disorder, he or Ace should be punistli ed,- restrained or bac Med, either to the rest or front, as the officer in command adjudges, If the people, or any of them, keep up a (tor respandenotd.with parties in hostility, they are spies, and can be punished with death, or minor punishment. Ihese are well established principles of war i and the people of the South having appealed to war are barred from appealing to our Pon stitution, which they have practioilly and publicly defied. They have appealed to war, and must abide its rulei and laws. The United States, as a belligerent party claiming right in the eoil as the ultimate sovereign, have a right to change the population, and it may be and is both politic and just, we should do so in certain districts. When the inhabi tants persist too long in hostility, it may be both politic, and right we should banish theui and appropriate their lands to a more loyal and useful - population. No man will deny, that the United States would be benefited by dispossessing a single, prejudiced, hard, heed= ed and disloyal planter, and substitute in his place a dozen or more patient, industrious , good families , even it they be of foreign birth. I think it does good to present this ' , dew of the ease to many Southern gentlemen, who' grewojdanct wealthy. not by vitiate alone of their industry and skill, but by teased of ihe protection and impetus to proSperity given by our hitherto model ate and magnanimous Gov ernment It is all idle nonsense for these Southern planters to say that t ey made this, South, that they own it, and that they can do as the please—even to break up' our Gov ernmeut, and to shut up the natural avenues of trade, intercourse and commerce. El NO, TO. We know, and they krow, it they are in. telligeut beings, that, as compared with the whole wcrld, thee are but as five millions are to one thousand millions—that they did not create the land—that their only title to its use and usufruct is the deed of the United States, and that if they appeal to war, they hold their ally by a very insecure tenure. For my part, I believe that this war hi the result of false political doctrines, for which we are all as a people responsible, viz : that any-antLe.very-peoplehave-a.,-right:to-self.govQ ertinant ; and I would give all a chance to reflect, and when in error to recant. I know, slaveowners finding themselves : ib possession of a species of prop. , rty in opposition to the growing sentiment of the whole civilized world, conceived their property in danger, and fool ishly appealed to war ; and by skillful politi cal handling involved with. themselves -the whole South on the doctrines of error and prejudice. I believe that some of the rich and slaveholding are prejudiced to such an extent that nothing but death and ruin 'will extinguish, bat hove that as the poorer and tudustrial_.,elasses--of-t he =Sow h-wi I I—realize - - the i r weakness, and their dependence upon the fruits of the earth and good will of their fel low men, they will not only discover the error of their ways, and repent of their hasty action, but bless those who persistently maintained: a constitutional Government, strong enough' sustain itself, protect its citizens, and promise peaceful homes to millions yet unborn. lit this behalf, - while I - assert - tor our 'env ernrnent the highest military prerogatives, am willi g in hear in patience that political nonsense of slave rights, State tights, free= dein of press,'nnti such other trash, as have deluded the Southern people into wir, anar chy, bloodshed, and the foulest crimes that have di s graced any time or any people; I would advise the commanding officers at Huntsville, and such othet towns as are oc cupied by ou • troops, to assemble the inhab itants and explain to them these plain, self evident proposi ions. and tell them it is for' them now to say whether they and their chit dreti shall inherit the beautiful land, which, by the accident of nature has fallen to their share. The Government of the U. S. has in North Alabama any and all rights which they chose to enforce in war, to take their lives, (Mir homes, their lands, their eferything f because they cannot deny that the war does exist there, und'war is simply power mire. , mediae,' by constitution or compact. If they want eternal war, well and good—we will ac cept the issue and dispossess them, and put our friends in possession. I know thousands and millions of good peo ple vt ho, at simple notice, would come to North Alabama and accept the elegant houses and plantations now there If the people of Hants. vilie think different, let them persist in war three years loner, ant then they will not be consulted. Three years ago, by a little re flection and patience, they could have had a hundred years of peace and prosperity, but they preferred war ; very well, last year they could have saved their slaves, but now it is too late; all the powers on earth cannot re store to them their slaves any more than their dead grandfathers. Next year their lands will be taken for in war we can take them, and rightfully, too. and in another year they may beg in vain for their lives. A people who will persevere in war beyond a certain limit. ought to know the consequences litany, many people, with less pertinacity than the South, have been wiped out of national eXis teuee. My own belief is, that even now the non slavehulding Masses of the South are aliens• dug from their associations in war. AI. ready hear erinunation. Those who have property left. should take warning in One. Stone I have dome down here, I have seen many Southern planters who now hire their negroes;,,and aoknowledgo that they knew not the earthquake they were to make by appeal ing to Secessicn. They thought that the pendulous had prepared the Way, and that, they ctuuld depart in peace. They now me that we are bound together as ono nation in indissoluble ties, and that any interest or any people, that set themselves up in antagonism to the dation, must perish. While I would not remit one iot or tittle of our nation's right iu peace or far, I do make allowances for past polnioal errors and false prejudices. Our national Congress and Su preme Courts are the proper arenas in whioll to discuss couflioting opinions, and not Oil battle held. You may not hear from me again, and if you think it will do any good, call some of the better people together, and explain tberti my views. You may even read to them this letter and let them use it, so as to pre*, them fur my coming. To those who submit to the rightful law and authority, all gentleness and forbearance, but to the petulant and persistent &canton• ists, why, death is mercy, and the quicker be or she is disposed of the better.
