A fviend, re siding in Port Huron, Michigan, has a lit tle son About iiiuo years old. A neighbor of his had a lovely unci interesting daugh- tor or about tho same ogo. .Thi'to children have been playmates and fust friends for several years, mid, ns is frequently the case in like circumstances, have been often ban teretl on this childish attachment. Lately Uncle Sam 15 , the father of tho boy, met little Jennie on the street. " What profession do you want Alva to study for?" said ho with a merry twinkle in his eye, at the same time stroking affec tionately the curls of the little maiden. " Oh I" eaid she with a. confused hesita tion and nn interesting lisp." 1 don't know, Mr. I4 . I shouldn't liko to liuve hint be a nilnitlicr, I gueth." " And why don't you wnn't liitn to lio u minister, Jennie?" said the old gentle man, smiling. " Oli, cawtb," replied she, blushing, nnd looking down with unufiocle.l modesty, "milliliters childern never Iiavo nny fun."

I Inn) piib'cqucnlly opportunities of knowing the views on that subject, not only or such men us Hamilton, King, Jay and Pickering, but ulso of distinguished slaveholders or boili the Pickneys, of William Smith of South Cnrolinn, and of many others. With the first of these I had personal intercourse and acquaintance, f can truly say that I never knew the indi vidual, slaveholder or non-sluvehoMer, who did not express a detestation of it, and the desire and disposition to get rid of it. The only difficulty, in ense of ('mancipation was, What shall wo do for the master, nml what shall we do with (he slave? A satisfuc lory answer to both these questions lias been, until now, beyond the reach nnd the grasp of human wisdom nnd power. I hrough the direct influence of a just mid generous God, the people of lliu United States have been invested with tho power of answering satisfactorily both of these questions, and also of providing for the diffi culties iuuidcnl In both, of which, if they fail to avail themselves, thoroughly and conclusively, they will entail shunio on themselves und sorrow and misery on many generations. It is impnsible for me Io re gard the power thus granted to these peo ple othorwbc than as u proceeding from the direct influence of n superintending Providence who ever makes (hose mud whom he iiilemh to destroy. Thu only pos sible way in which slavery, nflcr it had crown to such u height, could have been abolished, is that which heaven bus adopted. Your instrumentality in the work is to you a subject of special glory, favor nnd felicity. The madness of Secession nnd its inevitable consequence, civil war, will, in their result, give tho right und the power of univtrsal emancipation sooner or later. If tho United States do not understand and fully appreciate the boon thus bestowed on them, und fail to improve it to tho utmost extent of tho power granted, they will prove recreant to themselrcs and posterity. I write under the impression that the victory of the United States in this war is inevitable. Compromise- is impossible. Peace upon any other basis would be tiiu establishment of two nation t, each hating the other, both military, both nectssaaily hostile, their teritorries interlocked, witli a tendency to never-ceasing hostility. Cun we leave to posterity a more cruel inheri tance, or one more hopeless of happiness and prosperity? Pardon mo for tho liberty I have taken in this letter, nnd do not feci obliged in any way to take notlco of it; nnd believe me, ever your grateful and obliged servant, Josiaii Qui.nov. (2ui.vcr. Sept. 7.1 8G.). er evidently penetrated the designs of Lee. who remarked that " no favorable oppor tunity was offered for nltuclc." Gen. Hook er deserves far more credit that he has re cicved, for the firmness nnd intelligence lie displayed In this game of war. He held his nrmy for two weeks firmly in linud. marched it day nfter day so us Io interpose it between the enemy and the Capital, kept it ready constantly for a fight, but had the wit, mil withstanding the clamors raised against him, to refrain from giving or even offering battle. It is evident that Lee was surprised und bitterly disappoint ed at this unexpected conduct of Honker. Gknciiai. Jim La.vk o.v Nkoiiokh. In the supplement of General Lane's speech, published in the St. Louis llcjmLlican, October Mlh, he says: " W'v tiro Amalgamnlionifilsl That, conies nice, now, from n man raised in a slave State, ugiiiiml Northern men. I know I am speaking to people of tt slave Stale, but I propose to speak ns plainly aa though I were in Liwrcnee, Knn-as. That was it pretty charge to make ngainst Northern men. to cincuutu from a man raised among hIiivcs and slave huldt rs ! We in the North don't mix ginitly with tho blacks well, 1 don't know us 1 ean say it." A voice in the crowd Speak it out J speak oul 1 " When I was a child, I was not of much consequence. My mother was not very well, mid she put mc'oiit to muse with u nigger winch, in Kentucky. This nigger wench had another baby not near ns white us I wu; we slept in the saint' eiadlc wo wrestled together we went swimming; together it was n buy, I remember. Nothing of that kind trnuspiiis among Northern people. Why. the other day, in the cars, between Hiirrisburg ami Haiti more, I saw a lady ami her daughter, about thirteen years old, ami u nigger eami! into the car; the girl was seared to ileulh, and the mother told me that the little gbl nev er had seen u negro before. How is it in slave States?

Will somebody tell ? All his plans were disarranged, nnd instead of invading the free Stntcs on the heels of a beaten army, he had no alternative but to march into Pennsylvania and take the chances Cx battle there, with the greatly increased risks of loss, in case lie was de feated. There lias been no finer maneuver ing displayed in the wur than that by which Hooker so embarrassed Lee. Forc ed, ngainst his judgment, to invade Pcnn sylvania ; separated from his cavalry, on which he depended for information ; and engaged in n movement which promised no definite conclusion except a battle the chunces of which, far away from his base, wero not pleasant to contemplate Lee did not liopo to get of!' so cheaply as he did. Uy the skillful lines of concentration pursued by Hooker nnd Meade he found his commuuieatioiiR threatened, and made haste In take the bnck'tmek. At Gettys burg ho admits n defeat, though qualifying it by claiming certain captures ; but on the 4th of July ho was short of ammuni tion, nnd was obliged to get out of Penn sylvania ns quickly us he could. He do(B not mention that ho left several thousand of his wounded, ami nearly all tho prison ers he had taken, in our hands ; or that he retreated silently, in the night, but speaks of inarching ofl' trains with woundul and prisoners." Nor does ho specify the losses ho met with from cavalry attacks on the retreat. He udmits that Gen. Petigru was hilled in action, but claims that it was in a Hinall affair, und does not mention that it occurred at Falling Waters. He once asserted tiiat no engagement took place at that time, and denied the truth of General Mcade'e report. But ho now makes u re luctunt ndmmission that Meade's report was correct. It is absurd to suppose, that Leo does not, ns he asserts, yet know his own losses, of which not a figure is giveu. N. Y. Evening Post. The way of writing modern romances.
