Mrs. Anna Oilman JJjwun, llaltimore (Md.) Dear Modam : Yourwelcome let ter of June I81I1 came to me here amid the sound of battle, and, as you lay, little did I dream, when I knew you playing a a school-girl on Sulivsn' Island beach, that I should control a vast army, pointing like the ewan of A Uric toward the plains ol the South. Why, oh I why Is thla t If 1 know my own heart It beat us warmly as ever toward those kind and gnrous fam ilies thut greetid us with uch warm bo pltuliiy in dayo long peat, but still present in memory ; and to day, were Frank nd Mr. Porclier, and Eliza Oilman, and Mary Lamb, and Marguret Biuke, the Harks dale, Quoshi. the Pryot, Indeed any and all of our cherished circle, their children, or even their children- children, ta come to me as of old, the stern feeling of duty and conviction would melt as snow before the genial sun, and I believe I would strip my own children that they might be shel tered ; and yet Ibey call me barbarian, van dal uud monster, uud all the epithet that language can Invent that are significant of malignity and hate. All I pretend to lay, on earth oi In heaven, man must submit to some arbiter. Ha must not throw off his allegiance to hi Government or hi God without just leason and cause. The South had no cause; not even a pretext.' Indeed, by bet unjustifiable course ch has thrown j cownrd and craven, meriting the contempt nnguhh of families ; lint tic very moment the men of the South say that intcad nf appealing to war they should Imvc iippcnl- nl to renson. to our Conensa. In our .Miens, to our Courts, to religion, and to the experience of history, then will 1 say peace peace 1 go back to the point of error, nnd resume I your places si American eltlKens, with nil 1 their prima heritage, wncuicr 1 annii live to see this period Is problems! teal, but you may and may tell your mother and sisters that I never forgut one kind look of greeting, or ever wished to efface. Ill re mrmberance ; but puttlnir on the armor of war I did It that onr common country should not pcriih In infamy nnd dlihonor. I am married, have n wife and six children living In IiNcaslcr (Ohio). My course has beeu an eveallul one, but I hope when the cloud of nnger and passion nro dispersed, nnd truth emerges bright and clear, you and all who kucw me In early years will not blush that we were once dear friend. Tll Ellta. for me, that 1 hop she may lire to realize that the doctrine of "sece sfon" is as monstrous as our civil code as disobediance was In the Divine law. And, should the fortunes of war ever bring you or your sisters, or any of our old clique, under the abetter of my authority, I do not believe thry will have cause to regret It. Give my love to your children, and the assurance of my respect to your honorable kutband. Truly, W. T.SnritvtAN. A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RE CORD.

It i a much better and larger month and river than Is the fiver and mouth ol" lliifT.ilo river, ami there Is nu good reason therefore why the samci If not a larger amount of business may not be done by .M'Kt-Is cnpHcllatrd for It and vrasels of over one thousand tons haVo often fulirul both those mentioned rlurs. Versel, onco Inside, can lay Jn safclyi while al Crescent City, for instance, vessels arc much more rafe out of the harbor than In it during Ihe winter. Another feature to conipsiu with Crescent City would be the faul that, In Rogue Hirer vessel Can (and do) lay al n wharf and load and tin. load It being quit smooth thus doing away with the expenses of lighterage, load Ing, etc. The only draw back to trade with lha Interior (Inside tho coast range) hu been In the fact that, like Vuqulurt Hay, Rogue River has been overlooked. It is now claimed that light-draught steamers can run up tht river about forty miles, anil that n wagon road can be conitructtd tu connect tbl with tho valley proper, In few tulles. A trail will be opened out in a Vie wttls from the month of Rogue Riv er to tho "Dig Ilend," about thirty-five miles, nnd from there to Camas Prairie, la from fifteen to twenty miles to the main aloge toad. This will test the practicabil ity ul this matter, us It Is Intended to lay out the trail as near as possible to where a wagon road could ba made, and this, to , on ground scarcely If ever covered by snow iu lha worst winter.
