If ",ltf -ft-- . ...

It re no " Uncle Tom's Cabin" nor " Aunt hillis's Cabin" letter. It is a real letter, written I by a real lady," to be. received by, andlead to her . . real servants. Tbo writer is a native of a New Eng W land Staterhas resided in Maryland a number of W veara. ha"s Been slavery in all .its aspects, among black and white, both- at hptno and-abroad ; aud i has, therefore," had peculiar advantages for uppreci-. .ating the comparative conditions of a .downtrodden ;c ' European peasantry and the southern slaves. , In perusing this fetter, which bears the impress of warm and affectionate feelings for those to whom it is addressed, our northern friends may pcrce-vc what it is so hard for them to appreciate the sym pathy to which this peculiar relation often gives " rise a sympathy in its nature resembling that be tween parent and child, and which can never be felt between the hired menial and his employers. While negroes are regarded with coldness or dis like by those unaccustomed to have them about them, they are usually looked upon with kindness and partiality by those wlio are brought up by them, and -with them ; often they are too much etted, and even a gross fault is indulgently over ooked. . Southern masters and mistresses may, in the pe rusal of this letter, bo led to consider their own ob ligations of cultivating conscience in their servants, ' and appealing to their moral feelings; of acknowl " edging them as.fellow beings, bound to one rom non tribunal before the Cireat Father and Jude of alt . li'Jt let the letter speak for itself: Yiexsa, Hotel Akcudike Cuakles, ( Oetober 1J, 1834. J To my faithful and affectionate servants I write these lines. I am now in a foreign country, where the language and the customs of the people are tlil Verent from ours. The great Atlantic ocean now 1 separates me from my dear home, and from you who assist in making that home pleasant and comforta ble. I think of the many persons and things in that home, which render it to me more interesting than any other place ; and I hope once more to be permitted to be there, and behold the kind faces of the faithful servants and friends, who, for so many years, have made a part of my large family. I never see one of your color where 1 am ; and have rarely met with a colored person since 1 left the shores of America ; but I have witnessed mise ry and distress, such as you know nothing of. In England, where so much concern has been expres sed for the colored people of our country, there :s much human sulH-nng. I passed through large manufaciuring towns, where the houses seem al most piled up upon each otlier, crowded in dark lanes and alleys, half under ground, like so many dungeons, with no pure siir; the light of heaven shut out of their damp, comfortless dwellings. 1 compared, in my own mind, these wretched dwel lings with the cottages which are furnished on the plantations for the homes of the servants, and the thought arose, how much better off are the colored people of America than those poor families with whom it is all work, worV little children and all, with no hope of any improvement in their condi tion, no kind word from master or mistress if they are sick, and unable to be in their places, or com mit any fault, they are liable to be turned off, and then they may starve, for no one will employ a workman who has been turned away by another master; there are more workmen than places to .fill. In the mining and coal districts the condition of the working people is stiil worse than in the manufacturing towns; here children are born under ground, pass their lives, and die in old age, with out ever having seen the glorious sun or moon, which the good God made fore His creatures. In England servants in boarding houses and pri vate families work much harder than any of you are required to do ; one table waiter, or chamber maid, there is expected to do more service than we . should require of two or three . servants. In one boarding house in London one young man seemed to do the work of four servants he set the tables, was chief waiter, porter, messenger, boot-black, and everything else. If a carriage was to be called for a boarder, James must go ; he was back in an instant, and at his work. If any one returned from a party or a concert, at eleven or twelve o'clock at night, James opened the door. If any one wished to leave early in the morning, and wished break fast by daylight, James had it ready, and waited at table ; then brought down the luggage and saw him ofE : James has a family, and receives about eight dollars a month. V hat would G. think if he were obliged to fill so many places, and to do so much work; but James was always pleasant, cheerful, and respectful ; his table-waiting was a pattern, and he was always neatly dressed in a full black suit, with white cravat and white gloves. The chamber maids mat looking English girls were always busy; everything was done in the neatest manner. At night we found the bed clothes turned down, just ready for one to step into bed; everything was put into its place; trunks could Le carried oy taeni i from one room to another; they expected to lift i things themselves ii necessary. In France we also observed that the servants were accustomed to perform a much larger amount of work than ours at home, and that it was gcnerallj' done in a much better manner. In Paris, we had a pleasant suit of apartments in a fine hotel, and usu ally dined at about six in the evening. Antoine, the servant who had the care of our rooms, waited at table, assisted by a younger servant Sometimes it happened that he was not as prompt as usual in bringing the different courses at dinner, and on in quiring the cause of the delay, he replied that he had dinner to serve in six other apartments, and the kitchen was at a great distance from them all. Of course, after this explanation, we were disposed to allow him some indulgence iu the time of serving the dinner. Servants in Europe wculd not dare to dress in finery. The girls wear very neat caps, and it would be considered unsuitable for them to appear dressed like ladies, with flounces, Swiss muslins, silks, laces, and flowers; they would be discharged at once for this; and it is in England a serious thing for a ser , vant to lose his or her place. The Queen has a cer- tain kind of dress which she can wear, and no oth - er person can ; and the Queen's servants wear a cer tain kind of livery which it is not allowed to any of the nobility to imitate for their servants. There is an order there in everything; and this has its advan tages ; for when persons try to appear what they are not, it is an evil. I think some of my women ser ' vants are too fond of wearing fine clothes ; they are less respected when dressed out in finery ; it leads to suspicions of honesty, and is regarded as a folly by ' every one. . I have observed that in England especially ser vants are more servile to their masters and mistress es than we desire yoH to be ; they fear to lose their places; they must bear whatever is laid upon them, or starve. You know it is very hard for a master or mistress to have an idle and unfaithful servant, it is still harder for a parent to have an undutifui child ; but he will try to make that child better; he knows he cannot cast him off so we try to make a bad ser vant better. For we know our relations are not eas ily dissolved, we cannot readily break the ties which connect us, so we bear with many faults ; and ser vants have their trials, too; for this world is to all a place of trial. In England, a respectable man with a family, who drivca a cab for his living, is obliged to pay his v "master" who owns the carriage and horse, about r three dollars a day whether" he earns anything or not in the day, he must carry that amount the next : morning to his master, or he loses his business. t . Now, if the cabman have a very good day he can earn a few shillings for himself and family, but often, &8 I was told in England, they do not make enough .. to pay the master. I found why it was that the cabmen were sometimes mean and dishonest that their .poverty and want drove them to this. Even .the grand ladies and noblemen of England arc slaves ,belbrethfeir Queen; they are not permitted that -freedom in respect to their intercourse with her which, in America, the colored servants are allowed Jun the presence of their master or mistress. You r may be surprised to learn that the English, over ' looking all the misery and distress of their own peo jple, and the slavery of the lower classes to the high ' if, and-of the higher to the royal family, are troub ling .themselves about the -colored- people of our, 'country. , But then you may.thank '; these - English' that your ancestors were brought from barbarous and heathen country into a f civilized and Christian land; and though when they brought them here as slaves, they did it from the love ; of gold, the' Lord has overruled it for the good of the colored race? as ! in the case of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brethren. - .He caused this riuio tor turn out. for rmrA i-n the FumUv nf -Tncnh. - .-'r ' '.

Their miserable hovels arc usually surrounded with mud and filth, with pigs or a cow before the door, the barn and house are mostly to gether, scarcely a slight partition' dividing the-' When the poor women have finished their hard day's work, (and this, I observed, was prolonged .till dark,) they pick up their children and go to then comfortless homes. These people do not own the land they work on. and may bo turne-d away from their poor homes wlun a new master co nes. In witnessing the poverty and wretchedness o. these la mis, 1 think of our own country and the many comforts enjoyed by all, even the poorest are not as miserable as they might be. Many persons of your color suffer unhappiness and Hl-treatment from b;id masters ; many white children sutler from hard and severe parents, many women are ill-treated by their husbands. Hut God has established hu man society in its various relations, and each of us must do all we can to fulfill our duties towards aii connected with us, whether parent or child, husband or wife, master or mistress, and this we must do, not for the sake of man, but as unto Him who says : "Servants, obey in all things yoar masters nccorJ to the flesh ; not with eye service, as mere pleasure ; but in singleness of heart, fearing God." There is, too, a sad war going on in the eastern part of Europe, and we see soldiers marching from England and France to join the armies which are fighting with the Turks against the Ilussians. Sol diers are torn from their families to be slaughtered in a fur off land by those against whom they have no quarrel. The people in England and France pity the colored slaves in America 1 They think it dread ful that they should be sent away from their homes to work, and be taken care of by masters who are interested in making them happy and comfortable ; but they do not think of that slavery which exposes a father, a husband or child to be sent from home to a foreign country to be butchered on tne oaaie field! In France, as I was waiting at a railroad station, I saw two ladies in deep distress ; one oi them had two ehi.'iiren with her, the other was accompanied by her mother ; both had been taking leave of then husbands, officers in the French army, who were going to the war against llussia. The aiflicteJ w ives believed they haii pai ted for ever from their hus bands. They did not dare to say much, for in France there is a severe and cruel master; but they uttered, in low tone, murmurs against this cruel master, who, for his own glory, sent away husbands, fathers, and brolhets, to be slain in a distant land. Yes, there is pity in Fiance and England for the col ored race in Amu-ica ! You will say, as I do, "Le t them spare their feelings for their own oppressed and miserable people.' Many of you have lived long with me. We are growing old together. Some of you have 'been called to great, great trials, as are all human beings at some periods of their lives. Aunt 11. has, I hear, been alliieted bj- sk-kness, and by the death of her daughter. She and aunt K. can sympathize with each other, and I trust theyuo, truly repenting that the- were ever at variance. May the Lord give them grace to bear their troubles like Christians, as I hope the-' are. 1 am sorry to learn that some of 3 0U have been sick. Uncle M. has not always been well of late. We all depend much upon him for the general care of the house, and I am always sorry ; t see him look wearied or discouraged, lie and 11. and J. have been long in my family, and are an ex ample to the other men servants. They are all pro fessors of religion, and I believe they try to do their duty from conscientious principles as unto God rath er than man. G. anci R. arc young, and they have not always done as they ought to do ; but I hope they have seen the error of their ways, and are do terrnined to do their duty and overcome all bad habits; Jto be regular and industrious, attentive to rules, and respectful to their superiors ; to be found in the places where they should be, and doing what is expected of them. This advice is for their own good, and I hope they will think upon and practice it, and that, at my return, 1 may have the satisfac tion of hearing a good account of them. N. has shown herself good and useful in filling the cook's place when her family were sick. C. and E. have done well in their places the last year, and, I hope, will take pride in keeping everything neat and tidy, and in being attentive to their duties. G. should consider himself as bound to give all the help possi ble in the house, and I hope lie attends faithfully to the door-bell. I would not ask him to do one quar ter that was done by the English servant or the French waiter of'whom I have written ; but he must consider that it is ntcexsary he should be steady and attentive. This should be required cf all and every servant. Unless this is done they are in the way, and do more harm than good. T. is a servant from whom I have borne many trials, and I am sorry to learn from letters from home that she has destrov- ed, through great carelessness, some rare and valu able articles, and has been guilty of disobedience, arid the greater sin of dishonesty and falsehood. I would not mention this in writing home, but that I think it proper she should know 1 have been inform ed of her conduct, which, unless it is greatly changed, will be the cause to herself of uiuvh future misfor tune, as well as of evil to those who have the care of her. A. has much improved in her conduct since she has lived with us, and 1 hope will do all she can to help Aunt K. to get along well in their depart ment. I send my kind remembrance to all the ser vants who may be in the house, to 1$. and 1, and others who may be employed about the place. I remember well our solemn parting the night be fore 1 left home. Nest to my own children, and those who are with me as children, I felt the sepa ration from you. JJut the Lord mercifully preserved me amidst the perils of the great deep, and I trust will restore me to my home iu safety. It will be to us all a happy day when I am once more with you. I commend you to the care of Him who watches over all His creatures, praying that He may bless you in this world with that preparation of heart which may fit you for the world to come. Your affectionate friend and mistress. The Female Heart. Pura and unsullied as a young girl's first love, has become an adage. Aye, pure indeed is it and unsullied as the snow flakes that fall in fleecy drifts in the gloaming. The most fe'.icitous moment of man's life is when he is blessed with the timid avowal of love from the worshipped idol of his heart. Nothing is purer than a woman's love nothing so devoted as her affections. Be it for a love, a husband, a child or a parent, it is tho same pure flame kindled by the coals from the altar on high. Give her and assurance of love in return a token of deathless affection, even if it be amid the gloom of poverty or the darkness of death and the feelings of her heart will gush forth pure as the chrystal wavelets that spring from the mountain rock, despite the bonds and mercenary ties of fashion and pride. Her worshipped idol is love, and she makes it the sacred Mecca, towards which she bends all her enregies, a faithful pilgrim for life. Thi3 principle shapes all her actions and is the great incentive of her life a faculty that absorbs her being and con- centrater her soul. "lis better to be the favored idol of one unsullied heart, than to sway the gilded scep- tre over empires and kingdoms. The impasioned . devotion of, one .high souled and noble woman is a more peerless gem than" the sycophantic fawning of millions. ' . Whoso hath this gem, let him preserve it with a jealous career .

AND' POLITICS. We copy the following excellent article from a ; late number of the Eichmond Despatch I" J ; '?,,' CtEaovMEN akd? PoLmcs.---We cannot agree' yrith the sentiments expressed by our Washington correspondent," in his letter published yesterday, concerning clergymen accepting civil office. We are most cieany.of the opinion that no minister of any denomination should bo eligible to official sta- itirm muW the Federal or State eovernment.- We 'regard it as one of tho wisest provisions of the Con-! stitution of Virginia which excludes, clergyman from her legislative halls. And, what is more, we believe that every spiritually minded clergymen of of every religious denomination in this country will most fervently and emphatically concur with us in our opinion. If there was one point which, more than any oth er, tho Divine Founder of Christianity endeavored to impress upon the minds of his apostles and disci ple upon which his warnings were more abundant, more solemn and more emphatic than any other, it was on the great point, that His kingdom is not of this world. Expecting in the Messiah a temporal Prince, and ambitious of official station for them selves iu His kingdom, it was the great aim of the I teachings of the Saviour, and it was the most dim cult of all tho lessons which he taught, to disabuso their minds of their inveterate prejudices upon this subject, and make them understand that they could io serve two masters, that they must choose be tween God and the world, and that tho kingdom of Christ was a pure and unmixed spiritual kingdom. When he had succeeded in this object, and whilst His church was established upon this pure and evan gelical basi--, having no connection, either through its ministers or in any way, with temporal affairs, the progress of Christianity was more rapid, glori ous anel overwhelming than at any subsequent peri od of history. The union of church and state is the one great drawback upon the complete and universal triumph of Christianity in the old world. It is this which in Italy, Scotland, England, France, Prussia, Austria, and otlier continental countries, has impaired the pith and essence of religion, paralyzed its energies, and put weapons in the hands of its adversaries. It is an attempt to do what Christ has forbidden to unite spiritual and temporal authority and the at tempt has only corrupted and degraded both the church and state. In our own country, church and state have been kept apart, and the result is seen in the rapid and genera! evangelizing of the country. But let ministers be made eligible to oilice ; let it be come the custom to send Ihem, not only to Con gress, but to the State Legislatures, and practically we shall have all the evils of church and state, as thej- are felt in Europe. The State will lose, for the education of clergymen does not prepare them for public aif'tiis, ami liie church will suiter by being deprived of the services of those whom she needs at her altars and in her missionary duties, and by the spirit of worldliness, ambition and love of power which will inevitably gel possession ( I' her pulpits. Thtfie is scarcely a religions denomination in the country which dues not complain of a lack of min iste ial lab r. The field, we are told, is white for the harvest, and the laborers are few. Not only are great numbers of domestic missionaries wanted, but vast myriads oi" heathen are wanting to be en lightened. Here is a suilieient call for ininis'.eriai energies without intruding into politics. Moreover, clergymen have work enough already. If they faithfully perform their duties, they are among the most laborious men in the world. Two or three dil igently studied and thoroughly digested sermons tverj-"Sunday, one or two instructive lectures in the week, burying, baptizing, making pastoral calis on every member of the c-mgregation, and watching anxiously and earnestly for the souls of each and all, "as they that must give an account," will give a cler gyman plenty of occupation, we should think, with out entering the field of politics. How can any con scientious clergyman give up these duties for polit- , icai life ? It is quite clear tlioy cannot be united. What, too, must be the effect upon the minds of ! the people at large, when th.-y see clergymen dab- i bling in the "miry political Hood with as much ap- j parent zest and energy as the merest worldlings i i They now behold them only -in spiritual things. ' But when they come in dai'y contact with them in j the dusty and polluted thoroughfares of earthly am- j biticn and rivalry, the' will loose in a great measure that respect for the clerical character which they j now entertain, and the pulpit instructions of Sunday will be deprived of their efficacy by the secu'ar oc cupations of tbe week. When the clergy give one , day in the week to God and six to politics, the in terests of religion cannot but suffer." Fiiee Banking. We pub ish an extract, g'ving a j sufficiently characteristic description of the new j Banking Law that has been adopted in Indiana, j against the Veto of the G ivernor. It is a great cu- j riosiiy in legislation, and may be fairly quoted as proof" that we are a progressive people. The New ! York Free Banking Law Irid in it much to take the 1 fancy, and on abstract principles, much to convince the judgement. It would be dillicult to frame a conclusive argument against it, and easy to make a , specious showing in its favor. Time has, however, proved x logician stronger ih.in human intellect, ami, j tried by this test, the New York Free-Banking Law : has prove. 1 a failure almost a bubble-. It has encouraged sperulatmn to an extraordinary degree, ! and proved extremely feeble in resisting tiie conse- queue es. Where gold and silver are the basis of j hanking, it happens that uneler a revulsion, this j basis imvitablv increases iu value ; but where State j Stocks form the basis, it is found that these, quite as j much as the credit of the banks themselves, were subject to all the fluctuations of the money market, 1 and that in moments or revolution they were abso- j lutely worthless for the redemption of circulation. j But the Western State-; have gone .iir beyond the New York limit. They have allowed all sorts of : State Stocks to be accented as a security for the cir- j dilation, and some of them, we believe, have adopted ! Railroad Bonds and other such securities. The re sult has been a central crash in the Banking system of the North-West during the recent monetary crisis. And this catastrophe has been cspeeia'ly disastrous in Tndiania, where nearly every bank sus pended, and the public were made to suffer a loss of not le-ss than twentv-fivc per cent, on the entire cir culating medium of the State. It is in the face of this bitter experience tint the Legislature have adopted a general law, relea-'ng banks in effect from all restraint, anil apparently in tended to create the greatest possible amount of pa per circulation with the least possible security its redemption. The banks are allowed to iss''c notes to three times the amount of the capital pa'd in, and to three times the amount of their deposits And this is only the beginning. Tho banlis are not restricted to deposites of money, but may receive any valuable articles of small bulk, and issue notes thereon ; and as there is no legal definition of the kind of articles or the proportion of value to bulk, and no tribunal, o'licr than the parties, appointed to settle tho terms of these deposits the result must be that the banks will be converted into mere pawn brokers' shops. There can be but one improvement, downward, to this scheme, and that, we have no doubt, will be adopted in practice which is to pay up tho capital of the banks with tho promissory notes of the stockholders. W ltn tins improvement, tho Indiana banking law will prove the most com plete and perfect system of swindling ever yet de vised by human wisdom. Chas. Mer. , A Droll Mistake. Pittsburg is illuminated week ly by the appearence of two papers of peculiar . bril liancy and power, which are antipodes in sentiment, though both published by the same printing office, and they are known to the world as "The Chronicle" and.t'The Young American," which is the Know Noth'-- ing organ, while the Chronicle is published with the approbation of the Catholic Bishop. ', What language can describe the astonishment and consternation of the readers of both papers, - when, on Wednesday last, the leading article in each sheet was discovered to be a bitter attack upon itself?

" '.' Tho most numerous 6ect in the United States is the Methodist, the second the Baptist, and the third the Presbyterian. The first has church accommo dations for over four millions of worshippers : in oth er words, the Methodists h ive houses of worship for one-sixth of the entire population. The Baptists have accommodations for more than three millions, and the Presbyterians for more than two. ihe fourth sect, in tho extent of its accommodations, is the Congregational ; the fifth, the Episcopalian ; and the sixth, the ltoman Catholic. The number of churches belonging to tho three leading denominations does not follow this proportion however. The Method ists, for example, while they can accommodate but twice as many worshipers as the Presbyterians, have three times as many churches. The ltoman Catho lics, though sixth on the list as regards accommoda tions, stand seventh in the number of their church es. Of the principal sects, that which has the small est edifices for worship is the Methodist, and those which have the largest are the Unitarians and Dutch 'Reformed. The smallest denomination is the Swe denborgian, and the next Mennonitc. There are no less than filly-two Tu iker churches, and thirty-five thousand worshippers. The Friends, so numerous in this city, have accommodations for about three hundred thousand, o - but little more than onc-Lun-dreth of the entire population of the United States. The richest denomination is the Methodist, which is rated at $14,033,630. The next is the Presbyte rian, which is rated at $14,'3G9,8SU. The Episcopal, which, in number of churches, stands fifth, ranks third for its church property, being estimated at $1!,231,U7. The fourth is "the Baptist, $10,031,-88-2 ; the fifth, the Roman Cathoiic, $d,!)73,838 ; and the sixth, the Congregational, $7,973, l't2. Of these various sects, the two which sympathize the most in doctrine, are the Congregationalists and Presby terians both adhering to tho Westminister Cate chism, and differing only in their form of govern ment, the one being republican, the other elemocratic. Together, these two sects have over six thousand ehurches, can seat nearly three million of worship ers, and hold church property to the value of more than $i;3,000,f;0e). The seet whose average value cf property ranks highest is the Unitarian. Next comes the Hutch Reformed, and next the Jewish. The Swedeiibor gians, Rom.tn Catholics, anel Episcopalians, follow in the order named. Of the leading eienominalions, the Methodists stand the highest on the list, and the jiiptists next, while the Presbyterians and Congre gulionalists hold a middle place. 1 'h UiiJeJjtJi iii LtJijer.

The following is an extract from a letter of a Washington correspondent of the Richmond Examiner: - I regard the re-election of Seward as a far more se rious affair than that of an ordinary Federal Senator. It proves his power in his own State, and the strength of that Fusion party in the North of which he is the embodiment and the head and front. There is no longer a doubt that he will be the candidate of the Fusionists in the next Presidential election. He is the acknowledged leader of a conglomeration of po litical elements and isms that is already strong enough to carry every State but Illinois (and proba bly that too) north of Mason and Dixon's line. I fear his election to the Senate settles the ques tion of his election to the Presidency. No doubt the Democratic party will nominate a Southern man. Seward will be the candidate of the Northern Fu sionists; and the contest will be between a North ern candidate, sure to receive the vote of every Nor thern State, and the So ithern candidate equally sure to receive every Southern vote. In such a contest, the South of course must be outvoted ; and Seward must be elected President of the Union and Execu tor of laws, organic and legislative, which he holds to be legitimate means of exterminating slavery. In that too probable, but most deplorable event, the South will be obliged to hoist the flag of secession, and to march out of a camp in which she could re main neither with honor nor safety. I do not believe, for one, that she ought to remain in a confederacy presided over by William J3. Sew ard; and I fear the hour is rapidly approaching when Virginia will have to take up the words of her immortal son, uttered in an "earlier but not a more solemn political crisis, and proclaim to her people and her sisters of the South" we must fight. " No one can mistake the temper of the Northern people at this time. . The Fusionists are triumphant and ex ultant every where-rand the whole North looks upon the nomination of Seward for the Presidene.v a nnW - a little ttiore "certain than his election to that offi .There is . but one hope of defeating him and his Fusionists.-It is in preserving intact the organization Of the -Democratic party in the States and in the Union.- .The Know Nothing movement is the most dangerous agency "that has been . brought to bear against that organization, and ought to be checked and defeated, promptly and effectually, everywhere at the South. - : .- ., v. v . . r-.- r.-, .- ; Land warrants are in good demand in3 New York, nd worth $160 to $165--parts in. proportioning ?
