TO THE PUBLIC.
Having disposed of the Union newspaper to Mr.
Geo. W. Bowman, my connexion with it lias ceased.
My relations to the paper during the period of my
proprietorship, have been purely of a business nature
; its editorial management has been under the
exclusive control of the gentlemen who retired from
| the concern about two weeks ago.
The books and papers belonging to the Union
establishment have been placed in the hands of Mr.
James M. Towers, No. 408 D street, near Seventh, who
is fully authorized to collect all sums due on account
of the paper. Having conducted the Union as a
central democratic press at considerable pecuniary
sacrifice to myself, I' may appeal with justice to
those indebted to the concern promptly to remit the
amount due to Mr. Towers, who is alone authorized
to adjust the affairs of the office.
I cannot close my connexion with the Union without
tendering my sincere thanks to the subscribers
of the paper for the support they have kindly accorded
to it.

BLACK REPUBLICANS AND AMERICANS.
When the black republicans first organized, as a
party, they professed to be too perfect to be content
to associate with democrats or wliigs. Neither of
theso time-honored parties were sufficiently profound
and wise in theory or spotless in practice to
be worthy of fellowship. They withdrew from old
associations to unite in a new organization that
should be free and pure and uncoutaminated by the
heresies and wickedness of either. It is true that
those who had been democrats claimed that they were
Btill democrats, but had become purified, and those
who had been wliigs claimed they were wliigs still,
1)11 i. hv llipir now nnnvArainn Viurl horntiiA an nArfucl
that they were too good longer to dwell together in
unity with their former associates. Both were just
men made perfect. For a time they separated themselves
from the world and professed abhorrence oi
all outside barbarians. The Americans, who sought
- to build up a party upon the theory of birth-place
and religion, were especially condemned, as the
greatest fanatics of the age, whose principles could
never be tolerated. The war upon those heretics was
severe and, apparently, never-ending. Tho Americans,
when first organized, concealed their aims, within
the dark recesses of lodge-rooms. By accident or
treachery of some of tho initiated, their principles
were promulgated. They were the antipodes of
the republicans, and profossod the strongest repugnance
to their political doctrines, and especially
their admitted sectional basis of action. The great
body of the Americans were found in tho southern
States, and in that part af the Union they were
mostly old-lino whigs. They wero professedly the
deadly enemies of abolition and slavery agitation.
At the North the same partisans assumed to act upon
the same ground. They were too good and too perfect
to fraternize with their former associates, or to mingle
with the common herd of whigs and democrats. I
Hut soon the koen observer discovered that a strong
sympathy existed between the black republicans
and Americans. When, in Congress they were soon
found voting and acting together in perfect harmony.
Their joint votes made Mr. llanks Speaker, and
each party claimed him as a Simon 1'ure and indisputably
its man and champion. The Congress precedent
was soon followed in the different States,
and at the present time they are acting everywhere
with tho utmost cordiality. A small concession,
even a nominal one, removes all obstacles, and n
firm union is formed. For instance, in Massachu
setts the black republicans have consented to prohibit
a naturalized citizen frojn voting for two years
- after he is otherwise qualified. This has satisfied
the Americans, and in that State they form the tail
to tho black-republican kite. In Now York Iosb has
been yielded to them. They consent to come in and
to go for Seward for President, abandoning Fill
more, upon conditio? that a registry law should
be passed. In New Jersey the Americans came in
and helped the republicans to elect a senator in consideration
of receiving certain State offices which
they have not yet obtained and probably never will.
In Pennsylvania the only condition of the union was
that both should make a common light against a
democratic administration, which was toopuro, just,
and high-minded to suit the purposes of either. In
Maryland the black republicans have been eminently
successful in their tactics. At first, being few in
number, they appeared to bo hewers of wood and
carriers of water for the lordly Americans for nothiug.
But it now turns out that the latter, seeing
their prostrate condition, have agreed to fraternise
with the black republicans and to unite
with their cohorts for "the approaching campaign.
At a recent Stato convention the Americans
made proclamation by their resolutions,
that they were ready to unite, for the future,
with any and all parties who are not democratic,
which means the Seward black republicans.
All their past professions of abhorrence of hlack republicanism
are abandoned. They are ready to repudiate
all past professions and swallow any croed,
urou umiiuun, m oruer to eecure n?ip u> noiom uio
democracy, and plant themselves under a winning
banner, evou though it should bo black. This is the
trno condition of things with all the Americana,
If wherever found. They have fused with the black
g,, republicans wherever the latter have any strength,
f and now those parties embrace each other with all
|jl. tho cordiality of the moat affectionate brothers. Even
the form of separate conventions will not bo long
t continued. Both are the same In principle and practice.
The distinction in name will soon cease to exist,
and a new one will be conferred by common conscut
that can be adopted in all parte of the Union.
Those parties act upon the motto that "united wo
taud, divided we fall."

lu every community men are found who Hre ami

Of distrust, and create the apprehensions upon which '
they operate and from which their profits are derived.
To expose such characters, and to guard an
unsuspicious community against them, is a common
duty, and he who performs it must he regarded as a

Very remarkable coureo pursued by the correspondout
of the Pennsylvania Inquirer, in respect to the
Post Office Department. He assorted roundly some
time since that the contractors for carrying the
mails could not raise the funds to carry on the mail
service. He insists, however, that he is correct,
nevertheless asserting that the contractors have
nothing more than a claim against the United States.
About this we shall uot waste words, but merely remark
that if, as is the fact, the contractors perform
service for which the Postmaster General is authorised
by law to contract the government is in law
bound to pay them for it. If this does not constitute
indebtedness, what in tlis name of common sense
does ? As to tho legal obligation of the government
to pay interest on these debts, until satisfied, wo
would say that we have never admitted it, tho correspondent's
assertion to the contrary notwithstanding.
That there will be a strong equitable
claim for payment of interest we are free
to confess, being required to execute their contracts
by an assignment or transfer of their accounts
against the government. This position was so
boldly assumed, and by one, too, presumed to know
better, that it was well calculated to create distrust
011 the part of moneyed men, and so place the contractors
at the inercy of speculators. Under those
circumstances, we deemed it our duty, on the 2d
inst., to call attention to the subject, and to state
the law in the case as construed by tho government
for the last six yearB, which is a direct contradiction
of the allegations made by the Inquirer's correspondent.
After a week's delay the correspondent replies
to our article, and admits that we are correct as regards
tho construction of the law.
FROM OUR OH'N CORRESPONDENT.
New York, (Friday night,)
April 8, 1859.
The almost certain prospect that the new chatter i
which passed the house of assembly yesterday will pass
the senate and become a law, is causing no little excite- <
mcnt and indignation among the people here. A moruiug
paper has very aptly entitled the proposed bill,
"amendments to the charter for taking away the municipal
rights of New York." There was a meeting of the
democratic goneral committee last night in Tammany
Hall, at which a long scries of resolutions was adopted
by acclamation, denouncing in the strongest possible lan- 1
guage tho insidious attempt of the black-republican ma- I
jority of the Albany legislature "to undermine our civic
rights, curtail or abolish our municipal privileges, and,
finally, deprive us of all practical voice in tho control and i
direction of our own immediate affairs." Tho general I
committee of the Mozart Hall democracy also met last .
night, and among others passed the following resolution, '
from which you can form an adequate opinion of the gen- <
oral indignation : t
Ueiotml, That theso measures aro known as hills to am rani tho city 1
charter, to provide a registry law to rloprivo tho people of tho power I
ol electing the inspectors and canvassers of elections, ami to mako
special grants to Ctvorilu Individuals by which to lay rails and run
cars without the content "f th corporation; each of Uicee acts, If pass
cd,will contain principles utterly subversive of the rights to which
wo have reforred, and against which we now protest lu the unmo or
tho people and corporaUon of New York. I
have known two or three renegade democrats who
joined the black republicans within tho last year, who,
when treated with contumely by ail honest men for their '
unprincipled treachery, have endeavored to defend them- 1
selves by boldly asserting that they were still "Jcfiersonian
democrats," of the purest and most sterling stamp.
I thought that this vociferous assertiou of devotion to
tho great founder of republican democracy was the bom- '
ago mat conscious political infamy paid to the highest political
virtue ; but it appears that 1 was mistaken. I now '
see that the abolitionists claim that Thomas Jefferson
was "one of them," and " a determined opponent of hu- .
man slavery," after the manner of Greeley, Checver, .
Dryant, rt hoc gemu omnc. Tho fact that Mr George B. .
Loiing, in his speech at the celebration of Jefferson's
birthday at Salem, Massachusetts, omitted to muntion
that " the Apostle of Liberty" was a nigger- worshipper ,
is mode a ground of grave complaint against hint by the .
Evening Post; and the same journal takes Mr. Benjamin
F. Hullett to task for his " sublime audacity" ill assert "
ing that Jefferson recognised tho institution of domestic
slavery. It is some palliation of the crime of Messrs.
Loring and Ilnllett that most people in the United States .
entertain tho settled conviction that Mr. Jefferson was ,
not an abolitionist, and that he fully recognised African ,
slavery as a perfectly legal institution wherever tho peo- ,
pic desired to adopt it.
The Post would probably pardon the offenders, because
wo cannot all Ire profound historians no more than we ,
can be poets, political renegades, or authors of stupid .
books of travel, had not tho "audience gathered in New .
England, and especially in the State of Massachusetts,"
actually listened and, what is far worse, "listened with
patience" to "the logic" of tho above-named gentle- ,.
men. To defeat a personal-liberty bill, and to listen ,
"with patience" to Jefferson's name being "lugged in ,
as an apologist, and defender'' of the ' 'social curse of his
country," during the short space of seven days, and in
the State of Massachusetts, is a sad sight. Another historical
discovery which the Post has made, and which
will strike most people by Its novelty, is that "the memorable
ordinance of 1787 raised a perpetual barrier to the a
progress of slavery." If the Post had snid that that "mem
<n?ui. u.uiu?u uiniiuvviy amcnou mar congress ruui no
power to prohibit slavery in the Territoiine, and that it j
furnishes the amplest refutation of all the hlnek-republican
dogmas, and is the strongest proof of tiro unoonstitutionality
of the Missouri Compromise, it would for onee have
told the truth, historically and politically. Qrief i* bewildering
in its effects, and the recent conduct of Massa
chusetts must be lacerating to the foelings of the sensitive
Tost.
There is a very fair prospect that ere many days we
shall hear officially that Commodore Vanderbilt has withdrawn
the lM>ats which lie announced hU determination
to lun in opposition to the Pacific Msil Steamship Company.
The Commodore, who is always open to a certain
species of convictions is more than likely to be oonvinced
this time. The difference liotwecn him and the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company have been referred to the arbitration
of Moses Taylor and Koliort Minturn, and though
it is not known in what precise form the settle meet will
be made, it is generally believed that the Pacific Mail
Company will not have any opposition. Their stock
went up 51 per cent, since yesterday, and closed buoyantly
at 85}. ADSITM.

Purchase Of the YaCiit America bt an American.?
The Paris correspondent of the New York Times writes
that:
" Mr. Leonard W. Jerome, of New York, !r bargaining

time, that she waa bought by these gentlemen. It ia .
probable that the sum paid for her was insignificant, but ,
lord Templetown has asked for and obtained tho first ,

of the boat, aod it Is thought he will not, the

_ -THE
RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
(From th* Provldnnoo (R. I.) nstly l*o?i, April 7 .J
We publish returns this morning from all the towns j
in the State, with the exception of New Bboreham. It I
will be seen that the aggregate vote is very diminutive, j
having grown "small by degrees and beautifully loss" as
we have come down from the presidential contest of
1856. It is upwards of seven thousand smaller than it
was at tluit election, and about four thousand smaller
than it was iu 1852. It is Hafo to say that at this election
at least ten thousuud men who might have voted,
or might have been qualified to vote, took no part ia the
election. It is also very safe to say that a very large majority
of those are democrats. The quarrel in the opposi
tion ranks brought the forces of that party, especially iu
the eastern district, very generally into the field, while
our own supposed weakness answered all the purjtoses
of an opiate for our frieuds.
The opposition, it will bo seen, have elected their gov
ernor and attorney general, a majority in both brunches
of the general assembly, and their candidate for Cougress
in the western district. There is no choice of lieutenant
governor or general treasurer, and the candidate of the
united party for attorney general loses his election by ineligibility
to the office, having neglected to pay his personal-property
tax in time to qualify himself as an elector.
The (tarty in this city discoverer! his lack of qualification
on Saturday last; but they very cunningly kept the mat
ter a profound secret, Have in one or two towns, where
the name of Charles Hart was substituted on the ticket
The understanding with them now is that, the electors
having voted for him in good faith, their votes will be
counted against mo democratic candidate, ana tno ciec- 1
tion will thus bo sent to tho grand cornmitteo. There i
the name of Mr. Hurt will make its appearance, and he, *
as one of the two persons having the highest number of I
votes, will be elected. s
The American republicans, it will be seen, have failed, i
by a luck of volet, to elect their candidate for lieutenant t
governor, their candidate for general treasurer, their can
didute for Congress in the eastern district, and their can
didates for senators and representatives in this city. In
tiiese crises there is no choice. In other instances of fail
uro the democrats have triumphed. t
The majority against Mr. Saunders, tho American re H
publican candldute for lieutenant governor is 1,532. The .
majority against Mr. Parker for treasurer, is in the same
neighborhood. The majority against Mr. Robinson for K
Congress is 165 ; and the majority against the candidates '
for senator and representatives from this city falls but 1
little short t- 300.
The democrats have gained one senator and one ropre- ,
tentative in Exeter ; one senator and one representative ,
in Charleston ; two representatives in Newport, two in ; ]
Johnston, one in East Greenwich, and ono in Coventry. I c
1'hey have lost nothing. Their total gains are two sen ; {
iters and eiglit representatives. With a vote small i
iuough to be disgraceful, tliey have at least accomplished <
ill they hoped to accomplish, und perhaps we should say, |
iomcthing more. ,

AMERICANS IN ENGLAND. \
The Washington correspondent of the Pennsylvania ,
inquirer, writing to that paper from England, says : j v
?' 1 owe England and the English people a debt of ! J1
gratit ude, which 1 must be allowed to take this opportu- | '
lity to acknowledge. It lias been the almost invariable >
ustom of American travellers to complain of everything ! 11
English. Commencing with the custom-house officers at
Liverpool or Southampton, everything has gone wrongly '
villi them on the railroads, at the hotels, in the streets, 1
md, in short, through ail their peregrinations nnd asso- J'
nations. I know of no reason why I should bo an ex- j
option to the general rule, and yet I have found noth- 'J
ng to complain of or find fault with. From the moment '
placed my foot on English soil, at the landing stage of 1
Liverpool, until now that I am writing these lines, 1 "
rave met with nothing but the extreroeat kindness, ''
:ourtesy, and civility from alt classes of English society, rl
iiHi my ouhuicsh iiu? muu^ut mc in uuiiMiL.fr nmi hii ^uiuch,
toiu royality down to the humblest mechanic. Were 1 11
o leave the country to-day, I nhould do so without a ?
ingle unpleasant memory. I havecomo to theconcliiHion n
,liat if an American comes here, and maintains the char- "
icter and dignity of a gentleman, he will be sure to meet 'J
rlth corresponding treatment. But if, on the other ?
iand, ho puts on airs, and turns up his nose at every- 81
hing ho sees, lie lias no right to expect anything else 11
han a natural resentment, and an Englishman knows "
tow to exhibit this quite nu well as any one else. England a
ias sent to ofir shores a large number of visitors, whom a
re stigmatize as 'cockneys,' but I am very much afraid
hat we have also sent hither a corresponding class, who
lave not only dene us no credit na a nation, but who c
lave by their misrepresentations at home, aided in fost- 0
ring certair national prejudices against the mother ''
ountry, which arc unjust to her and unworthy of us.
^o conclude this oxordlum, I love my native land with v
he devotion of a sod, but I also love Englaud, for she >'
ias opened her arms to me like a second mother.'' "

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE. ?

[From the Richmond (Vs.) *n<iuirer, April S.j
The Williamsburg 'Gazette" publishes the following "
s the plan of the new College building, which has been P
elected by the building committee :
"The old walls will lie retained, hut the exterior and ''
uterlor of the new structure will differ from those of the | '
Id. The new edifice, or rather the renewed edifice, will "
iresent a front of one hundred and thirty six feet, which P
rill bo relic veil by two towers of the Italian slyle of v
xchitecturo. One of these towers will contain the Col- "
ege bell, the ether will be used as an observatory. The '
wo side-views will present each a front of one hundred k
root. The altitude of the now building will be much w
;reator than that of the old building. There will be no ^
lormltorics in the College, the faculty having recently * '
mrchased a house which affords ample accommodations | (1
or students. The interior of the College edifice will he I
on venient. There will be six large lecture rooms, each >'
i[Mining into nn office for a professor, and a laboratory k
vhich will present all the m<xlern Improvemente. There ! 0
rill lie a spacious room for the library, ami two splendid *

measure of far more practical importance than all the
Fugitive-slave laws that ever were passed, or all the Supreme

this very measure, which would so vastly strengthen the
position and extend the influence uf the South, that the
Mercury whistle* down the wind, pooh pooh* as au ah
rurdity, denounces as a humbug, and ridicules as a pretence.
And all this time the Mercury Is calling on the
iiouth to uulte, to arm herself against Irresistible assault,
nUd to prepare for the terrible crista so long approaching,
and now clone upon us.
The crisis, therefore, not only still lives, but is more
intensely vital than ever? at least, so tire Mercury tells
us. In 1880 the South and the North are to be arrayed
against each other in deadly oonteat ; the battle of the
lections is then to be fought for the last time, and its istue
Is to be decisive of our fate. So let it lie But can

t proposition whose effect, if realized, would be to
itrcngthen the arms of the South for licit very uontcet '
if South Carolina and Virginia wish to keep the place
they have to long tiaditionuily enjoyed as Icadcis of the

refuses her aid to a measure which enlists the earnest
lupport of almost tire entire South, and which might
reasonably be supposed to sc-cure out triumph in the

unite in fierce resistance to the protective system, just s?
f there wore ouy danger of division on that question,
while at the same moment she denounces the only urea*
ire of real utility and progress that has been proposed

that when the South determines to figbt, the will

The great Southwest is weary of South Carolina crista,
tnd broom-sedgo monopolies, and opposition to southern

lave rights and Interests juat as important as the Aliunde
slave States?rights and interests which involve the
extension and security of that very Institution of slavery
vhich South Carolina and Virginia always proclaim to tx

reightened tho pleasing impression by its pretty picture
>f little Arab children caressing a tamo horse, while tho
patriarchal Arab, his wife, and daughter, were silting
piietly at the teDt door atsunset, nnd scattered all arotiml
srere camels reposing and colts gamboling ! Like other
rleosing impressions of childhood, this, also, was disrobed
by actual experience. The encampment which
row gave us refuge w;is planted on a rich black soil,
vhich, owing to the raiu and the trampling of human
md bestial feet, had been converted into a muddy slough,
'he tents were low and black, and around each door were
lirty children paddling in puddles, and snarling curs
ighting over bones.
Happily for us, our tent was on the outskirts, and, if
brahim told the truth, was the largest and most regal in
he whole encampment. It was just about fifteen feet
ong by ten wide, made of goats' hair, and so low as
rurdly to admit of our strnding upright. A huge fire
lazed exactly in the centre, and the smoke was suffered
o make its way out as it could, by the do irway, under
ho edges of the tent, or through the gaps above. The
nly way to keep from suffocating was to lie flat on our
neks, which we did, with our feet to the fire, being arsnged
like tho spokes of a wheel. We ourselves occupied
nc half of the circle, our host, his wives and children,
nd a great multitude of guests, attracted by curiosity,
ocupying the other half, and choking up the doorway,
bout which there was a continual tight for precedence,
cside ourselves, tho tent was quite choked up with the
ousehold and agricultural stuff of our rich host; and
lie corner was entirely monopolized by a wicker encloure
containing four very active calves, which required
11 the vigilance of our host's elder wlfo to keep them
rithin their frail prison. Once, indeed, they did escape,
ud rushed like a "thunderbolt" (as some writers say of
ninety tnrougu uio scrrieu ran as oi speeuuors in mo
oorway.
Amid all these difficulties wo took our dinner, wliieb
xcltcd the amazement of the crowd, and in the progress
f which my only pair of boots were kicked into the lire
y a careless spectator and burnt to a crisp.
After this we spent the evening in talking over the nd
entities of the day, and gossiping with our host's
oiinger wife, who, jauntily dressed, seemed to have
othiug to do hut sit and scrutinize us carefully. The
ldcr wife was evidently the drudge, and what time she
mid spare from watching the calves she spent in stiring
vigorously her lord's broth.
The question as to how and where wo were to sleep
its a curious one. It was finally settled by an appronation
to our exclusive use of half the space usually ocupied
by the Arab and his family. They made their
eds on the top of the household stuff, and we ours on
lie top of the agricultural implements. As there was
uly room for five in a row, closely packed, I was comelled
to take my position at their feet., with a cart,'hccl
for my pillow, and so subject to all the kicks
diicli uneasy dreams are apt to produce. With my feet
tuning iu the lire, and my head freezing, while the rain
ept dripping into my face from the leaky roof, there
ras no possibility of sleep, and so I had the whole night
0 observe what was going on about mo. All night long
he wind kept howling dreadfully, and the rain poured
own without ceasing.
On one side of the fire, in the centre of the tent, driven
1 by stress of weather, stood a cow and a donkey,
eeplng company with one of our muleteers, who had
ntrrod surreptitiously and uninvited. On the other side
it, our host, holt, upright . Whether this was in honor

I will endeavor bow to mall* amend* for my neglect
by writing you a l.rhg letter, and will try to comply with
soihe of your various requests by giving an account of
myaatf, and of the various adventures that have hoptoad
to me and to the party. The date of your letter was the
day after Christinas, nod 1 can aaaure you that, though (
I am very grateful to you for your Uud wiahaa respecting
that day, It was anything hut a happy one I wrote home
some time ago a partial account of our trip over the .
plains, which I suppose was sent to you from W. I will
not, therefore, give you any detailed account of what
htppet?ad to us when we hint started from Fort Smith
We were delayed in the beginning by our being obliged
to wait for the escort, which did not leave Furt Smith for
1 a week after we took our departure.
We started with but forty days full rations for our
party, sad we very auou found that a great mistake had
been made, for we had been out but twenty days wbea
it was discovered that it would take us at least seventy '
days to reach Albuquerque, and as soon as the fact was
' i reported to " the chief," (Lieutenant Beale,) he directed
1 ( the coin mbleary sergeant to issue only Kilf ratnont In fu
, tore.
We soon found that what we had heard and read about
1 | the hardships that were sometimes to 1)0 endured lu a j
i trip over the plains in winter time was in no resjieet ex- j
aggerated, for 1 cau truly say that until then 1 had never ,
i conceived any idea of tits reality. Tbeeold was intense
nearly the whole time, und we weie several times brought
j to u halt by the severe "northers" and snow storius we i
; encountered. You cannot -imagine the severity of a
j "norther" on the plains ; indeed, it would be folly to
alterapt to describe it, for nettling hut experience could j
give any one a proper idea of the truth. 1 will, however, :
' endeavor to describe one of the most severe that we met
; with. When we were almost twenty-live days on our
route we struck the waters of the Washita river, and that
evening cue .mped under a high bluir ou the bunks of the ,
1 river, in the midst of a very heavy snow-storm. Soon
1 after we hud our tents up and our fires built the storm i
increased in severity. It commenced to blow very hard,
; and at tire same time hail-stones of very large sire were
mingled with the falling snow,
j 1 do not think 1 ever experienced such cold as T did
that night while on guard. My guard came on at ten
o'clock and continued uutii twelve. Part of the time I
was compelled to lie down on the ground to avoid being
blown into the river, and 1 may safely say my two hours
M i uied at least six. Wlran our "relief" came out we
found that two of the guard were nearly dead with cold,
ami I firmly believe thut if we had remained out two
! b"iui longer they never would have reached camp alive.
, Hut we soon forgot all our sufferings when once more we
crept beneath our blankets in our tents, and sleep gave
us a temporary relief from our gloomy forebodings of
what was in store for us ahead. The next morning when
I j "camp ' was called, we found that the storm had, if any
tiling, Increased iu severity, and as tbo animals had suffered
so much during the night that they were hardly able
to draw the wagons, "the chief *' concluded to remain
i j quiet that day, fur tile purpose of giving them some
1 littic rest We passed nearly the whole day beneath the
shelter of onr tents, doing little, if anything, and coni
I grntulating ourselves that wo were not on the route,
j During the next night the storm moderated, and when
- ' the sun rose it shone in u sky without ti cloud. That
I ' morning we made an early start, and by the time that
j the sun Was on the horizon wo were on our route,
i When we first started, we diverged from the river on
to a slight Iy undulating prairie, covered with the grass
i peculiar to this region, the tall, feathery tops of which
were covered with tire snow, looking in the sunlight, as
the breeze gently agitated them, like some vast lako of
molten silver, and reminding me more of some descriptions
in the Arabian Nights than anything that I can
well imagine. I only wish 1 was ca|rable of giving you
even a faint idea of the reality, for it was certainly the
most beautiful sight it has ever been my good fortune to
behold, and excited the admiration of everyone in the
train as we proceeded onwards. However, we were not
destined to enjoy it long, for soon some very ominouslooking
clouds appeared in the northwest, and it was not
a very great while beforo wc wero suffering "all the ills
man's flesh is heir to" while journeying over the plains
in winter time. I think 1 never saw a stranger sight than
the npproach of that storm. First, to the northwest, was
seen a dull grey mist gradually ascending, which soon
covered the whole sky, giving everything a most sombre
aspect, and making the mercury of our spirits fall far below
the aero point in a very short time, boon after was
seen piling up on the horizon bank after bank of dark,
heavy clouds, interspersed here and there with those
beautifully wliito clouds you some times see oil the breaking
up of a snow storm at home, which continued for
some time apparently stationary, while the breeze died
| away, leaving everything quiet so far as the eye could
see.
In the morning the storm had been at our hacks, but
in a little while there commenced blowing in our faces
the coldest wind you can imagine, and it was not long
before we hod a repetition of tlio weather of the previous
week.

Klnco writing the above I have been unable to continue
my letter, on account of my having been on a trip up
the oonntry for the last two days. Several of us received
an invitation, the other day, to a wedding at "Anton
Chlco," which, as a matter of course, wo immediately
accepted. It was not my first visit to the town, and
therefore, as I had no curiosity to gratify, 1 very quietly
settled myself down by the fire, with a box of cigars, &< .,
by my side, and enjoyed myself us much as could Ik; expected
under the circumstances. About 8 o'clock Lieut,
it., witli whom I had been staying, enmo in the room
and informed mc that If I wns anxious to see tlie cere
i mony, we nau uener go over wi uie nousu. ronowing
his suggestion, wc soon arrived at the resilience of the
pair, and to our regret found that wo were too late, as it
was intended that the twain should lie made one at the
church. However, we consoled ourselves with the refreshments
which we found in abundance, and before
long we heard the approach of the happy Couple, preceded
by music, and in a very short tiino the rooms were
lilird with the guests, and almost immediately the dancing
commenced.
There was one tiling that surprised mo very much,
when the bride first came into the room she was dressed
entirely in black, with black ornnmonts. After the
dancing had commenced she disappeared, hut shortly
returned, and was then arrayed entirely In white, jewelry
to match. She was a very pretty girl, very much like
Miss 0 in appearance, only not so handsome, and
reminded m? more of an American than any of tho
women 1 have over since 1 have been in New Mexico.
I must, confess that I have Is-en greatly disappointed in
regurd to tho beauty in this country. 1 had expected to
see the dark S|ianisli style in perfection, but found, to my
surprise, that- very few of flu in could compare with the
most ordinary looking of our American girls. I wish 1 1
could give yon an idea of tlreir darn ing, but as I am
afraid that I cannot make myself understood, 1 will not
attempt it.
Waits is tho national dance, and the women are certainly
the most graceful and the best waltzers I have
ever seen. The step is different from tiist we dance at
home, and at first I found it difficult, but soon caught l
the time, and before long was able to get around the !
room without any mistakes
Wo will be very busy for the next two or throo days I
loading tire wagons and getting everything ready to con 1
I tinue on our route to the Colorado. We expect to leave |
j here as soon as "the chief" returns from Santa Kc, and j
! we will leave Alhiimicraiifl en roulf. about the lirst of ;
March.

Americans begin nt length to i relieve this good old iM
maxim. Nowadays the gentleman who builds a house
for himself or to rent to others would as soon think of /
dispensing with a parlor or a front door a? with a bath- 'fl
room. See at what coat pure water in supplied to all our H
great cities, and how bathing houses for the public and H
the poor begin to multiply. The Amerlean mind is keenly H

and a full pocket constitute all, or nearly all. lb " u jflj
tiai elements of happiness here below, and go far hov e 11

Perhaps we do not carry matters so far as Mr. Wnlkrr, f
the hygeian humorist, who, after a thWougli oourse of &
hatliing, declared that his skin was so clean that no iin- K
purity should stick to it, and maintained that It was sn F
absurdity to wash a face or a Is sly that, was of necessity If
always clean. Still we have all liecome more or less ...n
verted to the doctrine of practical hydropathy at home,
trusting less to "water cures," arranged a It kapiktl, upon
the system of friesnitts, than to the daily application of
water, hot or cold, to the whole person, and under the
direction of no doctor but our own common sense Of '
the hundreds and thousands of Americans who accord to
water all the virtues claimed for it, the majority incline
to water on mitnr.it;in preference to water heated or at all
medicated. It is also well understood that the use of cold
water must lie adapted to the strength of the constitution
and its capacity to react upon the shock occasioned by iU
application. With this restriction. It is generally held
that cold water is beneficial alike to old and young, from
the newly.bom infant to "the lean and slippered pantaloon,"
suns teeth, sans eyea, sans overythiDg.
Very recently an entlroly new doctrine has been broach?d,
and one of mm li Importance. An anonymous writer
in the last number of the Democratic Age contends that
eohl water is good enough in its way, bat that the fffix ts .
of v Mvrfer ii()on the debilitated system are peculiar, and
