Gentleman : I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance, but read with much gratification bo paper Conducted by you. It is strikingly shiewd, diBcriminating, and contains at 18 UBe<ul and entertaining; so tbat I often count the hours that are to pass before it again arrives at my door. j I wish?and it is wholly my object in writing? say a word ah to tbe extract in your paper ! quoted a week or two ago from a speech of Mr! Secretary btuort, relative to his determination to employ no Abolitionists in his Department. ^ow,.Ih^n9t the slightest knowledge oven of J.he petaoirot Mr. Stuart, but feel towards him as 1 should towards any other man whom I W lieve to be misrepresented to hia injury, as I think Mr. S. is, in the various animadversions communicated to the public through the Tele graph, on the speech in question. 1 ftilly understood, from the first, Mr. Stuart to advance the idea, and only so, that he would not employ in his Department any Abolitiohist, o/ the character that is note engaged in opposition to the law as to fugitive slaves. Mr. S. surelv means no more than this. He cannot possibly have any thing against a man who merely wishes that slavery in this country may, in some way consistant with the Constitution and the Union cease. Such opinion is involuntary with many' and sorely not culpable, or deserving of any ex elusion from public employment, if the idea is entertained subject to an honest accordance in every way and act, with the faithful execution of the Constitution and laws. The point is simply here : The preservation ot the Union is now the great, vital and absorb ing interest of the country; and the Fugitive Slave Law is the very life-blood of this political being; for take away this, and the Union is gone forever?gone, gentlemen, gone ! Is not Mr. Stuart right, then 1 Why, were I in the public employ, and did I allow myself to express only opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law, 1 should deem it the duty of the head of the Department in which I might be, instantly to removo me, and such, in all candor, should 1 say after my removal. This is not intolerance, but justice and necessity. The sutyect of the Lniou is one of terrific interest?it is the inter est of a world! and the country and the world should feel obliged to Mr. Stuart, or any other man, for upholding it against all its enemies in office. These arc a few of my thoughts, very hast ily penned.^ I am a northern man, and re gret the existence of slavery, and hope that it may, in some way consistent with the prosperity of our Union, be so ordered by an over-ruling 1 rovidenco as to cease, and that before any great length of time. Let us abide by the Union, and leave the South to themselves, exccpt to support, when we properly may, some course of manumission on their part, which may redound both to their interest and their glory. An Iju-autial Observe*. We would venture to suggest that the defence offered by our correspondent would have sig nificance and influence if accompanied with the assurance of Mr. Stuart's approval. Transient IVewapnjiers, ''Cheap Posf nK?V' Ate., 4fcc. To the hditors of the American Telegraph. Okntlemkn : Tho 2d section of the new post age Jaw, after prescribing the rates chargeable upon " newspapers not exceeding three ounces in weight, sent to actual and bona-fide subscri bers," provides: And there shall be charged upon every other newspaper, and each circular not sealed, handbill,, engraving, pamphlet, periodical, mag azine, book, and every other description of pi in ted matter, which shall be unconnected with any manuscript or written matter, and which it may be lawful to transmit through the mail, of no greater waight than one ounce, for any distance not exceeding 600 miles, one cent." . . . . . It would seem that the true intent and mean ing of the foregoing is, that there shall be charged upon " every, other, newspaper," for any distance under 500 miles, one cent; and also, upon "each circular not sealed, handbill," &0., &c., of no greater weight than one ounce, one cent for the same distance; and a careful reading of the section will scarce warrant any other construction. The comma after the word " newspaper,"and the words which immediately follow?"and each circular not sealed," Ac.

Jvly 9, 1861. "Stamps." For th? American Telpgntpli. I congratulate my fellow-cititens of the Dis trict of Columbia that we have at length in our midst a truly independent journal?one which, while it has a scrupulous regard for those pro prieties and courtesies which adorn editorial as well as social life, at the same time does not hesitate to speak the truth boldly and fearlessly, censuring profligacy and corruption wherever found, whether in high places or low. Such a paper we have in the American Telegraph; as such it deserves the countenance and support of every one who has a regard for public mo rality, and of every lover of truth and justice. Subject to no control but that of its worthy and talented proprietors; revolving around no clique, and no clique revolving around it?it affords a bright exemplar of what a public journal should bo. It is wedded to no particular class, but upholds the interests of all, sustaining with a master-hand the rights and dignity of labor against the oppressions of aristocracy or the voracious demands of capital. Such a paper deserves the support and encouragement of our citizens; indeed it would be a discredit to the National Metropolis if it should not bo sup ported handsomely and liberally. Let all then come forward and enter their names as patrons. We have a paper worthy of us?let us prove ourselves worthy of it. Fair Plat. Impvoexce.-?At the Jenny Lind concert at Hartford, a police officer was sent into the church during the performance, by the mob, and made a proposition that the rioters had cousented to keep quiet., if Jenny would show herself before them. In addition to other annoyances, seats were fitted ?p 0n the roofs of houses and sheds adjoining the church, by the owners thereof, and sold at fifty cents to one dollar each.

By their very great sim plicity they can even be mado by the pupils needing them. Several boys not long since made some dividers of wood, fitted with a point pencil, and pen, which they found to answer a good purpose. By making smooth and straight a thin piece of board, with inches marked on it, the scale is provided. By setting a pair of dividers with the points distant just six inches, an equilateral triangle, with sides of that length can o rawn in an instant?say on pasteboard.

Kxperimekts.?Several boys, much noted as truants, were not long since put in charge of a lady, who provided for them various kinds of work, including both using and making the scale, dividers, and triangle. In that school not one was known as a truant. Their drawing and other work soon became the admiration of their parents, many pieces of which were con tributed for sending abroad to let their light shine. These same boys, on being transferred to another school, where "Book Lessons" were only given, again became truants?rather de serters fVom school?their parents entirely fail ing to secure their attendance. | A Great Invention.?Tl.o Albany Argtu de scribes a newly-invented machine for planing | wood, which is now in operation in that city. | "says: Nothing heretofore invented approaches it, either in respect to the speed with which it does its work, or tho accuracy of sutface and finish which it gives to every thing which passes through it in the shape of a plank or board A rough board, placed within its vortex, comes out as even and polished as a mirror, to the drivini th? w a n)!nut??Rnii this without ng the machine.

It is pro I 1 iic ive, and attains a prodigious size, even 1 upon the poorest sandy land, and tho roots remain without change from the time of taking them out of the ground until the following May. The plant is singularly easy of cultivation, growing equally well from the slip or vine, tho I top or vine of the full-grown plant being re ' markably small; the inside is as white as snow. It is dry and mealy, and the saccharine princi ple contained resembling iu delicacy the liavor I of fine virgin honey. For the American Telegraph. Public Schools?Mta?r$. E<ktor?; I cannot doubt but the arrangement to award to the pu pils of the public schools something of the char acter of diplomas, as a substitute for medals . and premiums, will do some good and prevent much evil. The awarding of medals can at most affect very few. Of those few the greater part must be disappointed, and some be soured liy a supposed or conscious injustice done them. The fortunate competitors may, after all, re ceive more injury than benefit, though animated by a temporary gratification. Having seen > much of the practical workings of medals and kindred rewards of merit, 1 am fully convinced that diplomas, certificates, or something within , the reach of all, have a tendency to ao more good and less evil than a few more Bhining mttfef awarded to a very small number of for tunate competitors f and those fisw, perhaps, more from aceidentul ciroumstanoes than well-? established justice. At least the wisdom of the trustees of the schools, in making the arrange ment I saw noticcd in your paper a day or two since, is not doubted by II. -Aitecting Suicide.?The Cork Constitution gives the following romantic and affecting ac count of a soldier in tho frenzy of love: Some weeks since a privato soldier of the 40th regi ment, quartered in the garrison, named Alfred Winstanley, an Englishman about twenty-eight years of age, became acquainted with a young woman named Wary Low, the daughter of a military pensioner. Ilis proposal of marriage was accepted, with the proviso that he got leave to marry from his commanding officer. This he was reluctant to ask, for some cause which re mains unexplained; and her parents, considering it imprudent to sanction the marriage of their daughter under any other condition, determined to conclude the intimacy between her and Win stanley, by sending her on a visit to an uncle in London. On the 25th of June he got leave to remain out of barracks until eleven o'clock, and visited Low's house, where he remained nntil half-past ten. During this time he learnt that Mary was to leave Cork the next morning at seven o'clock, by the Ajax steamer for London. He returned to barracks within his leave, and reporting himself, scaled the walls and escaped, and again returned to Low'b and entreated to be admitted, but was refused, though he threat ened, if not, to throw himself into the river. Early the next morning be again endeavored to gain admittance into Low's, but was refused, and eventually left, declaring he would destroy him self. He then went into an adjacent house and borrowed a breakfast cup. From this he pro ceeded to the oil and color shop of Mr. Dennis Connor, in the North Main street, where he asked for a half-pint of oil of vitriol, for, as he . said, removing stains from his cross-belts. Ilav , ing got the vitriol in the cup, he hurried along , Kyrl's Quay to Levitt's Quay, where he met . Mary Low, with ber mother and sisters, on their . way to the steamship. In a frenzied manner [ ho asked her, 41 If she would deceive him?if . she was about to leave him who was so fond of . her?" She moved on, and he followed, and, . holding up the cup, said, " Mary, you know I j love you, and if you don't stop and marry me this j will end my existence. You know 1 can't live ? without you, and this must put me out of pain." r Her mother then pushed her from him, when he . immediately drank tho vitriol, threw the cup into the river, and leaped several feet from the ground, screaming frightfully. At this moment a private soldier of the 84th regiment came up, when Winstanley, pointing after Mary Low, said, "There?there she is ; she's the cause of it all; it is she's to blame." Acting constable Edward then came up and removed the unfor tunate man to the North Infirmary, where he was at once attended by Dr. Popham and Sur geon Gordon, who administered carbonate of magnesia and the usual antidotes, but the cor rosive effects of the poison were so immediate as to render all efforts unavailing. Dr. Hiverty, tho surgeon of tho 40tb, subsequently saw him, and continued, with Doctor Popham, to attend him until his death, which took place at two o'clock yesterday morning, after in describable suffering, which he bore with patience. During Thursday, although writh ing with pain, he asked of every person who entered the ward in which he lay, "Is Bhe coming? for if 1 get but one glimpse of her it will remove all my pain, and 1 Bhall die easy." Deceased had a medal and star for several en gagements in India, where he had served with credit. Bloomkbism is Lowell.?The Lowell factory girls turned out in procession on the 4th of July, all dressed in the Bloomer costume. Dur ing the day a banner was presented by the girls to one of the tire companies; and in the evening, a large company, the girls included, sat down to a sumptuous entertainment. The following was one of the toasts offered on the occasion: "The Lowell Operatives in Bloomer Cos tume?Was Solomon, in all his glory, arrayed like one of these? For though they dress like the editor of the Lily, yet they are not lilies, for they both toil and spin." Biubkrt and Corruption.?A letter from Albany, N. V., dated July 3d, says: " It is publicly reported about the capital to day that a large contractor offered Mr. Chat field, Attorney General, ten thousand dollars if ho would not institute any proceedings testing the constitutionality of the canal bilL Mr. Elderkin alluded to the report in debate in the House this morning. Mr. Chatfield, it is said, openly avows that such an offer has been made, but at present declines to expose the name of the person who made the offer." The U. S. steamer Mississippi, Commodore Morgan, had left Naples at last dates, for the East, and was understood to be placed entirely nt the service of General Kossuth, should the Sublime Porte be disposed to liberate him. One hundred dollars have been offered through the American Tract Society for the best tract against the use of tobacco. Time for competi tors until tho 1st of November. Tho soil of the Territory of Minnesota is said to be admirably adapted to the culture of flax.
