GiutleiMPN : While I have not withheld
permission from any of the renresrntatives of
tbe press to visit tbe camni in Virginia: and
while I ara as much the in. cost, lanlalag
advocate f an ansmckled press, as 1 am of
the freedom of speech, snd of the indepen
dence of the Confederate S'ates; yet I have
thought it proper under existing circumstan
ces, to make an appeal to you to forbear from
the tranam'ssion and publication cf su-'a in
telligence a m'ht be detrimental to ttie great
cause in wb cb we all feel so deep an interest.
You are aware of the grea' amoi.n' of val
uable information obtained by us tbp ugh the
medium of tbe enterprising journals of the
bonh; and w. may deiive profit from thiir
example, by a discriminating and judicious
reerve in communications for tbe ecu.hern
journals.
It must be obvious that statements of
strength, or of weakness, at any of the poiu's
in the iciht'y of tbe enemy, when re-produced
in tbe North, as tby would be, in spite of all
tbe vigilance in our power, would warn them
of dan.'.T -o theinaelven, or invite an ttck
jpon us; and la like manner any statements of
'h maai.it.ide of bs'tcries; of the quantify and
q lality of arms, or of ammnrdtioi:; of move
ments in progress, or in supposed contempla
ti' r; of the condition of troops; of the commis
sariat, etc , might be fraught with esse: tia!
injury to the service.
To eentlemcn of intelligence, and of unquea
ttonabir loyalty to the cause cf the Co ifedrrat
States, I do not deem it necessary to be more
explicit: nor can I doubt for a moment that you
w II appreciate my motives in making this
frank appeal to your prtriattaa and discretion.

To unteer State a few days stnee convinced us
that our individual appierintjon of Tenness-e
has never been equal to i's merits. We sre
nov satisfied that t' is emphatically a greuf
Stale, and that Ihe Ssuthern Confederacy
could never have got' en a og writ without it.
We do indeed regard it as one of 'he most val
uable and indispensable stars upon lbe Con
federate flag. The portionsthrouh which we
traveled ''resent the grand spec ac!e of one
vast wheat field. Millions of buhels have
been harvested from tbe present year'a crop.
and the same will be the case from the corn
crop. The aoil i peculiar'y adap'ed to grain,

Aside from he indispensable produc's of

not willingly, as a Southerner, be dei rived of
the privilege of boasting of ber g'and moun
tain scenery which, iu our opinion, is not sur
psssed in he world.
And lastly, though by no means Jpast, her
brave and gallant sons could not have been

in this grand strike for Scii'hern independence.
Hr sons, noble and true as the sun ever shone

with eye biggef than ever, wag standing at
nurte's knee, evidently trying to solve tbe
qurs'inn whether baby's fists were douhled "p
o hit him a "uncti or to snub tm own nose ;ne
wrong way of the world.
A bran new baby! Do you know what i's
advent Is into the heart and home of a happy
family? The rao her laying upon that bed of
suffering which reduces all women, from the
queen to tbe b 'ggar, to the same common level
r humanity; e mother 'hat we approach so
reverently, feeling that a human soul has beerr"
ent from heaven via ber maternal bosom, and
that from her hand he who s"nt it will re
quire a strict account of i's guardianship
while pas.i;g its lire through this world of
chance and change.
What a responsibility! I tb,sk we are s"l-
lorn con-rious of it, or if we were, we, who
knvw to its core every throb of tbe great
work's heart, wbohave lived through i'as'orm
and calm, who knew how unsubstantial its
pleasures, how poignant its woe I say, could
w know the responsibility o" transplanting to
its sunshine and its shsde, one Bingle blossom
from the garden of God, we should pray to h
pared that trust we miirht so ineffectually
fullfil.
But then to see our new baby our beautiful
mystery; to see everybody tiptoeing in every
body but Tommy, who never having been ac
customed to walking on egg, don't exactly
see why he should begin now 'o se them all
so gleeful over baby, go pitiful over "mamma,
poor mamma!" lying there go pale and wan
to see them jolrir g pap, and calling I dm ".
terrible fel.ow," t which Ii tie Tomm, is in
dignant. and think it wonlri't be well for
Mr. Grundy to ca'1 him uch a hard nme.
Whit an interest we take in babies in general,
not tuat we 'funk anything in that line cr.utd
hold a candle with ours; and what jokes we
tell about otnr people's babies, until our
laughte- warns the tiirie; who warns us to be
more quiet or leavr; to be sura, the laughter is
generally conhned to I oimiy and I, for mam
ma only smiles the tiniest ghost ofj a smile;
Tommy makes up for it, however, laughing so
loud and go long, arttOonttBe remotest itea
where tb lai rh come in, 'hat only 'be in
dulgence of a rouh and-tumb." g imer"t can
cool tiff his merriment; at th exhibi'ion of
which enormity the nurse gives him a different
kind of propeller, which sends turn cr mg to
the kitchen. Mairms sa-. "poor 1 ommy,"
am! iapa immediately starts for him.
In a fe v minu'ea he ri turns with tommy
and a pair or re: eyes, wry maniuiiy assert
ing that papa's biy wasn't e-oir g to have bis
nose put out or joint ror an the babies in tne
world! Then mamma smiles on papa, and
papa, when he thinks I don't see him, smilei.
on her, and takes her poor, bloodless band anri
presses it to bis 1 ps, and places it in his bo
som, till poor me, who don't see him anybovr,
who wouldn't be hired to see bitn. and who
hag live I long enough in the world to kne .
when to gee and when n t to see, chi ke up tbe
wor3t kind, make up for my chamber, ai.d
have jut a magnificant crv with nothing in
tbe world to cry for, only because iverythirg
i so affecting ; the sick-room, in itsqir-tud',
the helpless Utile creature in i's cradle, and
papa and man-.ma over their new born affec
tion. Oh ! I tell yon a man never is a man, UN
? bit of human'ty, bone of bis bone, flesh of
his flesh, lays belptes in his arms. He never
know himself, till the dear one has chosen
out of the world to walk with him the i ilgrim
aire of life, l es for the fir t time '-efore him,
weak and pale, with this morsel of humanity
upon ber bosom. The promise thev make to
their own hearts that no wrong of their doing
hall ever give a pang to that gentle spirit ;
'hat no paths of pleasure shall be bright
enough to lure their feet from the portals i f
home; that no word of unkindne-g shall ever
give pain to the mother of their child. But
alas ! ('here mtmt be an end to everything in
this world), new babies get to be old stories ;
freeh promises fade in the light of fresher
plensnreg and men, hehg " inconglg enf
ever," would require a frerb baby every week
or tw o to make them toe the mark of all the
nromlsfs thev go inconsiderately make; and!
a it wou'd ae rather it convenient for us to
accommodate ourselves to Biirh requirements,
we must take the will for the derd, and re.ak
the mot of their repentance for tbe past, and
good resolves for the future, while the motives
for these resolution last. Babies are a great
inti'ufion, though; at least, ours ial Gay

Some week or tan days ago a young man,
originally from the eojntry, became engaged
to marry a yaut.g lady squal to bim in rank an I
fortute. She was a Parisian. He occupie a
lucrative place in one of our railway com
pany i officej hern. Her father l.veg on the
family estate, which is situated in one of the
mounta:n gorges noar the Ffancorspanish
frontier, and sptirated almost entirely from
the world. He bad passed for a widower
about twenty' years. The young man paid a
visit to the old family seat, where, indeed be
was accustomed to spend his summer vaca
Mona, to calleet the intniasen Me documents the
French law requires the officer who performs
the marriages t have in bis hsnds before he
stamps the civil contract made before hi-n
wi'h it Mi'dean snd Ptrsian rparae'er. v
He 'ked his fathet for bis m itber's burial
certificate. Tbe fatbei was rx remely em
barrassed by this appeal ; but no bands could
be published until tbe burial certifi-a'e had
been lodged at tbe ms yor's office, where the
marriage wag to be eontractrd. Tbe father nt
last broke 'he silence, javii g :
"Mv dear bov, I have for a great many
years concealed a secret from yon. because its
possession would proire a painful burhn 'o
you, because the honor cf our house is inter
ested in its mainterunce, and your tender
yea's have hitherto rendered you incapable of
preserving it. Your moth-r liveg. She is a
luna'ic. Come witr. me and I'll let you gee
hT.
H carried his pon, who w as Iremb'ing with
emotion, into sn o'd tower which fotined part
of the architecture f the chateau, and they
went to tbe top ef it. Tbe chamber on the
'ast floor was the lunatic's cell. He opened
the door, the son entered, and kneeling at the
poor woman's feet, gobbed :
"Mother! mother!" In a most heart rend
ing manrrr. Thrse touching appeais, which
would hrt ve more I stone idols almot, made
no impression on tbe poor lunatic. Her s'are
con'inued as aca Dt am! tier li aa speechless
Merer. The sen, bis sou! sick 8t the sad
spectacle, there jently upbraided his father
for denying him the melancholy aolace if shar
ing the attention be, his fa. her, hail bestowed
on bis wreck for so many year.i. The lather
repeated the excuse he had given of his son's
youth and the impoitance of the secret to the
family happinesi.
Itb came necessary to avow this misfortune
to the bride's fa. iilv, and they naturally de
aired to sec for themselves, as the story that
the-wife wag dea 1, and the atory that she was
crazy, seemed eomethirg awkward, which
neded explanation. Several members of tbe
family went down to the distant chateau, and
'he poor lunatic was introduced. As soon as
gbe saw heiself surrounded by witnesseg, ghe
sgbl i a calm tone i
"I am not mad. My husband becoming the
prey of unreasonable jealousy, and I being
helpless and alone in this secluded mansion,
to escape his continual scenes of violence, and
to avoid t';e fear that I was continually under
of being ansastina'ed by him, (he tbrea'ene 1
more than once to kill me) I eav, I feigned
madnegs in the hope of enjoying something
like quiet. I preferred languishing in prison
all my life, to being hourly harassed by these
dreadful scenes of jealousy."
You m y imagine the effect of this declara
tion. The persons assembled thought at first
this accusation was but an additional evidence
of the distracted state of her mtnd, for mad
ness often borrows reason's mask, and wears
it so well as even to deceive the most practiced
pbysxians of the mind. The faculty wag ap
pealed to. Before they could decide, her
brisdand, who bad been in a sta'e of agitation
ever gince bis wife charged bim wth ber
sequestration, becamer.ivtng mad. H paper
were inspected, end it appeared that he had
been crazy a monomaniac his phrenzy

in -id house, and bi9 wife "igned the marriage

A young friend of ours, who " puts up " at
a two dollars n. fi'iy cents hoarding bouse,
relates tbe following incident, which may
if ard a useful bint ti those ladies who under
take to provide nutriment fr boarders with
strong gtouiacbs and weak puraeg.
One day last wiek, saya our friend, the
goup produced for our noon-tide meal was
unusually rich and unctuous, possessing a
flavor which proved conclusively that an x
ra quantity of meat had been used in the
preparation.
Tbe boarders wcr all very much surprised
and delighted, bu' tbe landlady seemed to be
ss pleased with their frequent draughts upon
'he tureen.
A short time aft r dinner, our friend, lap
pening to pass by tbe ki'chen, overheard bis
hostess rat ing the cook for having put too
much of the shin of tbe beet in the loup
kettle :
" Half of it "gi 'd the economical provider,
"would have be n quite enough for eight
boarders, that pay no more than tbey djfor
their 'victuals."
" I didn't put hf If the shin in, ma'am, says
tha cook."
"Ye needn't tell me that story," cried tbe ex
cited old lady. "I know you've been wasting
the mea' ; eo j -ist I ake the ladle and dip up the
bones, ami then ve'll see whether I'm a I ar or
you're mistaken.''
Ive cook obeyi d, and after diving the iauie
down two or th: ee times in tbe ketth, idle
brought up somi thing which explained tbe
mystery.
"Lor. ma'am, I see how 'tis," she said: "kit
ten has been ju nping "bout the kettle and
dropped in, an' it 's all boiled up in the broth "
"Bless me ! ' cried the hostess, "so it is ! "i
Then, after a cotsiderable pause, ghc rdded:
"Cook, hare you any more ki"ena? We
mtgat drop one n, you know, every time we
have a soup dinntr. You wouhl't belie'te how
the boarders ieened to like it."
Our friend pat sed to hear no more, but start
ed out to seek aro'.ber boarding house,
Tbe Life a.id Deatb of Sheridan.
Tbe last yean of Sheridan's life are mourn
ful to contemplate. Age brought bim sickness
and woe. His old friends were dead : he was
alienated fron his party ; he had lost his
property; be had lost that royal fnvor in
which was his l8t hope. The rich and great
who bad threnged around him in his yrogper
ity, fell off n.iw and 1-ft him "naked to his en
emies " Byron was in a foreign land. Moore
and Rogers did what they did to smooth the
pillo v of tbe riving man. Ad thus, old and
poor, sick and miserable, tie went down to
that rolling darkness which ha! gathered ov'
tbe por'alg of the torah. It wag a sun which
rose in golden gplendnr,"vbich blaz-d in me
ridian gio-y, and which, finally, tbrnagh clouds
and storm, sunk away into its solemn res .
It wag a lif which began in health, hope and
ardent vigor ; which in manhood wa full of
prosperiry and honor, and wb-ch ended in dig
appoini nrn', denil and utter despair.
The fuieral of Sherdan was an itroosing
pageant. Throngs of the great and titied fol
lowed him to Weatminsfer Abbey. Two
earls, .o lords, a bishop and duke were his
pall bearers The princes of the blood-royal,
numerous noblemen, as mourners, arrayed in
"he Mapping and suits of woe." Moore,
whose ard-nt spirit scorned thi mockery, re
bukes tbe heartless cruelty which could suffer
a g eat man to die of want, ind Hun follow
bim fal pr.mp to bis grave.
SIAUhU,
'.f you find a man circulating mi'.icious re
pt rts about his neighbor, it may te set down
s nn inviolable rul that any suc'.i person is
iiehonest. Hot only dishonest, but, from bi
infamous diRpr.-u'ion, dangerous to all with
whom be may be acquainted. Hi cfrcnlates
false impressions, and sets people upon an er
roneous course of judgment and conduct in
respect to others, wbick. may frequently be
ruinous to their prosperity. It r'nes a general
injury to society, more than to t'le party slan
dered, a it destroys eotriUakKt. The man
who i fc'iiil y of circulating rni'.icion reports
must ceriKinlv be Hecei ful, anil therefore dis
hnest; he must l e atnr. loi e l t- every prin
c'pte of moral feeling. Iu ancient times, when
a mm w-s convicted af being a slanderer, he
was s'o: d to death a? being a Janger and a
curse to the who'e Cfunaunitjr. Ia m.v'ern
times there is area a better remedy tban this
it is 'o ceise nil communication .with such
characters. Trf a' them like lepers, abandon
thern tn their own kir d, which is a social
death, one which rcay -rve a sn eairr.ple to
others. This rule is observed iaaoeig all in
telligent penpte, and should be invariably car
ried out in this place. Er,
The Hrni'c is Caanrosf LrrK. In a re
cent lecture Grace Grecnwiod g-ire the fol
h.winc ircide.'it, said to have occurred at the
time of the burniug of a 1 e-imer on one of our
western lakes. It is one among the thousand
of the beautiful inc datnta which reveal the he
roic in common life :
'Among tbe few passengers whcue courage
and perseverance of mind rosf superti.-- to all
the horrors of that fcight, was a mo'ttf who
succeeded in savin?: her two children brmeans
of s floating settee. Fcr hours, till help csme,
she cheered arid comforted the shivering,
frightened little creature, sustaining her
self meanwhile in the wa'er by merely resti
lngiierciunon rue rran support, i nis moiner
rrlited that once, as they wer" floating near
'.lie burning wreck, a man swam toward them,
looking spent and desperate. 8eein2him about
to grasp the setlee, she cried, "O, do not take
it away from my poor I ttle children !" The
roan made no answer, yet the appeal struck
home for, by tbe light of the flame, she
could see that his face was convulsed as with
a fierce struggle between the migb'y Instinct
of nature and some'hing better and manlier.
It was but a moraent. He threw nu his arms
with a groan of renunciation, flung himself
over backward, and went down."
