Select Sdoni; V'hY,. THE soi.ptrnrs LETTER. * BY T. S. ARTlirit. " When did you hear from Thomas ?" A young lady ha t stopped at the door of a small house, standing on the outskirt ofa vil lage in Pennsylvania, and asked this question of a woman who sat working on a coarse gar inenfj '•lt's moro than two months since I've had a word from him," replied the woman in a half-troubled, half-complaining tone. Then rising, she added, " Won't you come in Miss Annie?" The young lady accepted the invitation, and as she took a proffered chair, said, " Two months is a long time not to have heard from your son, Mrs. Rogers. Where is he ?" The last news I had, came from Williams burg just after the battle, lie sent me three or four lines, to say that he wasn't hurt." " And you've hoard nothing rince V " Nothing Miss Annie. He may he dead, or a prisoner, for all I know. Oh. dear ! dear ! It's worrying the very life out of me." When did you write to him last?" in quired the young lady. Mrs. Rogers moved uneasily, and a shame flush covered her face, as she replied, " 1 haven't taken a pen in my fingers these five years. They're all cramped with hard work, and I couldn't write fit to be seen." " A single line from your hand, Mrs. Rog ers, blotted and scrawled though it might hAva would hive otiu# So f In "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAPS RIGIIT.*-Thoma Jefferson.

Think of h'S comrades getting letters by every mail, while there comes not a word or a token for him." # "Oh ! but Miss Annie, I've sent hirn two pairs' of stockings knit with my own hands ; and he's never so much as let me know that he received them." A letter should have . gone with them." s,aid the young lady. " The stockings, if the}' ever reached him, were bjjX dumb signs ; a loving sentence, even if he bad been obliged to spell it out slowly from among ill formed words, would have spoken to his heart, and warmed it with a living pleasure. Write to Mrs. Rogers. Nothing that you can send him wilt do Thomas half so much good as a letter from his mother. A single line will bo precious. Don't let him any lunger'have the feeling, among his comrades, that he alone has no ono to care for him, or send hirn sweet remembrances." " I don't believe I can write, Miss Annie," B nid Mrs. Rogers. " Try. Have you pen and ink ?" " No, Miss. As I told you just now, I haven't had a pen in my fingers these five years; and I don't believe I could compose a letter, even if I had the skiil to write it out." " You must try, Mrs. Rogers. It will nev er <Io in the world for Thomas to go any lon ger without a letter from home. I have a spare ink-stand, and will step around for it." And the young lady arose, saying as she went out, " I'll be back again in a iittle while, with pen, ink and paper. Between us Thomas must have a letter." On Annie's return with writing materials, Mr?. Rogers, still reluctant to undergo the unaccustomed task of penning a letter, sat down, and made sundry awkward attempts to form words and sentences, byway of prac tice, before essaying the epistle, which her ardent young visitor had made up her mind should be produced and mailed to the absent soldier that day. " Very well done! Of course you can writesail Annie, encouragingly, as the watched the efforts of Mrs. Rogers. " Now take a sheet of paper, and just think you arc talking to him. Write down whatever you would like to say, and say just as much about home, and what is going 011 here, that you think would interest him, as you can call to mind. Take your time to it, and don't feci hurried. I'll come around again in the course of an hour, and see what you've done. Then we'll both go over it, and I'll make ail the corrections needed, 60 that you can copy it out fairly. My word for it, there'll be a nice letter for Thomas, that will do his heart good. fn an hour, Annie catnc hack, as she had promised. Mrs. R >gers had filled two pages of paper with rather badly spel'ed sentences; hut the matter was all right, as far as it went. Annie made all needed corrections, and then waited until Mrs. Rogers had cop ied the letter, which she folded and directed ft r her. " Shall I mail it for you I" " If you please," said Mrs. Rogers. Anl the young lady went away, taking the letter. Since learning that Thomas Rog ers, whom she very well remembered had not. once received a letter from bis mother, al though he had been absent for over a year, she bad felt pity and concern for the young man, whom she remembered as a little wild in his habits before be went into the army This had made her the more argent that the mother should do her duty. The letter was as well as could have been expected under the circumstances. Still, as Annie's thoughts went off to the distant camp, and dweit on the young man's particular case, it did not seem to her all that he needed. "I will write to him 1" she said, as the case, continuing to dwell in her mind, pre sented itself in stronger light. " lie was once, for a 6hort time, my schol ar in Sunday School, and that shall be my warrant. So she wrote him a brief, but point ed and earnest letter touching his duties as a soldier and as a man. Not in a superior, lecturing tone ; but in a kind suggestive way and in language calculated to touch his feel ings and arouse his better nature. An officer sat in bis tent, near Gaines' Mills Va., three days previous to the assault on the right wing of our array before Rich mond. " In the guard-house again 1" he said, speak ing to the orderly, who had just submitted his report. There was regret, as well as dis couragement in his voice. " What are we to do with the man ?" " You will have to order a severer punish ment. Simple confinement in the guard house is of no use." " lie has in him all tho elements of a good soldier," remarked the officer. "No one goes through the manual better. lie is per fectly drilled ; is quick, steady, aud brave. At Williamsburg he fought liko a lion. I cannot forget, that, to his prompt courage, I owe my life. No—no—not severer punish ment. Wo must bear with him a little lon ger. What is his offence now?" " He was away at roll call and his report of himself is unsatisfactory. Tho man is restless and brooding; and sometime# so ill tint urpd as to make trouble with his comrades." H TI a offiotf in thcxtgbt fat #rm® tinua, 110 was about speaking when a sergeant came in wuh letters, a mail having been received, In running his-cyea over them, the officer noticed two directed to 1 homaa Rogers, the soldier reported as in the guard house. He held them for a moment in his Laud, and then laid them aside with his own letters. " Let me see yon in half an hour," he said to the orderly. "We must do something to reform this man. There is good in him, if wc cau discover the way to make it active. 1 lie orderly retired, and tho officer became occupied with his letters. After getting through with them, word was passed to have Rugers Lr.. uglit before him. He came, under guard, but the guard was dismissed, and the uian was alon? with il e officer, who regarded him more in pity than in anger. The soldier was a young man not over twenty years of age ; of slender form, but compactly built, and muscular. Even under disgrace, there was a manly self poi-c about him that did not es cape the officer's notice. u Under arrest again I What have you to say for yourself?" Tho officer tried to be stern, and to speak with severity. The soldier did not answer; but a look, half d'igged, half defiant, was visible in his face. '• I shall have to order severer punish ment." There was no reply ; only a slight change in attitude an i expression of the countenance, that indicated a bracing of mind and nerve more endurance. '• When did you hear from home ?" asked the officer, who did not remember to have seen a letter a 1 dressed to Rogers until the receipt of that day's mail. '• Not for a long lime," was answered with apparent surpiise at so unexpected a ques tion. " II re are two letters to your address." And the officer, who had the letters in his hand held them toward the soldier, who star ed with etrange bewilderment, and received tin in with a hand tLat trembled vieibiy. " Sit down and read them,' 'said the officer ' j pointing to a camp stool. The man sat down showing considerable excitement, and after looking cautiously at the delicately written superscriptions, opened one of the letters and glanced it through hurriedly.— The officer's gaze was on him and hs read in ID countenance the rapid play of various ctno t ins. Then he oj* :ied the other letter which was read twice. As he finished it he drew his hand hastily across his eyes. " From home ?" enquired the officer. The young soldier stood up giving the ou --al sign of respect, as ho answered in t'.ie affir mative. Tne officer noticed that his face was graver and paler; and that the late look of dogged defiance had laded out. " And now, Rogers, what have you to say fir yourself ? will yon drive us to severer punishment ? you know as well as I do, that that discipline must be enforced." There was r m jnstrance, not ar.gcr in his voice. " Only thi-, answered the soldier, humbly, yet in a firm voice. "I have wrong, and am s< rry. Forgive me ; arid if 1 break a rule of the service again shoot me." " Spoken like a man and a soldier ! I will trust you Rogers," said the officer; and dis missing the guard, lie sent him to duty." Two days afterward came that overwhelm ing assault upon our right wing, and on the next day the terrible conflict %t Gaines' Mills, Among the coolest and bravest in ail the tierce battles that followed, and among the most enduring in the long nights of retreat, was young Rogers. lie was with that body at Malvern Hill under our deat dealing batte ries, the fire from which staggered, and then drove hack the rebel masses, whose desperate courage in that maddest of all assaults, was worthy of a better cause, Twice during this series of battles, as once at Williamsburg, had Rogers risking his own life saved that of his ciptain; and in several of the conflicts, he had shown euch coolness and courage, that positions were saved which but for the infu sion of his spirit into his comrades would have been lost. One day, about three weeks after the letters were written to Thomas the young lady whom we have called Annie, received a reply from the soldier, dated. "In Camp near Harrisons'Landing." It ran thus: "A good angel must have put it into your heart to send me that letter, for it came just in time to save me. I wa3 in the guard house, for neglect of duty and disobedience of orders. I was reckless and desperate. All my rades were getting word from home—letters came to them by every inail—but no one wrote to me, or seetned in the least to care fur me. So 1 lost all respect for myself, grew sour, unhappy, and indifferent to duty. But your kind words—your talk about the past time when you were my teacher—your 6trong appeal to my better nature—your calm, true, sweet sentences, dear lady ! stirred my heart with new feelings, and filled my cyrs with tears. I was before my captain, in disgrace, when your letter was placed in my hands- He waited for me to read it; saw that I was touched, and, like a true man as he Is, forgave offence. Then and there, I resolved to die sooner than swerve a hair's breadth from du ly. I have been ia fearful battles since, but has k |it tne from harm.

Fair reader, is there not, in some far away cantp, a soldier, who would be made bettor or happier through a letter fronnyour hand ? Think! If there is, write to him. Brothers, sisters, write often to the soldiers who have gone out from your homes.—They arc in the midst of trials, sufferings, and privations, and your words of love, your ten derly manifested interest, your exhortiona to courage and duty, cannot fail to do them good.— Peterson's Mag. THE IHISJIMANS SPURS— A Funny Slony.— Many years ago, in England, when travelers were wont to journey on horseback, aud sleep two in a bed at taverns, the following droll incident occurred a' Chester Two young bloo ds stopped at the Red Fox tavern, and while going up to bed late at night, (it being hot weather.) they discovered the door of ono ol the bed-ruoms open. It so happened that a Scotchman and an Irishman were both asleep in the bed ; and the Irishman had part ly "kicked the kivver off" an 1 one of his legs lay caked and nearly out ot bed. "I'll have some sport now," said one of the bloods to his mate, "if you'll hold the candle a minute." Ihe candle was held while the young chap went in, and, taking up one of the Irishman's spurs, (travelers on horseback wore spurs always in tin se day;,) buckled it on the heel of Paddy's naked foot. He then gave Paddy'e leg a pinch and hid himself behind the door, Paddy (though not awakened) drew Lis leg suddenly back, and in this way sadly dam aged the Scotchman's uaked leg with the spur. The de'el d—n you, (exclaims Donaid, rub bing his leg,) an'ef ye dinna gang oot o' bed and cut ycr toe nails, I'll soon be getting' up and throw ye oot ih' winder, ycr loot!" Ttie Irishman still slept soundly, nnd'eoon put his leg back in its old position, when thy young joker who had put on the spur stole up to the bed and pinched his leg a second time. In went the leg again, the spur striking the Scotchman's leg, who now got in a terrible passion, and began to pummel Paddy, exclai ming, as usual, "Get Oot o' bed an' cut ycr toe nails, ye loot J do you fash a Christian mon to stan' such rough digging' I" This waked up the Irishman, who at that moment bringing the spur to bear on bis own other leg, vaulted out of bed. II iviDg procured a I'ght, he looked down at the spur with the greatest astonishment. "By inn sowl, (*iid be.) what a stupid fool is the hostler of this inn; sure an' he tuk off me boots whin I wint to bed, ami has left on one ov me spurs ! Strange it is I dile.'c notice it." This expla nation begin satsfaetory to Donald, harmony was restored, white the author of tho mischief sneaked out of tho room to his own nest. PoliticaL Giving All and Comfort to the Rebels. On the 14th of January, 1848, Mr. Lincoln delivered, in the House of Representatives, a speech, which was printed by J. &. G. S. Gideon, of this city, and was circulated by him amon® his friends and constituents, un der his Irank, which contains the following, tho italics in which are his : " Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, which wo hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to caes in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such peopla that can, may revolutionize, and make their oirn of ao much of tho territory as they inhabit. More than this a majority of any portion of such people may revolution ize, putting down a minority , intermingled with, or near about them, who may oppose their movements. Such minority was pre cisely the case of the lories of our Revolution. It is a quality of revolutions not to go by old lines, or old laws, but to break up both and make new ones." This is the precise doctrine of tho seces sionists, which they urge in their justifica tion at home and abroad. It gives them aid and comfort, because it emanated from the new head of the Federal Government, altho', if now uttered by one not a supporter of the Administration, he would bo sent to Fort Lafayette or Fort Warren as a criminal, lie makes no exception, however wicked and un justifiable the rcbell ; on may be. 110 makes cvciything depend upon the will and power of the rebels, and then pronounces it "right.' This is justifying rebellion, against tho sense and feeling of men in the wholo loyal States, and to which we cannot give cur assent, cith cr as a matter of principle or policy Consti tutional Union, &3TA darkey's instructions for putting on a cuat, " Fust ue right arm, den de left, and I den gib one g<-nt.rl eor.wulshgu." ITEH.MB: 01.80 PER ANBTDM The following is going the rountftofth* press. We* don't roach for its accuracy, but it's a " good thing on Chase We hear that our worthy President re ceived a Valentine lately, ig the shape of a picture of the American Eagle, with a finan cial allusion. Ihe Bird of Freedom appeared to be engaged in picking up gold coin, while at the part of the bird most remote from his head there was a pile of" Green backs," into which this coin seemed to have been mysteri ously transmuted. The President, who takes such things philosophically, and always acknowledges * palpable hit with grace and good natnred cheerfulness, went to his Secretary of the Treasury, jfc),exhibit his bird in order that the latter might enjoy the joke with him # ' Chase, however, was not disposed to take the matter in the same spirit as tho President, hut appeared to be much out of humor at this hicroglyphical attack upon his department of the Government. In tones in which ther® was a slight admixture of irritability, he re marked to the President that he Would like to know who had made this unwarranted at. tack upon his financial management of tho affairs of the nation—that he feared that some of his subordinates had got up this libel upon him, and that he would give a hundred dol lars to know who Lad done it. The Presi dent, whose question asking proclivities aro . well known said that the offer seemed liberal; " but, Mr. Chase," said he " before I shall' make up my mind on this eulject, will you allow me to ask you one question V' " Cer tainly," replied the Secretarj*," I merely wanted to understand," said the President, at which end of tho bird you propose to pay. "Lt tu, Brute !" responded the head ofth® Treasury Department, "Ifl am thus to be ma le the suhjoct of ridicule, I must renew my application to be relieved from my duties as secretary." "0, never mind ! never mird, Mr. Secretary," said the President, •' we can soon remedy ail these difficulties. All we have to do, after we „have 6uppress ed the rebellion, is to turn the bird end for end, and let the {?old and " greenbacks" re main just they are and it wll come out right." The Secretary, restored to good hu mor, agreed not to re'gn unless Seward did. How The Connecticut Klectlou was Carried by the Administration, The Newark Daily Journa' published the following letter, written by a m. mber of Com pany I, first Connecticut Artillery ; We were yesterday (March 2'J) thrown into great excitement by the report that two hundred of our regiment were to be Sent homo to vote at the election ; an order did come, 'to pick out twenty good reliable Republican * from our company." Our officers told us that the Quartermaster General of Connecticut came on to Washington, and had an interview with the head of the War Department, Mr. Stanton and state ! to him that "Connecticut would go for Seymour, unless the soldier* could go home." And they made an agree ment that as many as could be spared should go home and vote. Mr. Stanton asked how , long it would take for the fourlougha to go through their reguiar channels, and being told it would take throe days, he said : " Send their names to me, and / will put them through in three hours." And the men were accordingly picked out: men that were "sure to vote for Buckingham;" no matter if they had spent half their time in the guard house, if they were sure to "rot© ,right" it was enough. But as you may we'd suppose, we, who were not of the same political way oif thinking, did nut like it. We should not care if they "would le'us go too, and vote for Seymour. But that was not according to the programme. So we made some pretfy loud talk—the con sequence of which was, our commanding officer went to Mr. Stanton and stated that., lie was afraid he would demoralize the regi ment, and had :t stopped as far as this regi-,, ment is concerned ; but I believe it was to extend to ail the regiments in this vicinity. So lookout lor a great influx of soldiors on the Gist Monday in April. lours, truly, Sektinkl. Lincoln Opposed to I'eace and Union. Mr. Vallandighara, of Ohio, in a speech made since his return home, uses tho follow ing explicit language : "On the 12th cf last December, when from the city of Richmond information camo to the city of New York that there was a disposition to compromise and return dele gates to the National Congress, and ho obe dient to the Constitution and laws, and thus restore the Union as it was, the President on that day, rejected the proposition, and the damning evidence of that rejection exists in New Y'ork over his own autograph; (cries " hear, hear,"; but there is an obligation of 1 secresy at present, and the letter ha? no* yet leen given to the public. The day after, the federal army crossed the Piappahanaock into Fredericksburg, under the belief that Ilchmond was to fall, and thus end tho Re hellion. The day previous, Abraham Lincoln rijected all propositions to return, over his | own signature; and the day alter, tho hopea ef the blind man in the Whita House were dissipated in the defeat at Fredericksburg and the lose of 20,000 of our sons and broth ers. He should have entertained the propo sition on the 1 Gth of December, but he heod- Je-sly and wickedly drove away ail overtures. The above is fully cdrroh rated by tho statement of Hon. Fernando Woo 1, of New York, that " Propositions for an armistice of paacw had been submitted to the Prrid< on the 12 1 hof December last, which, had rkey been accepted, wouj l have terminated t..e war by the Ist of April, up n a basis RVtsfcclor/ to, the people North ami South I" Mr. Wrr ! also adds that H is only "♦rained fmm publishing tho evidence %•.j*, ' lainthia statement "by the r,quest' tf } one of the j 'i.-ciple < fleers of the (reborn | invnt." , I VX3L. 2, NO. 37.
