Gail Hamilton's new book ii called “Woman’s Worth and Worthless ness.” Isn’t Gail preparing her own au tobiography under the latter head? MR. A Mississippi paper uses two- thirds of a column of its space in setting forth "whst the 'New Departure’ is,” when three words would lure told the »tory-4t is dead. PUT “We hare a strong Government,” exclaims a Badiaal organ. Tes, it is getting so "strong” as to be “offensive" to the smell. Tobaoeo and whisky wor’d make any Government strong. ■A. The Cincinnati 7tmes mul Chroni cle, Radical', exclaims, “ United we stand —divided, where are we ?” By this time you certainly ought to know how it is yourself, as your party is admirably divided. StA- Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa vote to-morrow. Pennsylvania will elect State officer* and a Legislature, and Ohio and Iowa will elect Governors, State officers and Legislatures. These are the most important of the fall elections. *9* As a hint as to tho sanitary con dition of the "Mew Departure” it may be mentioned that it has been entirely omitted by the Democracy of New York Probably they did not want to take any "dead weight" upon their shoulders while entering the race. **£. A Mow York correspondent of the Washington Patriot says “ gray hair is beooming fashionable;” whereupon tho Mobile Register asserts that “ it is an old fashion.” It might be added also that it is a fashion that never changes until the owner dyes. Nashtille, T«nn., Oct 3, 1871. Editors Son: Our Legislature lias ful ly organized, and I am proud to say that the Scnnte has elected for their Speaker Gen’l John C.

Harper's Ferry, West Va., October 2, 1871, Editors Sun: This place is memorable for the stirring events that have trans pired within its precincts. Anterior to the late war tho Government established very extensive works here, consisting of Armories and 'Arsenals, at which were deposited arms, comprising rifle muskets and marine guns; and while those oper ations were going on in tho year 1859, the notorious John Brown conceived the idea of seizing the buildings and arms, and thus place himself in an attitude to accomplish the scheme so wickedly concocted. His approach to tho place was effected from the direction of Mary land Heights, and in crossing the bridge that spans the l’otomac at the confluence of that stream with the Khenaudooli, he seized the watchman and carried him to the gate of the enclosure in which the armory was'loeated. Here the sentinel was taken prisoner and thns the entrance into the works was easily accomplished. These prisoners he retained as hostages. As the employees tho next morning en tered the grounds, one by one thoy were arrested and subjected to tho same sum mary treatment. Gen. R. E. Lee (then Colonel) was dispatched to the 6ceue from Washington with a company of marines. Brown and his posse sought protection in the engine house with the prisoners, and defied the authorities, who wero prevented from firing upon the building by reason of the hazard of taking the lives of in nocent inmates. In the meantime Brown improvised port-holes by forcing out the brick, and through these ho tired upon and killed several citizens. He wusut length forced to surrender, was tried at Charlestown, the county seat, together with his accomplices, convicted -and executed. The failure of tho tempt was the more signal from the fact that he failed to receive the co-ope ration of the negroes that lie lmd assur ances of commanding. Tho engino house is still standing with its patched port holes, and is pointed out us a monument of the amazing folly i ad wickedness of a fanatic. Harper’s Ferry wes rondered prominent in the early operations of the war by a slrategio movemeut of Gen. Johnston in destroying tbo extensive building devoted to the manufacture of arms. The demolition of the govern ment works here, the destruction of 175 houses, the result of alternate occupa tions of contending armies, and the great flood of the Shenanlioab, just ouo year ago, that resulted in the ruin of much property and the loss of human life, has had the effect to paralyze the people. The spirits of the inhabitants seem to bo crushed; tbeir churches yet remain dosolute; tbeir houses and premises bear ing evidences of decay—with a popula tion formerly numbering somo -1,000, it now boosts some 1,000. Standing at Harpor’a Ferry wo bco three States: Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, tho lines converging on this point. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, 100 miles in length, connecting Cumberland with Georgetown and Alex andria, posses this place; several hundred boats fly upon its waters, tho chief arti cle of transportation being coal from the Cumberland mines; this is tho work of the summer months us the iee of winter lays an embargo upon their oj>erations. The canal is the property of the Kioto of Maryland, and millions of dollars were expended in its construction many years ago, and I believo as yet, lias not proved to be a very profitable investment. The environs of Harper’s Ferry arc remarka bly picturesque and grand Maryland Heights looms up in front with the his toric Potomac flowing at its nigged base, whilst yon are flanked on cither side by tho lofty sides of Loudon and Boliver. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany have a branch rood traversing the rich valley of the beautiful Shenandoah, hence to Wincester, Vs., u distance of thirty-two miles. The streams of the Potomac and Khcnandosh lmvc just now reached a point lower than ever knowu before—so gravely declared by the “old est inhabitants." J. N. S.

Queenstown, Ireland, ) Keptemlier 15tli, 1871. ( Ulilors Sun: When I hut wrote you, we were steaming along the Irish coast, with the bold and black border of Kerry in full view. We doubled thecapeabout noon, and turned up the channel for Queenstown, our first landing. Rarely has it been my fortune to gaze upon so lovely a picture ol shore and aea and sky, as is presented by the harbor and bay at Queenstown. The evening was clear, the air soil, and the golden sun ol September bathed the whole scene in the soft, rich light, so often seen and felt in oar Southern climes. The town is built upon the side of hills springing from the water’s edge, and presents an amphitheatre to the eye of dwelling, garden, and lawn that add’s greitly to tbo picturesque lieuuty of the scene. 0a the waters of the I ay water craft of every form and sizcwcie riding, aa 1 gently swinging to tho tide. We landed fer a few hour* on the ■bore to await, onr American mails; and a company of us (two ladies and two gen- men) mounted into an Irish jaunting car to take a stirrer of the town. It is a ve hicle on two wheels, built somewhat like onr dump carte--only on springs—with seats on the side, for two persons each, and ouo between, fronting to the rear.— Bo yon see that on them one rides either sideways or backwards—a kind of pro gression that too often is seen in the character and life ot this kind-hearted and generous people. While the ride was being inadu our cor was constantly surrounded by crowds of ohildren, boys and girls, holding on, shouting, running and begging for a penny—holding up os on mduoement n bunch of wild flowers—just plucked from the roadside, or a sprig of shamrock, or any other article that offered, while ever und anon somo one would cry out, "a penny for a scramble.” The children looked healthy enough, and their perse verance and agility showed both intuolo and wind—but alas, the tattered garments and unkempt hair showed them to be the children of poverty, want and neg lect As if to cap the climax of their ar ticles of merchandise, ono of them ran up and offered us for sale a fine, bounc ing Irish baby of about six moons—for which article I claimed there was no de mand in our ear, unless one of our ladies chose to invest In the ride of somo three miles, we passed several beggars, blind, sitting on tho road sido, who lifted their sight less eyes and fccblo hands, implorinf: charity of the passers. As wo rcachei the town after onr ride, Kunday though it was, we were surround ed by crowds of women with fruit and candies, flowors and lacei, or I such a clamor of tbo riobeat brogue, such a praising of wares, and such prayors and blessings os attended a purchase never before foil upon my oars. Poor Ireland —the memory of your bright skies and green fields—of your lovely waters and sloping lawns—will ever be associated with clamorous beggnm and scroaming hucksters, while ever and anon the pale face and sightless eyes, the uplifted im ploring hand of the ono by the wayaido tills up the picture that brings sadness to the heart. Laud of Poetry and Elo quence—the isle that has crimsoned all lands with the blood of her heroes and whoso bones bleach upon every battle ground, why should her people be forced to reek homes in exile? And why should bur bright blue skies bend over such constant scenes of want and penury ? To me these scenes were full of deep and painful interest. It is said the unnatural union with England— the id and haughty isle—the unjust laws enacted by a British Parliament— and enforced against Ireland—shew their prints in the squalor and wretch edness that overflow the land. If this be so, I ask what is 11 be the fate of my own land South, (the Ireland of .Ameri ca), linked to a Union by tho sword— the victims upon whom unjust and un equal legislation, is now doing its work of robbery ono pillage. I ask, shall in coming years, our ways be lined with such clamoring beggars; our children bo seeking in exile tho home and food, which is denied them in the land of their birth. Bat the whistle for our return sounds. We bid adieu to these shores, bright with tho beauties of God, bnt cursed by the misery of man:—shores, upon whose soft landscape “the wandering summer of the sea” sheds the brightest tints of tropical climes, painted with a pencil of perenniul verdure, but over whose slop- : ng bills and verdant fields the squalid trace of want and {faaperism drags its weary way and clothes in rags snddestiti’- tion those hearts formed by God for love and lin]ii>iness.
