h-union of Congress was drawing near to it# rinse—the
husy so ;sioii of 1872—and there wen- yet great inea- |
ore# to bo carried, before lhedi#tiiigui#hd senalor could
vanUire to bring forward her ap|s>intmrnt as minister
plenipotentiary to tils court of -St. James. 1 hen there
was that slow moving affair of her eldest daughter,
whose suit to tho only unmarried son ot the president,
although pushed with sufficient Aral by tin. y oung lady
her.tclf, and apparently favoured by the young gentle
man’s mother,did vet seem to make little progress;
whether through coyness on his [ant. or obstacle of
same prior attachment, or tha malign inllurncc of a
political rival, was yet to lie ascertained. Thru there
h is the promotion of hor vouagest daughter, who could
yet write hsrsalf only lieutenant and longed t.r a ca|r
tainev ; aud the had news from her o*n state, where the
whig# aie making the greatest exactions, and there
seemed reason to fear a defeat at the approaching elec
tion ; and most annoying though least imprrtaut oi all,
the perpetual vexations of her correspondence from
home, through her husband's exceedingly bad manage
ment as a house-keeper; so that in short the poor la
dv, notwithstanding htr extraordinary talent I >r busi
ness and crroi ding fertility of resource, was soniolimcs
almost at hsrwit’s etui.
It had been her intention 11 devote this day to a long
aud confidential interview with the president, in which
she would corn- to a distinct understanding with that
sagacious but not very candid ladv, iijxrn all the nrat j
tets in progress between them; and secure such pled* }
ges as should remove all hazard of disappointment, I
without which she was firmly resolved to make noet
fort in favor of any* one of lire measures L>r whose sue
cess the administration was so desirous ; hut just as she
was ordering the earriags, a letter was brought iu from t
Mr. Winteiton, which required immrei'utc attention
and an ansv.ct by the return of j ost. It was as follows:
Bostow, Mason 1, 1873.
Tn tie Hun. Mrs. Winter!on, U. S. Senator.
Honored Wife—lreceived your letter of the twen
ty.fourth and have attrnded to all your directions, as
well as I could. But lam sorry to say that tilings do
not go very well in you* absence, partly, no doubt,
from my want of skill and experience. J unfortunate
ly spoilcJ most of your white dresses in the last wash,
bv rubbing them too much in one place, so that they
frayed into holes ; and James ha-, ruined nine or ten of ,
your best lacs collars, by making his irons too hot, so
that they are guile searched. I had to send out and
hire a man to finish the ironing, v. hicb has eon iriera-
Idy increased the vvriexpenses. I am afraid James
heated the irons on purpose, through di dike to the bus
iness w hich docs not seem to come natural to him,
having been brought up, vou know, by his uncle in
En gland, where the new system of female supremacy
h-a. not yet been established. Also I find that the cold
eorn-bresdand watwr plan don’t agree with mo very
well; perhaps because I don’t cook th: bread pr .perly.
Clnrlot c is in danger of loosing her election to tbs leg- .
islature, I bolieve. I don't know for c tain, becau-e
cf course shedon’t tel! me anything about public affairs j
end sac rends the newspapers to you as soon as she has
done reading them ; but I had a talk absut it this morn
ing, with neighbour Wilson, while he and I were sweep
ing the street befors the corporation cart came along.’
I hope she will svriW’ to yos about it, far n -ighbxur
IViUon says that he over heard his wife say Charlotte
would bo defeated, while be was carrying up the din
ner. Bet yon know Charlotte is full of confidence,
and perhaps silo may not think it necessary to write.
I met Mr. Stevenson yesterday, as I was coming
home from market, and he told me that lie ltelieved
Mrs. Stevenson was thinking of proposing a match to
you, between her Maria and our William. Ilow he
got his information I don't know, for sf course Mrs. 8.
would not speak to him about lg ; lint I should not won
der it it Was true, for he is very clever at finding out
things, you know ‘ almost as clevet as a woman. If I
might venture art opinion, I should think William
might make a better match, for he is accounted very
handsome, and with his fine voice, and his skill in mu
sic, and his very domcstk'ktum, l ara sure he would
make a good husband; and Mrs. Stevenson’s Maria is
not likely to distinguish herself.
I would be glad to know when we shall set about
cleaning house ; also whither y ou wih the car|>et* ta
ken up in the bed-room as well asdown stairs. Please
alsa to let me know whether I shall get any more coal,
or buy wood far the summer.
I shall have to trouble you for a little more money, as
that you left with mo i nearly gone. Votir very faith
fill husband, ADAM WINTERTON.
There were several things in this letter that very
much diaroaipoHoJ ths honorable Mrs. Winterton.—
The suspected contumacy of James required very de
rided measures, and the proposed motel* for William
was not to he thought of; she had much higher views
for him. Then the destruction of the dresses and col
lars was particularly annoying, considering the pains
she had taken in haring Mr. Winterton taught washing
and trunk);, an 1 final** the call for more money was
exceedingly disagreeable just at this time, when she
so soon needed all the resources she could com
mand, to complete’ her purchase of the Manning estate,
ant! to defray the preparatory expense* of her embassy
to England, which, on the scale of splendour she was
contemplating, would far exceed the outfit allowed by
government.
If she could pi aaibly have spared the time she would
have set offfor Boston itnmed lately, but in the pres
ent state of political afliiirs, this was out of the question.
Hhe was obliged to content herself, therefore, with w ri
ting ; ar.Jsj her letter was characteristick, and will
sci va to illustrate the decision of her mind and habits,
we place it before the reader.
YVisnt vnTov, March 3, 1872.
Mr. WinleHitn. —l cannot spare you any money at
p resent. Send me what dresses and collars you ha* c
ready, the spoiled ones and all. by mail. They will
come free under my frank. The washing and ironing
must not be attended with such stupid disaster* hercat
tor, or I shall lure a man to do it, and his wages will
come out of your allowance. Take up ull the carpets.
There must lie coal enough left to lust till I conic home.
I have written to Charlotte. Yoh did right to let me
know whgtyan heard about the election. I w ill take
care of Mrs. Steven son and her matters.
1.01 IMA WINTERTON.
P. 8. I.et the house-clcuiiiiig alone till you hear
from me again.
This written and JenptUtUed, our senator wai next
troubled with a aeon’ or two of letter* from her consti
tuouts, sonic giving advice which sho had no notion o!
following, others tendering inf trmatiou which -he kuc.v
to be false, but the greater number soliciting the exer
cise nf her influence ia I nor of solves, si-iers, nieces,
daughters and cousins without number. Our desired
a ruidsliipwomnn's warrant, another a cadetuhip, at ;
West Point, a third would be contented with npost
oflice, and a fourth asked nothing but the immedisr
recognition and payment of a lon g-staudin; claim upon
the government. Three ot four of the letters were from
persons who had mile inventions and discoveries, and
desirod congrsasional patronage ; and not the least n
-of these was one from u lady in Wisconsin,’
who professed to have discovered an invaluable pivpar
atiou, by tiio use of which women could speedily adorn
their faces with mustache and whisker—thus complet
ing tne great and glorious revolution of the age, and se
curing ‘, itic ex the token of snvcmnfly. a* they,
were already in enjoyment of all it* powers and advan
tages.
Utt those were muttcra of little consequence, in com
parison with which v'aa dis;!o;od hy tin- very lact
us the huge rju tolarv packet which the morning's mail
l|ad brought for the hot our.il.lo Mrs. Winterton, She
reeogniioj the writing of the aJdre** the moment it
met her eve ; and with that terogmi.cn came the
liinc Odnli of consciousness that the crisis of her dc tiny
wa ut hand.
Tfie letter was from Marv tValihon, nnd the not*,
mark w New York. The faithful erriisary lud ro
t imed then, and here was the result of her mission.
The hour of vengeance, long deferred, ea r. eirlur close
at hand, or its coming w, H no longer to be hoped for.
WUir the Huiml of eager expectation on iier cheek,
and its light flashing in her eye, she tore open the iro
tmrutit minsive, and at a glance rlevourid its rorlrntr.
They toll her nil, and more thun oil, that she hail dar- -
to hope.

from clime to clime and from kingdom to kingdom,
until st last both pursuer and pursued had again set foot
upon their native land. Amelia W entworth wasin
New York—a thrill of vengelul joy shot through the
frame of Louisa Winterton as she read tliewords —anJ
trusting that her change of name would eonceal the
fuel ofher return from the woman she had -a deeply
injured,it was her intention to remain there several
weeks.
At last, then, the desired moment was at hnnd ; the
stain upon Louisa's honor was about to he effaced in
| blood; the wrong that had so long rankled in hrr tto
! >:oin would have its fitting retribution. .*Oh that she
were a man riclaimrd the revengeful senator, as ahe
unlocked her liarclling-case of pistols oh that she
were a huh. that I might iglut my vengeance with the
horsewhip, but she is a woman, and though I may take ]
her life, the code of honour will not jicrinit me to de
grade the sox in her detested person. But fail me not
my practised baud and eye, and III# long account lKi
tes ecu us shall soon be settled in our blood.”
< ’arcfjilly she examined tlic costly and exquisitely
fin ishod weapons ; saw thnt the balls wriu true in fit.
and that the locks sprang at the slightest touth of tile
fine hair-iriger; and then, with no more delay than
■sufficed to write anote or two,and to park a few dress
es in her valise, she summoned hor faithful Elisa, and
in . few minutes was whirling along the road to Balti

ble Maga. We make the following interesting extract
from what purport# to lot the journal of a Bairister
t ravelling hi* “ first circuit.”
M e reached the rail-mad station, however, in g->ed
time ; and having in our turn —for there was a crowd

and which being also numbered, sucured regularity and ]
Ia go.nl understanding as to tlieir rights among the :
passengers. This circumstance I learnt thus:—Sir, i
1 beg your p.irilon,” said gentleman entering, and j
looking at me apd the seat I had chosen, “but I am
eighty.:’
Really, sir, l don't understand.” I replied, xvth a
smile, and great surprise ; •• wliat if you are eighty I
You don’t fool its much.”
*• Oil, my seat is numbered 80—that’s all,” he rejoin
’ smiling in his turn, and painting to the number,
which glittered in braat kttteis immediat ly over mo.
Ofcoui vo I iirunnUately surrendered my scat, and
t . >L nr just opposite t r each of us eiuin near the
v- i- Inn. This nutter settled, Iwa getting out to look
i out if for a moment, xvi n I him-- I tits sm.r>d of a
t. umpet, and in :i moment alter sa.v a ponderous s!ruc
t ire roll slowly and hissing past —it was the engine, i
bist taken out of his shc-l, and going to be attached to I
the train. He bore the startling name, “ Sirocco,” in
; large quid let er#,en Ins Bank, and looked quite splendid
in his polished brass and steel. He carried his food!
un i water af'er him I Presently our tickets were cail
; cJ for; then -a man went along from carriage to carriage j
i carefully fastening the doors and adjusting the handles
-•■lfitly, v.kiUs another pkred palm-oil on the wheels.— j
There wag none of the uoisc and hu-tle ordinarily at
tending tl.o btartingofu stagc-soacdi; on the contitry,
nil was quiet ind methodical. Again the trumpet
ninded ; and just at eight o’clotdt wc felt a gentle mo-
Ition, nuislaes withal—and foind that w* had common#
ced our journey, but as slowly a* we could well snsvc at
I first. Gradually wc qaickrtied oar speed till we had
’ jot fairly on out wly anil were clear of all interruption
i when as expreassd i. vescertainly * went ‘the f>aee.’
I letdown the glass and put out my head to see tho
- length aud ajtpsgftnce ot the train, but quickly with
-zlrcw ft; for, what with the select, and the draught oc
casioned by tin rapidity with which we wore passing
through the bitterly cold air, it rras’unplrasant enough.
H.w dreary the ceußtry looked! I shut the stindow
aaid wrapped myaclf up in roy eloak, Isant back in mv
scat, and, together with Q. enjoyed fora whit*-, in Sl-
i ieiicc, the no .city of our sensation and situation. The
I motion was pretty uniform—gentle, slig'.tly vibrating,
\ w ith now and then a jerk : we could have written alt
t the way we vvenh 8o long a* we looked only at dis-
I taut object/!, we did not aeosi to be going much quicker
| than in .t fast t but a? soon as we looked at
iriy thing nearer—at the fenee of the rail road, for in
stance—we licciinie instantly sensible of the prodigious
rapidity of our motion. It was really painful to look
down for a minute toge ther. While 1 was thinking
about the rapidity and pleasure of out rat* and mode of
travelling—
“Confound it!’ exclaim*! Q., ••where's my um
brella !”
Ctrtes we were a precious pair of travellers! He
nad left it at the Kwan ! I |>ointed significantly to mine
which 1 had in my hand ; but ho dashed my triumph
jby saying briskly—“ Your nig you'll remember!”
I We stopped once in about every twelve or fifteen
! miles nt “ stations,” in order to give off ot take in pai--
! Kongers, as also to let our go*l Sirocco drink—(a rare
draught, merry monster! was lus—a hogshead at
least!) —and feed, when lie snapped up several sacks
of coal*, apparently with great relish. What a diges
tion must be his. Well may his breath be hot and his
system feverish ! He generally panted a little at start
ing and stopping, but it soon passed otf. and he ran the
remainder of hi* journey without any apparent effort oi
exhaustion.
The word “f tplositen” flitted oft/rer through my
thoughts, I mulconfess, than I could havo wished, and
always occasioned a momentary tremor, especially
when my fancy would fly forward and image forth
some such pleasant paragraph as —•• Frightful Acci

affrighted at our mouwtrous sp|irarancc, galloped off,

“THE PEOPLE'S PRESS.”
We have liecn somewhat surprised at discovering
that tf ic “ People’s Pres*” his recently ploeetl under
its editorial head the ticket nominated by the State
1 Rights party for Congress. Does that paper intend to
■support this ticket! The “Press” is the only paper
jof the n-lification party in Georgia which has come j
| out boldly, and manfully battled in behalf of the great
measure of the day—a constitutional Treasury—and
seemed to regard it as a question to which, in the pres
ent crisis, all others should give place. Will it now
abandon it* cause, and undo all the good it has accom
plished, by contributing to the elevation of men who
would prostrate its favorite measure T Only one of
the tirket has as yet avow ed hi* friendship for the sub
treasury bill: three others have published their oppo
sition ; two more we are informed are decidedly hostile
to it, and we do not believe that either of the remain. ’
her will venture, in the face of the anathemas which
the State Rights party is constantly hurling upon the
sub-treasury, to avow their partiality for il. even if they
should happen to entertain any—which we question.
Exeept Major Cooper, then, can the •< Press” consist
ently support any of the ticket!
That paper is not ignorant ofthe fact that npon the
success or detent of Mr. Van Buren’s Administration
hangs this great question—if he is sustained, it will lie
1 rarried—if he fail, who will succeed him! Henry 1
1 Clay ; ami with him a fifty million hank, anew protec
tive tariff, with an entire ascendancy of the old Fede- ‘•
ral dor.trines of Hamilton, Adams, Pickering and Web
ster. Perhaps the present election in Georgia may
settla the Presidential question, for parties are now so
nearly balanced, that a few votes either way will turn
the scale, Hflliet the extraordinary exertions of old
federalism, in the garb of modern wliiggrrv, to regain .
it* power, Will the Press” lend itself to produce a !
! minority so disastrous! Will it allow its prejudice* i
against Mr. Van Buren ts outweigh its constitutional
opinions! Will it, to defeat him, and ts support the
men w ith whom it has been acaustomed to act, de feat
nil lio|ie of separating the government from the Banks!
Is this a lime to adhere to men. when principles of
vital importance arc at stake ! I* it a time t* gratify [
per sur.nl attachments when Mack cockade federalism
is rearing it* head, and when the nrm of ecery Rcpi.hli- i
mu pattiot should b* ruinel, and will he required, to <
put it down ! The *Pri?*” cannot conceal from itself, 1
that if it determines t* support this ticket, it is doing ,
| xiols'nes In its principles, endangering the peace of the
I South, and checking the permanent prosperity of the,
; country.—\Ve bej it to |>nu*e —to reflect—to examine 1
I the question in all it* bearings—and not to take u
coun-e no ropuqpiunl to its own sense of political propri- 1
, ctv. What has it or the South to gain bv prostrsliiiß
Martin Vim Buren! Nothing. On Ike contrary,
they wiil lose every thin-for which they have l*en !
struggling for years. !
The time must eoine when the currency question !
“iil divide parties in this country; mid should not the 1
friends of tlie constitution rally to the standard ofßc
publiruliism otsrnra, tost by idlovving false issues to dis- 1
rut the public mind, federalism covertly aequirna 1
power over the money of the country which nothing
cun rrii.t! Wc may then unile too late—tho mischief 1
will have been done, and the remedy which us might ’
now tins with success, lw incDcctuat. Will the “ Press’
look toil—weigh the gains and losses on cither side
and fji*o ua its de-. i.ion!
Wo wholly difier with the Augusta Con.rtitntionnl
ist, as to tlie mean* of nnnntaining the com’ncy of the
ftbxtt* unimpairex’. The plan of the Constitutionalist
i* pretty much that of the Savannah Banks, a* lately
puldishtd, that they will receive the lulls of the Bank*
of ths interior, but stop their cirrnlntion, by holdiug
them up; und for this high favoi, the Bank* of the in
tenor must M-nd their agent* weekly to the* Bunks in
ftavnnnah, snd tnke up th*r lulls with speric or its e
qut valent,
VX hy not revere# the matter, to maintain our Slate
currency, anil my that the Banks of Columbus. Ma

Tattnall Ranks, but only on the same condition* ; and
tint they .h*il,#o far a# li** ia th.r pc,r. Jerlroy th#
circalutioo of three l il'.a in the interior. The right l
longa ax much to the one as the other.
One word on thi* subject in all aeriouancs*. Theie
is quite enough of prejudice against the Bunk# already,
without the Banka thmnselve# increasing it. Far the
Bank* in one quarter to decry th# hill* of another in the
same Stale, and impair public aonlidenee in them, is to
bring odium and discredit on the whole *yatcm. Let
the true rule, so far as the State is concerned, govern.
Put no interdict upon the billa of any State Bunk which
is both uhle, willing, and ready to redeem their bills !
whenever culled upon. If they do thi# in honesty und
good faith, itis nsHouiitl a currency as the people need
or desire, and the Savannah Banks have no right to ,
ask for more. We trust, if the obnoxious and arrogant j
pretentions ofthc Savannah Banks, #o well calculated j
to excite the people against the whole system, by rie- !
prcci.iting the currency of the Mate, are not speedily
revoked, that the country Banks, acting unitedly and
promptly on the matter) may bring them to their senses,
and to a feeling know ledge of their true position;
which we know can much more easily lie done, than it
would suit the nssunipt.on of the Bavannuh Banks to
lie told.— Suut/irrn Recorder,
The Columbus Enquirer has hoisted at the masts
head, tho presidential tlag, with Robert Y. HaVne, of
Mouth Cnioliij* as President, anil John Tyler, of Vir
ginia, as Vice President. It says, they have nailed the
Hag to the mast.
We can only su at this early day, that these names
are infinitely more accordant with the interest and feel
ings of the South, than any that are now before the
public for this high office. W hat different assm iationa,
lor instance, are connected with tire names of Robert
Y. Hayne, the i hampion of Southern rights in the Sen
ate of the United States, nnd Martin Van iJuren in the
same sphere of action, voting for the ijertra tinn of
Southern prosperity, in the bill ol tariff’ abominations
of IH2B ! And wliat different kind of feelings niecon
nfoted w ith the name of the honest and liighminded
John Tyler, and those felt in thinking of Richard M.
Johnson! !— Suttthtrn Recorder.
