The tacts, as hastily gleaned from the porter and an intimave-trierid o'l the res ilient family, are ns follows : Years ago,- the -wife <»f* whom we Speak, lived wiih her parents in the Suite of New York, where she was courted and won, but in opposition to f Slanton and I Certainly would not as- the will of her parents, by the man sarUhim R «Lvrt» fi« tali awav irom who is now tier Husband. For a time the marriage was delayed, tn the hope that her relatives would finally give i their consent,hut the hope was vain.— j An elopement was planned, and suc- I cessfuliy carried ofit, ' hd from that | day forward no tidings of her parents, | brothers or sisters, were ever had by i the eloping daughter. The couple came West, and-by judicious and carefully ...... , i management, industry and economy, a jjbfry he had (-one to the hberttes ol the i nice competence otherwise would npl have been thought jof; that he: urged immeoi;ite w'ar up on the seceding Stales to crush out tne rebellion ; that though defeated in this iiy the treason of his associates, he car ried with a high hand other points ol sound policy ; that by these hardy dis- playcrs of hostility to the administra tion which trusted him he promoted the interests and Won the gratitude of its enemies. . ,,, , This is iHc substarrced expressed in my own plain Fag Irish of many state ments’coming froiii various Sources ex tensively circulated apd so gdhcfaliy believed that if tiot sbon contradicted they are likely to be received as au thentic history. They are not only false but they must be injurious to Mr. Stan ton’s reputation ; and they are grossly unjust to others; dead as well as liv- mg 'stances' Make war ? He itad neith er authority nor means to do that’, and Congress Would not give him the one or the oilier. Should he compromise the dispute ? He could oftfr no tertns and make no pledges which would not be repudiated by the PCw administra tion. Could lie meditate between the parties ? Both would refuse his umpi rage, for both were as hostile to him as they were to one another. Neverthe less he was bound to do them the best service he could in spite of their teeth; and that service consisted in preser ving the peace of tiie nation. It Wits his special and most imperative duty not to embroil the incoming adminis tration by a civil war which his suc cessor might be unwilling to approve or to prosecute. It was undoubtedly right to leave the President elect and his advisers in a situation where they could lake their choice between com promisin'; and fighting. In fact, Mr. Lincoln was in favor ot the former*, il his inaugural be anv sign of his senti ments. 'The mind of no man was more deep ly imbued with these opinions that Mr. Stanton’s. The ideff never enl-*red his head—certainly never passed his lips that the President ought to make war Upon States or put ihe whole people out of the protection of the laws, and expose them all to indiscriminate slaughter as public enemies, because some individuals among them had done rtr threatened to do what was inconsis tent. with their obligation to tlit?

Is it pos sible that Mr. Stanton would have un taken to conouer ih^ Sotisli with, half a regiment ? He was thoroughly con vinced that a war at that time of that kind, and under these circumstances, would not only “(ire the Southern heart” but give to the secessionists the sympathy of all- (lie world and ulti mately insure their success, while it could not help but. cripple, disgrace and ruin the cause of the Union.

His pol u ica 1 atttt ude to a arils .nr I Buchanan administration previous to lions of his country. From the stand point which he then occupied he said that war was disunion ; it was blood, conflagration, terror, and tears, public debt and general corruption ot mortals, ail ending at best not in the union of the States but in the ibjugalion of some to the despotic will of the others. He was apt to take a sombre view of things, and he looked at the datk side or this subject. TIk- glory, profit and plunder, the political distinction and pride of power which brighten it now, were it not included in his prospec tive survey. we were committed. The faintest sus picion of the contrary would have put the Attorney (General’s ollice as far be yond his reach as the throne of France. We took him for what he professed-no be—a true friend of the Union ; a de vout believer in the Constitution ; a faithful man- who would not violate his oath of oihce by wilful disobedi ence to the laws. I am still convinced that he did nod deceive us. If die aban doned those principles in 1SG2, the change however sudden and unaccount able, is not satisfactory evidence that he was an impostor and a hypocrite in ISfiO. 1,1 h. ;; lie did not find Mr. Holt and Ger. Dix contending:niohe (or contending fit ail) against the President and the rest of the administration. Mr. Holt, on the 3d of March, 18t>l, appended to iiis letter of resignation a strong ex pression of his gratitude tor the “firm and generous support” which Mr. Buchanan had constantly extended to him. anil fKiys a warm tribute to the .“enlightened statesmanship and unsul- iisd patriotism” of the outgoing Presi dent. Gen. Dix was not there at all when Mr. Stanton came in. He was appointed a month afterwards, when there was no disagreement in the Cab- net. He took up his residence at the Presidents house as a member of his family, and reclamed there during:the whole lime of his service as head ol the Treasury Department. Fie per formed his duties faithfully, firmly, and in a way which met with universal ap- probatioc. I do not recollect that he had line word of serious controversy either with the President or with any body else. If, therefore, Mr. Stanton was at any time engaged in dragoon ing the President arid hectoring his col leagues, he could not have had Mr. Holt arid Gen. Dix for his backers. There were disputes and serious dillerences of opinion in tiie Cabinet during the period of Mr. Stanton’s ser vice ; but his share in them has not been truly slated. I am not writing the history of those times, and there fore I say nothing of what others did or forebore to do except so far may be necessary to show Mr. Stanton’s acts and omissions in their true light. Before the election it was determin ed that the forts in Charleston harbor should be strengthened so as to make them impregnable. The order was given, but the execution of il was un accountably put ofrl When General Cass ascertained that the delay was ac quiesced in by the President he re signed. Two weeks afterwards Major Aiulersoh commanding Fort Moultrie, apprehending an attack, threw his gar rison into Fort Sumter. Simultane ously came certain commissioners from South Carolina demanding the surien der of the latter fort to the State. The character of the answer that should he i given to the commissioners and the stead of one. On no there the slightest conflict between him anti me. He exhibited none ot the coarseness which, some of his later friends have attributed to him. He never spoke without the greatest res pect for his colleagues anil the pro- fouiidest deference to (he President. He, said no word to the President about resigning. He told me that, he would resign, if I did ; hut when certain con cessions were made to my wishes he expressed himself perfectly satisfied. He did not furnish one morn of the iu- Huenoe which brought the President round on the answer to South Caroli na. Nor did he ever pro|K>se to carry any measure of his own, directly .or indirectly, relating to lire secession troubles. Fie uniformly professed to be as anxious for the preservation ot (be public peace as any man there. It would be a wrong to the memory of Mr. Stanton not to add that, so far agl know, he never gave oontenarvee or encouragement to those tabu loos sto ries of his behavior. JEREMIAHS. BLACK.

Letter after letter was written, but no reply ever came to greet her ex pectant yearning, and after .several months of waiting, site determined to attempt the journey and make her way back to the place where she was horn. With this intention she gathers togeth er her scanty wardrobe, and, in com pany with a returning family, started on her long journey. Their iiiepns were scanty, anil by the time they reached the State fine at jvansas Cit}-; they wCre'left penniless. Ihe family with whom she was traveling- conclu ded to stop there, but the young girl decided to prosecute her journey t<> a termination.

He wholly deneid Mr. Douglas’ notions, and blamed him se verely'The the unreasonable and mis chievous ,schism which he had created in the party. The Kuow-nolhingism of Bell and Everett found no favoi in his eyes. In the- canvass ot ISbO, he rewarded the salvation of the country as hanging upon the forlorn hope ot Breckinridge’s election. We knew the abolitionists to be the. avowed enemies of the Constitution and tne Union, and wo thought the Republicans would nec essarily be corrupted by their alliance, with them. As we saw the march ol these combined forces upon tne capital, we felt that the Constitutional liberties of the country were inasmuch peril as Rome was when the Gauls weie pouring over the broken defence of tne city. Whether we were right or wrong is not the question, now. It is enough to say that Mr. Stanton shared these apprehensions lully. He more than shared them ; to some exlcnthe inspir ed them, for he knew Mr. Lincoln per sonally, and the account he gave of hi tn was anything but favorable. The Glli ol .November came and Mr. Lincoln was legally chooseu President by the electoral machinery of tiie Con siitution, though the majority of the popular vote was against him by more than a milhort.

The danger was greatly aggravated by tne crimi nal misconduct-.-of large bodies in the South, particularly in South Carolina where preparation were openly mad< for resistance.

The paper was shown him belore it went to the President, and al ter a slight alLernatinn suggested by himself, be not only' approved, but ap plauded it enthusiastically. - It disappointed the President. He had hastily taken it for granted that Congress might make secessions cause for war ; and in the draft of bis mes sage already prepared iie submitted the question of war or peace to the ir decision. But the advice of the Law Department, supjtoried by a powerful argument from General Cass, convin ced him of his error, and that part of die message was rewritten.

Several Congressmen had been looking at them, and they didn’t seem to think the price extravagant. Well, we didn’t look at any more rooms in that house. As neither of us happened to belong to the whiskey ring, or the tariff ring, or the Pacific Railroad ring, we were very certain we couldn’t stand it, even on the fifth floor, if that was the way the second floor started out. The whiskey ring is ‘sour grapes,’ with the most of us.

Healthy Rules for IVinter.—We find the following rules for preserving health during the winter in an able medical journal on our table. They are all based upon sound principles, and are clearly and intelligibly express ed so that all 4 wh» read may under stand them : 1. Have 3'our sleeping room well venlillatcd. Pure air is just as neces sary in cold weather as in warm. If you shut yourself up in a close room through the night, you will be very apt to take cold the next day. 2. Have bed-clothing enough to keep you comfortably warm, but no more, as an excess will prove burdensome and weakening. Have more clothing over the feet and legs than over the body. 3. Never go to bed with cold or damp feet. Always warm or dry them in some way. Dry them by rubbing with a towel or before a fire, or by. putting them in hot water, then cold for a moment, followed by a brisk receive.
