Editors:— In the course of my mis ceiitneouo reading, 1 recollect somewhere to have met with an anecdote of a business man who, having lout all of his property by lire, or flood or some other disaster, received a visit out; morning won after from u neighbor, who. • Iter condoling with him for some time on the loss of his fortune, ofluted him a present of lilty doll mis to meet his present urgent neees *,itie. Ihe hero of the anecdote gruceftilly replied to the expressions of condolence, re ceived the money, and after counting it over three times, turned to the don -r and said, in a most perfect business manner,"! telieve it is ail right, sir.” Very different indeed, sir, from this v tl e manner in wh eh the Mevvart Grey* laiely re eeiveo the boxes of clothing ami prevision* sent to them by the kind, generous and patri otic citizens of Stewmt County The eager* ners with which they crowded aroun I the boxes while they were being opened, showed an unwavering confidence in the liberality cl their Iriends at home, and the smile which lighted up the countenance of each one as he pressed ins wty th’ongh t lie crowd towards ha tent. Ins arms tilled with just such ur iclrs of clothing as he most desired and such deli cacies to please his palate ns he had longed lor. was a pleasing evidence that their conti dence had not been misplaced. And even it any one hail been disposed to “look the gift horse in the mouth,” by calling envy itself to his aid he would have hardly found anything to complain ot. The son rejoiced in the pus session of warm clothing in de by his mother the lover wu rejoiced to find among the goods a .warm pair of nuts or socks knit “expressly fiir loin by his lady love; mid in fuel the wants of every man were as well met as if a depnta tton of citizens from home had visited their camps and ton ml out what was lacking. Allow them, Messrs. Editors, through me to make use of your columns for the purpose ol returning their sincere thanks to the citizens, both ladies and geutleinen, of blew art County for their liberality and kindness fn supplying them with these articles, and to express then sincere desire that the donors may ever enjoy that happiness and approbation ol conscience which the remembrance i having done so meritorious an act never tails to bring wfth it .

We cannot resist Ihe temptation to furtii-h to our tender* the following verbatim extract Irom the Kangaroo's lale Message It prole* c* to lie a disquisition upon the rulatt't* dig nity and iner t* of “capual” und “labor.” Abe ‘MV* that tin* subject in new to him an ad mission which but a moment anticipate* Die conclusion of the reader Asa specimen of .rgiiiiicffimioii, it surpasses anything we have -ecu iii lire English language, and, us a curt osily, is worthy of preservn ion. We defy any body to sift uu intelligent idea from it, or to rise from t* perusal an limit a strengthened eon vietion that “a fool will l.e a fool,” though you bore a hide tu In* skull ami pour lit a quart of liquid wisdom through a liu (irnnol: ‘ It i* not needed tor tilling here that a gelt ••litl uigiimeut should be made in favor ol pop iiiur institution* , but there t* one point, with it.* . on a ee| mu*, not *o huckiiryi and u most oth ers, to which I ask u brief attention. Il is the effort to place capital oil uu equal wtlb, if not above labor, in tbe structure of government- It i* as sit tiled that labor t* available only tu connection with capital t that nobody Inbors mile** somebody else owning capital, sorue bow by the use of it, induces him to labor.— This assumed, tt is tied considered whether it in best that capital hhull hire lalmrers, and thu* induce them to work hy their own ion- nunt, or buy them and drive them to it jvilhout their consent Having proceeded so far, it is iiut iif ally concluded that all laborers are either hired laborers or what we call slaves; and further, it is assumed that whoever is oiicu a hired laborer is tiled in that condition lor life fflow there is no such relatioa between capital and labor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free ii.mu being fixed for life in tbs condition of n lured liftnuer Doth of these as sumptions are false, and all inferences from them are groundless. * Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed iflabor had not first exist ed. Labor is the superior of capital, and de serves yiuch the higher consideration. Capital has its rights which are as worthy of protec tion as any other right. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will he, n rela tion between lalor and capital producing mu tual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of a community exists within that relation. A few men own cupital, and that lew avoid labor themselves, and with their capital hire or buy another tew to labor for them. A lurge majority belong to neither class; neither work for others, nor have others work ing for them In most of the .Southern States a majority of the whole people, of all colors, are neither slaves nor masters, while in the Northern a large majority are neither hirers not hired Men with their fa mil es, wives, son* and (laughter* work for ihmn.selves on their farms, in their houses and in their shops taking the whole product to themselves, and u*kiu no favors of capital on iho one hand, n r of hired lab rer* or slaves on the other.— it is not to gotten that a considerable number ot persons mingle their own labor w ith capital that is, they labor with their own hands, and also buy or hire others to labor lor them; but ihi* is only a m xed, mid not a distinct, class. No principle staled is di turhed l>y the exist ence of ibis mixed class. Again, as has altcn.ly been said, there is not of necessity, any au. h thing as the free hired laborer being fixed iu dial condition tor lite. Many independent men, everywhere in these 8 ales, a few years buck in their lives, were hired laborers.

Secession, perhaps, is unconstitutional, but co ercion is equally so. Mr. Davis governs by the authority of a successful revolution. Mr. Lin edn governs in the name of an authority which ft'ibt'ls ovary thing that he does and cannot h> ip loing, and if the constitution were in vigor lie iiiu >i he impeached lor high treason, without a chance of defending himself, and would he liable at the same time u actions for false imprisonment which would ruin a Rothschild. He has ordered his officers to set at ilcliuM# the Supreme Court of the Republic. He has sus pended the habeas corpus. He has proclaimed martial law. He*has set up a uew Legislature in Westorn Virginia in opposition totha authori ty of tbe lawful (Jovernor. He has suppressed the Comtitution and Imprisoned the collective Legislature of Maryland. He has put down freedom of the press and annulled the right of petition. In a word, he has committed many hundred distinct acts of high treason, or what would be such bad America any longer a law or a legal government. Are we, then, to believe that a war undertaken in defiance of every constitutional principle is u war in defence of the constitution—that Presi dent, Ministers and Uenerals are fighting for a law, the operation of which, if really enforced, would be to hang them all. We waive the ob vious impossibility of constitutionally governing the Mouth, if re-conquered, becaure the contin gency Is too improbable to be worth discussion* But we think it is too bad to accuse Sir John Paokirigton of'•hatted to free institutions” be cause he desires to see a stop put to the war lathe first plaee, free institutions in the North mean mob law. and in the South vigilance corn mitt eon; what we understand by the phraso is nowhere known in tho United Staten, In tho next place, tho necessary eflbctn of tho restore tion of constitutional law in tho North would bo to stop tho war at once. Plain Talk. The London Herald, tho accredited organ of Lord Derby, in a Into number usos the following plain language towards tho North : First, wo have no trade worth keeping with tho North ; .second, war would open to us a most valuable direct trade with the South.

This indulgence will lie granted to re enlisted men in preference to all other*. 1. ( ompanies of not less than sixty four prl vales (a larger number would be prelerrod,) with their proper officer*, will be received and mustered for the war, retaining their present arms and equipments, when they will be dis churgcd from iheir old engagements, and paid off’to that dale. 2.
