Mr. Editor : —1 like Chattanooga—that is, what I’ve seen of it—l suppose 1 do— they say Upre that I do. I’ve been alt aboiltthis inoruin’ lookin’ at ’em—that is, at Chattanooga. 1 axed several which was the town ; they were silent in language but look and gesture “proudly imminent.” It, or her, or they, is so scattered aud splotched about that I don’t kuow yet where it, or they, or her—Chattanooga, is. But I suppose it is here, or here abouls. It seems to me like the place had had the measles, and by reason of the war the di sease turned into small pox, and was now gittin well in patchas. Five railroads come in here, but I couldn’t find but one depot and one hotel—the through business won’t justify any more.— everything goes through. They are afraid to stop on account of freshets* Freshets are big things here, they have such high ones and so many of ’em that the folks have got proud of ’em. They talk about their freshets just like we do about steam boats, and rolling mills, and commerce and trade,—just like nobody else ever saw a freshet. “Was you ever here in high was ter?” says a fellow to tne'. ‘No,' says 1. ‘Well sir, you don’t know anything about maritime business.’ says he. ‘Why sir, I’ve the whole town from seventeen to lor* ty-seven feet deep in water. Why, sir, J there ain’t a city in these United States that has such floods. Old Noar, sir would have been proud of it. ( He would have complimented us, sir.’ I’ve no doubt of it myself. I noticed the effects of ’em—they are pennar.ant aud pro gressive, I counted cite thousand seven hundred one story-houses, about seven feet high in the pitch, and the boards on the roof brown by the sun until they looked like one of those frizzly chickens that Mr. Griffith has entered at the Fair. You see the freshets gits over 'em and retires, and while they are wet the nun comes out and cup* the boards like reap hooks. 1 didn’t gee any shingles here much, and narry tin or slate. Such things are eu% tirely too expensive to risk in freshet. The houses. I should say, with a few exceptions, cost about thirty seven dollars and fifty cents a peice, on an average, City Council has passed an ordinance forbiding the erection of stone or brick buildings on Main street. I suppose they did, lor I didn't see but two or three," and it “must took some bribary to have got such a pri viledge for them. Nearly all of the stores have a front shod over the sidewalk. These sheds dou’t cup down like Mr. Gam* moil’s, but all of ’em cup up, for the pur pose, I suppose, of holding water when the freshets comes. The houses and scores are all built low, and have barrels on the ridge poles. They arc built low so keep them from turning over when the freshets comes ; and the barrels are filled from high tide or such occasion; and don’t evaporate all out untill the next oue comes along. The merchants here have a hard time in the way of insurance, for they have to take out both fire and marine insurance; and what is more, they can’t buy any goods on time, unless they make their notes payable before the next freshet* But 1 like Chattanooga—that is if I know which one of ’em them it is. I do know that there are many high hill around her, or it, or them, which present a roman tic appearance, and all of which are wisely and graciously intended Ararats in time of trouble. A good may citizens have built respectable residences about in spots, and have underground anchors running up to these hills. In the last big freshet. I un derstood Mr. Divine *and fortyeseVen homes floating around—all anchored by rope* to * big rock in Lookout Mountain, and the only difficulty he bad was in settlin’ them down to their proper places, as the water ! fell. Since tbdn lie has changed his basis j ness to haidiiware principally. He axed, me to visit his new edifice, which f did. j It was two story brick building seventeen j bv forty—anything higher than nine left I • is called nit edifice here. I lik® *** I like Chattanooga, what I hav’rt seen of if. There in » pict ure of» large Ditty goat her.', painted on » doo-, and the door is kept shut. I don't know what it signifies, and I was afraid to ax. but I like «t- It ha* an air of the j my.terioßs. * .

LETTER FROM GENERAL JORDAN ON CUBAN AFFAIRS. Gen. Thomas Jordan, late of the Confctk eraie army, but now second in command among the Cubes insurgents, writes to Colonel Harrington, of Chicago, as follows : Guaimaro, Oct. 19, 1869. My hsTEKHim 1 kiknp : Nearly two months since 1 addressed a letter to a house iu Now York, in which I represented '.lie great need that the Cubans have of supplies of clothing for men women and cliildrea, medicines, arms and munitions of war. I am gratified to find that this appeal of mine has met with an cflemave response, and that already a tilt in her ol cases of clothing material have been landed iu the hay of Nipe from a schooner bound fur Sisal, Mexico, from New York. 1 wish, Colonel, that therejwcro hdndreds of such responses, and that there were a hundred Ameiicuii pens with me here to repiesent the situation —to depict better that can 1 the picture of tins civil wur. W bile we have no absolute need of foreign soldiers of any kind to curry this struggle to successlul I run ion, we do nc<*d supplies. As near as 1 am able to calculate, vve have twentyvsix thousand eight hundred men who have arms, and I state iu perfect sin* eerily that w<- could use immediately sev* fiitv-five thousand stand of arms, and with that number iu our hands could end this war in ninety (lay*. We have not Winded our armies nor inn* teriaL iu attacking large cities—seaports, I mean— because even though we took them, it would he at a sacrifice of life of our train* and soldiers, with a perfect knowledge that wt?could not hold them, for the reason that we have no artillery to defend them against the Spanish navy. Puerto Principe mid all interior towns we have so closely besieged that they are really of no avail to our enemy except the name of holding them. We oecasitHially are beiiefiitcd by it, lor in their attempts to send them, supplies, wo often capture their trains. There are men of great mind and brain in this cause. The Cuban patriots as a people are men of a higher class than any other Spanish Americans. They are, the most of them, all the leaders at least, men who have received their eilucation either is the United States or in Europe. They are comprehensive, aide, and devoted to their cause. I observe that there exists a doubt in the minds of a few citizens of the United States of the extinction of slavery in this island. Slavery was abolished when the standard of revolt was raised, and again by tho article of tho con*ti« tiiHoii of this republic. There are forty llt®rt»nd liberated slaves now following our camp*. Thousands of them are armed with inachelas, a half hatchet and half meat axe. They have shown a willingness to meet tho enemy in the open held with such weapous only as these. But what I most desired to call your at tention to is out* grdat need of clothiag f ( [ r our people. *1 feed assured that if this pressing want of these worthy people was well understood in the United States, there would such a tide of contributions of mates rials and money be poured in upon us as would relieve all our wants aud secure for the Cuban an early triumph over the truly barbarous Spaniard. , 1 wislt this ffiight be brought Iwfore t.»e American ladies. I wish that they might comprehend how 30,000 Cuban ladie saro living an aboriginal* life, half-naked an but poorly sheltered, as the forests and lid sides and spreading pal in trees can shelter them. Such an army of self-denying ladies was never before assembled oneatlh. G"* 11, devotion knows no parallel except in the lives of our revolutionary mothers. I hope the whole American people may realize the situation of these people—their wants, sw* ferings, devotion and worthiness—-and then aid them. , I wish I had the time to write you mnen more. But as our messenger can only cur ry a very small parcel, I am obliged close this letter. Y*"i may address »'* care of the Cuban Junta, No. 71 Broad wav, N. T.
