Much eulogy has been lavished by youi on General Siekles for Order No. 10. Whatever may have'been the temporary relief afforded to debtors by this extraordinary order, all lovers of constitutional liberty have it forced upon their reflection, that laws similar have uniform iiy bcen pronounced by the. Supreme Court of the'United' States to ' be unconstitutional; and that a law passed by our Legislature, which by no moans interfered with the obligations of 'contracts to tbccxtOntof order No. 10, was de clared by the highest Court iu the State, by ten judges against one, to be violativc of th.s Constitution of the United States. Also, that tile Attorney-General of the United States in tan argotncitt! thtit has Hot been; and: cannot be, answered, 1k*t declared the issuing of this or der to bo a despotic stretch of unauthorized 1.power.. Finally while temporary relief has i been afforded to debtors, wo have the fact forced upon us, that a largo class of creditors, I among whom nro numbered msny now desti tute widows nnd orphans, have b-jcu great suf f'orers thereby. !i -'In this connection, I would ask if you do not know that tho application of Order No. 10, to the Federal Court? was an nfterthought on the tlib part of Gem Sickles; nnd that lie did allow .tho process of this Court to bo freely ex ecuted in this State, until it occurred to him that this Court might on proper coso mado. do clnro .the July Act unconstitutional and thus destroy his super Czaric power ? I am constrained to characterize your letter aK your serond bid for Radical favor. Your speech in Charleston, when yon ungratefully aspersed the Democratic party which gave you prominence, was your first bid. Your letter has ?furnished tho Radical party with a 'pretext for the prosecution of its nefarious designs for tho oppression of the South, that has bcon seized upon, with avidity ' by its partisan journals. While thus opening tho way. for 'your admis sion into the folds of the 1 {lack Republican party, you might at least have spared us tho .unwarranted calumny of stating that'but for tho "wisdom, moderation, and forboarahco" of Geu.

A good vein of coal, 3 feet 10 inches thick, and one hundred and twenty fect below the sur face, has been found in Paris township, Por tage county, OMo. Judge Miller discharged Wm.

It is estimated that about one-tenth of the entire number of pnisoaeto and soldiers at the Dry Tortugas Rave died, which number is as serted to be about five hundred. The fever originated from opening sewers which had been closed for five years, and were replete with foul air and filth. The. Athens (Ga.) Watchman tells of an in telligent colored man Nswttoni county, who had been spoken of sa a registrar, who, upon, hearing tho "iron-clad" oath read, remarked that he conlVF take it conscientiously, but said he woald be d-d if he would sit with a whttc man who could. The Wilmington Star mentions the case of a gcntlcmnn living in that vicinity who made $25,000 off his crop of ground poas last year, and another who will make from 13,000 to 15, 000 bushels this year, at prices varying from two to four dollars per bushol. The newspapers, says' the New York Day Book, are full of gossip about Mrs. Lincoln's threats of "ret/rets." We should rathe; eay that, from tho diligent manner in which she advertises her clothes for sale, that her threats are rather to uvdreu. Judge Davis, the ad ministrator of the estate of Lincoln, makes out that he left $85,000. Congress voted his widow $25,000; she sold the furniture she took from the White House for $14,000; total, $124,000. Lincoln has been dead two years, and his poor widow has already come to want.
