The President makes no secret of his (ctermination not to make removals exeopt for some cause ot.her than a difference in pol.itics until 4he Tenure-of-office law is re pealed.

The memhers of the Cab inot are a unit in snpporting the President in his desire to have the Tenur-of-offleo act. ropealed, and lose no oppo,rtunity in making their sentiments known. Said the A ttorney-General to a senator yesterday : "Sit', we cannot run the administration succossfilly ex cept that law is ropealed." The last few days have, without ques tion, witnessed a decided change in the minds of Senators With re gard to the obnoxious measure, and it is a general oinion that when (lhe subject next comes up in thle Senate the vote will be a v'ery large onoein favor ofits re OPPosED TO WgOMAN $UFRIAOE. --"A negro preachier of the Gospel, doubtless a little inspired, on being asked if he was in favor of wvojnan suffrage, with great p)omp: 'No, sar.

The writer of this comnunica tion, has presumed to warn plan tors about neglecting the culture of corn and other grains, yes overy thing liko food and provis ion, for domestic use. A wiso 4 courso ought to dictate that cot. ton production should be a secon dary consideration with the far mor, who desires to sce the South i rise once more to prosperity, and i permanent importance. In tho history of all political I organizations, their rilo and sway must terminate sooner or Iater-, and a reasonable, deduction leaves I us to ho})0, that the o)0ression 1 and persecution, and mad follies of Radicalism, which means Pur- i tan control of the country, is to i close some day ; recent develo) ments, we think, )oilt to the ap pearance of garigreno on the body I politie. The industiial avocations of 4 twelve millions of pOp11 in the Southern States have been over turned, and a largo portion of its useful labor been destroyed by frenzied legislation in Congress A change of front has therefore become a necessity, and will have to be adopted, if an element of labor is to supersede that which is dwindling, and must die out. Much has been written aid said relative to emigrants being in duced to como to the Cotton States. The elimato and appre hension of a want of healthfulness is not the difficulty, for we main tain that ex)erielce has shown as great a degree of health and lon-i gevity to foreigners in the South as is found in the mol-0 Northern States ; but all emigrants natural ly enquire what they will find to eat in Georgia, Alabama anld South Carolina.

Large crops of cotton and a fortune in one or two years was the speCulative stimulant. Corn, peas, potatoes and such things, to support man and beast, were too insignificant to be worked, when 75 cents to $1 por pound could be realhzed on a big cerol) of' cotton; but, alasI adverse causes have left them without cotton, corn, or any thing else, and many have lost their lands ; and, at, this time, a state of p)overtyv, if not (lest itution, exists among w'hites and( blacks truly lamonitable, with credit no where. Many are compelled, this season, to contract with dlissolute and idle freedmen- to work two (lays weekly, giving as a compensation land to cultivate and lodgings.

ACRLIA 's UNFoTUNATP YOUNO MAN. Tile facts in the following case came to Ine by letter from a young lady, who lives in the beautiful City of San Jose. Sheis perfoctly unknown to me, and simply signs horsolf "Aurelia 311aria," which may possibly be a fictitious name. But no matter, the poor girl is al most heart-brokon by the misfor tunes shlo has undergono, and so confuisod by the conflicting coun sels of mis-guided friends and in sidious enemies, that she (1008 not know What course to pursue in or (er to extricate herself, from the web of difliculties in which sho is almost hopelessly involved. In this (ilemma, she turns to ie for help, and supplicates for my gui dance and instruction, with a Imov ing eloquence that would touch tbo heart of a statue. Hear her Siad story : She says that when she was six teen, she first met and loved, with all tile devotion of a passionate nature, a young man from New Jersey, named Williamson Breck enridge Caruthers, who was only six years her senior. They wero engagod with the freo consent of' their friends and relatives, and for a time it seeied as if their career was destined to be characterized by an immunity from sorrow be yond the usual lot of humanity. But at last the tido of fortune turned. Young Carthol.hrs bceamo infected with the small-pox of the most virulent type, and when ho recovered from his illness, his face was pitted like a wafflo mould, and his comeliness gone forover. Aurelia thought to break off the engagement first, but pity for her unfortunate lover, caused her to postpone tle marriage for a sea ton and give alnotle trial. 'lho very day befbro the wed ding was to have taken place, Breckenridge, w-hiile absorbed in watching the fligit of a balloon, walked into a veil, fractured one of his legs, and it had to be taken off above the kneo. Again Aure lia was m1oved to bireak theengage ment, but again love triuimplied, and sie set t io day for ward and gave him another haince to re form. And again.misfortune overtook the unhiappy youth. Ife lost, one arm by tle premiatiro discliarge of a Fourth of' Jily cannmon, and within three in iths got the other pu1ll out by a carding machine. A urelia's heart was tl most, crushed by these hatter Calamities. Sho Could not but he deeply grieved to see her lovCI passing fioml herm by piece-me10cal, feeling a41-1 she did, (linth he could not, last forever, itunder this disastrous process of' redtie tion-yet knowinig of' o w ay to stop its dreadfid earer, and in hor lespair, she almost regrete d, (like brokers who hold on and lo:e), that she had not taken him at first., be fore lie had suffered such an alarm. ing depreciation. Still, her b)rav cry bore her up and sho resolved, to bear wit,h her friend's unnautur-al dlisposit.ion yet a lit tle longer. .Again the wedding day ap. proach ed, andl again diIisappoinit men t overshad owed it. ; (Cnathors fell ill with (erysip)elas and lost, the use of' one of his eyes ent irely. The friends and relativ~es of lte br'ido considering that she htad al - r'eady putt up with mor- tihan could ho reasonably expectedl of her, niow enme f'orward and in istedl that the match should lbe birok en ofr; but after' wavetring awhile, A urelia, with 1that noble and( gencrons spirit w hich didi her credhit, said that she hiad r-eflected calmly on the matter, anid .sould not dliscover that Blrekenridge was to blame. So shie ox tended the time once more, and lhe broke his other leg. It was a sad day for the poor girl, whten she saw thle surgeons reverently3 beair away the saws, whose uses she had1 learned by previous experience, and her heart, told her ithe bitter tr-u th that somne more of her lover had gone. She felt that thie field of her' aff'ootion~ w~as growing more and more cir' cumnseribed every (lay, but once more she frowned dowvn her rela tives and( renewed her betrothal. Shtortly before the time set for thte nuptials ano.thor disaster oc cur~redl. There was but one man scalped by the Owen Rivet' Indi ans last year'. That man was Williamsont Brochonridge C a r ut thor's, of New Jersey. ieo wans hurirying home with happiness in his hoi't, when he lost his hair forover, and in that hotar of bit tot:noSs he almost cuirsed tho mis taken ineroy that had 0p'ared his head. A l last Aurehia is in ser'ious ner. ploxity as to what sho ought to do. Sho still loves her Breelcen ridge, she twrit.es with tri6 wo. manly fdeing-still loves what is left of him-but her parents are bitterly o1 posed to the match, becauso he had no proportY, and is disabled from working, and she has not stifilCiOnt means to sup port both comfiortably. "Now what shall she do ? she asks with painful and anxious solici tudo. It is a delicato question ; it is ono which involves tle lifolong happies of a womlan, and that of noarly two thirds of a man, and I feel that it would be assuming too great a responsibility to do nmor0 than mak a imori.e sugges tion in the caso. .1ow would it do to build to him ? If Aurelia caln afford the expense, lut her Furnith her nitilated lover with wooden arms aild legs, and a glass eye and a wig, and give him anlo ther show; give him 90 days with out grace, and if he does not bireak his neck inl the meantime, marry hii and tako the chances. It does not seei to me that thero is much risk, any way, Aurelia, be cause if lie sticks to his propensity A). damaging hiiself Overy t iile ho sees a good opportunity his next experiient is bound to fin ish himl), and theln you are all right, you know, marriod or sin gle. If married, the wooden legs and such other valuables a.s lie may po8sscs8 revert to the widow, and you see you sustain nO act1ual loss save the cherished fragment of a noble but unfortunate husband, Who honestly st.rive(l to do right, but whose extraordinary inistincts were against him. Try it, Maria. I have thought the matter over carefully and well ; it is the 01113' chance I see for you. It would have boon a happy conceit on the part of Caruthers ifr he had started xtr ; i 4 l a I1k ,1. JnIIoLI. IJ se I %U I 01 ,ar first ; but since h has seen fit to choose a different policy and string hiniself out as long as possible, I do not think we ought to i >braid himl) fror it if' lie liked it. e d o he best wo can under the circoin stances, and try not to feel exas porated at him. Put Him Through. Not long since a braco of lovors from the intorior entered an up. town photogirph saloon, and wanted their pietumires taken.

At last, growing imnpatient, and dos-. p)erate, she resolved to try3 an cx peQrimelnt, wiiichi she considlered inf'allible, and exclaimed; "I dlon't koer if ther'e is folks 'roiuntd." She enjoined the operator to standl ready at the camecra.

J To the Editors of tA Courier.--As >ur Stato is making great strides >f progress in.the race of prosper ty, it may not bo amiss to koop ,ou informed of the various enter )rises that are being undertaken broughout the State, and with his view, I propose, to give you brief sketch of the prospects id progress of an enterprise with vlich you are probably faimiliar, md which has been .lately com nonced in this sectio : It is yroposed in au short time, o open' books of su scription to ho Vaucluso Manufa.. uring Com. any-the capital to to $500,000, ixty per cent. of w ich will be )aid in when the who e stock is ta [en, and the balancc, forty porl ent., will be called in-, in four in (alinents within twCIve monhs. )f this capital it is :proposed to pond $400,000 in the orection of a ifill of 16,000 spindles in fine ,oo(ds, or 14,000 spindles in heavy 'abries. There is at Vaucluso a magilifi ,ent water-power of 48 feet fall, ud 300 horse power, tle banks )f which are so steep, that a dam >f less than 600 feet and a caial )f 300 fiet can secure it. In 1859 here was crected a stone dam, vhich was half completed, at a .ost of between 63,000 and $4,000. nd which stands now. It can be ompleted now, it is said, at a cost >f $20,000, including the cost of Iriving wheels.

With those great advantages as to water power and locality, and wvith the improvements on the place, much confidence is felt in Lhe success of the entOrprise, in aso the capital is raised.

"The oldest inhlabi tan 1" cannot remnem. bor the time when there were so many people anxious to serve their country in aill sorts of ca.. paci tics.
