Squeeziug up through the mire and alluvium of the aforesaid valuable but neglected low lands like a "Cooter" in the early Spring, lie washes the mud from bis back in Gilky's diaphanous waters and brilliantly talks of diadems, gnlaxies, insignias, &c., as if he had never tried to locate the root of a "sawyer" shift a raft, or incise a mill dam. He writes of arenas as if he was raised in an Amphitheatre, perhaps because of the immense amount of sand he passed over while "Drainage Engineer" of the G. T. A D. Company. A whilo he wrote of Buffalo** us fluently as a Comanche coutd have talked of the same noble beast, only the Comanche would never have allowed himaclf to be led into believing that Buffaloes ever were known to roam the hills of North I'aoolct. Speaking of hills reminds mc of the elegant expression of "L." in one of his letters, viz.-? ' The country is very hilly except in a few small central elevation**."

Whittemore makes a plaintive appeal forhinielf, ami claims great honesty of nets and iuten- T ion ever since lie came to this State, which we night believe, if it were not well known that he ? ante here twelve years ago, as poor as Job's urkey, has been ip office nearly nil the time, villi a salary varying from $(>00 to $3,000 a jj( ear, and has made an independent fortune.?
