Sumner's People-An Original Letter from General Washington. In Pollard's "Southern History of the First Year of the War " an original letter from General Washington to onC of the immortal Signers (and still pre. served in the family), is for the fistt time allowed to meet the public eye. It was written from Wnshington's head ,quarters, near Boston, in th.e midst of the struggle for American Independence. The picture it draws of Massachusetts people is strangely different from what they have sought with such pertinacity to impose on the public as a trne repre. .sentation of their character. If Wash. ington was not mitakn in his jndg. ment of "these people." many of them i19 775 were much the same as the present generation showed themselves in seeking to fill their quota with ne groes obtained from distant States, and by seizing freshly lauded emigranta and forcing them into the army, and who now, under the lead of their Sumners and Wilsons, seen determined to keep up a war of strife and bitterness, and to prevent a reconstruction of the Union. 'The letter to which we refer will doubt. less prove interesting to our readers, and is given below as it is printed on pages 331-2 of the volume referred to: CAMP AT CAMBRIDOG, August 29, 1775. 1 DEAR Sin: * * * As we have now nearly completed our lines of de. fence, we have nothing more, in my .opinion, to fear from the enemy, provt. ded we can keep our men to their duty, .and make thom watchful and' vigilant;, but it is among the most difficult tasks I ever under-took in- my life to induce these people to believe that is or can be - danger till the bayonet is pushed at their breasts ; not that it proceeds from any uncommon pro,wess, but rather from an unaccountable kind of stupidity in the low;r class of these people, which 'believe me, prevails too generally among officers o the Massachsetts 'part of the army, who are nearly f the same kidney with the privates, add adds not a little to iny diffidulties, ,as there is no such thing As getting officers of this, staip to oeert 'thimselves i can ing orders iito eeutions.

In this case every gentleman wIl stand an equal chance of being promoted, according to his merit; in the other all offices will be confined to the inhabitants of the four New England Governments, which in my opinion is iin politic to a great degree. I have made a pretty good show amoig such kind of officers. as the Massachusetts Govern. ment abounds in since I came to.this camp; having broken one colonel and two captains for cowardly behavior in the action on Bunker's Hill; two cap tains for drawing more provisions 'and pay than they had men in their compa ny, and one for being absent frot his post when the enemy appeared there and burnt a house just by it. Besides these, I have at this tinie one colonel, one major, one captain, and two subal. terns, tinder arrest for trial. In short, I spare none, and yet fear it will not all do, as these people seem to be tod inat tentive to everything but their interest. * * * * There have been so many great and capital errors and abuses to rectify-so many examples to make, and so little inclina. tion in the officers of inferior rank to contribute their aid to accomplioh this work, that toy life has been nothing else (since I came here) but one contin nal round of vexation and fatigue. In short, no pecuniary recompense could induce me to undergo what I have; es pecially, as I expect,, by showing so little countenance to irregularities and public abuses, as to render myself very obnoxious to a great part of these people But as I have already greatly exceeded the bounds of a letter, I will not trqu. ble y6u with matters relative to my feelings.

WIESTERNM ETIQUETE.-A Yankee traveler, who. saw .lqe livo hoosier wrote to his mother as'folloWvs:" "Western people," said lie, "go to their deaLi on etiquette. You can't, tell a man here that he lies, as you do down East, without fighting. A few days ago a man was telling his neigh bors. in my hearing, a pretty large story. "Rsys I, 'stranger, that's a whapper.' "Says he, lay there, stranger.' "Apd, in the twinkling of an eye, I found myself in a ditch, the worse for wear and tear." "Upon another occasion, says I to a man I never saw before, as a woman pasm d : "That isn't a specimen of your West. ern women, I should think t" Says he, "You are afraid of fever and agues, stranger, ain't you ?" "Very much," says I. Well," replied he, "that lady, is p wife, and if you don't apologise iu two minutes, by the honor of a gentlemnan, swear that these two piat.os' (which he held in his hatid) shall cure you of that disagreeable disorder entirely; so don't fear, stranger.

Written in reply to "On Mar. rying" that appeared in the Xeios of the 22d March.-Ooidsboro News. jlames Stephens Escaped. The Dublib orresp ondetit of the New York New.;"Uader datb -'bf March 8th, an nounces the escape from that city of the re nowned James Stephens, the Head-Centre of the Fenlahi. 'Ie says: O6 Saturday evening, at 6.40, or there. Abouts, Ave men-seated in on open carriage might be seen deourling along one of our prinolpal.streetsi In which apprrently with no qther resson . tha to take a drink, they 4arelessly hauled up in tront of a small ho. tel;-situat.td by th4 most direct route, from baif a mile to mile from the post, office The men did not dismount, however, but without any preconcert, agentleman emerg ed carelessly from tho front door., and after a moment's parleying entered the vehicle and Was driven off with the party, as if for a Suntay evening's pleasure ride. They were soon on the ligh road, and, unless their movements had been anticipated, the party were in no danger of being intercept. ed. The longest distance between us and Dublin became the word, and the wheels of the vehicle whistled rapidly. And there was reason for this, f3r th sixth personage who had entered the carriage was no less than the Head-Centr6, the daring of whose su10esbful escOpO will, in a day or two, be the theme f every tongue and the wonder of every confiding Irishman The clock struck 8- Stephens was half way du the road; and the police was still debating the possible authenticity of their inforihation. But there was now no dan ger except front pursuit, and on, on the ear. riags sped with the speed of a railway train-every mile lessening the danger and rendering the probabilities of a suqq_essAIM pursuit more and more problematiori. This was kept up for three hourr, and at length the patIpg and waried steqedb were hauled up when the road led upon a low, sandy bit of shore about. three-fourths of a mile from a small town,.of which, nobody in America has ever heard of before. I need not offer a word in explanation, except that it lies at a distance oS thirty miles or thereabouts, due north from Dublin. And here, at this point.of the shore, as if conjured by some magio of Stephens, no sooner. had the party slighted than A ISItxo SMAC; made its appearance sudenly, some few words of recognition passed hurriedly be tweea-the fMmjner 1oe ante ef thefearriage and the oocupaht, of epoat, and James Stephens stopped on boarO-having thus successfu 'eluded the' utmost Itiventis of the kete detectives In England, Theo the boat s rapidly from the shore further a rther out, datil tht Tbd seemed indistint in the darkness. and the sleepy bulk of # yessol IQomed out of, the darkness into view"of the oncupatits of the Castle.
