O^feiceni.] The subjoined letter was written by a negro boy, a good mecbafno, once the alare of JOHN ANDBEWS, Esq., 8 sugar planter of Iberville pariah. It shows the state Of feeling which exists on the part bf sensible freedmen towards their former masters, their attachment to horde, their appreciation of the comforts they onoe enjoyed and the promotion* they experienced. If left to the guidance of their own sentiments freedmen would in ,m?Bt cases return to their homes and resume their for : habits, to enjoy the benefit of the advice anfrfclend dp of their old masters: - ^ R GALVESTON, May 81, 1868^: t 3HH ANDBEWS, Esq., Bayou Goula, IbOrviB? pa' La : .

NEW ORLEANS, Juno 15.- COTTON-The market con tinned extremely dull to-day, with tho inquiry confined to a few brokers, who were unwilling to go on unless at reduced rates, and the sales were consequently oonfined to 350 bales, the largest purchase of which was at a price showing a filling off of 2 If not 3o from Wednesday's figures. There were, however, only a few factors who were willing to make any material concessions, most of tuem adhering firmly to their previous pretensions. Under these circumstances we omit our regular quota? tions, remarking that on Wednesday good ordinary rated 33 to 35c, low middling at 37 to 39, and middling at 41, and that to-day good style low middling sold at 36.

A few sales were made in tbe morning at those figures, but the steamer's news and unsettled condition of the New Vork mar ket had a tendeuoy to depress the mtrket hore, and prices declined in the afternoon from 1 to 2 cents. War on the continent seems inevitable. The New York dispatches report ootton entirely nomi ntl at 88 to 40c. Tue steamer's news, with Liverpool dates'of the 7th says, Ootton declined %d. Middling Uplands 14%d. Sales in four days of 45,000 bales. Con? ference abandoned and war inevitable.

WASHINGTON, January 1,1864. Gentlemen:-Having stated it Verbally to you, I hav no hesitation in writing the fact, that I experienced marked benefit from your Hoofiand's German Bitter c During a long and tedious session of Congress, pressin and onerous duties nearly prostrated me. A kind frlen suggested the use of the preparation I have named, took his advice, and the result was Improvement o health, renewed energy, and that particular relief I so much needed and obtained. Others may be similarly advantaged, if they desire to be. Truly your friend, THOMAS B. FLORENCE. 3D From Rev. W, D. Beigfried, Pastor of Twelfth' Bap t i Church. PHILADELPHIA, December 26, 1868.-Messrs. Jones A Evans-Gentlemen:-I have recently been laboring un der the distressing effects of indigestion, aocompanie by a prostration of the nervous system. Numero n remedies were recommended by friends and some o them tested, but without relief. Your Hoofiand's Ger? man Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters n du oed me also to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to patent medicines, from the "thonsan and ono" quack "Bitters," whose only aim seems to b to palm off sweetened and drugged Uquor upon the com mun i ty, in a sly way; and the tenden oy of whioh, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation I took it with happy effect. Its action not only upon the stomach but upon the nervous system, was prom p and gratifying. I feel that I have derived great and pe manent benefit from the use of a few bottles. Very re pectfully youra. W. D. 8EIGFBIED, No. 2S4 Shackamaxon-street BEWARE OP COUNTERFEITS.

THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK. DAILY, SEMI-WEEKLY . AMD WEEKLY. TO THE PUBLIC. THE NEW YOBK NEWS HAS BATTLED AGAINST despotism for four years of blood and terror, In assertion of the sanctity of the Constitution. A patriot? ism auffielen tly broad to embrace both sections has been Its only guide, and it refers now with honest pride to ita record to show'that it has not turned to the right ortho left under all the violence of arbitrary power. True to is principles as THE NEWS has been through the reign of terror, it challenges public confidence in i honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present day opens t THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Stan d lng now as ital ways has, on the iuylolabUity of the.Oo stitution, accoi lng to the interpretation^ the etr^e constraetioniate, it presenta a rallying ground for ?BM both sections, who are friends o.I a generous conserva- . tism. As a true and tried expon ant of sectional amity? 1 occupies a position which makes lt the .fitting media t o, in holding rip to the party of ord sr in both sections,' in? terests and principles that gave breadth and vitality to their alliance. As an 'intersectional agent, devoted to freedom of election, to trial by jury, to the sanotitjr. the kaban corpus, and opposed now, as for four yean ot terror it noa been, to the centralization that daren to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places Itself as a candidate for support before lb great body of this once free peo pie. The circumstances of the mt ment make the dissent. mination of the principles of TBS NEWS a duty of in? dividual patriotism. Every mani who concurs in it doctrine must, if he entertain ? true sense of freedom? do so in no spirit of indifference, bnt rather with th? earnestness of a high trust. Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty to do so, the proprietor places tb. canvass he makes here of thc public generally in th? hands of Ihose men who give him the approval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS can not avoid the conviction of duty which is here pointed out as tho ground of the request,' that he urges its claims for a wider support upon ell o? hui friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to thc cause of "strict construc tion,*' intersections! con? ciliation, and aU the rights of the citisens nuder tue sy p tem, set np by our fathers, of liberty regulated by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives throughout the country to discharge to their conviction s of political right at thin great crisis in the country's ?fortunes, the duty of giv? ing tc. the influence of his parer, daily, semi-weekly, ox weekly, the wider power for good which it seeks hero through the service of its indi vldaal'supporters.
