V-NO. 110. pS?i??"^ Ii nc wm Fnmiiy at W?onIngton. "Sigma," tbe correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, in a recent letter given the following account of Mn. Grant's relatives who have been brought into notico by the recent Presidential election : In the argot of the "ring" and "sport" there are many expressive phrases. Tho "light," or "feather weights," nro among them. They are picturesque terms, il? lustrating their meaning by their pound, even. We aro threatened with a family of this nature. Families in Democratic influences are always obstacles. Now, in that of the one referred to, it is the num? ber of its members that make it formida? ble. It is certainly better to be born iucky than rich. The old proverb is forcibly illustrated in the case of the family of the estimable lady who now pre? sides at the White House. A New Eng? land Senator is credited with the honor embodied in a reference to General Dent, "as only a dent," and therefore not to bc noticed. But, with all their family con? nections, there are so many Dents, thal it is not altogether improper to considei them as sui generis. They are not un? like the Blairs in one respect-that oi attaching themselves to the publie crit -but they aro very different in the in tellectnal measure, by which cither mus! be considered. Visitors to the White House will no tice, seated daily in tho large ante-cham ber into which callers go, a portly, wei ? preserved, hale old man, whose whit? I head and ruddy face tells of good li vin? I and florid health. He always ocoupie: r an arm-chair, close to the North-east win dow, which is next to tho desk occupiec k by tho "card-bearer in ordinary.' I Around the old gentleman aro always t< I be seen a number of listeners, paying rc spootfal attention to his garrulous bu I not senile gossip. The fact that ho i the father-in-law of tho Prendent nc I counts for most of the attention bestow \ ed upon him. "Colonel," as the old gen i / tleman is called, is a well-preserved spe I cimen of the hearty, yet chivalric, piar ter of half a century's experience. H was a slaveholder during that period, an judging by the little stories in circule tion, had all the good natured contenir, for the tanner family whose sou morrie I into his own. I doubt not it was deeu T ed, in paternal circles, a great lowerin of the family dignity to allow Jese ' Grant's sou, army officer though he wai to marry their daughter. The males of the family I have sec do not appear to take after the fat he Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sharpe resemh him most closely. He has a large f nun and large head KISO. The two best know Dents here are thin and spare in fram wit h small heads, narrow, long ari sharp faces. Lieutenant Dent-Goner l>y brevet and courtesy-is a man i about Grant's age. He is the fussiest i all mortals, in manner and appearanc Emphatically "airy" in style, his bra , appears to be as gossamer as his manne j I have seen him walking the street, < i strutting in the ante-chamber, when 01 I could read in all his actions os the su I total of his thoughts: "Look at me! A I mire mel I am the great Dent. Y( can only reach the President th rn nf. me. I am eyes and ears for his Exe* louey, and, in faot. am bel" I wasgoii to say that the "General" was arroga to most, but sycophantic to some, must be said to his credit, however, th after all his arrogance, he is no respect of persons, as witness the dislike many Senators to him. General Dent ' about five feet ten, sparo frame, sm head and sharp features, weather-beat in hue, and a general expression of soi day drying up and blowing away. Judge Louis Dent is a man of mc pleasing appearance, as he has need be to impress the people of Mississip] as their future Governor should. He a lawyer, r man with some humor, wi considerable mental activity, though doubt the originality or breadth. He a small man in stature, less in heip than Grant, of slender, well-knit fran quick and vivaoious in speech and fi ture. Judge Dent is the best specimen the family I have seen. Ho was f< merly n pinn ter aud Blave-holder in M sissippi, and being a Union man, 1 during the rebellion. He is undonbtet a moderate Republican, but nmbitk enough to allow himself to bo used those who ore not. His first idea was secure the . onatorship, but that see to have boen parceled out in advan Dr. Sharpe, United States Marshal this District, is a brother-iu-law of 1 Dents, as is also Colonel Casey, Coll tor nt New Orleans. Sharpe is a man respectable ability, yet is really p sessed by an iden that he can be oleo to the United States Senate by a Vii nia Legislature, of whom about si: members have served in the rebel ar or held office under tho Confedera Thoy won't do anything half so dece and so he had better not lay the "flat ing unction to his soul." There is i another brother, who holds, under G Rawlins' appointment, a sort of gem sutlership to the posts in Gen. Sc field's department. He lately boasted in New York that ho was making moro money than any other member of the family, and the newspapers knew nothing of it. Tho President's own family does not seem very troublesome. The business of obtaining and using patronage seems in this, ns in other administrations, to be monopolized by tho brother-in-law. Coolie Lulior at thu Som li. The Legislature of Tennesseo provided for an Emigration Commission, and Rev. Hormaun Boknm is iu our city in tho ca? pacity of Commissioner. His views as to the real need of tho South are correct. They do not accord with tho movement toward China for laborers. He says that the trouble with the South has been the want of a solid middle clans. There had been until very lately the aristocracy of planters and slaveholders on tho one hand, and the slaves and ignorant poor whites on the other. No middlo cir., s hod existed to carry forward progressive ideas and insure social and political sta? bility. Hence tho war and the great debt that now oppresses the nation. Mr. Bo? kam properly regards tho efforts now be? ing made to obtain millions of coolies as unfortunate, since they are calculated to supply tho place of the late slaves on the plantations, and to prevent tho building up of the much-needed middle class. Ho says that the Germans of Tennessee will array themselves against these now attempts to virtually re-establish slavery, and it is to be feared that tho Chinese question will become ono of great mag? nitude and embarrassment throughout the whole country. Mr. Bokam'8 labors are in behalf of the middle class in Tennessee. Ho de? sired to strengthen it by inducing Ger? mans, Irish and Americans of solid cha? racter to emigrate to that State, and to enjoy the advantages which tho recon? struction of her social system and the consequent development of her resources will afford. He will extend his opera? tions to Europe, for tho purpose of in? ducing many to embark with Tennessee for their destination. From 1850 to 1860 the average number of emigrants was 260,000 per annum, and for the past three years it has been about 300,000. It is estimated that they bring with them monoy and other effects to the average value of $100 each, and the produotivo capacity of every able-bo fted immigrant is worth at least $900. If we receive 100,000 able-bodied immigrants per year, the increaso of national wealth from this source amounts to 8100,000,000 per an? num. Tho averago value of tho labor of Massachusetts, by tho census of 1860, was 8220 per capita, including men," wo? men and children. This would make over 300,000 immigrants, worth $66, 000,000 a year. These immigrants would give to the South a substantial middlo class, and wo hope for Mr. Bokam tho greatest sncoess in his work. [Cincinnati Times, July 16. ? i VIRGINIA-HER PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN? ING.-The New York Journal of Com? merce refers thus hopefully to Virginia's immediate and futuro prospects: "Richmond papers note a decided im? provement in real estate prospects since the election. Sufficient timo has not yet elapsed for effects to show themselves, ont it may be judged from many indica? tions that there will soon bo an increased demand for Virginia lands. Some peo? ple nave doubts about the recognition of Virginia as a State under tho Walker government, bnt these will probably not be realized. After some little opposi? tion from extreme radicals, Virginia will be let in, and her Senators and Repre? sentatives will take their seats. In an? ticipation of these events, movements to emigrate to the old Stato aro now on foot in several parts of the North. A num? ber of-gentlemen in New Jersey aro spoken of as having organized and ap? pointed a committee to go to Virginia, and inspect lands offered them by Gene? ral Imboden, tho immigration agent of the State. They intend to buy farms of from 500 to 1,000 acres apiece, if prices and other conditions aro favorable. From the reconstruction of Virginia ou a con? servative basis will dato thc era of a re? newed prosperity, greater perhaps than she has ever enjoyed before." Tho following obituary uotice recently appeared in a Spauish journal: "This morning our Saviour summoned away the jeweler, Siobnld Illtnaga, from his shop to another and a better world. Tho undersigned, his widow, will weep upon his tomb, as will also his two daughters, Hilda and Emma, tho former of whom is married, and tho latter open to an offer. Tho funeral will take placo to? morrow. His disconsolate widow, Ve? ronique Illmaga. P. S.-This bereave? ment will not interrupt our business, which will bo carriod on as usual, only our place of business will be removed from No. 3 Tessi de Teisnturiers to No. 4 Rue de Missionaire, as our grasping landlord has raised tho rent." The Mills House will bc opened about tho middlo of October. Sp?cial KTotioes. A Card-Southern i.lfc Inn? ra nee Com? puny, Atlant* Department. To the People of South Carolina : Tho abovo Company waa organized in 186G, in consequence of tho wholosalo forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. Thc unparalleled success of tho enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the ap? pearance of honesty. Wc keep all our money at home to build up our impoverished country-every dollar of proir um beiug safely invested in tho State from which it is dorived. Tho iustitution is purely Southern, and hence should appeal with great force to tho patriotism aud sympa? thy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to mako war on other companies, but to exhibit tho special advan? tages oiTered by this purely Southern Compa? ny-founded on patriotism and Bolid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-tho truo test of a company's strength, is second to nono on this continent-being nearly 300 to 100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted tho sympathies of our people, tint hat also secured their hearty co-operation. Wc havo secured 500 policies in Soxth Caroline since tho 10th of February. We numbei among our Directors Qou. Wado Bampton ant Col. Wm.

July 23 2mos BUMMER PERILS-HOW TO ESCAP THEM.-It will not do to trifle with the heal in hot'weathcr. Vigor oozes through the sk at evory pore, and it is by physical vigor ou that unhealthy influences can bo baffled ai repelled. The vital clements are ?vaporai in perspiration. Intense heat couverts a m into a self-acting pump, and tho moisture tb is pumped out of him is derived from thc wc springs of lifo within him. There is a gre need, therefore, that these sources of physic strength should be in a condition to bei without danger or inconvenience, the ext rai dinary drain. If they are not in such a con tum, the individual becomes languid aud lo spirited. Tho main thing is to keep the digestive i paratuB iu good working trim; for if tho a mach, tho purveyor of the system, does duty thoroughly, the liver, the bowels, I brain, and tho nervous system, being di nurtured, will be likely to do theirs. In vi of these facts, it is manifest that a power and wholesome vegetable tonic like IICSTI TER'S STOMACH BITTERS ia especially quired at thia enfeebling season. It is the m admirable of all correctives and invigorar and for this reason -it does not over-stimul the system. The proportions of aperient, to and stimulating components are so judiciou graduated, that the processes of invigorat and purification go on simultaneously, and undue excitement is created in the circul?t or tho brain. All undedicated stimulai however pore, c^ci*" the pulse and the nerv system. Their exhilarating effeot ia teni pori and when it passes off, He physical and m tal depression they were employed to rem returns in an aggravn ter* form. But this is tho case when HOSTETTER'S BITTERS taken aa a stomachic and nervine. The m cinal herbs, roots and gums with which t are impregnated neutralize the exciting p ciple of the rye spirit, which forms their ba and which ia, in itself, the most wholesom all the varietios of alcohol.
