Baker?Dkah Siu : A week or two since I received a letter from you; also I have rearl letters from you to Colonels Buford and liootie. You have nobly discharged the trust wc have reposed in yen. You have laboriously, eloquently, and energetically done your duly to the South ; nil this you have done, and every true and honest Southern man must, sooner or later, acknowledge it and thank you in his heart for it. Your mission was a diflietilt one, and you have boCn misconstrued by some and wantonly slandered by others. Yet, if it is any consolation to von, you must know that in this you stand not alono. Indeed, every man who has taken an openly and manly part in defence of Southern rights, has encountered tho abuse of the North, nnd, what is still worse, the sneers and detraction of Southern men. The most ready weapon which comes to the hands of a man in the South, is, that tho end wo have in view is not the rights nnd interests of the slave States, but our own. They insinuate that tho money raised in the South is not to bo expended in her cause, hut to lie appropriated to the uso of Atchison, Buford, Iiussel, Boone, Stringfellow, &c. Now, every intelligent man who uses such weapons is a liar, and is conscious of being so when lie circulates or publishes such a charge ; nnd try- him in any emergency, when the South shall stand in need of all her sons, lie win prove ninisen a cownru or a traitor. T see that not even thunder and lightning , "will arouse the South. I doubt whether an i earthquake?a moral and political earth- I quake, shaking the institution of slavery to i earth, and bringing ruin upon the whole : South?would arouse her to action. In ; a word, inv only hopes now for Kansas ar?* < in the border counties of Missouri ; and, bytlic-bv. any one of ten counties I could mention have expended more money than any State of the whole South in this cause.? The Executive Committee for lvan-as Terri tory will have a meeting on tlie 18th of thi> I month, for consultation, when you shall hear i from us. If the South would do hut half her duty. 1 Kansas would be a slave State; and I hope ' we will bo able to effect that object, not j 1 withstanding the apathy of the slave States | ' and the energy of the free States, and all | 1 the open or secret efforts of the officers of; 1 tho Federal Government. J Yours truly, I I). U. ATCHISON, j In a letter to mo of the 20th Jul}-, dis- I heartened by the indifference of the South i ' to their appeals for assistance, and more j 11 deeply wounded by unjust charges against b some of the best and truest of her friends in Kansas, who have ruined themselves in her service, he says, dcspondinglv : ? At times I have almost come, to the con- i elusion to curse Kansas and quit the cause of the South. It is hard for a man to de-1 I vote all his time and energies and money to' 1 a cause, and receive nothing but abuse nn<l 1 slander in return, from those who should | I sustain and co operate with him : and to bo j the object of suspicion even to good men, is s worse than all. Vet, in defiance of all litis, ( t I will not abandon our cause so long a> j < there is the shadow of a chance for success,: s and this is the determination of most of our | friends in Kansas and Missouri. Our cause ' is not a hopeless one. We always have v Jiad, up to the 1st of March last, a majority ! r of friends in Kansas, and I believe we still j I have. I will give you my reasons for still i thinking so. The registered voters amount 1 t to near ten thousand, and this registry was' i made last winter and spring, and at least ! t nine tenthtof those voters are pro-slavery j > men, for the Abolitionists refused, as a gen- j I eral thing, to register their names, and the! ? reason for their refusal was, in my opinion,' c that they knew they were in a small minor-jf itv. It was not to preserve their consisten- I cy, for Abolitionists are consistent in noth- t ing except in villainy. Now, if our delegates to the Convention sball re for the Con stitution to the registered voters for ratifica- . tion or rejection, then we will ratify the i Constitution. If it is to be referred, as Gov. Walker savs, to all tho people who shall l>e in the Ter:itory on the day of voting, then we must and will have a majority at the polls on that day. If the South would but make one speedy and united effort, all would be safe. If Walker's plan, however, prevails, it will give us infinite trouble, but it will also give the Abolitionist* more.? "Walker lia? done us and our cause more injury than Halo, Chase, or any other Abolitionist could have done ; yet, I repeat, I do not despair. One more effort! It is the last we can make, and we will succeed. I am happy to find that Walker is fnllv understood at the South. A great many I Southern men have gone to Kansas this summer, and many more will go from this region. We do not give it up. I regret that I cannot devote iny whole time to Kansas affairs in this crisis. Now is the time , for the South to act. Yours truly, D. Ii. ATCHISON. There are over 15,000 tobacco plants- J tions in the Sooth, and their annual pro-1 * ducts may Ire valued at 814,000,000. J e f # ?;!' -,. ' ' ' . , l-iLJ !?!?L?lil-SB* Law and Medicine. We make the following extract from a , well written editorial of the Journal of . Commerce, upon the character and influence of the Learned Professions, and the necessity of thorough preparation to meet their groat responsibilities: When we consider the law in all ita subjective aspects, its dignity as a science, its 1 intimate relations to property, and the progress of society, to individual charactei and happiness, and to the legislation of nations, who can de'ermine the value and importance of the legal profession ? Its vn*t influence ' has been felt even among the feudalities and aristocracies of Europe. It was the very breath of the Magna ChaHn extorted by the baronial chiefs from King John at Runnymede. It has mingled itself with the en tire mass of our Anglo American institutions, | colonial, confederate, and constitutional.? It is at this moment the supreme power in the land, every member of the present U. S. Cabinet being, we believe, a lawyer by pre- i fession, as was every member of the last, I and has been almost all the Presidents. fv> | almost every leading mind in the legislative branches is a legal mind, while, as a inalter of course, each set on the Supreme Judicial Bench is similarly occupied. These, to<\ are the men whose eloquence has adorned the annals of the Republic, while it has ' echoed through the chambers of her Capi- ! tol. Now here are considerations sufficient to fill the most ambitious mind ; to elevate the purpose and the effort above the region of pettifogging and inspire the young aspi rant with a burning zeal to excel in the best ' walks of lite profession. But let him study i diligently, and be chiefly anxious at first t? j discipline the mind in that profound science. to gain legal knowledge, and not he in to ? great haste to leap into the arms of action. The profession of the law is useful to a man ( in a great variety of ways, as is evident, from the diversified stations which lawyers occu pv. None can so effectually elevate tin profession as those wiio belong to it. Uii s worthy men will creap into it, as into all 11 other departments of action ; but we think (j it is improving, and that our own woiidt-t j fill country furnishes a first rate field for tindevelopment of the talent of the profession 1 We may resume the subject in relation t<> ' the other professions.

How do the qualities of the rkilfm ' and successful phvsicin wind themselves in t to nil the sinuosities of the domestic heart. 1 t and hind the affections of a whole family to t; liia person when present, to his endeared j image when absent ! Hut besides his individuality as a practi ioner, the well educated phvsician has an ^ aiportaut general influence in society, no' 0 he lightly estimated.

At the end of the second day, the committee repeated their advice, but the eaeher replied that he must and would give n he boy a fair trial. The consequence was h hat the disorderly lad became the host ft cholar in school?and that boy was Wiliam L. Marcy, late Secretary of Slate.
