, \\’.isrit.vm.'o.~r, Feb. 19, 1866.

My Dear Sii—.-"i have been prevented by a
'.t:sric.ty of citciiiiistanocs from réplyiirg ll)-
,vr;oi- highly esteemed favour of the l2.li, until
this Hi nuent.

lc assured, Sir, that the interest you have
taltr-n.in my C0llC€l’llS,Hl‘lI the wishes and sen-
timents you express with regard tome, will
t;-vet be borne in grateful and pleasing recol-
lr-.t-.tion, the more so, as I feel myself forced to
itecottte an exile froiti nty cottrrtry, and from.
:t .~e:-rvice, among the officers of which, there
is but one it ho has served as long as myself.
{Jo »:n.i. Rodgers was tliejirst‘ Lieutenant, and
I “"115 tliefirsl Midsliiprtittit, \<-ho entered the
})l’t“S:-ft’ Nav_v,aud wfc-’ scrred together on-board
tlr-=_firsl frigate that was launclicd.

Srmirld I determine on accepting the coin-
nizitttl offei'ed inc in the Mexicali Navy,I beg
you to be assured that I shall do so under the
tiiust thorough conviction, that I should fail
in my duty to myselfand my country, were I
to decline it.

Iiesentment for the’ past, (as sotne have
co‘.;jeciured,) will have nothing to do with my
dercttninatioii. It is true, I feel that I have
Dee i harshly dealt with; and it is true, that I
am almost every day tirade to feel that I am
lift? _r-ct restored to the good will and conti-
(IL!)-'.:'.: of the Executive. What is past, I can
forgive. The evils of the day, Ican bear,-
but I have the utmost dread of the future. I
feel that I have nothing to look for {mm the
Govt-trti.rieitt during the pieseitt Adiniiiistra-
tinn, but courtiutely and iieglt-ct. And seeing
that there is no controlling or prottscirng pow.
or, to wlroiu I cart look for redress, I cannot
hear the idea of remaining in a situation to bc
ti_Qiilll exposed to treaitnent, similar to that
which I have already experienced front the
govt-.ri‘.iiictit.

I ‘nave met with much sympathy from triy
fellow tziiizeris in geuerril, many of whom he-
licvc that I attt injured man, and many gen-
tlcntcn Ill Congress have assured me, that l
sltould receive from that body protection. To
this end, an ineffectual call has been tirade on
tlte Iilxeciitive for information.

I feel grateful for the sytnpatliy of‘iny fel-
low citizens, and to those in Congress, who
wished to protect me, but neither the one not
the other have bgeu able to relieve me for the
preserrt, or give me hopes of security for the
future. The prtriishitrcrrt to which I was sen-
renct-d, and which I have borne without inur-
ll‘itt:ll)£1,lldS passed off without any abatempnt
whatever. The Executive has been influen-
ced neither by the voice of the one, nor the
call oftlie other, but to the last has manifest-
cd :1 taoconr which has been increased by ev-
ery expression of the good will of others to-
ur-..d.~r me. This feeling, -\\'llICll has been be-

‘ "fir-nmy t’c_n:ia'r'nto my prejudice, an ltr.t'r--loom"

In tl~.:- Governtin-.itt, at least as long as I 03"

HON. M. DICKERSON.

 

A A rt.-‘..\'r)r. _ -

The freedom and ind.-perrdence of society
in London, arise greatly nom the IIOII-ll"lI8l‘o
course and unit iuterfereuceofneighbors. In
the country your neighbor is nailed to you like
a pale ofbrirk , there is no escaping frotn hitir;
lie is ticquaiuteil with every"dislt which comes
to your table, withevery new dress which you
put on, with your pursuits, your" haunts, your
difficulties, and your pleasiires. Were this
so in tnwn,ilrere would be no going on; but
the reverse is so much the case, that a next
door treiglibor’s transactions are as little known
to you as the secrets of the Div.-in ; that an
eccentric tgerttletiiart, an observer perhaps like
myself, may have frcqirentetl ti Coffee Housi-
for twenty years, wiilrotit the laiidlord’s being
inforined ofeither his name or abode.

You may be for weeks or months in tlie
satire abode, and yet only meet by accident at
l3lSl. It has often been so with tiryseli". I
once was next rootrr lotlger to an individual
even whose sex I did not know for a inoutlt.
This lodgcr kept bad hours, but otherwise had
notlrirtg to lead uh’: to discover that the room
was inliabitt:-d: the day being devoted to
sleep, and the night being passed abroad. I
occasionally heard the voice of a male and of
a feinale attendant; but the lotlger spoke so
low that no sotiiid escaped through the partr
lion. [understood that tt(for itsxgetttler wa~
yet neuter to tire) took lessons or wultZlttg,untl
trvicc.I heard strains on a tiiandaliuo. It at-
ways took its tea in bed, and its appetite inns!
be delicate for I once saw a brace ot larlt:.,
and another time a sweet bread, served up for
supper. lls apartinents were so mucti pct-
lutned, that I was altiiost suffocated each time
its door was opened ; and I met its footman
on the stairs, loaded with scents, washes, and
cosmetics. Empty bottles, which had coir-
tained rose, lrtveutler, and elder-flower water,
were always lying about; and I thrice espied
a pot of rouge on its (Il'6SSli.g table, by the side
of some false hair and some liuile tintiqite.——
" A l_ady,”said I, “ to a certainty.” This idea
was confirmed by the quantity of novelswlticli
ivereluouglit for it to l‘CZl(I,Flt](l- by its sleeping
with a favorite poodle dog. A visit ,from a
money lender, one frorir a bailiff, and one

it gave to the neigltlrorirrg jeweller, made rue
Iliiuk that this must be a most extravagaiii
woinan. Rings, opera and qiiizzittg glasfifist
and guady ptrrses,_antl ditiinond pins, were
"tut.-reasiiig daily. Another certain inark 0‘t
feuiinino gender was, that its washer woman
would stop taking directions for lrours-—rliui
its toilette occupied lialfa day, and that I 0

vetr.etrrrl it say once, “ You have not put
starch enough imo this fllU.\'fIIl'.”' Tliesenteucc
was li.~'ol<'cn,and I gathered no more.

Another day I heard it say, “ Sew a couple
ufstriirgs to this and give me iriy stays.” My
opinion was of course now confirmed, What
it dissipated Wrelch she inttst be! said I ‘to
l"Y5_elf- “ You have broke my lace,” it lispei:
ltlll._]USI at this tnoineut, with as much gentle
tress as it had been reading a novel.

The next day [saw a glass of brandy bro’r
up to its bed room. Worse and worse, tlto’t
I—an abandoned woman certainly I "fire
dtinsincreascd greatly, but the servant whis-
pfited S0 l0W lhfll. I Ilt'.Ve|' heard its 1)-,une_ I

It now fell sick, and was deriicd to ever; ’

were now the only "resources under embargo ;
as also perfunriug and playing with the dog.
It took opium at night too, a common trick
with hardliving ladies. But I was resolved to
get at this mysterious thing.

I On a Sutrday, about 4 P. M. a fair opportu-
nity riff:-red. It had lJ8t‘l'l dressing since noon;
and I heard nail brushes, hair brushes, tooth
brushes. oils, tinguents, sweet waters, paint,
patches, and boddice, all called. It whisper-
ed, “ Get me it coach ; I slian’t be home all

iiiglrt.” The door opcned—'-the dog preceded

itself. She’s in a riding habit, thought I; but

“ My master wont‘ be ltome to-day.’-’ -

I at‘ first considered this non-dcscript as
unique in its species ; but a loiiger residence
at the hotel procured tnelan opportunity of
seeing many copies, I was moreover told.
that the thing was quite a prototype oljfaslrioii,
tnuclr received, and, as the waiter said, much
looked up to by the young titer) of high style;
and, added I, -looked down upon by every,
man of sense.-—Hsrmt§It in England.

arrived only a few weeks before from her own
swate land, throwing the end ofa rope into
the cistern and moving it to and fro, went in-
to the yard to enquire she cause, and found
that she had lost the pail and was trying to
recover it. 'I‘lie’l‘ady told her to take the cis-
tern pole, and site would soon get it. “ Och,
