the trouble you have taken. I return you enclosed Mr. Mogomerie's letter. Mrs. J. joins me in kind salutations to you, your lady, Miss Stodard, and family, and beg leave to remind you of your promise. We will be happy to see you at the Hermitage. With high consideration and respect I am your friend, Andrew Jackson. The Hon'ble G. W. Campbell. From James Monroe. oak Hill, April 11, 1828. Dear Sir,--I was much gratified to receive, within a few days past, your letter by Mr. Warner, of St. Petersburg, althoa it was of very ancient date. Entertaining for you a sincere regard, founded on our service together at a very dificult period of public affairs, it affords me a sincere pleasure to find, that after the great lapse of time which has intervened, that a corresponding sentiment still exists on your part. I send you a copy of my memoir, which relates particularly to my claims, founded on my missions to Europe, but which also gives a sketch of the difficulties I ha

The battery was then divided, one section being three miles from the other, but both on the river. At sunrise on the 5th instant, the United States transport Warner, convoyed by the United States gunboats Signal and Covington, each mounting eight guns, came down from Alexandria and attempted to run past the battery. They succeeded, with considerable loss, in passing the upper section, and with the Warner in lead, unexpectedly encountered the lower section, commanded by Lieutenant Lyne, and so rapid was his fire that in fifteen minutes the Warner surrendered. The gunboats retired before the effective fire of these two guns and sought to shelter theirWarner surrendered. The gunboats retired before the effective fire of these two guns and sought to shelter their sixteen guns behind a bend of the river, above Lieutenant Line's position, where his guns could not reach them. When the transport and two gunboats succeeded in passing Lieutenant Yoist above, this gallant officer, unwilling to give up the chase, and animated by the most gallant impulse, limbered up and continued the pursuit as

We will take pleasure in being the medium of any desired communication.--R. A. Brock, Richmond, Va. Can New England rightly claim Captain John Smith as one of her heroes? It is very well known that poor old Virginia lost pretty much all by the war ; in fact northern writers have almost forgotten that we had a history down in this part of the country. George Mason, Patrick Henry, Edmund Pendleton, John Marshall are forgotten names; even Washington divides honors with Abraham Lincoln. We were not quite prepared, however, to see Captain John Smith transferred to the New England Pantheon; but we find a review in the New York Times of a work by Charles Dudley Warner, published by Henry Holt & Co., entitled: The Admiral of New England. Captain John Smith, sometime Governor of Virginia and Admiral of New England. A study of his life and Writings. We are pretty well gobbled up. What about the Peaks of Otter and Rock-fish Gap? Are they on the Penobscot River?--Central Presbyterian.

ere have been a small number of private institutions, though, of course, this very quality in the public schools has made it necessary that those private institutions that have been established here should be of an unusually high grade of excellence. The movement in this direction has, therefore, not been so strong as in many other communities, but the reasons for it are the same everywhere. The multiplication of private schools of a high order is not to be accounted for, writes Mr. Charles Dudley Warner, by an undemocratic reluctance to submit well-bred children to the associations of the popular schools. What is wanted, he continues, is an institution under individual management; not for mere experiments, but for development founded upon experience, and suited to the capacities and the positions of the great variety of scholars. It may be added that in some instances it is a wish on the part of the parent to place the child under school influences that are emphatically religiou

avered. The mere existence of such a figure, calm, simple, incorruptible, honored wherever he was known, and known prominently throughout Europe, was a valuable stay to the young republic in that perilous first half of the nineteenth century. But all his career in statesmanship and, perhaps we may add, the very books on which his fame seemed to himself to be founded, have now become a wholly secondary fact as regards the basis of his fame. They obtained for him his degree at Oxford, but Mr. Warner has well pointed out that the students were more far-seeing when they shouted, by way of applause, on that occasion, the names of Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane. It is after all, in Edmund Quincy's phrase, not specific gravity, but specific levity which often serves to keep a reputation afloat. When Irving came back to New York he might be seen, as George Curtis describes him, about 1850, on an autumnal afternoon, tripping with an elastic step along Broadway, with low-quartered shoes
