80 well did her resolution work,that in ten minutes more we were asbusy with our liasty preparations forflight, as if we had looked forward toit for a week. We were excited to thepoint of absolute quietude. But, inspite of steady nerves, our packingwas 01 a curious specimen or that dim-cul- t

art We simplified it exceedingly, tossing bur treasures Jo piles intoirunxs .and then loitering on thepeiilous' apex, taudin; on them, andxtamping on them, until they consolidated themselves suntcientiy to allowthe lid to fit in Its placerand the keyto turn in the lock. It was next toimpossible ta get any tiling to wear inthoce aya--b!ack particularly; thedema4rdTor.it far, exceeding any possi-ble- tupply. In spite of difficulties,however, I I was in deep mourninghad lately succeeded in procuring twonew dre?scs, and, oh, how dearlyprecious they were in my eyes ! onebeing a sort of brownish-blac- k serge,quite' eour.se tnoughv to shoot strawsthrough without injuring the texture,which I had thought deliriously cheapat three' hundred dollars a yard; theother an alpaca, almost deccut, at thevery moderate charge of three Ihousaud two hundred for the pattern. Thevendor had taken care to let me knowit was sold .thus cheaply because oneend was not perfect, having been wetwith salt-wat- er duiiug its passagethnoagR .tho i underground railroad.fcven these invaluable toilets sharedthe universal fate.. But France andCarrie, and I. had each some valuablejewels, souvenirs of other days, and wewasted : erane precious minutes con-feideri- ng

what to do with them. Shouldwe divide the chances, and leave them?No, said my godmother, emphatically.Her house was the handsomest in thetown, and in case of a general pillageit would go among the first Shouldwe secure them in "pads," and wearthem ourselves ? By no means ! If wefell into the hands of any of the rovinglauds belonging to the main army,the most trivial cause for suspicionwould result in the insult of a personalsearch. Alas! with many a propheticsfch, we put them into our trunkswith the rest. f. ? 1

" .

. The trunks themselves were presentl-y- tossed" into the baggage-car- t, andwe and they were at the neareststation, withiu. an hour from the timethat the council of war had hastilyapproved a retreat.

There somebody in authority inform-ed us that the Ltbt train had left tenminutes before.

I can see Mrs. V- - pale, nobleface at this momeut. The mere factof deciding to leave had Impressed usall with its absolute necessity. Wethree girls looked each at the other,and, then, dismayed, at our conduc-tress; Mrs. P wrung her hands.

My God!" she cried: "what shalwedo,?"

"It ain't no fort of use your tryingto get away, ma'am," said the station-maste- r,

kindly. He was well frightened . hituself, - "If therewas fifty tiains leaving, you couldn'tget faf. Listen to that!" - v;

Ah ! we heard it at last ! The soundwe had imagined and dreamed of solong fell upon our ears at last, verifiedin an instant the distant, dull roarthat seemed to rise rrom some

depth beneath our very feet. '

It was the cannonading at last. Everycheek, blanched, though three of ashad been under lire before. : :

"Where is it?" Mrs. P asked.almost whispering. :

.

"l here a no telling, ma'am, itcomes from the south, of course theway Micrman 19 coming. .But hownear, r how far, there is no telling.The wind is very still to-da- y, and in acalm like this you can hear a long

Mrs. P - considered a minute insilence, the station-mast- er eyeing herwith eyes enlarged by a vision of balls,and chewing a straw, we girls holdiugour dresses from off the damp, dirtySoar, waiting.

The sound of the firing, comes fromthe south, and may come from a greatdistance," she said with sudden de-cision. "We are going west, if we cango at all Mr. Brown, if there is anyIhinff still to have flats, baggageman,freight-car- s, any thing we will go.See, if you plcae, and let us know."

He went, and returned in five min-utes. ,

"There is the last freight-trai-n justleaving, madam. But my advice,such as it is, is, stay wheie you are.

That there train is last as sure to belo ik and burnt as this world is at theday of judgment. They'll take thetown, toot I know that Bat it'll bebetter for you you are tour womenail alone, ain't you ?" he iutemiptethimself, as this appalling fact thrustitself upon his observation.

Yes, we are," sakl Mrs P , almost laughing even at that minute-t- he

man looked so ludierout-l- dismayeJ. "But what of that?"

What of that ? Good God ! Fourwomen rushing out to meet an army,and asking me. 'What of thatr Butthey'll do what they've a mind, inspite of the devil blmsvir."

At this he seemed to despair of thepewer of argument He shook Lishead with slow despondency, antlwalked off. muttering.

Ia perhaps ten minutes after this Wefound ourselves placed oddly, enough.1 he train was a rrctgiit-trai-n, as lea:d,There were no more passenger-car- s,

I hto a freightCar it Was imnossiblcwe could bestowourselves, unless we could do withouta!f as well as liht Accordingly, wewere placed in a nondescript, attachedfor our esnecial behoof, whose ordinarypurpose was carrying live-sto-ck butnot of our sort, as a rule and whichlooked a good deal like a squarechicken-coo- p oa wheels. e seatedourselves on some canvass bags thatthe courtesy of the engineer had fishedUP from rome uniinagined storehouseof bag, and spread upon the dirtyfloor for Our convenience, the boardsin the said floor being so far apart, bythe-wa- that we had to use a .greatdeal of diplomacy to prevent our feetbeing caught lit the crevices, inus,on the floor, out knees drawn up underout chins, and our arms around themthe better to support ourselves, we satand stared at each other. Then, beingneither heroines, nor angel, but onlygirls, with the inherent weaknes.ethereof, the ridiculousness of our pottlion set us giggling.

cried France. "I .wonder if I loolmost like a duck or a turkey ?" - I

, "You behave much more, like 1

goose," said Carrio, reproachfully. "Tobe saying such thiugs, with soundslike that in your ears !" .

For all this time the voice of thecannon pursued us; aud, ns the carsran very much at their leisure rottouties and Federal bayonet presenting adelicately --balanced alternative thenoise of the train did little to mitigatethe 'long, . slow, tbunnerour sound.wh6h, iu spite of our increasing dis-tance, seemed to grow more and moredistinct every minate. r ': "Gir's, pray dou't laugh so!" saidMrs. P directly. "You knownothing of the daoger in which wemay be going we cauuot tell andsuch levity distresses me. Oh. thankHeaven ! we are away iu time!", -

She uttered this ejaculation fervent-ly, as a loud report fiAlowcd .immediately by a sharp vo'le.m. iV'm smallarms. ar;ostedour foolish ti Mug,

For one momeut longer le thoughtthe firing was at the town we had ju.--tleft, only beard with wonderful dis-tinctness. Our exclamations werehardly uttered when the train, whichha-- been running w ith constantly decreasing speed, . came to a suddenstand-stil- L Instantly our hearts werein our mouths; we turned simultaneously to look out between the loosely-board- ed

side of the cage that held us.In a low. marshy green field lying

below the high embankment itwa ahilly country, and there were manysuch were bn astworks, hastily thrownup; two or three small field-piece- s,

u n limbered and ready for action; anda hundred or two men in Confederategray., . What they were put there forremains as much a mystery L thepresent hour as it was at that minute.

Somebody in a lieutenant's uniformcame forward and spoke to the en-gineer. Listening with eyes andheart aad ears, we heard, alas !

"Don't go any farther," said thelieutenant -- "Yanks. are ahead tenthousand strong."

."(Join' back, then" calmly said theengineer, who practiced at least oneSpartan virtue lrevity.

"Hotter stay where you are," saidthe - lieutenant, arguraentatively."They are in front and rear Stone-man'- a

raid from Tennessee !"That was it, you see. We had fled

from Sherman, who was not comingat all, and bad thrown ourselves intoStonenian's arms !

Well. I am clad to remember thatwhen the momeut finally came whichwe had so long anticipated with suchbitter dread, it found us very quiet andseusiblc. After a few moments ofhe'pless expectancy on our part, some-body came to the door, or rather tothe open fpace at the end of the

in which we were, and toldus that we must descend the embankment, our position wing one of peril incase of suaden firing, adding that anattack was momently expected, andthat there had ben desultory firing allthe morning.

Whoever he was tins man was agentleman by nature. I shall neverforget his kindness. : It was not much,Indeed, that he could do ; but that ho

' -did."I:m sorry for the chance that briugs

you here ladies," said he, helping usdown from the car. "You see we can'tmake much of a fight, our men can't;there ain't enough of us. I fear youwill be lMlsooers before long, liut takethings quietly, and you'll get throughall right no doubt" '

"What arc the men here forJf theyc m't make much of a fight?" Franceasked, pertinently, and impertinentlytoo. I fear. "If they defend themselves, they will protect us."

"They'll hardly do either, miss,"said tlie mva, quietly touching hiscap. "We are just put here as a sortof sop for a half-ho- ur or so. The gen-eral hopes to get off with the ammunition-w-

agons, if we can stop the advance or the lauKiei long enough.Most of us are standing ou our owncraves to-da- v. Miss "

Then we began the dr scent We didnot talk much. There was an ache inour throats, I think, that would havemade crying easier than talRlog, afterthat simple phrase of the man whowas helping us. --

That embankment was three hundred feet high , at least was firmlypersuaded that it was ; red clay on thesurface oh, the dear old Carolina clay!how my eyes and my heart have achedfor a sight or you . and, as it had beenraining for three days, and was stilldrizzling, it was now red mud throughto level ground. For once in ray life,I was orthodox in regard to the ma-terial of which I was made. By thetime we. reached the bottom of thehill, it was patent to every sense thatwe were but "children of clay."

At first there was a little desultoryfiriug. which, to our untutored eyes.appeared to have no eppeciai purpose,aud to accompiisn none.

Then there was a silence a breathless silence lo us for a few minutesfor. bv the thrill in the air. the hush ofexpectancy behind us. the movementsordered, no doubt, but not understoodamong us of excitement in front weknew that the stillness was pregnantwith fate.

Then the cannon woke, for a mo-ment the charge faltered. The officerleading it, half turned, rallying hismen. lie rose in his stirrups, wavinghis sabre about his head, cheering Msmen ou maiint liecn t wrath in hiseyes and in his ringing voice. At theinstiut the warm words fell from deadlioi; the talne flashed, and droppedheavily from dead hands. Tho officerreeled and fell l'ko a log; his ftcaught in the ttirmp. j

Then a sound, such as may be heart!in hell, perhaps, but hns uo other echoou earth, sprang with one itnpub--from all tiioc brazen throats. Thefury of death and vengeance was in itThe cavalry tore forward, heedless ofthe tbuudering cannon. They reachedthe battery in a moment more.

We were of tuc latter, foe perhopsnrteen minutes nobody took any especial notice of us ; only some Germansol iiers strolled up, and walked aroundu?, regarding us curiously, and makingnow and then short ejaculations in tirehoneyed accents of their native tongue.

The officer said, "Yes? hum! ' andlooked at We werevery, muddy we girls and we mayhave bluslied. . He snuled.

Presently lie remarked that we hadbetter come "farther up," and be wouldsee what provision could be made frus. We followed him very meeklyand, arriving "farther up," fouud thesaid provision to consist of I he soakedtrunk of a fallen tree, aud an umbrella;we were politely requested to seat or--

Two or three other officers nowgathered about us, and began a conver-sation which was, on their part, chief-ly interrogatory. They were evidentlysuspicious of us. They did not believeMrs. P was Mrs. P .x Theycould not credit that we were merefoolish refugees rushing from one danger into another: or, as I heard anhonest Georgia "cracker"' express itafterward, "jtimpin' outcn one ashcorner into another wus' ash-corn- er !"I don't know 'whethor they su pectcdmasked batteries iu our pocket", rrconcealed dispatches in our hair, butevidently they were quite persuaded ofsomething in Denmark being very rotten indeed.

Baltimore, July 15, 1S7&'.My Dear Sir; Your letter of the

18th of July was duly received. Thedelay in answering it I do not now re-gret as what has since occured willenable me to do so to more advantagethan I could have done before. Thequestion with the people now iswhich of the two will they have for'their next President, U. S. Grant orHoraco Greeley? The former duringthe !ast three years, in ihe judgmentof all imparl ial nfen, has proved hisutter unfitness for the office ; the latter,duriug a peri xi of more than thirtyyears, as tite editor of a leading journal,has proved himself, in the judgment ofall impart:al and competent men, to bea man of extraordinary ability, perfectpatriotism, and incorruptible integrity.

lias not Uen. Grant demonstratedhis unfitness for the Presidency ? Hiselrction to it in '6 i was owing to theconfidence the people reposed in himfor what they believed he possesse-d-good sense and becavnse or their grAUtude for hi? military service duung thewar. In his good sense,, with the experience of the last three years.; itseems to me impossible that confidence.can now be placftt, ; juis whole, careeras l'resident has been full or blunders,to use no milder term. A few instances will establish this statement

2. His selection of iiis relatives .forhigh and important ti usts, at home andabroad, obviously wituout ascertainingwhether they were fit, and his refusallo remove mauy of mem alter tneir unfitness had been painfully exhibited.

3.

The course of tbe President and hisparty leads to the reverse of all this.It necessarily results In centralizing allpowers in the uenerai uoverMnent, auuthereby making It not a federal, but aconsolidated government Not onlywas tliia alleged in the Convention toLa the result which could . not be pro-duced if the powers of tbe General Government were not over stepped, but inevery one of the State Conventions bywnicn tne iamuihumou was rauiuetjthis opinion was almost universally entertained. Some member , however,in several of the State Conventions,expressed apprehension on tbe point.This was especially thecase in the Vir-ginia Convention, and amongst othersthese apprehensions were euuwtaineaby Patrick Henry. Mr. Madison, woowas a member of that Convention, considered them as unwarranted. But toquiet all fears, 'be and others agreedthat, certain amendments should beproposed by tbe first Congress, and thiswas done on the 25th of September,1789. by a proposition to tbe Slates thatthey should adopt certain amendm ntstwelve iu number.. Ten were adopted.Two of these are :

1. "Tlie enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Tlie powers not delegated to tneUnited States by the Constitution, norproiibited by it to tbe States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to thepeople".

It is impossible to reconcile the con- -

duct of the President an l his supporters with these limitations.

In this expectation, a large majorityof the op!e who voted for him, I be-

lieve, are conscious of their disappointment and arc unwilling to renew thesame tiut in mm. inw nas oeenpretty well estabished by the procectl-iiii- rs

at llie Cincinnati Convention.and by Ihe apparent approval of tlienomination ol Mr. ureeiey, matie merein May last, and approved bv tlieDemocratic Convention in this city onthe ilth and 10th inst

I proceed now to submit lo you someobservations in relation to Mr. Greeley.

In tlie first, place, his love of countrycannot be doubted. His ability dis-played in the arduous position of aneditor of a leading journal for a verymany years, the thousands and hun-dreds of thou-aud- s who have been hisconstant readers will readily admitThat he has, at limes, inculcated doc-trines which many good and able menhave thought unsound, is no doubttrue.. But what statesman has not?

On the contrary, they have been di-

rectly violated, antl these violationswotdd continue beyond the perkul ofthe next Presidential election if thegood sense ami patriotism of the De-mocrats in Congress and of many ofthe Republicans had not prevented it.Iu this eunmeratfcm of the objectionsto tbe election of General Grant I donot design to impugn bin motives. Iam willing to concede that they aregood, and that he believes them to be

; hnt my conviction I", and ifrlriotic of judging, tbe factswhich I have stated demonstrate itssoundness, that conceding his motivesto be good, he do--s not know what tlieConstitution is, and is enl irely ignorantof the principles which should govt rua Republic like ours.

His election to the Presidency In '68was owing to a grateful sense of hismilitary services during the war, andto the confidence which the peoplethen had a right to feel, that, with theaid or an able Cabinet, which it wasnot dtMibtcd be would call arouud him,he would discharge the importantduties or the office with abdily, and instrict subordination to the Constitut:on

His opinion on ihe doctrine or pro-tection is now contested by many menor ability and patriot'sm. Whetherhis policy Is sound or not is a pointunon wiiieh even able men differ. But

Ithls that when Mr. Greeleyis certain,. . .... ... .

adopted it ne uaa ine supiiori, oi nonwof the ablest or our s'atesman, havingat their head Henry Clay,' a namenever mentioned in the bearing ofAmericans without admiration andgratitude. If Mr. Greeley has erred, itshould be bekl to be some extenutiionthat he erred in such coin pan v. Thathis opinion ia honestly entertained anihas beeu maintained with creat abilitymust lie conceded. But does GeneralGrant' hold the oppositon opinion?Or has he any opinion on this nice

Cblem of political economy? If he(I've no idea he has, bis

studies never having run on that line,)he certaiuly never lias expressed if, audfrom his enforced reticence, if he wasto do so, would not be able to give hisreasons. But why should Mr. Gree-ley's opinion on this pwint be anyobjection

. ... to his . election?a

He has1Aac--

cepted the nomination ne receivea atCincinnati, and with an engagementto act upon the principles there an-

nounced. One of them is, I quote it,that "recognizing that there are In ourmidst honest but irreconcilable differ-ences of opinion with regard to therespective systems of protection andfree trade, we remit the discussion ofthe subject to the people la their Con

This gives to tbe friends of freetrade an opportunity of satisfying thepeople that their doctrine is the correctone, and that if Congress shall to decidetheir decision will not be disapprovedof by Mr. Greeley.

What more do these gentlemen wantin their opposition to Mr. Greeley?Did they desire the nomination of anavowed Free Trader? With this view,did they wish for the nomination ofMr. Adams? And if tbey had succeed-ed, and Mr. Adams had declared hisadhesion to Freejrrade, do they be-

lieve they could have secured his elec-tion? We have had experimentsenough of presenting to the people forPresidency a candidate whose opinionswere not in accordance with, those ofthe people generally. And to this, andto this alone, was the election of Mr.Lincoln to be referred, and the consequent election of General GrantWhether Free Trade or Protection isto receive the sanction of Coogrewandnot depend upon' the opinion of theI'reshieiiLreTen h ne nas one, ana oedisposed to act upon it He can effectnothing except as be may be able toinfluence congress by bis patronage,and this no man fit for the office wouldattempt because to do so would bepalpable effort to corrupt that Depar-tment That Mr. Greeley would nottake such a step is certain, because heis honest and because the platformupon which he agrees to stand prohibits it

Before the war, and occasionallyduring its continuance, his treatmentof tbe South was believed by many tohave been uo necessarily harsh, liutin this no one aeriousiy questioned hismotives. They were in no respect personal or other than patriotic The warover, and what has been his course?t rom the first moment to the presenthour he was earnestly desired, and hasdone all in his power to effect it torestore peace and prosperity to theSouth. A constant and ardent friendof general amnesty and of universalsuffrage, he cannot but have commended himself to the good opinions of thewhite and colored citizens or that region. The latter, perhaps, are moreindebted to him and tbe lion. CharlesSumner for the rights now secured tothem than to any other two men in thecountry. s

His generosity and kind regard forSouthern men was strongly illustratedby his becoming one or the bail of Mr.Jefferson Davia, which terminated hiscruelly protracted imprisonment Forthis step he was denounced by theradicals of his party, and particularlyby such of them as belong to the UnionLeague Club of New York. They pro- -etel hs expulsion, and who can forget, who has ever read it tne proudletter of defiance which he Botfremedto tbe League on the 23d of May, 1867?Iu that letter be quoted extracts fromthe Tribune to show bow decided bisopinion was that those who had beenengaged In the insurrection should beenfranchised, and their estates exempted from confiscation. He justifiedhaving become security for Mr. Davis,and iu his letter, among other things.said : . "Your attempt to base a greatenduring party on the hate and wrathnecessarilv engendered by a bloodycivil war. is as though you sIkhiUIplant a colony on an iceberg, whichhad somehow drifted into a tropicalocean. 1 ten you nere mat out oi a mpearnestly devoted to the good oi numankind.

You will have thus seen what Ithink of the present political conditionof the country. Unless I am greatlymistaken, It most give to every un-prejudiced, intelligent and patrioticman much anxiety and alarm. How

By removing the cause of it.Rv refusing a to Gen.Grant to whom in a great measure, ifnot exclusively, it is owing, and byniacins? in the Presidential office Mr.Greeley, whose entire life has exhibitedhis generous qualities, his great ability,his pure patriotism, and his unsus-pected integrity To be rich he willaccept no presents, but would corn-ful- ly

He hasnot scores of relatives to provide forout of the publie funds, by placingthem inw offices for which they aregrossly incomfietent and, if he had, bewould not so place them. He will notexert his patronage to influence Stateelections, or to secure a for. . . .war a a a. ii ..L.himseir. lie win not permit toe puo-li- fl

He will s.ethat our foreign relations are so man-aged as to give honor and not disgraceto the nation. He will not toleratethe use of the military for the controlof the elective franchise. He will nottrample upon the rights of the Statesor the people by declaring States to bein rebellion when they are not Andmy hope is to live to see the day whenthese vital changes will be made;when all solk-itud- e about the fate ofour country will be quieted; whenpeace and prosperity will be secured totbe entire nation ; when the guaran-teed rights of the citizen will be pro-tected, the legitimate powers of theStates maintained, and the authorityof the General Government exertedonly under the restrictions of the Con-stitution. In a word, when the Con-stitution bequeathed to us by ourfathers shall in all things be olaterved,and when we will have a President in-

telligent and patriotic enough to keepliis official oath to "preserve, protectand defe'r.d it"

When all these things shall occur,ami not until then, will our prosperityand power be renewed, and our coun-try become, as it was in former days,the wonder and admiration of theworld.
