e most distinguished people of this and other lands, and here were planned innumerable philanthropic undertakings in which Mrs. Stowe and her scholarly husband were the prime movers. The summer spent in preparing this home was one of great pleasure as well as literary activity. In July Mrs. Stowe writes to her husband: I had no idea this place was so beautiful. Our family circle is charming. All the young men are so gentlemanly and so agreeable, as well as Christian in spirit. Mr. Dexter, his wife, and sister are delightful. Last evening a party of us went to ride on horseback down to Pomp's Pond. What a beautiful place it is! There is everything here that there is at Brunswick except the sea,--a great exception. Yesterday I was out all the forenoon sketching elms. There is no end to the beauty of these trees. I shall fill my book with them before I get through. We had a levee at Professor Park's last week,--quite a brilliant affair. To-day there is to be a fishing

instinctive receliiou against regulations and resolutions, even of your own making, ever interfere with your writing for the Ledger ? Doubtless you have been tempted, in times of hurry, or languor, in journeyings and dog-day heats, to break your agreement; but an honest fealty to a generous publisher has hitherto constrained you to stand by; and we like you for it. Other publishers may be bon, but he is Bonner. So you do not demean yourself by following the triumphal chariot of his fortunes (Dexter's trotting wagon) like Zenobia in chains, -since the chains are of gold. As a writer of brief essays and slight sketches, Fanny Fern excels. She seems always to have plenty of small change in the way of thoughts and themes. She knows well how to begin without verbiage, and to end without abruptness. She starts her game without much beating about the bush. She seems to measure accurately the subject and the occasion, and wastes no words,--or, as poor Artemus Ward used to say, never slo

ys, and their spirit full as high. He fancied them insurgent, and himself their captive; and he turned to the Council for advice. It is not such people as formerly pulled down your House, who conduct the present measures; said Tyler, but they are people of the best characters among us, men of estates, and men of religion. It is impossible for the troops to remain in town; there will be ten thousand men to effect their removal, be the consequence what it may. Russell of Charlestown, and Dexter of Dedham, a man of admirable qualities, confirmed what was said. They spoke truly; men were ready to come down from the hills of Worcester County, and from the vale of the Connecticut. The Council unanimously advised sending the troops to the Castle forthwith. It is impossible for me, said Dalrymple again and again, weakening the force of what he said by frequently repeating it, to go any further lengths in this matter. The information given of the intended rebellion is a sufficient re

rom the Sea Islands: On Monday last, while at South Edisto, discovered four of the enemy's fleet near be, consisting of one side wheel steamer and three propellers. They soon commenced exchanging signals, and immediately after steamed in for St. Helena Ship Bar, the side wheel boat leading. They all went rapidly up to a position near Otlet Island, and fire some shell ashore, to see it they could uncover any massed batteries, and finding none, they ventured to land in their boats. Capt Dexter, of the Clinch, says their pilots are thoroughly acquainted with all the channels around, and there is but little doubt but that they are composed of men whom our Sea is land cotton and rice planters employed for years to bring their crops to market.

Mc Gavock, when she arrived there under a flag of trace, and not permitted to proceed up the river. A permit was subsequently granted by a superior officer, and here we have a Lincoln craft, commanded by a Lincoln crew, at our wharf. This is a very extraordinary arrival. From the Islands. The Charleston Courier, of the 2d instant says: The steamer Gen. Cliach, Capt. Dexter, arrived here on Saturday night from Jehosses Island and neighborhood. The Lincolnites had not got beyond Fonwick's Island, and no event of importance had transpired for several days in that vicinity. We learn, from a reliable source, that all the cotton and provisions on Hutchinso and Renwick's Islands were destroyed by fire on Thursday last. An important capture.
