Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, of Concord, Mass., author of "The Scarlet Letter," "The House with the Seven Gables,Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne, of Concord, Mass., author of "The Scarlet Letter," "The House with the Seven Gables," "Transformation," and many other charming and deservedly popular works, when you took upon yourself to hold up to obloquy and ridicule our English matrons — to sneer at their "streakiness" and "beefiness," and to allude, not very delicately, to thhose who thought you did a stupid and an ill mannered thing. But let that pass. We are not angry with you, dear Mr. Hawthorne. We like your books too well; and, besides, if you laughed at us, are we not always laughing at our-selves? You havndites these lines would have been clapped into the pillory and egged and stoned to death many years since. But, Mr. Hawthorne, if the British mater families be fond of good cheer, she has at least-something to show for it. Her appearance does

r him on that "red-mouthed cyprian of fanaticism, cant, and blasphemy," Anna Dickinson: At the termination of my last letter I was sitting down to table in the immediate neighborhood of the heroine of the hour--Miss Anna Dickinson. I wonder whether some nursery discipline of a gentle sort might not be beneficial in curbiivities of young ladies who have a mania for spouting polities. But Miss Anna Dickinson is from any point of view a great fact "Joan of Arc," scream the enraptu the young blood of the nation. " There are other little items for which Miss Anna Dickinson is understood to have made a "statesmanlike demand." She requires tull citizen ship, with the ownership in fee of agricultural land." Finally, Miss Dickinson is said to "have shoved to, with her Lilly white hand, the doors of the Sumation of freedom to the slaves of rebels." Yes, this is the burden of Miss Dickinson's chant, and of the faction of which she is the mouth piece. She does not

d at her disposal; she speaks ex cathedra; she is handed to her rostrum by the second personage in the republic; and the Speaker of the House is her gentleman usher. The chief of the State and his Ministers swell the number of her auditors. Either all this means something or nothing. If the Legislative Assembly of the United States is to be considered in the eyes of the world a mere mountebank's booth, and the Senators and Representatives only so many mimes and mummers supplied by Mr. Nelson Lee to tumble during fair time, let the Americans have the honesty at least to admit that their legislation is horse play and their debates a farce. But if the American Congress be really composed of wise and able and patriotic men, alive to a sense of their vast responsibilities, and intent on the solution of a tremendous problem, how grotesque, how unworthy does it appear to grace such an exhibition as took place on Saturday night with the stamp of official applause.

ered, and he yet cherished the hope of becoming one day President of the United States. A remarkable man is George Francis Train; perhaps "one of the most remarkable men in the country." He will go further, I think, and fare worse. Yet he seems to have his clique here, his set, his coteries, his "crowd," and is a personage.--But the clerk at Willard's — and an American hotel clerk is about the most trustworthy critic of human character whom you can well consult — when he told me that Mr. Train was considered a "dreadfully smart man," significantly tapped his forehead as he spoke. Lunacy. Cela n'empes hepas. Lunacy in an American politician does not seem to count, and we may be approaching the dark millennium foreshadowed by the poet of the "roughs," Wait. Whitman; the time when there is to be nothing but "money, business, railroad, exports, imports, custom precedents, pallor, dyspepsia, smut, ignorance, and unbelief;" when judges and criminals shall be transposed and t

If need be lie — lie with face of brass and lungs of leather; crack up your own country, to the detriment of all others; vow that we won the battle of Fontenoy; swear that Peter Morrison was the greatest philanthropist of the age; declare that Mr. Roebuck is ninety feet high. If a man spits on your boot spit on his waistcoat, and then "guess that you did not aim low enough." If you find his letters lying about, read them; if he tells you anything in confidence, publish it in a newspaper; keep on moving; go ahead; go into business; smash; recuperate; drink with everybody; talk dollars from sunrise to midnight.

At least the Jacobins did nat suffer the tricoteuses to mount the tribune.--They kept them in the galleries. At least the Hall of the National Convention was never "loaned" to Theroigne de Mericourt. The irrepressible Train. George Francis Train, who is called in courtesy a speculator, but who is in reality a thief as some of the British journals hint, has his place thus niched out in Mr. Sale's letter: I was looking with much admiration and much pity on the Philadelphia maid, and with much amazement at the state of things in which her public antics could be possible, when a voice, very familiar to me struck upon my ear, and I found my self in close proximity to th

ovender? Does the enormous quantity of sold food they consume do them any good? Yankee men and Women. I grant the prettiness of your very young girls; they are really trim little damsels; but yonder mater familias, who having disposed of pork chops, sauce kobut and fried potatoes, has now thrown herself, with desperate ardor, on to tenderloin steak and scrambled eggs — she, bony, integuminous, and high-dried, with a beak like the prow of a Roman galley, and a countenance like old John Zisea's skin, which he had tanned and made into a drum — what benefit has she derived from high feeding? She eats and does not fatten. The Moorish speculators, who raise girls for the matrimonial market by cramming them with kouscousson, could make nothing of this lank but insatiate dame. --What is it? The climate, or the vast potations of iced water she imbibes? There must be some cause for the people who eat so much looking so very unhealthy. As for the appetite of the men folks,

The other day he was in Nebraska, "stumping" that territory in the interest of the Pacifhave his clique here, his set, his coteries, his "crowd," and is a personage.--But the clerk at Willard's — and an American hotel clerk is about the most trustworthy critic of human character whom yoh moral purpose. They have a duty to perform. They pay three dollars a day for their board at Willard's and they are determined to have their money's worth for their money. Thus, there is breakfast half-past 7, and supper at nine. You may be always eating, and there do seem to be guests at Willard's who never miss a meal, but are continually gorging. Some art is requisite, some finesse has and almost fly to execute your commands. A good Story. The first time I breakfasted at Willard's I said, modestly, that I should like a cup of tea, some dry toast, an egg, and a little toast
