Exterprising.

--Some indefatigable citizen of the Confederate States has sent us a ‘"letter"’ addressed to ‘"A. Lincoln,"’ which takes up about a yard and a half of foolseap closely written and pasted together, page after page. Such industry, displayed in any other particular amusement, might be commendable; but we are inclined to think that in this case, about ten day's labor has been unequivocally lavished and irrevocably lost.
