You gallant brother as met tats rate. . Among the friends who loved Liu, and who I know had his esteem. I come to offer jou rcy sympa- thy, and to mrngle my sorrows with your own, if the glorious termination of his career did not almost forbid tbetr mdnlgence. You know full well whilst T w.is Governor of South Carolina, at a moat trying cri&is, he was my first and senior Aid-de-camp. When I hnd to look out on what many persons supposed a troubled sky, it was something to -have ear me a -man o'f bis he reditary cournee and tried nerve, I f. therefore, any one knew him well. I did. The brilliant ash of glory in which tbe taper of his lire has been extin euished, bas not therefore surprised me. When was in New tDr leans last Spring, ad heard of the embarkation of his Regiment for Vera Crus, I said to a friend, if Butler and these l.uia get fairly en gntred -with tbe enemy, aeain9t whatever odds, they will make their mark, sod, if need be. leave half their namber in killed and wounded oa tbe field.- What "Was proDhecv hssTipened into fact. 1 knew the stuff they were made of. This time last yesrr, your brother and myself met in Wnsaington. Me was stretched on a sick oed. fn the-confidence of a friendship, the fervor of "which had never been mterruptcd for one instant, he in formed me that ns soon as he was safiQcwitly reco vered, he was to meet in mortal combat. Colonel Mason of the United btates Army, in consequence of a quarrel of some standing, which had been greatly aggravated perhaps by mutual misconcep tions. He asked my friendly counsels m the pro- eress of the unhappy nfFsvir. I need not speak of his composure to yon, but I will sfeak of his sensi bilityof tire tenderness of his noble nature, when he spoke of meeting (on terms which scarcely per mitted the hope of the escape of eirher party.) a man wirh a family ns numerous and dependent upon him as his own. From policy. "1 rather seemed to enter into his feelinjjs ns an rtntngoirist, and -so pre pare him for the deadly strife. Wit hout saying one "word to him, however, i left Washington the next morning, and procecded'to Virginia to see Col. McCarthy, the fnend -of Col Maou. On reaching Alexandria, I heard that Col. McCarthy was not tit his residence in Loudoun. On my return to Carolina, I wrote to him, nnd pro posed an armistice and reference. It was met by me crave man vim a oenevoience and chivaHiy wor thy of his exalted courage. Col. Mason's departure before your brothers recovery, -for Calin rma, un der orders which precluded a moment's delay, sus pended our work of conciliation. Your brother knew nothhgof my pacific interposition until Col. Mason's departure. His lire was preserved for a noble destiny, lie perished where he would have liked to have died'hest. Before embarking for Vera Crux, he wrote me, entreating me to apply for an appointment as general officer in tb army oTthe United States; and ns the most powerful induce ment he could otTcr, he Informed me, (hat ha mid his command would rather serve under rae than any man in the United States, f -state this fact at the hazard of having imputed to me a ridiculous, if not a censurable, selF-love. 43ut thoso. my dear DutloT, who know our coun trymen, will only recognise in it the fibres which unite one South Carolinian, to another. As little deserved as the compliiueut may be, why should I not cherioh it next to irty -Own h-ein-t, at ler, for secret pride and solitary enjoyment. In -the burn--ing interest -of the progress of events ia Mexico, I found it impossible to resist the invocation. I ten dered my services tt tbe President, in a post not inconsistent with the rank I had held in my own States he prefered, as-he had a right, another to myself. I hope I ;im the last man in the world to take exception to a preference whieh the subsequent distractivu of this gentleman has so oatirely jus tified. If I had been appointed, however, 1 think I hnrard not much in sayinjr that our Palmetto standard. which has never paled its fires'' on any field, would have been borne aloft- wherever my command may have been. If I could not have restrained the im petuosity of the daring valor of your calhint bro ther, and our brave South Carolinians, 4 -should, at least, have claimed the melancholy privilege that he should have -died in no other arms but my own. My dear Butler, arrest the eurrent of your own grief. Let his widow and his children cease to shed a tear; there is but one transition from the death bed of a Christian soldier, who died for his coun try, to that realm where tears of care and sorrow are unknown.

My Dear Genera!: For the last ten days 1 have -1ecn absent from home, on a visit to my friends in Greenville, and did not receive your expressive and affectionate letter till yesterday. You had the very qualities to inspire my brother "With the strmg and enthusiastic feelings of attach ment which he entertained for yon. There was no uian on earth orrto4nly,t)Bt-of his owu family, no one.) in whose friendship he had a higher confidence than in yours ; and upon real occasions of difficulty and trial, his reliance would have been on you. He knew very well that you were the -man to assume all the h:tzard of -responsibility. My brother knew nothingof your correspondence with Col. McCarthy, nor did 1, until 1 received your letter. His difficulty with Col. Mason was a source of painful anxiety to his friends, who were made ae- quainiea wim it particulars, die h id made up his mind, and was prepared for the worst. Poor fel low! he has, by an honorable scri6ce of his life escaped what I shall always regard as a very great misfortun; the necessity or, possibly under some aspects, in the extcuuation of some, the dtv of meeting another.in single eoarbat. 1 flm gratified to hear of the manner in which Col. McCarthy received your suggestions. It does honor to his heart, and might possibly have led to an honorable understanding. Gen. Shields has behaved so well, and in Lis offi cial report has paid such a touching tribute to the Tnemory of my dear brother, that I am proud he was under his immediate command. I shall esteem the man aud respect the Geieral all my life. But if my brother could have had Lis choice, .you would have beeu the man that he would have selected for Lis super wr officer. In.your notice of hrs death you have taken a high conceptioo of Che subject It is difficult, however for the heart -of his family to feel as jou do, under the shock of the first intelligence.

Rincon, a venerable old soldier, who was leaning forward, his counte nance g4owiog and his eyes sparkling with every manifestation of delight. I verily believe that the old veteran, with the spirit f a true soldier, opon beholding the victorious general -so greeted by the brave men he had just Wd to victory, forgot for the moment his own position, (that lie ws defeated and a prisoner) and saw and thought only of the enthu siasm by which he was surrouuded.71 Cn.vsXESTON Cotton MaxcfaCtubi.vo Costr.v ny According to announcement, the corner-stone of the building of thi.s company was laid on Satur day afternoon, at 5 o'clock, in presence of a large number of citizens, stockholders nnd others.

We have somewhere read the testimony of ai excellent clergyman, possessing much knowl edge of human nature, who instructed a large family of daughters in the ordinary practice of music. They were observed to bo amiable and happy. A friend inquired if there was any secret in his mode of education, to whkh he replied ; "When anything disturbs their temper,' i say to Ihetn, Sing; and if I hear them speaking against any person, I call them to sine to sing to 'me; and they sing away all lire caue of discontent, and every disposition to scandal.

Mrs. B has beea a wife twelve years, is the mother of five children, the youngest but a babe, and the family are as happy ss theiarger portion of families. - . . , , ..i li is Monday morning, and this speaks f unutter able things" to a New England wtfe,'who has been married a -dozen years. Mr. Benson has had his breakfast-in season has - kissed he -children and gone to his omce, where the boy has a good fire the books and papers were all in order, nnd Mr. B. sits down to answer a few agreeable demands upon his time, which will evidently turn into cosh. He goes home punctually to his dirmer at ooeo'clockf it is ready for him he takes it quietly, perhaps frolics ten minutes with the baby, aud then hurries buck to his office. At the hour for tea he goes home every thing is cheerful, and to quote the simple rhyme of au'old song : The hearth was -clean, the fire was clear, The kettle on for tea; Benson was in the -racking chair ; As blest as man could be. But how has it been with Mrs. Benson throngh the d;iy ? She has an ill-natured girl in the kitchen, who will do half the work only, at nine shillings per week. Morningat eight o'clock fourchildren must be ready forschou) Mrs. Benson must sponge their faces and smooth their hair see that books, slate, pencils, .pocket handkerdhiefs, (yes,, four -of them.) all are in order, and now the baby is cryiug the fire is low it is time Sally should begin to wash the .pari or, the -chamber, the breakfast things are all waiting.

Now, sir, this wife surely has borne the '; harden anq heat of tbe day," her limbs are wearied, her whole energy of mind and "body exhausted, and she is exhorted to "welcome herhusband with a smile!" She does it, for woman's love is stronger than death. 1 would ask, should not Mr. Benson give his wife a smile ? What has he done to lighten her cares through the day ? How is it? In nine cases out -of ten, he wishes Mrs. Benson would nut ail those noisy children to bed-: he should be grau to have her tell David to go to the Post Office for letters and pa pers and at length, when half-way between sleep ing and waking, he looks at his pale, exhausted help mate, he exclaims, ' Well, wife, you begin to took a little fatigued.' - Trai 'OT.
