Southern Claims Commission. Washington, D. C, October 2, 1871. Messrs. Editors: The following, which I clip from The Republican of this morning, will be interesting to a large number of your readers who have claims before the Commission. It will also spare much unnecessary correspon dence with Attorneys in this city. Truly Yours, m. n Judge Aldis (president) and ex-Sena-ator liowell, (member) of the Southern Claims Commission, have returned to this city after an absence of three months spent in mingled recreation and deliberation upon the cases carried by them to their homes for that purpose. "R-r.'Rnrrsf ntatlve Forriss. the remain ing member of the commission, is de tained at trie lortn ior a iew aays lon ger, but he, too, will shortly join his near? ntrj ! According to the arrangements made before their departure, me commission ers will resume their sessions for the examination of witnesses in those cases where the claimants desire their testi mony to be given personally before the commissioners to-morrow. Assign ments for this purpose have been made mwrfntf nil the time that can be snar ed from other duties to the 15th day of The special commissioners appointed last June in the several Southern States to take the testimony in claims of small amount, where the claimants are too poor to bear the expense of bringing their witnesses to Washington, have been employed in this duty all summer, and the depositions in some three hun dred cases have been received from them to this date. Twenty-five of these special commissioners have thus far been appointed, of whom about eigh teen are kept constantly engaged by the claimants residing in their locali ties; some of them, in fact, being una ble to meet all the demands for their services. Although this number takes and forwards now more testimony than the commission here can, with their own engagements, consider and dis pose of Immediately, it is probable that, to meet the desire of claimants to have their evidence perpetuated while their witnesses arc accessible, and by agents residing at reasonable distances from the latter, additional local commission ers will at once be appointed in the larger and more populous of the once rebel States; but the-commissioners will not depart from their first inten tion of limiting their appointments to the smallest number that- can reasona bly answer the purpose of their ap lointment. It is also probable that they will yield so far to the apparent necessities of the casein another direction as to enlarge tho nnthnrltv nf thpir Rivwinl Prtmmls- doners beyond the nominal amount of .three tnousana dollars, tne present lim it of the cases in which tneyare em powered to take testimony. This can bo the more safely done, because expe rience has shown that even in the more intelligent and conscientious class of claims the amounts demanded are, in a majority of the cases, much in excess of any amounts which the commission ers are likely to find themselves war ranted in allowing in full settlement thereof. Even where the cautious and restrictive terms of the act of March 3, 1870, in exacting a constant, active, and known loyalty on the part of theclaim .ant, rather tlian an original, passive and secret attachment to the Union, and in requiring- proof of a positive or intended use of t lie claimants property for legitimate military purposes, 'in stead of its mere loss or damage by un authorized pillage or military occupa tion, are known and recognized, there is a permanent disposition on the part of claimants to present their whole bill against the Government and leave the commissioners to aeciae wnat part oi it . . . 1 A. . tney can or win aiiow, ana wnat por tion is-to be left to the future justice or generosity of the Government, should any sucn sentimenismove our ruiers iu further concessions hereafter. The scale of prices, too, against the 'United States is usually fixed the same as in tne lnmteu transactions Detween nrivifn iinrMno rlnrlnt thft Tear, and under the exceptional state of aflairs then existing In tne soutn ; wnne tne commissioners, controlled by prudence and measurably governed by precedent, are not disposed to go further than to assimilate thearticles taken from claim nnt tn thiraofthe reemlar suddIv ta bles of the army, and to settle for the . . t a 9 mix former at tne cost price oi tne latter, added to the additional cost of trans- ivnrfnt lnn For the reasons just glven,the various large sums named at different times since the establishment of the com mission, as representing the aggregate amount of the claims presented, cannot be taken as any near indication of the amount to be drawn from the Treasu ry in rendering-to loyal people in the South the same compensation for pri vate property taken for public uses as loyal people in the loyal States have been receiving, also by acts of Congress ever since the war began. Failure to establish the required measure and constancy of loyalty, and to distinguish between the necessary and proper use of the property on the onehand,and its loss, damage or destruction on the other; the constant detection of fraudu lent and false allegations as to loyalty and pretended facts, and reduction of over-estimated quantities and exorbi tant prices, will so inure to the public benefit as to relieve Secretary Boutwell from any apprehensions concerning his monthly debt statements and the tax paying public from fears of a big raid on the funds in Treasurer Spinner's & tilts ' On the subject of additional legisla tion concerning these claims and their investigation. It may be assumed that claims for the authorized and beneficial use and occupation of . buildings and grounds for barracks, quarters and per manent camps and fortificationss well as depots ana hospitals, will be express ly included within the Jurisdiction of the commissioners, who, somewhat against their own conviction, and in the face of a formidable array of au thorities cited before them by able counsel, have wisely, perhaps, and prudently.ataU events excluded many such claims from present consideration in deference to the restrictive interpre tation placed by. other Government officials upon the term, stores and sup plies, i " " It seems not unlikely, too, that the investigation of all 6uch claims as these commissioners are now examining will,wherever arising within theUnlted States, be intrusted to them or to some similar board. , At ' present claimants from Kentucky, ;Maryland and West Virginia and the other Northern States must apply exclusively to certain bu reaus of the -War Department ; those from certain of the States, or portions thereof, officially proclaimed by Presi dent Lincoln as In rebellion.exciusively thr rvrmmlpsloners of claims. , and lirMA fmm TpntiPSSPfl and two of the counties of West Virginia either, or botn, at tneir option, ine sumwv tt ntferr nf nil thpsA claims is identical. viz: Certain private property taken or lurmsnea ior army use uunug me laws war; but the methods of reception! record, procedure and proof, means of investigation and payment, Ac, are all different. It would be but an exercise of ordinary business-like common sense if Congress were to consolidate the bus iness of setting these claims. Eight thousand claims are now on file with' the commissioners, an aver age of over thirteen hundred claims a month. But of the whole number two thirds have been filled within the last three months, and the ratio of monthly receipts to the whole number is still in creasing. To conduct their large office business the commissioners are at pres ent allowed by law one clerk and one stenographer. They have been pre tuTvnt fmm nhsnlute chaos in their in ternal affairs by the-temporary loan of . - a i rn - 1 a lew clerics irom tne xruasury uu War Departments, who are necessary to be withdrawn for service In their proper offices as soon as Congress,at its next session, snail nave an opportunity to provide for the wants of its last crea tion. The Web of Character. BY EGERT L. BANGS. It is said that, in the erineham-mill. a broken or a slack-twisted thread spoils the web through the piece of a hundred yards. When we consider what beau tiful fabrics are the product of the loom, nnrl hnw imnnrfont fl nart thev Dlav in the furnishing of our houses and the adornment of our persons, we are temp ted to regard weaving as a high art. J Once indeed It was a feminine ac complishment, and it ranked higher than the second-rate caterwauling; of Italian-Opera by English-speaking voi ces, or the working of blue dogs and pink-sheep in worsted ever ought to rank. ' 'I It is pleasant to recall the old story of Penelope and her web ; it was so in timately associated with conjugal fidel ity, a virtue .to be reverenced in these days of cheap divorces and uncongenial unions. She wove her web by day to keep peace among her suitors having nromised to eive her hand to one of them, when the web was completed. But at night she pulled out what jsho had wrought by day and gained time for her liege lord's return by making fool3 of her admirers. If we too could only null out at nicht what we have woven bv dav on the veb of character,! the pulling out would often be more satis factory than the weavincr. I Our web, however, is a very differ ent one from that of Penelope. She made, fools of her suitors, and the krirl of the period often does thesame, though it must be confessed that her wav of doing it is entirely unlike that; of j the selves, and the pattern once woven is a lasting out" . h e niay mucru impuv e noon it. but each dav's weavmcr is in fast colors, and the work forms a fabric that will out. - T ' of each day never wear And what an endless variety" of pat terns different persons are weaving, in to the web of character. Could they be made visible by some process like that which converts the invisible tracery of a?ids upon paper into legible characters, we should see such pictures as no I ma terial fabric ever had wrousrht ilnto it. All woven stuffs of whatever kind, are included under the generic name of 4web' and in them all, however va ried the fiirures that adorn them, or the colors that lteht them up. we (find simply a warp and a woof of fil linsr. I The-web of character has its warp and its woof. Its warp begins with the first moment of life, and extends to Its close. Our Maker himself winds it out to us, and determines its length,1 but the woof Is of our own choosing. And upon our choice the quality of the; web depends. It Is a curious, sometimes a painful, study to see what kind of filling Immortal weavers are putting mtp this complex, indestructible, ana wonder full v varied web of character. In Drake exquisitely beautiful po- rm TTha fSilriif. TToir ' tlio fairer Viott the fairy hero at the cricket's call to charmed armor. arms, dons his "Ilia cloak of a thousand minded dres Was formed of the winga of butterflies." Longfellow tells us that "Life is ear nest, life is real." With all it earnest ness and reality there is a tribe of aim less beings who flit through it, disport- In cr themselves in the sunshine of wealth fluttering in the mingled dyes of fashion serving no useful purpose caring for nothing but to be pursued and captured by some rich nobody: who can give them a splendid cage,! and worth iust about as much when caught as the butterflies that schoolboys chase. Such as these are weaving the web of character after the gaudy pattern or the butterflies' wings quite pretty toj look at, but good for nothing. . j And you, young man, to whom the gilded saloon is a pleasant resort,as you stand at the bar and gaily drink lyour glass of wine or brandy, you are weav ing into the web of your character, the pattern of a bloated sot. -If you could only see it in all its hideous horror;you would surely stop and chance the pat tern; for who w ould not rather shape the threads of your life into some form of noble manhood ' than into one of in carnate beastiness.. Very lovely are the patterns that some humble workers are weaving into the web of character. You, Sunday school teachers, who forego rest after the morning servicet and Impart heav enly instruction to littlo children; per haps going out into the highways and hedges to gather them in you are weaving a web, the beauty of which is and which will never be fully revealed till all eyes are cleared of earthly mists. And what you weave into yourj own web, you are teaching others to weave into theirs. j ' The stuffs that are sold in the markets as we unroll them, are generally of un iform quality and appearance. Could we take the web of any finished! char acter and follow it all the way from the cradle to the other side of .the river, how varied the hues of such a web would be I How many rotten streaks and rough places, and then again how many bright spots ana lovely ngures we should see even in the best or the worst character. And so we weave on and no man seeth the pattern, ;but In due time he shall see It as it isho shall know what manner of web he hath woven. - ' Flint, Mich., Sept. 12, 1871; 0 -T - - - - - T. D.

The story of Sain Houston, to the ef fect that he discovered on the night of his marriage that his wife loved anoth er, and immediately left her, has been told hundreds of times ; but it seems there are grave doubts as to its truth fulness. A cousin of the lady, who signs Herself "M. B. H.," writes as fol lows teethe Memphis Appeal: I have seen several pieces in your papers lately, purporting to tell' why General Houston and wife separated early, j J As Mrs. Houston and myself were not only intimate friends, but relatives, I think I can tell why they separated so early, with as much truth as any one else. In the Appeal, several days ago, there was an extract from the Galveston Bee, stating tliat they lived together only three days. This is not true. They lived together three months. I am pretty certain in stating, also, that she had another , sweetheart in the neighborhood. It is true Eliza Hous ton and William T. were always par ticular friends, but neither she nor any one else would have thought of marry ing ai man in the last stages of consump tion, for at the time my acquaintance commenced with Mrs. Houston this young, man was in Cuba, seeking to prolong, his life; and that Mr. and Mxs.j Allen were ambitious people and forced her to marry General Houston, is all; a mistake. Two more unambiti ous people never lived. To be sure the match was considered good, and they told their daughter so, but there was no force used, and no stronger persua sion General Houston, as his wife told toe, was a maniac on the subject of female virtue, and did not believe a pure! woman lived. He upbraided her the first night he married, and every day Afterward as long as he lived ' with her, iacting now the fond husband and in ten minutes a furious maniac, the victim of ungovernable jealousy. Mrs. Houston knew there was no happiness in store for her, and determined to sep arate. She lived a life of complete se clusion for a year or two a picture of perfect woe. She afterward professed religion, and was at times quite cheer ful;! but the lk of sadness never, as long as I knew her, left her face? which was of a sweet, gentle and winning ex pression. She was not pretty, but dig nified, graceful and queenly in her ap pearance. She never uttered a . harsh or reproachful word of the General KiWifxl onlv to nitv him. They both i rnnrrifvl nftprwiird i he a woman of deep piety, and such was her influence over him that he, too, became a mem ber Of the Church and died a gooa man. ;: j A IStorr of the Assassination. . - rVUck Acciae?nntirn nf Prosulfillt Lin colli is called to mind by a remarkable STirV IUHI 1IIUUU UUUUU UV unuaiu Withers of New York. ."Mr. With ers,f ' we read, "has a son named Wil liarh, who was the leader of the orches tra at Lina Edwin's .theatre last win tprJ ' Both father and - son were in Ford's theatre at the time that Booth shot Lincoln. The elder Withers was ond iof the orchestra, and played the troinoone. j. no younger uuu ut-ru seated in the parquette; but just pre vious to the time when the fatal shot wak fired, he left his seat and proceeded to !the back part of the stage for the purpose of speaking to some one there on a private matter. The Witherses were well acquainted with Booth, and he with themthe elder having played a game of billiards with Booth on the Saturday evening previous, the former losing the game; butuoom wno wouiu not! permit him to pay for it, exhibited a thick roll of bills c-f large denomina tions, and in a boasting way remarked that he had struck oil. After Booth had fired, and he started to retreat thrnnfh the winsrs to the back entrance hef was met in the passage by young Withers, who did not know what had taken nlace. Withers tried to speak to fhim hut Booth made a lunsre at him with a knife which he held in his hand. Withers dodsred the blow, but it. nevertheless struck him in the shoul der in an angulardirection, and glanced nfn ? mittinc through coat, vest and shirt, and producing a slight wound of the skin. He then rusnea on out ana mrinntpd his horse. William Withers. jr. J stated these facts to Mayor Wallack previous to his examination, wno au vised him not to mention the circum stance of receiving the stab, and he did not do so. The elder Mr. Withers cannot imagine for what purpose that advice was given."

'It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thoroughly com- Drehend and effectually use it. There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use!

Three shirts at ia.time, washing thoroughly ! - In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM! It can be fastened to any tub and taken off at will. Xn matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Washing Machines, the moment this little machine Is seen to per form itst wonders, all doubts of its cleansing elllcacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once, become the fast friends of the machine. . Wo have testimonials without end. setting forth its numerous advantages over all oth ers, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which have srienallv failed to accomplish the ob ject promised in prominent ana loud sound ing advertisements. It is as perfect for washing as a wringer Is for wringing. The price another paramount inducement to purchasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of do mestic economy that will repay the small investment so soon. .'All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR S AVER, is a fair trial.
