Ex-President Tjler't Letter to a Black Man. We cheerfully gire- place to the follow ing letter. V It carries sufficient explanation of the circumstances under which it was written on its face. Hope Bailer is a well behared colored man, who has resided a mong us for sercral years, and is favorably known to many of our citizens; v,, ' : Sherwood Forest, Charles City CocntV, Va, May 21. 5 -.. Mr Good Friend lwas highly grati fied in the receipt of your letter of the 4th May, and shall not fail to make known your, kind - remembrances to my brother, Doctor Wat. H. Tjler, when I see him. His post office is the " Old Church, Hno ver county," -and he would be very much pleased to receive a letter from. jrm. Mr. William Allen is residing at Clare mount, having married Miss Jessop, from Canada, and Mrs. Orgain lives at Berkely, the birthplace of Gen. Harrison, which she purchased in the last two years. Doctor Minge, after having sold out here and emigrated to Alabama, has 'returned to Virginia, and purchased the farm for merly occupied by Mr. Cocke, near to Flowes de hundred. Mr. Francis Ruffin still lives at Cabin Point, and Gen. Harvey in Richmond. I regret to say .that our ex cellent friends Park Crump and Dr. Rob ert Butler, have paid the great debt of nature.- Two more estimable men rarely, if ever, lived. Thus have I given you ah account of all those you inquired after, and I doubt not but that each of them who now live would most cordially salute you wherever they, might meet you, whether in your old native Virginia, or in your adopted Slate of New .York. They say to you what is true in regard to the penalties imposed on free persons of color returning to this State. But it may truly be said that the stringen cy of our laws is entirely to be ascribed to the factious interference of "those who are evermore engaged in the task of disturbing their neighbors, rather ; than to the spirit and feelings of our own people. Yc u were always treated with attention and respect by this people because you were known to be correct in nil your dealings and faith-, ful to all your engagements, and you can well avouch that all colored men who co duct themselves becomingly among us an; treated at all times with consideration and respect. There are no types of " Uncle Tom and bts Cabin " except during the pe riod of his quiet and happy home with Mr. 1 St: Clair. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Cook last year, at Saratoga, and through him made inquiries cone-ruing you. t aiu glad that he made known the fact to you, as to it I am indebted fur your letter. I shall take pleasure in mentioning your remembrances to the gentlemen as desired, and am gratified to learn that at your ad vanced age you continue to enjoy good hen 1th. So may it long continue to be. Such,. is the sincere wish of one who re spects merit without distinction of race. Very truly your friend, JOHN TYLER. Mr. HorE Butler. COWHIDI.XG AFFAIR IN BOSTON. Considerable excitement was created in the vicinity of stores numbered 00 to ICO on Perl street, this forenoon, by the ap pearance of a gentleman residing in Cam bridge, who was on the lookout for a clerk in a shoe store in the immediate vicinity of tbeiatter number. The Cambridge gen tleman discovered the object of his search in a store three or four doors from that in which be is employed, and .immediately drew a stout cowhide and commenced lay ing it well on and about the head and shoulders of the clerk, who fled, and took refuge in his employer's store, but was pursued, and sundry blows inflicted upon him there. The cowhiding left distinct marks on his face and neck. The cause of this attack is said to be the fact, that the clerk has on more than one occasion insulted the wife of the assaulting party, his insults being so gross that the lady has reframed from leaving her bouse for sever al weeks past, from fear of their repetition. Boston Journal, June 9. JAPANESE NOTIONS OF AMERICANS. A gentleman who accompanied Com Perry's Japanese expedition relates to us a curious anecdote of that people, who, tho' generally intelligent, make some mistakes, like the rest of folks. One of their stories runs as follows: "The Americans are - very obstinate people. They publish what is called a ft mi, (newspaper.) These ti wars have no good in them, telling nothing but lies. One day one of these obstinate hogs fell into a trance in consequence of having eaten too much. .Some thought him dead. It was announced in the ti mi, at once a large reward: being paid by tho rich American for the first news of a man's death, as his head is considered a great luxury, if fresh. The man came too, but the obstinate creature insisted that he was dead. Taking- up the ti mi he pointed to the articiat "There !" said he, "don't you . see that I'm dead J" He remained obsti nate to the last, and he refused to live un til he died. Bekotzu t kitzi mitzi !

Tribune records the death of Mrs. Juliet Scott, a venerable la dy of that city, and adds : She was the last surviving child of the Hon., Luther Martin, deceased, who in his day, was probably the most eminent law yer in the United States. He was former ly Attorney General of Marylacd, and was the leading counsel of Aaron Burr on his great trial for treason. Mr. Martin was devotedly attached to bis daughter Juliet, and guve her a thorough and polished edu cation. , For. many years she was a shin ing star in tha most cultivated society of New York, Baltimore and Washington. Mrs. Scott had been both an orphan and a widow for more than a quarter of a cen tury prior to her decease. , Over twenty years of this period she has resided in this city, during a ponion of which time, in connection with her most worthy daugh ters, she has been engaged in the honora ble vocation of instructing the young, and many are the ladies of our city who will bear in grateful remembrance the Dame of Mrs. Scoit, to whose careful iraining, both of intellect and heart, they have been pla ced under lasting obligations. f LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. i ....

A man named Ca sey shot James ' King, the editor of the Bulletin, in the public streets, on the 14th, and Mr. King died two days after on the 16tb. Great excitement ensued. The old Vigilance . Committee' called a meeting, and placards of an inflammatory nature were posted calling on the citizens to take the law into their own hands. " Oil Sunday, the 18th, some three thousand cit izens, completely organized into divisions and companies, armed with muskets, marched by three. separate streets from the committee rooms and took possession of the jail, taking thence Casey, together with the gambler Cora, and carried them to the committee .. rooms, where they re mained strongly guarded up to the sailing Of the steamer. It was supposed they would be hung. The whole city was dressed in mourn ing for the death of Mr. King, who was highly esteemed. Casey was formerly an inmate in Sing Sing, which fact being sta ted in the paper caused the difficulty. The committee of safety is organized throughout the State, and, it is said, have 875,000 with which to carry out their meas ures. One hundred gamblers are lo be driven out the State. The committee it is also said have plenty of arms and ammunition. Their proceed ings were characterized by the most per fect order and propriety. The steamer George Law for New York h id nearly 2,000;000 in gold on board. There had been no arrivals at San Fran cisco. FROM XICAHAGCA. - General Walker has removed his head quarter to Leon. All-was quiet through out the State. There hal been some sick-, ness among the troops. It was rumored that a revolution had broken out in Costa Rica during Mora's absence, headed by an iiifluentiar family named Custo. LATER FROM I A NAM A AND CALIFORNIA WALKER'S EXPEDITION.

The cholera had broken out amongst the troops. Many were dying with the black vomit. They were also suffering dreadfully from dysentery. From the Hertford Times. TUE I'AtVFUL MURDER OF BROWN." A day or two ago Mr. Rockwell, form erly of this city, but who has for some time been a resident of Kansas, returned tojHftrl ford. He says he saw and heard nothing of the awful battles, conflagrations, .civil war, &c , reported to be going on in Kan sas, until he got this side of the Mississippi rioer, and he came directly here, not stop ping much on the way. In regard to the "awful murder of Brown," who was so frightfully "hacked to pieces," as the Tribune and other papers asserted, Mr. Rockwell says he saw the whole transaction. Brown- was a worth less fellow, addicted to low company and fighting. He had been arrested for a mis demeanor, and on being set at liberty, he boasted that he could and would "whip any d d pro-slavery man in Kansas " A proslavery man took him at his word, and they agreed to fight on a wager, the stakes being a Sharp's rifle and a Colt re volver. They then went upon the ground and got ready, when Brown's oourage fail ed him and he backed out Hereupon his antagonist struck him across the bead, making the blood flow, when. Brown's friends seized him, and placing him on a horse, rode with him twelve miles on the coldest afternoon last winter. Those who went with him must have suffered greatly from the cold, and Brown actually froze to death. This was the fact in regard to Brown's death, which papers of the New York Tribune stamp, have gone into con vulsions with the idea that be was brutal ly 'murdered' without provocation, and his body hacked to pieces by the pro slavery 'demons' in Kansas! ' These facts serve to show the general tenor and character of the warfare which the Abolitionists intend to carry on a warfare of abuse and mis representation. "These Abolition presses will not cor rect their untrue statements about the case, though we here give them the facts. No ; tbey are sorry to see any different phase of their bloody stories, because the truth injures them as good working material to go into the Presidential election with. t . APPLES.APPi.ES.

Many troubled with ringing in the ears snd head ' vhen asleep, great nervotiknsss, being alarmed tl sudden sounds, and bashfuiness. with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN' DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of .his painful disease, it too often happens that anill-tim-ed sense o-f shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, Irom education and respectability, ran alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased no?e, noc'taral pains in the head and limbs, dimncsa of sihl, dcufnet-s, nodes on the shin bones and anus, blotches on the head, face and rxtremities, progressing with frithtlul ra pidity, till at last the pnlute of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in. and ihe victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object ef conimis seratinn,till death puts a period lo his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him to "that bourne from whence no traveller returns.'- To such therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America, he can confidently recommends safe and speedy cure to the unfortuna'e victim of this horrid- dio cese. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaint, owing 10 the un ekilfulnrfs ol ignorant pretenders, who, by the uo of thai deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu tion, and either send the unfortunate sufferer 10 an uQtimelygrave.or else make the residue of life mis erable.' t TAKE PARTICULAR OTICE.
