WAMUJtOTO* L’lTV, Miy 19. To Mr, Thompson : Daar Sir—I left off my last Utter to you only a few rnlnltl before the omnibus cam to take me from the bolol to the steambote. Well, I waa a little behind l.ho ndin'.n tatratlou In gettln’ my tranks p-taknd ag'tn, and aum monstrous nigh Beltin' left. Hut Patrick got me down to tire wharf jeet a* llie last ring was dylu’ nut of the bell, and lu a row mlnlls I was afloat ou suit water for the time In my life. You t fell In a re “ an Tevor » Jubns 'uoul ,‘eud If them was noy _ way of gettlit’ round It I wouldn’t ruu no sick risks, you may ilepeud. It was a bnllfiil afternoon, and the passengers was all as lively si crickets, talkin’ end laughin' aud lookin' at the city ae tbs steambote went spankin' along with her (logs a (lyin' and her wheels turulu'tbn set Into soapsuds aud Uevln’ a white track In the water behind us. Ther was n heap of ahl|M and steam bo lav all about - sum stand In’ still, sum garlnc out mid sum cum in' In, and little boats not bigger than n feedln’ trough was dodgin’ all about, with ther white sails a shlnlu’ lu the tun like mnd-Ulll cranes In a rlcw field. The city kop’ gettin’ smaller uud smal ler, till blmeby Fort Moultry, wh*. you know the Oarollua boys licked the British to In Uie revolution, didn’t look uo bigger than a fodder-suck. 1 looked around for the shore, but the sky seemed t> cu:u down to llic water or every aide, till It looked Jest like the crystal of my watch, ’ilwnt a spot of yeatli to put one’s foot on a* far as my eyes could see, I begun to feel mon strous sksry, and I dou't believe 1 ever did draw etch long brelbt beforu i.i oil wy torn days. I do b'lleve I thought •>f all the ship-rucks 1 ever read uf In iny life, and l would a gin 10 per cent of all I had la the world to had my life lusured. 1 held on to the side of the boat with both hands, and kep as fur uff from Llie aide of tire btler as I could. But Ibe ladys and the little children didn’t teem to mind It a bit, and after we wat out of sight of land abuut a oufnr T ant * llltla nvur mv ntfppr B i rot by a nigger teller commenced rlugln’ a bell aa bard aa b« could ring, ■tad hollerin' out, "Gentlemen wliat lialn’t paid tlmr passage will please to walk np to the C'aptlna oillce and set tle !" Aa soon as I could git u chance I paid for mjr HokeU, and pretty soon after that tlte bell rung agin for sup per. We bad a fust-rate supper, but •Iimliow It didn’t seem natural to ba swlmmln’ nod rockin’ ahont in the sea and eatin’ at the some time, aud 1 didn't eat much. Besides, there was a sort of elcklsh feella' cum over me In the supper-room, and I wool au on the roof agin as quick as I could to smoke a eegnr, Dilutin' It roought make me feel better. By this Lime it was night, but the moon and stare was sliiulu’ above and below—the ouly dlfferenoo in the sea and the heaven* bein' that the stars and the moon In the water was dancin' about Ilka they was out of tber senses, while them In the eky was winkin’ twinklin’ in ther old placea as quietly and sober as ever. I got a light for my segar and was J<«t Uogtnnlu’ to smoke, when the nigger feller cum up to ma and ae* Us “Mnaaa, no smokin’ 'lowed aft the machinery. ” “Tim mischief ther ain’t I" sea I. nnd I went away back to the hind ceud of the boat and tuck ■ seat, and com menced a right good smoke to myself. Hot l hadn’t Ikjoo that more’n a ratnlt before here cum the nigger Toiler agio. “You mustn’t smoko oft the ma chinery'” see ha. “Well,” see 1. “I ain’t uanr ycr roach inary.” our.- MS be, --you is in," “▲ft what V‘ tea 1. -The plaoe for gentlemen to smoke is forard,” aoa be. -Weil.” seat, “my bock, I don't uuderatund your gtbrlah, but If you’ll )est show mo wliar 1 can smoko ’iliout any danger to your machinery. I’ll go thar.” With that the bomntable fool begun to mInker, ul he eeed my oane was taken the measure of bis bed for a nock down, wbeu lie straightened op tlie pucker of bta faoe and tod : “Cum this w»y, air; thla the forard deuk. mm. " I follows 1 him over to the fare esnJ of the boat, wbar turn more gentlomrn was amok in. I hadn’t lelched n drap of lieksr In a coon's age, but I wat never to put to walk strait in my life, Humliow I couldn’t nuke no aort of calkerlatlon for live floor—ona miult It was up to my knse, sad the next step I couldn’t hardly reach It -and my legs krp gttl In mixed up and tangled au I didn't know oue from tother. All the passengers teemed like they wat tlte—torn of 'em look oil monttrons serious, and one or two waa cut* kid In over the side of the boat into tlte tea srllh sll tber might. I felt a little sort o’ swimmy io tin hrd myself, sod I begun to tplolon 1 was Ratlin seasick, so I lock a seat by the aids of tbo bout and smoked my togsr tn settle my stommlek. Well, tbar rtot and smoked till all the passengers went down Into the bedroom to sleep. It was a hutifal night, and l be ate no was J«»t llw klad to sat s man's hralna a Ihlnkin. The aaa la n roomy place and thar'a nothin’ tbar to prevent nna’a (Ivin free eonpe to tils Imagination—It'a a mighty thing, tbo son la, and If a man don't ftalboms aaldlnte emotions in its pra aonca, It's a monstrous the great, the out In tu daucln to the wind), and the avar-aplashin In itaooral porpoiaaa to thar a sort allenco that Call negatively on the ear. 1 loaned over the aide and looked at the Aery loam, via It idtled spin-kiln away from thr boa; hut It faded from the face of tho aaa while 1 looked at It, and a few yarda hehiot] us ther rcruninod no (nice <>t our paasagr. I felt alone on tho east ocean, and a feelin of isolation cum over me, which foie l got rid of It, made the trout seem no bigger than a trap it, and niyielf about tho slxe of a young seed lick, I could preached a sermon on the snb Utility of ereation. and the ioalgnlfl* nance of mau and lila woiks, but 1 hail nn congregation then, and its too late now. I don't know what made me ILink of homa—bot aumliow I felt liko IM glu a haup to lio tbar. I thought of tho butifal bright eyea that waa closed iu sloop on my pillar, suit the dear little onb that w«a nestled In my place, lMeas llicr dear souls—perilous they was dreaiuln of ir.e that vei> min it— perhaps I was uevar to see’em In Uila world agaio. Those thoughts mudo me fee) mouulroua bid, nod the more I redacted about it. Ibe worse I frit, lit I bllava I would glu all I bed In LUa world Jest to be aura I wouldn't die before i got hack. uiu>«t>y, i thought, I’d try to gj to sleep. *o I went uown Into Uis bedroom and tried it. Hut It was no go. 1 got lulo ooe of the little bores, what they call berths, but f couldn't stay born do way I could Ox It. lo tho Qiat place I couldn’l git stowed away uo how, and lu tbe next place, whenever I ahul ray eyes. It seemed like lbs boat whs whirl lu round and round like a trtd wheel, i got up, went upstairs, and smoked another segur, til 1 got pretty tired, and tlieu I went lu tbe genUeaieti’s parlor, and stretched myself on one or llie seats. I fell asleep thar saoillme between that and daylight, and uever waked up til roost breekfust time the next morr.iu, when thev eed we was in Cape Fear, gwloe right up to Wilming ton. Cape Four Is a very floe river, and liter's acme doe plantations and lioiiww on the banks when you git near to VVIJ mlugtou. Pretty aoou after brackfust we got lu eight of the city, and a few mlnita afterward* wc was long aide tbe wbarf, and the niggers was cartln our baggago np tbe bill to the ml I mud Wilmington presents 'bout as curious a aspect from the river sa any town lu my knowlna. The fust thing you see Is everlastlu piles of turpentine bar rels. plied up on tbs wbarf lu evry di rection, and on tbe vessels in the river. That's the front rank. Tbe next is * platoon of wind mills, enuff to lick all Uie Don Qulcksola In Spain. lu them they blla spirits of turpentine out of tbs gum. Tha rare rack—and tbat’s scattered all oyer the hill—Is crude up of bouaM what’s been burnt down, with here and tliar a few more barrels of turpenlinr. They’ve had two or three flees hero Ute, wbst’s burnt up tbe beat part or the town; but I don't wonder at It, for r would as soon think of putlln out a powdtr-house ns a plane what's to perfectly soaked with tur pentine. All I wonder at Is that the river don’t ketch s (Ire too. We waned about a ower In Wil mington Which afforded ua a opportu nity of looklii at sam very haudsurn blla las, among wbieb was the unw Pis copal Church, a monstrous pretty btldlDg, we wont back to tbe oars. When we got tbrr, 1 ax’d a nigger fel lar whar I could git sum segara, and he told me to go Into n house what stood rile over a branch, on Stilts bout 20 feel high, whar he sed Lucy Ann would •all ’em to me. Well, I woht ioto the house, sod set i, "I* I.uoy Ann here * m m/ iwiuo, mu ■ * IVMf UUf landItli person with a coat and britchoe on.

And wbou he does stop a minute lie’s so pestered with hack drivers sod porters tbut he haln’t got time to buy his ticket or «tt his breakfast, let alone doln anything else. I was anxious to have a good look at tbe Old Dominion, fora good many reasons —t wanted to see the .State wbar my tether and mother was born, and wtiat had aiveu birth to the great Washington, llul I had sich n bomi nablo pore cliaoco, I don’t believe I'd know any more about Virgioy when I’d sue It again than Captain Marry*; did about America wbnat he want homo to write Ins eyerlastin book of lies. The Polo mao Is a noble river; and as thor was no w*vre tu set tbe bole a roll In. 1 had a fast rate chanoo to look ut the scenery on Its banks. I never shall forglt my feelings when the ball rung to let ut know we wus near Washington's grave at Mount Vernon. 1 frit it was a grate privilege to be ul lowod to look at that saerod spot where the ashes of the father of bis country was repcslo—to took at tbs uiouud of yeth that had taken to Itseir the noble form in which had centered so much virtue, so mooh patriotism, so much valor, so much wisdom, so much of evrythlng that ennobles hu man outer. I remembered how on the bosom of the very stream on wbloh I was, a British fleet once floated, and that when they passed tbe grave of our country’s sainted horn, they lowered Uiolr proud bsnuur, in token of respect to the illustrious ded — and when 1 thought of that, it made mo half for give ’em for destroyln tbe city that boro Ms name. Fort Washington stands high up on tbe bank, and looks down monstrous sissy; and l reckon If the John Bulls was to try that game •gin. they'd had the t’otomse sum what rougher navi-**ah(iu now than It was then. In a few mlnita more we w*a In sight of Washington City, with the great umbrella top of the capital loom In up Into the btaysna. grand, gloomy and penuliar. We wasn't long getlln to the wliarf, and after a terrible en counter with ’boot five oubmen and porters, I mads oat to git my baggage into a beck and druv to Uadaby’sHo tel, wbar I got« good supper aud soon went to bed.

This Ad miral Dewey granted. At the expira tion of the tree tiled time. Admiral Dnwcy and General Merritt oontullad uad decided to postpone lb* attack. An August IS. the Americans formed In line off Manila. The Olympia Bred the first ihol at the Malate fort. The shots of the Americana fall short' sad som* time was occupied io finding tbe range. The Callao, ono of tlie gun boets captured by Admiral Dewey from the Spaniards, got under tho fort aod sent In * hat dro. Grout destruction was duua with the rapid dro guns. The fort failed to reply, but fired oo the American trooiw, wire were storming the Spanish tranches. Tbo large in eric in ships were ordered to caass firing after an bout’s wort, owing to the fail ure of the fort to respond. The light ing In tits ire idles waa most fierce. Fifteen minus* after the Spun lards were driven to the tocond line uf de fences, Uwy were forced to retreat to tbe wallnd city, where, seeing tbe use loMmess of retietenoe. they snrseodorod end soon afterwards a white flag whs hoisted over Uslate.

Tb* American Ins I* report'd to be •lx or eight killed aod 40 wounded. The Spanish lots war considerable, but the exact number it not obtainable. Tho trenches were filled with badly wounded Spauiaidl. Manila Is now under martial law, with General Mer ritt at military governor. Perfect order prevailed in MaalU, ou tho evening of August 13. At tbe American* marched in, guards were placed around the house* of all for eigner* in older to prevent their being looted. The insurgent* were not al lowed to toko part in tbn ultack upon tbo city, but ware kept In Uie roar of the Americana. In order to prevent bloodshed they were forbidden to ontor the city after the surrender unless they wets unannad. Before the surrender the Spaniard* horned the transport Cebu, in U.e Pasig river.
