nR HnME,s LETTER.
nsgnIupted me on former occasions.

 '-fsreece is no longer in a state to demand charity as one nation from another she owes n heavy debt Of gratitude to the Christian world forils generous suecors in the hour of peril and agony, but to none more than to 1 the females Of America; nor do believe there is on the page of history nObler or more disinterested act of charity, than theirs | to Greece. It is an honor to our country, to l your sex, and to human nature; and every ] 6ae who was employed in it, deserves her sshare .Of9hat honOr-from the affluent citvaS slady tO the poorest serving girl, whose means were smaller. but whose motives were as pure

 Other agents have distributed many gar meats. myself have given out about 5OsOO0 pieces to women aad children: it would be easy for me t0 procure hundreds of letters of thanks to you from females in Greece, but 1t seems to me superduOus and little too like show; most of the poor crea- lures whO have received the garments cannot read or write. and it would never enter into theif simple minds to get up letter; but have read their thanks in their gushing eyes --heard their blessing on Americans, and

 Heaven has recorded their prayers for their

 benefactors. Go where you will in Greece,

 you see the blue checked gowns and cotton

 frocks made by you; ask the poor widow

 where she got her gown, and she will answer

 "tEe Americans gave it ;" demand of any Eaan, woman or child in Greece, what nation has been the kndest and moss charitable to

 their country in the bitter hour of trial, and the answer ever is "America''

 have the honor to, be, Ladies, respectful ly yours, SAMUEL G. HowE.

 Isthmus of fCorinth, Feb. 9th, 1880.

 The Richmond Wing gives the following

 particulars In relation tU the unfortunate mur-

 der recently committed in that city. It af-

 lords one Of the most awful instances On re-

 cord fthe effects of unbr;dled passions :--

 Charlotte Haywood charged with the mur-

 der of the colored girl Lucy Johnson, on the

 9sth ult. was drought before the Hastings Y Court yesterday, which had been specially

 called for the examination of this case. On

 the case being called, her counsel, John S. | Myers and Rohi, G. Scott, Esqs. moved a !, pOstpOnement Of the case to the court in

 course, three weeks hence. Granted.

 The prisoner appears to be about 25 years

 Otage, rather under the middle size, her fig < ufe quite handsome. She wore large sun ssbonnet, which hid her face, and prevented the spectat0rs observing it. She was accompan- ed by her infant, an interesting looking girl of

 about two years of age. Her husband was

 also in cOnsk She seemed to feel deeply the awful nature0f her situation. Awful indeed

 tt is-especially when c0ntrasted with what she was a few years ago, befure her marriage. . She is represented by those who then knew herin Norfolk, where she was brought up

 and married, to have been the admiration of the circle in which she moved, as we'll for < Fer personal heauty, as for her amabe con- \ duet. What has brought her step by step from that happy. to her present miserable 3 state, IS generally known; but it is not our e province, at least at this time, to speak oft.

 iAnother Steam bout Disoster learn ; from the St., Lawrence Gazette. that a new steamboat, owned by E. B. Dodd, and oth- erss of Brownville. Jefferson county. called me Brownville." was burnt to the waters edge on Sunday the 9th inst. about thirty ' miles above Ogdensburg while making her 7 drsf trip on the river. She left Brownyille E t0rfle latter place loaded principally with ashes. pork, beer and whskcy, and when Wltbln few miles of Alexandria Bay. the fire comMunicated to the wooden materials un- der the furnace, and from thence spread through the lining on both sides. When the

 isre made such progress as to preclude the hope of saving the boat, she was run into AL

 exandfia Bay, and as much of the cargo as ]. vas practicable tO come ut, was thrown O. {. Eerboard. We have not learned that any z Ives were lost. 8 sA aa ,9~ 5~

 n1 Hssa aE3psB @ M - Maal Salt Works.--The Charlestown (Kanaw-

 hal Register ofthe 3Oth ult. affirms that "no

 district in the Union has the capacity for pro- 'dncing more salt than Kaaawha county, vet

 the existing company limits the manufacture

 10 100000 bushels year. which is about one

 third of the amount capable of being produ-

 ced from the salt wells already dug that there are few independent furnaces which

 never augment 300, 900, 10 more than a mil- li0n of bushels year-and that the Q7 salt wells on the Kanawha are capable of yielding -550.00O bushels each, annually. which would form an aggregate of 2,850. .OOO bushels, an a- mount but little short of double that was ever made in one year at the New-Y York works. 1" 1t adds, that 90 naf boats, laden with about 1 10000 bushels of salt, went down the Kanaw- 1 ha on the 2Tth, bound for the Cumberland and Wabash rivers.

But in each in- .stAnce, the buildings set fire to were saved { without much damage. The inhabitants de- iarmined upon a summary mode ofridding the town of suspicious persons. The young men were organized into corps of Police, to make d0miciliary visits, and it was resolved that all those who should not be able to give a sa,is. 1 factory account of themselves, should be ex | pelied by virtue of Lynch's Law.
