workman, or mine in the haste of transcribing. One or two
other errors, which are mine, I made the subject of two notes,
which I addressed you through the Post-office. My absence from
town, and my intended absence to-morrow, prevent my preparing
another article for Saturday. Possibly, I will have it ready
for Monday, and certainly for Tuesday. Acknowledge its
receipt, and that it will appear on Monday or Tuesday. I have
not yet come to the _real gems_ of my budget. Reed shall have
a surfeit.

Respectfully, &c.,

VALLEY FORGE.

his real name.

From the Evening Journal.

R. M. WHITNEY, Esq: Dear Sir,--I am pained beyond measure, at the situation
in which I have been so unfortunately instrumental in placing you. But for
circumstances _which I cannot possibly control_, I would promptly
communicate to you my name and residence. A pledge, rigidly exacted by my
venerable relative, Col. ----, and solemnly given by me at the time he
consented that I should communicate to you the letters of the late General
Smith, and the other papers with which he furnished me, that I sho
