Northern and South erner Atlantic and Western -whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests , and vi.ews. ; One of the expedients of party to acquire - in fluence within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You can not shield yourselves too mueh against the jealousies and heart-burnings, which spring from these misrepresentations : thev tend to alien to each other those yrao ought to be found together by fraternal aflection. ' : . Admonition or Jackson. (Farewell Address, March 3, 1837.) "But the Constitution' can not be maintained, nor the Union preserved is opposition to the pubuo feeling, by the mere exertion of the coercive powers confided to the General Government. The foundations must be laid in the affections of the people; in the security itcrives to life, liberty, character and property, in every quarter of the coun try; and in the fraternal attachments which the citizens of- the several States bear one to another, as members of one ; political family, mutually contributing to promote tne nappiness of each other. - Hence, the citizens of every State should studiously avoid everything calculated to wound the sensibility or offend the just pride of the people of other States ; and they should frown upon any proceedings within their own borders likely to disturb the tranquility sf v their political brethren in other portions of the Union. In a country so extensive as the " United States, and with pursuits so varied, the internal regulations of the several States must frequently differ from one another in important particulars ; and this difference is unavoidably increased by the varying principles upon which the Amer ican colonies were originally, planted; principles which have taken deep root in their social relations, before ' the Be vo lution, and therefore, of necessity, in- uuencing uieir policy since iney oecame free, and independent States. " But each State has the' unquestionable right to regulate its owii internal concerns according to its own pleasure ; and while it does not interfere with the rights of the people of. other States, or the rights of the IJnion every one must judge, of the measures proper to secure the safety of its citizens and: promote their- happiness; -and all efforts on the part of the people of other States to cast odium upon their, institutions., and all meas ures calculated to disturb their riirhts of property, ', or to put ' into jeopardy their peace ' and internal tranquili ty. aro iu direct opposition of the Spirit la which the Union was formed,-and must endanger its safety. -: Motives ; of phi lanthr bpy maybe assigned for this' uh- warrantaDie intcrterenco j . and weas men may persuade themselves, for a moment;-that they are laboring in the cause oi.aomaaiij. ana asserting me right .of tho . human! race ;. but every one upon sober-reflection, will see that . -. - -.1. nothing but mischief can come from these improper assaults iipon the feel ings and rights of others. : Hest assu red that . the men- found ; busy in this work of discord are not worthy of your confidence,' and deserve your strongest reprobation, - .. . , ' : By JmesJIadlflon.

The Union and Rebel armies are in very close proximity to each other. The. 43d Regiment, in General Pope's Command, having moved toward the enemy four or five miles every ; eight "or ten days, is now encamped at armington, ; the scene of the skirmishes on the 3d. and 0th of May. We are so close to the enemy as to be able to' hear distinctly the'whistling of their oeomotives and beating of drums in their camps, .mis would seem to indicate that something must he done before long ; but the ast week has been one of comparative' tran quility and we may pass just such -another. '" The great battle at Pittsburg Landing on the 6th and 7th of April and the anticipated one, are the absorbing subjects with the sold iers, the occasional cannonading by skirmishing parties keeping them reminded of the laL ter, and their letters from home, telling of dead and wounded friends and relations arriving there, bringing the former back to them' with vividness. Certainlv a rr eater number of real ly sad incidents, may be related of the great battle of Shiloh than of any other in the histo-. ry of wars. The body of a young Union soldier was feund lying in a fence corner, .where he had fallen when 'wounded ' and died, from loss of blood. A simple' bandage ?and' a draught of cool water might : haye' saved ' his life ; but 'he had not these nor' any earthly consoler, and, amidst the groans of equally ian fortunate comrades,' his noble spirit took its flight to that realm where "war and' carnage cannot come. As the crimsoni tiile of his life flowed away, gradually but surely,' he wished to leave for his friends a clue to his awful fate, and commenced cutting his name in the rail near which he lay. He got only as far as "John Ran"- when the knife dropped from his hand ! and he expired. Will these seven letters ever elicit who'was this youth who died literally carving his own epitaph. - Hundreds of incidents affecting ns' this" one hiight be ro- aicu mi mail airiui cuuuar WJasper lttridgeV 'Esq.', formerly editor of the Cardingtbn?(0.
