LETTER FROM \\'.ASIIING'llON.

“'1: give below a. few extracts from a letter N- ccivcd from oitr old friend, Josiah McLeod, l‘Isq., since his return to Washington :—

Wnshington, Oct. 4, 1867.

I was greatly pleased to see the evidences of increased prosperity all overyour country. So strikiin.r was the change in some settle- ments, by the improving of new farms, the clearing away of forests, and the building,’ of substantial houses and burns, that. I could sc cely recognize the face of the country. In no part of the Island is this change more remarkable than in your own little town. When I was there last, almost nine years ago, it was but a struggling little village, embedded in mud and sea-weed. Now it almost rivals Charlottetown in its trade and commerce. ainl boasts of two weekly news- papers. Who ever dreamed of a newspaper outside of Charlottetown eight years ago? To entitle you to rank with American towns of the same population, you need a barber's shop, one icc~ereain snloun, at least in the summer season, good substantial side-walks, and last thunin not least. you need an Incor- poration Act, to enable you to control those mercurial spirits that “split. the car of night " at times, with their hideous howling along your streets. I inn sure if lllt‘fil.‘ guy and festive youths could only hear some of the scrcrnides that we have in \ hington sonic- tinics they would become heartily ashamed of their own performances, aiid cease their: in future.

My friends here were greatly astonished when I informed them ot'the price of whiskey and other necessaries of life, in l'. E. Island. They could scarcely believe me when I iii- formed them that a fine suitol'grcy homespun that I had brought out with me would cost but. fourteen or fifteen dollars in your coun- trv, mid that I had boarded at the best. hotel at the rate of" ii dollar a day, which was con- sidcrcd by many there an exorbitant charge.

You lune probably read an nherodinner speech of Daniel Webster to the people of Itochnster. closing: “ Go on, men of ltoeli- csterl No people ever lost their liberties with awnrcrf‘all a hundred and fifty feet high.” In like manner I would say to you, “Go on, men of l'. E. Island! No people ever lost their liberties with whiskey at three pence per glass!" With us whiskey, warranted to kill at forty rods, costs fifteen cents, ainl brandy from forty to fifty cents per glass; and the consequence is that we have ten mighty states divested of all civil and political liberty.

“[0 had an exciting time here a few nights ago. rercnnding Generals Sheridan. Sickles and llaneock. I never saw such a. vast con- course of people assembled together in the streets of Washington. llockcts ascended on high, and burst over the city. Red,wliite aiul blue lights blazed from the top of \Villard's Ilotcl, and rows of cliincsc lanterns hung out. in front. As the form of the dashing Iittic raider—the gneatcst cavalry leader of the age —appearcd on the balcony, the cheers that greeted Iiiiii from the lISSt. iblcd thousands were perfectly deafening. while the hands of the Marine Brigade and Twelfth Infantry discourscd triumphant music. From the noise mid tumult of that scene my mind was irresistibly carried bar-k to the Iiiiic when the issue of a great battle depended upon the speed with which Sheridan ainl his gallant steed passed over the twenty miles interven- Ing between him and the scene of'slriic,whcn

"The at“ igbled air. with a shudder bore, Like a herald in haste. to the cliciflain's door, The terrible grumblenuui rumblc,nnd roar, Tcllini,r the battle was on once more,

And Sheridan tn'ciityinilcs away."

I suppose you liarclieui'd the spirited verses on this subject by T. llnrlianan ltead, from which I quote. ln rapid and animated flow of description, as Well as in metrical cadence, they resemble somewhat’l‘ennyson's "Charge of the Light brigade.” I enclose them to you for piiLIi 'ation. Gen. Sickch made a powcrfnl speech from the balcony of the Evcrit House in defu ice of the Congressional plan of Reconstruction. As he is still an oilleer in the army, military etiquette restrained him from aninmdvcrting on l'resident Johnston's charactcr. Wacn l gazed upon his cold, stern, inipns ve fen- turcs. I tlioughtnuthnia his military record— nlthough lie had lost a leg in the service—but upon his memorable words after having shot the reducer of his wife: “ lie and I could not live together on the same planet I" I may mention here that the tree against which lv' ' leaned when he was shot has been all carr away by curiosity seekers, so that nothi _ ‘_ left ot'il. now but the bare slump, on a. lo el with the ground. “is unfortunate wife, who was as beautiful and accomplished as she was frail, has lately passed away from the scene of her shame ninl suffering—the best thing shc eolild do under the circualslunccs. We have just entered upon the theatrical season in Washington. Mini t'aroline llicb- ings‘ English Opera has been drawing erni d- cd and fiiahionahle audiences to the National Theatre nightly for several weeks. She was the first that introduced the English Opera into this country; and this I iiy has been the scene of her greatest. reward mid triumph. Some of their qiiartcttes arc magnificent. The tenor, Mr. thistle, surpasses in power ainl sweetness of tone all the tenor singers I ever heard, excepting llrignoh. Mr. (lump- bell, usa li.ir.uone, stands unrivalled. Iwish you could hear a good opera once. I know that you would be enraptiircd. Altliouizlil made it a mint to bear this troupe once in t‘ilt‘ll of their lending opera: I do not. attend with anything approaching regularity, simply because I can‘t afford it. The opera is too expensii a luxury for me.
