the laet, till an effort was made to reclaim hia wife. Daniel is a faithful, likely man, and is well liked by all who kn»w him. He is industrious and prudent, and is bending his whole energies toward the reclaiming his wife. He can forward to yon the one hundred dollars at any day that it mav be wanted, and if you can do anything to forward his interests it will be very gratefully* received as an additional favor on your part.

The letters that have been written for him were dated " Niagara Falls, Canada West," and his friends think he is there—none of them know to the contrary—it is important that they never do know. N. C.

MR. Wsi. STILT.—Dear Sir:—I enclose herewith a draft on New York, payable to your order, for $100, to be paid on the delivery at Philadelphia of Daniel Roberlsnn's wife.
You can readily see that it baa been necessary for Daniel to work almost night and day to have laid up so large an amount of money, since the first of April, aa this one hundred dollars. Daniul is industrious and prudent, and saves all of his earnings, above liis most absolute wants. If the Captain is not successful in getting Daniel's wife, you, of course, will return the draft, without charge, as you said. I hope success will attend him, for Duiiiel deserves to be rewarded, if ever man did. Yours, &c. K. COEYELL.

DEAR SIP. :—Your favor containing draft on N. York, for Daniel Robertson, came to baud on the 31st ult. Daniel begs to tender his acknowledgments for your kind interest manifested in his behalf, and says he hopes you will leuve no measure untried which baa any appearance of success, and that tho money shall be forthcoming at a moment's notice. Daniel thinks that eiuce Christmas, the chaucea for his wife's deliverance are fewer than before, for at thst time he fears she was disposed of and possibly went South.
The paper sent me, with your well-written article, was received, and on reading it to Daniel, lie knew some of the parties mentioned in it—he was much pleased to hear it read. Daniel spent New Year's in Elmira, about 18 miles from this place, and there he met two whom he was well acquainted with. Youra, |
