Ibe Castles of the Kob.lliy In Englaid. x From Coloael Forney's LetterO ;; ' Within a few days I have visited the seats of the surrounding nobility, for Stratford-on-Avon is literally

filled with the stately castles ol the ancient families. What an unwritten vet unforcrotten Tjoem it is. the humble crave of ShaksDeare in the center of these ostentatious palaces! The unretending poet, safe in his everastine fame, and the living peer spending his millions to keep his dead ancestors trom ODiivion. vvunm a short ride by rail is "Blenheim," the Sorgeous estate of the Duke of Marloroueh.weH described as "an earth ly paradise.". It was presented by Queen Anne to the Great Duke after his glorious victory at Blenheim, and Parliament voted two millions five hundred thousand dollars for its adornment. The opulence that marked the original gift has been imi tated by the profusion of the succeeding outlays to maintain its grandeur. A park of twenty-seven hundred acres, filled with flocks of sheep and herds of deer an artificial lake covering over two hundred acres plants and flowers from every quarter of the known world walks, water falls and fountains endless statuary tapestries and paintings nearly two hundred years old, including ancient masterpieces 01 liuhens and Titian a library two hundred feet long, containing nearly eighteen thousand volumes, the whole of these luxuries in cluded in a building the front of which is three hundred and fifty feet in length all to do honor to a successful General . and his haughty duchess, who, notwithstanding his victories, is denounced by Macaulay as a corrupt, faithless, and dangerous courtier! And all this vast expanse of soil and these priceless luxuries are left for nine months of the year to the care of a few servants, because the present owner cannot bear the cost of living here, while hundreds and thousands of God's creatures are living and almost starving at his verv gates! You can thus have an idea of what js called the territorial aristocracy of England. Eight miles from Shakspeare s grave is the stately castle of the Earl of Warwick, where, though the grounds are not so exteusive as those of "Blenheim," the inner objects are scarcely less costly. Here, indeed, the 31use of History ! can recall the past and forecast the future ; but the contrast between the enduring renown of a great genius like Shakspeare and the fleeting fame of those who lived only upon their prince's favors remains the same. ' Kenilworth " is in the same locality. I wandered among its moss-covered ruins all unroofed and deserted as , they are and traced the lines of 'the huge structure which three hundred years ago re-echoed to the revelry of the royal courtiers and their retainers, and re-read in the fascinating pages of Sir Walter Scott the bitter rivalries of Essex and Leicester, the sad fate of Amy Robsart, the splendid Erogress of Queen Elizabeth from iOndon, as described by the Wizard of the North; and I fancied the crowds that thronged the roads and filled the broad demesne around the residence of the handsome favorite. Not far off is " Chatsworth," the estate of the Duke of Devonshire, far more expansive though more modern than " Blenheim." Here I found a park of two thousand acres and over six thousand deer; a palace oi quadrangular form, with an open court in the middle, in the center of which is a splendid fountain. It is impossible," even if it were any part of my purpose, to describe the works of art and the money spent to adorn an establishment occupied only exceptionally by its titled owner. The gardens and conservatory are the gems. They were planned and laid out by Sir Joseph Paxton, who was formerly a common gardener of the Duke, and whose salary was larger than that of the President of the United States. Close at hand is Haddon Hall, another old castle, with large grounds, and in the same circle is Newstead Abbey, the abode of Lord Byron, now owned and occupied by Colonel Wiidman, a gentleman of cultivation and taste. A Pen Picture of Parson Brownloiv. I found Brownlow at his home here, where he has been for some time past not in worse health than he has been for several years, but certainly not in good health. He confines himself closely to the house; and I found him lying on the sofa in his shirt sieves, the floor littered with newspaper exchanges that showed the sanctum of the editor of the : Knox -ville" Whiffy while on the shelf close to his hand, as he lay on the sofa, were multitudinous official papers that indicated the workicg:room of the Governor of Tennessee. ; IIe f is afflicted with a palsey, whieh causes his hand to shake violently, ("rheumatism," he said to me in unsolicited explana tion,) and his throat has been so ruined by Tennessee stumping and preaching, that he can now speak on'v with "bated breath." If you w: nt a slight silhouette of a man, here it is: A good head, a c-!o-e-fhaved, biloas, tufifcring f.u-e, an uye large enough and fu:l i hv,v the phrenologist that this is ti;e sijan who described his chief do light, to be "the pilirjg up of epithets jigain.vt the infernal rebellion;" an ui'.oveiy nose, peaked and turned up as though with much snuffing of thii g meiodo rous. rd thin, firm-set. b!i o Lfsiips. in which something of the evil one lurks. 1 believe there is really much that is good in the man. I have been told by more than one rebel of acts of kindness he has done them individu- i

ally that reveal genome ,numan sympathiesThen bne cannot help hon-

onnr him tor his staunch loyalty in the trvine times. --But. on Hhe'whole, j I must say he presented a rather sad ' aoectacle aa he lav there, the old man. cadaverous and paralytic, breathing forte, like, another baul pi larsus. threatening and slaughters. An article in a recent number of the New Orleans Crescent, attributed to the pen of Gen. S. B. Buckner, gives expression to a wise and concili atory spirit: "Here and there, throughout the land mv be heard the crentle whis perings of peace and good will stilling the cries of vengeance in one section, and soothing the afflictions of the other. This Christian spirit, in, true harmony with the impulses of patriot ism, would heal the deep wounds of I the country, forget the contentions of the past, and reunite in fraternal bonds the whole people of a country so recently torn by internal dissen sions. Uur people should not turn a deaf ear to these patriotic pleadings. is or have they done so. from the day of the surrender of our armies to the present moment they have mani fested a disposition to return, not only with resignation, but with hearty good will, under the Government 1 from which , they sought to sever' them selves. t ; " Without exception, the recognized leaders of the South have counseled natience. submission and obedience. Even where laws of an acknowledged revolutionary character, or of ques tionable constitutionality, have impo sed upon' us an arbitrary system of I government, opposed to all the tradi tions ot republican institutions, our people, instead of meditating an Oppo sition which the civilized world would justify, have sought only to conform to the:onorous conditions which are imposed, to reorganize their society on a new . basis, and, forgetting past wrongs and present sufferings, to move forward with renewed hope in the race of prosperity, thus addingt by the additional strengh whieh their sup port will give, to the greatness and the glory ot a re-united. country. Gen. ouckner, and men like him. are better friends to . the country today than J ohnson and otanbery. , The Boston Commonwealth, straight radical paper, relates Judge Carter's questioning of Gen. Grant in relation to the Presidency, and gives the General's reply as follows: To which Gen. Grant replied that he really did not feel desirous of be coming President ot the United States: that he had been honored and trusted in a degree that was a sur prise to himself; and yet he felt that. it the people called upon him to be come a candidate for the Presidency of the party that had been for the war tor tlie preservation of tti Union, tie could not feel that he was at liberty to decline; and that, as a matter of course, he could have nothing what ever to say, in such a case, to the second person on theticKet; that as also the first place on the ticket was a matter for the wisdom of the peo ple to determine, and he certain! could have no objection to Mr. Wade which is taken by the Wade men to mean that Gen. Grant is in the field. Yes! and we will venture the guess that the ticket will be (irant and V ilson. WnAT is declared to be the verita ble Asiastie plague has appeared at Kerbelah, on the. Euphrates, and of the two settled Arab tribes 1,000 strong whom it has attacked, a hun dred have been carried off. A tele graphic report, dated June 4, from the quarantine inspector at JJagdad, states that whatever may be the real character oi tne maiauy, its symp toms are really those ot the pest typhus fever, glandular swellings. carbuncles, and livid blots on the skin. The inducing causes of the outbreak are supposed to have been the miasma following the late floods. the poverty, filth, and the crowded state in which the people live. Prompt measures have been taken by the Bagdad authorities to prevent tne spread ot the malady. Leavenworth papers of the 26th, say tne grassnoppers are maxing a clean sweep of every green thing in the garden throughout the southern and western portions of the city, and on the country iarms beyond. Mil lions filled the air on Tuesday, from 11 A. M. till sundown, without any ap parent diminution ot the numbers on the ground. As last as their, "wings are developed they take flight, and their course is steadily southeast.1 It will require a couple of weeks for all of them to become full-fledged.
