WrtTO HOW OUR CORRESPONDENT CAME INTO THE WORLD: WITH SOME PAETICUI iARS CONCERNING HIS EARLY CHILDHOOD. Washington, D. C, March 20th, 1861. Judge not hj appearances, my boy ;for appearances are very deceptive, as the old lady cholerically remarked when one, who was really a virgin on to forty, hlushingiy informed her that she was just twenty-five this month. Though you find me in Washington now, I was born of respectable parents, and gave every indication, in my satchel and apron days, of coming to something better than this, much better, my boy. Slightly northward of the Connecticut river, where a pleasant little conservative village mediates between two opposition hills, you may behold the landscape on which my infantile New England eyes first traced the courses of future railroads. Near the centre of this village in the valley, my boy, and a little back from its principal road, stood the residence of my worthy sire and a very pretty residence it was.
