These facts ; show what we have uniformly asserted, that Dr. Simmons was not, and would not, under any circumstarces, be regardless of his dutics as au cflicer and high-toned gentlemen. The following is the letter : Fort Rivey, K. T., Aug. 21, 1855. To the Editor of the Register: Your paper of the 11th instant, in connec- tion with rumors which have just reached me, reflects upon my own conduct as weil as that of the soldiers at this post during she late epi- demic. I must, therefore, request you to give place in your columns to my own state- ment.

The music was pliyed in sweetest strains—the i the play began Ned and ul legs’? marched upen the stage. The elephant was grected with round upon round of applause. The decorations and the trap- pings were gorgeous. The elephint and ti prince seated upon his back were lvudlv cheer- ei. The play preceeded; the elephant was marched round and round upon the stage. The fore legs got dry, withdrew one of the corke, and treated the hind legs, and then drank the health cf the audience in a bumper of genuine elephant eye whiskey, a brand, by the way, till then unknown. On went the play and on went Ned drinking. The conclusion march was to be made—the signal was given, and the fore legs staggered towards the front cf the stage. The conductor pulled the ears of the elephant to the right—the fore legs staggered wo the left. The foot lights obstruct- ed the way, and he raised his foot and stepped plumb into the orchestra! Down went the fore legs en the leader's fiddle—over. of course, turned the elephant. sending the prince and hind legs into the middle of the pit. The manager stood horror struck—the prince and hind legs lay confounded. the boxes in con- valsions, the actors choking with laughter. and poor Ned, casting look, a strange blending of drunkenness, grief and lxughter at the scene fied hastily out of the the ure, closely followed by tho leader with the wreck of his fiddle, porforming various cut and thrust motions in the air.

Before you bow to a lady in the street, permit her to de- cide whether you may do so or not, by at least a look of recognition. J mpanion bows to a lady, ame. When @ gentleman your company, always bow you = bows to a lady i to him in return.

Ladies complain t geatiemen pass them by in the streets unnoticed, when, in fast, the fault 3 from their own breach of iteness It is their duty to do the amiable first, for it is a privilege which ladies enjoy of choosing their own associates or acquaintances. No gentle- man likes to risk the being cut in the streets by a lady through a ae salute. Too many ladies, it would seem, ‘‘dun’t know their trale’’ of politeness. Meeting ladies in | the streets, whom one has ensually met in company, they seldom bow unless he bows first’ and when a gentleman never departs from the rule of good breeding, except occa- sionally, by way of experiment, his acquaint- ances do not multiply, but he stands probably | charged with rudeness The rule is plain. A | lady must be civil to a gentleman in whose j company she is casually brought; but a gen- tleman is not, upon this, to presume upon ac- | quaintaneeship the first tims he afterwards ! mects her in the street. If it be her will she gives some token of recognition, when the geu- tleman may bow: otherwise, he must pase on, and eunsider bimse: stranger.
