OnraiN op "Uncxk Tom's Cabin;"— The New York correspondent of the Era, after saying thai "Uncle Tom" is again in all quarters of the city, continues:—" The origin of that "work is not generally known. About ten or a dozen years ago, Mr Bailey, who is the editor of.the National Era, a, weekly journal ot politics and literature,.published in Washington, wrote a letter to Mrs StoWe, of which the following is a eot>y:— * My dear Mrs Sfcowe,--1 enclose a 100 dollar bill. Please send me a story. Anything you please.' Mrs ;Stowe,, beyond a small circle, was was then unknown to the fliteraiy world-.' She accepted the offer that was made to her r and wrote the following letter to her brother:—'Mjr dear brother Henry,—Lookout fon fthe? nexfc numbers of the National Era. I shall have a little story in them.—s Yours, H ahri ett. 'This was originally intended to occupy about a dozen columns of the paper, and to be concluded in three or four weeks. It was called 'Uncle Tom's Cabin ; or, Life among the Lowly;■Tho subject, however, grew as it was produced, and the characters expanded. From week to week the story was continued: the interest in it increased; the public became absorbed -"political thunder'wasv provoked ; sectional jealousies aroused ; sides were taken ; and hot-rind fierce'debate was the result. Thus began and continued the famous novel of * Uncle Tom's Cabin.'" ~ -.■ , v . ; .-r., t , ; ■■.■ ~,,., '

Frightful.-Sgbse.l-JDuring-. the engagement at Memphis, the Confederate steamer Lqvell svas struck by a Federal ram. Down, down, down—she settled like a lump of* lead. Her crew -became; teriorstricken. They rushed hither and" thither^ bereft of reason. One poor fellow, withi his left arm torn by a cannon shot, with tinspeakable horror in" his countenance, was seen beckoning now to.tliose on shore and to those on the gun boats, antl now looking up to heaven to:the ipreatiPather of us%ll^foThelp"if'^Un-" availiug the cry.
