We shall be glad to insert any valuable communications, but it will be because of our judgment of their merits, and not that our correspondent promises to subscribe for the paper, or because his friends fight under our banner.—

"Friend Robinson: As some of my warmest friends in Ohio and Pa. fight in the same ranks for freedom and under the same flag with yourself, and as I anticipate to be a perpetual subscriber for your excellent paper, I hope you will let my friends hear from me through your paper, by copying the following."
