Lee, in which the character of our great chieftain, os well as the spirit which animated our people, arc dis cussed with a fairness that must great ly mitigate the prejudice which the Exeter Hall School of politiciansahrood and at home,' have aroused against nai The writer rebukes with calm hut with ering severity die temper of the public papers and utterances of the victors in the fratricidal strife, in which it has been'popular to brand Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis aa mea worthy .to be ranked with Arnold and Burr. He refers to the “ unseemly and unnecessary” device, of placing the names of the dead officers of the Union army on marble tablets in the Chapel at West Point, where in the language of the Board of Visitors, “ the recre ants who fought to destroy their gov ernment” have no place. He also introduces, with telling force, an extract from Badeau’s His tory of Gen. Grant, in which the rea son which led 202 of the old army of ficers to espouse the Southern Cause is justly stated to have keen that they held ** the authority of a State para mount to that of the Union.” The declaration of Mr. Anthony Trollope, an English writer of strong Northern proclivities daring the war, is introduced, to show the reconstruc tion policy which “ subjects the late Southern Slave-owner to dominion from the .African who was yesterday his slave,” is the “ most terrible condition ever imposed upon a fallen people.”— The Italian has been made to feel an Austrian over him; the Pole to feel a Russian over him, but the crowning political animosity has been illustrated by the Republican from the North— who himself rejects all contract with the negro—but makes him the arbiter of the destiny of the conquered. Words of fire like these come with withering force from the impartial stand-point of British criticism, and coupled with a fair statement of the animating cause of the struggle, and a fair review of the character of our leaders, will make for the South a re cord in history which, from the ashes of her desolation, she may contemplate with pride. We have not space to follow the re viewer through his admirable stretch of Lee’s personal character, and mili tary career, in which the marvels he accomplished with his ragged and half- fed veterans are truthfully delineated. I n conclusion he says: The fame and character of General lx* will hereafter be regarded in Eu ro]* and in America under a-dual ns- jk-cL In Europe, wi shall consider him merely as a soldier ; audit is more than probable that within the present century we shall have accustomed our* sc] ves to regard him as third upon the li«t oi English-speaking generals, and as having been surpassed in soldierly opacity hy Marlborough and Welling ton alone. In America, when the |Ms.«iuns<ef the great Civil War shall hare died out, Lee will be regarded more ha a mat than as a soldier.

Here, for instance, a let ter lies before us, in which a gentleman in a Southern State tells us quietly that in I860 he was worth, in real and per sonal property, between $100,000 and $125,000, upon which he paid an an nual taxation of $125. Now, his negroes, stock and fencing gone, and his land reduced by the dis orders of labor add the times to a mere fraction of its value twelve years ago, he has to pay taxesto the amount of $600! Can simple fact speak more eloquently thto that? His estate is reduced to less than one-fourth its former value, and his taxes nearly quintupled in their gross sura, while, relatively to his es tate, they are twenty times ns great as they were!

The same claims had paid their stockholders $20,000,- 000 in dividends, and assessed tliem $7,235,000-during the same interval. The market value of the claims at the time the table was compiled was $10,- 858,000, shotting that they had re turned their owners about twenty per cent. per annum on their investments. The London Mining Journal gives the names of twenty-five claims on the Pacific coast which are owned and op erated by English companies. Seven of these claims are in California, eight in Nevada, four in Utah and six in Colorado. The nominal capital of these claims is $25,000,000. The Sil ver Star of Nevada, included in the list, with a capital of $7,500,000, is evidently an error, and probably refers is still in New York, starting at every shadow, and hiding from The Herald Max amoxg the Outlaws.—One of the raciest inci dents of the Bohemianisn of the New York press, is the visit of Henderson, a Herald reporter, to the Lowrey gang of outlaws in North Carolina. He spent several days wit!, them; and was at one time reported to have been shot, but the latest is that he made his escape in safety. The Wilmington Journal, of Satur day, says: The wife of Heniy Lowrey, the out law chief, was at Moss Neck depot yes terday as the train passed that point, whither she came for the purpose of delivering a dispatch from Henderson, to lie sent North from this city. She states that the correspondent was at Lowrey’s cabin, near Moss Neck, on Friday evening about six o’clock, when Tem Lowrey, Stephen Lowrey and Andrew Strong suddenly entered it and roughly told him to get up and go with them. He told them that he was ready, hut fast ssbl pswubsbb to send off a dispatch to his paper, which was ac- corued him, when he wrote the dispatch and gave it to the Lowrey female, who, as we have seen, fulfilled her promise to deliver it to the conductor of the train. Henderson;then accompanied the outlaws, .bound for the recesses of the Scuffletown swamp. ' It was reported here yesterday, the report coming from Shoe Heel, that Henderson had been killed by the out laws, but the report is generally dis credited. - ' quoting with ’ him some time, try ing to mducehim to come over and testify beftneitoh some very impor tant matters to the State and him-* self. The Committee proposed to allow him to come under fifty 9f truce, not,to moles^ him i tv coming nnd going; this Jie refused. The Committee then prtiposjri to him to go to Newberry, vehpf&jie is, and Hike bis U-jptpq also refused, saying That-' come here .and testify; provided Governor Smith would send him an assurance, under the groat seal of the State, that be should not be arrested.until his pardon by Conley was finally il.-cided by the courts. This, of course, the Governor had no authority to do, which ends the mutter of Blodgett’s testifying.— He feels safe in South Carolina, as King Scott assured him that under no circumstances would he sign a requisition for his arrest from Gov. Smith. Scott, doubtless, has a fel low-feeling for Blodgett Bullock Liberal Railroad Policy. The Reading Railroad Company in Pennsylvania offer to guarantee fifty per cent of the bonds of comparies or ganized at suitable locations in the coal regions of the Schuylkill Vailey, for the establishment of iron works. The same general oiler extends to other in dustrial enterprises established on a large scale, the object beiog to create n greater market for coal, and increase the value of their 85,000 acres of coal lands, os well as to increase the busi- ness of their railroad. The policy of tiie Beading Railroad might be wisely adopted by railroads in other sections, penetrating coal and iron beds. Such local traffic Is for more valuable than the through business which almost all riur old railroad companies have spent ao much in reaching out to secure, and which new combinations may at any timotakeaway. ‘‘ • ' *- ■ '.utt rd—fe j Splehdid Bequests.—Mr. B.

Allowing for the error, the nominal capital invested is reduced to $18,000,000, one-fourth of which has probably been pud up in cash by the owners. Several mines nut included in the table referred to have been sold to English companies during the past year, as follows: Silver Cloud, Utah, $351,000; Independence, California, $200,000; North America (drift grav el claim), California, with a capital of $400,000, $50,000 of which is for working purposes; Dundcrberg, CalL fornia, $150,000; FeTguson, Califor nia, $100,000; Schenectady and other chums, Arizona, $100,000.

The Directors of this company have determined to locate the road on the Harmony Grove line, and the proper means will be employed at once to de finitely fix and mark this route.

Applications for office still continue to pour in upon Gov. Smith. I be lieve there are nine Judges and Solicitors General to appoint, and I am informed that there are eighty- three applicants for Judges’ places, and ninety one for Solicitors Gen-* cral. I learn that no application has been received from the Macon circuit What is the matter with the lawyers of your circuit? Do none of them want office? Perhaps it is just as well for them that they have not applied. I learn that Gov. Smith has come to the conclusion that the terms of the four years judges do not expire until January, 1873, and that con sequently he has ho power of ap pointment, but that it will devolve upon the Governor to be elected next fall. This position is correct, in my opinion. If Bullock bad not fled, we certainly would have insisted that be had no right to ap point judges after his administra tion had been condemned by the people. If the precedent is now set for an out-going Governor to appoint the judicial officers of the State, you will readily see that no newly elected Governor, fresh from the people, will ever have the power to appoint the civil rulers of the peoDle. Then it is said, also, that if the term of the four year judges expires in July, does not the term of the Governor himself expire also? Bullock was elfected for four years, and three judges were appointed tor four years. Are the four years of the Governor longer than the four years of the judges? * I learn that the Bond Commit tee has made some very strange discoveries in relation to the passage and signing of the second State aid bill to the Brunswick and Albany Railroad bill. The bill was passed on the 7tb of September, 1870, and approved on the 17th of October, 1870, nearly forty' days ufjer its passage. The friends of the bill say that was occasioned by a joint resolution requiring the presiding officers of the two bousesi to withhold all State-aid bills from the Governor dntil all bad been acted on by the Legislature. This resolution was approved October 17th, 1872—the same day of the approval of the bill. It appears from the journals that the chairman of the Enrolling Committee reported on the ISth October that the bill had been en- rolled and was then ready for the signatures of.foe , presiding officers of foe House ana Senate. This was two days after it had beeq ap proved by Bullock. It further ap pears from foe same journal that oh foe 2ofo pf October Bullock sent a message to tbe House inform ing them that be had approved that identical bill. ( Yet the original bill qow on file in the office of the Sec retary of State shows, in Bullock’s own bandwriting, that heapproved it on October 17th. This bill gave that road $1,880,000 of foe gold bonds of the State besides the $15- 000 per mile in the first aot grant ing State aid. Two' days after he sent his message to the House in forming them that lie bail approved thfo bill.
