Gen. Robert R. Lee is the luhjeel of
the following paragraph from the Lex
ington (Ya.) corresjtoiuletiee of the N.
Y. IS me* :
I»w live* a peaceful, cheerful, unob
trusive lite among thee* mountain*. Lt-e
holds hiuiself utterly aloof from the die
notes and passion* vs
hero !a » proof: On Saturday he wins at’
Rockbridge Hatha. Stalwart an i erect
•a ever, white-haired and ruddy-hued,
his eve still bright and kindly, as of old,
he sat among llte ladies of theomsfhWor
hood, chatting as unv other man might
do: but with him. with his past and
juresent hanging about, it seemed like,
the dead past holding conversation with
the muses. Presently there was the
confusion of the nightly arrival from
Richmond, and one gentleman, being
acquainted with the General, greeted
him, and. after the common-places, ten
dered him the newspapers of the day.
••Thank you, 5 ’ said Le«, ‘‘but 1 never
read any of them.” Lee lives here com
fortably and calmly, with his family aud
many of his former frieuds around. His
son, Custis Lee, is a Professor in the
Institute here, and his former chief-of
statF, Geu. Pendleton, is the Episcopal
clergyman of the town.
AYe do not believe that General Lee
ever said any such thing, or, if he did,
the remark was not a general one, but
applied only to a particular class of
papers—those which indulge in immoral
jests, and deal in misrepresentation and
falsehood. lie is a man of too much
sense to make use ot such a stupid ex
pression ; and bns discrimination enough
surely, to distinguish between respecta
ble ami disreputable journals. Depend
upon it, if General Lee did such a
thing as the Times' correspondent at
tributes to him. he had reference solely
to the latter class of journals.
Patriotic Rbsolctioxs,—At a re
cent Poblic Meeting held in Perry,
Houston county, Ga., to ratify the pro
ceedings of the Philadelphia Conven
tion. the following patriotic resolutions
were adopted:
Resigned, 1. That v.e heartily endorse
the action taken by President Johnson
in the reconstruction ot the Southern
States, and his manly resistance to the
encroachments of the Radical party upon
our constitutional liberties.
Resolved, 2, That we approve of the
proceedings of the Philadelphia Con
vention, as having been the first step to
organize and unite onr disuoruaat
country. • » -■■•«•>
Resolved, 3. That the soldiers of the
Federal army, who were in convention
assembled at Cleveland, Ohjq, ,I'pr the
purpose of furthering the objects of the
Philadelphia Convention, have our
hearty endorsement; lor, as we have
not lost all our chivalry at the South,
w hen thelionr of •rial comes, to save a
common Union, they will not find us
wanting.
Dr. Owens, of Macon, also made a
few patriotic remarks, in which he said :
“We think we have lost everything. Not
so. We have not lost our manhood.
We roust go to work—cultivate our
fields, build up our enterprise, and again
become what we once were.” This is
the true jioiicy. Wo roust “go to
work.”
AoRICXI.TCR.iL Societie s.—The
Waynesboro' (Ga.) Times, in ailudiug
to the organization of an Agricultural
Society in Richmond county, says :
“The action of the planters of Rich
mond coonty should be imitated by the
planters of Burke. Upon the success
and prosperity of our agricultural inter
est depends our hopes for the future.
Now is the time to perfect our organiza
tions and plans for another year, so that
we may have better success than we have
had daring the year past.
“W# should be glad to see agricultu*
ral societies formed in every county in
the State. If the public press will turn
their attention to this subject, the people
can soon be awakened to tne importance
of this matter.”
Stir vour people up, brother Times,on
this subject. It is very important.
Tins NoBTHKRif Kuecfiov.—The re
turns from the Northern elections indi
cate the success of the Radicals. The
first returns may be modified, but there
is little reason to hope that they will be
to any extent.
Nkws from Awroad. —In Augusta,
the other day, several negroes were
attacked with colic from eating un
cooked bread. A Yankee sympathizer,
whose brother keeps a doggery ixr the
neighborhood, circulated the report that
the negroes had been poisoneo by Con
federate bakers, and the only safety for
the blacks .was to buy their bread at his
brother's. The excitement among the
negroes was intense for awhile, but
when they came to reason the matter
over, the more intelligent noon con
vinced the others that the sympathizer
was merely a “bummer" in his brother s
interest. —Mobile Taper.

pETBOLROM *>ll PHII.AMSI.CIIf a.
For the year ending on the 22d ultimo,
says the Philadelphia LetLjtr, over forty
two million gallons of petroleum were
exported from the United Sla.es, while
the export of that article for the preced
ing year wJi? a liftlu over one-third as
much. To show the importance of this
trade to Philadelphia, adds the Ledger,
we uiay state that up to the Ist of the
present month, sixteen ships, eevenly
six barks, thirty-three brigs, and three
schooners, laden entirely with the tsla-'
pie of Pennsylvania, have cleared for
foreign countries from this port, malting
u total of one hundred and thirty two
vessels iu eight months.
The Pkesidk-st and the Amk.vm

Gere RAT. llardke. —This distinguislr
ed gentleman, formerly of the United
States army, and who acquired great re
nown in the Confederate service, passed
through, with his lady, on last Saturday.
No General in the service was freer from
the clap-trap aind humbuggery that is
ever seeking for notoriety and applause,
than General Hardee. By nature,
modest and retiring, his military, literary,
and scientific acquirements are of the
highest grade. From Shiloh to Chatta
nooga and the surrender, he participated
m all the great battles of the “Army of
Tennessee.” He is the kind of man to
be relied on, and will honorably abide
by the terms of his parole. Such mon
as Hardee ate not thefomentersof stri.'e
and faction. — Cairo Democrat, Xe.pl.

Tits President a sit tuk Civil, Rights
Bill.—ln a speech delivered in Cincin
nati, a few. days ago. Senator Sherman
n*s«Hpl that **Hh<‘ Civil Rights RBI is
kloWj* dead letter,"and, inferentiallv.
f that*Wio Prendetit refuses to enforce
tiro l«w." 1 am uuthoriked to sawHiat
in no instance has the President refused,
directly or.indirectly, to eoiurca tiu* law.
In his message vetoing the second
Freeduten's Bureau Bill, oil tho ibth of
July last, and after the passage of the
Civil Rights Bill, the President uses
this language: “As another reason
against the necessity ot the legislation
contemplated by this measure, reference
may be had to the 'Civil Rights Bill,'
now a law of the land, uml which will
he faithfully executed so long as it shall
remain unrepealed, and may not be de
clared unconstitutional by courts of
competent jurisdiction.”
In the saute message, referring to the
Civil Rights Bill, Mr. Johnson suys : “I
need not state that the law did net re
ceive my approval, yet its remedies are
far more preferable than those proposed
in tho present Bill, the one being civil
and the other military.” Since the date
Os that message, and up to this time, the
President has never said or done aught
that could be construed into an unwil
lingness to carry out the provisions of
the law, so far as he has had anything
to do with it, however remotely. So
that the assertion of Senator Sherman is
without foundation in fact. Mr. John
son, though opposed to the law on prin
ciple, will promptly execute its provis
ions, as stated in his above
quoted.
Day ok Thanksgiving. —Washington
dispatches say the President has issued
a proclamation, ordering that Thursday,
November 29th, be observed through
out the country as a Day of Thanks
giving und Prayer to Almighty Gocl,
who has been pleased to vouchsafe to
uff, as a people, another year of that
national life which is an indispensable
consideration . of peace, security, aud
progress.' That year has, moreover,
been crowned with many peculiar bless
ings : The civil war. that so recently
•closed among us, has not been any
where re-opened : foreign intervention
has ceased to excite alarm Or apprehen
sion ; intrusive pestilence has been be
nignly mitigated ; domestic tranquility
has improved ; sentiments of concilia
tion have, largely winded, and afl'ce
tious of loyalty and patriotism have
been wide'y renewed. Our fields have
vSelded quite abundantly; our mining
iiterest has been richly rewarded, and
we have been allowed to extend our
ri it road system far into the interior
recesses of the country, while our com
merce has resumed its customary action
in foreign seas. These great national
Idessings demand a national acknowl
edgment. He recommends, also, on
this saute solemn occasion, the people
do humbly and devoutly implore God to
*our national councils, and to
our whole people, that Divine wisdom
which alone can lead any tiatiou into
the ways of all good.
Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts,
a Gifsky.—The New Orleans Picayune
says : A correspondent sends us the
flitllowing. litis accounts for the Ish
maelitish conduct of Wilsou :
Messrs. Editors: You stated in your
paper a short time ’since that Henry
Wilson's (Massachusetts Senate) name
was originally Col bat It, and that ho had
It»s name chauged from Colbnth to what
it is now—such is the fact, and tho
change was made by a t net of the Le
gislature of Massachusetts. Colbalh
was the name of a family of Gipsies
whose wanderingsyvas mostly in New
Hampshire, of which family he was one.
Whether he wandered from this State
alone, or whether the family, in their
vagrancy, got into Massachusetts and
there dropped the Henry, I know not.
Suffice it to say, he got there, and such
was his origin, ami when lie one day
scw himsdf griwing great, he thought
it best to hide his origin by shuffling off
his Gipsey name. But the man did not
thus change his nature. Ilis vagrancy
bis not left him. He has belonged to
every party that has existed—he has
been Whig, Democrat, anti-Mason,
Know-Nothing, National Republican,
Black Republican, etc. The political
compass litis too few points for hitn, and
now I see he attends a Fenian meeting
in the very grove where Garrison and
others hold their orgies, in which they
condemned the Constitution of the Uni
ted States as a convent with hell, etc.,
aud some or one of these same meet
ings, this son of a Gipsey attended and
addressed. He lias always showed him
self ready to be or do anything for party
or selfish purposes or euds. His love of
country is a sham, his zeal is kept alive
by the louves and fishes; stop them and
he will go back to his original obscurity,
and the laid wid then be rid of one of
ih; worst ei emies nn ! agitators.
An Am to.. . ... iv al ERi .vLI. —The local
of the P tersbtt’g Express is responsible
for the following: A young Fitly, says
that paper, residing in South Ward,
having been unexpectedly invited to a
soiree, and not having at her command
a wuterfall of sufficient dimensions, hit
upon the following rich id" l *,: Sho sud
denly improvised an appendage,-by en
veloping u young kitten in such hair us
she could raise at the moment, and
marched off with the little feline pendant
from the back of her head. Arriving at
her destination, tho dance commenced,
and the perpetual motion of the fair
young Tcrpsicborean, soon jostled tho
youthful Tabby from its snug hiding
place. Jo break the force of the full,
little kitty fastened its claws in the back
of the lady, which caused her to scream
with pain. Consternation ensued, the
fiddlers stopped, and so did the hall.
The laoerated cirl quickly explained all,
a soothing halm was applied to the
scratches, and the dance proceeded as if
null 1 ig had happened.
Eulogy on Engineers.
‘.‘Brick Pomeroy," of-the La Crosse
Democrat, thus dtscoutatth concoriuag
the railroad engineer;
" The engineer stands at lys post, h!s

see tliut all ore right—his hand*holding
on the iron bat which stops, starts, and

the highest touch of genius aud skill. lu,

the clock on the engine—at the steam

lever; we run faster or slower, as lie
wills; and the train stops at station

swings it back, and into the red-hot,
roaring, suffocating, livid, pent-up edi
tiou of Hades the fuel is tossed, and

creases, and the stenm is made by whose
power we rush ahead. We love the en
gineer—the “monarch of the footboard.’
His hands are hard, his pants soiled,
his face moist with sweat; but it is his
care which bears thousands in safety,
and his skill which makes us feel as sale
on the “cow-catcher l as iu our own
sanctum.
“God bless and preserve the engineer 1
On all pages of history there are no
braver records than those made by
railroad engineers. We once heard the
whistle of an engineer at Des Jardiu’s
Bridge, when, with his hand on the
screaming whistle, he sounded the
alarm, and whistled himself down sixty
feet into the murky waters, and into
heaven ; never deserting his post in the
plunge, which was fatal to sixty-three
out of eighty-one souls. He was found
at the bottom of the river, his hand
firmly holding the lever—his compress
ed lips telling the noble story of his
death I We have heard him time and
again ; we have stood by him on the
engine in the hour of sudden danger,
and seen how a brave man would act
when death reached out his bony hand
us we whirled past the door of eternity,
so widely opened that we eOuld almost
hear the voices of those within. We
have seen engineers in danger scores
of times, but we never yet saw one de
sert his post. To the nobie ones who
hove died in their duty and their glory
—to each of these we sound our whistle
three times, for ‘AH hail! thou noble
man 1’ ”
Lightning, as a Photographer,—»
An old English journal records the fol
lowing singular occurrence which hap
pened iu England, nyar Manchester?.
“Three lads, caught in a thunder storm,
sought the shelter of a tree, with large
overspreading branches. They had no,
long been under their shelter before i
vivid flash of lightning illuminated th
atmosphere, stunning all of them by tit
force ot its shock. The electric t'ui
seemed to circle around the tree in <
curiously serpentine fashion, and upo
examining one of the lads it was foun j
that upon his left side was imprinte •
with photographic accuracy, the perfe. >
image of a tree, with its fibres, leavi I

How They Buhled Long Ago.— l .
the old time, when the people of Em; I
land were very rude, and our ancestoi i
there nearly savage, lliey did not burl
the dead us they do UO)v, iu coffins, bi
in rough chambers of stone, covered ove.)
with earth. Or they burned them, am;
put their ashes in coarse earthen jar'!
All. over England there are conic-i.I
heaps of earth, generally called barrows’
In Latin they were called tumuli; an ?
we find many in our Westeru State!
which we call “mounds.” In the
lish barrows there is generally a rougi|
Stone chamber or little house, iu whicli
the skeleton of the dead is found. It i;{
often set upright, but frequently extendi
ed at length.
Business Cards on Envelopes.—-i
The Postmaster General has reqbntl/
issued instructions making provision foe
the printing of business cards on envel
opes in any desired form or design, with
requests to return letters, provided that
not less than five hundred envelopes are
ordered. The persons wanting them
furnish tho cuts or plates prepared for
the press from which to have printing
done. Postmasters are to receive the
orders on the usual terms, the cost being
about the value of the plain envelopes,
with the addition of the amount of the
required stamp.
* Manuring Trees.—Now is a good
time to put some manure around your
fruit trees. Tho fall and early spring
rains will carry the soluble elements into
the soil, and cause them to start with
fresh vigor in early spring and summer.
Apple trees will send out their roots a
distance for food. We recently cut off
roots a distance of forty feet from an
apple tree. Thus a single tree may ex
tend its roots across the diameter of u
circle two hundred and fifty feet in cir
cumference. Wo are inclined to the
belief that manure should not be placed
close to the triniks of the trees, but at a
distance of a few foot from them.
