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. That's news fronj abroad I 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.

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. ‘Loth. No Wonder I—A Boston paper re lutes that a clerk employed in a store in that city went to a physician for ac.viee shout a bad neck, and was informed by the doctor that the inflammation was due to the poisonous properties of the paper of which his collars were made.

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 eye closely sc Mining the rails ahead, to see tliut all ore right—his hand*holding on the iron bat which stops, starts, and regulates the rfonsterthat is obedient to the highest touch of genius aud skill. lu, the hollow of that man's hand—in the glance of his eye—ia the brain undor the cap pulled so closely dowu-—in the , perfection of his knowledge, and the careful scruuilw of bis mechanical eye — are the lives of mielt add wonnßi, whoso places on earth could not well be filled. See how steadily the train runs! If makes this milepost, and the next, and the next, oil time to a minute. The en gineer looks at the tracks—at the time table held -in a clfcmp before him—at the clock on the engine—at the steam guage at his left hand. He touches the lever; we run faster or slower, as lie wills; and the train stops at station after station to the second. The fire nlau opens the iron door by a chain, he swings it back, and into the red-hot, roaring, suffocating, livid, pent-up edi tiou of Hades the fuel is tossed, and •‘clank” goes the door as the heat in 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 und branches.”, ; 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.

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. —Cowdgimpes Ap.
