Lexington, July i- 18G6. A visit to Lexington, pleasant on many accounts, is peculiarly so by reason of the fact that you hear on all sides incidents, anecdotes and personal recollections of the two great men whose names are so dear to the South. Every one loves to talk about Lee, and every one has something new to tell about JacksoD. 1 know not when, in all Never before had I heard or read s ; lively or graphic a description of the comf ; plete physical, mental and moral nature o ; the man, and I am quite sure that, if thiaoral ; sketch could be put in print just as it came i from Colonel Massie's lips, it would, be far I more entertaining than anything wmcb has I yet been published. It is surprising what a I number of characteristic incidents are re membered by almost ererY person you meet, , and this fact alone is enough to prove that Jackson must have been no ordiuary man. Perhaps at some future time I may give your readers an outline of what has been told me about “the Major.” With regard to General Lee, *he following questions und answers will afford you some idea of his way of life, and of the esteem in which he is held by all classes: “Do the college boys like him ?” “Like him 1 They lore him.” “Well, does he like his position as Presi dent, or does he merely put up with it in view of something better ?” “Undoubtedly he likes it. When the place was first offered him, by letter, he de clined it; but after Judge Brockenbrougb had visited him and explained to him fully the views and wishes of the faculty, he ac cepted, and accepted in good faith, being ! try.” “Since he came be has been pleased, 1 suppose ?” “How could it be otherwise ? Everybody is delighted with him, as he must know whenever he looks in the face of student, cadet or citizen; besides, he is conscious that he is doing good.” “He lives comfortably ?” “Quite so. He has a comfortable house, well furnished ; and while his salary is not large, his every want is supplied, and often times anticipated.” “How do you mean ?" “Why, every stage that enters the village brings him a parcel or box, sent by express, and these boxes and parcels contain almost every imaginable thing, from books and pic tures down to clothing and provisions.” “From where?” “From every quarter of the globe, you may say, but chiefly from Baltimore.” “Are the donors known ?” “Not always; indeed I do not think they j generally are, but when known, the gilt is The other day ach ' hail!,' 1 :. iW Editor! vulus! ben o.l; • cuts pur liuf, insertion Ali t;-3 u'lvnnuo. r Ailvortisenu-nta must be pai<l in j The Tn-WeeWy News anil Herald ter Advertisements inserted as special notices wilt ‘in rv I thirty per cent, advance on table rates.

Sometimes his patience is tried by persons requesting him to sit tor his picture or bust, and on one occasion he was heard to declare that he bad rather stand the fire of half a dozen of the best marksmen in the Army of Northern Virginia, than be vexed by the continued so licitations of artists, photographers and the like. He was particularly worried a lew weeks ago by au old lady from the South, who Insisted on having a lock or even ‘three threads’ of his hair, which she had promised faithfully to carry back to a young female friend in Alabama or Georgia." “How did he manage to get rid of her?” ‘After considering the difficulty, he per- ided the old lady to pill up with a pbo- , tograph in place of the lock of hair. She ' was by no means satisfied, but the General was firm. He is also annoyed by letters on all sorts of subjects.

Mr. John M. ljottn* Fourth or July Speech In Baltimore. He opened by expressing his gratitude that he was at home among loyal men—among the great unconditional Union party. Under the flag now there such a speech us he was going to make could not have been made six years ago—it would have been inadmissable. The flag was the property of loyal men, and in this celebration none others have the right or the disposition to join ns. He doubted whether the flag was floating anywhere south of the Potomac, except where there was mil itary force. The matter of secession is at au end, so far as mere physical force is con cerned, but the spirit is not at an end. He did not believe that there was any wish for restoration at the South. He would be glad indeed if he could summou from the South such a wish. Those who said they were for restoration did not tell the truth. The feel ing in the Southern country, among leading men, is more intensely bitter against the government than at any time during the war. They have not the power to take up arms, but the will was there. If they had the con trolling power they would uot allow a Union man to live in a Southern State. He spoke in reference to the feeling in his own State, and gave the editors of newspapers in Vir ginia a passing notice. The Virginians who followed the fortunes of the State were de nounced as traitors, and compared to horse thieves and pirates, who were not worthy of protection. He was not bound to defend a traitor. After referring to “taxation without representation,” he said that the representa tives of the South abandoned their positions when they should have held fast. To the question, propounded by himself, what ought now to be done ? he answered, the first duty was to have every prominent rebel in the South arrested. He would have done it, and would have had them tried by a military court and condemned to death. If Mr. Johnson (meaning the President) had done this, and afterwards interposed his par don, he would not complain. But he himself would uot have given any mercy, but would have made an example for all future (hne. The speaker thought AD. Johnson believes honestly and acts from a feeling of benevo lence in the exercise of the pardoning power. He (Mr. Botts) had sacrificed more than any man in the United States, because of the po (From the Jacksonville Union.] ,Steamer Stlvas Shore,! June 21, 1866. i Messrs.

The tremendous' conflict ot arms terminated iu overwhelming victory by the United States ; the Confederate flag Went down, and the old flag oi the Union became throughout the republic the symbol of its sovereignly. In conformity with the Presideni-s Amuesty Proclamation the great ho.dy of the Southern people, myself in chided, took the prescribe^ oath to support the -Constitution of the United States, by which act we were restored to the rights of citizens, We did uot love our conquerors; we felt towards them much as a defeated political party regards its Uinmphant oppo nent. With this difference, however, the South had no disposition to renew the con test. The Confederacy uttery destroyed, the Government of the Union exteuded over us, and baying taking a solemn oath to support it, the national sentiment of the South is Union, and nothing else. This correspon dent subscribing himself “Union” might, with the same propriety, persist in calling a naturalized British born subject a royalist after he had become a citizen of the United Stales. Claiming to be as loyal to the Union as any other man, when an adventurer comes here to reconstruct me, and when 1 decline to be reconstructed according to his scheme of armed resistance to the laws of my State, and to the lawful authority of the President of the United States, to be called, for doing so, a rebel by him and his confederates, will very naturally disturb my somewhat excita ble temperment. 1 feel indignant at the wanton insult, and I show it. The affair with the officer of the revenue cutter, refered to by “ Union ” resulted wholly from the impertinent dictatorial bear ing of that officer. I came into port as do other boats, without ray colors hoisted, not from hostility to the flag or government, hut be cause it is not customary at every lauding on a packet route to run up tlie flag. So far from the revenue officer threatening to throw sitiou he took, believing, as he did, that - me overboard, he received my opinion of treason should be regarded as a crime and j him for his upstart pretensions In very plain made odious, but after a time uo steps were I words, and lie submitted to it. Knowing "• .. .. ■ that the Fernandina reconstructionists have about as much respect tor the United States flag as the devil has for the Decalogue, 1 stuck up the “twenty-five cent flags” to bur lesque them, not it. The difficulty with Capt. Duryea, Deputy Collector and Inspector of* the port, grew ont of statements made to me of him by bis su perior officer. No injury was done to Capt. Duryea, and but for the reconstruct ionists, it would have ended where it begun. The case got into Court by no act of Capt. Dur- j-ea. He was called to give bis testimony, not a voluntary prosecuting witness, other introduced. The result was a taken to arrest disloyalty, and he then ceased in his action. Congress has made a great mistake. The Southern States are not out of the L T nion, and never could be. There wa3 no power to give the right of expatriation—men could go away, but there was no power anywhere to make or allow States to go out. He contended, how ever, that the people of the South had made themselves aliens by swearing allegiance to another de facto Government, and were now entitled to no privileges. A law of naturali zation was the only way in which they could again become citizens, with necessary condi tions attached. He contended that the pardons granted by j verdict of acquittal.

We have never heard of such a thing in this city as a United States money detective. Rut the evil has been endured already too long, and we must abate it our selves. It is necessary that we act in the matter at once, as there is unmistakable evi dence that the evil is daily on tlie increase— the volume of counterfeit money is being daily swelled. Not a day passes that new issues do not mnke their appearance. We saw on Saturday a large number of new coun terfeits of the twenty-five cent note—new of make and unlike any other hitherto circu lated here. There is no alternative but for our people to “shut down” upon this bogus currency. There will be some loss, but the first loss is in this case the be9t. Let us now and hereafter refuse to take any note which is not absolutely free from suspicion. In cases of doubt let the professional broker decide. Nail the bad notes to the counter, and let them rot there. Our people are not idiots, or children or savages, to be fooled with useless pieces of paper. Let us put a stop to it at once ; this (lay. By longer de lay we are enriching Heaven knows how many scoundrels in Boston and other Nor thern cities, and impoverishing ourselves. We have spoken particularly of the state of currency iu this city, because we know the tacts as tuey exist here ; we have no j doubt that every portion of the South is 1 equally flooded with bogus money of North-! era manufacture, aud the people everywhere would do wisely to follow the advice given. We are sorry fur whatever loss may fall upou our iodigent white people, but at the same lime believe that it will lie small. The ‘ largest holders of this bogus currency, aud those who will be the heaviest losers by the , refusal ol the community to touch it any longer, will be the negroes. The negro has gained his freedom, and this is his first en- i il desired, when the premium amounts to counter in the open field with the Northern white mau. If he would live he must grow smarter, for there is many a New England dodge and trick with which he is yet to be made acquainted. It is hardly necessary for us to add that all of the counterfeit moncy in circulation in the South is manufactured i in the North by Northern men. Its circula- lion would not have been tolerated a day in ! the North, and we are stultifying aud cheat- { ing ourselves to suffer it longer here.
