One of the Belgium newspapers pub\nlishes three columns to show that \u0022society \u0022.\nand liberty in Belgium are perfectly able to\nsave themselves. There are many people, both\nin England and France, who believe that Eng\nland would not do anything but protest were\nthe Emperor to M save society \u0022 in Belgium by\nannexing that country, and that the assent of\nCount Vox Bismark, of Prussia, to such a plan\nhas been secured beforehand.

The prisoner wait ,\nattended by A. Judson Crane and Samnel T. \u0027\nI May ley, Esq*., as counsel.\nMr. Weith suited that on the night of the\nrobbery he had retired to bed, having first J\nlocked his door, when some one entered bin .\nroom. About 2 o\u0027clock A. M. he was awakened\nby the cold air blowing\u0027 through his window,\nwhich he then noticed was hoisted. He then \\\nexamined his clothing, and found that his\npockets had been robbed of between seven and\neight hundred dollars in bank notes and a\nvery fine double-case gold watch and chain. ,\nHe at once repaired to the police station and\nlodged information of the robbery. On Mon- j\nday he put the brokers on the look-out, and as !\nthe notes were of denominations on banks in .\nI Louisiana and Alabama, which could be easily\nj identified, he furnished a-.description of\nthem. It was his custom to take a list of his\nnotes every night. The next morning, on go- t\n: ing to the banking-house of Messrs. William i\nB. Isaacs \u0026 Co., Mr. Taylor was in the act of\nI examining some Louisiana notes ottered for ,\nt sale by the prisoner, which, on being shown to ,\nhim, he identified one of the notes as one that ,\nhad been stolen from him. The prisoner was ,\ndetained while he could go for an officer. He ,\nafterwards left the house, and was pursued -\ndown Main street to Seventeenth, with great \\\ncries of \u0022catch the thief\u0022; and as he was\ncrossing the canal bridge he was stopped by\ntwo men and taken into custody.\nMr. Taylor testified that on Tuesday morn- j\ning, on his arrival at his place of business, (\n(Messrs. Isaacs \u0026 Co.\u0027s,) he heard of the rob- .\nbery of Mr. Weith. Soon after this, the pri- j\nsoner came in and offered for sale some money\nof a description like that lost by Mr. Weith.\u2014 (\nWhile examining them, Mr. Weith came in, ,\nand he quietly handed him the notes, one of\nwhich he readily identified.* As soon as Mr. .\nWeith satisfied \u0022himself that the money was i\nhis, he went in search of an officer, and while\nhe was absent, Knuckles, the accused, seemed .\nvery impatient, repeatedly telling witness to\nhurry up, as he wanted to go away. Witness ,\ndelayed him for some moments, keeping his\neye upon him. The prisoner finally started to- ,\nwards the door, when he met Mr. Weith, and \u0027.\nthe two exchanged a few words, after which j\nthe prisoner started to run, and was followed\ndown the street by Mr. Weith.\nDr. Shepherd, of the firm of Shepherd \u0026\n; Cohen, was notified of the robbery on Tues- j\ni day morning ; and shortly afterwards, while ,\n; sitting in his office, he heard the cry of \u0022 stop\nj thief,\u0022\u0027 and going to the door, saw the accused\n\u0027 pursued b\u00bb- Weith, and he was afterwards ar\nrested. When Mr. Weith reported the robbery\niat his office, he described as among the notes\nj one very similar to that which was afterwards j\nj offered for sale at the bauking-houseof Messrs. j\nIsaacs \u0026 Co., and which Mr. Weith claimed as\nhis own. j\nA witness testified that he sold to Mr. Weith ,\n| the five-dollar note which was here identified. !\nIHe had no doubt .that the note here exhibited \\\\\n! was the same one\u0022.\nThe testimony lor tin* Commonwealth hay- j\n! ing been concluded, Mr. Crane, for the de- j ,\nI fence, said that he did not propose to deny j\ni that the money offered for sale by Knuckles at j\nthe banking-house of Isaacs \u0026. Co. was the i\nproperty of Mr. Weith : but he had testimony j ,\nto offer in regard to the manner in which it j\ncame into his possession, and also as to his\u0027 \u25a0\nwhereabouts on the night of the robbery. The\n| following testimony was then given for the\nI defence : {\nMrs. Goodwin, a female of large proper- |\ntions, stated that she kept a bar-room in Ba\nkers alley, and that Knuckles boarded with -\nj her. On the night when the robbery, was\nI committed she could swear that he was in the ,\nI house all night.; that he went to bed about!\u0027\nI half-past eight o\u0027clock, and did not get up\nI until after 9 o\u0027clock the next morning. He\ncould not have passed out of the house with\nout waking her up, nor could he have gone\n! out the rear way, on account of a terrible dog,\n! which it would have been dangerous to en\ncounter.\nJames Smith, a youth, testified that, on\nMonday morning, about 9 o\u0027clock, he was in . .\nFerguson\u0027s barber shop, when Knuckles came j ,\nin. Knew him slightly and spoke to him.\nShortly afterwards, while Knuckles was get- i\nting his hair dressed, a stranger came in and\natked Knuckles if he could take some State;\nmoney and have it changed for him. With i j\nthis money was a five-dollar note. Knuckles\nlook the money, saying he would try and sell j\nit for him. The man who came in with the 1 \u25a0\nmoney passed out of the shop. They did not I\nseem to be well acquainted with eacs\u003Eother. ,\nArthur W. Ferguson, a young man of mixed ;\nblood, son of Ferguson the barber, and em- i,\nployed in the shop, testified to nearly the same j\nfacts as Smith. While he was engaged in j\nshaving Knuckles, a man, whose name he did j\nnot know, came in, and accosting Knuckles fa- i\nmiliarly as \u0022 Pres, \u0022 asked him if he could not |\nsell some money for him. Knuckles did not j\nseem to recognize him, but afterwards en- j\ntered into conversation with him, and took\nthe money to sell. Witness farther stated\nthat the man who brought in the money had\nbeen in his shop two or three times since. He\nthought he was engaged in some sort of busi\nness here, but could not tell his name.\nThis closed the evidence for the defence, and\nthe Mayor then asked the prisoner\u0027s counsel if\nthey had any remarks to make. They replied\nthat they were willing to rest the case upon\nthe evidence, and had no argument to otter j\nhere.\nThe Mayor decided to remand the accused\nfor further examination before the Hustings |\nCourt, in January next, on a charge of felony. I\nMr. Crane then made an appeal to his Honor !\nto bail the prisoner. He knew it was not a i\nbailable case, but he made the application on\nthe score of humanity, as the father of the\nprisoner was then lying at the point of death.\nThe Mayor, on this ground solely, admitted\nKnuckles to bail in the sum of five hundred\ndollars for his appearance, which he readily\ngave, and left the court-room in company with\nhis friends. The witnesses were also recog\nnized to appear.\nAs Interesting Sunday School Mektixo.\u2014\nOne of the most delightful hours of the Christ\nmas to us was that spent on Monday at the\nanniversary meeting of the Leigh Street Bap\ntist Sunday School.

We have now one hundred and\nj twenty policemen armed.and for duty. Major\n| Claiborne, the efficient chief, with the confi\ndence and respect he enjoys from the citizens,\nI needs only the support and co-operation of the\nI authorities to bring our city back to its former\npeace and quiet.\nA Complicated Case.\u2014Judge McEntee, in\nthe Provost Court, was engaged nearly the\nwhole of yesterday in the investigation of a\ncharge against seven negroes of stealing two\nhorses from Mr. James Lyons on the 7th of\nDecember. The case was not disposed of, btit\nwill be resumed to-day. It was necessary to\ninflict an amount of corporeal punishment\nupon one of the number, George Tripp, a peni\ntentiary convict, to extort the truth from him.\nAnother of the party, named Hiram Harris,\ncame to Judge McEntee\u0027s office on Tuesday\nand gave himself up, voluntarily stating that\nhe received the horses from Tripp, took them\nto Petersburg and offered them for sale. The\ncase is one which presents many difficulties,\nyet it is believed that the whole seven were in\nsome way connected with the theft.\nThe weather yesterday was rainy, disa\ngreeable and unseasonable. The occasional\nshowers reminded one strongly of an April\nday, while the atmosphere was less like De\ncember than any previous period of the\nseason. Overcoats were really burdensome\nto their wearers, but necessary to be worn\non account of the rain.\nLABCKKr.\u2014Two negroes, named Eliza Jen\nkins and Mary Johnson, were arrested Tues\nday night by Constable Cole, of Henrico, for\nstealing a pocket-book containing twenty\nseven dollars, a white dress valued at ten\ndollars, and one gold locket, from Johnson\nSands. They were committed to jail to be ex\namined to-day before Justice Wade.\nAssault tpoh a Maoistratb.\u2014John Lump\nkin and Thomas Shepherd were arrested yes\nterday by Constable Cole, of Henrico county,\nfor making an assault upon S. D. Waldrop,\nEs*q., one of the county justices, while in the\ndischarge of his duty. They were admitted\nto bail for their appearance before Justice\nWilliam E. Wade this morning at 11 o\u0027clock\nfor examination.\nA free fight, between two freedmen, took\nplace yesterday near the corner of Franklin\nand Governor streets. They made quite a\nshow of valor, but neither of the two received\nmuch personal damage. The belligerent de\nmonstration afforded a good deal of amuse\nment to the bystanders during the brief pe\nriod of its continuance..\nFiohtino.\u2014 A scrimmage took place yester\nday in an auction store between Moses E.\nDavis and B.

The rising, whirling and eddying wa\nters cause a great disturbance of the ordinary\npursuits of life, and drive people to desperate\nexertions to save themselves and their effects\nfrom being swallowed np. In like manner a\ncommunity struggles to sustain themselves in\nthe midst of high prices\u2014to keep their heads\nabove the high-water rates which have inva\nded and are rapidly submerging everything\nabout them. They retreat from point to point,\nparting with their movables for safety, until,\nunincumbered and homeless, they take refuge\nin the tree-tops and await the falling of the\nwaters!\nThe contemplation of that condition of\nthings, in which all the necessaries of life are\nhigh, and rents stiU higher, while occupation\nis limited and vast numbers of people are with\nout anything to do, is painfnl enough ; to be\none of those, laboring under its effects, qufte\ninsupportable. This is the condition of this\ncity at the present time. The high water pre\nvails, and people are sorely troubled to escape\nit. Rents are beyond all precedent; even un\nder the Confederacy they did not reach the\npresent climax until 1564, we believe. Land\nlords could not keep pace with the depreciating\nConfederate and it was only in the lat\nter part of the struggle that they elevated\nthemselves to the extreme indicated by the\nrapidly falling financial thermometer of Mr.\nMbbbixoer. But having gotten at last to\nthis elevation, they seem to be entirely unable\nto come down ; they are like the saitor at the\ntop of the mast\u2014they cannot safely look down,\nbut keep their eyes towards the horizon across\nthe waste of waters.\nRents are from three to five times the rea\nsonable rates which could be sustained by the\nbusiness of this city. Immediately after the\nsurrender of the city, speculators and adven\nturers flocked thither under the impression\nthat there was a field for fortunes here with\nout precedent. Business stores were scarce,\nand the demand for them became so great,\nlandlords found that any price they would ask\nwas Teadily paid. Indeed, they often regretted,\nafter renting at enormous prices, that they\nhad not asked more, since others had possibly\nobtained higher prices. The adventurers\nbrought large stocks of goods and exposed\nthem to sale to a community little better than\none of paupers. People beheld the display\nwho had no money to buy. But for the pre\nsence of the army, with its disbursements,\nand the sale of a little tobacco that had been\nsaved, the new-comers* would have sold no\ngoods and taken in no money. The result\nwas that some failed and others left with\ntheir goods in disgust, while few that were\nthe first in the field have remained to endure\ntheir disappointment.\nUnfortunately for that commercial commu\nnity which has taken more the appearance of\npermanent residents, rates are but slightly di\nminished. They have to bear up under the\nextravagant rents which the adventurers es\ntablished. Not only are they oppressed with\nthe rents in the business part of the city, but\nprivate dwellings are no less expensive. Fami\nlies are compelled, to some extent, still to pur\nsue the economy of sub-renting and room\nkeeping, which was introduced under the refti\ngeeing and scarcity of the Confederate times.\nBoard is also dear in proportion to rent, and\nbusiness and enterprise of all sorts are bur\nthened and straitened in a manner highly in\njurious to trade, as It most be, under the re\naction which will come, to landlords also.\nWe know too much of the history of high\nprices and financial troubles to expect an\neasy solution of those we now complain of.\nThe remedy must come in due time. The\nlandlord is seldom disposed to reduce the rent\nto a tenant that is in his house. A failure and a\nchange of tenants\u2014the old one going out and\nthe new one coming in, with the advantage of\nthe reduction as a condition precedent to his\noccupation\u2014is the only mode in which the\nchange can be well established. But that the\nreduction must come is certain. The business\nof this city, nor any city that we know of,\nsave, perhaps, New York, can justify such\nrents. If it does not at this time justify it, can\nwe be encouraged by contemplating the fu\nture ? Certainly not. There is no tobacco\nmade this year in Virginia, and we have abso\nlutely not a single staple article in sufficient\nabundance for exportation, and cannot have\nuntil the ensuing wheat crop, the character of\nwhich no man can foretell. What are to be\nour resources then in the interim ? None that\nwe know of, save the money that may flow in\nby the sale of lands to emigrants, speculators,\nand mining and manufacturing companies.\nThis would be immense, if the wealth of Vir- \u0027\nginia \\v\u003C fully understood among the men\nwho have money to invest. Whether fuUy\nappreciated or not, there wiU be a large in\ncoming revenue from this source, but not in\na current sufficiently rapid, nor yet so imme\ndiately concentrated in this city, as to au\nthorize or maintain the present high rates of\nrents and all the articles which support Ufe.\nThat there must be a great reduction, every\none must know, and the sooner we prepare for\nlow water the better.\nManifest Destiny\u2014A New Phase.\nSenator Wilson, of Massachusetts, tells the\nworld that the sons of the Pilgrims have never\nfailed in anything they undertook, since they\nfirst began to be known by that interesting de\nsignation ; and as they are just at this time\nengaged in a variety of enterprises, this an\nnunciation can be regarded as nothing less\nthan a warning to all the world a**d the rest\nof mankind not to offer an unavailing opposi\ntion. The great locomotive, New England, it\nseems, is on the railroad of Destiny, dragging\nalong the thirty-odd cars that pass for States ;\nand woe to him that doesiot clear the track\nas it comes thundering on i.i its irresistible ca\nreer.\nNow, we take issue with the Senator upon\nthe facta involved in his statement. We put\naside the well-known truth that New Eng\nland would have cut but a sorry figure in the re\nvolutionary war had she not received the as\nsistance of Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York,\nNew Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North\nCarolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; and\ncome to events under the Constitution\u2014that is,\nsince 1789. And here we take the \u00dcberty of say\nlag that, until the late war,\u2014which, it must\nto acknowledged, she contributed more than\nany other portion of the United State* to bring\nabout-she scarcely ever succeeded in anything.\nEven in that war, while her fanatical\nspirit animated the contest, her individual aid\nwas comparatively small. She seems to have\ndepended mors upon substitutes from foreign\nera and negroes than upon the valor of her\nown population, leaving to the Great West\nand to the Middle States the heat and burden\nof the day, while she contented herself with\nclaiming all the credit, after they had won the\naght. But before that time her success in\nthe Union had been absolutely nothing. She\nnominated, it la true, the second President;\nbut after one term he was overwhelmed as by\nan earthquake.

Many think\nsome of her sons actually committed treason.\nBut she could not- prevent the war from be\ning declared, nor had she any Influence in\nproducing the peace. She opposed the tariffs\nof ISI6 and 1834, but they passed, in spite of\nher, and in spite of the gigantic labors of\nDaxiki Wbrbtrr, the greatest man ever\nborn on her soil.

She succeed\ned in electing Job* Qtriscv Adams, but all her\nefforts could not prevent his utter overthrow\nfour years after his election. Indeed, the Sons\nof the Pilgrims, so far from succeeding in all\nthey undertake, failed in every undertaking\nfrom the adoption of the Constitution to the\nopening of those sectional disputes which\nbrought on the late*war. Even in these they\nwere foiled for a long time, and very notably\nIn the case of the Missouri restriction.!\nThe side to which Sew England belonged suc\nceeded in the late war.

Besides, Senator Wn-sojr should re\nflect that the end is not yet. In another year,\nif the New England party go on as they are\ngoing on now, they may be beaten at the polls,\nand expelled from power and plunder. Who\nknows ? .\nA Quiet Government.\nThe Washington Chronicle, remarking upon\nthe plan of creating a commission for the go\nvernment of Washington city and the District,\nand thus relieving her citizens of the trouble\nof voting and the cares of their own govern\nment, very complacently says:\n\u0022 There is a growing feeling among the members\nof Con\u00dfress in favor of such a city government as\nwill dispense with the present municipal organi\nzation, and, at the same time, with the machinery\nof voting. The plan is to create a commission, to\nconsist of citizens eminent for integrity, energy,\nintelligence and experience. We can almost ima\ngine the future of the District of Columbia and the\n; city of Washington with a government constituted\nof such citizens\u2014men who would not administer\nthe affairs either in a mercenary or in an extrava\ngant spirit.\u0022\nThis is, indeed, a happy prospective for a very\nmuch exercised community. The people of\nWashington would be delighted with it.\nGladly would they get rid of one hundred and\nfifty rulers, and submit to the authority of a\nfew citizens of M integrity, energy, intelli\ngence and experience!\u0022 Whether these vir\ntuous men would long remain so, time only\ncould answer. But the people would risk it,\nand throwing off the \u0022 machinery of voting\u0022\nand the dreaded hundred and fifty, betake\nthemselves to their own affairs in a quiet and\nsecure manner. They are in an excellent frame\nof mind to philosophize upon human govern\nment\u2014to contrast the evils of the \u0022 one man\npower\u0022 and the rule of many men. l|uite\nready are they, no doubt, to try government in\nthe retail way, having seen enough of its wholc\n\\ sale nature. Humanity in most phases is much\nmore tolerable in homoepathic* doses than in\ncopious draughts. We look forward anxiously\nto the future Washington\u2014where there will\nbe no vot\u0027uvj\u2014no electioneering\u2014no bad speeches\nof corrupt politicians (except in the capitol)\u2014\nand where the people will be quiet, orderly\nand well behaved\u2014free from agitation and so\nlicitation. They will enjoy the supreme feli\ncity that many a persecuted voter has sighed\nfor, from the bottom of his heart, viz. : tM\u003E\nwill have no vote to give !\nImmigration.\nIn order to facilitate immigration to Vir\nginia, practical means and agencies must be\nemployed, under the direction of the Legisla\nture and by associations organized -for that\npurpose. We have to encounter competition\nfor labor in both the North and West, espe\ncially the latter. These competitors have\nagents at New York and other seaports, who\nmeet the newly-arrived immigrant - upon the\nwharf, place him in comfortable quarters, of\nfer him a free ticket to his future home, and,\nby many other inducements, seek to secure a\nnew recruit in the ranks of Westera industry.\nWe should have our own agents on the ground\nwith like facilities of transportation, and with\ninstructions to furnish full intelligence to the\nnewly-arrived European of the superior at\ntractions, which Virginia offers in soil, climate,\nestablished society, nearness to market, and\nmanufacturing and commercial capabiUties.\nMeasures should be taken to provide a general\ndepot for then- here as soon as they arrive,\nwhere they may find food and lodging, and\nwhere they may communicate with those, who\nare engaged in the business of finding them\nhomes. The expenses which a system, ample\nand efficient in its provisions, might involve,\nshould be cheerfully borne by both the com\nmercial and agricultural community, for to the\nmerchant it brings customers, and to the\nfarmer an intelligent and reliable kind of la\nbor, increasing the value of his lands be\nyond calculation. We would suggest here\nthat it is, perhaps, not advisable to insist upon\nan engagement by the year with immigrants\nas a sine qua non. No such condition is made\nin contracts with Western emigrants.\nFew persons are aware of all that immigra\ntion has accomplished for the West, and, in\ndeed, for the United States in general. With\nout that fertilizing addition to our population,\nthe West would be now a wilderness, and the\nUnited States a fourth-rate power. This as\nsertion is not made at random. It has been\nshown in an able statistical treatise that the\ndifference in the population of the United\nStates produced by immigration is 12,432,150.\nIf immigration had been cut off in 1790 onr\npopulation would have been in 1850 what it\nwas in 1820. It has, in fact, placed the United\nStates thirty years forward in that essential\nelement of prosperity. Hitherto, owing to the\nignorance in Europe of the extraordinary re\nsources of the South and the system of slave\nlabor, this vast stream of immigration has\nonly scattered a few drops within our borders.\nCensus returns show that six out of seven em\nigrants from Europe have settled in the free\nStates.\n- Labor is now the vital demand of Virginia,\nand we hope that the Legislature, upon its\nagain assembling, will speedily organize mea\nsures to secure what is needed.\nA Jamestown Festival.\nWe never read the accounts of the annual\nfestivals of Plymonth Bock without wonder\ning that the people of Virginia had not, in like\nj manner, commemorated the virtues of the men\nwho first planted at Jamestown the banner\nof civilization on this continent. It is by such\ncommemorations, rather than by history or tra\ndition, that man keep alive, in all its freshness,\nthe spirit of a great ancestry, and not only\nrender just homage to their fame, but identify\nthe affections of the living with the glorious\ndead, and transmit their illustrious example\nfrom generation to generation*\nThe founders of the Virginia colony entitled\nthemselves to as distinguished honors at the\u0027\nhands of their posterity as any founders of em\npire in ancient or modern times.

Nearly all\nthe great nations of Europe made vari\nous attempts to plaht the germ of empire\nupon American soil. In addition to the re\npresentatives at Jamestown and Plymouth of\nthe Anglo-Saxon race, there were the Swedes,\nFrench, Spaniards, and those Dutch of New\nAmsterdam who, in the veracious and charm\ning chronicles of Dibdricb Knicrbrbocrer,\nare embalmed for immortality. The descend\nants of those last htill keep up, as well they\nmay, an annual festival in honor of the days\nof Peter Stctvesant, Worter Van Twillbh,\nand the broad-bottomed and many trowsered\nburghers who laid, with much deliberation\nand the patient industry of beavers, the foun\ndation of what is now the Empire City. But\nnone of all these European settlers of America\nhave a higher claim to the admiration and af\nfection of their descendants than the founders\nof the Virginia colony and the class of En\nglishmen which they chiefly represented.\nWith the royalist principles of the Cavaliers\nand their undying devotion to the house of\nSrr art, we may have no sympathies. We may\nwish that the objects of their loyalty had been\nworthy of such fidelity and attachment, and\nwe dare say that wish was no stranger to\ntheir own bysoms when James the Second\nsucceeded in alienating from himself the old\nest and best friends of his family. We have\nnothing to do with their politics, which were\nerrors of the head rather than the heart, but\nwe cannot consent that their intelligence, their\nfidelity to principle, and their social and house\nhold virtues, shall be thrown into the shade\nby the superior homage which is now paid to\nanother and more progressive portion of the\nBritish people. We believe that it will be\nfound upon examination that the Cavaliers\ncontributed as much to the literature, the phi\nlosophy, the eloquence, the statesmanship, the\nsoldiership, the intellect of England in every\ndepartment, as any other class of her people.\nNor were they the dissolute and reckless race\nj that it has been customary to represent them.\nhtACAVLAT. observes of the Puritans that it is\nunfair to judge them by the sanctimonious\nhypocrites and evil men who were found in\ntheir number, because power always attracts\nto its support adventurers and soldiers of for\ntune, who will embrace any cause and make\nany profession, political or religious, which\nwill \u2022 advance their personal success. We\nclaim that the Cavaliers shall be judged\nby a like charitable standard, and that the same\ninfluence of power, which they possessed\nso much longer than the Puritans, shall\nbe permitted to relieve them, also, from the\nI odium which has been brought upon them by\nthe licentious and unprincipled sycophants\nand retainers of rank and authority. What\never the revelry of the times and Court of\nChahles the Second, (and an era of more\nshameless dissipation in the immediate circle\nof the Court could not well be found,) the great\nbody of the country gentlemen throughout\nthe kingdom was a simple, virtuous, manly\nand noble race, pre-eminently distinguished by\nfrankness, honesty, truthfulness, hospitality\nand courage. There was as much purity, hap\npiness and religion in their households as in\nany other British houses, and the contribu\ntions of their divines to the cause of Christi\nanity- are among the most cherished books in\nall theological libraries ; reservoirs of thought\nand learning, from which generation after\ngeneration have drawn, and which will con\ntinue to supply the Christian world with ar\ngument and exhortation for ages to come.\nSuch was the character which was stamped\nupon the Virginia colony, and whose destinc\ntive features are yet visible in Virginia house\nholds. The country life and its home virtues,\nof the England of their day, was transferred to\na new continent. Of this race, Captain John-\nSmith was a noble type, and from it sprang the\ngreatest of mankind.GEO\u00dfO\u00df Washinotox, and\na long line of the most illustrious men of this\nhemisphere\u2014men who not only inherited the\nsocial and domestic virtues of their forefathers,\nbut who, with pen and sword, achieved the\nliberties of America, and whose sagacious\nstatesmanship, practical wisdom, and trium\nphant energy, advanced this country upon a\nmarch to prosperity and power unexampled\nin its rapidity and magnificence in the history\nof mankind.\n\u2022 If wo would keep more continually before\nus the memory of our forefathers, we should\nnot only do honor to them and ourselves, but\nfind an incentive to enterprise and hope in our\npresent condition.

There is no\nprospect of an armistice even, as far as we can\nsee, between the belligerent forces. One of the\nNew York journals claims, indeed, that the\nHerald has suffered-severe punishment, and is,\nfinancially, much damaged. From this ac\ncount, we should judge that the opposite party\nhad got Mr. Bennett\u0027s venerable head in\nchancery, and had considerably spoiled Its pro\nvervial beauty.

I shall\ncarry to the grave the most graceful recollec\ntions of your kind consideration, and your,\nname and fame will always be dear to me.\n\u0022Save in defence of my native State, I\nnever desire again to draw my sword. Be\npleased to accept my most earnest wishes for\nthe continuance of your., happiness and pros\nperity, and believe me most truly yonrs,\nR. E. Lee.\n\u0022 Lien tenant-General Winfiehl fkott, Com\nmanding United States Army.\u0022\nA copy of the preceding letter was enclosed\nin the following letter to a sister of the Gene\nral, Mrs. A. M. :\n\u0022 Arlington, Va., April 20, IS6I.\n\u0022 My Dear Sister,\u2014l am grieved at my ina\nbility to see you. * * * I have been wait\ning for \u0027 a more convenient season,\u0027 which has\nbrought to m.sny before me deep and lasting re\ngret Now we are in a state of war, which will\nyield to nothing. The whole South is in a state\nof revolution, into which Virginia, after along\nstruggle, has been drawn, and though I rccog\nnine no necessity for such a state of things, and j\nwould have forl\u003Eorne aud pleaded to the end j\nfor redress of grievances, real or supposed, yet j\nin my own person I had to meet the question ]\nwhether I would take part against my native j\nState. With all my devotion to the Union, and\nthe feeling of loyalty and duty of an American\ncitizen, I have not been able to make up my j\n! mind to raise my hand against my relatives,\nmy children, my home. I have, therefore, re\nsigned my commission in the army, and save j\nin defence of my native State, with a sincere |\nhope that my poor services may never be need- j\ned, 1 hope I \u0022may never be called on to draw my j\nsword.\n\u0022I know you will blame Bee, but you must\nthink of me as kindly as you can, and believe\nthat I have endeavored to do what I thought\nright. To show yon the feeling and .struggle!\nit has cost pie, I send a copy of my letter to\nGeneral Scott, which accompanied my re- j\nsignation.

Lee.\u0022\nDescription of Congress.\nBennett has no respect for the present Con\ngress. The last New York Herald says :\n\u0022Ordinary men, they come from their coun\ntry villages to the seat of government with\naM the passions, prejudices and narrow views j\nof local politicians. They are full of the ideas\nand feelings of the war after it is over and fast\nbecoming a matter of history. Events, with\nmighty strides, rush on like railroad cars, and\nleave them gazing in wonderment behind.\u2014\nThey are bewildered, and flounder about in\nuncertainty, first one way and then another,\nnot knowing rightly where they are. It is a\npity they cannot be sent back to their constitu\nencies to find out the change that has taken\nplace. A year or so, however, is not long in\nthe life of a nation, and the time will soon\ncome round when they will be taught an im\npressive lesson. In the meantime we do not\ndespair of the progress of the country ; for\nPresident Johnson has the wisdom, power and\nfirmness to carry us safely through, in spite of\nthe unrepresentative Congress with which he\nmay have to contend.\n_\nThe New Minister to Mexico.\u2014Hon. Lewis\nD. Campbell, who was a few days ago nomi\nnated to the Senate as Minister to Mexico, in\nplace of General Logan, who declined, was\nformerly a member of Congress from the Day\nton district in Ohio. The following is a brief\nsketch of his life:\n\u0022 He was born in Franklin, Warren county,\nOhio, August 9th, 1811. He was originally a\nprinter, and many years an associate editor of\nthe Cincinnati Gazette. Subsequently he\nstudied law, which profession he practiced\nuntil he was elected to Congress in IS4S. He\nserved in the House of Representatives from\nDecember, 1849, until March, 1857. In the\nmemorable session of 1835-*t?, when it took the\nHouse more than two months to elect a\nspeaker, Mr. Campbell was the caucus nomi\nnee of the Republican party, and received their\nvotes as long as there was any chance for his\nelection. They subsequently nominated and\nelected Mr. Banks under a \u0022plurality\u0022 rule,\nadopted for the occasion. In that Congress\nMr. Campbell was Chairman of the Commit\ntee of Ways and Means, and acquitted himself\nwith great credit. He is a man of considera\nble ability and of extensive experience in pub\nlic affairs. He is also a very brave and reso\nlute man. In politics, Mr. Campbell is a Re\npublican, but not of the ultra school, and in\nsocial life a very generous and estimable gen\ntleman.\u0022\nConfederates in Canada.\u2014A correspondent\nof the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing from To\nronto, Canada, gives the following information\nconcerning several Confederate officers:\n\u0022 I met here General John C. Breckinridge,\nGeneral McCausland, Colonel Harry Gilmore,\nMajor John Castleman, Captain Hinds, and\nothers who had been ollicers in the armies of\nthe Confederacy. General Breckinridge looks\nand is in perfect health. It was represented\nduring the war that his hair had turned\nfrom jet black to silvery white. That was a\nmistake. A few grey hairs are perceptible\nabout the locks, that is all. He is keeping\nhouse in a humble, retired way. He is much\nrespected by the citizens, and is invited to two\nor three parties a week, at Ahe residences of\nthe first families. He is a great walker, walk\ning from six to ten miles a day while the wea\nther permits such exercise. He is a hard stu\ndent, reading a great deal. All the gentlemen\nhere from the Confederate army conduct them\nselves with great propriety, and are treated\nwith respect and attention by the citizens.\u0027\u0027\n-\u2014en\u2014\nDeath or ar Old Citizen or Alabama.\u2014 We\nlearn from the Huntsvllle Advocate that Cap\ntain F. T. Mastin died at his residence, near\nthat place, on the 17th instant. Captain Mas\ntin was a native of Virginia, whence he re\nmoved to Huntsvllle in 1818. He was for\nmany years one of its leading merchants, and\nwas distinguished for his intelligence, enter\nprise and probity.\nAta meeting of the Presbytery of Cincinnati,\nheld December 23d, in the Second Presbyterian\nChurch, they solemnly suspended the Rev. M.\nL. P. Thompson from the Gospel Ministry,\nearnestly exhorting him to true and deep re\npentance and to fruits meet for the same. Ha\nwas charged with, and confessed, impurity of\nconduct and deception.\n\u003C Judge John A.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun\nrives the particular* as follows :\n* .. Chrlstmae day in Alexandria was spent in\n\u2022, very nolsv, and, in some respect*, riotous\nmanner. A disturbance, originating In the\nalleged defiant bearing of the negroes, a squad\nol whom, early in the day. paraded the streets\nW ith droves and anna, shouting and asserting\ntheir eooaMty with the whites, aroused the in\ndignation of one or two parties of young men\nof the town. A fight with the negroes was\nthe resattt One bar-room, frequented only by\ncolored people, was torn out by the whites,\nI and a pretty smart skirmish was fought, in\nwhich tire-arms were used on both sides, and\nsoot* \\ cry hard blows administered. Several\n\u00ab h \/ Unrsena were wounded by tire-arms and\nbeaten, and two negroes are reported killed.\nA very goodly nnmber on both sides have\nbruised face*, and bear other evidences of a\nreneral free tight.

Exaggerated reports have gone abroad\nhi regard to the matter, magnifying the ex\nit -in of the conflict and the number of persons\nkilled, but the mortality appears to have been\nconfined to the killing of one negro, and, per\nhaps, th\u0022 fatal wounding of another.\u0027\u0027 m\n1% ihrre any Prospect or a War with France?\nThis question may be bettor answered by W.\nH Sward Uian by any one else: and he does\nso, we tain it, in the following editorial article\nia the New York Time-it. That paper argues\nearnestly in declaring:\nNeither in the message of President John\nson, ia the diplomatic correspondence of Sec\nretary Seward, in the War and Navy Depart\nment reports, nor in any of the other official\ndocuments recently given to the country, do\nthey find the least encouragement given to any\none of their schemes, or the least prospect held\nout of their being treated with anything but\nreprobation. In treating of our controversies\nwith other Powers, the President was careful\nto adopt a tone at once vigorous and concilia\ntory. So far as was necessary, our relations\nwith other Powers were commented upon; but\nia regard to none of them was a word used in\ndicating that any of our controversies were of\nsuch a character as to require war or menace\nI for a solution. He appreciates too profoundly\nthe natural position, necessities and spirit, to\nspeak otherwise : and while the report of the\nSecretary of War shews the immense amount\nof military material we have on hand, and the\nfacility with which armies could be raised in\ncaseof emergency, it also shows what energe\ntic measures of a pacific character have been\ncarried eat.\u0022\nThe New York \/feast evidently regards the\nabove as Mr. Seward\u0027s views ; for it thus\n-;\u003E\u003C ,iUs of the Mexican question :\n-3lr. Seward may mean well in his Mexi\ncan diplomacy, but we cannot discharge our\nmind of the suspicion that he is preparing to\ncompromise American honor in that delicate\nnegotiation. We have an instinctive aversion\nto the arts of diplomatic intrigue ; and when\na Secretary of State shuttles and temporizes,\nwe instantly apprehend some concession dis\ncreditable to the dignity of the nation.\n\u0022We perform a friendly office for Mr. Se\nward when we admonish him that this people\nwill not be trifled with in the Mexican busi\nness. The Monroe doctrine is a sacred tradi\ntion of Amorican*history : and dear to the\nheart of the nation is \u0022the resolve that the\nAmerican continent shall be reserved as a\ntheatre for the development of republican in\nstitutions. If he would consult the security\nof his own position, and his reputation in his\ntory as an American statesman, he should at\nonce interpose with some practical exertion of\ndiplomacy to effect an abandonment of Mex\nico by the adventurers who have usurped pos\nsessioa and dominion of that splendid em\npire.\u0022\nWashington Item*.\nTHE WniTE HOUSE.\nIt being Cabinet day, visitors kept away\nfrom the Executive mansion.

We may regard the issue [between these\nmen and President Johnson] as fairly joined\nafter these announcements. Henceforth the\npolicy of conciliation towards the President\nby Mr. Greeley, and those whom he repre\nsents, means that conciliation wlfich shall\nconstrain the Pr\u00absident to abandon the bul\nwarks of the Constitution, for the defence of\nwhich he has arrayed himself; and it does not\nat all mean a conciliation which looks to any\nabatement of their demands.\u2014 Sun.\nRECONSTRUCTION.\nThe Provisional Governor of Florida will be\nordered to surrender his authority to the le\n\u0022ally constfta ted government of that State\nwhen the Legislature meets and acts, if not\nbefore.

From the tone of the\nleading men in both Houses just before the\nadjournment, there is reason to believe that\nthe Tennessee Senators and Representatives\nwill be admitted to seats before the Ist of\nFebruary, and there is good reason to believe\nthat most of the Representatives of the other\nSouthern States will be admitted within a\nvery short time. The opinion is gaining\nground that the credentials of the claimants\nfor seats from the Southern States should be\nreferred to the Committee on Elections, and\nthere disused of without the incumbrance\nand weight of the loads of reconstruction reso\nlutions offered, and stump-speaking boiled doum\nyet to bo pn edited by members of Congress.\u2014\nQn respondents Warn Turk Times.\nPROMOTIONS.\nGeneral T.

It surely is good news to us to hear that,\nso far from the cotton crop proving to be a fail\nure next year, the only danger against which\nit is thought necessary to warn the planters\nis an over-crop.\n\u0022The mania for greenbacks and the high\nprice that cotton has been lately bringing, we\nfear will induce the planters of the South to\nput too much land in cotton next year. The\nordinary calculations of prudence and sound\nreasoning should premonish them against such\na policy.\nWhy is it that cotton sells at such enormous\nprices as now ? Plainly because of its scarcity.\nAnd the price will inevitably decline as the\nproduction increases. Messrs. Neill, Brothers\n\u0026 Co,, of New Orleans, weU known for the ac\ncuracy of their statistics regarding cotton, es\ntimate tho present stock of cotton in the Uni\nted States, old and new crop, at something\nover two million bales. If this be true, which\nwe do not doubt, a large crop next year, say\nfour million bales, would unquestionably\nbring down the price to ante-war rates. On\nthe other hand, a crop of half that amount\nwould probably* not materially decrease the\nprice. Would it not, then, be better for the\npeople of the\u0027 Sou tit to raise only two million\nbales, which would bring them as much money\nin the markets of the world as four millions ?\nand, in doing this, plant largely in the cereals.\nWith half the.amount of land planted, half\nthe labor, half the yield, and a two-fold price,\nthey would have abundant supplies of food\n\u2022 grain crops, while with a full crop of cot \u2022\nthey would have short home supplies of\nfood and grain crops, and with a small price\nfor the cotton, its proceeds would be consumed\nin the purchase of necessary supplies. r:\nA Miraculous Escape\u2014Bishop Rosecran*\nShot at and Slightly Wounded.\u2014On Satur\nday evening last, Bishop Rosecrans (brother of\nGeneral Rosecrans) left the Cathedral about\n9 o\u0027clock for the purpose of going to his home,\nat the Catholic Seminary, near Sedamsville.\nHe had left orders with his servant to have\nhis carriage at the Cathedral at 10 o\u0027clock, but\nbeing ready to go home before that time, con\ncluded to walk. Just after having passed the\ntrack of the O. k M. railroad, on the Sedams\nville pike, he was accosted by two men, who\ndemanded his money. He made no reply, but\nhastened his pace into a run. One of the men\nthen drew a pistol and fired at him, the ball\ntaking effect in the left leg, just above the knee.\nEven this Mid not stop the Bishop, who suc\nceeded hi making good his escape. The wound,\nupon examination, proved to be merely one of\nthe flesh, and, although painful, is by no\nmeans serious. No clue has yet been obtained\nto the perpetrators of the outrage.\u2014Cincin\nnati Gazette.\nArrival op the Nkebv.\u2014Captaiu W.

Both men tusseled\nwith the utmost desperation, and at a moment\nwhen Mr. Smith, by a hercnlean effort, suc\nceeded in raising the ruffian from his feet, the\nlatter drew a revolver and discharged three\nbarrels of it at him in rapid succession, two\nbullets taking effect in. the body. Thus disa\nbled, Smith sank upon the floor, whilst his as\nsailant, with extraordinary agility, sprang\nout of the window, reached a piazza or shed,\nand then jumped a distance of some fifteen or\ntwenty feet, and escaped.

While thus engaged, Newton\ni Williams approached, and firing one barrel i\nj with fatal effect, into the breast of the father, !\nI turned and discharged the other through the\ni head of the prostrate and disabled son.

Some unknown per\nsons went to his house in the night, during his\nabsence, and set fire to his stable. It was soon\ndiscovered by the servants on the premises,\none of whom ran out in order to put out the\nfire and save the building. He was fired on,\nand deemed it prudent to return to his quar\nters. Another then went out, and he was also\nfired on by the depredators. Neither, however,\nsustained any injury, the balls having missed\nI their marks. It is surmised by the neighbors\n! that it was the intention of the desperadoes to\nkill Mr. Cloyd.

The\nfight commenced on the corner of Crawford\nand High streets, between a lot of white boys\nand the colored people. Stones, brick and\nmissiles darkened the air, and several persons\nwere seriously injured. After awhile, the row\nbecame general, and fire-arms were used\nfreely. A boy by the name of Richard Done\ngan was shot through the left breast with a\npistol ball, and a man named Duffy was shot\nin the arm.. Officer Harrison, of the police,\nwas hit with a brick, and a negro man, said to\nbe the ringleader in the riot on the part of the\ncolored people, was shot severely in several j\nplaoes. At last accounts there was no hope\nfor his recovery. The riot was suppressed by\nthe military and city police. A number of\ncolored men were arrested by the military\nfor persistently refusing to leave the street.\nIt was rumOred that several persons were\nkilled, but we could not trace further inform\nation than that given above, which can he\nrelied upon as correct.\u2014 St,rfolh Post.\nNiuht Police Assaulted by Neoroes.\u2014On\nSunday night, officers John Murphy, Baker\nWard and Thomas Smith were called up by T.\nIt.

Officer Smith entered the store and\ntook the man out, and just at the corner of\nUnion street he broke loose from officer Smith\nand took leg bail out Upper-Union street, the\nofficer after him. The negro jumped a fence,\nbut the officer kept on his trail. Officers\nWard and Murphy followed out Union street\nand cut through an alley to cut the man off\nfrom Hawk street.

A few weeks since a stage was stopped\nabout one mile from Virginia City, Nevada,\naccording to the old rules of the road. An\nobstruction was placed on the highway, and !\nas the stage came up, the postillion received\norders to \u0022halt.\u0022 He did so; a cocked mus-i\nket was pointed at his head; and others of the j\ngang made the passengers get out and stand in I\na row on the wayside. Men kept guard over\nthem with loaded pistols, while others re- i\nlieved them of watches, money and other va- :\nluables. The thieves got about fifteen thou- j\nsand dollars in cash, besides six gold watches j\nand several diamond jewels. A lady in the\ncoach was. not molested, for the leader of the j\ngang said he would \u0022 scorn to rob a woman.\u0022\nWells, Fargo \u0026 Co.\u0027s express was robbed ; the\nbullion was thrown away but the coin was !\nappropriated.\nAfter the.rascals had got all that was to be \u0027\u0027\u25a0\nhad, the stage was allowed to proceed on its j\njourney. One of the men robbed was a Bos\nton merchant, who was out in Nevada on\nbusiness. He will doubtless think it a rough j\ncountry. From various parts of the State,\ntoo, we hear stories of men being robbed by\nhighwaymen. In the southern portion of the\nState there have been gangs of these knights\nof the road roaming about, committing all\nsorts of depredations. They defy the anthori- 1\nties, for, mounted on good horses, that have\nbeen stolen, they can swoop down on the i\nhighways, do what they wish, and get back\nto their mountain retreats before the officers\ncan start after them. One of the most noto\nrious desperadoes that has been in this j\nState since the days of Joaquin\u2014his name was j\nHenry\u2014was recently killed in San Bernardino j\ncounty. He was a bloody monster, and had i\nmurdered a great many men in California. A\nsheriff\u0027s posse caught him by strategy, and\ndispatched him without any ceremony.\n\u2014\nA Si.vori.AK Divorce and Bioamy Case.\u2014A i\nsingular divorce and bigamy case has receutly i\noccurred in California. A man, named John\nB. Robinson, formerly a banker, had tried to\nget a divorce from his wife, Kate, in a San !\nFrancisco court. Not succeeding, he sent a\nwritten statement of his case to a Salt Lake\ncourt. Without hearing any evidence, with\nout any publication of the matter being had, j\nwithoutcither party to the suit being within \u0027\u2022\none thousand miles of Salt Lake at any time\nduring the pendency of the suit, the Probate\nOoart over there granted the divorce. Robin\nson married a woman named Laura Hatch, in\nthis place, when he got the divorce. His first\nwife was living at Georgetown, D. C, wheii\nthe second marriage took place. She went\noat there and had Robinson arrested for\nbigamy.\nAn examining magistrate dismissed thecom\nplaint on the ground that Robinson thought\nho was doing no wrong. Robinson, however, i\nis not yet clear of the meshes of the law.\u2014 j\nThe Grand Jury will have the matter before\nthem at their next sitting. If the courts sus\ntain a divorce granted in ibis manner, there!\nwill be nothing binding in the marriage rcla- i\ntion, and discontented husbands and wives can !\nget rid of each other without the least difi\nculty and at trifling expense. If tho laws of\nthe State in which they reside happen to be\ntoo stringent, they have only to write to Brig\nham Young\u0027s courts that they wish a divorce,\nand the divorce is forthcoming as soon as it I\ncan be transmitted. - j\nNew Oklean\u003C Looking Civ\u2014A New Orleans\nletter says ;\n\u0022Since I last saw it, in April last, the Crc\naoent City has prospered greatly.

Parsons, Provisional Go\nvernor of Alabama, one thousand dollars.\nJames Johnson, Provisional Governor of\nGeorgia, one thousand dollars.\u0022 And in re\nply to inquiry, whether any person was fill\ning office not authorized by law, says that,\nIn August last, an office was organised in the\nAdjutant-General\u0027s Bureau forthe collection,\nsafe-keeping and preservation of Confederate\narchives, and Dr. Francis Lieber was ap\npointed chief of that Bureau. The reason\nof this appointment was the necessity of\nhaving archives collected by a publicist of\nknown character and reputation, in order that\nthey might be available to good, without de\nlay . He has received the sum of two hundred\nand forty-one thousand seven hundred, and\neighty-four dollars, out of provost funda in\ncharge of Adjutant-General. It was his\nexpectation that if this appointment should\nbe considered one not authorized by any exist\ning law, its obvious necessity would be sanc\ntioned by Congress.

To ascertain the real origin of sudden\ndeaths, an experiment has been tried in Europe\nand reported to a scientific congress held at *\nStrasbourg. Sixty-six cases of sudden death\nwere made the subject of a thorough post mor- r\nttm. examination ; in these cjases only two were\nfound who had died from disease of the heart. 1\nNine out of sixty-six had died from apoplexy,\nwhile there were forty-six cases of congestion \u0027\nof the lungs\u2014that is, the lungs were so full of ]\nblood they could not work, there not being\nroom enough for a sufficient quantity of air to ,\nenter to support life. The causes that produce\ncongestion of the lungs are : cold feet, tight\nclothing, costive bowels, sitting still until\nchilled after being warmed with labor or a ra\npid walk, going too suddenly from a close,\nheated room into the cold air, especially after\nspeaking, and sudden depressing news ope\nrating on the blood. These causes of sudden\ndeath being known, an avoidance of them may\nserve to lengthen many valuable lives, which\nwould otherwise be lost under the verdict of\nheart complaint. That disease is supposed to\nbe inevitable and incurable ; hence many may\nnot take the pains they would to avoid sudden\ndeath if they knew it lay in their power.\nTrial of General Mercer for Shooting\nUnion Soldiers.\u2014The court martial t\u003Ef Briga\ndier-General Hugh W. Mercer, at Savannah,\nfor the alleged murder of seven Union sol\ndiers, which has been going on since the 16th\ninstant, seems to excite very little local inter\nest. It appears that the soldiers General Mer\ncer is charged with shooting were originally\nprisoners of war, taken from the Union forces.\nThey were released from the Southern pri\nsons upon condition of taking the oath of\nallegiance to the Confederacy and entering its\nmilitary service. There were three battalions\nof them, averaging ten companies each. One\nof the battalions was stationed at Savannah\nunder General Mercer. They were aU styled\n\u0022Foreign Battalions\u0022 by the official promul\ngations of the Confederate authorities. The\nseven members of the Savannah organization\nwere caught in the act of deserting back to the\nFederal side, and were shot while General\nMercer was in command of the post. Evi\ndence for the prosecution is difficult to secure,\nand the trial has been delayed. General Mer\ncer put in his parole by Sherman in defence,\nclaiming United States protection under the\nJohnston-Sherman agreement.\nSherman and Joe Johnston at the Gatoso.\u2014\nFor the first time since his deposition by Jeffer\nson Davis, Joseph E.
