quietly resided for many years in the States.
General Sheridan was, at the date of the last
advices, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, with Colo-
nels Crosby, Forsyth, and other members of his personal
staff. He was to proceed to Washington on the 20th inst.,
there to complete his reports and to appear before the seve-
ral committees of Congress, by whom he has bee: sub-

South-west till the Ist January.
The Hon. Andrew H. Green has declined all in-
vitations to become a candidate for the position of Mayor
of New York.
Mrs. Sumner has returned to America, after her
brief absence in Europe. Great men often find it more
difficult to rule their wives than to rule a nation, and ono
of the bores of being a great man is, that when a little
domestic difficulty arises it is very apt to find its way into
the papers. It is a happy thing fur society at Washingion
that this reconciliation has been effected before the
meeting of Congress, as it re-opens one of the most hos-
pitable houses in that city.
Israel Washburne, jun., formerly a Representa-
tive, and also a Governor of Maine, but now Collector of
Portland, has been writing in favour of the establishment
of equal suffrage throughout the Union.
A fund is being raised for the family of the late
Governor Andrew, in Boston, which is sure to be $50,000,
and may reach $lOO,OOO. Governor Andrew was a heavy
loser in his public capacity, as the time was taken from Lis
professional avocations, and his family have in consequence
been left though not destitute, still not well off. It is a
noble gift, which will reflect honour on the modern Athens.
Prince Salm-Sahn, with the other Austrian pri-
soners of war in Mexico, have been liberated.
The Legislature of Vermont, in joint assembly,

dent, and what ho was to say on his return home, that "he
should say nothing ; I want nothing said."
The President has informed the friends of Fitz
John Porter that he was not disposed to do anything, un-
less it was recommended by General Grant.
Chief Justice Bigelow has determined to resign
his post and retire into private life. He has accepted in his
retirement the management of the Massachusetts Hospital
Life Insurance Company of Boston, said to be the most
splendid sinecure in the Republic. This determination
is greatly regretted. It is thought Justice Hoar will re-
ceive the nomination, but some think that Judge Curtis

may get it.

Charleston has eloped with a negro.
Three hundred blacks have arrived at Savannah

on the resources of the State.

that she is about to marry an English lord.

manded Hunnicutt for the incendiary course he is pur-

as palpable violations of the laws of the State. On the
15th inst., Lewis Lindsay, a coloured member of the Con-

Republicans for Mayor of New York city, but some ac-
cuse the Tribune of supporting him, with a view to draw-
ing votes from Hoffman in Fernando Wood's favour.
Dr. W. J. Kuox, of San Jose, California, has, by
his death, left a vacancy in the State Senate. if the Demo-
crats can return one of their party this will give them au
opportunity of increasing their strength in the State Legis-
lature.

instructions to stop all liquor seizures, under the prohibit-
ing liquor laws of the State, which will be repealed as soon

General Schofield is acting vigorously. Besides
arresting the black incendiaries he suppressed two prize
fights, arranged to come off at Fort Albany, Virginia,
early on the 12th inst. A body of troops marched to the
spot, surrounded the crowd, arrested and locked up eighty,
who were discharged, with the assurance that it would be
a druM-head affair if again caught. It is thus that the
United States authorities deal with law-breakers.

The following is from the Springfield Republican,
and as we believe there is somo cause for dissatisfaction
we will send the paragraph marked to the person chiefly
concerned ; and if wo receive no answer, comment more
fully upon it in our next issue :—" The total value of the
property of the late Artemus Ward will fall inside of
$16,000. It was generally supposed that it would amount
to some $40,000 or $50,000, and many friends of the
deceased are not satisfied with the way in which his affairs
were managed after his death."

General Santa Anna, on his arrival at Havannah
was immediately involved in a suit for debt.

General Ord has imprisoned the editor of the
Vicksburg Times for indulging in a little abuse of that
military dictator in its columns.

The third annual meeting of the " Army of the
Tennessee" was held in St. Louis on the 13th inst. This
society is mad 3 up of men who served as officers in the

United States. Among its prominent members are Gene-
rals Grant, Sherman, 'Toward, Mower, Rawlings, Thomas,
and Rosecrans.

Mr. Ashley intends to revenge his defeat in Ohio
by introducing a bill into Congress to re-district the State.
Colonel James Belger has been reinstated in the
United States army by proclamation of the President.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
in his conversation with Senator Wade, alludes to a re-
mark that "there was no coolness between him and Chief
Justice Chase." The story of the alleged coolness is given
by the New York Nation. Mr. Wade was requested by Mr.
Chase, in 1860, to sound the House and Senate to see what
his (Mr. Chase's) chances of the nomination at Chicago
were. Mr. Wade kindly did so, and found that there was
only one man in the Senate and only a few in the House
who wanted Mr. Chase for President, and he accordingly
sent word to the latter, in his own simple language,
"that the thing looked a little blue." The accuracy of
this report was shortly afterwards tested by "Dick Par-
sons," who arrived, and in his turn " did a little prospect-
ing." Mr. Chase, then, when the convention was abcut
to meet, asked Mr. Wade to resign in his favour, but Mr.
Wade very properly declined to resign before anybody
had nominated him. The result of this was that Mr.
Chase got it into his head that Mr. Wade wanted to de-
feat him and prevent his nomination, but nothing can be
more unfounded. Consequently, if any enemies of free
Government have been building any hopes on the prospect
of arraying these two eminent men against each other in
a Presidential canvass they are doomed to bitter dis-
appointment .

The ,va;les and Florence Observer remarks—" The
American Consul at Rome has established a celebrity for
himself very much to the chagrin of his fellow citizens
lie accompanied the Zouaves in one of their attacks as au

amateur to witness a real battle, but he became so ena-
moured of the cause that he seized the weapon of one of the
dead and did active duty in his place. It is not denied—
indeed it is boasted of as true. This places consular duties
in a new light, duties which have hitherto been deemed
civil and neutral."

the bill."
