was Gen. Lee a Traitor ?

We gave On item from our exchanges some
little time since, in effect that recent discoFe-
ries had been made, clearly proving the per-
fdy of Gen. Lee, the accomplished Aid-de-
Camp of Gen. Washington The statement
was published by us with some hesitation,
for we hoped it would prove to be an error
Recently, however, from an interview with a
gentleman employed by Peter Cooper to col
lcct documents and revolutionary relics for
his Institute, we learned that the report of
Lees treachery was not only true, but that
documents had been found and wone now in
Mr.. Gosper's possession which proved beyond
a doubt that he had the price fixed and agreed
upon for betraying Washington and the army,
and selling his country to the British These
documents, he says, are full and explicit, and
leave no room to doubt the extent or detesta-
BILE charactcr of his reasonable purpose. 5sa
History has been charitable to Gen. Lee
1t has generally repudiatedttae suspicious of
his perfidy, and brushed aside the evidence
hitherto. adduced as of little weight or, com
Germ. If, therefore. such papers in evidence
of his treason, as are represented, really have
been found, with their authenticity and gem
uiacness5 su~bstantiated, n new chapter forces
itself into the history of ourcountry-a chap
ter of infamy and disgraee-a companion to
the black record of Arnold's7 treason. 1t is
due to the country that a fact SO importantbe
known. 1t is due to the memory of Lee, that
this reproaeh be removed, if it is not just, and
equally due to his memory that the damned
spot be fixed e~ternally upon him, ifithescon-
tents of those recently discovered documents
have been fairly set fSrth.-[Utica Herabd.o

Congress and the Administration.

The New York Journal of Commerce,
an independent and influential journal,
says few cases have arisen. under any
Administration, demanding a higher or
der of executive talent, or a more com
prohensFre craftsmanship than have been
demanded by the extraordinary con-
currsnee of events affecting our coun
try's interest and honor during the last
few months. 1t is fortunate for the
country and especially fortunate for the
cause of republican government, that we
have in the executive chair; at the heads
of departments and in Congress, men
eqnal to the emergency, and tha. from
all the confusion aud threatened danger,
the government will emerge with honor
and with renewed claim to confidence
and respees.

jail on Wednesday night, 18th inst. Among
them was II. Barnes, who was pardoned out
of the Penitentiary last August, by Governor
Chase. Barnes is one Of the greatest scoun

How Governor Chase was bamboozled into
pardoning such a man is past comprehension.
These prisoners sawed off the bars of the win

but the Sheriff was too humane to chain them
to the floor, and they are gone. Barnes is
about 25 years old; about five feet six inches

The Sheriff offers a reward of one hundred
dollars for the arrest Of Barnes, and fifty dol
