AARON BURR.-Randal in his Life of jefferson,
thus describes Burr:
Burr possessed much cunning and much penetra-
ton of particular kind but, like most wholly un-
principled men, he overrated the power of evil
He believed every man and woman had their easy
price. He therefore relied on personal appliances
and petty intrigue and inessing to obtain objects
wholly beyond the reach of such means. He baited
mousetraps expecting to catch elephants in them.
His lifelong history is exemplifcation of this
trait Of mind and it is life long roll Of failures
In every great crisis of his career find him with
intense cunning in his look and mystery in his rapid
movements, setting his little traps. But he was al
ways wise enough to be out generated when he came
in contact with wise man; he was always just art
full enough to beat himself Without any attempts
to be cunning, and by mere force of his abilities,
and straightforward life, he might have been far
more successful. He loved intrigue for its own
sake. There was fascination in it which blinded
was sanguine of success, where man of less astute
but without his taste for plotting, would have
foreseen the certainty Of defeat. 1t takes another
trait to complete the character Of rash and ready
conspirator. He proverbially insensble to dan
ger. He was willing to risk hise to carry out the
most paltry amour. He was willing to risk it
thousand times in any desperate effort for fortune
and power, rather than glide along smoothly in the
current Of common success. When We consider
his peculiar character, and weigh testimony addu-
esd ct his subsequent trial which was not impeact-
ed rendered the subject Of just suspicion.
little doubt seems to remain that he contemplated
. dsmembesment Of the Union ss q direct result Of
hid ENTERPRISE, or rather % contingent result
which was TO follow, II SUCCESS crowned the first
branch Of the undertaking.

Was Gen, Lee a Trnitorl

We gave an item from our exchanges
some little time since, in effect that
recent discoveries had been made,
clearly proving the perfdy of General
Lee, the accomplished .de-Camp
Of Gen. Washington. The statement
was published by us with some hesi-
tation, for we hoped it would prove to
be an error. Recently, however, from
an interview with a gentleman en-
ployed by Peter Cooper to collect
docunents and revolutionary relics for
his Institute, we learned that the re-
port Of Lees treachery was not only
true, but that documents had been
found and were now in Mr.. Cooper's
possession, which proved beyond a
doubt that he had the price fixed and
agreed upon for betraying Washing
ton and the army, and selling his
country to the British. These docu-
ments, he says, are iull and explicit,
and leave no room to doubt the ex-
tent or detestable character Of his
reasonable purpose.
History has been charitable to Gen.
Lee. 1t has generally rcpudiated the
suspicious OF his pertidy, and brushed
aside the evidence hitherto adduced,
us Of little weight or concern. If
therefore, such papers in evidence of
his treason, asare represented, really
have been found, with their authen-
ticity and genuineness substantiated,
d new character forces itself into the
history of our country--a chapter Of
intamy and disgrace-a companion to
the black record of Arnold's treason.
1t Is due to the country that fact SO
important be known. 1t is due to the
memory Of Lee that this reproach be
removed, if it is not just, and equally
due to his memory that the damned
spot be fixed eternally upon him, if
the contents Of these recently discov-
cred documents have been fairly set
forth Utica Herald.

particularly pleased with the ground

thought how easy it would be to turn.
lie believed that he could do it, and
our informant overlook him just in
time to hear the following soiiloquy,
and to witness the overturn.
Blowers, You can do it, and there's
no better place to try it than here"
Divesting himself of a coat and hat,
he took a short run ward-but alas
for human expectations Z! his hands
striking the ground, the hinge body
slowly ascended until attaining an at
titude Of iorty-fve degrees for an IN
slant it poised there, and fell heavily
back upon the ground.
As the Major gathered himself up
en- bis launches, supported with one
hand upon the ground, and with his
other rubbed his damaged body, sol,
emnly wagging his head, he mnttered
in broken accents: Blowers, my boy,
you can't do it--you cannot do it
you are not sufficiently experienced"

The Use of IL Telegraph.

The New York Tribune instances
case in Our history in which the tel
egraph wonld have been of great use:
On the 18th of June, 1912, our
Government declared war against
Great Britain, under the inspiration OF
our younger, more ardent, less expert.
enced Republican politicians Of that
day, overruling the judgment Of their
older compatriots, who had endured
and still remembered the trials and
sutieriugs of our Revolutionary strug-
gle, We had many causes Of com.
plant against Great Britain; but one
of the most priminent and palpable
was based on her Orders in Conncil,
by which our trade with the Continent
had been most outrageously ha:assed
and crippled. Those Orders In Conn.
Gil had been repealed before are de-
ctayed aCar, though the fact vas un.
known and unsuspected here. Had
it been known in olher words, had
the Atlantic Telegraph then existed
it is quite probable that war would
not have been declared, that further
negotiations would have been had aud
an amicable redress of grievances at,
tanned, saving to each country thou,
sands Of precious lives and hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Another chapter in the history Of
the war of 1879 affords All illustration
equally striking. The battle of New
Orleans was fought on the Sth Of Jan,
uary, yet articles Of peace had been
signed at Ghent on the oath Of Decem-
Der, fifteen days before. The news of
this peace did not reach here till the
18th of February, tortynine days after
it had been signed by the Commiss
toner's. If the oceanic and land tele.
graph had existed then, what a chain
Of events would have been broken.
