's One of the most painful disclosures made in 9 the search for historical materials of our Revo. s lutionary war; are the proofs brought to light of the treason of Gen. Lee, who was third in rank in the revolutionary army under Gen. Washing. ton He enjoyed through the war high repu. tation as a soldier, and though an Englishman, with some faults of temper and character, he was trusted and honored as true friend of the cause through the whole war, and at his death in Philadelphia, in l7S2, his obseques were ~ such as were paid only to patriots of the most distinguished name and merit.
 By recent investigations in the archives of the British government pertaining to our revo. lutionary period, traitorous correspondence was found between Gen Lee and Gen. Burgoyne aud other emissaries of King George, in which Lee proposes to betray the cause he was sup porting with apparent zeal to it's foes Among the documents brought to light is one endorsed MT. Lees Plan, Dec. 29, l779," in which he gives the outlines of scheme by which the re. belious provinces could be reduced, and, in his own words, "the last spark of war extinguished" ,aInfamy,. as black as that which surrounds the memory of Arnold, will hereafter attach to the name of Lee. e

GETTING RATHER ScARED.-The Baton
Rouge ADVOCATE seems to be terribly stirred
up at the acceptance Of Gen. WELLS of the
distinguished position rendered him by the
Opposition Convention in New Orleans
Judging from The slurs thrown upon the OPP
position ticket-the manner in which it was
made-the slimness of the Convention-the
nonparticipation of the country in the matter.
was enough for Democracy topass it by with
the most silent contempt. But it seems the
head Of the ticket has proven a thorn in the
side of the advocate and the editor thereof,
ranking with the pain, runs of to get a bal
SIN amongst the dry and musty records OF
some twenty years ago. The Journals Of
the House from 184l to 1915 have been c re-
fully overhauled to discover what Gen
WELLS, at that time, did, and didn't. and upon
the very slim material ;ound there, the I'D
"ocate man goes off into Mysteries of a column
and a half in length. To give our readers
the sum and substance of the ddvocate's dis
c~overies would be useless, for they could be
crammed into a mustard seed of the smallest
dimensions. We will not trouble our readers
by giving the particulars, for it is the small
estgsme we have ever seen attempted to be
brought down by one whom we have Seen
accustomed to think aimed higher.
This thing of raking up musty records OF
years gone by to show what some men d lid,
and how they voted is folly, Because time
changes men as we'll as principles. During
the Presidential canvass OF 1856, it was char
eed upon Mr.. BUCHANAN that in his youthful
days he had given utterance to strong Aboli-
ton sentiments, and TO the best of our re-
membrance, the charge was never successful
ly refuted. But the compassionate heart of
Democracy could overlook the cratic whims
of boyhood, and they were passed over with
the usual soft manner in which that gallant
party knows SO well how to do. Democracy
never wanted an excuse for anything. For
twisting and squirming out Of a d,sagreeable
position, it has never been excelled if equaled
It is a good deal like the Irishman's flea
" put your finger on 'em an he's not there"
Try and do a little better Mr.. .Advoca,e.-
If our ticket Is SO strong that it throws YOU
into c%onniptions, we can't help it. 1t was got
