General Lee. RsnIdencs. .

General Mcdowell has beautiful spot for
his head, quarters, the well known Arlington
House, and General Lees old servants seem
10 delight in caring for the new occupants of
the place. Lee was hard master, as many
a kind. hearted housewife in. Washington,
d. who has given his slaves something to eat on
Sundays, knows. He took with him all the
.smalt slaves, and left behind the old and in
firm and the very young. Yet every one of
these slaves is legally entitled to his freedom.
Mr.. Curtis, in his will, gave them all their
freedom, but gave TO Lee, his son In law,
certain temporary power over them. This
he has used very roughly, utterly refusing to
Z show the will to any Of the friends Of the
slaves, who were anxious 10 see that their
rights under Virginia law were secured to
them. rr. ,--rt.F qua % rfr.rr Dra
There is tooihIess old woman on the
place, who for ten years has been obliged TO
rise al daylight and knit till dark7-it is all
she can do-to secure to herself few Of the
comforts necessary to old age. Lee has been
in the habit of giving her weekly peck Of
tingTound corn and too salt behring's. These
facts were known 70 me before the present
troubles began. A slave girl of sixteen at.

of her mother. After the whipping, the girl

june, the NIon,h Of Bnttles.

June appears to be the favorite season of
the God of War, Many of the most cele-
brated battles of the worlds history have
been fought during its long days and hot
periods. Bunker Hill, the first pitched bat
tie of the American Revolution, was fought
on the 18th Of June, l775. Waterloo, the
great, engagement which terminated the
wars of Napoleon, was fought on the 10th of
June, 1916. Napoleon gained two of his
most decisive and famous victories on the
14th of June, viz; that of Marengo, over the
Ausirians, in 1900, and Friedland, over the
Russians, in 1907. The great battle Of, Sol
fertno, which finally crushed the power of
Austria in Italy, was fought by Louis Nspo-
leon and Francis Joseph on the Gath of June,
1859.
One of the most bloody and desperate
attacks made upon Sehsstopal was made by
the English and French on the Malakotf on
The 18Th of June, 1855, ia which they were
defeated with severe loss. The battle of
Monmouth, of the American Revolution,
distinguished by the bad conduct of General
Lee, who had command of q portion OF our
forces on that occasion, was fought on the
intensely hot day of June IS, l7T5. To
these, which are but few of June's san
culinary mementoes I've sii the chronicle of
the bloody engagements at Bethel, Virginia,

Transcript says: Harrs.
A young lady in whom many of our oiti-
zens became interested as pupil at the
Academy of Fine Arts, two years since,
reached this city by the morning train from
Union Springs, Alabama, Via Nashville. She
commenced her long and perilous journey
alone, was fortunate enough to Join COM

eminent in position and Services as teachers
South-but banished for the taints of Yam
kee blood and Yankee principles.
She has brought away some pictures of the
Southern chiyalry (not yet done onicaHyas),
which show them up in a meaner light than
ever. Families of high social position and
great wealth, refused to pay the bills for
artists materials furnished their daughters
while taking lessons in painting. A Volun-
teer company of Union Springs, a year ago,
employed this teacher to paint theirstandard,
and dssdatH to pay for the hard toll thus er-
peRded. usf rn i' . . ,i- o.
OF course there was no thought of war
with the North in the teachersl mind when
she painted the colors since reared in open
treason. Had there been, her hand might
have been severed from the body before it
could have been so employed. But the Incl
dent is worth preserving, as il shows the
honor of the Southern chivalFy. How
proudly they must step under colors thus
obtained, hauuting their. own shame. "A

The evidences of a change in British opin-
ion upon the subject Of our national strug-
gle-sIe coming to US more rapidly with
every day. Heretofore the liberal msnufac-
turing interest of England has manifested
themost undesirable tolerance to the cause
Of our rebels and traitors. The following
extract from its organ, the London Star, of
May q, shows that this class is, coming
round. The Star still maintains that we
ought to have let the Shareholders go, and
thanked them. for goingi hut now that war
has actually occurred, it takes position on
this wise: = MS
They can scarcely need to be assured that
{ the sympathies Of England are entirely with
them, and with the cause which they repre-
sent The bare statement of the objects for
which their antagonists Oare eontending,
must suffice to arouse in the hearts Of all
free men, universal repulsi01 and disgust.
The champions of the new nationality which
would base itself upon the iniquitous doc

peet from us no congFatulation on their sue

We marvel at the blindness with which
they persist in heapipR Goals Of fire upon
their own heads, by elamoring for the main

which is an sbominatioR in the sight of God
and man. That these sentiments are cher

Captsin Farmer, her husband, had returned

kvBNTIoN OF GofTk-PERcHA FLOATING.
BRIDGE.-Mr. John Ryder of New YORK, is
about to submit TO the Government new
invention of gutta .percha floating bridge,
which, it is claimed, will be Of great benefit
to 0uraTmy when a river has to be crossed,
and no standing bridges are near. The for
ward part of the bridge, il is said, can be
formed into bsrricsde in few miautes'
time, and be perfectly bullet proof. The
structure is divided into sections twenty feet
long by twenty inches in diameter; each
section being supplied with a large air
chamber, to be inflated with air, and which
the inventor asserts will sustain twenty two
hundred pounds. The chamber is similar to
clipper ships bottom. The sections are
united by facing with hemp rope, the eyelet-
holes being about six inches apart. Over
Z the sections, plank, if necessary, can be laid
dowt; the space between each section being
sufficiently wide for men, horses, and Rrtil
lsry to pass without. the slightest incon-
vepieDce. ANY number of sections can be
used at once, and very little time is consumed
in putting them together. fne barricade re-
