Mrs. AND GEN LEE-Mrs. Gen. Lee, wife
of the commander of the Virginia forces, has
written letter to Gen. Mcdowell, thanking
him in the kindest manner for the prcserva-
tion of the property at the Arlington House
his present headquarters. This Arlington
estate formerly belonged to G: W. Park
Curtis, and she very naturally feels deep
Interest in its preservation. Her husband,
Gen. Lee, is said to have been superseded by
Beauregard, per order of jeff Davis and he
is in no gay humor at the change Lee has
always had an idea that Virginans were the
cream of creation, and that he was first and
foremost among the f. F. VS.. The promo
tion of Beauregard to the chief command,
must therefore be particularly calling

JOHN MINOR BoTrs The New York Tri-
bune admits that it was hoaxed in the late
extraordinary dispatch from Washington an
nouncing the arrival of John Minor Bolts in
that city, to claim lis seat in Congress and
various startling developments made hy him
regarding rebel movements in Virginia. Mr..
Bolts has not been in Washington a! all. but
on the contrary has succumbed TO the Seces
sionists, and remains at home, doubtless un-
der close watch from his new confreres.
Vanity Fair treats him to the following briel
obituary;
Here lies poor Bolts!
Hard Fate allots
His name to rank with names far viler
He virtuous was,
But fell-because
He went to sleep with old John Tyler

MORE OF GEN LEE-The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Press, who is
understood to be Col. Forney himself reiter-
ates the report of the rupture between Gen.
Lee and jeff. Davis lie has, he says, the
best authority for saying that the report is
true; and indeed, that intelligence was re-
ceived at the War Department on the 27th,
to the effect that Lee had left the Secession
army in disgust, and that he was anxious to
regain his old post in the Federal army.
Mrs Lees late letter to General Mcdowell
he thinks, looks like paving the way for her
husbands reinstatement.

TUoLUMNE COUNTY PoLTics- The prospects
of the Republicans in this county are getting
no brighter fast. We think the figures Of
last year won't encourage them much, either
Look The vote for Senator was, Quint
1851; Cavis, 1914; and on an average, The
Legislative ticket Of the Republicans was be-
hind ours some hundred votes. True, the
acknowledgements party cleaned us both
out last fall; but it is no where now. The
rank and file who were deluded into its sup
port then, will vote the Union ticket next
September They have always been, at heart,
for the Union, and opposed to the ultraisms
OF the Republican party. Their place is
with the Union Democracy; they cant go
anywhere else and don't want to. Their
would-be-leaders, erewhile candidates for
Sheriff, District Attorney, Treasurer DC, can
be sorted out from promscuous crowd and
sworn to by their elongated visages es-Sonora
