GENERAL STONE. - The relatives of
this gentleman in this State are astonished
at his unexpected arrest on charge Of
treason. His wife is Massachusetts
woman of undoubted Union sentiments,
and his connections all state that they
never heard disloyal word from his lips.
They have undoubted faith that the Gen
eral, though conservative in his views
upon the slavery question, is decidedly in
favor OF the prompt suppression of the re-
bellion. His friends, we understand, are
moving in the matter Of an immediate in
vestigation of the charges made against
him, as they believe that the man who was
prominent in the defence of the capital, al
a dark hour of the rebellion, has not al
this late day thrown himself into the arms
of the enemies both of his State and coun
try.-[ Boston Courier.

FROM THE SOUTH.
AMERICA

The Norfolk papers announce that
state Of the most fearful dependency pr
walls in the North. The army and ma
are weary of the conflict, and it will \
be astonishing if, in few months, Sewar
and his philosophy are SO negatived as
be banished from America. Since thI
delivering themselves, the journalists hal
heard from Roanoke.
WIN. Mcfarland, who ran for Co,
gress in the district vacated by the, des.
of John Tyler, was most bitterly denOun
ed by the Richmond papers, because
was in favor of paying in gold the interti
on the Virginia bonds, "due to the va
KEGS" Such unheard-of integrity coz
pletely shocked the confederates, and
is not remarkable that Mr.. McFarsDI
was allowed to stay at home.

THE BALL MOUNTAIN ENTER.
PRISE.

We learn that the enterprise of fencing
Ball Mountain, by Mr.. @. @ Alvord and
NJ. G.. Everts, for the purpose OF domesti-
eating the Elk, is about to receive an I'M
portant addition. We understand that
the proprietors are in communication
with M. Coste, of the College of France,
the pioneer of Fish breeding in
that country, who is about to establish a
branch in America. Should the arrange
ment be made, Cold River will be damned
at convenient distances, for the purpose
of breeding the Trout, Salmon and the
Carp; the waters of said river running
on three sides of the Mountain, being Pc
culiarly favorable to the breeding OF fish.
Both economy and self-interest favor the
union of the two projects. With the i'm
mense amount of funds at the disposal OF
Nj. Cosie, should the arrangement DC
made, the enterprise would assume mag
nifcent proportions. We also learn thai
there are scientific professors in this
country engaged in this enterprise, whose
names, if we were allowed to mention
them, would inspire the confidence of the
learned at home and abroad.
1t is expected that Mr.. David Tower
the famous fisherman, will superintend the
fish-breeding department. His numerous
city friends will hardly find his equal as
guide and fisherman, should he thus
change his avocation. Those persons
who are anxious to contract the fencing
of the premises, and the public house t.
be occupied by Mr.. Patch, will please
have little patience until further ar
rangements are made, and the plans nov
in the hands Of competent architects art
completed.

Some description of the Cumberland
River, upon the banks OF which the re-
cent desperate engagement, resulting SO
decisively in favor of the Union, took place
will be interesting to our readers.
The Cumberland river rises in the
Cumberland mountains near the boun-
dairy between Virginia and Kentucky
and pursuing westerly or south-westeriy
coure, enters the State OF Tennessee,
westwardly and northerly, and enters and
crosses Kentucky, entering the Ohio
II l-2 miles east of the mouth OF the Ten
nessee river and so miles from the mouth
of the Ohio. The entire length OF the
river is about GOO miles, and drains ter
ritory of 1880 square miles. 1t is nav
igable for large steamboats, and vessels to
Nashville, 203 miles from the mouth, and
for boats of Is tons 800 miles further.
At certain seasons Of high water, vessels
of 400 tons can descend the river 400
miles to the Ohio, and for half its length
boats may navigate it at all seasons, 1t
is the second river in size which enters
the Ohio, being inferior only to the Ten
nessee. Below Nashville, the river is
deep and narrow. There are on the bor-
ders Of the Cunt gland nineteen fur
naces, nine FORCES, and two rolling mills
producing annually 44,5O0 tons of iron,
valued at Sl,673,OO0.
There is a railroad direct from Bowl
ing Green to Nashville. Nashville is
situated on the left of the west bank
of the Cumberland river, some two hum
dred miles by the course of the stream
from its mouth; $50 miles northeast of
Memphis 206 miles southeast of Lex
ington, in Kentucky. The Cumberland
river at this city is crossed by magnif.
cent wire suspension bridge, built at a
cost of 100000. Six railroads now
center at Nashville, affording communica-
ton with many desired points 1t is the
terminus of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad, $50 miles long, which was
finished in 1852 at an expense of about
$3,O0O,00O. Nashville has a population
of $4,000.

THE TENNESSEE RIvER.--It Is to be
hoped that the rebels will not be allowed
again to obstruct The Tennessee river,
but that a force sufficient to keep it open,
and make Florence shipping port for
cotton, win be provided. There is a
large cotton growing region around
Florence. Lauderdale county, of which
Florence is the capital, produces from ten
to twelve thousand bales of ginned cotton
Of four hundred pounds. Franklin
county, on the other side of the river, pro
duces over $4,000 bales. Cotton is ais
produced in Tennessee, on the line of tn
river. In Tennessee, in the villages o
the banks Of the river, there are sewers
cotton factories.

script on g Pluck" which he fitted up yester-
day morning for his Rutland audience. Ii
was some hours before the glorious news from
Fort Donclson, and contained a passage as
follows
Fort Donehon is aim ost ours-and who dares doubt
the rest?
Into that Fort their grim fate has decoyed
Buckner and Johnson, ard the honest floyd,
Though of this last / have this fear to say
He's stolen much before, he now may steal away

But Doesticks faith changed to sight !"
after he wrote the above, and he quickly
turned his (not exactly prosy "prayer" in
to poetic praise" delighting the audience
with an impromptu rythmical history Of the
GLORIOUS victory,'-which brought down
the house." The verdict was that @. X
Philander Doesticks is p. b., !. e., Perfect
Brick. He goes from here to st. Johnsbury.
