Bus one Paper.-We have long felt COM
WINGED as have most of our fellow citizens, of the
fact. that, in these times, the business and pat-
ronage of this county, would not support more
than one paper with any kind of profit. Acting
upon conviction we have purchased the office of
the Kenosha Times, and shut it up. We shall
now devote ourselves to making the Telegraph in
all respects worthy the patronage of all, and with
the increased patronage that will naturally come
to us, weIhope to make a paper that will be no dis
credit to the city or county. We shall soon have
new type for our paper, and with other improve.
meats which we shall be able to make, we feel Ger
tain that we shall more than make up for the non
appearance of the Times.
We send this number OF the Telegraph to sucl
of the subscribers of the Times as were not al
ready on our list, and hope they will consider Ou
paper as good as that, at least, and continue t,
take it as a substitute. If this number is returned
however, we shall take it as an intimation that GU
paper is not wanted. All such subscribers, VIII
continue to receive the Telegraph, we refer to on,
printed terms, on the first page, that there NAV b,
no Misunderstanding in the premises. We shout,
prefer TO have every subscriber pay in advance
still to accommodate those who are not prepare
to do that, we offer the usual terms.

GEN. Rousseau at Lancaster.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. "A serenade was
given Gen. Rousseau here to night, and not

gathering of ladies and gentlemen turned out

Venerable DR.. Mulenburg introduced General
Rousseau, who amid enthusiastic cheers, thank
ed the people for their cordial reception of an
humble citizen laborjng III the interest of the
government. He said II am not a politician.
and never expect to be. Before the war began

ute lopg.xI am for the Government of my faith

am against the enemies ott,hat Government and
all their friends both North and South"
He called on the people that they be so un-
tied as not to cripple the efforts of the sold
iers in the field. No matter what your politi~
cal preferences may be, u0ite to save the coun-

From EurODe.

NEW YORK, February !.
The Australssiau from Liverpool, the 18th,
Uia Queeuston the 18th, arrived at seven O'Clock
this evening.
The London correspondents of the Manches-
Ter Guardian, writing on the Emancipation
Proclamation, says he hears a very general ex-
preston of the opinion that the first black Gus
rage will be the signal for European interven-
ton in the interest os humanity.
Among the French diplomatic correspondence
jnst published is a letter from Napoleon to For
ey, lii which it is confess ed that the motive for
the French policy in Mexico, is a desire to pre-
vent the United States from extending their au-
thority SOUTHWARK over the American continent
Bright and Schoolield were again speaking
in Birmingham, in reference mostly to bellgerenf
rights &c. Bright questioned whether com
nercial men desired peace in America. Il would
bring ruin to many. He complained Of Rus
sell and Gladstone, and bitterly denounced the
Times for misleading the public ON the Ameri,
can question.
A movement was o%nSfoot in Liverpool to
test public opinion by a meeting TO consider
American affairs, and the Emancipation proc
Iamation. Movements of similar kind ID ad
taken place in Manchester, where a branch
Emancipation society was being formed.

Oriental RslIca,-There will be on exhibition FOL
q few days, at Emmons' Bookstore, on Saturday next
previous to their removal to the State Historical SocIe'
ty, Madison, \ number OF articles that will not only H.
terest the adquarian, but the citizens generahy lne'
are all enclosed in q small box made OF oilVe WOOL H0m
the Mt. OF Olives, nsar Jerusalem.
Among the smaller articles, are Pebbles from the
BLACK Sea, the Sea OF Galilee, the Dead Sea, and the
River Jordan; pieces of Marble from the Temple Of Baai
pieces o, stons from the Temples OF Jerusalem, Kar max
and Denders; Egyptian Granite, from the sphynx't 'front.'
ing many Of the Temples In the valley Of the Nile; small
Idols, &c, &c.
These Curiosities were brought home in 1886, oy our
fellow citizen, YoLSLY FsESCH, ESQ. He generously DO
mates them TO the public. But the chief article we lave
not mentioned, and which occupies a prominent place
IN the box. 1t is that of "the Princess Hand" taken
hom a tomb, at the ancient city Of Thebes. This he
assures US, is upwards Of three thousand years old
About this eFair Theban Princess we let Mr.. French
speak for himself We quote from one OF his published
letters:-
Gas we proceeded towards the river again, to see
some other tombs, We passed over u mile, Where the
whole ground was literally strewn with bones, andrem-
uants Of bodies, dragged out Of the numerous tombs and
pits, which were so thick that we had to be Careful in
guiding our horses, lest they would fall into them. fhese
relics once living mortality like ourselves, had been ex'
humed for the purpose OF being robbed OF ornaments
which were buried with them. Some were mummied
dogs W0lYeSi lDe3eS ana cats. GOlnB Sbil iuItheIi VIC
net a company of retail merchants in this decayed hui
man and animal stock, who looked as if they had just
arisen from the pits themselves, undergoing no change,
except in breathing.
They had every limb OF the body to sell, from the
greatest to the sRallest-from the entire YertebrR OF
the back, to q toe mail. They long since understood
that the "H0soGdjj" differed very much in the refine
ment of their tastes, and they had accordingly supplied
themselves with such kind Of commodities as were cal
culsted to suit their customers"
Afterwards, speaking Of the Princess Hand he pur-
chased, he says,
So perfectly has it been preserved, that not only are
the clear white nails seen, almost as perfect as In LIE,
but the small, delicate, plump veins are plainly discern
able through which the life currents OF youth and hope
were probs bly, flowing, when they were suddenly arrest
ed by death. With the Princess hand within my own,
chow little she dreamed it would be even thus pro fanedD

Reported Destruction of the Rebel Pirate
Florida.
NEW York, Feb 2

- NhW JIM L CO < -
A passenger by the Columbia, from Havana.
brings intelligence that a supposed reliable m.
NOR Of the destruction of the pirate Oyeto. or
Florida was current in the city, and that the
rumoT WAS confirmed by the arrival of the Gre,
ole from New York. The following is his
statement in brief:
On Thursday January 9th, it was reported
in Havana that heavy firing was heard at Man.
tanzas and Cardenas as if coming from vessels
Of war engaged in a serious contest at sea. II
was also stated that the Oveto, or some other
rebel vessel had been chased By several Union
gunboats, but with what result had not been
learned, 1t was then believed at Matanzas
that the firing and chase we're connected with
the same vessel.
The Creole from New York arrived At Has
vans on the 29th, and brought news that she
A&d beer spoken by the Union gunboat Cavu-
ga, which vessel reported that The Cayuga had
observed a steamer on fire, supposed to be the
Oveto and that three other vessels were firing
into lar with great r~apidity. The locality Of
this sngagement is not definitely stated. but Il
was in he vicinity of the Keys, of Cardenas
ana Matanzas. The San Jacinto was reported
loss. but we have traced the rumor to its source
and End hat it ell came from the fact that this
vessel passed Mayaguz, Porto Rico, ON the
18th.
On of the vessels that the Florida burned
was at anchor at the time in the mouth of the
port of Cardepas.
There have been no rebel clearances or a,
rivals since my last.

FAIRFAX COURT House, Jan 90.

1n5 HeTdLd mas the
FAIRFAX COURT House, Jan %.
( The cavalry raid of the 9th inst, q brief &C.
count of which has already been forwarded, was
in its results rather an important affair. The
force was composed of $50 men, under Major
Hammond. By order, Colonel Wyndham's ex-
petition left Fairfax at one O'Clock at night,
and arrived at Middleburg by daylight. Here
they captured twelve rebels who have been for
some time annoying our pickets, and recaptur>
ed fourteen paroIed prisoners. Several of these
last were evidently deserters. Sons of them
admitted they were dessrters, while others say
they were %stragglers who had been captured.
They stated that they had been robbed Of
their clothes, but this the rebel prisoners indig-
nantly denied and said they were deserters from
our army, and had voluntarily exchanged their
clothes in order so escape more readily. Among
the prisoners was Rev. Mr.. Landstreet, the
chaplain of Gen. Stuart. All the prisoners seem
to be we'll posted in regard to what was going
on within our lines. Very important informa~
ton was obtained in regard to Stuart's move
ments. They all admit that but little is to be
expected from the new conscription act,a as near
ly every available man is already in the field
