The LARGEST ROOM IN the WORLD.
The people Ct New England are Civ.
ing Gen. McClella a reception which
is as sincere as it is enthusiastic. This
proves the spread Of his popularity.
And willie speaking of his popularity
We are reminded, rs Mr.. Lincoln says,
cf what occurred few evenings since
at one Of our popular minstrel halls.
The incident shows that here, as in Bos-
ton, the enthusiasm Of the people is
easily raised when Mcclellan is in qnes-
tion. Bones wished to know if +" Mr..
johnson could tell him which was the
largest room in the world. Johnson
failed 10 all bis attempts, and finally
gave it up. "The room for improve
ment,h triumphantly shouted Bones.
"Oh know where dat room is" said
Mr.. Johnson. "Dat's down on dc Rap
pahannock.' Shouts Of applause gree
cd this sally. {" know who can sweep
dat room Clean asserted Bones, with a
wise shake Of the head Lutte Mac
can do it, sure" This brought the
house down. They stamped, and
laughed, and cheered for Mcclellan fol
ten minutes at least. The nprosr began
airesh when Bones came forward and
grayelv announced that Fifteen min.
utes intermisson will take place to al
low for cheering Go General" Slraws
show which way the wind blows. The

LONDON, June 49, Mr.. Mason Envoy OF
The Confederate States has sent to the Times
2 copy of correspondence with Mr.. Conway,
Al American gentleman, who was introduced
10 the public at the London Tavern, on last
Tuesday, in which M. Conway proposes that
# the Confederates emancl pate their slaves, the
North will stop the war.
Mr. Conway commences his letter, dated
June 10th, by informing Mr.. Mason that ne
(ConVay) is authorized, on behalf Ct the An
ti-slavery people OF America who nave sent
him to ti,is country, to propose that, II tne
Confederate States will Immediately commence
The work of negro emancipation, the Adolf
tionists and Anti-slavery leaders OF the North
ern States shall at once oppose the TURNER
prosecution of the war; and since they hold the
balance Of power, they Will cause the war TO

NV. at once terminated the correspondence.

long appeal from nearly enc hundred min
;sters Of al denominations in the Confederate
States, seeking to enlist English sympathy in
the Confederate cause. It is stated that the
address originated from no political source

held at Richmond. The address takes the
ground that the restoration OF the Union IS
imDossbIe. The London Times considers it a
most important document.
The Emperor Napoleon has addressed let
ter to General Forey, testifying the strong sat

Town Regulations.

We are glad to hear that DR.. Barr, the re-
Gently elected Mayor ofsAbingdon, intends to
put the law in free against all who violate
the corporation ordinances. Citizens will be
expected to keep clean the streets and alleys,
stables, stys and back houses. No nuisances
will be allowed 70 remain within the limits Of
the town. Persons win not be allowed to
prowl about at night, making hideous noises,
nor to ride through the streets after the man-
ner of John Gilpin, to the danger Of their own
necks and those If others, and without mercy
to their horses. No distractions will be al
lowed in the streets, alleys or passways, such
as wagons, lumber, trash, bushes, weeds, or
any other nuisance.
We thus give timely notice to all who do
not care to peep through the ''ten of die
monds'" or pay fine.
