THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE

A "CoNr1DENcE" OPERATION In the late
attic of Fredericksburg, George McBlaln, OF
the New York was severely wounded and
brought to this city, and every attention was
rendered. As soon as Robert McBlaln, sub
stantial and aged farmer of Ontario County,
near Geneva, New York, heard of his SON
misfortune, he came to the city and renamed
with him until he died, on Tuesday last. The
young soldiers remains were embalmede and
taken to the Baltimore Del OF about one clock
on Wednesday afternoon.
While at the depot attending to his dead son
on the cars, Mr. McBlan was met by we'll
dressed young man, who seemed to take live
y interest in the old mans mlstortunes and
rendered his kind Offices in getting the remains
in safe place. The young man stated, IN the
course of the conversation, that he intended
to leave at three O clock for Catarangus county,
n. Y, and suggested that he hoped that 1t
would be mutually agreeable for them to be
companions as far as Elmira, New York.
The old gentleman sgnifed that he most glad
~ accepted the proposed companiorship, and
thought it would relieve his mind from rehec-
ton on his great grief. His companion"
then remarked that he had some business to
attend to, and request Mr.. McBlain to meet
him in the rotunda of the Capitol at two clock.
Accordingly, at that hour Mr.. Mob. went to
the rotunda where he found the young man
waiting for him. After the exchange Of few
words, the latter remarked to the former that
he wished to hear member of Congress, now
making speech, through, and that he would
return in plenty time to get to the cars tie DID
soon return, accom- anied by an old gentleman,
whom he introduced as the member from the
Allegheny district, New York. " The new ac-
ouaintance was as profuse in the expressions
of coincidence as the young man had been kind.
These preliminaries having prepared the
bird for picking, the young man asked Mr..
Mob. if he could give him small notes, tor
hundred dollar BILL Mr.. Mob. replied that
he did not think he had it, and proceeded to
count out what he had, which was just eighty
dollars. The youth replied that he would
bring him large bills fer it in an instant, and
at the same time snatched the roll out of its
owners hands, and passed hurrledly out OF the
door. The truth Immediately flashed across
the old man $ mind, but it was too late. Thief
No. and No. had disappeared.
Fortunately, Mr.. McBlain had paid the
freight on his Son. remains; but the money
taken from him was every cent he had with
him. and consequently he is unable to reach
home When he related the particulars at
the Office of Superintendent " ebb, he appear

being thus imposed upon by these heartless

Peace Proportions.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Commercial Advertiser says:
awe have had quite gathering of fprom-
inent politicians here, and it is rumored
that they have been summoned to con-
sultation over certain peace propositions
indirectly sent to Washington from Rich
mond. These propositions are based on q
reconstruction for ten years on Cslhoun's
dual Executive plan, with joint land and
naval forces, foreign representatives, postal
arrangements, patent laws and systems of
coins, weights aud measures. Every ninth
year the people of both the Northern and
Southern Confederseies to vote whether
the arrangement shall be renewed for
another ten yesrs-Or Union established
or a complete separation to take place.
"Improbsble as it may seem, those
whose synpathies have been enlisted with
the rebellion now hope that this Siamese
twln-like system Of government may be
adopted. Under il, slavery can be re- es-
tsblished and perpetusted, and SO that this
can be done they will willingly see our ma
tionsl government made like a rope Of
sand, our constitution Of less force than a
constable's writ, and our Union an idle
compact, from which State or States can
retire at will, and return when they
choose"
Undoubtedly " the Union as it was and
the constitution as it is faction are ready
to support with all their hearts, such q
proposition as this.

What The RadicaIs Have Done.

huhA AAf hhoIcuib AiGNb DoArs-aH
The Chicago Tribune, an able and Wig
OrOus organ Of the Radicals, puts in a good
word for its OWE kith, and many will re-
cognize the truth of the claims il puts
forth. It contends that the present dilsp-
dated state Of the rebellion, and The hope
fulness Of the Union cause, are due to the
Radicals. If the treaeherOus, mercensry
counsels Of the conservative press and pol
iticians had been followed to this time by
the President, cur soldiers would still be
standing guard over the property Of rebels,
catching and returning loyal slaves to dis
loyal masters, suffering defeat after defeat,
contending with the enemy near the line
Of Mason and Dixon; the Proclamation
Of Freedom would not have been uttered /;
the Confscslion Act would not be law /;
greenbacks would be worth less than 20
cents in gold. Indeed, it is highly prOba-
bic that foreign Intervention would now be
upon us, and the destruction Of the Union

A New Want for Ibis COun

The American Railway Times has the
following suggestion to inventors;
"The breaking up Of the system Of slave
labor in the Cotton States consequent upon
the rebellion opens new field Of expert
ment for our inventors and mechanics.
The cotton, rice and sugar fields are to be
cultivated by free labor, and, as a necessa-
ry consequences, by laOor-saving tools and
machinery. Instead Of the scratcby hoe
and the mule plow for breaking up the cot
ton lands, there must and will be steam
ploWs introduced and used. The cotton
lands are particularly adapted for the use
Of the steam plow; being mostly quite lev
el, and the soil strong and compact. These
lands having been worked for years, most
ly on the surface only, steam plows that
will 60 sixteen or eighteen inches deep,
will bring to the surface the elements Of

plantations that are now comparatively
