Nothing new from Charleston. Gen.

Minnesota and Wisconsin have both put
Union State tickets in the field. In the
latter State the election takes place on No

ment Of Southern news. These pictures
Of life in Dixie under the rebellion arc
graphic and telling, and we cannot read
them without wishing that every Northern
sympathzer with the rebels was grinding
in the prison house with them. The way

that the James Lannon's Of the North are
not in the way they affect to covet so
earnestly.

the country wag their heads, and affect to

The Sentinel says passengers on the Central
train report ali quiet on the upper Rappahan-
mock. Ten or ffteen Yankee prisoners were
brought down, most OF them captured by
Gen. Imboden's command. There is nothing
Of importance from Fredericksburg.
We have heard Of several slaves returning
to their masters, having had enough Of Yam
kee freedom. One came down In the cars,
yesterday, who left his master SIX manths ago
ard went to Pennsylvania, and now has re.
turned to his home. Negro slavery In the
South 10 preferred BY them to Yankee slavery
In the army. a gentleman from above, who
came down yesterday, says the finest spirit
prevails In the army, all expressing the most
unlimited confidence in their noble chief.
General Lee is in excellent health and fine
spirits. Gen. Ewel1, the worthy successor of
the lanented Jackson, since his severe wound
last fall, prefers small horee, as ho can
mount him with less difficulty. Yesterday
tho General was mounted on a mule, nnd
ready for anything in the fighting line.
The S,ntinel announces the death, On the
18th inet at the Libby Prison, Of Maj. Robt.

Billy Smith, Governor elect Of Virginia, has
been rendered the appointment Of Major Gen

that the people Of that section are running

The Examiner thinks that these extracts
crush cut the notion that the backbone Of the

Dansville, New York. Wells Covert, q man Of
