THE REBEL GENERAL LEE.-Col Free
mantle, of the British army, describes Gen.
Lee as follows:
Gen. Lee is without exception the hand
soonest man of his age ever saw. He is
fifty years old, tall, broad shouldered, very
well made, well set np-a thorough soldier
in appearance, and his manners are most
courteous and full of dignity. He is per-
feet gentleman in every respect. imagine
no man has so few enemies, or is so univer-
sally esteemed. Throughout the South, all
agree in pronouncing him to be as near per-
fectiosss. man can be. He has none OF
the sifrAn vices, such as smoking, drinking,
chewing or swearing, and his btterest enc
mics never accuse him of the greater ones.
He generally wears a we'll worn long gray
jacket high black felt hat, and blue trow-
sers tucked into his Wellington boots. 1
never saw him carry arms, and the only
mark of his military rank are three stars on
his collar. He rides a handsome horse
which is extremely we'll groomed. He him
self is very neat in lis dress and person,
and in the most arduous marches he always
looks smart and clean.

Reliable from Idaho,

Through the kindness of Mr.. John F.
Richards we are enabled to give our readers
some items of interest from Idaho, taken
from letter written at Virginia City. May
18th, by Mr.. John A. Castor, an old and
well known citizen of LeavenWorth. That
gentleman says: The trip from Leaven-
worth to Denver was agreeable, but from
the latter place to Salt Lake it was awful
showing almost every day, and the coolest
weather ever felt in the mountains. From
Salt Lake to this place Virginia City, the
trip was pleasant. Everything brings
of most articles. Coffee is worth from 80
cents to 81 per pound, sugar 80 cents, soda
rs, bacon rs, lard 81, butter 81 so, eggs
81 SO, -four SIS per cwt., whisky 50 per
gallon, prints IS cents per yard, heavy drill
ing ST, and everything else in proportion.
The mines are very rich-this gulch is ff-
teen miles long, and pays all the way up
from $50 to $4,000 per day to four men.
l have seen $3.50 taken out of one pan of
dirt, picked off of the bed rock. If there
are no more diggings discovered this sum-
mer there will be big stampede from this
country, as there is enough labor here now
to work the mines already discovered.
Wages is seven dollars per day for old hands,
and five dollars for green ones. Rents are
very high-a room 90 by 80 brings $3.50
per month, aud house and lot (cabin rath-
err is worth $4,000. There is theater in
full bloom here--admission So Five large
gambling houses, and about sixteen stores.
A great many buildings are going up. The
population Of the town is about 5000, and
the gulch, Is, 900. Axes are selling readi-
ly at so apiece. think 1 will be able to

The Dress REFORM

The London Times evidently dislikes
the idea that American ladies should dress
exclusively in American fabrics, to the in
jury of European manufacturers, and gives
vent to its feelings as follows:
''What can be said of people where the
wives of exPresidents, Vice Presidents,
Senators and Representatives can seriously
hold large meeting in the capital city, in
the very crisis of the war, aud act out this
piece of half-mad, half-smart bombast
What can we expect of the men whose
wives, daughters and mothers can find no
other public exercise of feminine qualities
than this pizarre and tricksy patriotism
If it were possible to forget the terrible sac
rifce of human life that is involved in the
struggle, and the great issues of history
which hang upon its result, one would be
disposed to treat the whole scene as one
grand Pantomime, where the only object is
TO OUTAGE absurdity with absurdity, and we
should await with the easy excitement of
spectators the anticipated and intended
crash.'

1t is a good thing fora man to wash his
face clean, and put on his best clothes, and
walk to the house of God with his wife and
children on Sunday, whether he believes in
Christianity or not. The church is the
place where, at least, good morals are in
eulcated, and where the vices of the com
munity are denounced. You can afford to
stand by 50 much of the church, and, BY
so doing, Here am /, and here are mine,
with stake in the welfare of society, and
an interest in the good morals of society"

The word 'fast" is as great contradict

RASPBERRY Culture-Raspberrie will
grow on almost any good soil, but flourish
best on a moist soil. containing eonsidera-
BILE vegetable mould. For garden culture,
after spading in good coat of well rotted
manure and ashes, mark off your rows four
feet apart, and if you have plenty of room,
FIVE is better, setting the plants two or three
feet apart in the rows-in either case they
will, if we'll mulched (Which l consider al

in the spring; laying down, and covering
the stocks in the fall with evergreens, leaves,
or anything that willshield them from the
effects of the sun when they are not covered
with snow. Ifkept well mulched, they will
produce much better fruit and require but
little wedding, and that can and ought to
be done with the hands, on account of the
roots running near the surface of the ground.

NOBLE ACOoUNT.-That our colored
troops display excellent fighting qualities
has been established beyond doubt but
that they can also be possessed of consider
able esprit du corps, little incident at the
crossing of the Saline swamp and river
clearly demonstrates.
''Pete,' colored man, is attached to
Headquarters Of the 1st Ark Infantry, and
during the whole campaign showed much
soldierly pluck. When in that dreadful
Saline bottom the wagons had to be destroy
ed for want of animals, and almost every
particle of baggage had to be DESTROYED, the
large fine flag which, the ladies of Van Bu-
rem had presented to the lst Ark. Infantry,
was threatened to share a like fate Pete
couldn't stand this, but rolled it up and car
ried it on his back all the way to Little Rock
and from there to this place, rather dispens-
ing with some necessary article himself than
abandon the "fag." Hurrah for Pete =

PERILs OF GENIUs.-Some of the most
remarkable geniuses of the world, as well
as the most stupid dolts have been victims
of rum. Rum drinking did not give the
sparkle and brilliancy of mind that attracted
the attention of mankind, but was the cloud
upon the heavens. Coleridge, when be was
limited for time to perform some literary la
Dor, bad to be confined from his cups that
it might be sure of its completion and
when it was done he ran at full speed to
the den where he could revel with the vilest
of ths vile. DeQuincy was as much a
slave of opium. Burns was less brute,
but drunkard still; and so were Charles
Lamb, and Byron, who drew his inspira-
tons from gin, and Steele, the author of the
"Christian Hero" himself the hero of a
grog-shop, and Douglas Jerrold, who loved
brandy better than letters, and Poe, author
of tire Raven" whose mind was full of
gloom from the effects of over drinking.
and who died of delirium tremens. Thus
the Hottest minds have given way at times
TO the lowest vices and those who SCARED
to heaven in intellect were as low as the
brutes in filthy habits.
