ANECDoTE OF GENERAL LEE.-'Gamma,
the able correspondent of the Mobile Reg
lister, in a recent letter, tells the following
anecdote of the Bayard of the South:
In Genaral Lees tent meat is eaten but
twice a week-the General not allowing lt
oftener, because he believes tue indulgence
in meat 10 be criminal in the present strait
ened condition of the country. His ordi
nary dinner consists of head of cabbage
boiled in salt water, and pone Of corn
bread.
In this connection, rather comic story
is told. Having invited number of gem
tlemen to dine with him, General Lee in
fit Of extravaganza. ordered sumptuous
repast Of cabbage and middling. The din
ner was served, aud, behold great pile of
cabbage and bit of mIddling abou' TN
inches long and TWO inches across: i.c
guests with commendable politen,ss, u..a.~
imously declined middlng, and it remained
in the dish untouched. Next day General
Lee remembering the delicate hit which
had been SO providentiaily preserved, cr-
dered his servant to bring "that middling"
The man hcsitared, scratching his head, and
finally owned up. "De lac is, massa Rob
ert, dat ere 'midd.in' was horrid 'middhn':
We all dent hab mar spec, and done paid
1t back to tue man whar | got il from -
General Lee heaved sigh of deep disap-
pointment, and pitched int his cabbage

THE TRINITY NATIoxAL.-We are called upon
to chronicle the demise, during the present week.
of our late neighbor, the Trinity Natioaal, q
Confederate sheet started at time in the history
of the country when the more jealous admirers
of the jeff. Davis usurpation had high hopes
that the conspirators would succeed. We really
sympathze with Mr. Carter, whose bearing has
ever been that of "a clever gentleman But he
leaned upon q broken reed-failed to receive
that - hearty support y promised him in the
outset by those whose zeal evidently surpassed
their hbsrahty. Some people are perfectly will
ing to patronize their party paper by scribbling
for it, but they think it trespassing too much
on their good nature to ask them to pay for it.
During the early part of its career and the
last few weeks of its existence the National was
edited with much ability, and we are inclined to
believe that its life would have been materially
prolonged had it continued under his manage
ment from the beginning. Mr.. Carter is warm
friend and admirer of Gen. Logan, of Illinois,
and we understand has no sympathy for the Con-
federate cause, but when he undertook to edit a
- Democratic " paper, of course he had to serve
up such political dishes as would be most pala-
table to Copperhead appetites 1t is true the
Government has often fed and succored those in
arms against it, but that was charity which
they had no right to demand or expect, neither
could the National reasonably expect the patron
age of loyal county, nor the hearty support OF
Abolitionists.
We are we'll satisfied that % Democratic -
paper cannot prosper in the loyal States until
of the party so change as to again be in harmony
with those laid down by jackson, the first OF
WI III was - the Union must and shall be pre-
served"

GooD TIDINGs OF NEEDED Aba telegram
dispatch had just been received from Washing
ton 81 h8
4 The fact that the .4labama is believed to be
making her way toward the Pacific coast has at
last crossed the attention of both the War and
Navy Departments. 1t is said by Californians
that single thirty-gun frigate could take the
harbor of San Francisco or any other harbor
along the coast, The Navy Department has de-
termined to send two or three men-of-war to that
place at the earliest possible moment. Senator
Conness has also secured from the War Depart
ment the assignment of prominent and able
Major General to the Pacific coast, with several
batteries of artillery and small addition to the
infantry force. This relieves General Wright.
Californians have for some time been making
urgent representation of the need fer these
changes and reinforcements.'
That is really good news for the people of the
W. R. Sherman, formerly of the firm of Lucas,
Turner & Co., is the g prominent and able Major
General u assigned to the command of the De-
partment of the Pacific. We hope the rumor is
true, for Major General Sherman has shown his
bravery and ability on many Western battle
present witness of the g stern realities of war,
and knowing the Nations need, will, it is hoped,
reverse the present order of things in the De-
partment of the Pacific. We shall live in hope
that no more official military Orders will be pub
lished "By Authority in secesh sympathizing

by the Acting Quarlermaster, from secession

enough at SEQ These things have really been
done. Frequent charges of disloyalty have been
made against Gen. Wright since he assumed
command of this Department, but we have al
ways been charitable enough to feel that he was
a sunerannuated old man, and perhaps not re-
spoLsbe for all the acts of his subordinates-a
state of things which should not exist in these
times. A change for the better is needed.

HALF TowN SWEPT INro THE PACIFIc.-A
most singular and disastrous calamity visited the
town of Port Angeles, Washington Territory, at
dark on the 10th of D. .ember. Heavy rains had
melted the snow in the adjacent mountains back
of the town, causing an overflow of the lakes at
the foothills, which discharged their waters into
ravne, the mouth of which is just back of the
town. The first intmation the inhabitants had
of dang"~ was the rushing of n mighty torrent
