WHAT TIE REBELS ARE HOPING FOR.

Matters IN RICHMoHD.-A Young lady-Eor
five years q resident In Richmond, and a rela.

has recently succeeded In effecting her escape
from the rebel capital, and arrived In Massa-
chusetts few days since. She had previously
made many endeayors TO leave Richmond with
out success. Some of her statements are of
considerable interest.
In Richmond, there is one thing that can
hardly escape tue most superficial observation.
The people fear Gen. Grant. When 1t is an
nounced that he Is moving on the city, the
popular mind Instantly assumes a serious tone.
The churches are thronged, and the theatres
deserted. Public amusCments almost Cease

tlons.
"As has been already stated, the popular ap.
probation Of Grant recognizes his persistent
viii, hrmness OF purpose, and marvellous com.
mani OF Resources. Hence, when the report
spread that he was dead, there was great and
general jubilation In Richmond, and conse-
quent depression as the truth became known.
IL is believed by the rebels that Grant is no un-
worthy antagonist of their greatest General,
Robert Z. Lee.

Conn, few days ago, having on board a
single specimen Of the genuine salmon. 1t
weighed eight pounds, was in excellent condi.

has not taken place on this coast for many
years. Where this fish came from, and to
what river he was bound, can only be settled
by the naiurAlists, who always know every
thing, Nearly ffty years have elapsed since
the salmon race hAbitually ascended the Con-
necticut and the Thames, and surely the wan

Ing In an article In FrdSey'S MIgdzine:
Mr.. st. John adyerts to the wonderful capa-
bility which trout possess of adapting their
color TO the color of the water in which they
are placed. "Put living blackburn trout, u
he says, into q white basin of water, and IL
becomes, within half an hour, OF light color.
Keep the llsh living In a white jar for some
days, and 1t becomes Absolutely white; but put
II into dark-cOlored or black vessel, and, al
though on first being placed there the white
coOrcd fish shows most conspicuously on the
black ground, In quarter of an hour 1t be-
comes as dark cOlOred as the bottom of the lar.
and, consequently, difficult to be seen.''
We can entirely confirm the truth of this
statement, and a striking illustration Ia to be
found In two lOchs In the north west of Suther.
lanshire, separated only by low ridge of land.
In the One-whlch is full OF dark moss water
the trout are nearly black; In the other-where
the bed of the lochs Is limestone, and the water
so clear that you can see the bottom where IL
Is rty or fifty feet deep-they are almost as
sllVefy In color as sea trout. Loeb Brora, too
-another Loeb in the same couuty-affords a
further corroboralion of the truth of Mr.. st.
johns observations. That loch is divided into
three sheets of water, united by narrows, W here
the lake assumes the appearance Of a river.
In the upper part, where the bottom Is sand
and 1ne gravel, the trout are clear In color,
with bright Vermilion spots; In the central
division, where the bottom Is not so clean, and
the water darker, they also are dark In color,
and their spots are not so bright; while In the
lowest division of the lake, where the bottom
is very muddy, the trout are quite black and
ugly, though OF larger size.

relative to the Ute Indians, numbering about
two thousand souls. These Indians have IN made
treaty with the United States and now give
assurances Of their friendship for the whites.
This is 40 important fact, considering they arc

A late letter from Cuba contains an account
Of the carrying of of boy eight years old by
a cuttle-nsh, which Is about as horrid an affair
as we have read Of for long time. 1t seems
that several children were playing near the
shore, and coming upon the cuttle-fsh few
rods from the water. began TO throw sticks and
stones at II. The fsh at once retreated towards
the water, the children following In great gee
and raining missiles upon the awkward crea-
ture, the like of which they had never before
seen, As soon as the cuttle-ash had got 10 the
waters edge, It threw one Of Its long arms
upon the arm Of the boy nearest 1t, and TO his
aud his paytellow's horror, began TO drag him
into the sea. The poor child struggled 70 get
loose, and screamed agoniziugly, and some Of
the larger boys rushed To aid him, but TOO late.
