VIM. G. Preston, of Kentucky, formerly
United States Minister to Spain. is npw a
General in the rebel army. His wife, son,
and daughter, arrived at Boston in the
steamer Africa a day or two since, and were
very properly refused permission to land
by the War Department. Their appIica-
ton to go by rail to Canada was also unsuc.
cessiul. We do not know whether they
have been staying in the provinces or in
Europe. Whatever may be the case they
will be compelled to remain on board the
steamer. and the nearest port they can
reach will be Halifax, where the Cunarders
touch on their outward trips.
