BrIgadier General shepIey.

A short time since "Perley" the Washing
ton Correspondent of the Boston journal,
gave publicity to report that charges had
been filed against Gen. Shepley for conniying
at certain practices disallowed by the Govern
ment; charges prejudcial to his character as
a man, and particularly as loyal citizen, act
ing under commission from the President.
While very few il any Of Gen. shepley's fellow
townsnen placed the slightest confidence in
that report, and none but disloyal men seemed
to gloat over it, it was nevertheless exceed
ingly annoying to his numerous friends, who
feel how cruel are such assaults upon honor
able public servants, especially in their absence,
and with no opportunity to confront their ira
ducers.
It is exceedingly gratifying to our own feel
ings as il must be to those of our citizens gen.
orally, 10 know that "Perley" has retracted
his statement, and that he was mislcd by one
of the bogus Louisiana representatives who
has been dancing attendance upon Congress
In hopes to gain seat in that body.
Captain Thornton of the Maine 18th, was
in Washington few days since, as special
messenger from Gov. Shepley, and returned
TO New Orleans by the boat which left New
York on Saturday last. While in Washing
ton he called on Secretary Stanton to inquire
II any such charges, as those referred to by
Perley, had been fled against Gov. Shepley
not knowing to what extent malice and a
disloyal spirit might have carried individuals
who are opposed 70 Mr.. Shepleys loyal adj
ministration. To quote the language of a let
ter we have seen, written from Washington
by man Of unquestioned standing and verac-
ity, "The Secretary laughed at the inquiry,
and said the report was nothing but a base

Argus of 18th January.
What nice little bit of sly malice is here
exhibited. II puts the military Governor up
ON an equal standing with rebel one, and a
sham one, designing to bring them all into a
common contempt. Why is General Shepley
thus treated by his townsmen unless the ma
lightly arises from heart opposed to the war
and angry with him because he is in favor OF a
vigorous prosecution Of it and thereby put
such ones to shame.

The lecture-going fever must have nearly il
not quite attained its crisis in this city during
the last week. The lectures of Agassiz upon
the "Glacial Period" replete of course with
profoundest erudition, most happily adapted
TO common comprehension delivered at the
Smithsonian, and those Of Cough upon "Pe-
culiar People" and 'Eloquence and Orators
full OF humor and pathos, fancy and wit, de-
liyered at the -Four and one half street church
tDr. Snnderland's) have drawn crowds, sell
dom equalled here. The rush did not seem
any the less because the lectures occurred in
part simultaneously, or on account OF Whip
pies fine lecture on Courage" delivered be-
fore the Washington Lyceum, at Wizards
Hall. Perhaps, however, there was no more
OF press during the week than to hear
"Words for the Hour from Miss Anna Z.
Dickinson in the Hall of Representatives. She
came to the city upon the invitation of the
Vice President and about twenty senators,
Representatives. She was introduced by the
Vice President and her noble sentiments were
received with enthusiastic applause. Among
her hearers was the President. On the same
evening Rev. Dr. Storrs OF Brooklyn gave the
first lecture of the Radical Course" before
the Washington Lecture Association. His
subject was Robin Hood and John Wickiifle,
oil Early Popular Elements in England. The
lecture was brilliant effort, faultless In rhe-
torieal and oratorical graccs and was listened
TO with profound attention by an intelligent
aud appreciatiye audience. The above were
all the lectures delivered last week except one,
very good one, upon the National Loyal
Leagues by Col. Forney, Secretary of the
Senate before the Washington Literary and
Dramatic Association. After this day OF
rest could not well come amiss TSP.
