Especial Dispatch to Cleveland IrlDIa ]

OBERLIN, August 81, 1865.
A large and enthusi, site audience con.
vened this morning in response to the avery
brief notice given that General Cox would
address the citizens of Lorain county t.
DAY.
After fervent prayer by the Rev. G. @
FoOte, of cberlin, Major General Cox was
introduced by Professor E. d. Fairchid,
Of o0erlin College, President of the meet
ing, and made an able aud argumentstive
speech, during the delivery of which he
was loudly aPplsuded. He pursued the
same line of thought and enuncisted the
same principles as at Warren and Wooster,
pointing out the duty of loyal men in this
new phase OF the contest between loyalty
and rebellion-freedom and oppression
1t was a most earnest and honest app 81 to
the loyal men of Ohio to psrsevere until
traitors should have been beaten at the
ballot box as well as in the field.
The meeting adjourned amid the great
est enthusiasm.

A Richmond letter to the Baltimore
american says:
HYou will see dood desl of nonsense
originating in 8 Southern paper about
General Lees reasons for applying for
nsrdon. 1t is all stuff. General Lees ap
plicstion for 8 pardon was drawn of and
submitted 10 his friends in this city two
months ago, before be left for the country.
II is very long document, over eighteen
pspes of foolscSp. General Lee made his
application for pardon on his own account,
ard not on account of others, and without
anv reluctace--at lesst none wss expressed
70 his friends. General Lee is not the MAJ
TO excuse any act If his by pretending that
IT ia done for the benefit Of others. By the
by. speaking of him reminds me that he
does not intend to return 10 this city to
reside"
The Richmond Republic makes the fol-
lowing statements:
awe have already announced that Gen.
RE Lee had been offered the Presidency
of Washington College, Lexington, Va.
Judge John peterborough, one OF the
visitors of the college, was sent to inform
him of his election, and at our latest sd'
vices from Lsxigton had not returned. II
is. therefore, not known whether Gen. Lee
will accept the position, but in the absence
of positive information on the subject We
are inclined to think that he will not. DE
has recently expressed the intention OF
Iessing q grazing farm in Albemarle, and
resioing upon it with bis family. During
the psst week he and Mrs. Lee have bean
on visit to Bremo, the plantation OF Gen.
Philip st. George Cooke, fifteen or twenty
miles above Gainesville, and was met there
by Judge Brockenborough.
HWasbiugton College is, next to William
snd Mary, the Oldest institution OF learn
inc in Virginia and is the AtTG Mater OF
some of the most prominent citizens OF the
State. It before the war, stood next to

further endowed with one hundred thous

wealthy james river planter. Unless tn
funds were lost by bad investments during
the war, the college should now be in
hourishing financial condition"

Special Report.
FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, August 81.
Wall street was somewhat disturbed to-
day BY the rumor that some party has been
formed to induce Congre to authorize the
issue Of more currency to the National
Banks. The anticipation that the pressure
on Congress will be sufficient to insure the
further issue of currency, which will bring
on more imitation and speculative excite
ment, has given an upward impulse to the
price Of gold and stocks.
The Stock Exchange this morning was
stronger in the Railway list and there
was q better feeling throughout with q
fair demand for stocks. The general mar
ket was q little of from the extreme point
but it rallied again when it became known
that the bank statement would be more
favorable.
Government stocks were not affected by
the European news, and prices were gen.
erally better. The demand was for old
5.2OA 7.30 notes and new debt certificates
State bonds are quiet and steady.
The Miscellaneous list shows strong and
stocks are generally offered very sparingly.
The Gold market remains very firm.
The prospect of resumption of specie
shipments, and an active demand for du-
ties, in connection with the fact that the
Treasury Department is not selling, has q
tendency to advance the premium. The
decline in London quotations is partially
the cause of the advance. It is reported
that there will be shipment Of 100000
Wednesday.
Money Is easier, and is cffared quite
freely.

The Two Apprentices. A

Two boys were apprentices in a carpenter S
shop. One determined to make himself a
thorough workman the other didn't care
One of them read and studied, and got books
that would help him to understand the princi-
pies of his trade He spent his evenings at
home reading. The other liked fun the best
He often went with other boys to have "a
good time" "Come," he often said to his
shope-mate ''leave your old books; go with
us. What's the use of all this reading" ''If
| waste these golden moments" was the boy $
answer; 81 shall lose what / can never make
up" While the boys were still apprentices,
an offer of two thousand dollars appeared in
the newspapers for the best plan for State
house, to be built in one of the Eastern States.
The studious boy saw the advertisement
and determined to try for it. After careful
study he drew out his plans, and sent them to
the committee. We suppose he did not really
expect to gain the prize; but he did think
'there is nothing like trying" In about a
week afterwards, gentleman arrived at the
carpenters and asked if an architect by the
name of Washington Wilberforce lived there.
"No," said the carpenter, mo architect, but
an apprentice by that name" Lets see
him" The young man was summoned, and
informed that his plan was accepted, and that
the two thousand dollars were his. The gen.

Description of Our Saviour

Mr., EDlroE-The Boston Journal SAYS tina!
the following eplstle was taken by Napoleon
from the public records of Rome, when he de-
prived that city Of so many valuable manu-
scripts. 1t was written at the time and on the
spot where Jesus Christ commenced his min.
stry, by Publius Sentallus the Governor of
Judea, to the Senate of Rome--Casar, En-
peror 1t was the custom in those days for
the Governor to write home any event of i'm
portance which transpircd while he held Of
flee.
CoNscRIPr FArHERs.-There appeared in
these our days. a man named Jesus Christ
who is yet living among us, and of the Gen
tiles is accepted as Prophet of great truth;
but his own disciples call him the son of God
He hath raised the dead. He is man of
stature somewhat tall and comely, with very
ruddy countenance, such as the beholder may
both love and fear. His hair is the color Of
the fllbert when fully ripe, plain to his ears,
when downward it is more orient of color,
curling and waving about his shoulders in
the middle of his head is seam or partition
Of long hair, after the manner of tie Naza-'
rites His forehead is plain and delicate; his
face is without spot or wrinkle, beautiful with
a comely red; his nose and mouth are exact
ly formed; his beard Is of the color of his hair
and thick, not of great length but forked.-
In reproving, he is terrible; in admonishing,
courteous; in proportion ofbody, well shaped
in speaking very modest and wise None
have seen him laugh, but many have seen
him weep A man for his surprising beauty,
eXceling all the children of men.

The Wandering Jew.

The legend of the jew, ever wandering, and
never dying, even from the crucifyion of
Jesus to the present day, spread over the
Eastern countries. The accounts, howev er
as in fables, do not agree. One version is
this:
When Jesus was led to death, oppressed by
the weight of the cross, he wished to rest at
the gate, at the house of Ahasuerus This
man, however, sprang forward and thrust him
away Jesus turned towards him, saying:
81 shall rest, but thou shalt move on until
my return"
And from that time he has had no rest and
is obliged incessantly to wander about
Another version is that given by Matthias
Pasisienthis, d Monk of the thirteenth century
When Jesus was led from the tribunal OF Pl-
atus to death, the doorkeeper, named Cartat-
fious pushel him from behind with his feet,
walk on, Jesus, quickly; why dost thou
tarry?'
Jesus looked at him gravel and said
81 walk on, but thou shalt tarry ill come y
And this man, still alive, w' 'nders from
Mace to place, in constant dread OF the wrath
to come.
Still third legend adds, that this wander
ing jew falls sick every hundred years, but
RECEIVERS and renews his strength, hence it is,
even after omany centuries, that he does not
look much older than a septuagenarian.
This much for the legends. Not one of the
ancient authors make even mention of such
an account The first who reports such a
thing is monk of the thirteenth century,
when, as is known, the world was filed with
pious fiction, even to disgust HoweveEa the
story has been spread far and vide, SO that II
has become proverb 'He guns about like
the wandering jew
