RUIN OF THE Soun.-The Albany Journal
gives the substance Of conversation between
Gov. Brown and prominent New Yorker, who
visited the Governor In the old Capitol Prison
a few days before his release:
As our friend took him by the hand, the
ruined Governor burst into tears. In reply to
n question rs to the condition Of the State Of
Georgia and the temper of its people, he said :
ave are utterly broken down and crushed
We are completely at the mercy Of our con-
querors. Our punishment Is terrible our
sutferings are almost greater than we can bear.
Nearly all the young men-the educated young
men-the sons of the wealthy citizens-haye
fallen in battle or died Of disease incident to the
camp. Most Of the middle aged men have met
with similar fate.
Three fourths Of oil the old men have either
died broken hearted or been driven from their
homes. The few that remain are virtually re-
duced to beggary. The power Of the wealthy
classes is destroyed. Men who, few years
ago, were millionaires, are now forced to ac-
cept charity ut the hands Of our military COM
handlers. The poor white masses are reduced
to starvation; the blacks are suffering all the
worst consequences Of the violent sundering OF
the old social relations. In short concluded
Gov. Brown, "society Is In u condition OF an-
archy. Could the people of the North know
how utter is our ruin, they would pity US In
spite Of their adherence Of what they consider
our Treason against the Government"

BRurAL.-A man in Boston wagered 81 ;.
900 that his horse could be driven from that
city to Portland, ll6 miles, between sun and
sun. Starting Wednesday morn at 4. 25 he
reached Saco at 4.S0 p. m. stopping two
hours at Portsmouth and 20 minutes at Saco
When within six miles OF Portland the horse
dropped dead. The parties concerned in the
matter deserved to be indicted. We hear it
stated that the feat has been performed, but
il was in cold weather. The horse was no.
bic looking animal. and our opinion is. If
properly fed and driven, would have won.
The horse was piled with Jamaica rum which
was his only stimulus. and the driving, nc
cording to our theory, was stupid. The first
FIVE hours he was driven Mt the rate Of IL
miles an hour! He reached Kenncbunk at
$50 apparently in good condition. There
was then time enough remaining to have
,caiked the horse to Portland, when instead
he was driven the nine miles to Saco in one
hour. too much Tor an ordinary fresh horse.
A needless half mile was travelled over in
reaching the Ssco stable. The brute's (uot
the horse's) name was Bracket.

GENERAL GRANTS RIGHT HAND.-We copy
the following singular story from Wilkes
Spirit Of the Times.
We see it stated in the papers that Gen.
Grants right hand was 30 badly swollen by
the time he reached Buffalo that he had to
do his shaking with the left. If this report
is true. we know how his right hand became
disabled, and an explanation Of the cause
will reveal another of his traits Of character,
which will not foil to greatly impress the
public. During the Generals overwhelming
impromptu reception ut the Aston House, in
this city, a tall, athletic man. who came in
turn, after gripping his hand firmly. coin.
menced wrenching 1t till the elbow turned
painfully IN the socket. Perceiving the fel.
lows object, the General, who has himself q
powerful grippe, suddenly twisted the rufian.
ly hand back, and looking for an instant
steadily into its owners eye, contented him-
self with throwing 1t Of, and with merely
saying, in an undertone, which was not
heard even by member of his staff. "You
internal rascal | ought to knock you down !"
He then released him, and the villain, glad
to be let of in this way, hurriedly slid through
the crowd. The forbearance of Gen. Grant
in enduring this outrage, his bare mention
of which would have subjected the aggressor
to have been torn to pieces, Is indicative of
great magnanimity and force OF character.

The ESCAPE OF BREcKINRIDGE. Cores
pondence from Havana gives the details OF
the escape to Cuba. The persons acconpa-
nying him are Col. Wilson, ex.aide to JEFF
Davis; Taylor Wood, ex.commander of the
Tallahassee Corpl. Russell, two private SOL
diers and faithful negro servant, who re.
fused to abandon his master (Breckinridge)
in the hour Of extremity and peril. Brock
inridge and Wilson were within 40 miles ol
JEFF. Davis when he was captured, expecting
to join him next day, and Wood was actual.
ly with Davis. but made his escape.
Tho party then crossed Georgia into Flor.
ida. descending st. Johns river In boat to
Jupiter's Inlet, where they were met by a
party Of ieserters from the rebel army. From
these they got better boat, which thoy
dragged across the country till they reached
the sea, where they launched their little YES
eel, and sailed for the coast of Cuba, which
they were fortunate to reach after three days
and nights, passed almost entirely without
eating or sleeping. They were once over.
hauled by Union gunboat, but escaped by
pretending to DO paroled prisoners turned

vTha, was an exceedingly pretty answer

VThat was an exceedingly pretty answer
of Gen. Grant at the Chicago Fair. The
assembly demanded speech FROM Gen Shsr-
man, who excused himself by few words Of
praise of the Lieutenant General whom he
would always DO proud to follow and obey.
and he was sure his old commander would
not order him to make speech. Thereupon
the populace cried out, "order him to make
