A AERTI,H


Webster defines beetle in these words:
"A heavy mallet or wooden hammer,
used to drive wedges, beat pavements,
etc.. having one, two, or three handles,
for a. many men to use it : called, also, a
stamper or rammer." Our readers will
perhaps remember that about the 18th Of
last November, our neighbors Of Silver
City obtained cord Of mountain mahog-
any, and prepared to have it sawed up
into walking canes-the saving being
done on the loss Of bet as to which can
didate was elected President Lincoln or
Mcclellan. The friend of Little Mac. lost,
of course, and he very honestly sawed the
wood, one day, in the presence Of a large
and admiring crowd Of spectators. In
addition to the canes. the mountain ma
hogany has been turned to various other
useful and ornamental purposes - such
as chess-boards, cribbage-boards, sugar
crushers, picture frames, etc., the proceeds
of all Of which have been donated to the
Sanitary Fund. But there is one article
which has been made thatbut few persons,
except at Silver City, have heard anything
about-and that is, a splendid Beetle has
been made, the whole being handsomely
mounted with heavy rings Of pure Washoe
silver. (Uncle Joe Trench, we believe, is
entitled to the credit Of furnishing the
bullion bands or rings.) The Beetle is to
be sent to the East on the steamer of the
23d inst, in care Of the Rev. Mr.. Chaplin,
and is to be exhibited at the Great Chicago
Fair, as a specimen Of Washoe mahogany
and silver. After the Fair, it is to be for
mally presented to ABRAHAM LINCOLN as
a token of remembrance from his many
and warm admirers in that truly loyal
little town Of Silver, State Of Nevada.
The present is very pretty. it is appropri-
ate. and we doubt not will remind Uncle
Abe Of 2 "little story" not only Of driv-
ing home wedges, but also of the grand
naulin9 he has given the rebels for the last
four wears.

THE NEWS.

The cry is " still it comes" and it come:
pretty thick. General Lees surrender was
apretty rough affair on the gigantic, stu
pendous. uneonquerablc, last-ditch Con.
federacy, as it would seem from the
figures. General Lee himself, three Lieu
tenant. Generals, sixry-one Brigadier- Gen.
erals, and between 10000 and %, 900 men.
Among theSGenerals surrendered are
Longstreet, Ewell. Moseby and Bushrod
johnson. Among the Commissioners
named to carry out the terms of surrender.
were Pemberton, who surrendered Vicks-
burg. and Henry A. Wise, who immor-
talized himself by capturing and hanging
old John Brown. We respect. in a GER
tain sense, several Of the Generals named I;
but that gorgeous brasgart and internal
coward, Henry A. Wise, ought to be ex-
cepted from any Amnesty Act, and al
lowed to walk, free and unfettered. the
balance of his life. branded as an out
law, a coward and felon. Damn
him, and damn the man that would
not damn him-the dirty dog.
Forrest and Roddy, who have been
more troublesome to US than many of
greater pretensions, are now in our hands,
and their career is ended.
General Lee is in New York.
Lynehburg, "the last ditch" surren-
dered the day before yesterday.
General Lee will probably pass the
remnant of his days in European exile.
With all the mans faults, We pity him in
his prospective lifelong misery, the fruit
If his, no doubt sincere, but misguided
judgment. Let the veil of oblivion fall
upon his errors.

JOHN BULL PRAIsINa OUR GEN.
ERALS.

During the earlier stages Of the war
John Bull spoke very CONTEMPORARY Of
our Generals. The London Timss char
acterized the campaign Of Mcclellan on
the Peninsula as "the most melancholy
failure in history" Even the capture Of
Port Donelson and Vicksburg failed to
extort any commendation from the blus-
tering old fault-inder. But the more re-
cent splendid successes of Sherman, Sher-
idan, Thomas and Terry, have compelled
even English critics to admit that our
campaigns have exhibited some of the best
generalsh,p of the age. A writer in the
Edinburg Rerieso even goss so far as to
compliment Gen. Sherman military cor
respondence, which it says "will certainly
bear comparison with anything Of its class
which modern military literature can pro-
duce," while other generals are not far
behind him. He also pays glowing trib-
ute 70 the generalship Of Grant, and
speaks of his maneuvering at the battle
of Chattanooga as " tactical achieve
ment far filter to be classed with the best
feats of Napoleon and Wellington than
any won BY European General since the
days of those giants Of war;" One Of the
leading English journals characterized
Sherman's great raid through Georgia a.
one Of the greatest achievements Of mod
ern times. Other tributes to the general
ship of our commanders, equally warm,
have been rendered by English statesmen
and presses.
The fact speaks volumes. 1t proves
that, however much England may hate,
she is compelled, 70 respeet rs; and that
however unweleome the truth, she cannot
shut her eyes to theft that we are teach
ing her and the crest Of mankind anew
and important Lesson in the AT Of war.

this morning contained an item from Albany,
New York, giving as the result Of their city
election, held on the 18th inst, that the dim
micrats had carried their ticket by a majority
Of 1870. Al of which proves that either the
Union party had very poor and in
competent ticket out; that the dimmicrats
had the best men up; or that there is more
ignorance in Albany than that city has been
credited for BY the world at large.

ST. KITS.

An act has been passed and come into
operation in ST. Kitts-appointing Police
Magistrates TO perform the service hither-
to gratuitously rendered by Justices of
the Peace. A Court of appeal has also
been established, which is said to be in
expensive; it is composed of the Chief
Justice, the Attorney General, and a Com
missioner. The following notice res
pecting it appears in the Gazette OF the
23d ullimo:-
"The Act authorizing the appointment
of two Police Magistrates for this Island,
has at length come into operation; and
The system Of honorary magistracy which
has been in existence for a lumber of
years in this Island is now numbered
among the things of the past. The gen.
tIemen appointed TO these Offices are the
Hon. F. Spencer WigIey Attorney Gener-
al for the Town of Basseterre, and W.
H. Davis, Esp for the Rural District
the oaths of Office having been admins
teredsrespectively on Saturday last. This
Bill also provides for the constitution of
what is termed an inexpensive Court of
Appeal to be composed of the Chief JUS
tice, The Aiiorney-General, and a Com
missioner. Though The bench of honorary
justices has been dispensed with, we
think we are in duty bound to award
their Worships the thanks Of the public
