The minds Of our readers. 1t will be
that the two victims, Misses
Elv Paul and Cassie Munday, the one
y about 20 years and the other IL
:. lived together as the only inmates
house situated in retired locality in
E,ye township, Cambria county. On
i evening of the 8th June last, their
bodies we're discovered by some
4ig5Oors, that of Miss Paul lying in the
LYe o1 the premises, and that of Miss
I,1dsr in the orchard The brains of
b had been dashed out, and two care
liz prepared clubs-the instruments
|th which the bloody deed had been
|mmitted-were found near the bodies.
iss Paul was reputed to possess a con-
6erable sum Of money, and it was to
me at this, doubtless, that the murder
Is committed. Suspicion at once at
cted to two men named John Ream and
Lzid Riddle as the perpetrators of the
na; they were accordingly arrested,
dat the last session of our Court were
led au the charge and acquitted. A few
sEs subsequent to the arrest of Rean
Riddle, some Facts were developed

dhi The Hcrald's Richmond correspon,
dent rccounts an interview lie has had
4 with General Lee. lie called on him
to obtain his political Views and lay
fthen Before the public. On informing
Gen. Eeeo of his object, the latter said
l"I am a Paroled prisoner" and added,
1"phave' never been u politician' and
:, know bnt little Of poIfhcM leaders, ]
1am1a soldier.." "i He further said he was
ready to make ahy sacrrfice orperform
ahyehonorable act that would teps to
the restoration Of peace and, tranquility
1 to the country. Tie said that, as a be,
licver i'll State rights, he Had Consider
ed1his allegiance dire primarily, to his
native State. He had opposed seces-
sion, but when his State Went ont, he
FcoRsidefed IL. his pdaty to 40 with it,,
Wheiihe accepted command nnder, the
rebel government, he considered he
was serving his State. He recognized
his surrender as of military, and not
political Significance that it was not
a surrender Of the iiddctrine of State
rights. oNVhen the South was wholly
subdued oily would the doctrine of
Stateefghts be surrendered The sur
renddrliofla single army, was only q
militaryfmccessity. when the South
surrendered all its forces and returned
rtop the, Union, then only will she sur
render her favorite dottrnie of seces-
7siony That principle will then be set.
tied by military power. On this ahes
ton Of State Sovereignty, he contends
there exists II legitimate cddsus bsli..A
The question was left unsettled ia the
Convention forming the organic law,
and theliwW is destined 10 settle it
therefore, the war, raised Oh this issue,
cannot be called treason. If the South
IS forced to submit, it Of course cam
ionly beilooked lupon as the Triumph of
Federal fpo@er over State rights, and
the. forced annihilation Of the latter.--
The South have not been, and are not
yet prepared to beg for terms, but ready
to accept fair and honorable terms,
their own practical views being
considered. As to Slavery, they con-
slider IT dead, and the best men have
long been anxious to do away with it.
He especially expressed the opinion
that should. arbitrary or vihdicitive or
revengeful policies be adopted, the end
was not yet. He regarded the assas-
sination of Mr. Lincoln as a crime be-
yond excci5ition. 1t could not be ap. |
proved by any good man from any
conceivable motive. AS to the terms |
of peace. by the suggestion that. the
practical leaders only be held to a
strict accountability, he asked,
'W oul1 II be just? What has Davis
done more than any othtr southener,
tina, he should be punished? 1t is
true he has occupied prominent posi-
ton as the agent of the whole people,
hut that has made him no more or less /
a rebel than the rest. : His acts We're
the Whole people and the acts of the
whole noorlo u,a-o L. - n = ,---S,
for the commencement of
thr struggle. On the cor trary, he was
nne of the last to give9in his adherence
to the secession movement, having
strenuousiy opposed it from the outset
and portrayed its ruinous consequences
by speeches and by writigns.' 54dI
