al VI N. B" an intelligent cOrrespou-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette, now tra-
yelling in Virginia, writes as follows to
that paper in regard to the success of the
rebels under the present mode of "reeon-
structiOn" In the Old Dominion. His
statement deserves 70 be pOnaered:
The most careless observer, after passing
through Virginia, will turn away from the
State sick at heart, feeling that It IS to-day
as completely in the hands of the rebels az
before their surrender. Unless some future
remedy can be devised to correct the fatal
errors which have shaped the re-entering
of the State into the Union, power hiss
been established that will long bs q clog
upon all advance in the path which the
country has baptized with its richest blood.
It Is cause for sadness to be obliged 10 feel
that one single advantage which the coun-
try has gained at such q cost is to be need
lessly sacrificed. It deepens the sorrow to
know that political intrigue is accomplish
ing this, and that the chief workers are
men fresh from the battle fields OF treasoni
who are IS bitter as when the strife was
hereest, and whose prejudice and hate
against the North are as deep as ever

The captured correspondence batween
the rebel General Slaughter and the Impe-

Rio 9rsnde TO Mexico, through the con-
trivances of the Mexican authorities sub
sequent 20 the surrender of Kirby Smith.
If official inquiry proves the correctness Of

a Neu Astronomical Theory.

A new English astronomer, Mr.. r.
Proctor, of st. Johns College, Cambridge,
who has Just published an elaborate book
on the planet Saturn, believes Saturns
rings to be not continuous bodies, either
solid or fluid, but multitude of loose plan
cts, q ouped like bead necklace round his
eoustorisI regions, Just IS if we were
furnished, not with one moon merely, but
with as many moons as would span the
whole earth. Mr.. Proctor asserts that
this hypothesis explains more completely
the whole phenomena of the case than any
other. This supposition, says the London
Spectator, somehow gives larger idea of
the opulence Of the universe in worlds
than any other known fact. To have such
a multitude of little worlds strung close to-
pether round one planet, prOcuces (illogi-
calIy enough) s more vivid impression on
the mind than many more times the num-
ber Of axed stars distributed over the inf
nitude Of space
