RESTORATION OF THE UNIoN.-The
New York Times closes sensible arti-
Gle on this subject with the subjoined
remarks:
We are glad to see indications
that the schemes of reconstruction
now before Congress are likely to be
abandoned or to fail. They are utter
ly needless, and may prove mischiey-
oas. 1t is absurd, while fighting reb-
els TO preserve the Union, to be max
ing laws intended to keep or drive
them out of it. We need no laws on
the subject, nor would any that may
now be passed have the slightest bind
ing force. Whenever the people Of
the Southern States cease firing, the
war is over and the Union is restored.
Each branch of Congress, 1t is true,
may refuse to admit their members to
seats, but that will not affect their
status in the Union; and If one, or
two, OF three successive Congresses
should persist in this refusal, it is
quite certain that sooner or later a
Congress will be elected which will
admit them; and then the State OF
Georgia will-not re-enter the Union
but resume her functions IN the Un'on.
This is the view Of the case uniformly
presented and acted on by the Presi.
dent and it is certain, in our Judg-
ment TO be the one acted on by Con-
gress and the country"

The London TINES publishes letters
from General Lee, furnished by its
Richmond correspondent as follows.
One of the letters is addressed to Gen.
Scott, and contains General Lees res
ignation of his commission after rer-
vice of quarter Of century. The
other, addressed to a sister, enters
more fully INTO the feelings which die
tated that step, and which animated
the southern leaders at that time:
ARLINGTON Virginia, April 20, 1861.
GESERAL--Since my interview with you ON the
18th inst, have felt that l ought not longer TO
retain my commission In the army. l. therefore,
tender my resignation, which l request you will
recommend for acceptance IL would have been
presented at once bat for the struggle it has cost
me To separate myself from service 10 which
have devoted the all best years Of my life, and al
the ability possessed.
During the whole Of that time-more than
quarter of century, have experienced nothing
but kindness from my superiors, and the most
cordial friendship from my comrades To no one,
General, have l been so much indebted as TO
yourself for uniform kindness and consideration,
and II has always been my ardent desire 10 merit
your appreciation. i shall carry 10 the grave the
most grateful recollections Of your kind consd-
GRAFTON, and ysur name and fame will always be
dear TO me.
Save in defense of my native State, never
again desire to draw my sword be pleased to
accept my earnest wishes for the continuance of
your happiness and prosperity, and believe me
most truly yours, X. Il. LEE
Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, command
ing United States army.
A copy Of the preceding letter was enclosed in
tho following letter to sister of the General,
Mrs. A. M:
ARLINGTON, Virginia, April 20, 1861.
MY DEAR SISTER, am grieved at my inabil-
ity to see you. i have been waiting for 'mors
convenient season" which has brought to many
before me deep and lasting regret. Now we are
in state Of war; which will yield 10 nothing -
The whole South is in n state of revolution, into
which Virginia, after long struggle, has been
drawn and though 4 recognize no necessity for
this state u things, and would have forborne
and pleaded TO the end for redress OF grievances,
real or supposed, yet in my own person had TO
meet the question irhsther tr0uid take part
against my ndiire STATE With all my devo-
ton TO the Onion, and the feeling of loyalty
and duty of American citizen, have not
been able TO make up my mind to raise my hand
against my relatives, my children, my home
hare, therefore, resigned my commission in the
Army, and, save In defense Of my native State,
With the hope that my poor services may never
be needed, 1 hope may never be called on to
draw my sword.
/ know you will blame me, but you must think
ne kindly Of me rs you can, and believe that
have endeavored TO do what thought right. To
show you the feeling and struggle il cost me, 1
send copy Of my letter to General Scott, which
accompanied my resignation. A have NO time

yours. and shower upon you every blessing, Is
the prayer Of your devoted brother.

TOO TRUE.


1t is fact which none seem dis
posed 10 gainsay, that there is de-
generacy in the present Congress as
compared with that of any period
from the foundation of the govern
neur down TO the latter days of mar
row mindedness and fanatacism, which
speaks poorly for the progress of the
nation in matters of craftsmanship,
intellect, education, honesty, dignity
or moral worth-
The following extract from Wash

qnestionably the views of every other
We'll inforaed and unprecedented gen
tloman in the land:
Congress now is not what it was in
the DAYS when it had its men. There
are no Websters, or Clays, or Adamses
or Calhouns, Notwithstanding his
crrorsl now, These have passed, away
and tier places remain untitled. In
point of talent Congress haas become
sadly degenerated There Is no tow
ering, lofty and gifted statesman for
n leader in either House of Congress.
The most gifted among them are but
dwarfs compared to the statesman of
the past. No wonder then that the
Senate is sometimes called "debat-
ing club" and the House "bear
garden"
The Senate makes some pretentions

In the Senate one can hear thirty

rustling of papers. and fifty stentorian
voices all screeching at once. Mr..

immense Destruction Of Property.

1CoIl hCblOh VI LiOHSIty.
This morning, Thursday, Jan. 26,
a fire occurred, originating in the
north store Of Hess, new brick block
occupied by ]. b. r. Gravier as
Liquor store, which resulted in one of
the most disastrous conhagrations ever
experienced in tiiis City, destroying
the extensive Wholesale Drug Store
of Frizelle Bros, the Post Office build
ing, Duacan's Drug Store, r. Dun
cans Clothing Store and several other
establishments, and resulting in a loss
which must materially effect the pres
ent prosperity of the City.
The fire was first discovered about
2 o'clock A. NJ in the shelving on
the right hand side of the Gravier
store, about midway between the front
and rear, and before any considerable
number of citizens could be aroused
the alarm being feeble, the weather
intensely cold, and the hour one which
usually finds people in the soundest
sleep-the flames had enveloped the
whole building, and stimulated by
strong eoutherly wind they soon
spread over the entire block between
Marks Brick Clothing Store, on Gen
see street, and Koehler's brick block
on Washington street, making a clean
sweep of everything in their progress.
A considerable portion Of the
movable property, however, was
saved, tho main efforts being thus di-
rected rather than in any attempt to
stop the conAagration, which, fren, tl.a
first, with the means at hand, seemed
altogether irropressible.
We give below hastily collected
account of the losses:

GENERAL BUTLER RECOMMENDED TO
BE SHoT.-The Cincinnati Commercial
administration concludes an article
on the removal of General Butler, as
follows:
His farewell order shows so unmil-
itary a spirit, and is so nearly muffin
Gus, that it may be well questioned
whether he should not be shot for it.
He said:
Knowing your willing obedience
to orders, witnessing your ready de-
votion of your blood in your country's
cause, have been chary of the pre-
cious charge confded to me. have
refused to order useless sacrifices of
the lives Of such soldiers, and / am
relieved from your command"
To the extent of General Buffers
influence, that order must demoralize
the army that he commanded. For
tunately the troops were not enamored
of him in the intense degree that he
says he was of them.
He tells them he was removed be-
cause he would not order them to the
slaughter, therefore some body is put
in command who will see that their
blood is wasted. Does he call him
self military man, and patriot,
and write such stuff as this? He
would have no difficulty, shrewd and
sharp logician that he is, to show that
any one else in his place was traitor.

At the opening of the debate in

nounced, and a determination express

A commission was issued to inquire

GREAT AsD GooD.--The following
item from Biaekwood is decidedly con.
soling to some folks"
1t is notable fact in criminal sta
tistics that no fat man was over con-
victed of the crime of murder. Stout
people are not reyengeful; nor, as a
general rule, are they agitated by
gusts Of passion. Few murderers
weigh more than ten stone. There
are, however, exceptions, which justify
us in assuming eleven as tho utmost
limit of the sliding scale, but beyond
that there is no impulse toward homi-
eide. Seldom has such phenome-
non as fat house, breaker been par
AIDED ut criminal bar. 1t is your
lean, wiry fellow who works with the
skeleton keys, forces himself through
closet windows which seemingly would
scarcely suffice for the entrance of the
necessary cat, steals with noiseless
step along the lobby and up the stairs,
glides into the chamber sacred for
more than half century to the ohaste
repose of the gentle Tabitha, and
with husky voice, and tho exhibition
of ali enormous carving-knife, COM
mands silence on pain of instant death,
and delivery of her cash and jewels.
1t is your attenuated thief who insin-
yates himself under beds, skulks be-
hind counters, dives into tills, or makes
prey of articles of commerce arrayed
at shop doors for the temptation of
the credulous passenger. A corpulent
burglar is as much out of place, and
as little to be feared, as was Falstaf
at Gadshill, and what policeman ever
yet gave chase to depredator as
bulky as bullock9 Corpulence, we
maintain, is the outward sign not only
of good constitution, but OF inward
rectitude and virtue.

SLAVERY reached America in 1920,
in the following manner: A dutch
ship which came from the Guinea
coast landed several negroes at the
James River. As there were already
white slaves, 1T was considered quite
proper to have black ones. Virginia
tried several times to stop the impor-
tation of this fatal merchandise. 1t
was England which, through interest
for its merchants, favored Inc traffic
This was one of the arguments used
by Jefferson in the Declaration Of
1776. With grave earnestness, he
accuses Great Britain Of having in
flicted slavery upon America-and he
is right.

CURIOUS ExPENsEs.-Among the I'M
necessary uses made by the Sanitary
Commission, of the money contributed
to relieve the sufferings of our soldiers
in the field, is the publication of a
book extensively gotten up and largely
circulated. 1t is described by the
New York Express as follows:
"There is a Book, 2S3 pages long,
printed for the United States Sanitary
Commission. 1t has pictures in it, q
long medical report from DIR. Wallace,
an appendix with evidence, &c. 1t is
full Of the suffering of our prisoners
and of negroes, &c. 1t is very good
sort of book, but Appleton & Co.
ought to print it, or Carleton, or Tick
nor, or some book publisher. Us'ng
the contributions made for the s'ck an this
,cay is worse than a perversion OF
trust. How can any one give with
heartiness, if such utter waste is made
Of charity.
