Rebel Women in Richmond.

A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle says "Of the women in
Richmond l might write volumes.
They have much to answer for. They
have been sorely misled by the press
and the pulpit. They have credited
the falsehoods Of the one and been se-
duced by the religious CLOSES sf the
other. The Confederate cause got to
be identified with their domestic peace
and their religious connections, and it
is rending of the heartstrings to see ii
fall. They have lost no opportunity
to stimulate the pride and tagging
hopes of the sterner sex. hate the
Yankees said young girl amid her
companions. If ever have any chill
dren, even though Lee is beaten, l will
bring them up in eternal hatred Of
those who have subdued u.s. Our
hostility said another, is invincible ;
| shall never do anything but hate
those who have deprived US Of our
rights should never have been will
ling to yield if it had not been yield
or starve, and life is sweet But the
most violent bear testimony to the
good conduct Of our troops, and the
universal acknowledgement was that
they could hardly believe their own
eyes, the Yankees had behaved &c
much better than they expected"

The New British Minister.

Sir Frederick Bruce's interview will
President johnson was as informal anc
as undiplomatic as President Lincoln
himself could have made IL. This new
Minister made his appearance with all
his stars and decorations on, present
ed his credentials, and formally read
his speech. Mr.. johnson replied, say.
ing that he was glad TO see him, and
to welcome to the Capital a represent,
ative of Great Britain, and then ad.

But, sir, | am not much used TO
the diplomatic formalities customary
on such occasions. My idea is simply
that two great nations ought to con-
duct their relations very much as two
neighbors who sincerely desire peace
and good fellowship between them
selves would do, and that the less
mere fQrmalities about it the better y
"I assure. you, Mr.. President inter-
rupted Sir Frederick, pointing to his
uniform and decorations, that
should feel very much more at ease
without these things than with them .
The remark was so thoroughly Eng
lish, and at the same time 50 conso-
nant to American prejudice against
fuss and feathers, that the President
and Minister became friends at once,
and sat down for a chat. Sir Frede-
rick asked about Sherman. President
johnson explained the position.
s." What chance is there for Mr.. Davis,
then ?" asked Sir Frederick. "Oh a
small particle still /; doubtless his, es-
cape across the country" said the
President. Well," replied the Minis
ter, in an inquiring tone, al should
think that Mr.. Davis and few men,
bers of his cabinet would probably
find it well to start pretty soon ?" "If
they know what is for their own inter-
est" responded the President, rather
grimly, they had better lose no time
about it, The time has come" he ad-
ded, when traitors must be taught
that they arc criminals. The country
has clearly made up its mind on that
point, and it can find no more earnest
agent of its will than myself"
There was then renewal Of the mu-
tual promise to talk over any difficult
ties that might arise between Great
Britain and the United States like two
neighbors sincerely desirous Of good
terms with each other, and so the inter-
view ended. ... .-.... s...

There are several lodges campet
near Virginia, and their subsistence il
almost wholly from the offal of beeves
around the slaughter houses. Their
complexion is darker than that of any
other tribe l have seen. The lightest
colored are the Crows. and they are
also the brightest. On account Of
their large size and dignified manner
they remind us of the noble chiefs OF
whom we have read. But notwith-
standing all this, we know they are
savages and are not over friendly.
They prefer to retain all their peculiar
traits of character, and manifest no de-
sire to mingle with the whites-well
knowing that this would be the first
step towards their humiliation.

IETTER FROM .nOx. JOHN A. GTIMER.

Hon. John A. Gilmer, Of North Carolina, has
published letter in vindieation of his political
course concluding as follows;
irst argued and demonstrated against the war
and endeavored to avert the consequences, and
the only regret ! have in this is that so very
few came hes to my aid, (in seasVn,) either in
Congress or out of it. When the country was pre-
cipitated and fully committed TO the war ventnred
to advise and say what conceived would be the
consequences if conquest ensned. For this war,
before God and my country, in my conscience and
in my soul l feel guiltless.
This brings me TO the point in which you de-
sire more particularly TO hear me. am for peace
and order-I am for the Federal Government and
for the State government, and am for getting the
same into operation speedily ne the same can be
safely and prudenty done, on the terms proposed.
We are powerleSs. We are in a state Of sub
mission. have yielded land in n manner salts
factory TO my slaves and to the Government, /
trust to the emancipation required. True, should
have preferred other terms. But to talk OF these
now is useless and ont Of place, and in my opinion
it is unwise to think Of or suggest any fnrther
resistance am opposed to all further rebellion.
Let us strive, by willing and ready submission, TO
secure amnesty and a modification of the confs-
cation and other laws. Let us keep the peace,
and infuse brotherly kindness among ourselves and
Danish forever all heart -burnings growing out of
past differences of opinion Let all those be buried
in the past. We should honestly unite in putting
the management of our affairs into the hands OF
our wisest and best men, and ask the blessing of
Providence on their deliberations and labors.-
Let our united exertions be directed TO the eleva-
ton of the material, social, and moral condition
Of the State rather than range about petty diff
erences and in due season, with Gods blessing, all
will be well with us again. Let us be honest our
selves, secure industry and fair dealing among and
with ALL white and black and get back to the good
old times, when the farmers grain was safe in bis
pen or his crib, without the aid OF locks or bolts,
and his stock safe in his pasture-whcn all could
lie down at night and soundly repose, under full
confidence that they would rise in the morning
and find nothing disturbed. Let us have charity
for each other, aud love our neighbor as ourselves
Give proper and attention 10 moral and religi
