GENERAL GRANTS family, located at
Burlington, New Jersey. a newspaper cor
respondent writes, rare still there, occu-
plying a trim little cottage, on quiet
street running from the heart of the town
down to the banks Of the Delaware. The
place is by NO means pretentious or aris-
tocratic, and has nothing at all to distin-
guish it from Its neighbors, having, per-
haps, been selected for that very reason by
the wife of our greatest General who is
equally as plain and practical minded as
himself. At almost any hour of the day,
passing the cottage, you will zee stout
rosy-faced girl probably eight or ten
years Of age, trundling her hoop on the
sidewalk or playing in the. yard; and il
you have seen the Lieutenant General, or
any of the better pictuSes of him; you will
not need be told that this robust, laughing
girl is his ehild-Nellie Grant. Like

"Soc1AL ANENITI. Abiding to the
recent lobscouse party given at San Fran
cisco by General McDowelrs wife, where
"social smenity" prevailed and ''priyste
differences of opinion" were ignored, the
San Jose Courier says:
"The party seems to have been gotten
up for mutual admiration, as all classes
were invited, Of whatever political COM
ple1ion. II must have been delightful
gathering. and the topics of conversation,
particularly between the women, lively
and interesting. Think of Mrs. -, who
has son in one of the slaughter pens Of
the South, lamenting his sufferings to
Mrs. -, whose brother is in the rebel
army, and perhaps doing duty in front Of
that same pen. The first battle Of Bull
Run would have furnished Erely topic
between Mrs. Mcdowell and some fair
one, whose sympathies are with the South.
The General could have made some inter-
esting hits upon this topic"

Retaliation.

If we were at war with cannibals who
ate alive the prisoners whom they took
from our armies, we could not retaliate in
kind. II we were fighting Indians who
burned their captives at the stake, we
could not retaliate in kind. We are at
war with men whom the long habit OF en-
shaving other men has .imbruted and bar
barized, and who starIe and freeze to
death the prisoners who fall into their
hands. or the fact there can be no fea-
sonable doubt. The testimony is seonelu-
Sive. Nor is there any reason why men
who do not hesitate in time OF peace 70
force other men to work for them WITHOUT
wages, that they may live in idleness and
call themselves gentlemen" should De
reluctant to expose their prisoners to star
Walton. 1t is not 80 barbarous to atarye
prisoner who has been fighting against
you as 1t is to whip a man to death
because he will not work for you Tor
nothing. q.
What ought to be done: 1t is queS-
ton which is constantly asked and Is not
easy to answer. 1t is estimated that we
have some sixty thousand rebel prisoners,
and that the rebels have about forty-hye
thousand loyal men in their hands. II
we exchange them man for man we give
the staggering rebellion fresh army;
That is one Of the purposes Of the rebel
starvation Of our men. Yet how can we
relieve their unhappy condition if they are
not exchanged!
Retaliation is a policy authorized by
the customs Of all nations. 1t has its
limits Of course. With us the object OF
retaliation would be to put an end to the
torture OF loyal men,. But it could not
use torture as a means. Northern men
would not tolerate it. They are not used
to seeing women whipped for so LOVING
their children a. to try to save them from
being sold at the shambles, and they could
not starve helpless men to death.
But if retaliation does not admit torture
it does allow death. Retaliation need not
necessarily be in kind. II it be wise to
resort to it at all in the present instance
and Of that there must always be ques-
tion-then for the Union prisoners put to
death by the slow agony of starvation and
exposure, certain designated rebel prison.
ers should be shot to death. When two
Union officers were to be hung in Bich-
mond the prompt order of the Govern
ment that two rebel officers in our hands
should suffer the same fate saved our men.
So when the rebel officers were placed in
the trenches before Charleston, it procur-
ed the release of Union officers who had
been put under fire. And when retalia-
ton on either side has been carried to
extremity it has not occasioned general
massacre, as some unwise persons pre-
dicted.
The question at best is very difficult.
No Government ought to be severely GEN.
sured either for refusing to reinforce its
enemy's army, or for declining to destroy
prisoners of war. To justify retaliation
in the abstract is very easy /: to advise it
in specific instance is to assume very
solemn responsibility.-Harper's Weekly.

~1u1Ne STOCKS IN THE EAST.

A few days since we made some re-
marks concerning the swindles which had
been perpetrated upon the people in the
Eastern States, with bogus or worthless
mining stocks. That this species Of swim
ding has been carried on to an enormous
extent, we have the evidence in the ac-
counts, given in the Eastern journals, Of
the sales made, at almost fabulous prices,
of stocks in mines, which we who live
upon the very site Of these supposed
claims know have no existence whatever.
We quoted, the other day, from New
York paper, an account Of the Common
wealth Nine" said to be located in Gold
Hill District, and said to pay "thirty
dollars per ton from only groupings"
We stated the fact that there is no such
mine in existence in this district; and that
the prospectus was gross humbug. The
Enterprise has alluded to the same subject
and in the same tone as ourselves. The
Union takes high ground, that all the
stocks that the editor knows Of ~ having
been sold in New York have been really
valuable, and that the stgmatizing Of
them a. swindlss is wrong. The editor
must certainly have overlooked many
flourishine articles which have appeared
in the Eastern papers, or it must have q
knowledge Of tho existence Of valuable
mines in our midst. which are totally I'M
known to the mass Of our citizens. We
have just been shown New York bust
ness letter, abiding to this subject, in
which the writer says:
"The fact is that all mining operations are
Just now below par, so many worthless things
put upon the market"
The writer is business man and one
who transacts business upon the stock
market. He knows exactly what he is
talking about. These swindles have been
carried on too extensively and too long,
and the Nevada press is derelict in duty
il it does not. exert itself for the exposure
of these frauds.
Those editors who are themselves en-
gagged in this dishonorable traffic may
very naturally seek to perpetuate the de-
fusion; but those who are in position to
conscientiously do their duty toward the
State, should join Sin frowning down
this imposition. Our mine owners need
capital to develope their claims, and it is
from abroad that we must seek that capt.
tai. That fact is admitted by all. It. is
another fact, that ought to be readily ap-
pretended, that every success in palming
off worthless or bogus stock upon Eastern
capitalists, is an injury to the hopes and
prospects of those who possess really
valuable claims The effect of the wild.
cat bubble upon good claims has been
bitterly experienced here already. To
commence blowing another bubble Of the
same kind in the Eastern market, is only
to precipitate upon US anotheI crash more
terribly stunning than that Of last sum-
mer, from which we are at this moment
but partially recovering. We urge upon
our Eastern exchanges to discourage all
transactions in Nevada mining stocks,
which are so far unknown as to fail Of
mention in the local press or Of quotation
in the respectable commercial journals of
the Pacific Coast.

DRRR1NeRRs VS.. GREENBAcKs.-We
were yesterday told of little affair
recently occurring in the vicinity Of Aus
tin, which establishes the precedent of a
more expeditions method of collecting
than by an appeal to the law. Awealthy
man, who has for some time been owing
another party. said publicly that he would
not pay until sued, and then in greenbacks
at par. The creditor hearing of the re-
solve called upon debtor and pressed pay
ment. Debtor swore that he owed moth
ing, and advised the other party to sue.
Creditor kept cool and asserted that the
money was really due him in gold.
Debtor became excited and gave the lie,
which was promptly returned. Debtor
remarked that he always defended his
honor, and at the same time went down
for revolver. So do l." replied credi-
tor, instantly thrusting a cooked derringer
under his opponents nose. Now, sir,
pay me what you owe me, or off comes
the top of your head" The advocate Of
greenbacks wisely considering that it
would cost less to draw his purse than his
pistol, shelled out the coin.-Rsese Rirer
