LETTER FROM GENERAL LEE.-Gen. r.
E. Lee has written letter to gentle
man in Petersburg, Va, who publishes the
following extract from it:
alt should be the object of all to avoid
controversy, to allay passion, give free
scope to reason and every kindly feeling.
By doing this, and encouraging our citi-
zens to engage in the duties of-life with
all their heart and mind, with a deterIni-
nation not to be turned aside by thoughts
of the past or fears Of the future, our
country will not only he restored in me-
terial prosperity but will be advanced in

UNTIMELY GALLANTRY.-The st. Louis
zatelliqencer states that a few nights since,
after the family of q Mr.. Fitch, residing
in the city, had retired to rest, fellow
named Richard Smith, having by some
means got into the house, entered the
apartment of y young lady, and rifctl the
drawers of bareau OF its contents, con-
sisting of somo thirty dollars in money. q
gold chain and other articles of jcwelry-.
Thus far the operation was exceedingly
commonplace; but not content with his
acquisition of valuables, theimpudcnt ras-
cal could not think of parting with their
fair owner without leaving her some to-
ken Of his nocturnal visit. SO stepping
up to the bed where she lay, EMBODIED in
the arms of Morpheus, he imprinted on
her ruby lips one parting kiss. Whether
it was the report that must have necessa
rily followed one of the right sort, OF
something else that awakened her, we dc
not learn but ere the sentimental char
could beat a retreat, the fair hand of the
damsel was found graphing the skirts O
his coat, while her voice called loudly fol
help. The house was soons aroused, ano
Smith arrested and consigned to the Gala
boose, to repent at leisure.

Paving old Debts.

J
The heavy trade done lin New YorE
since the close of the war is spoken Of by
correspondent of the Washington Re
publican, who writes rs follows:
Traders her understand, and are acting
upon the fact, that while the rebellion
leaves the South poor in certain localities
it Isl as whole, reasonably wealthy
there being between one and half and
two million bales Of cotton remaining in
possession of the leading traders and
planters of. the South, which, at present
prices, is equal in value to six. million
bales before the rebellion This, it is be-
loved, will give the South o large margin
with which to pay off old debts and'pro-
cure new supplies. If the South will re-
construct their system Of labor in good
faith, doing justice to the freedmen upon
the basis indicated and sincerely hoped
for by Presidents Lincoln and Johnson, it
is estimated by those who arc good judges
in such matters, that in ten years they
will be worth more than they were before
the war, and with much brighter pros
pect ahead. Shrcwd business men here
argue that, as the war forced a wonderful
and unexpected development of resources
in the rebellious States, as surprising to
the,Southcrn people themselves as to any
others, that they will heed the lesson ad-
ministcrcd, and turn it to good account in
the future. They have been forced to
learn that they can produce something
besides cotton and tobacco, and that they
can produce it themselves, if necessary,
without the aid of slaves 1t will surprise
many to learn the scal fact about the pre-
sent development Of Southern trade. The
larger proportion Of the present trade
from the South is either cash or cotton
security. This is not only good sign of
the times, but we are able and permitted
to say, from having seen the figures, that
of the very large sum due Clafin, Mclcn
E Co. (now Clafih g. Coz from the rebel
lious Statcs.a at the outbreak of the rebel
lion, about sevcnty-fve per cent. has al
ready been realized, and about fifty per
cent has actually been paidi This is u
good record, and looks like an earnest de-
termination on the part of Southern mer-
chants, not only to restore tAeUnion, but
to rc-cstabish that confidence among the
business commua:ty which formerly .cx-
listed. There is another rcason.fo forsa aging
this. Trade, as we'll as government, is
being rc-organizcd upon a firmcr Basis
than before, especially so far as the South
is concerned. I refer 10 the fact that tho
old system of credits, having been broken
up by the rebellion, is not to be renewed.
Southern traders are satisfied that for
cash and short. credit. they can obtain
goods cheaper make more money, and
accumulate q fortune sooner. This is the
now order of things, and the merchants
from tho South, who are getting to be
quito numerous here just now, show q
cheerful disposition to submit to it grace
fully, knowing that it will be for their
best. It's gratifying to observe, also,
that they ore met by our merchants in
spirit of,cordislity and libcrality evidently
not anticipated.
