GeneraI FulIertOn's Antecedents.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following &C.
count of General Fullertons associations and ante
cedents He seemed to be of the same stripe with
the violent enemies of the Bureau generally and ad
mirably well fitted to aid in carrying out "My
Policy, in connection with Rev. J. B. Ferguson and
Truman:
General Fullerton's present mission is to spy
out the condition, perhaps should say the evils IN
the condition of the Freedmens Bureau at the South
and report thereon He is not cheerful spectator,
and this may arise from some inherent dlsqualhca-
ton A citizen Of New Orleans, whose letter IS
published in the New York Tribune, says that with
in twenty-four hours after the Generals arrival IN
New Orleans to take command there he was seen
walking arm-in-arm on the street with slgner OF
the Louisiana secession ordinance. His intimacy
was not confined to one person OF this class. lie
dined with prominent rebels, and showed his SYM
pathy with their views by arresting every colored
man in the city-discharged soldiers among others
who could not furnish certificate of employment
from some well known person. In less than day
the tails and calabooses were full. Twoasyums for
the orphans of colored soldiers and sailors were
broken up, and the oppressive State apprentice law
was applied TO their inmates. In other words, they
were returned to their old masters, TO be kept as
virtual slaves until they were twenty-one. The
self-supportng Home Colonies for aged freedmen
we're next abolished. Two hundred schools for col
ored children, in which twenty thousand pupils
were being educated without expense to the Govern
ment were suppressed. The Freedmen's Courts
throughout the State were also broken up. General
Fulerton's administration lasted only about twenty
DAYS vet in that brief space all the above acts of
tyranny were perpetrated, and abandoned and con-
fscable property to the amount of $500, 100000
almost entirely restored to its owners. Gen. Full
erton was next heard of as the Presidents Private
Secretary and is now travelling through the South"

EXAMINATION OF THE TOMB OF THE GEN
ERAL HULL FAMILY.-This week descen-
dant Of Judge Fuller, of Revolutionary
fame, in this State, and the father-in-law of
General Hull, who died between seventy and
eighty years age, made an examination of the
family tomb, in the old burying ground be-
tween Newton Corner and Newton Centre,
and found there the remains of the Judge,
which, for fifty years or more, were in a
petrifed condition, attracting at the time
crowds Of people When last seen, twelve
years ago, they were still in that state, but
the family having taken off the lid of the
coffin to allow the air to reach the body, de-
composition has done its work, though after
the lapse of three quarters of a century
Some Slight particles of flesh adhere to the
central portion of the body. The body of
General Hull lies near by, with little left e1-
cept the bones. The body Of the faithful
negro servant of General Hull, of compar-
atiyely recent deposit, has in great part re-
turned to its original dust-BoSton Irarel-

The Expected Embarrassments Of For.
eign Travel.

A correspondent, writing to an English paper
from the continent, speaks as follows of some of
the difficulties which tourist must expect to encoun-
ter in the event of a war with Europe
1.-THE continent of Europe, France excepted
for l hold Belgium to be within contingent peril,
and as for Spain, it is in Africa and Portugal is
merely the correspondent of few wine merchants
firms in Mark Lsne-the continent of Europe will
be shut up as completely as it during the great
wars of the Revolution and the Empire. We shall
revert to the time when Sidney Smith, taking the
squire's son to finish his education in Germany,
was driven by stress of politics to put into Edin
burgh and remained there for years The foreign
Bradshaw will become dead letter, and Muir
rays Guides as useless as Pattersons Book of
Roads The Alpine Club will have to burn their
Alpenstock, for Switzerland, however strongly its
neutrality may be re-afirmed by the great powers,
is too near the intended of strife to escape Ill
innate combustion. There will be no pleasant trips
up the Rhine As for excursions to the Saxon
Switzerland or the Lake of Como, or the Tyrol-
as for art trips to Munich or Dresden-these will
have to be deferred until central Europe comes to
it's senses again. The desperate career of the Ger
man watering-p will happily be arrested for
time; the opera houses will go bankrupt, and the
hotel landlords and tric-s-trac sellers will be able,
after long series of years. to appreciate all the
luxury of having soldiers billeted upon them, and
of having to paw war taxes and subscribe to force
loans

The Murfreesboro correspondent of tn,

The Murfreesboro correspondent of the
Nashville Union d: american, says: Occa-
sionally may be seen upon our streets the
erect and sturdy form of Hon. Meredith P.
Gentry, now an honored citizen of our coun-
ty, whose manly bearing and frank and vi
vacious disposition still commend him to his
host of friends as when times gone by, he
stirred the hearts of the people from the
hastings, and shook the councils of the ma
ton by his surprising and powerful elo-
quence Colonel Gentry is in fine health,
and is engaged with all the energy Of his
vigorous nature in demonstrating his
plantation near this place, upon the new in
dustrial system. May his future be as pleas
ant as his past has been honorable, and graf
flying, 1--WE may well SUPPOSE to nature
full of noble instincts.

Conspiracy In the South.

We lake the following from the Alexandria, Va,
yyaraal, and We are so perfectly satisfied Of its
truth that we are prepared to endorse it. and even
more:
We are now fully satisfied that there is deep
ly laid plan in Virginia extending throughout the
South to keep alive for future use the hopes, pur-
poses and organization of the late disunion conspr-
acy One measure of the late disunonists is to hold
control Of the land of the South. Another measure
is to retard settlement by Northern men through g
system of terrorism. An important part Of the
plan consists in deliberately organized system OF
military emigration from Europe. These are the
foundation measures of the new sectional disunion
conspiracy. Sectional politics negro serfdom, CON-
remuneration of disunion battles Generals and he.

Captain 10. V. Metgs' Breech.LO aiding
Rife.

Captain. 10. V. Meigs son of Hon. R. J.
Meigs, one of the most eminent lawyers of
our State, and at present Clerk of the Dis
trict Court of Columbia, has invented a
breech-loading rifle which is spoke of as a
great Improvement on those now in use
From the National Intelligencer we clip the
following:
MEIGs SYSTEM OF BREEoH- LOADING RI
FLEs.-The great number of good breech-
loading rifles heretofore produced would al
most lead one to suppose that perfection
had been reached, and that no new plan
could be devised; but Captain j. V. MeIgs,
of this city, has devised q system which does
away with many Of the objections made to
the guns which have preceded his. He has
rejected all levers or pieces to turn out, pull
back, turn up or down, and has introduced
SLidinq quard principle, which renders it pos
sible to load and unload the piece without
increasing its size, or without half-cockiRg
it, and with the hammer down. The explo-
ded shell is extracted without changing the
position of the hand which grasps the neck
of the stock He has produced a vertical
motion of the breech- plug by horizontal
motion Of the guard, and within the short
space of one and three-eighth inches, We
have seen this improvement on Springfield
rifle severely tested, by having its parts
clogged with sand, and by its reciprocating
movement clean itself, with but moments
loss of time. The same principle is now be-
ing applied by the inventor to a magazine
gun, capable of firing fifty shots before re-
pleniShing the magazine, and without ia
king down from the shoulders, with entire
safety to the operator, and security from
danger of explosion by impact of cartridge
in the magazine.
The weight of a gun SO constructed, its
magazine filled, will be less than the ordina
ry musket and cartridge box.
Captain Meigs and his younger brother,
Fielding Meigs, had the courage to organize
battery of colored artillery at Nashville,
at time when the task required no little
nerve, and by their wonderful industry and
energy, soon had one Of the best drilled bat
teries we ever saw. We cordially wish Cap
tain Meigs both fame and profit from his
invention.

OREGON ELECTIoN.-The election held in
Oregon on the 4th of June was close y con-
tested, and at last advices was called doubt
full, although the Republicans claim ma
jority of 500 and both branches of the Leg
islature. The vote was considerably larger
than had ever been cast before We are not
surprised at the gains" the Copperheads
have made on the election of 1864. The
emigrationinto Oregon during the past three
years has been mainly expelled rebels and
guerillas from Missouri, and Copperhead
skedadlers from the draft in southern Hi
nois and southern Chicago Tribune.

Mr. Mcpherson, Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentative, sends the following telegram of Mr. Lin
coin, concerning the rebel Legislature of Virginia,
10 the New York Tribune. 1t is an important doc
unlent, showing that Mr.. Lincoln never regarded
the rebel Legislature of Virginia "a rightful

Moor General Weit.el Richmond Va:
i have Just seen Judge Campbelrs letter to you
of the 18th. He assumes, as appears to me, that /
have called the nsurgent Legislature of Virginia to-
gether, as the rghtful Legislature of the State to
settle all differences with the United States. have
done no such thing. spoke of them not as Leg
islature, but as "the gentlemen who have acted as
the Legislature of Virginia in support of the rebel
lion" l did this on purpose to exclude the assump-
tion that recognizing them a TiglltftlL body
/ dealt with them as men having power de fdcto to
do specified thing, to wit: To withdraw the Vir-
gnia troops and other support from resistance to the
General Government" for which, in the paper
handed by Judge Campbell, promised a specified
equivalent to wit: remission to the people OF the
State except in certain cases, the cOnhscation OF
their property. l meant this, and no more lnas-
much, however as Judge Campbell misconstrue:
this and is still pressing for armistce contrary
to the explicit statement of the paper I gave him
and particularly as General Grant has since captur
ed the Virginia troops, so that giving consideration
for their withdrawal is longer applicable let my
letter TO you and the paper to Judge Campbell both
be withdrawn or countermanded, and he be notified
of il. Do not allow them to assemble; but If any
have come allow them safe returns to their homes

Destroy Him Not.
BY PROF.. BASCOM.

OF those who use Intoxicating drinks, one
third-the absolute correctness of the ratio
is not essential-are totally destroyed by
them another third are obviously and Sc
riously injured by them; while the remain
der escape apparently safe. The middle
third even would find incalculable personal
advantage from abstinence, while the first
third are totally and terribly lost without it.
The three ranks are closely and inevitably
connected No one sinks to the lowest till
he has first stood in the highest. The pas
sage from one to the other is by insensible
danger 1t is road travelled by persons
from all ranks and classes; not till the habit
has become hopeless, is the drunkard finally
cast out as the unclean leper of society
Not only are the commencement and early
progress in this road respectable, they are
attended with pleasure, hilarity, and fash
ionable favor. The one-third Of cool drink
ers stand at the entrance of these paths Of
enjoyment for the perpetual temptation and
justification Of the two-thirds who mingle
with them and press by them to ruin
We're it not for these, the end might be seen
from the beginning, and this appearance Of
safety vanish. But there they stand, good,
temperate, respectable men, and you forget
that they who drank and laughed with them
in youth have now finished drunkard's
career; that many who have been their
guests are already in the depths of hell;
that they have parted company with broth
er and friend, as they have fastened on in
the dreary ways of damnable debauch.
Mark the relation. The most virtuous
man of necessity, through his very temper
ance, becomes a lure to his eig6bor, puts
the bottle to his mouth; and that neighbor,
frenzied with the draught and gifted with
less government, quickly sinks to the second,
