TESTIMONY or GEN LEH

- The testimony OF Gen. Robert T.. Lee before
the Reconstruction Committee, making some
thirty SIX manuscript pages, was submitted in
the Senate to-day. He gives il as his opinion
that the people OF Virginia weuld, if able, be
willing 10 pay the Confederate debt: SAYS that
the whites express kind feelings towards the
freedmen and are willing 10 pay them fair
wages. The whites, lie says, would prefer
that the freedmen should be educated,
as better ior them and letter for the blacks
Thinks the blacks rct as capable of ::cu uirin q
knowledge rs the whites; ne not aware Of the
existence OF ANY combination among the BLACKS
of Virginia for the disturbance OF the peace:

nor able TO form All opinion whether ia the event
OF a war between the United Stairs and any
foreign power such England or France.
the people Of the south would avail them
selves of the opportunity TO endeavor TO gain
their independence. So far as he knew they
contemplate nothing OF the sort now. Has
heard people of Virginia with whom he
country may not be lead into a war. In the
event of such war he had no disposition to
join the common enemy and never had. He
did not recollect ever having taken the oath Of
aHegiance 10 the Confederate Government,
though he may have done so when he was
commissioned So far as he knows the desire
of the people OF the South is tor the restoration
OF the civil Government and they look upou
the policy OF President johnson as the
one which would most clearly and most
surely re-establish II. Thinks IL proba
bic that the Secessionsts would prefer
not 10 associate with northern men
Thinks that generosity and liberality TO wards
the entire South by the North would be the
surest and speediest means of regaining their
good opinion. Witness does not remem Der
having remarked to friends in conversation
that he was wheedled into secession by poll
ticisns, but may have said that the posi-
ton wh,ch the two sections held towards
each other was brought about by the
politicians of the country; that the great
masses of the people, if they understood
me real question, would have avoided It.
Witness believed at the time that il was an I'M
necessary condition OF affairs, and might have
been avoided il forbearance and wisdom had
been practiced on both sides. In reference to
the amendment proposed to the Constitution,
General Lee testified that at present Virginia
would probably accept the smaller representa-
ton rather than allow the negroes 10 vote II

would be better off II she could pet

THE PREsIDENT,sIryvr

The levee of the President last evening was
enjoyed by large number of people, much
greater proportion than usual of which were
of the most distinguished and eminent indi-
viduals in the country.
Soon after eight O'Clock the doors were
opened. before which quite a throng had gath
cred, and from that time till after ten crowds
Of people continued TO arrive. Notwithstand-
ing the number of visitors, there was no jost-
ling or confusion.
The President received in the Blue Room,
and seemed TO be in excellent health and spirits.
Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Slower were also
present, and greeted each visitor presented
with q cordial smile or a word of welcome
On this occasion, as has always been the case,
these ladies were, during the whole evening,
surrounded by host of friends.
The presentations to ths President were
made by Marshal Gooding and Assistant Mar

White House by Col. b. Ii. French.
The number of eminent strangers from dis
tant portions of the Union that were present
was noticeable feature of the levee; and al.
though the sudden and frosty change in the
weather made it quite unpleasant to venture

respects to the President and his daughters

McCulloch, and Postmaster General Dennison,

Snake Bites.

The Rev. Edward FOntain gives the
readers of the Mississippian, through
its weekly of the Both ult., ''certain
cure for snake bites" That his cure is
effective we have no right to question;
but is it not remarkable that the Rev
erend gentleman, with his extensive
experience of frontier life, should
have at this day, to resort to a drug
store for an antidote to the bite of
rapid reptile? Let me assure your
readers, and the readers of such other
papers as may think it worth while to
notice this article, that they only have
to get drunk, within an hour or two
perhaps, after being bitten by a rattle
snake, to be perfectly safe against the
i'll effects from that bite | say an
hour or two, Rs | have known such
time to elapse before the remedy
(whiskey,) could be obtained, but l
still advise the loss of as little time as
possible. Some twenty to twenty to
twenty five years ago, an Indian, known
az Indian jim" had rattle snake OF
the largest class in a box which he
was in the habit Of carrying into Gin
ton once or twice week for the amuse-
ment of such as were fond of shows,
and this snake he would allow to bite
his hand or wrist or arm for a gallon
of whisky. Jim never left without his
gallon, minus Il pint, which he lnVa-
riably drank so soon as he had Olsen
/ ,rann1 bimSnlf from tho snake and So
cured him in the box; work of sew
eral minutes sometimes, as it not I'M
frequently happened that it required
Jim's other hand TO detach the fangs
Of the reptile from his flesh. There
was no mistake about the fangS, as the
blood would follow their removal
| The snake secured and the pint of
whiskey drank, Jim would take up the
| box and Jug and retire with a chuckle
and 'fOOl lngun" ha! This statement
| will doubtless be cOrrOborated by any
one living in ornear Clinton, as those
who are old enough must have wit
messed what describe, and those not
old enough must have heard the state
ment too often to disbelieve it.
| have had several negroes bitten
by both rattle and moccasin, (the lat
ter is probably the most venomOus,
without evil results, they having been
inebriated as soon as convenient after
the accident; but | think it mneces-
sary to give particulars, as the case of
the Indian is deemed sufficient
BURLEIGH.

Our readers, says the Mobile Reg
lister and Advertiser, will recollect the
arrest ola gang of counterfeiters IN tne
latter part of January, and their sub
sequent trial before the United States
District Court This gang was ferret
ted out by officers Shelton, Giddings
and Whitney, and they labored long
and industriously to accomplish the
work. On the 25th of January officer
Giddings arrested one of the gang,
and after holding him two days pre-
vailed upon him, under promise OF be-
ing released, to divulge the operations
and members Of the gang. On TINS
information John Green, w. ii. Sulll-
van and Antonio French were arrest
ed. The former was convicted ana
sentenced to thirteen years ana SIX
months Imprisonment in the penlteh-
tiarv, and the other two got clear
Subsequently,, Il man named MOTIFS,
another of the gang, was arrested, ana
is now in jail awaiting trial. by dlli-
gent search the officers above named,
succeeded in tracing the place OF con
cealment oftheir implements and tools,
which were buried in stable, and
yesterday morning they brought them
to light. These implements consist OF
plates and dies for coming 50 and
50 so gold pieces, together with a
quantity Of the ''raw material ormet-
al not yet stamped. They also found
full set of burglar implements, EN-
bracing "jimmies, outsiders, nips,
skeleton keys etc, which were buried
in the same place with the counterfeit
ing tools, and have no doubt been us
ed by this nefarious gang on more
than one occasion. The gang was dl-
vided, so that one party manufactured
the spurious coin and fractional cur
rencv, while the other showed , it on
the market. These Sicilians have OPP
Grated very extensively and our city
is now fairly glutted with bogus
fractional currency. They comprise a
very large organization and it has al
ways been supposed that their head
quarters were at st. Louis Portions
of the gang have been arrested at
Louisville and other points west. A
few weeks ago, no less than twenty
three Of them were arrested at Nash
vile, and their nest broken up.
