THE subject of fences is one of great inn
portance to the people of such of the South
orn States as were over run by the opposing
armies of the revolution. In many sections
il will be utterly impossible to restore the
fences for year or two TO come, in view of
which the different Legislative bodies are
trying to find a remedy for present purposes
The Legislature of Virginia, looking to the
temporary relief of the people in counties
which had been the greatest sufferers adopt
ed " fence law" The law was not general
in It's operations, but acquired force only in
those counties where the people determined
upon its adoption. The prominent feature
Of this law was, that il required the farmer
to enclose his stock instead of his crops. The
law wis eminently wise and proper one,
and il has been most valuable to the people
wherever Il was adopted. We see thatthere
is a bill before the present legislature of that
State 10 amend the law so rs TO make il gen.
eral in It's application.

ARLINGTON, Va, April 90, lS6l.-General:
Since my interview with you on the 18th
instant, / have felt that ought not longer to
retain my commission in the army. there
fore tender my resignation, which request
you will recommend for acceptance. 1t
would have been presented at once but for
the struggle it cost me to separate myself
from aservice to which | have devoted all the
best years of my life and all the ability |
possessed.
During the whole of the time-more than
a quarter of century, have experienced
nothing but Kindness from superiors, andthe
most cordial friendship from comrades. To
no one, General, have l been as much in
debted as to yourself for uniform kindness
and consideration, and it has always been
my ardent desire to merit your appreciation.
| shall carry TO the grave the most grateful
recollections of your kind consideration, and
your name and fame will always be dear to
me.
Save in defense OF my native State, Inever
desire again to draw my sword. Be pleased
to accept my most earnest wishes for the
continuation of your happiness and prosper
ity, and believe me most truly yours,
r. L. LEE.

Withdrawn OF Troops from Alabama

Iron the Mobile Advertiser q Register.
The statement that all the troops were TO be
Withdrawn from the State is incorrect. It's. how
ever reliably asserted that Mai. Gen. Thomas,
commanding military division of Tennessee, has
been ordered 10 reduce the aggregate force of the
white troops in the department of Georgia, Ala
baIaa and Mississippi 90 1909 men. regulars incn-
ded.--TribHBe.
The correction is not more correct than
the inoorreciion. The truth OF the case is,
that Gov. Patton, just from Nashville Of an
interview with Gen. Thomas, was informed
by that officer that the troops would be with
drawn from Alabama whenever he, the Gov
ernor, should say the word. And the Gov
ernor left Mobile yesterday, and proposes TO
say the word as soon as he reaches Mont
gomery. Gen. Thomas, moreover, promised
the Governor arms and ammunition for such
numbers 0s Estate militia as he deemed ade-
quate to the support of the State Govern
ment and the Governor decided upon l0f
companies of60 men each--that s,fwo for a
county, which would be GAO stand OF arms
and 200 rounds OF ammunition for each gun.

PURITY OF CHARACTER.-Over the
beauty of the plum and the apricot, there
grows bloom and beauty more ex-
quiste than the fruit itself--a soft, deli
cate flush that overspreads its blushing
cheek. Now, if you strike your hand
over that, and it is once gone, it is gone
forever, for it never grows but once. The
flower that hangs in the morning, impearl-
ed with dew-arrayed as no queenly wo-
man ever was arrayed with jewels-once
shake it, so that the beads roll off, and
you may sprinkle water over it as you
please, yet it can never be made again
what il was when the dew fell silently
upon it from heaven On frosty MORN
ing you may see the panes of glass, COW
cred with landscapes-mountains, lakes
and trees, blended in beautiful, fantas-
tic picture. Now lay your hand upon
the glass, and by the scratch of your fin
ger, or by the warmth of your palm, all
the delicate tracery will be obliterated.-
So there is in youth beauty and purity
of character, which, when once touched
and defiled, can never be restored; a
fringe more delicate than frostwork, and
which, when torn and broken, will never
be re-embroidered. A man who has
spotted and soiled his garments in youth,
though he may seek to make them white
again, can never wholly do it, even were
he to wash them with his tears. When a
young man leaves his fathers house, with
the blessing of mothers fears still wet
upon his forehead, if he once loses that
early purity of character, it is loss that
he can never make whole again. Such is
the consequence of crime. Its effects
cannot be eradicated; it can only be for
given.

Miscellany.
The Cholera.
BY DIR. HAML1N, coNsrASrINopLE.

BY DIR. HAMLIN, CoNsTANTINoPLE.
The cholera which has just left US after
committing fearful ravages, is making its
way into Europe, and will probably cross
the Atlantic before another summer has
passed.
Having been providentially compelled
to have good degree of practical ac-
quaintance with it, and to see it in all its
forms and stages during each of its inva-
sions of Constantinople, wish TO make
to my friends in Maine some suggestions
which may relieve anxiety, or be of prac-
tical use.
1st. On the approach of the cholera,
every family should be prepared to treat
it without waiting for a physician. 1t
does its work so expeditiously, that while
you are waiting for the doctor it is done.
I'd. If you prepare for it, it will not
come. / think there is no disease which
may be avoided with so much certainty as
the cholera. But providential circum-
stances, or the thoughtless indiscretions of
some member of household may invite
the attack, and the challenge will never
be refused. 1t will probably be made in
the night, your physician has been called
in another direction, and you must treat
the case yourself or it will be fatal.
Sd. Causes of attack. l have per-
sonally investigated at least hundred
cases, and not less than three-fourths
could be traced directly to improper diet
or to Intoxicating drinks, or TO both unit
ed. OF the remainder, suppressed per-
spiration would comprise a large number.
A strong, healthy temperate, laboring
man had severe attack of the cholera,
and after the danger had passed / was Gu
rious TO ascertain the cause. He had
been cautious and prudent in his diet
He used nothing intoxicating. His resi-
dence was in a good locality. But after
some hours of hard labor and very pro-
fuse perspiration, he had lain down to take
his customary nap right against an open
window; through which very refreshing
breeze scas 6loacing. Another cause is
drinking largely of cold water when hot
and thirsty Great fatigue, great ankle
ty; fright, fear, all figure among inciting
causes. If one can avoid all these he is
as safe from the cholera as from being
swept away by comet.
4th. Symptoms Of an attack. While
cholera is prevalent in place, almost ev'
cry one experiences more or less dis
turbance of digestion. 1t is doubtless il
part imaginary. Every one notices thu
slightest variation of feeling, and thi
gives an Importance to mere trifies.-
There is often slight nausea, or tran
sient pains, or rumbling sounds when M
attack toHocs. No one is entirely fre'
from these. But when diarrhoea com
mences, though painless and slight, it is ii
reality the skirmishing party of the ad
vancing column. 1t will have at first N
single characteristic of Asiatic Cholera
But do not be deceived. 1t is the ehol
era nevertheless. Wait a little. give
