Mr.. SpuRosoS RsPoRxsD.-The great
est pulpit orator Of England has noto-
riously drawn q great deal of his elo-
quence from the inspiration Of tobacco
smoke and beer. His appearance beto-
kens q man inclined to anything but as
ceticism. He has shown great pluck and
persissency in resisting the appeals Of re-
formers with reference to the W. crea-
ture comforts i have named. A few years
ago an anti-,obacco delegation waited on
him and laid their good old stock argu-
ments before him. When they had done,
Spurgeon replied that he had listened at
tentively to their remarks, and this he
would promise them that the very next
pound Of tobacco he got he you'd burn it.
The committee collapsed. They gave
him over as a fuliginous ~reprobate.
Ephraim was Joined to his idols and his
pipe. Then the teetotalers have fred their
broadsides into him for ten years; and
like an unconquerable Briton, he has
stood manfully BY his beer barrel. At
last, however, he has surrendered on the
latter point. He has sworn of from beer
and grog; but he will smoke. We shall
see.-Cincinndti COMMERCIAL

Observation-Disclosures is little better
than q vast graveyard. The hospital and
casualty reports show that over $4,000
men have died within the city and its for
tifca,ions in the last FIVE years. or these
the great majority Of graves are unmarked.
For a long while before the surrender the
rebels were unable to bury their dead ex-
ceps in trenches or heaps. One-half Of
Pember,on's army died during the siege,
and Of the remainder, one-third were in
the hospital when the place was surren-
dered. Hundreds are said to be buried
under the steamboat levee, and every cav
ing Of the banks, above and below, carries
human remains into the river or leaves
them exposed in the broken bank.

SUCCESS OF THE UNION TICKET IN VIR-
eINIA.-The following telegram has been
received
"VIRoISIA, May 7th.
ITO ". H. Knerr Edwards is elect
ed Chief Of Police, and Piper is Mayor.
"GEo. DowSEY."
The opposition to the successful ticket
called itself the Democratic johnson
Union party, and put forward a platform
that was an insult to those who would
desire to support the President and the
Union party. One Of their resolutions
demanded the admission, Internationally,
Of the representatives of the eleven States

not the platform Of Johnson or his sup.
porsers. but Of the very worst Of Copper

The Grade OF Gcncral.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The bill reviv-
ing the grade of the General passed the
House with only eleven dissenting votes.
Thad. Stevens slurs Grant.
An amendment offered by Stevens, Of
Pennsylvania, providing that the vacant
Office Of Lieutenant. General shall not be
filled during SCOTS life, was promptly
rejected.
The debate was highly eulogistic.
Debate on the Reorganization
Amendment.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The House de-
bated the Reconstruction report; nine
speeches being made.
II. J. Raymond's Views
Raymond, Of New York, expressed his
qualification that the couMistee had SUBJ
mitted their entire scheme. With one ex-
cepsion the propositions were such as he
approved.
He first reviewed the principles Of the
Civil Rights bill, which he favored thor
oughly and heartily.
The second proposition had also been
before the House FOR its action. but in q
form which he could not then support; a
form recognizing by implication the right
Of each State to disfranchise portion OF
its citizens on account of race or color.
In it's present form he would support it.
The Sd section, however. would. i!
adopted by Congress, defeat the whole,
for no Southern State would then ratify
it = and their people would be fools il
they did.
While not willing to make these propo-
si,ions conditions precedent to Southern
representation, he (Raymond) was will
ling to vote that all except the Sd section
should be passed by Congress and sub
mit,ed to the States for ratification.
He expressed his belief that all the
States to be affected should be now repre-
sented, but did not hold it essential to the
validity of Congressional action that they
should be thus represented.
An Explanation.
Wilson, Of Iowa, called Raymond to
account about some supposed ipconsis.
tency between his position on the pending
measure and his position on the Civil
Rights Bill; in reply to which, Raymond
acknowledged the interest taken in his re-
cord by the gentleman from Iowa, and
explained that there was no inconsistency
a. all.
Previous Qucstion Coming.
Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, gave notice
that at 8 o'clock, tomorrow, he would
call the previous question, and ask a vote
on the joint resolution.
The Third section may net Prevail
A strong effort will be made to throw
out the Sd section, and prominent Repub.
licans, tonight, believe the effort will
prevail.

At Tumaco I was quite surprised to see
a live American woman quietly sitting IN
one corner of the room, at o sewing ma
chine, stitching away, apparently quite at
home. I soon struck up an acquaintance
with her, and ascertained that her name
was Miss Molly R, from Virginia
City ; that she had kept lodging-house
in that place for two or three years, got
the Barbacoas gold fever, sold her furni-
ture for what it would bring, and not
w~ithstanding the remonstrances of her
friends, started for Barbacoas, determined,
she said, to have the first picking this time

bound for the mines. chartered the Par
kersburg to convey them to Tumaco.
Molly was one Of the passengers. She
thought she might do well with a lodging
house, a restaurant, or by doing sewing.
She gave up the idea Of either, because
neither would pay. She then determined
to 90 to Barbacoas, but every one advised
her 80 strongly against the step that she
concluded to remain where she was for
the present. Il would be thirty days be-
fore the English steamer would return
from the south on her way to Panama.
She could do no better than to wait pa
tieptly till that time, and then return to
California, which she concluded to do.
