GENERAL EARLY TIRED OF EXILE
Confederate General Early is in TORONTO
(Canada), whence he has addressed let
ter, published in the Winchester Va. J
Times, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
God knows how well l love my native
State and all her unfortunate sisters of
the South, and how cheerfully my life
was risked and would now be yielded in
their defense but, to all of US, there are
some spots peculiarly sacred. With me,
the first among these is the place where
L was born and where now reposes the
remains of my mother; the next is Win
chester, the plains around which we're
watered by the blood of So many of my
brave comrades, aad now so many true
woman weep over the graves of the fall
len.
1t is sad, sad indeed to be an exile
from my country, and still sadder
mourn the loss of the most just and sa-
cred cause for which man ever fought
but there is some comfort in knowing
that the struggle which developed SO
much heroism on the part of our soldier,
and so many virtues in our woman, has
not been all in vain and wherever may
wander l will bear with me the proud
consolation derived from the knowledge
that my countryman, who were SO faith
full and devoted during all the trials and
vicissitudes of our dreadful contest for in
dependence, now that it has gone against
us, remain true to the memories of the
dead. Power and money may procure
costly monuments and testimonials to
commemorate the rames of those who
fought for the successful party, but all
the power and wealth of the world can
not command so rich a tribute as that
paid to the memories of the heroic dead
of the Confederate armies by the tears of
the women Of the South.

The Christmas Festival.

we mad the pleasure Of attending on
Christmas Eve at Tregaskis Hall, which
was tastefully decorated with garlauds
and wreaths of evergreen, flags, &c. &C.,
and brilliantly illuminated, not only by
numerous handsome lamps, but still more
by the smiles and beauty of the fair sex,
and the happy faces of the children
There was large concourse of citizens
present to witness the exercises, so that
the spacious hall was completely filled.
We will not stop to enumerate all the
tasteful and ingenious devices used in
decorating the building, but will simply
remark that we were struck with the ev-
'ergreeu arch that spanned the front of
the raised dais or stage, the tasteful ar
rangement by which the Holy Bible was
encosed and displayed in the circular
wreath, and the large and handsomely
orpamented Christmas Tree. The exer.
,cises consisted Of music by the Sunday
Scnool Choir and the Silver City Brass
Band, with resolutions from scripture,
songs, declarations &c. The tive Mas
ter's Linch in some comical dialogues and
songs acquitted themselves not only with
,signal,oredit, but to the great amusement
of the audience who heartily cheered and
encored them. Afterwards short, but
highly appreciated address was delivered
tothe Sunday School children by G. l.Wel.
ker, when a commot;on was perceived
near the door caused by the approach of
the venerable and mirtful Santa Claus.
His appearance was hailed with delight
by the children and he proceeded at once
to the Chstmas Tree, which. by this
time, bad been brilliantly lighted up,
displaying its variagated fruit.
Santa Claus distributed his presents
to the children by the assistance of some
ladies and gentlemen who volunteered II
assist in this extensive business. For
the iberality of our citizens had respond.
ed to the exertions of the committees Of
children and ladies', so that the boughs
of the tree were laden with presents.
We understand also that many persons
unconnected with the Sunday School had
sout in presents labelled with the. namei
Of the parties for whom they were in,
tended, which were distributed by Santa
Claus in due course. Among these ma
ny praclicle jokes were played, adding tt
the general hilarity.
We are proud to state that the BULL

would Immediately resolve themselves
into peace and order; but, that if Con-
gress succeeded in the elections, then
open disorder would still threaten our
country. Under these circumstances is
it still improbable that he, by his secret
agents and money was presnt at the late
electionY Did not his affairs bright

Would not a few hundred thousand
dollars used in the late elections have had
ten fold more benefit to his affairs, by Sc
curing the triumph Of the Radicals, which
is synonymous with the triumph of dis
order, than so many millions used direct
ly in Mexico? Is this impossible? is it
even improbable? Whether seemingly
so or not, the secret history of the French
Government may in the illimitable flu
ture throw light upon the subject which
it would be policy to withhold at pres.

DID NAPOLEON III. TAKE ANY PART
IN THE LATE ELECTIONS IN THE
ATLANTIC STATES.
Europe is notorious for deeply laid in
trigues in affairs Of State, and from the
time of Talerand to that of Bismarck, no
one has been more actively engaged in
such, than Louis Napoleu. Taking ad-
vantage Of the unsettled condition Of
public affairs in this country, under the
alleged purpose OF enforcing the payment
to citizens oil France ofthe sums Of money
owing to them from the Mexican govern
ment, and which seemed, on account of
the perpetual revolutionary condition of
that country, unlikely to be paid volun-
tarily, he undertook to and did Interfere
with the course of its government; and
as a result of an alleged election, Maxi
milan became (for the time beng, at
least) Mexican Emperor.
Until our own civil war was ended,
Napoleon had no particular uneasiness in
regard to the permanent result. But
since that time, the frequent and urgent
demands of MIR. Seward, as Secretary of
State, for the recall OF the French troops,
ut last resulted in an agreement to the
eff ct that they should leave Mexican
soil during the latter part Of this year.
But other complications it seems have
interviewed. The war being ended, the
South, subdued and submissive, stood
ready and willing to admit the supremacy
OF the Federal government and Its laws,
and discharge is constitutional duties.
The President subsequently declared that
it was then IN such condition, and that
it had resumed the discharge OF its con-
constitutional rights and obligations. But
Congress, that embodiment OF wisdom,
which will excite the undying admira-
ton of all future ages, declared that such
was not, and for the present should not
be the case. The result has been that
a new war has taken place; this time be
tween the President and Congress. And
altho arms have not yet been APPEALED to,
it has been on the part of the latter bit.
Ter aud relentless war, as all wars are on
the part of the fanatics; while on the
part of the former it has been simply a
determined adherence to constitutional
prin,ip
While the South has stood looking
upon this contest with mute establishment,
this war has been carried into an excit.

been that little mere than half the PEG.

Boy FRIGHTENED TO DEATH
One Of the most touching scenes | have
ever heard of TRANSFERRED in Madison toda +,
ard was related to me by an eye witness.
1t was as follows: A son of Waldo
Abeel, of Maqison, was frightened to
death. He was playing with another boy
about his own age on the steps of Abeels
residence, when a-gentleman shall |
say? no-a monster in human form, a
very though tless man, passing by, pitch.
ed at the boys, and told them that he
would catch them and shut them up un.
less they ran into the house. They both
ran for their lives Mr.. Abeel's son fell
upon the floor in paroxysms. When he
came to, so as to know anything, he beg
ged of his mother not to let the man
catch him, and he would never 90 on the
steps again. 81 never will do it again /!
l never will do it again !" exclaimed the
little sufferer, and Immediately went in
to another fit, The reaction of the sys-
TEN brought on dysentery from which
he never received. Nor did he recover
from his fright. He appeared to be
conscious by spells, but whenever he came
to he would beg his parents not to let the
man catch him, promising never to go on
the steps again. At last he appeared to
be conscious that be must die. He would
then say: 30, papa, don't let me lie;
never will go on the steps again. p
And thus my informant says the child

relating these facts to me tears ran down

1t will not be long, we apprehend,
before we shall see the South most
heartily cursing Andrew Johnson rs
the author of more mischief to her
than all the abolitionists that ever
lived. She viii say that when she
was conquered and ready to submit
TO tho terms Of the conqucror, he
persuaded them that they could fix
and enforce their own terms, that
when they thought the rebellion OK
tingu;shed, he ma lie them believe he
could re~kindIc its smouldcuing fires,
and that when they supposed they
had surrendered slavery forever, he
taught them to compass its revival
under false names. And that the
result OF all this was another failure,
scarcely less humiliatingor disastrous
than the rebellion itself. Already
the Southern press arc discussing the
practical results Of the adoption of
The Constitutional Amendments, as
tho only plan for regaining a posi-
ton inthc Union. The New Orleans
PicdVUne, which only Il few days ago
was teeming with the Justification OF
the massacre, has ceased to discuss
that topic, and ha>taken hold Of the
Congressional plan demonstration,
l. a manner that indicates clearly
both its belief in It's success and Il
disposition to acquiescc. 1t says that
9rOm the tone OF the NCfthcfN press,
and from the evident drift Of North
orn sentiment, the ultimate adoption
Of the Constitutional Amendment
may be contemplated as one of the

Now Yorl, Oct -

NEW Ofk, OcJ. 10.
4 Tribune St. Louis special, OF yes
tcrday, says The Southern Loyal
lists prepared an address, this morn
ing, to thepeople ofthe United States,
before leaving Springfield. They
urge the people to insist, in the be
half Of the true Loyalists, on still
further conditions precedent to the
admission OF the rebel States than
those enunciated in the Compression
al amendment, because the present
State governments Of the South are
not legal bodies, and, therefore, can
not legally ratity the amendment.
They plead that the people insist that
their representative shall, at the
next session, declare the present
State organizations in the South
illegal, and proceed TO organize gov
ernmcnts based upon the principle OF
impartial loyal suffrage. A COM
mittec of seven were appointed to
keep the subject before the people
until the final decision of the recon
straction question by Congress. Tho
committee consists Of Col. Moss, OF
Missouri, Gov. hamilton, Of Texas,
Bingham, OF Alabama, Griffin. OF
Alabama, Tucher, Of Virginia, Eaton,
Of Tennessee, and Randoldh, Of Louis
lana. The Loyalist deputation is
now dissolved. Everywhere their
pleas for impartial suffrage have
been enthusiastically received, even
in the supposed strong holds Of con
servatism in Indiana and Illinois, and
everywhere they have met the most
cordial audiences"
