THE EPHESUS.

1t must be gratifying to the protector OF the
Liverpool line, Col. Lamb to have noticed the
cordially with which his direct-trade efforts
have been received throughout the States of
Virginia and North Carolina,
The Richmond and Petersburg press COM
mend the enterprise in the warmest terms, and
have placed fully before the people of those
two cities the advantages to be derived to the
State at large from the success of these efforts
The Newberne IN. C.D Times devotes several
columns to portray the advantages to be derived
by North Carolina by the permanent estate
iiShment of this line.
What remains now to be done is, that we
should "show our faith by our works" Let all
joir to aid in loading the Fl rst ship. The real
estate owners in all these cities are particularly
interested in the success of this line, and we
hope they will join with others in building
ltup.

"Reminiscences of Mosbv.

A literary gentleman, who has been writ
ing book on some events of the war, has had
a correspondence with Colonel Mosby, to
elicit some information required. In reply TO
question whether it would be safe for
"Black Republican dyed in the wool" to take
a horseback journey through Virginia, the
rough-rider responded as follows:
"If you have any desire to visit the his
toric scenes of Virginia, hope you will not
be deferred by any apprehensions for your
personal safety. You will be just as safe
from molestation here as in the streets of Bos-
ton. Should you determine to visit Northern
Virginia, l would be glad to see you at my
home; and can at least promise that you
will not find me the monstrum hogrendum
of the Northern Imagination. By-the-by,
one of the regiments / most frequently en-
countered was from about Bosten-the Sc
cond Massachusetts, Colonel Lowell. once
met detachment of it under command of a
Major Forbes, of Boston and although our
encounter resulted in his overthrow, he bore
himself with conspicuous gallantry, and
saw him wound one of my best men with his
sabre also had an adventure with Cap
tain Barton, of Massachusetts, who served on
General Eustace's staff, and interested myself
to procure his exchange"

Edited from the MS. of Col. Surry, by

Author of
"THE VIRGINIA COMEDIANS"
With four Illustrations, by
wins Low HON f r..
This is Confederate war novel, including LEE,
JACKSON, STUART, AsHBY, and other Confederate
celebrities, among its dramatig persone. 1t is
very spirited, graphic, of absorbing interest, and
the deineations of its historical characters may
be relied upon as closely faithful. The author
served on Stuart's staff, met the Confederate
Generals daily, and has portrayed them exactly
as they were. The incidents of the story are all
in Virginia, and are as romantic, stirring, and
interesting as any one could wish. 1t is, of
course, South-side novel, but confines itself to
the delineaton of adventures and incidents, most
of which were of actual occurrence. A better
insight into life in the Confederate army during
the eventful early periods of the war cannot be
obtained; while the work, apart from its warlike
incidents, is excellent in style, and full Of inter

appear before him After the arrival
of the latter named body his Lord
ship delivered "a speech from the

leading topics of interest and legisla-

cation of the Reciprocity Treaty--the
Fenian invasion, the prompt action of

policy of the United States in preserv-

the want of immediate legislative ac-
ton for the suspension of the Writ of
Habeas Corpus, and the probable sue

did not even allude to the demand of
the I. $. government upon the Province
for the balance of money taken from
your banks at the time of the St Al
bans raid, which could be settled for
little over 100000 in gold 1t seems

Gen. Meade i'm 81. Adams.

Major General Meade arrived in ST
Adams Saturday evening, from Ma
lone, and took rooms at the Weldon
House. At about 10 o'clock he was
serenaded by the 3D. United States
Artillery Band, and being called on for
a speech, he appeared upon the steps,
and being introduced by Marshal
Henry, spoke substantially as follows:
l thank you, fellow citizens, for this
compliment you have rendered me.
1t is my first visit to Vermont, al
though | am familiar with the glori-
Gus deeds of her sons in the late war.
Cheers / can bear test mony to
the excellent material and good con
duct of the Vermont brigade; as fine
n body OF men as any in the army, and
at Gettysburg, the decisive battle of
the war, there was no individual body
of men who rendered greater service
at critical moment, than the compar-
atively raw troops commanded by
General Stannard. Cheers 1t gives
me pleasure to say that the gallantry
patriotism and conduct of the soldiers
of Vermont has ever had my cordial
approval. The Marshal has alluded
to the present state of affairs. | can only
say that thank God the cloud which
has hung over us is drifting away, and
that the prospect is that all difficulty
will be satisfactorily settled. We will
show the world that, no matter how
we have been treated by others, we
have but our rule of duty to do t.
them as we would be done by. CHEERS
| am a soldier and must do my duty
to my country, and however much
sympathy | may have for sincere but
misguided men, cannot allow my
sympathy to interfere with my duties
Further than this / have nothing t.
say upon the events of the present
Thanking you again for this token O
good will on your part, | wish you {

greeted with groans, Kisses and cries
of lynch them" The authorities are
determined to deal with the misguid-
ed young men they have taken, in the
seyerest manner; that is, hang or shoot
them. The Telegraph says that the per-
son calling himself a correspondent OF
the Tribunc, "has been identified as
Col O'Connor, an active leader among
the brigauds. On the contrary, the
Tribune declares that Kelley is their
correspondent, and there is no doubt
of it. The Canadians are determined

is they do not want to.

The General is, we understand, daily

some who ought to be removed, and
there are others who ought to be re-
