GENERAL LEE OFFERED THE COMMAND OF
THE FEDERAL ARMY BY Mr.. LINcoLY.-In a
letter published in the National Intelligence.
the Hon. Montgomery Blair mentions the fol-
lowing circumstance in the history of General
Lee:
General Lee said to my father, when he was
sounded by him, at the request of President
Lincoln, about taking command of our army
against the rebellion, then hanging upon the
decision ofthe Virginia Convention, q Mr.. Blair,
l look upon secession as anarchy. If owned
the four millions Of slaves in the South | would
sacrifice them all to the Union; but how can l
draw my swordupon Virginia, my native State {?
He said he could not determine then; said he
would consult with his friend, General Scott.
and went on the same day to Richmond, proba-
bly, to arbitrate difficulties and we see the re-
suit"

REM4RkABr.n .svp----v, = 20 Clinton dow /
erald Of the 18th inst says that, LTD Tie after
midnight on the morning Of me 10th six men
entered the premises of ? banker of that town
named Dunning, VII .ose banking house was
next door bre@A' .ng into his bedroom with
some violence fneir noise aroused Mrs Dun
ming whose chamber adjoined her husbands,
and who, looking out of her window, discov-
cred the robbers and screamed. One of them
tr1shte' Aed her into silence with his revolver,
whlls'o another seized Mr.. D. in bed and throt
tee. him. The son, Martin Dunninr, Jr,
Ms. DIS sister, and negro servant girl, the
only other inmates of the dwelling, We're
| seized and guarded by four of the miscreants,
while the remaining two took Mr.. Dunning to
the bank where they forced him to open his
safe +; they then helped themselves, with true
robbers gusto to its contents, amounting to
between six and eight thousand dollars
chiefly in seven-thirties Returning to the
dwelling, the whole party ransaeked every
nook and corner in search of plumber, of
which they helped themselves to a valuable
amount, although, unlike the grasping Butler,
the ladies as being her mothers gift. We
conclude the relation of this extraordinary
affair in the words of the Herald:
On Mrs. DIS protesting against their taking
everything. one of the rascals slipped so green
3 back in her hand, and whispered, g wish you to
understand that am an honest man. The ras-
Gals took particular pains to appropriate the yaller
gals breastpin, as she made a disturbance once
, which frightened away some persons (about four
weeks since) who were seen skulking about the
house, and this was toerably easy let off for her
7 since they promised ito kill the id nggern AS
to the other inmates Of the house, they protested
that they did not want to hurt any one-they only
s wanted the one thing needfu
Y When the party had satisfied themselves with
booty, the whole family were ordered to bed, will
i threats Of cold lead if they made tho least noise
and apromise to return and burn The house if any
report OF the robbery should be given on Friday
They did even commence to tie some of the family
g in bed with twisted sheets, but this was finally
b abandoned, and those who deserved hanging on
the spot went off scot free. They promised tC
T leave guard to watch the premises, and shoe
the first one who should attempt to raise an alarm
, Retiring from the back room, as they came The
robbers escaped without disturbance with a pro
: mise to 'visit Camanche again" although team
stood near the house and parties were at work il
reotifying establishment near the bank This
i promise to "call again. makes many of our cit
: zens nervous.
