MAJOR GEE.-A correspondent from
Raleigh writes to the Richmond EpamineT
as follows:
The Gee trial is at last ever. After the
severest ordeal of modern times, that IN.
fortunate gentleman, it is believed, has been
unanimously acquitted of al! charges. In
him, the Confederacy has been on trial for
inhumanity to prisoners of war, and bis &C.
quittal is our vindication. I have read most
of the testimony, and while it has been ad.
mitsed and proved that there was great suf.
fering and mortality at Salisbury, it is es.
tablished--
First That every officer connected with
that post and prison made every possible eff,
fort to supply the prisoners.
Second. That they were supplied to the
full extent of the ability of the country and
the Government.
Third. That at no time, in no way, was
there ever made any difference as to the
quantity and quality of supplies furnished
them and the Confederate soldiers who guar.
ded them and,
Fourth. That their suferings were caused
by the failure of their Government to fur.
nish them, and by its hostile operations
which rendered it impossible to select a
proper place for prison depot

He regarded the attempt to capture him
as ssa breach of faith on the part of those
who directed or permitted it to be done,"
inasmucb as he was travelling through a
district which he regarded as covered by
Sherman's armistice. But he adds, curl
ously enough, that his plan was "to join
the forces of his relative, Lieutenant Gen
eral Dick Taylor, after crossing the Chatta-
hoochie. He would then cross the Missis-
sippi, joining Taylor's forces to those of
Kirby Smith-.of whom he spoke with
marked acerbity-and would have continued
the fight 60 long as he could find any Con-
federate force to strike with him."
1t appears from this that Mr.. Davis
thought he had right to play fast and
loose with Sherman's proposition at his own
pleasure. - E.. b. .H ..

DEATH OF GENERAL CAss.-General
Lewis Cass, very aged, and for some years
very infrm, departed this life, at his resi-
dence in Detroit, Sunday morning last. He
was born at Exeter, New Hampshire, 9th,
October 1852, and was, consequently, eigh-
ty-three years of age. At the age of seven
teen he crossed the Allegheny mountains
on foot and settled at Marietta, Ohio, where
he studied law, and was subsequently elec-
ted to the Ohio Legislature, in which body
he originated the bill which arrested the
proceedings of Aaron Burr, and gave the
first blow to what is known as the Bur- con-
spiracy. As soldier, Gen. Cass commeu-
ced his career as a volunteer against the
Indians, on the frontier in 1911, and was
elected Colonel of an Ohio regiment in the
war of 1872 with Great Britain. He urged
the invasion of Canada, and was the author
of the proclamation of that event. After the
surrender of Detroit he was made Colonel
in the regular army, and finally Brigadier-
General, and served in the battle of the
Thames on the staff of General Harrison
He was, in 1878, appointed Governor of
Michigan Territory by President Madison.
BE held this position for eighteen months,
when General jackson made him Secreta-
ry of War, and subsequently minister to
France. Returning home, he was chosen
Senator from Michigan in 1s45, but resign
ed on being nominated the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency in ls47, Hav-
ing been defeated, he was, the following
year, again chosen Senator, and continued
in that position till he finally retired from
public Charleston Neaos, 2lst anst.

Of weights and measures has been very

familiar with the questions he discusses.
His '6rst propeStion-that the new system
makes no provision for halves, quarters,
and cighths, which seems to DO the natural
division Of both weights and measures
will strike every one rs going far to coun-
teract the favorable impression produced
by the supposed convenience Of the deci-
NAL system, since every one likes to buy q
half pound or half yard who cannot buy 3
whole one. The writer for the Chronicle
has filed column after column with this
apparently dry disc ussion, but In the fol-
lowing paragraph he states, In few words,
the comparative merits and defects Of the
decenary and the dictionary systems:
"The former would save considerable
amount of calculation in all the accounts and

of trouble, annoyance, and CONFUSION In all

GENERAL LEES HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS AT
ARLINGTON. an order from the Ere
sident the household effects left at the Ar
lington mansion by General Lee, or rather
the fragments that were remaining Of them,
were yesterday delivered to the party au-
thorized by General Lee to receive them.
Ii appears that nearly everything Of any
value had been stolen. Many valuable
heirlooms, including some of the family
portraits, had been purloined. The por..
traits were taken from the frames, packed
i'm boxes, and stored in the upper loft OF
the mansion for safety in 1861. These
boxes had been broken open and every
thing of real value taken away, and the
letters and private papers Of General Lee
scattered over the loft. A lady friend OF
the family, with Mrs. Gray, the old and
faithful household servant, were yesterday
looking over the effects and gathering up
the fragments worth preserving.
The furniture, including several bed
stcads, a considerable number of common
chairs, two or three sofas, several tables
and book cases, a Sideboard, bureaus, and
some half-dozcn large ancient gilt picture
frames, and variety of other articles OF
the kind, were tumbled together, broken,
bruised, and in q most vandalized condl-
ton, i'm the suite of rooms once used as
parlors, on the lower floor, preparatory to
being shipped away. The onl y articles re-
naming there from Mount Vernon were
three book cases aud carved hall chair.
The sofas which year ago were IN the
parlor, and in q tOlcrable condition, had
been broken and torn in ruinOuS manner
by curiosity hunters, the red velvet cover
ing of one sofa having been in this way
more than half taken off.
1t would seem to have been only the
performance of clear duty OH the part OF
the authorities when they took possession
of this property, portion OF which was
historical and of some consequence to the
nation at large, to have provided for its
careful prescrvation.-Natio'eal l"teui-
