We lake great pleasure in layir me
following letter from Hon. Horace May
nard, of Tennessee, before our readers.
Mr.. Maynard is the Member of Con-
gress elect to represent the Second
(KnoXville) District of that State. He
is one of the most talented men in Ten
nessee, and knows we'll the sentiments
of Southern rebels. But read his letter:
WASHINGTON, March Il, 1866.
Dear Sir: Your paper of yesterday,
just laid upon my table, reminds me
again how remiss have been in not
acknowledging your kindness during
the winter. like your course. 1t is
the true one for the Union men of the
South. It is the only one they can take
and hope to live.
We See the old tactics attempted
with very little remoditicatiOn. Ever
since we can remember anything about
politics, there was always in our part
of the country, something held up to
public odium, represented as Northern
sentiment, and firm men denounced
continually by name ms the advocates
of it. For many years previous to the
war it was "abolitionism and Mr.. Sew
ard" The parties who made this clam
or were seeking to prepare the popular
mind for their ulterior scheme of dis
union. Many one who would have
stood nghast at the wicked proposition
of disunion, was drawn into the fight,
supposipg it was merely n contest with
Mr.. Seward and other abolitionists.
And so afraid were our people of the
stigma, that we could rarely find one to
deal blow at the rebellion, without at
the same time giving kick at the abo-
litionists, Just to show that he was
sound on the negro question. The re-
suit of all such folly You had ample
time to reflect upon while in Libby
prison.
Now the bugbear that is to brighten
Southern people is "radIcalism," and
the horrid name is no longer Seward,
or even Beecher. In our part of the
country there are no radicals properly
so-culled, and it is useless to waste
strength in combating the views of
the extreme men who assume that de-
Signation. Our foes are the rcbels.-
Our danger is from them and them
alone. What they seek and intend, we
have the evidence of the last five years
TO show. Because they failed in their
wicked attempts, does any sane man
believe their purposes have been aban-
dOned? Many who were drawn unwlt-
tingly into the rebellion, now being out
of il, will keep out. But they are not
the noisy crew who are clamoring for
what they call their rights, and de-
nOuncing as radicals" all who have
withstoOd their assaults upon theSna-
ton.
determined for myself long ago not
to spend time in fighting mere epithets.
If it grutiiies auybody's malignity to
decry me as an abolltionist, a black re-
publican, Il tory, Lincolnite, rene
gade, or even Il radical, let him hive
the cheap qualification. l choose TO
deal with something more substantial
ly important.
The Union men of West Virginia
have Iry most earnest and heartfelt
sympathy. For you wish the greatest
success.
am very truly yours,
HORACE MAYNARD.

CoNcERr.-On last Tuesday evening
the citizens of West Alexander and vi
cinity were treated TO one of the best
musical entertainments it has ever been
their lot to enjoy.
The programme consisted of vocal,
orchestral and brass band selections
from the best authors, and were such
as could not fail to please every lover
of good music.
Mr.. Hamilton, who presided at the
piano, added much to the evenings en-
tertainment. That "veteran" violinist,
the renowned Capt. w. II. Stoy, was
also on hand, and discoursing some of
his finest solos, held the audience spell
bound. But we should have mentioned
the fair ones who participated and ad-
ded so much to the evenings enjoy
ment. Suffice to say they acquitted
themselves nobly."
But, while we would award due credit
to all concerned, we must say that to
the director of the evenings exercises a
great deal is due. We refer to Mr.. II.
NJ. Todd, to whose untiring energy and
fine musical taste the success of the en-
ter:ainment is attributable. Mr.. Todd
possesses talent for music that should
not be left uncultivated, for, with IL
proper application, he might rank with
the finest order of musicians.

General j. c. BrcckinrIdge.

The Petersburg Express of Thursday
contains the following, to the modest
tone of which we would call attention:
we have intelligence direct from To-
ronto, Canada, where the General IS
now residing. he says that his health
is good. but that care is making its
mark upon the handsome and intellect
ual face with which nature blessed him.
Four years ago his hair was black as
Jet; now it is hoary. He is weary of
exile and anxious TO return to his home
and friends. LIN the hope ofaccom-
plishing this end, Ex-Governor Price,
of New Jersey, a warm personal friend
and colleague of the Generals In the
Congress ofthe United States previous
to the late war, has proceeded Tor will
shortly do SOY to Washington, and have
an interview with the President. We
trust that the President will accede to
the request. His relations with Mr..
Breckinridge previous 10 the late
political estrangement, we have
been informed, were quite friendly,
if not positively cordial. Besides, there
is no charge against General Breckin-
ridge that we ure aware of. All the po-
litical prisoners save two have been re-
leased from confinement-Mallor Ste
phens, Seddon, Hunter, Judge Camp
bell-all exceptthe President and Judge
Clay. Why Keep General Breckenridge
and doubtless the President will con-
sent that he may return to his home
his family and friends.
Certainly, bring the renegade and
traitor home," and he will be the
Democratic nominee for United States
Senator from kentucky.

THE BOND ROBBERY IN NEW YORK
Arrest of one the RoG6erS-RecOvcry oJ

ment made by telegraph that the alleg-
ed principal of the great bond robbery
of 81 100000 from the sale of Mr.. Rutus

three weeks ago, had been arrested.
proves to be correct, and the details OF
The transaction are given by the Boston
,JOur,.uL, which says the reward OF
$500, 600 stimulated the detectives to un-
wonted exertions. The Journal adds :
After finding out one of the parties
to the transaction, an agreement was
entered into that the robbers should
visit Boston, and when here, upon the
pavm9nt of u certain amount of money,
they were to deliver up the bonds. This
transaction. however, was not carried
out, but about week ago Marshal
Westcott, of Newburyport, accompan-
led by two detectives of the United
States marshal's office of New York,
stepped aboard the train for Boston,
and when some twelve miles from that
CITY they arrested, on the cars, man
who gives his name rs Horace Brown,
who has been only II year out of the
Charlestown State prison. In his bag
gage was found about two hundred and
fifteen thousand dollars of the stolen

instead of bringing him to Boston on the
train, for precautionary reasons they
got out some twelve miles from the city,
and came on by private conveyance,
and Brown was then conveyed to New
buryport, where he remains in custody,
Brown, whose real nume we have moi
obtained, states that the robbery was
not perpetrated in the night time, but
in broad daylight. He says that under
Dretense of leasing a room in his build
ing, he made frequent calls upon Mr..
Lord, and ascertained the exact condl-
ton of affuirs. On the day the robbery
was committed he was accompanied by
six accomplices, who were partners IL

ties. He entered the Office and rOuno
Mr., Lord seated at his table with his
back to the door, and also with his back
to the safe, which was open. He en-,
gagged Mr.. Lord in conversation, anC
two accomplices then entered and took
the bonds from the safe and went out
Mr.. Lord being unaware of the pres
ence of any other parties, owing, prob
ably, to slight deafness and the en-
gaging conversation of Brown. II
| fact, Mr.. Lord did not discover the los!
until tho next day. 1t is said th'
amount was equally divided among
seven, and it was proposed by the rob
| bers to deliver up the whole amount fo

Brown was made, which broke up thu

The Lato Democratic Gathering up
in Brooke County.
Erom az nelLsLl.ra Heral.

Tho proceeding of the democratic turn
out OF Saturday last, copied from the
Democrat, will be found in another col
umn, published for the editicutiOn of
such OF our readers as may have de-
sire to see what the reconstructed party
looks like. In reading over the names
of the prominent actors we seem 10 be
transported back into the happy days
of ten years ago, but when we read
over the resolutions, we confess TO
feeling of utter "gOncneSS" i'll attempt
ing to reconcile them with the old time
h0nored forms that emannted from
Richmond. There is nothing left but
the irradicable longing for the possess
sion of the offices, which runs through
the whole tenor of the resolves i'll II
strain of puthOS something like that of
the ancient IsrnliteS when they hum
gered after the lcekS and the cucum-
bers and tlesh-pOts of Egypt. There is
no truculrnce or bOastimg, no intrusion
of States rights democracy, no pro-
slavery dOgmntism which was the very
back bone of the old time democrats, no
free trade, no hard money, nO anti
bank, no nothing of all the issues that
we used to deem important that pre-
vailed between the rival parties of the
country. They have all dwindled down
to IL dreary, woe begone and uncomfor-
table feel that the party has disgraced
itself and that unless its professors
speedily reach some paying offices 1t
will die out, miSerably and ignomin-
iOusly.
This may not be the way in which
the subject presents itself 10 every ono;
but it expresses the prevailing impress
sion made on our mind by reading the
resolutions prepared by the committee
and on motion of that old stand by and
eminently useful publicist, Joseph r.
Naylor, unanimously adopted, as the
SCI &Iments of the party.
1t is true, o. w. LanGtitt, Esq, de-
parted IL little from the prevailing hu-
mility of the occasion and favored
change in our State government, either
as to the laws or as to the officers Of the
laws, we did not exactly gather which,
but presume he would not object to
either. Considering that he has been
eminently loyal both to the Federal and
State governments this ten years gone
and at the same time so remarkably
unsuccessful in making it to be seen of
men in paying way, his unfortunate
experience should be n warning to him
of the danger of excessive prominence,
though it may not abate his faith in ul-
innate success.
But verify, as the preamble mourn
fully AYERS: "The whang doodle
mourneth; :" and we have no desire to
further harrow the feelings ofthe Saints
of Hepsidam, by unwelcome reminis-
cences of times gone by or evil boding
of what is in store for them i'll the fu-
ture, when the lion roareth, and the
tender kids seek the mountains, and
we may add, the cOpperheads their
1ens.

A Cool Proceeding.
ELonr, III. lIeII.h,r,-.r HernLlf

About one of the coolest things of the
day is the resolution of the "cOnserva-
tives" last Saturday, affirming that they
condemn entirely, the proceedings of
the last Legislature; and especially the
Registry law. When it is considered
that the policy of the Legislature was
shaped and the Registry law enacted,
specially to prevent such men as COM
posed the talking members of that
meeting from having any part in the
government until they are reconstruct
ed, their disapproval is to be expected,
but for them openly to condemn it thus.
is about as modest as if General Lees
other men had taken occasion to con-
denim the terms of the parole granted
them about a year ago.
By the way, if they don't like the
Registry law, they are not Obliged to
register themselves.

Robert LincOIn---GiOsSip ia High Life.
You remember Robert Lincoln, son
of the late President? He was general
-ly liked here as an amiuOle and intelli-
gent Young gentleman, not quite equal
to his father in ability, but of superior
culture. a story is just now current in
which his name is so freely banded,
and so universally that, seeing that all
the parties are of public notoriety,
there may be no impropriety in nllu-
ding to it. Nearly two years ago, so
the story runs, Robert fell in love with
a vounG lady, whose father was ut one
time out of Office and out of money
To be in this condition ut Washington
is next to being convicted OF forging
Government bond or murder in the
first degree, and the idea of marrying
the lady in that condition was not to
be thought of. So the amiable Robert
set about mending the matter, and
made n desperate effort to secure the
proposed futher-in-law seat in the
Lower House of Congress. He failed
in this, however, and was at a dead halt,
when luckily u member of the Cabinet
died. Here was Il vacancy, and the
lover, speeding on the wings OF
passion, amorous, flew to the Pre-
sident and stated the whole case to him,
with great frankness. 81 like your
way of doing things, Bob" said Mr..
Lincoln, land, if possible I will work
the thing for you" To cut long tale
short, he did ''work little broken
down politician became a member of
the Cabinet; the young Alliance was
soon converted into n leaderol fashion;
and all went sweetly as a marriage
bell toward the wedding-day. But the
aduge never fails to hold its own, and
in this, as in every other case, the
course of true love did not run smooth.
The hand of the assassin interposed.--.
The young gentleman found himself
bereft of father, of fortune and of place
at one fell swoop. On the other hand,
the Cabinet member created by his in
-terposition, had experienced u change
of fortune; for, having shutfied his cards
skillf1lly, he was just returned a Sen
ator in Congress. The lady wavered,
the nuptuals were postponed, and final
ly, AS visions of gay career and better
match began to fit across her beautiful
blue eyes, she resolved that she was
not so much in love as she had been,
and she broke off the engagement alto
gether. I tell you the tale as it was
told to me,

THERE was . sensation on thelevee Friday.
When . woman comes rushing down street,
wr;nsine her hands and screaming, then that
is slightly trsgical phase Of public theatri-
calls, that attracts attention and makes every
we'll disposed person anxious to render aid
and comfort. Thus it was Friday and thus
it came as the facts were related to us yester-
day. Mr.. Jesse - having not the fear Of the
Lord before his eyes, maltreated his wife for
that being q church member, she would at
tend church services. Finally they agreed
upon separation-she to retain possession
of their only child which is but young. Some
time thereafter he attempted to get posses
sion of the child, but was unsuccessful. FRI
day he got possession of the child and rush
ing down to the river, jumped into wagon
and ordered the driver to make like mad T"
for the other side of the river. Meantime his
wife discovered the loss of the child, and
rushed after him, frantically calling upon by
islanders to save her child. There was q
scene. Several men started in pursuit, and
the chase began. Over the river, like Jehu,
of Scripture notoriety, went pursuers and
pursued. Not until some distance beyond
the other other side was Jesse overhauled and
the child taken from him. This was done,
and with the child restored to its mother and
the levee public subsiding into its usual quiet,
we drop the curtain over this stray scene OF a
domestic DRAMA unwittingly performed In
public.
