ihgton correspondent, under date of the

In a previous dispatch I stated that there
was good reason to believe that in few

parole or bail. received my information

lent facilities for learning the Presidents
views and intentions on such subjects. The
announcement created duite Autter among

fer any action in the matter until after the
fall elections, reminding him that he was
already accused of sympathizing with reb-
els and abusing the pardoning power, and
assuring him that the release of the head
rebel at this time would be handled BY the
Radicals in the present campaign with pow
erful effect, and greatly impair the chan

OUR RECEIPTS OF GOLD FROM EUROPE.
Gold continues to come over to this country
from Europe in heavy shipments. On the
10th instant, the steamer City of Boston,
from Liverpool, brought over $3.50, 900, and
the Hermann, from South Hampton,
brought $3.50, O,OOO. Then We have the in.
formation by the cable that on the 9th Of
September, the Jura sailed from that port
with nearly sl,5OO,OOO in gold among her
precious freight. At this rate, the term
sporadic will hardly apply to this returning
tide in gold; but it must be attributed
to some general and important re action
abroad in favor of American securities and
investments. Meantime, our increased re-
ceipts of gold from California, Arizona, &c.,
are equally remarkable. Our receipts from
San Francisco since January of this year
have been over s29, ,0O0,0 900, against some
S12,OO0,OOO for the same period last year.
With such substantial facts in our favor,
we cannot peceive why an early return to
the specie standard and specie prices should
be regarded as an impossible achievement.
Every thing is operating in favor of this
great result, it appears to us, except the
head of the Treasury, who does not seem to
comprehend the means and advantages with
in his grasp.-Pheni1.

A RETURNED CONFEDERATE The la.
test, and, perhaps, the last to come, return
ed Confederate was in the city, Saturday,
direct from the late enemy's prison:
His experience since the surrender has
been both e0entful and tragic. Soon af-
ter the termination of the war, he was, with
other prisoners at Johnston's Island, liber-
ated, but not furnished with transportation.
Being without money, he was at loss how
to get to his home, which was in Augusta
County, in this State, nine miles from
Stauuton. He, however, made his way in
to Indiana afoot, and in passing through a
town of that State, went into hotel, think.
ing be might meet with some one who
would give him assistance. A number of
men we're at the bar drinking, among them
Federal officer, who was talking about the
war, and among other things said he had
taken an oath to kill every one of Ashby's
men he ever met with. Without stopping
to weigh the consequences, our returned
hero spoke up on the impulse of the mo.
ment, and said be was one of Ashby's men.
The officer at once drew pistol and fired
on him three times, each ball taking effect,
but not in vital points Our Confederate,
like wounded lion, rushed on him, wrench
ed the weapon from his grasp, and shot the
officer dead with remaining ball. The
Confederate was arrested, thrown in prison,
where he suffered long months of confne.
ment, and it was only very recently that he
was brought to trial, which resulted in his
final acquital. He then started again for
home, and reached here Saturday morning,
by the Tennessee train. He stopped at the
Norvell House, where he was recognized by
gentlemen who knew him, and Vouched for

with his bargain.
A few days after, the young couple were
surprised to receive an invitation to dine
with Uncle Luke, and to their rastonishment,
when they arrived, they found their piano
in his little psrlor.
"Did you buy this?" asked Fred.
But Uncle Luke would answer no ques.
tions, yet be promised to make him present
of it as soon as he paid all his debts.
The dinner consisted of corn bread, beef,
and baked potatoes, with an apple pie for
desert. Uncle Luke was in unusually
good spirits, and never once apologized
fer the singular fare be had placed before
his guests.
But they understood the meaning of it.

than when she moped all day in the parlor; !;
and better than this, the times began to
mend, and Fred's business prospered again.
He paid off his mortgage, and the piano was
duly returned to them, because they could
afford luxury.

PLANTERS HoTEL.-Tbis splendid first
class Hotel will be opened on the first of
October, by G. W. and j. B. Dennis, on
the European system. The house has been
thoroughly cleaned, repaired, and refur.
nished with the best of furniture through
out. It contains over one hundred rooms,
the most of which are large and airy. It's
location is as good as that of any other
house in the city, being situated on the
corner of Queen and Church streets, and is
but short distance from Meeting and Bay
streets, which are the most busy streets of
the city.
1t was formerly kept by German & Co.,
also by Gamble, then by Mr. Calder, and
the reputation of the house in days gene by
was equal to that of any in the place.
The advantages of hotel on the Euro.
peau system are such that a man can regu-
late his expenses to suit his pocket. BE
can rent his room, either procure his meals
at the restaurant or anywhere else that he
pleases, or bring it with him from home.
The proprietors have secured the servi-
ces of competent gentlemen, good attentive
servants and porters, who will be always
ready and willing to wait on customers
The charges will be moderate and adapted
to the times. All they ask is the patronage
of the travelling public and of their friends,
so as to convince all that it is their intention
to render their stay as comfortable as
if they were at home. Charleston Ne,os.

The First Grenadier of France.

For many year, there was a touching
and beautiful custom to be witnessed in a
certain regiment of French greuadiers, and
which was meant to commemorate the hero.
ism of departed comrade.
When the companies assembled for pa.
rade and the roll was called, there was one
name to which its owner could not answer
it was that of La Tour d'Auvergne.
When it was called, the oldest sergeant
present stepped pace forward, and raising
his hand to his cap, said, proudly:
"Died on the field of honor"
For fourteen years this custom was con.
tinued, and only ceased when the restored
Bourbons, to please their foreign masters,
forbade everything that was calculated to
preserve the spirits of the soldiers of
France.
La Tour d'Auvergne was not unworthy
in life the honor thus paid him after his
death. He was educated for the army, en-
tered in 1857, and in 1871 served under
the Duke de Crllllon at the siege OF Fort
Mahon. He served always with distinction,
but constantly refused offers of promotion,
saying that be was only 6tfor the command
of company of grenadiers; but finally, the
various grenadier companies being united,
he found himself in command of body of
eight thousand men, while retaining only
the rank of captain.
Hence he was known as the First Grena-
dier of France
But it is of one particular exploit of his
that We wish to write, more than his career
in general.
When he was forty years of age, he went
on visit to friend, not far from section
of the country that was soon to become the
scene of campaign. While there, he was
busy in acquainting himself with the fea-
lures of the country, thinking it not unlike
ly that this knowledge might be of use to
him, and while here the brave grenadier
was astonished to learn that the war had
been rapidly shifted to this quarter, and
that regiment Of Austrians was pushing
