Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1866-07-27

The Baltimore Gazette quotes the following
from the testimony Of Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie, of
this place, given before the famous Reconstruct
ton Committee:
G. In general terms what is the state Of feel
Ing among the Rebel people Of Virginia towards
tAe United States?
i. ain satisfied that the indiscriminate par
Goning system adopted by the President has
produced a very bad effect, and that the State
Of Virginia is in worse condition now than it
was last April That has grown out of two
iac'S which were the cause of all our troubles
during the war. One is this: start from Al
cxandra or Washington or Baltimore, and 20
down thc bay and throughout the South, and
you find the New York Daily News and the
2ers--in circulation at every point, and all over
Che State. There is scarcely Scccssionist in
alexandria or along the line down to Tennessee
who does not have these papers. Then we
nave the disloyal sheets of Virginia and the
minds OF the people are poisoned and disaffect-

and Baltimore Daily Gazette, are understood to
5e what kind Of papers?
4. The meanest, aWfulest secession papers,
rnfriendy to the Government, aud the people
arc constantly piled with that kind of fuel
And then he adds:
My own opinion is that they are waiting and
hoping for restoration of the Bourbons in
1868
Q. BY the Bourbons you mean the Copper
head party?
a. Yes sir; | mean the Copperhoad party of
tie North and the Secession party OF the South;
rho are brethren; of course they always were
brethren, have perfect horror Of them my.

people; still, that is Gods truth
GEN. BEAUREGARD IN EUROPE. The Lon
den correspondent Of the New York Times
writes:
General Bcauregard was we'll received in
England, IN private circles, but / do not learn
shat he had the slightest official recognition. -
But in France it was far otherwise He was
sent for by the Emperor with whom he had =
long and confidential interview, at the Tuileries,
after which he conVersed with two Ministers Of
State, N. Rouher and NJ. Drouyn de rHuvs,
and taken IN State carriage to the Legislative
Chambers. 1t is reported also that he has had
and declined the offer to take the command of
The Roumanan army. The Emperor Napo
icon, III these polite attentions to the Confeder-
ate general, is carrying out the principle of
perfect neutrality TO the end, and makes no
distinction between Federal and Confederate.
