ArcaGiaD.
The correspondent Of the New York
Herald writes from Athens, Nov. 18th, the
following account of the terrible affair at the
convent:
Intelligence received yesterday from Can.

occupied BY five hundred and forty persons,
three hundred aud forty-three of whom are
women and children, leaving one hundred
and ninetYseyen men capable of bearing
arms.
Coronoes does not appear to have been in
the place, as was incorrectly reported On
the 10th Mustapha Pasha left his headquar-
tiers at Episcepi with $4,000 men, and adj
vanced upon the convent, demanding the
surrender of the garrison. The Cretans
refused, and the Turkish artillery immeai-
ately opened tremendous fire upon the
place. Keeping up the bonibaTdmcnt for two
days and nights. A breach at last being
effected in the walls, the Turks, who had
suffered heavy losses. passed into the con
vent court This was surrounded by small
cells, in which the Christians had barri-
caded themselves and kept up the fire over
six hours Finding all resistance ineffcctu-
al, the defenders of the convent formed the
desperate resolution Of setting fire to the
powder magazine, and a monk applied the
match. The explosion was tremendous,
hurting Turks and Christians into the air
and strewing the neighborhood with
corpses.
Two thousand Turkish soldiers were

Matrimonial and Romantic.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.

One of the prettiest tricks of the season
Of that sad rogue, Cupid, was witnessed a
few days ago at skating party not hun
dred miles from our capital city, A com
pany OF young men and maidens, and some
gray Boards too, had met at the fine pond
IN the vicinity Of -, during the first days
of the late ''cold snap, and among them
were a young lady and gentleman, both
strangers in the neighborhood, and both on
visit to friends.
The sport had begun, and all was going
merry as a marriage.bell," when the young
lady, whose name for the present shall be
Belle, gllded away, in advance of her COM
panions,I toward the center of the pond :
Every eye followed her in admiration as
she spun round in many circles, or darted
away on ilnes as straight and unerring as
geometry. 1t was beautiful practice, and
the lady, in her excitement, did not notice
that the ice began to bend around her, but
several of her friends who were nearest her
saw 1t, and cried out to warn her of her
danger. Strange as it may seem, fearless
as she was she grew paralyzed with terror,
and, though she kept her feet. she seemed
incapable of moving from the spot, and
stood gazing, as If fascinated, at the place
where the ice began to show signs of break
ing up.
1t was high time for some one to attempt
rescue, and Henry -, the strange young
man, rushed forward as fast as steele could
carry hin. A moment of anxiety, Of breath
less suspense, and he has reached her and
now, with his arm around her waist, with
the treacherous ice bending and cracking
beneath their feet, he guides her rapidly to
place of safety The Mortified spectators
see the water gushing up a few yards be-
hind them; and at last when the danger is
over, there are some tears shed that were
not put down in that day s programme.
The acquaintance begun under such cir
cumstanees soon ripened into mutual re-
gard stronger than friendship, and as truth
is often stranger than fiction, they are to be
married soon-it is whispered during the
holiday.

The Interest of the Northeast.

The Louisville journal publishes an ex-
tract from letter written by an Albanian
whom the Journal describes as respected,
intelligent and influential" a portion OF
which We copy:
1t is to the interest of the planter to cul-
tivate cotton and buy his provisions. |
find nearly all of the planters disposing of
their stock, for various reasons One is
that corn is so high that they ''eat their
heads off before it is time to slaughter
them. There are SO many vagabond ne
gToes in the country that they kill up the
hogs to save themselves from starvation
Now it occurs to me that if the policy of
the radicals is carried out it will effectually
break up the industrial and agricultural
operations Of the South, in which event the
Northwest would have no market here for
her produce, etc. 1t is apparent to every
one that the interests of the two sections are
the same; and, if we are thus intimately
connected commercially, why are we not
politically? Were we united politically, we
would be too strong for the radical element
OF the North. Were we united politically,
as We are by interest, we would soon be a
lraternal and harmonious people again.

Gen. Lee in Richmond.
From The Memphis Post, Nov. 81.

From The Memphis Post, Nov 81.
Not many days ago son of general r.
f. Lee was visiting Richmond, and while
there was invited TO dinner. at which were
present mostly ex-rebel officers. Every
one can imagine that the reunion of old
companions in arms-those who had sat of
ten together around the camp fre-was not
without its pleasures, even if tipged with
the melancholy consciousness Of having
shown their valor for naught
The wine went round after dinner, and
one fiery young blood, who, with all his
hard knocks, had had no discretion knocked
into bis boiling brain, arose and proposed

but one flag, and that is the flag of our
whole country the glorious old stars and
stripes. | can recognize no other, fight for
no other, and will drink to no other.
There spoke true chivalry That was the
voice of hero and man of homer. How
many votes, think you, would be obtained
in radical congress against restoring such
a man to all the rights which he is sensible
enough to know were forfeited BY rebellion ?
We venture to say not one.

The Pope and the French Troops.


Before the French troops left Rome, the
Pope made to them the following significant
remarks:
Before your departure, wish to bid you
farewell. Your flag left France to restore
the Holy See. On its departure it was ac-
companied by the unanimous good wishes of
the Nation. The flag now returns to
France, but / believe that many censciences
will not be satisfied. | wish 1T to be re-
ceived in the same manner as when it left
France. but doubt whether this will be the
case. There must be no illusions The
revolution vii come to the gates of Rome
Ii has been said that Italy is complete
No, she Is not complete, aud if she exists as
she is, it is because there remains this strip
of territory where | am still at the present
time. When this no longer remains, the
flag Of the revolution will float over the
Italian capital. Attempts have been made
to persuade me that Rome, by nature Of its
position, cannot be the capital of Italy [

approach the Emperor tell him that pray

also do something. France is the eldest

fee to wear the title the right to wear it

France and the United States.

On the 24tli Of last month Gen. DIX, the
new Minister to France, was presented to
the Emperor NAPOLEON Gen. DIX, in
presenting his credentials, referred to the
traditional friendship of the two nations,
and expressed the hope, in the nal.e of the
United States, that it may be perpetuated.
The Emperor, in responding, said. that
very friendship to Which he alluded. consti-
tuted sure guarantee that no mlsunder-
standing viii sever the friendly relations
now existing, and that continuance OF
good feeling between the governments
would be OF mutual advantage to the indus
try aud commerce Of both, and would like
.,anea esatinue to insure and guarantee ha-
man progress and the march of civilization
On the 18th Of the same month Monsieur
BERrHEMY. the new french Minister to the
United States, was presented to President
JOHNSON, when he said:
Mr. fREsIDENr--i have the honor to
place in your hands letters which accredit
ue as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of His Majesty, the EN-
peror of France. In confding to me the
mission to represent hIn near you, my SOW
erclgn specially charged me to make known
to you the value he attached TO the relations
Of friendship which existed between France
and the United States, and to maintain
those relations and to draw them more
closely, II possible, in view of the develop

tries. Such will be the constant aim OF my
efforts and have a firm hope to attain it,
if, as | am assured, the government and
people of the United States share in these
sentiments, Of which | bring to this place
the sincere expression.
The President replied:
NJ BEgTHEMY- -SIR:-Grateful affec-
ton toward the French nation Is among the
earliest, the most profound and most en-
dearing sentiments OF the people and Gov
ernnent of the United States. We con-
stantly try to believe that no interests of
either country can ever require alienation

In expressing these feelings | am only re-

the United States since they became SOW
ereign. We have had much reason to be
pleased with the conduct OF your predeces

Monsieur, that no consideration OF courtesy

BRoADwAY-A HUGE UNDERTAKING.
Just before the adjournment of the New
York senate, last spring, a committee was
appointed to make investigations and report
a plan for the relief of Broadway, New
York. Among the projects which have
been considered are the surface Broadway
railroad, the parallel, the elevated, and the
underground railroad The investigations
have resulted in the adoption of resolu-
ton in favor of the underground plan. The
committee proposes that there should be
one line from the battery to City Hall park !;
and that thence there should be two lines,
one under Chatham street, Bowery and
Third avenue to Harlem river and the
other under Park Place, Murray or Warren
street, to Hudson street, ard under Hudson
street, Eighth avenue and Broadway. and
Ninth avenue 10 Harlem river This plan
is said to be feasible, and it is alleged that
capitalists stand ready to furnish the means
to carry it out.

ra- 4 sad accident occurred lately in
Moscow, Russia, which resulted in the
death of Davis Richards, an American
circus rider Of considerable reputation. He
was doing the Olympian act, as it is called,
with another artist, on the backs of two
horses. On getting down the shoulders of
his comrade, his foot slipped, and he fell
upon his back upon the rump Of one of the
horses, and before his comrade could assist
him, he slipped off and struck upon his
head and neck with such force as to at once
Daralszc his whole body. On being assist
ed, he seemed to be conscious of his condi-
ton, and said, 81 am dead man; let me
remain here and die. Send my love to MY
wife, and then ceased to speak. He was
at once removed to his apartment, where
he died in fwenty-four hours He leaves a
widow with three children.

NEW Ice Boat The Prairie du Chen
Courier says Hon. Ira A. Brunson, of that
place has constructed an Ice Car, which
IL the nearest thing to perfection in the line
OF ice navigation, that we have ever seen or
heard of. Judge Bunson has had his in
vention tested, and it works to charm =
lie has been about three years in bringing
about its practical success. The present
model IS worked by hand power, and glides
over the ice with six men on it, faster than
most any horse can travel" 1t is capable
of power sufficient to draw fifty cords of
wood or dozen loaded sleds, on the ice,
and can be rendered equal to locomotive
by the use of steam. The construction is
quite simple

a gentleman from Michigan, hired man
and hired girl, were poisoned on the night
of the oath, by drinking tea with strychnine

as he was discharged the day before, and
circumstances point strongly to him. Par
ties have gone out to arrest him.
