OPINIONS OF ROBERT E. LEE.-A
correspondent of the New York Herald
called to see General Lee on the even
ing of the 3lst ult. The general inform
ed the writer that he believed the people
in that part of Virginia were better off
than those of most other sections of the
South, or even of the State, there being
no case of actual restitution. On politi-
cal subjects the general was non-rommit-
tai. 10 remark of the visitor that
Wade Hampton had been giving the
freedmen some sensible advice, he my.e-
ly replied. $50 l have heard" Being
questioned as to his view Of the duty OF
the Southern people in regard to recon-
struction he said: "You must excuse me,
sir, from expressing myself on that SUBJ
ject. My position is very peculiar one.
l am paroled prisoner, and no right to
speak upon political matters, and any,
thing / may have said has only been
among my immediate circle of friends,
from whom doubtless escaped uninten-
tionally and reached the newspaper"
l then remarked, "The report alluded
to have been published in the entire
press of the country, and in this way
ern people," which elicided the follow
ing: IT wish the Southern people to
take such measures as will most speedi-
ly restore them to their prosperity, with
that view was in favor of a convention
to except the terms of the Military bill,
but now learn that the supplementary
bill places that power in the hands Of
the military commander" remarked
such was the case, when he said. ~ hope
that every citizen who can vote, will
vote so as to secure the speedy restora-
ton and welfare of the country" He
afterwards mentioned that he disliked
being paraded in the news papers, add
ing that he never read the papers, but
confined himself to his legitimate duties
as an instructor.

Buried AAle..

A friend gives us the account OF
most terrible case of the burial alive of
a handsome young lady ct Jacksonville,
Illinois. Some time last summer,
young lady of seventeen years Of age,
suffering with the toothache, went to
bed with a small phial of chloroform,
for the purpose Of quoting her teeth.
In the morning she was found to all APP
pearances dead, which was confirmed
by the opinions Of several physicians
who were called and examined her
body. She was then buried. \ few
days since her relatives were about to
remove from Jacksonville, having loca-
ted in another State, and had the re-
mains of the young lady exhumed, for
the purpose of taking them to their
new home. Curiosity prompted the
opening of the coffin, when they were
horror stricken on finding the corpse
turned over, both hands full of hair
and her clothing torn to shreds, reveal
ing the horrible truth that the young
lady had cen buried alive. The cho-
reform had placed her in deep trance,
the awakening from which was in her
coffin and grave. The lady was engaged
at the time of her supposed death. A
more heart sickening case we never re-
member to have heard Of -AadionapoHs

GEN. MCCAUsLAND.-It will be graf
flying to the numerous friends of Gen.
McCausland, says the Fincastle Herald,
to learn that he is residing at his home
in Mason county, West Virginia, secure,
it is to be hoped, from the malice of his
foes. He has been favored by Gen.
Grant with a letter which exempts him
from any danger of Imprisonment or
trial for the Chambersburg affair, and
he has every assurance of protection
from the authorities of the State OF
West Virginia. The kind offices OF
Judge Nat Harrison were strenuously
exerted in his favor, and had great in
fluence in bringing about this desirable
result.

THE NEW ERA.
LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS.

Last week we published the proceed
h ngs of the last meeting Of the Board of
Supervisors, taken from the Berkeley
Union. We supposed at the time that
the publication was by order of the
Board, and therefore public property.
1t was, at least, not copyrighted, and
it's originality was by no means start
ling. We gave it the benefit Of our
circulation GRATIS, and now give the
Union the credit which Was not at the
time accorded, for the reason above
stated. But the excuse of the Board
that their proceedings were not pub
lished heretofore because it was too ex-
pensive to do so, is hardly sufficient.
They could have had them published
gratuitously at any time, in this paper
at least, had they desired to do SO. We
50 stated, several months ago, to a gem
tleman who approached us on the sub
iect. And did the Union favor or urge
the publication of the proceedings last
summer when this paper agitated the
question Has it ever urged or even
favored it? We think the files of the
paper will show the contrary. But we
don't wish to be captious about the
matter. We desire the proceedings of
the Board published for the benefit of
the people of the county, who have a
right to know how their money is APP
piled and disposed Of, and we shall not
be slow in giving proper credit to the
party or parties who shall be nstru-
mental in having it done.

A VIRGINIA "BIRD."-The fashionable
amusement just now, in Virginia, &C.
cording to a ~Lynchburg paper, is shoot
ing bats. ga sharp fusilade," it says,
is opened every afternoon on this
feathery tribe, from the SUBMITS Of the
hills. The birds are very numerous,
and are said to eat WELL"
To call the bat q " bird" and speak
of it as " feathsry," is about equal to
the Irishman who ON being stung by q
bee, exclaimed "'Tis n purity bird,
but how hot its little fut is |" The as
sertion that the bat Z" eats we'll" is val
liable, however, rs being the first trust
worthy information on record as to the
appetite Of that winged reptile.
The Lynchburg journal further asks /:
Can some one inform US whore all the
bats stay in the daytime, and are bats
and whip-po-wills the same thing2"
The fact is that the so-called " bat" of
Virginia is not q bat at all, but the bird
known as the nighthawk. 1t belongs
to the swallow tribe, and is also a con-
nection of the whip-poor mot "po')
will. It bears no resemblance whatever
to the bat proper, except a certain SINH
larity In its manner of flight. The vir-
ginia gentlemen may be great sportsmen
but they are evidently not well up in
ornithology.

The GREEN ENIGRAMr MINE.-A few
days ago we paid a visit to this we'll
known mine. A large shaft is down
forty feet and as well a defined a ledge
is to be seen from the top to the bottom
of this shaft as can be found in the dis
tr,ct. The rock looks splendidly. See
ing a horn nea the shaft q gentleman
who was with US horned out a small
quantity Of rock which he had partially
reduced in a mortar, N from this he
obtained the finest prospect we have
ever seen in the country. No mine in
Excelsior has been better managed than
the Green Emigrant. The ore worked
from the ledge has more than paid all
expenses of developing the mine and
crushing the rock. We were shown by
Mr.. Connell, some sulphurets from the
rock which assays over one thousand
dollars per ton. These sulphurets are
to be sent below for working. We are
firm in the belief that the Green Emil
grant boys have o "good thing and
we wish them abundant success.-MeGd-

. CONVENIENT WITH It's HANDS TED
When the Tenure of Office bill was under
discussion in Congress, the Epening POSI-
warned the Republicans that by such
legislation they would only stultify them
selves, and impede the public service,
without effecting the object they had in
view, Of tying the hands Of the Presi-
dent. Events since have proved the
correctness of our warning.
There is no doubt that the Republic
cans, in passing the Tenure of Office Act.
meant, above most other things, to keep
Mr.. Stanton in the Cabinet-but Mr..
Stanton is out.
They meant also to prevent the Presi-
dent from using the patronage of his Of
fce to affect the elections-but the pre-
vious elections should have shown them
that the American people are not the
creatures of ofice-holders, and cannot
be swayed by patronage. What was
sought to accomplish by the Tenure of
Office Act was either needless or impos-
sible. But the Republicans have, in
their haste and anger, set q mischievous
precedent, and are not unlikely to be
covered with ridicule besides.
1t is not practicable to carry on the
Government, and execute the laws, with
the Executive thus shackled aud disa-
6ied. Laws do not execute themselves.
Congress does not execute the laws. To
Sisaeie the Executive is. just so far to
disable the laws.
In the general government, as in the
state and municipal governments. II will
be found by such experiences as this.
that the Executive must be trusted With
power. With an intelligent, sensible
people behind it, no Executive can min
a country by the legitimate exercise of
the powers necessary to the pronar "a
ministration of affairs. It must bannsn
sometimes that the people shall elsc,
unfit men, but it is best that thew shall
suffer the annoyance resulting from
their indiscretion. 1t will make them
more careful for the future.
To try to a v the people from the re-
suits Of their error by special legisla-
ton, by building a fence around the
Executive, by Stacking him, even if it
were possible, would be unwise. It
would make it unimportant, presently,
whether good men or bad men were
chosen it would leave the people with.
out interest in politics I; and pave the
way smoothly to usurpstion and despet-
ism.-N. y. Post.

TYPE SETTING MISUNDERSTANDING the
many strides of invention which have
thus far made this country famous, must
be mentioned the effects that have. been
made TO produce a machine for setting
type. a vast deal OF time and money

caiiy accomplished, although it is now
nearly nifty years since Charles Bah
oidge gave 10 the world the first germ
OF a type.setting machine in his Calcu-
lator, which was 30 largely patronized
oy the British Government. 1t is true
that many inventions have from time to
time appeared, and there are several to
be found in New York to-day, and some
Of them have been in operation for sew
eral years but the numerous complex
tiles OF the printing business have pre-
sented nusua aimculties, n no ma
chine mas as YET acnieyea IN undisputed
success. IN great ainculty has been
that vento ave sought to make sim
pie machines, n therefore have made
them to do only a pert OF the work but
the result of doing a part Of the work
by machine and a part by hand has been
that the two processes took nearly as
much time as the old method. And,
when inventors have attempted more
complicated machines, they have found
them impracticable when put to the test
OF actual use.
