OPINION OF ROBERT f.. LEA cor
respondent of the New York Herald had
an interview with Gen. Lee on the 3lst
ult. His letter to the Herald is very in
terestng, and we copy the following
paragraph, knowing that our readers will
agree with the General that it is the duty
of a good citizen to vote, and thus aid in
securing the speedy restoration and wei,
fare of his country:
The General informed the writer that
he believed the people in that part of Vir-
ginia were better off than those of most
other sections of the South, or even OF
the State, there being no case of actual
dcstituton. On political subjects the
General was non committal. TO remark
OF the visitor that Wade Hampton had
been giving the freedmen some sensible
advice, he merely replied, 80 l have
heard y Being questioned as to his views
of the duty Of the Southern people in re
gard TO reconstruction, he said: " You
must excuse me, sir, from expressing
myself on that subject. My position is a
very peculiar one. | am paroled pris-
oner, and have no right to speak upon
political matters, and anything | may
have said has only been among my i'm
mediate circle Of friends from whom ii
doubtless escaped unintentonally and
reached the newspapers" | then re-
marked, "The reports alluded to have
been published in the entire press of the
country, and in this way will have decid.
ed effect with the Southern people,
which elected the following Il wish
the Southern people to take such meas
ures as will most speedily restore them to
their prosperity, with that view | was in

THE AMERICAN COOKING STOVE.
Another Great Improvement.
SITTING ASHES MADE EASY.

Every housekeeper knows that the process
of sitting Coal Ashes is attended with much
inconvenience and annoyance from dust, &c.
and unless the ashes are sifted much coal
will be wasted that can he used after sitting.
In the American Cooking Stove this disa gree
able process is entirely overcome by the ingc-
Nous arrangement of an ash sifjer, in the
hearth or ash box, IF the stove. by means Of
which after the CRATE is dumped into the ash
box the ashes can be sifted in a mon ent,
with the ash box all closed, and without any
dust in the room, and the coal and cinders
are all retained in q separate apartment, and
can be returned to the fire chamber, or be
removed elsewhere, and the ash pan can
then be removed containing TIE ashes with
out any dust whatever. This arrangement
does away with the old fashioned ash sflers,
and must commend itself TO all, and is an
other long stride towards perfection, and
must add largely to the already extended
reputation af this descrvedly popular stove.
This Improvement is fully secured by letters

titioners have asserted that there is nothing
that will force or hasten the growth OF the

many will say, how are we 10 diitingush
