As the time Is near at hand when the draw.

Gen. Meade.

!, A Long Branch letter in the New York
Gazette says: .ssWe had pleasant chat with
General Meade, yesterday; he gives his
views with modest sort of freedom, that
is simply easy in manner. General Meade
has an interesting family OF six children
were playing croquet on the lawn; the ell
dest son is in the army. The General told
us that during the four years of the war, he
spent only twenty light days with his fam
ily-just one week year; a good example,
we remarked, for subordinates. He has q
cottage rented, seven miles from Philadel-
rest of the summer, proceeding himself on
an official tour of inspection, as far as
Maine.'

n Curious Amhir

!. "A very singular affair is reported at AL
ton, N. II. Mr.. Hurd and Miss Hanscombe
have become intimate acquaintances, and
are both highly respectable. In December
last the lady received an anonymous letter,
denouncing Hurd, and full OF warnings and
threatenihgs. Since that time several let
ters of the same purport have been received
by both parties some of them even threat
ening assassination. They were regarded
as simply scare; but since then the lady
has had stones thrown at her in the even
ing several times, one of which knocked
her sehseless; and a few days ago, as she
was walkingin an orchard, some one came
up behind her and struck her two heavy
blows which stunned and nearly killed her.
The affair naturally creates considerable
excitement but the Williams have as yet
eluded all vigilance.

Of visit paid by Gen. Lee to friend in

gentlemen called to see him, but, in defer
enee to his wishes, the citizens refrained
from any public expression of their regard
and Affection. mo one had the bad taste
to introduce the subject of politics." and
the war was, if mentioned at all, only in
icidentally referred to. The Independent
ever, that whenever Gen. Lee does refer to
the political condition of the country, he
advises a submission, in good faith, to the
result of the war-a strict obedience to the
laws, and that everything which could be
tortured even into an evidence of continued
disloyalty Should be avoided"
