lessening, increased, and so great wasthe jam tha
when the wedding party arrived in set of hacks
great difficulty was experienced in effectng an en-
trance. The arrival of the hacks was well arran
ged, each having ample time to discharge its pre-
cious freight ere another came. -.
Couple by couple, in marched the bridal party
amid the audible congratulations Of the crowd, the
happy twain bringing up the rear. Among those
prominent as they approached the chance, was first
the noble form of General Lee, upon whom all eyes
were centred next the father of the bride, ex,
Senator Boiling; then the sons Of Lee and their
beautifully attired fair companions The scene
here was unusually solemn and impressive, and q
breathless silence pervaded the densely crowded
church. The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
John Cosby, officiating clergyman, and amid the
most intense suppressed excitement, the bride
was given to her new lord and future protector
by her father This concluded, tha usual kissing,
hand shaking and congratulating scene ensued, the
breaking forth into murmur in the
beginning but rising gradually to perfect roar and
tumult almost deafening. Enthusiastic individu-
ais now pressed forward to clasp the hand of Lee,
or congratulate his happy son, but decided aver,

fed manner, these advances, and as soon as the
pressing crowd would permit, the party were again
in their respective hacks, on their way to the res

VIRGINIA WEDDING.

A correspondent of the New York Herald wri.
ting from Petersburg, under date Of the 2Sth ult,
gives that paper the following graphic description
Of the recent marriage of Gen. W. F. H. Lee, and
the enthusiasm created by the presence Of General
Robert E. Lee:
s'Not since the memorable event at the apple tree
nearAppomattox Courthouse, which brought peace
to our distracted and bereaved country, has there
been so brilliant and happy an affair South OF Ma
son and DKon's line as was witnessed here this
evening. The announcement of the marriage oi
General W. Fl. F. Lee to Miss Boiling, daughter
of ex-senator Boiling of this city, was matter Of
the most intense interest to oil the late followers o
the groom's father, and attracted large number
of visitors anxious to witness the happy event. Al
three, P. NJ, the Northern train, going South
brought over from Richmond the bridegroom ac
companied by his father, General R. E. Lee, and
bis brothers, General Custis Lee, General Fit
Hugh Lee and Captain R. E. Lee, Jr. The arri
val of the distinguished party was eagerly looked
for and large crowd assembled to greet their for
mer chief and his SONS upon his first visit to tht
scenes that have long since become historic Chez
upon cheer rent the air, handkerchief were waved
from the balconies of houses by fair hands, and Lei
was kept with uncovered head while in the car

Malone and others 1t being Thanksgiving Day

BUTTER AND CHEESE FACTORIES.

Forty years ago, the State of New York grew a
surplus of Grain (Wheat) for expectation, and
"Genesee Flour" was known and priced in many
foreign markets. Canal-boats took in wheat at al
most every store-house from Syracuse westward
and brought it to Troy, Albany, and this City, for
manufacture and sale. Now, all is changed. The
Genesee valley is no longer mainly devoted to
wheat even the counties west of Cayuga Lake no
longer grow their own grain. Sheep husbandry,
once popular, is now on the wane. Dairying is
rapidly supplanting all other farming in our ru-
raj districts; and we judge that the next census
will return thrice the number of COWS in our State
reported in that which preceded it by Decade
And even Dairying itself is undergoing decided
and rapid transformation, through the introduc-
ton and multiplication of factories for the syste
matte and wholesale production Of Butter and
Cheese.
These factories are located near the centre Of
each radius of three or four miles wherein grass
and COWS abound-usually but one in township
as yet, though they are being rapidly multiplied.
A min-stream and water-power often determine
the site, though we believe small engine and
boiler flour to ten horse,) are preferred to water
power. A cold and copious spring is well nigh in
dispensable; a good stock of ice well stored and
saved, is desirable A large reservoir (ike eel,
lar) is dug in the ground and tightly walled with
planks board platforms extend into this, floating
on two or three feet of water, constantly renewed
from the spring. In this reservoir, deep pals OF
cans are set and filed three-fourths full Of milk
they sinking and floating in like depth Of water.
The milk remains here twenty-four to thirty-siz
hours, when the cream is taken off and churned
by steam or water-power- to twenty churns be,
ing operatedat once, with no draft on human mus
Gle. The butter thus made each day, from cream
in the very highest condition, is of such uniform
and superior quality as to bring from five to ter
cents per pound more than fair farm dairies will
command. And the milk, thus skinned, is ther
made into Cheese, rather mild in flavor, but palat
able and of very fair quality. We never wish te
eat better than some of this, made wholly Of skim
med milk, and sold by the makers at ten cents PEI
pound to their entire satisfaction. 1t is cheaper
than Pork, and may be substituted as staple ar
ticle Of diet for laboriDg men, to their great ad
vantage and comfort
The milk is brought in by the farmers Of tht
yicinage, weighed as received, and placed in ths

shook his head in doubt.
The Indians that served in the late Confederate
States army (those that were under my immedi-
ate command I can speak for,) Of course did not
understand the issues that the two sections of the
country were trying to maintain but I can truly
say that the hrger part of them did all in their
power for the cause they espoused, and fought on
ly for peace once again to their homes.
1t was this result that they thought they were
fighting for, and many of them lost their lives
in its defence. They were true to their homes and
iresides. "I
After the war they willingly returned to their
allegiance to the United States Government and
would as willingly take up arms in defence Of the
Government as they did against it. All they ask
is hunting ground and resting place. "'

THREE CONFEDERATEs IN PARIS.

THREE CONFEDERATEs IN PARIS.
There are three Confederates now in Europe who
are not adventures. They ought not to be forgot
ten by any one, and so far as this random, off hand
small talker'' can recall them, shall not be forgot
ten by comfortable bodies at home, who are too
apt to be unmindful and migrate. We refer to
John G. Breckinridge, Isham G. Harris, and A.
Dudley Mann. A recent letter from Pnis makes
mention of the three. General Breckenridge, lives
quietly on the Boulevard Malesherbe, with his fam
lily. He is enjoying good health, and though he
seeks obscurity, cannot wholly isolate himself from
his American friends He looks with great inter
est upon transpiring events both at home and a-
bout him, and confidently expects to be. able to re-
turn to Kentucky and resume the profession from
which he was withdrawn so early. Those who DO
not know him would be, surprised to find in a man
who, twenty years ago, was major in the United
States service, and has since been the most bril-
liant party leader of his time, vice president, .
senator, lieutenant general, and q secretary Of
war, a handsome young fellow turned Of forty, with
graceful manners and fifty years Of life in him Be
fore he is laid on the SHELF New England may Sc
cede, and we may have campaign in Massashu-
sets, in whichhe and Grant will command couple

says the letter from which we quote, lis in Liver
pool he hasvisited Paris, but he makes his home
in England. Isee little change in him, except that
his travels and adventures make him more inter
esting Foreign Life does not suit him, however.
He is a thorough American, overfowing with'ac-
tivity and animation, too earnest, too impatient,

GEN. GRANT has DEFNED.-Gen. Grant has
fully defined his political status His platform
seems to place him squarely with the Jacobins.
There can no longer be any reasonable doubt as
to who the Jacobn candidate for President should
be. The Grant platform is one on which all the
Jacobins can agree. But to the platform. A
Washington dispatch says: - :.
''Some weeks ago distinguished Jacobin poll
tician talked With Gen. Grant about the hattering
prospects of the the Black Republican party, with
the view Of obtaining some impression but on the
conclusion of his remarks, the General cooly said:
'sWhat do you think of Marshal Browns slut's
pups?" -,
"Marshd Browns Slut'spup's" will be the next
Jacobin platform and the author Of 50 distinguish
ed sentiment, will be the candidate Who now
dares to doubt the wisdom or Craftsmanship Of
General Grant? - 70. - -..'' .' ~.

PERJURY BY SOUTHERN MEN.

The case of Mr.. BlodgeH, who has been indicted
in the United States District Court for perjury BY
a jury composed exclusively of Southern n.who
are willing to swear, and have sworn, that they
gave no aid comfort or countenance to the South
in her recent struggle for independence, is sugges
tive. Itdoes not stand alone. It is but one, we
regret to say, of numerous instances that illustrate
the loose moral sentiment of the times, and the
nordipate desire for gain engendered by the trans
actions of the war The temptation to do wrong
was greater than they could bear, and the oppres-
sion of the North alta time of great individual
want and suffering, tending to make hypocrites Of
men heretofore considered honest, has had It's full
share in the business. With very many the ar
gument has been: the Government has no right to
impose such conditions and restrictions; am in
want and must make something for my family;
OF, I am rich and want to be richer, and thereis
no moral guilt in subscribing to declarations thus
wrongfuIy imposed, even though it should amount
to a palpable flsehood. 'Iedon' 'tamount to any

Herald office with an article exposing the

who had accepted it he asked who the

at the Poll of this Town, which was pre-

MED the right of franchise, this denial the
Poll committee declared only emanated
from the fact that the committee appoint
ed the one on the part of the Govern
ment, namely, Mr.. G. Tucker, and the
other appointed by the peoples represen-
%tatlves, and therefore on the part of the
people, namely, Mr.. H. Hansen, had

persons qualified to vote or be voted for,
but it must be remembered, that both

der the circumstances / can no longer
consider the omission entirely originating
from neglect or oversight, for it is evident,
that when [ appeared at the Poll the COM

recognised my right of franchise, and

paired this neglect or omission by adding
my name to their list but acquiescence to
this being stubbornly and unreasonably
refused, [ consider myself cheated out of

cessary on similar future occasions, that
the Government will adopt such measures,
as will furnish the people a barrier to
guard them from the inVasions of their
own representatives.
[ must therefore hope that in future the
Government will have recourse to the
adoption of such measures as will practi-
cally, and judiciously develope the benefit
to be generally derived by an impartial
and faithful Interpretation of those excel
lent Laws which the Mother Country has
so literally extended to the colonies, and
the which our ancestors in time past, and
in all chimes have strenuouSly labored to
procure for the preservation of our liber-
ties.
And let us also nope that by such weak
individuals as those herein cited, the liber-
ties of the people Of this Island will never
again be invaded or determined upon.
The conduct of the Poll committee yes
terday has drawn a line of separation be-
tween the privileges awarded by the
Laws, and the people to whom these pri-
Wedges are awarded and more p%articu-
larly between the representative, and the
constituent body of the Colonial Council
of this Island.

ty, and willingness to interpret the Law
Of franchise judiciously, and perhaps to
show their politeness denied me the right
of a vote, and to afford the most c%onvinc-
ing proof Of their morality and equity,
they would not condescend to correct their
own error, although fully convinced of my
legal qualifications to vote or be voted for;
