How Gen. Lee told Jeff. Davis Of the
Fall Of Fort Pulaski.
rom Ed De Leon's Letters in the NY. Citizen.

rTOin Iu De 1SOl ) LeltS.S III inc N CitlZen.
And here, AZ interesting little episode
relating to General Lee, whom | have
never seen since, may not be out of
place:
Immediately after receiving my ap-
pointment | was with the President in
his private cabinet, when Gen. Lee came
i'll with telegraph dispatch in his hand
and calmly addressing Mr.. Davis said:
81 have some news from Savannah,
Mr.. President" Mr.. Davis looked up
quickly, a shade of anxiety OH his face,
and replied: 81 hope it is good news"
II regret to say it is not" calmly replied
Gen. Lee, 'Fort Pulaski is taken" A
flash of vexation passed over the face of
the care-worn President. Should this
have beet SO, Gem Lee? You know
that fort and examined It's detences q
short time since" ain my Judgment it
was impregnable," said Gen. Lee, and
went on to state what those defences
were, adding, with his habitual fairness,
'Our information, as yet, is too scanty
to allow us to Judge OF the merits of
the case. This thing only is certain
the fort has surrendered"
What struck me most in this inter
view, was the manner, in which these
two leaders took this reverse; the un-
shaken fortitude, the almost Indian stoi-
cism, displayed by Gen. Lee, and the alb
sence Of all petulent complaint on the
part of the President. 1t was lesson
IN selfcommand and dignity, for both
felt, doubtless, more than they cared to
confess to each other.
At that time Gen. Lee, unworn by the
anxieties and privations which afterward
aged him SO rapidly in appearance, was
I think, one of the handsomeSt' men | ev
er saw. The white head which now
gives patriarchat dignity to his appear
ance, he did not then wear. His face
was shaven very closely, and small,
mustache shaded his upper lip. Both in
face and form he looked like young
man, while the stately figure, carried
with military erectness, induced one
who passed him by to turn and look
again.

GENERAL LEES LOYAL INSTITUTION. u
Facts are being daily developed which
pove that Washington College, Lexing-
ton, Va, of which General r. E. Lee is
President, is one of the most virulent
rebel institutions in the land-a school
for tie propagation of hatred to the Gov
ernment and its loyal people. From the
Principal down to the humblest tutor,
the Faculty are throughly rebel in senti-
ment, and act accordingly, ifw may be-
lieve Lexington correspondent of the
New York Independent 1t is only a
few weeks since that Mr. E. G. Johnson,
a merchant OF Lexington, who unfortun-
ately hailed from the East, was attacked
on the North river, while skating, by
seventy-five young sprigs OF chivalry,
students at the College, and severely
beaten, simply becaue he was a "Ia an
kee." Mr.. Johnson applied to General
Wilcox for protection, and the latter
called on General Lee, who promised to
prevent further outrages, and General
Wilcox was satisfied. The students,
however, gave Dir. johnson notice that
if he did not leave Lexington within a
specified time, they would hang him,
and through the counsel of his friends
he did leave. In view of such facts as
these, is it not astonishing that Henry
Ward Beecher, Horace Greeley, Gerrltt
Smith, and other Northern men will
lend their countenance and give of their
means to support such hot-bed of pros
cription and embryo treason?

The present actors in the British Par
Lament are startling TIE world with the
suddenness of their conviction and con-
version on the Irish question. 1t seems
incredible, in the light of the past history
of English legislation, that the Ministry
should have been so terribly defeated, in
very full House, on question like that
on which the vote was taken at two o.
clock this morning, April A. Scarcely
have the sheets which announced the ac-
cession of Mr.. Disraeli to, the Premier
ship of the empire, become dry, before he
is defeated by sixty majority upon vi
tai question Of the present administration.
The triumph of Gladstone is complete,
and the defiant Prime Minister, who, but
a few days since, seized the gauntlet with
provoking sarcasm, and the exaItation
of assured victory, retires from the con-
test overwhelmed with discontinue. As
the ministry threatened to resign if de-
feQted, the situation still retains increas-
ing interest.

WHOLE NUMBER g55.

There are fifteen ferry lines connecting
New York with surrounding places, and
employing eighty-fve ferry boats'.5 Dur
ing the year 1866 about eighty millions
of passengers were transported-forty
millions upon the Brooklyn Union ferries
alone. The latter company. averaged
one thousand two hundred trips daily.-
On many occasions one hundred thou
sand persons have crossed Fulton Ferry
alone, in twenty-four hours.
BY the way, it is declared that the
death-rate by accidents is less on the n.
York ferries than in any place in the
world where so many people are gather
ed, During 1867, only one person was
killed on the Elizabethport Ferry, and
nineteen fell into the water on the Union
ComPany's boats in attempting to jump
on or of, but all were rescued. The lat
ter company have made an affidavit that
during the space of thirty years oily two
persons have been killed on their boats.
These figures are astonishing, consider
ing the heedlessness of the crowds con
stantly crossing upon them. Every man
seems determined to be the first on or
off, whatever be the consequences.

Fun AT HoME-Don't be afraid of a
little tun at home, good people Don't
shut up the house lest the sun should
fade your carpets and your hearts lest
hearty laugh shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there If you want
to ruin your sons, let them think that
all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, VIXEN
they come home at night. When once
home is regarded as only a place to
eat, drink and sleep in, the work is be-
gun that ends in gambling houses and
reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun andrelevation somewhere;
if they do not find it at their own hearth
stones, it will be sought at other and
perhaps less profitable places. There
fore let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the homestead delightful with
all those little arts that parents so perfect
ly understand Don't repress the bouy-.
ant spirit of young children. Halt an
hour of merriment, round the lamp and
FIRE light at home, blots out the remem-
brance of many a care and annoyance du-
ring the day: and the best safeguard
they can take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of bright little
domestic sanCtum.
