NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN IcE.-A few days
since we noticed the arrival Of the late

tow of the steamer Jersey Blue, laden with
ice. We have now to announce that the
Jersey Blue, Captain Cummiskey, saiieu

ram-the Texas--which will be there 1aoon
with ice and towed to this port. Inc ieS sas

condition wes sold at auction ny ane govern,
ment. She is 236 feet long, 80 Wioe, IL
deep, and is very strong. THESE TWO YES
sells will be towed alternately between
this port and the Kennebec, laden with
ice. on account of Messrs. b. s. Wright
3 Co., of this city, who own them, and
who are now actively engaged in de-
veloping the ice trade. They can bring
ice much cheaper and in better con-
dition on board of their vessels than it
could be transported by railroad. The late
rebel ram Columbia is also new vessel.
She was built at the expense of the LADIES'
of South Carolina, who intended her as
present to the rebel Government. What
changed Here are two warlike vessels, which
were originally designed to sink, burn, or
destroy Yankee ships, ROW used BY the an
KEGS as ice-drogers, and some OF the ice
transported in them will probably be sen,
to cool the stomachs of those who produced
them. After this peaceful exhibition we
NAV take courage, and hope that the good
time predicted by Isaiah is not far on-tne
time when people "shall beat their swords
into ploughshares and their spear. into
pruning hooks; nation shall not Int up

OuAhi.ol iEoN LILLE, A.,
August 18th, 1868.

I'LL, lcoo. ,
Yesterday being our county court-day,
our town was enlivened by the presence OF
n larger concourse of people than it has been
our good fortune to see for many long day.
The nomination of "Seymour and Blair"
followed by the recent much-needed rains,
has inspired our people with fresh hope and
courage, and the gloom and doubt OF former
days have given place to the bright hopes and
pleasant anticipations of future peace ana
quiet, which now seem destined to become
ours ere many more +" moons shall wax ana
wane."
The most interesting part of the days pro-
ceedings was thrilling speech delivered py
the q" great philosopher" 81. NJ, !" the I'M
mortal. :" Long and loud were the cheers
which greeted him, as, mounting upon hls
stand, he poured forth u torrent OF burning
eloouence. Seldom have we listened to such
bitter denupciations and such sound logic
az there fell from his lips, "The veil was
rent in twain, and new light dagned on the
minds Of his audience. He said that the
soldiers who fought under the Confederate
flag were as sincere in their motives as
those who fought under tho Federal Hug
the former fighting with the idea that they
we're invaded, and were defending their
homes and fresides the latter with the
idea that they were sustaining the national
ity of the Government, which the former
we're destroying. He MAS compelled to ig-
more reconstruction because it changed no
principle Of truth. He wished to look at
the truth from all standpoints without iden-
tifying himself with either. He loved
truth for "truth's sake" He felt conf
dent that sooner or later all prejudice will
be removed and his theory triumph. 81.
N" will speak ut Waynesboro' on the
9th, at Culpeper Courthouse on the It'll, and
at White Sulphur Springs on the 10th OF
the present month. We hope all who can
win go to hear him, as he is, without doubt,
the greatest philosopher of the age. .~

Lefebre. a French painter of twenty-five

Lefebre, French painter of twenty-h
has now on exhibition in Paris an " Etude
de Femme.'' It is q marvel of beauty, and
it is at once dream of poetical genius and
a realization Of the perfection of the human
form, 1t is simply q young female lying
among crimson cushions; there IS nothing
to screen o limb or muscle. Even her
hair. which seems to live, is cut short IN
little curls, and thereby displays q head
whose contour combines all that we would
dream. The eyes are perhaps the most
wonderful attraction of the whole picture
they have various expressions, and one pc
lieyes they move after looking down into
their depths for some time. The jury has
awarded the highest prize to this master
piece but, then, Dumas fills has purchased
it, and VIC wager his knowledge in this etude
excels that Of the jury. A good story is
afloat about this picture, which has the
merit of being true. A beautiful woman
of the hdute monde sat some time ago for
her portrait to Lefebre. Not liking the
picture, she returned it, and there the mat
ter ended. But the artists revenge was to
come. The grand lady, in lounging through
the salons the other day, was unuttcrably
shocked to recognize in the far-famed
"Etude de Femme" her own face. Scandal
is busy, and those who know her ask, Did
she pose 2" An old lady in gray silk, and
muslin about her neck, who ought to be q
Ouakeress, if she is not one, dear old soul,
could not make up her mind upon more
thana furtive glance at the Etude." She
turned away, and signing, said: 1t is, in,
deed, her face but l hope she only posed
for her face" The granddame is furious
but there is no rcmedy-the picture is
already immortal.

He will say to us: I placed before you, IN

which the destiny of the human race was
weighed in the one was good, and the other
evil. You were but a grain OF sand, no
doubt, but who told you that the grain OF
sand would not have caused the balance to
incline on my side? You have intelligence
