A Remarkable Revelation.

A gentleman in Roanoke county, Va,
writing to the Wheeling Register, makes
the subjoined revelation:
while in Marion, Smyth county, a
feVdays ago, had the pleasure of sew
eral lengthy chats with Hon. Fayette
McMullin. Mr.. McMullin says that
since the war he was one day in the Pres
ident's house, in Washington, conversing

coin being extremely anxious to Dffhg
about peace honorable alike to both
seAjons of the country, and foreseeing
and wishing to avoid the political CON
sequences of the military subjugation of
the South, sent him Mr. Blair) to Rich
mond to confer with Mr.. Davis and learn
what arrangement of the difficulties could
be made. He was passed through the
lines of the contending armies and con
Quoted to Mr.. Davis house in Richmond.
After long consultation with Mr.. Davis
and other prominent gentlemen for whom
Mr.. Davis sent, aud for whom Mr.. Blair
inquired, Mr. Davis said he had no pro-
position to make. Mr.. Blair then pro-
posed that Gen. Lees army be marched
into Mexico against the French that
Gen. Grant would follow and support the
movement that the united armies would
drive out Macmillan; and then the
Southern States should name their own
terms of reconstruction, everything short
of independence being guaranteed. At
Mr. Davis request this proposition was
made in writing, and after some consul
tation and reflection, loas signed and &C
cepted by him Mr.. Blair returned to
Washington, and Mr. Lincoln was high
ly delighted with the success of the ne
gotiation. 1t was - the hope of con
summating this arrangement that Mr..
Lincoln and Mr. Seward met the ''peace
commissioners" Hons. Stephens, Hun
ter and Campbell at Fortress Monroe;
but there, to Mr. Lincoln's chagrin, the
committee declared that they had been
instructed by Mr.. Davis to insist upon
the independence of the South, aud
would listen to no other proposal. And
thus the whole affair came to most
lame and impotent conclusion Such il
the substance of the account related to
Gov McMullin by Mr.. Blair. Mr.
McMullin says that he asked and obtain
ed Mr. Blair's permission to make the
statement public, but he had refrained
from giving it publicity pending Mr
Davis trial, fearing lest it might in some
way prejudice the case.

Memorial Day.

We hardly need remind our readers
that Wednesday, the 26th of May, is
Memorial Day, and eonsecrated to the
memory of the Southern dead. 1t be-
comes us again to prepare to do honor to
the martyred heroes who slumber under
the sod of our beautiful cemetery-our
Southern dead. Let all who loved the
cause for which they died, all who gave
themselves up to revel IN the glowing
sunlight of that brightest and grandest
of blighted hopes, bring sweet spring
flowers to strew upon these untimely
graves.
On the 26th of May, 1866, the Con-
federate army of the Trans Mississippi
Depa rtment surrendered to the Federal
commander.
On the 26th of May ended the most
heroic struggle recorded in the calendar
of time.
On the 26th of May strong arms fell
nerveless and stout, devoted hearts were
broken, and the dropping, wavering, bat
tie blackened flag of conquered people
baptized in blood and glory, went down
to float in the pride of victory no more.
On the 26th of May the grave receiv-
ed the corpse of nations solitary,
mighty, almost idolatrous hope.
On the 26th of May nation died and
was buried, and immortelles we're scat
tered over the sod that was to hide its
form forever.
Bring flowers on this the Funeral Day
of dead nation, and place them softly
and reverently upon the graves of those
who died strong in the vain hope that by
their martyrdom death would be power
less to touch the land they loved.
Let those true and noble women, who
are types of the truest and noblest OF
their sex, bring the richest, the fairest
and most fragrant blossoms of spring,
and gently and sadly deck each quiet
home with love for these and charity for
all who died brave mans death.-Ler-

4 correspondent thus writes of the
Confederate burial place at Malvern Hill,
Virginia:
The cemetery keeper offered to act as
our guide, and after showing US THE fort
and its adjacent rifle pits, he escorted us
to large field on the northwest side of
the fort, and there most terrible scene
presented itself. Thousands of Confed-
crate soldiers who had fallen in their
desperate and persistent efforts to retake
Fort Harrison were buried by the Con-
federates where they fell. Twenty acres
or more have just been plowed up by the
owner of the field, and the plowshare
turned to the surface all these skeletons.
Over the whole tract the bones are strew-
ed in profusioD, and grinning skulls
stare the visitor in the face on every hand.
When the farmer was questioned, he said
theland was now the richest piece he
had, and, in justification of his sacrile-
gious act, stated that she didn't put EN-
there, nohow." We learned afterward
that the bones had been taken away by
the cartload and sold to fertilizIng mills
in Richmond. Two humane men, too
poor to do anything else, came one day
when we were there ,and attempted to burn
some of the bones to prevent the wretehes
from carting them off. But a long job
they will have if they attempt to burn
them all

How THE MONEY GoEs-The Lou
isville Sun recently gave detailed state
ment of the contingent expenses of
the State, chiefly in the way of furnish
ing the royal palace of Gov. Stevenson,
with proper regal equipments. Some
thing in the neighborhood of thirty three
thousand dollars were sent in fitting up
the ramshackle old house in which the
Governor resides. All sorts of fanciful
foolery and frippery appear to have been
purchased without regard to cost, and
with no relevance whatever to the II
payers who have to foot the bill. The
same money could have built crcdita-

A Deadly KISS.

A singular practice obtains among
Laneros it is that of inoculation with
the juice of certain plants possessing
alexipharmic virtues, after which the
most poisonous snakes be handled
with impunity. 9
1t appears, nevei ess, absolutely
necessary to renew the incubation at
different epochs of mans life, as in the
case of vaccination it loses its power sf-
ter time. 1t was, no doubt, owing to
his neglect of the rule, that gentleman
in the town of Ocumare, some years ago,
this sort of inoculation. Don N. Ugarte
had kept rattle snake In q drawer du-
ring four years with it he occasionally
amused himself, no more harm resulting
therefrom than if it had been kitten.
One day, on returning home from his
rounds in the plantation, he felt in the
humor of playing little with his old
pet, and accordingly took him out of his
berth and placed him upon the writing
desk before him. One of the children
who had also been inoculated happening.
to be near, the father suggested that he
should kiss the reptile; to this the child|
objected very decidedly; the foolish par

not be compelled to touch the loathsome
creature whereupon the father exciaim-,

an old gentleman, whose wife and son, a
young man, composed happy family.
One day company of Union cavalry
