A Strange Incident Of the Late
War Brought to Light.
from the Deseret (jJtal0 New,

From the Deseret (Utal) News.
Yesterday, as our newly appointed
Register of the Land Office here, Mr..
Maxwell, Colonel of the First Michigan
Cavalry during the war, was busily
engaged in his office, tall, military
looking gentleman walked in, whom
he instantly recognized as Mr.. Henry
E. Lee, nephew of Gen. Robert f. Lee
and Colonel of the First Virginia Cav
airy during the rebellion. The recog-
milton was mutual, and called up bitter
and painful "reminiscences of events
that occurred during tho terrible con-
flict between the armies of the North
and the Southern COnfederacy.
1t appears that during the rebellion
the First Virginia and First Michigan
Cavalry happened TO be arrayed each
against the other, and Tie feeling Of
luminosity between the two regiments
was as bitter as that entertained to-
ward each other by two single persons
*ho are deadly enemies. At the ia
nous battle Of Gettysburg the two reg
iments fought face to face, each learn
ing to respect and hate the other for
blows given and tic courage displayed.
Between Colonies Maxwell and Lee,
the leaders of the two regiments, the
hato entertained by tho respective
members of each regiment seemed to
concentrate, aud when tie contehdipg
armies were engaged on the. James
River, the two Colonels met face to
face, and there swore to fight it out in
a personal conflict. The resolve was
no sooner formed than executed, and a
determined and deadly conflict imme-
diattly ensued, the two regiments, for
the time, being mere spectators. The
result was that Maxwell received a
sword thrust in the groin and Lee had
his shoulder disabled.
Since that day up to yesterday, we
suppose that tho two men Have never
met, and it may welt be supposed the
meeting was a strange one, and that
singular feelings were evoked on the
occasion. They both bear tile ineffiace-
able marks of hard service; Colonel
Maxwell has lost one leg, and sustained
other serious physical injuries; while
| the left arm of Colonel Lee is disabled
by the wound received in his conflict
with Col. Maxwell.

son, who tied the iron on his legs.
Captain Samuel PEBBLES tied up Gren-
Eel for saying that she was capable OF

forced to scrub and do other mental
work when he proved he was SO i'll as
to have refused to cat his rations for a
week. Ali of the officers hated Grcn-
Eel on account of letter which appear
ed in Il New York paper, which they
said Grenfel wrote, about t!yibg up the
prisoner Dunn, which letter was truth
full, as Others and myself were witness
ses to the details it related. One very
stormy night, Grenfel, with four others,
escaped in a SMALL boat, and was evil
IDENTITY drowned near the fort. His es-
cape was discovered the storm was so
severe that it was deemed too danger
GUS to pursue them, although a steam
or was at the wharf. Grenfcl frequent
ly declared his intention Of running
any risk to escape, rather than, to use
his own words, to be tortured to
death ut the fort" These are only two
or three instances of tho many acts Of
cruelty practiced at the fort:.

A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.--In tho
early rush to California, a poor hoy
named Charles Croker, crossed the
Missouri with an OK team at Omaha,
on his toilsome overland journey to the
new gold regions. Nineteen years af-
forwards to day, he arrived at Oma7
ha on bis first return visit to his old
Eastern home. He came accompanied
by his family, ili>his own special car,
for he is now Superintendent OF tho
Central Pacific Railroad, and every
mile of it has been built under his su-
pervision. He may feel an honorable
pride in the great work with which he
has been SO closely identified. His
party was four days from Sacramento.
to Omaha and OH arriving there de
lighted the citizens Will, blooming flow
ers, and festnonetl them uIson berries,
oranges and luscious cherries ffopl

eighteen hundred miles, through tho
green valley of tho Pacific slope. and
through the lingering snow drifts sf tho

THE ECUMENICAL CoUNCIL.-A
Florence paper of u recent date says
that as the interval between the pres
ent and the time of meeting of the
Ecumenical Council diminishes the at
tention given to it in public discussion
increases. So many varying statements
are made that very little trustworthy
information is obtained, and ono hard
ly knows what to believe. Changes
have been made in the original plan Of
the amphitheatre in the left tribune OF
st. Peters, where the meetings arc to
be held, and it would appear that the
prelates are to be made SO comforta-
bic that one Is led to the suppOsitiOn
that the Councils to have protracted
continuance. Each member is to have
before him praying stool, which, by
"a mechanical continuance, can be in !:
moment converted into writing desk
Besides Cardinals and Bishops, it il
not yet positively known who and
what is to have the privilege of sitting
in the Council. The place of meetin,
is to be as imposing and beautiful AZ
the skill of the artisan and decoratol
can make it, and most of the time be
tween now and December will proba
bly, be needed to- complete the work.

Death in the Air;
THE GREAT cYcLANE IN INDIA, FAM
me AND CHOLERA.

e
We copy as follows from the Calcutta
correspondence 81 the london Times,
Juno l1th,:
On Wednesday; the 9th, the city. and
surrounding cddntry were swept by a
hurricane for some twenty hours
About sunset on the previous day, the
high wind and rapid fall Of the barom-
'eter, both in the Meteorological Re-
portcr's Office and at Sanger Island, led
to the belief that cyclone was pass
ing over Bengal along the usual track,
which is between north northeast and
north-northwest.
At A A. NJ, on tho 9th, it became
apparent that we were in for hurii-
cane of no ordinary violence, and the
gusts Of wind increased in force up to
between 10 and IL, when they averaged
fifty pound to tho square foot, and
went rs high as sixty-fve pounds, or
hour. Few merchants and officials
were able to reach their Offices, while
their native employees conld not at
tempt to do SO: One of the daily
papers had two printers and the other
three. The roof Of the Lock Hospital
fell in, killing two women and wound
ing nine others Trees were blown down
brick houses were injured, and huts
were generallyleveled with the ground,
wherever they were not shcltcred.--.-
The shipping rode out with few casual
ties, but cargo boats were swept away
and some lives lost. The tide was I'M
usually high. Tie squalls continued
till toward midnight, accompanied by
heavy rain. At least eight inches fell:
Great as the violence and injury have
been, they arc nothing to our exper-
fence of 1864 and 1867.
The uneXamplcd heat there, as every
where this year, has stricken down
many an English soldier aud official,
and many an Asiatic with apoplexy
and cholera, while famine has done no
little evil in The native States. 1t will
be some time till the deserts of Wcs-
tern and. the valleys of Central India
get relief. They are almost at the
point Of rest where the monsoons,
pouring up from the Inkian Ocean and
the Bay Of Bengal exhaust thcmse Ives,
and the rain fall, which is from seven
ty to one hundred inches OH the coasts,
and from one hundred or two hundred
and fifty on the hills, slirinks into an
annual sprinkling Of from five to TWEEN
ty inches. Writing just a week ago, a
correspondent in the heat ofthe feuda-
tory territory tells me that ..things are
as quiet as sunstroke and cholera will
admit" People on the brink Of starva-
tion die quietly and make few signs.
No doubt many have died---how many
We shall perhaps never know. Villa
ges in some of the States have been
swept by cholera, and the Marwarees,
struggling along the road on their re
turn to Rajpootana have left their dead
OH the highway Many corpses were
thus seen a month ago, but now there
! Is liIl. Towns iii Holkar's territory,
about IndOrc, have suffered much.---
Death has been moving all through
Rophal also ; and in the Goona district
the ravages have been great. In
Bundelknnd, where the famine has
been sorest, cholera has been milder
than in other places; but there is a
time of trial yet to be tided over till
the faiti crops are ready:

SLURS ON WOMEN

Of all the evils prevalent among
Young men, we know of none more
blighting in Its moral effects than to
speak slightingly Ofthe virtue of women,
Nor is there anything in which young
men are more thoroughly mistaken as
the low estimate they form of the integ-
rity of womcn-not of their own
mothers and sisters. As a rule, no
person who surrenders 10 the debasing
habit is TO be trusted with any enter
prise requiring integrity of character
Plain words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is general one, end
deep-rooted. If young men are some
times thown into the society of thought
less or lewd women, they would have no
more RICH: to measure all other women
by what they see of these than they
would have to estimate the character of
honest and respectable citizens by the
developments Of crime in our police
courts. Let our young men remember
that their chief happiness of life depends
upon their utter faith in woman. No
worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philos-
ophy, no generaliza ton, can cover or
weaken this fundamental truth. 1t
stands like the. record of God itself for
it is nothing less than this-amd. should
put an everlasting seal upon lips that are
wont TO speak slightingly Of woman
