ALI. BURNETT.-We had the
pleasure of attending the entertain
ment of this renowned humorist on
Tuesday evening last, and need only
say thut we were delighted. Those
who failed to hear ALT. Burnett-and
many did-missed a great treat. He
is the persOnification of wit and hui
NOR. His lectures, &C., are laugha-
BILE even to side-splitting. We hope
he may visit us again before long,
and be able to secure a more befit-
ting place for his exhibitions Then
we will promise him good audiences.

COMMERCIAL.

NEW ORLEANS, June l, 6 P. NJ.
FRIEND BOSwoRTH
The cotton market has been steady
to-day, with a fair demand. The
sales foot up 5000 bales, at 20 a 264
C. for good ordinary; pa a III c. for
low middIing; and PSI a 2S4 for
middling. The stock now on sale
does not much exceed 10000 bales,
which gives but little room for selec-
tons, the greater portion being of
low quality.
The sales in Liverpool to-day were
$4,000 bales, the market closing firm
at liz d. for middling uplands, and
liz d. for middling Orleans.
General business dull weather
warm.
Yours truly,

Will General Lee Attend the Gettys-
burg Reunionp

The Richmond Enquirer in an article urging
General Lee to be present at the Gettysburg
meeting, says:
at must be conceded on all sides that no
man living knows so much about the battle of
Gettysburg as Robert f. Lee. Differences Of
opinion as to locations have discovered them
selves among the federal officers which cannot
be reconcilcd by a reference to General Meade.
Now, General Lee cannot only set thcsedificr-
enccs at rest, but by fixing the location of bis
own forces, contribute a measure Of justice to
them, of whicifthey may otherwise be shorn.
THAT a kindly and fratcrnal feeling and
mutual respect exist between both the officers
and men of the old Army Of Virginia and the
Army Of the Potomac is not questioned by any
one who belonged to or has associated with
either side But the spectacle Of the officers
Of those two armies meeting upon one Of their
most desperately contested fields, and discuss
ing with mutual amity its various features, and
uniting in designating those peculiar character
lStlcS and points oil interest Whlch possess F"
value to the historian and the student of mill
tary science, would do more to heal the bitter
ness between the sections than perhaps any
other event that could possibly occur. The
whole Christian world would applaud the scene,
and statesmen, financiers, and interested men
of every calling everywhere would see in it an
unmistakable indication that the American
Union is now re-established as firmly as it ever
was or ever will be-"
Cen Lee in declining to be present says:
MY engagements will not permit me to be
present. believe if there could not add any
thing material to the information existing on
that subject think it wisest, moreover, not
To keep open the sores of war, but to follow

commit to oblivion the feelings it ergendercd."

Ex-senator Browns Letter.

Il is true that many Of the Oldest aud ablest
statesmen Of the South, especially those ofthem
who were actively prominent in the Rebellion,
lave gracefully retired from public life, but
now and then we hear from them. Ex-Sena-
tor Brown Of Mississippi has recently come out
in an excellent and well-timed letter to Judge
Dent, in which he tersely sets forth the cir
cumstauces inducing the proposed nomination
Of that gentleman for Governor.
He states that Dent, being brother-in-law
Of the President, an earnest Republican, and
known to be in sympathy with the admins
tration. was thought to be acceptable to all
around. His fitness for the office, personal pop
ularity. stauuch union sentiments, all were
guarantees Of success. To the surprise of the
best friends Of Genl. Grant in that State and
elsewhere. he has allowed his letter to Dent to
be published, wherein he plainly states that
Dents supporters are not Of the truly faithful
stripe and that he cannot favor bis election.
Again, Brown asserts that the postponement
of the State election until November, so as to
prevent its influence in the State elections in
Pennsylvania, &c, was a severe blow upon
them. because it hecessitated a warm political
campaign during the busiest season Of cotton
picking. thereby entailiDg great losses upon
the planters. Especially was this to be dep
recated because Of its well-known demoralz-
ING effect upon the "citizens Of African de-
scent. who, big with the newly invested rights
Of citizenship, are ever ready to clay down
the shovel and the hoe aud take up the wea-
pous ofpoli,ical warfare run to big political
meetings, and go it with rush generally.
The military Governor of Mississippi, Gen
Amcs, who's candidate for the L. S. Senate,
against whom the gravcst charges are preferred
10y the moderate republicans: a man who
could not get enough of his own supporters to
il the offices made vacant by his outrageous
prescription Of loyal republicans, is handled
without gloves by the indignant Ex-senator.
He empGaJically asks, how can tue people of
the State, remembering the past, ever be viii
ling to support such man, or to pave the way
for him to u'is-rcprcseut them in the L. S.
Senate?
In view Of all The facts in this and similar
cases of Federal interference in State matters,
the administration ought to know that, sooner
or later, such oversteppiug the bounds of Ex-
ccutive authority, in hampcring the dearest
right Of freemen, the elective franchise will
most assurcdly be coudemre by risht-think-
ing men all over the land, irrespective Of par
