to $4,000, we'll armed and organized, and
that any number can be raised az soon

quire no men from the United States,

and many in Congress favor this.

"Rsbsls" in the Cabinet.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin proposes
General Robert e. Lee for a position in
Grants Cabinet. The following is a
part of the article favoring his appoint
mont:
As to the Southern repre- sentatiyes
in the Cabinet, who should they be ?
We know that in what we utter we shall
differ widely with most men in the North.
but we have long held to the opinion
that Grant, the soldier, Grsut, the mag
unanimous, Grant, elect Of the people,
could properly aud nobly tender one OF
his Cabinet appointments to Robert f..
Lee, by all odds the first and noblest
man in the Rebel Confederscy. It
would do vastly much to heal the sore
differences between the North and South;
it would make our lately alienated South
ern brethren feel that they had a near
place in our hearts and our homes, that
we are now one nation. that our glory is
their glory, and that they have large
share in the success Of the administTa-
ton Of our great President"
That's the tslk-the magnanimity that
should be shown, and il followed up
would indeed "heal the sore difference
between the North aud the South" No
better appointment could be made for
the War Department; aud there is no
man in the North that bears q better
character than Gen. Lee BE is a Chris

New YoRK, January 2l.-Full particu-
lars of the wreck of the steamship Cult
City, off the coast of Nortb Carolina,
show that twenty-one sailors and one
passenger were lost. The sufferings
among the three who were saved were in

during forty-eight hours of hunger and
thirst five of them fell into the sea, and
we're drowned. The remaining three were
finally picked up and saved.

From the London Times, October e.

The news of the finding of the body of Jean
Kinck, at Guebwiller, in AlSace, appears to
have been premature. Were it confirmed, as
it will probably soon be, it would supply the
only missing link in the chain of horrors that
make up the Pantin tragedy. There is indeed
no longer any doubt as to the head of that ILL
fated family having met with the same violent
death as his wife and all his children for all
suspicious as to his guilt have fallen to the
ground, and his non-appearance under present
circumstances only admits of one terrible ex-
PLANTATION. All the particulars of the event are
not yet before US, but enough is known to allow
humanity to breathe again. The wholesale
butchery laid hare before US is indeed appalling;
but it IS, at least, Invested of that domestic
character which aggrayatedit its %enormity. There
is only one responsible agent in the deed, and
his motives and calculations, which are snow
openly revealed, go far to prove that the depth
of his villany was hardly commensurate with
his shortsightedness.
Let US endeavour to sum up the main facts
which may be deemed relevant to the case.
There lived in Roubaix, in French Flanders, a
family named Kinck, consisting of Jean Kinck,
a native of c uebwilIer, in Alsace of his wife,
Marie Rousselle, from TOurcoing, in French
Flanders FIVE of their children, and a son of
Jean by a former wife, named Gustave. Jean
Kinck was a manufacturer, industrious and
thrifty, who had accumulated from 4,0O01. to
6,O00l.-a little fortune for one in his rank of

AN OLD STORY.

The moral Of the late congressional dis
turbance was written many hundreds Of
wears ago. and remains visible over a hum
dred volumes Of Roman, Grecian, Floren-
tine, Germanic. English and French Iegis-
lativs history. 1t is brief and simple. The
two houses Of Congress engage in scheme
to chop of the powers Of the Executive.
They succeeded Of course. Then they turn
to the Supreme Court which they reduce
t, a standing committee. Having thus
destroyed the two coordinate
branches of tho Government the magistra-
cy and the judiciary, and lodged the entire
authority o. the State in themselves, they
quarrel with one another. The House
makes an issue with the Senate, and. As
tire lower body outnumbers the higher, it
will have no trouble in carrying it point
whenever. It sees fit to push its issue to
direct conflict. This is the first step to
anarchy. which is the vestihule of monar-
chy, and that is the direction Of Radical
ism.- Commercial Bulletin. - .~,.e

EXIT OF MEssRs. BREcKrNRlDGE AND BEN
JAMIN FROM THE CoNFEDERAcY-There
are few facts connected with the escape
of General Breckinridge and Mr.. Benjamin
from the Confeleyacy which are perhaps
not generally known. After the surrender
Of General Lees army, both General
Breckinridgr ami Mr. B,njamin made their
way to Florida. Gen. Breckin,idge struck
the State near Monticello. where he found
friends who assisted him in getting to Ma
rion county, from whence he hoped 70 fir,i
an opportunity to get out Of the country.
General Breckinridge spent number Of
days in hunting and visiting with his
friends in Marion. but knowing that he
could not remain there long, bis friends
procured a small metallic boat, in which
he and his companions, Colonel Wilson
and Captain Wood. and the Generals
faithful servant, soon found themselves
ascending the St. Johns river. The party,
after much toll, reached New Smyrna.
where they found 4 schooner which car
ried them safely 70 Nassau, N. P. The
General was known as Colonel Cabel..
NJ. Benjamin also struck F,or'da, near
| Monticello, where he met friends who as
sisted him on to the vicinity Of this place.
Here, NJ. Benjamin hoped to find some
way To Cuba, OF to one Of the Brahama Is.
lands; but there was strict watch kept
by the United States troops stationed here,
and there were but few boat. left on the
coast. But NJ. Benjamin finally procured
Ia small boat at Mantee. upon which the
x United States Senator and e. 1Con.ed-
I.rste States Secretary Of State embarked
as 4 cook. and in few days found him
