If the Radical press, and the Radical politicians
of this country had e1erted all she influence which
they think to find embodied IN their political
cess, even the modesty, the selfrsspect, and the,
province of usefulness which Lee has adopted since
the failure of his cause could not have secured for
him the generous forgiveness chat has everywhere
been manifested. He would have been written
down traitor in the blackest letters of history,
and every disgrace and shame would have been
heaped upon him while living. AS it is, the prin-
ciple which actuated this man in his opposition TO-
the established government is one which IS under
stood and properly appreciated By the American
people, who do not hesitate, on account OF it, to-
recognize the admirable character and ability of
the rebel leader. Lee will be considered in histo-
ry as one cfthe developers of heAmerican nation,
and he will occupy, as he does now, quite differ
ent position from that of JEFF. Davis, or Brecken-
ridge or almost any other individual who was iden-
tilted with the war against the union.-Chieago

A Chapter Upon the Late Interview Be-
tween Grant and Lee.

The hear,lness with which General Lee has been
received everywhere that he has visited, Is sn in
teresling feature of American national character.
1t is valuable above oil in establishing the fact
that the uurelenting hatred peculiar to radcalism
has not taken very strong hold upon the people
of this country after all.
Were man, holding the same relation to any
country in Europe that Lee holds to this country,
to visit the capital of his native land, he woulI
be seized and executed, perhaps on account of his
old treason, or he'would be imprisoned and per-
secuted for further sedition. This course, too is
one which radicalism would have introduced into
America, had it exercised complete sway Of the
popular government. It's spirit is as essential,
yindictive as that of an absolute dynasty ever
was, and It's estimate of character is based upon
the same idea of "loyalty" as that of kings and
courts. The people of America, however, have
demonstrated in many instances, where they have
shown .heir own feelings, that they place another
construction upon the meaning OF free govern
ment.
Grants conduct toward Lee in requesting an
interview has proved that, however much of q
tool our president has been to his own ambition,
he is not radical at heart. He may not have,
and probably has not, the requisite moral courage
to oppose the party which elected him 20 his posi-
ton, in many of its extreme measures, and may
be devoid of the judgment TO discriminate in all
cases between radicalsm and true republicanism,
but he is evidently peculiarly American citizen
and soldier at heart, unaffected there by the greed
Of radical vengeance, however much his brain may
be added.
The treatment of General Lee, both in public
and in private, has been encouraging instance
of true American patriotism. When the fanatics
of another country would have appauded the he
rolsm they would have found in John Wilkes Booth,
the Americans were unanimous in their condemna-
ton of it, When the fanatics of royalty or an
srchy would have refused fellowship to Lee, whom
they would have regarded as the vilest Of traitors,
the Americans can find sympathy for a man who
followed the cause Of his people, and commanded
the admiration of the world 5y his steadfastnsss,
Lis genius, his fortitude, and his justice.

Che present cotton crop OF Lancaster County at

The "Old Elm'' Shattered-The Colise-
um Demolished-The Big Organ in
Uuins-The Hugo Drum ditto.
The New England papers are filled with the
accounts Of the great gale which recently
swept over that section. AT Providence. K. l.,
the force OF the storm was SO great that the
sea swept into the main street, aud the peo-
pie in many localities were only rescued
through the prompt action OF boatmen, who
padded through the business streets. The
Boston papers give the following details Of the
late hurricane:
Ion the Common and in all parts Of the city
strong troes were twisted, split and torn up by
the roots. The t.old elm" survived the gale
with the loss of few branches only. Cam
bridge, Chelsea, Cbarlestown snd other places
suffered IN the same proportion with Boston.
No serious disaster to the shipping has been
reported. The damagein Boston and vicinity
is estimated at over million Of dollars.
The once imposing Coliseum is cow a little
better than mere wreck, aud its ruinous and
dismantled condition gives O more striking
proof Of the fury of the storm and the havoc
which it wrought than any other instance that
can be cited. Shortly before 6 o'clock furious
gust Of wind struck upon the orchestral end OF
the building ''like hammer" as sailors say.
In a few minutes the large circular wind Nv,
which IS twenty feet in diameter, yielded to the
blast, and the wind getting inside, the building
quiyered like reed. The whole orchestral
end.now crashed in, and the blast, sweeping
with resistless fury to the other extremity, as
speedily forced out the other end. In few
moments the whole ediice seemed to be the
sport OF the elements, and the wind, getting
underneath the roof, playfu[y lifted it of,
piece by piece, until the whole Of the transept
was entirely unroofed. The air was darkened
with falling and flying tlmbers, which were
tossed and blown about like shayings. The
crash was tremendous, and struck awe into al
beholders. The organ was speedily levelled
to the ground, and buried in chaotic mass
Of timber. The big drum was also laid fat,
and pierced in several places by the falling
tirphers. -, ,,,,,,,-,,-+-,-

Directly the end window was forced in, the Ia
dies rushed out in state OF the greatest ter.
ror aud bewilderment, and some OF them made
their way amid shower OF falling timbers to
the open ground. One or two OF them turned
back into the building, but were urged TO go
out again by the doorkeeper. who feared that
they might be killed, as the whole structure
seemed as il it would come down. The dog
was panic stricken, and would not move. For.
tunately no one was hurt. The Catastrophe
was witnessed by several persons. car was
broughtto standstill on Berkeley-street, and
some men getting out in state Ct alarm were
speedily blown to the ground.
