The st. Louis Republican makes an
editorial commentary upon the alleged
fact that the Hon. George II. Pendleton'
in connection with prominent Democrats
of New York. had advised the people OF
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to "have
nothing to do with the question Of re-
construction as proposed in the recent
enactment of Congress" The fact be-
ing erroneous, of course the commentary
fails to the ground. Mr.. Pendleton has
rendered the States in question no adj

Judges of their own situations, and moth

NEW YORK, April 20.-For several

quietly but assiduously working to aid
their brother revolutionists in the field,
by shipping men, money and ammunition

nation has been received of its safe ar

Recruiting is progressing rapid = at the
Brooklyn navy yard. The report that
twenty vessels are to be made ready for
service is untrue. There are only eight
that could be made serviceable in few
weeks, and the only one that is actually
preparing for sea is the practice ship,
Sabine, which carries thirty-six guns.
The amount of the defalcation of Mr..
Peck, the abseonding warehouse man,
turns out to be much less than was at
first announced. 1t is now reduced to
$4,000. The warehouse in Brooklyn is
now in charge of the sheriff, under an
