Biographies of General Lee.

Several biographies, or lives. OF the late
General LEE, are advertised. Some OF them
are nearly ready for publication, though
General LEE has been dead little more than
a month.
II is known that the family of General
LEE has entrusted his MSS. and family pa.
pers to Col. CHAs. MARSHALL, Of Baltimore,
with the request that he shall undertake
the work of writing history Of the life and
campaigns of General LEE. Colonel MAR.
SHALL was the aid and confidential private
secretary Of the General, and is eminently
qualified for the work entrusted to him.
The task of writing either history or biog-
rsphy is very delicate and difficult. To the
best qualifications for its performance the
author should add the most favorable oppor-
tunities to obtain facts necessary Tor his
work. Colonel MARSHALL has these oppor-
families, which are not open to others. HIS
book, therefore, will be the most desirable,
because the most reliable and authen-
tic; and those who want this sort OF
history of the great Southern General and
his campaigns, may, with little patience,
be gratifed. Those who are not particular,
however, and have not the patience, can
have the benefit of the steam machine for
the manufacture of books. They may, how
ever, after reading them, not feel altogether
sure that they know all that is true about

FREDERICKSBURG, Nov. 80, 1870.
A daring attempt was made this MORN

building through the dining.room Of
the cashiers residence, which is part
of the bank building. The vault In which,
the money and books are kept Is fastened
by an iron door having two heavy STOCK
locks, and across the keyhole of these q Hat
iron bar is fitted, which Is fastened to a
sSaple In the wall by heavy paddock. This
latter lock was blown open with powder.
The burglars, finding their operations ar

The Eastern Question.

We do not think it possible to get up a
war between England and Russia. There
is too powerful an opposition to it. Eng
land cannot afford to risk another struggle
with Russia. There are indications enough
! to show that Prussia will not play hand
| to suit England. Should England again
east her fortunes upon war to control the
Eastern question, it would result in her
humiliation.
England and all the European powers
ought to accept the truth-viz That the
peace of Europe demands the settlement OF
this Eastern question-its settlement by
the expulsion of the Turk from Europe
and the disenthralment Of the Christians
in European Turkey. That would be not
only right, but popular. If all the Powers
were to combine with this view, the map
might be reformed upon conservative prln-
ciples. The Grecian empire should be re-
vived, and the Turkish provinces could be
distributed with this view, Greece re-
ceiying part, Russia another, and Austria
q third. Thus the Christian would be res
cued from an odious rule, one of the fairest
portions of Europe would be redeemed from
night and obstruction, and the peace OF
Europe secured in the southeast of the con-
:inent for probably centuries. This in Eng
land would be wise-far wiser than fighting
to keep the Turk in Europe to Cypress
Christians, and hold in check spirit and
natural tendency which cannot be de-
feated. Postponed for one year, they will
rise up in another; and, as often as check
ed, will they repeat the effort to burst the
restraints put upon them.

RUSSIA AND THE UNITED sTATEs.-A
Washington telegram to the Philadelphia
Ledger says:
1t is stated here, on what is claimed to be
no less authority than the Russian Minister
himself, that the Russian Government is
deeply offended at the declaration Of the
President, made few days since, that he
would not at this juncture press the Ala.
I bama claims, on the ground that it is an in.
| direct and uncalled for expression of sym.
l pathy for England by relieving her of her
fears that the United States would seize on
| the opportunity Of war with Russia to
demand their settlement.
1t has been generally remarked that
within the past few weeks the Russian
Minister has called on neither the President
nor the Secretary OF State, and those who
are in the secret assert that he is acting un.
der instructions from his Government,
which, before long, will officially communi.
cate its grievances. 1t is announced as a
positive fact that Mr.. Catacazy has received
letters from prominent Republican leaders,
among whom are Messrs. Sumner and But.

RELIEF FOR SUFFERERS At STRAsBoCRG-
Great Suffering and LosSes.-A committee
appointed by the City Council ofStrasbourg
to solicit relief for the sufferers by the late
hombardmeIt Of that city by the Prussians
has arrived at New York. A reporter of
the New York Times, who had an interview
with Capt. Ungemach, one Of the commit
tee, says:
"Capt. Ungemach states that 500 or 900
houses have been burned and destroyed.
More than 5000 persons are left homeless
and houseless, encamping along the canals
and in the ruins of their burnt homes. Peo-
pie who were once rich, or in comfortable
circumstances, are now reduced to want
and misery. In speaking of the damage
sustained by the cathedral, Capt. Ungemach
said that the most irreparable loss was the
paintings on the glass windows. The great
Strasbourg library, destroyed by fire,)
which was renowned all over the world for
its valuable collection of books, manu-
scripts, &C., was loss that never could be
repaired. The total amount Of the losses
by the bombardment is variously estimated
at from $3.50, DOL, 900 to $3.50, 000, 900. Trade
and industrial pursuits are Of course dead
locked, and those who have depended upon
their business or labor for subsistence are
deprived of any means Of gaining it at q
time when the hardships Of the winter sea-
son are to be added to those they already
endure"

HyDRoPHoB1A.-De1th Of Mr.. England
After several days of intense suffering, Mr.
England, whose condition has before been
mentioned in these columns, was last even
ing, about O'Clock, relieved oil his suferings
by death. His rawlings are desc ibed by those
who witnessed them as terrible in the ex-
IRENE at times he would initiate the bark
Ing of a dog, and be fearfully agitated, even
in his moments of consciousness, when
anything containing moisture was brought
In proximity to his couch-showing clearly
all the indications of an aggravated case of
hydrophobia. Mr. England received 2 bite
on the hand some months ago in the fruit
less endeavor to save his three children
from being bit by q dog, supposed at the
time to be mad. All the children are well
and apparently free from the dreadful dis
ease that has carried off the father. On
Sunday last the house was visited by crowds
of people in buggies, wagons, and on
loot, ali anxious to get a look at the suf-
ferer, but all who were so gratifed state
that they never again desire to witness such
agony. On yesterday he became so violent
that it was deemed eXpedieut to tie him to
the floor Of his room, which was accord
ingly done, and he remained in this con-
dition until, as above stated, death put an
end to his suferings.-Ale1andrtd Gazette.
