The N. Y Herald thinks that the cause of
the singular circumstance that great crimes of
certain character often follow each other in
rapid succession, and occur apparently in some
thing like periodical cycles, probably, may be
traced in measure to the excitement and uni
versal discussion which follow the commission
of an extraordinary crime or crimes Minds
diseased by criminal procivities catch the con-
tagion of such an excitement, and are apt to
carry out their wicked purposes by initiating

re- ATMOSPHERIC DIsEASES.-The air, with
out which no creature could live, is the source
of diseases of which millions die. At this sea-
son, especially, the atmosphere is full of the
germs of many kinds of sickness. Every glo-
bule Of the mist and fog which cloud the earth
and sky in spring holds in solution its portion Of

The Washington papers state that during the
investigation of one of the claims of loyal
citizens" few days ago, colored man was a
witness and charges were brought against Mr.
Henry Fitzhugh, of Stafford county, in relation
to his treatment of slaves, and touching his ap-
plication for damages, on the ground OF his
having been 'loyal citizen during the war.
The ntimaton is that the government intend
to proceed against Mr. F., having procured
documents from the Confederate archives, cap
,ured at Richmond, iuvaldatiug his claim. 1t
is added, in the Washington papers, that "a
gentleman from Alexandria, who W present at
the examination of the culorcd witness above
referred to, corrojorated his statements. Judge
Crtchcr, of Virginia, member CT the House of
Representatives, in note to the Wa hlugton
Patriot ofthis morning says:
"In your issue of yesterday, referenca is made
to the case Of Henry Fitzhugh, Of Stafford,

sion, and the testimony OF negro witness re
peated, rejecting on the character OF that gen

been obtained from the Confederate archives
Establishing the disloyaity of this lfsworn
loyalist" 1t is but justice to MIR. Fltzhugh to
state that this testimony has been retuted by
witnesses. both white aud black, and that the
documents obtained from the Confederate ar.
chiyes relate to another Henry Ftzhugh, and

what may be expected when Gilmore shall or

rehearsal that took place few days ago in that
city wherein the Boston singers numbering
four thousand voices, tenorS, basoS sopranos.
and altoS-one thousand of each kind-Sang all
at once in chorus Of Mcndels>ohn' and in one
Of Haudes. A correspondent describing the
effect. says Now each part alone, now in
duet and trio, rising, falling, swelling out alb
ruptly. and sinking into powerful piano. if
You can imagine such thing smoothly and
correctly they sang it through to the end. y
Although certain success was attained in this
rehearsal. il is doubtful whether the attempt
to reduce to order twenty thousand voices-the
number which is to sing in grand chorus at the
jubilee-w not result in an ignomlnlous and
ridiculous failure. artistIcaiiy considered.
