TIE ALDINE FOR CHRISTMAS 1S71.-The long expected Christmas number has arrived, and right loyalty have the publishers kept faith with their subscribers. A volume in it. self, there are few holiday books of any price that can compare with the sumptuous ele- gance of this issue of that remarkable period ical, The 1ldins,
 It contains fifty pictures in all-nine of W hich are full page plates. The four :inted plates are models of perfection. The first of these is scene suggestive of Christmas chimes; the second suggests the festivities of the Holidays; the third, "On the Ice" is skating scene, and the last is an Alpine scene by moonlight.
 The 4ldine is a Journal of Art, and right well does it sustain the title.
 We would advise every reader of the MINER to send $2.5O to James Sutton, 23 Liberty Street, New York. and obtain copy for 1872. If you have taste for the master work of literature and art, in America, sub scribe for The Adine

Letter from Gen. Averill.


Amongst the federal officers of cavalry who
served during the late war, none made better
reputation than Maj. Gen. w w. Averill. In
the Shenandoah Valley he was recognized as
skiilful soldier whilst his kind treatment Of the
people Of that section and respect for private
property won him hosts of friends even amongst
that thoroughly Southern population. 1t hay-
ing been announced with flourish Of trum-
pets that Gen Ayerill had signed the call for
a soldiers and sailors convention, to be held in
Pittsburg, in the interests Of Grant, the Gene
raj has written a letter declining any partici-
patton in the proposed convention. After
sketcLiug hastily the cause aud results Of the
late war, Gen. Averill says:
" These results, which cost. US so many lives
and SO much money, were accepted by the
South. The people, with the habit Of concen-
trating all praise or all blame ON an individual,
selected Gen. Grant as the ideal, on whom tEey
bestowed all houoraudall power Since George
Washington, To no American citizen has been
afforded such opportunities as TO Ulysses 5.
Grant, aud no man, living or dead, has ever
exhibited snch absolute lack Of intelligence to
understand or of the will to embrace them
That he has had the necessary power has been
shown by Lis ability TO make extraordinary
exertious for the success of many unworthy and
unconstitutional schemes without provoking
articles Of impeachment His first great OPP
portunity TO reconcile this people, to heal the
national wounds by the FIRST intention, was ut
tcry diSregarded What had he TO fear? No
human power could alter the results Of the
war. Uuiou and democracy were assured for
ever. The soldiers of The South had not only
laid Gown their arms, but had ot once gone to
hard work at various occupations, formerly
despised, showing that they had well learned
the lessons of the war. Every consideration
of honor. dignity. and even of mercy, demand
ed that we should encourage them IN their
struggle FOR life and peace no less heroic than
their conduct IN battle. The shattered frag
meutS %! their former social structure were
ready 40 hand 90 reconstruct society on demo
cratic foundation, but those fragments have
been ground into dust under the viudictiye heel
Of L. $. Grant and the men who control him.
Ignorant, Supcrstiti0us negroes, who will abide
with us forever, have not been instructed in
the duties of selt-goverumeut; but by the spe
cial efforts of the PruSidentauG his cabinet and
other officials they have had their apprehen-
sious aroused and race hatred begotten. If
this be peace, then the frmest rallyiug cry Of
his partisans, Let us have peace is a cruel
mockery.'
Ia conclusion he says lie shall make every
proper effort in his power toward securing the
election of Horace Observation-Disclosures SIN.

TO BUY CHEAP
A Mysterious Murder.

The assassination of DR.. Merryman Cole has
scarcely faded from the public mind before
thecitv is startled by another murder surround
ed by a mystery almost equally impenetrable
The particulars, as far as they are at present
known, are given in our news columns. Mrs
Amelia Wheat was an old lady of eighty years,
residing nearly on the extreme limits of the
city, at G64 West Lombard street. She was
possessed Of considerable wealth, and her heir
was understood to be her nephew, Jesse Up
rercue. a young man twenty-five years of age,
a graduate of ST. Johns College, and q student
of Law in the Office Of John p. Poe Esq. who
with his mother and sister resided in the same
house. About two o'clock yesterday morning
the sharp report Of pistol-shot was heard in
the room Of Mrs. Wheat The cry Of murder
was raised by young Uppercue, from the front
door, and upon an inspection Of the chamber
in which Mrs. Wheat slept, her body was found
living on the bed, with pistol shot through
the temple. She had apparently died calmly,
andwithout a struggle, The room was in dis
order The only statement purporting to give
a clue TO the murder is thatof young Upper
cue himself. According to his declaration he
was in his usual apartment, in the second story,
next to that of his aunt, when she called him
to come into her room, and remain there, say
ING that she felt nervous. He complied with
her request, and fell asleep. He was awaken
ed by the report Of the pistol perceived the
form of man retreating from the room, and
followed him, firing two shots from his reyol-
yer at him, without apparent effect. From
this statement the theory would be formed that
robbers had broken into the house and were
the perpetrators Of the crime The testimony
before the jury goes 20 discTedit, to some ex-
tent, this suppositlon. An examination of the
kitchen-door, through which the robbers are
said to have entered, resulted in distinct and
unequiyocal opinion from the officers who were
on the premises, that the door had not been
forced from the outside Suspicion, we regret
to say, has fallen upon yoUpg uppercue. The
Jury who heard the testimony, nevertheless,
have not thought it sufficiently strong to war
rant verdict against him. His previous good
character, the affection his aunt entertained for
him, and tho contradictory nature Of the evi-
deuce, so far elected, are in his favor There
is also the further fact that there appears to
have been a family fued, in which young Up
percue was involved, resulting from the par
TALLY shown by Mrs. Wheat for him, and
which may have tinged the testimony of some
of the witnesses. A day or two will probably
clear up much that is now obscure and enable
the public to form a better judgment as to the
guilty party or parties Baltimore Gazette.
