discontented operatives, which is almost a
daily occurrence in the factories of New Eng
land. So far as our observation extends, ev-

full time during the whole period Of the fnan-
cial embarrassment, and with the most graft
flying results. The report ofthe president of

were $114,5SS69, being over 19 per cent.

a letter, his chief object being to defend him.
self against the charge of cruelty to prisoners
during the war but unfortunately the Gen.
eral is not very felicitous in his style, and ne
goes little out of the way to justify the black
flag sentiments which he cherished during the
struggle. This, which General Beauregard
might have foreseen, has been sweet boon
to the Northern partisan journals. Iney
flourish Beauregard's letter as conclusive
proof that it is most unwise to treat the oooth
with kindness and leniency. Just at TINS
