The election of so many Confederate
generals to the next Congress causes
great alarm among the national drill
sergeants of the Republican party, who
forgot to &c into the war until after 1866.
The New York Sun, however, says; We
regard this, on the contrary, as an ex-
o~ellent sign; for as a rule those men who
ranked highest in the Confederate ser
vice we're the best representatives Of the
intelligence of their party in the seced-
ing States, and we know that the most
influential andintelligent classes in those
States desire nothing so much as a
thorough reconstruction of the Union in
fact as we'll as in name. They feel
that the worst enemies Of both races
in the South are those who try to keep
alive the a~nimosities engendered during
the rebellion and arising from the former
existence Of slavery; and they are fully
aware that their v prosperity, as well
as that Of the North, depends upon the
complete restoration Of harmonious4e-
lations between the two great sections Of
the country which were lately srrsyed
against each other in all the bitterness
of civil war. Nothing but the mean de-
vices Of politicians has prevented a com
plete reconciliation.

Sunday afternoon there was large crowG

Chevallier in his new air ship called the

at noon and by o'clock had progressed fine

when it was noticed that heavy squall was
rising in the south.
The balloon tugged aud rolled before the
severe gusts, and at times almost mastered
the men in charge OF it. At about quarter
past strong squall struck the monster,
and it carreened over dragging itself away
from its keepers and breaking the gas connec-
ton. The Professor, seeing that no ordi-
nary force could keep it back, with great
agility bumped in the car and cried out for
all to let go. This was before the balloon had
attained its full ascensional force, and its d.
rection was therefore almost horizontal.
The car struck small tree and turned up.

ing to perform some extra work, and left sud-

the matter up, and met the woman in ques-
ton on Gaiennie near Magazine street.
When taken to the station it was discovered

panying detective Cain, she showed the

two dollars aud fifty cents. The proprietor
immediately turned the jewelry over to the
