GEN. LEE AND SECESSION.
To the Editor Of the ITi6une.,

TO the Editor Of the Tribune!
SIR: see in your issue of April IA
an article headed General r. L. Lee. !"
in which you publish letter written
by him from Texas to young woman,
a friend of his. | wish to state what l
heard from Cen. Lees own lips. l was
in Texas at the time the order of Sc
cession was passed, and at San Antonio
when Gen. Twiggs surrendered and Or
dercd all the troops away from the from
tier. Most of thesoldiers passed through
San Antonio, and were there ordered
to deliver up their arms. Afterward,
l think the last of March following, /
met General Lee at Y Yorktown, Texas,
about half way from San Antonio to
the coast, on his way home to Virginia.
| had long conversation with him
upon the deplorable condition of the
country He said that he was going
home to Virginia, and give up his
commission to the government that
had educated him and thathe loved so
dearly. He also said that he could not
fight against the Union, nor could he
draw his sword against Old Virginia;
that he should return to private life
and take neutral ground. In speaking
of the order of General Twiggs' requir-
ing officers to deliver up their side
arms, he said: "Sooncr than deliver
up my sword l would have it run
through my body" He talked of the
secession movement as the most unfor-
tunate position the south could posi-
bly, put themselves in. F. DAVIS.

Starvation 5ss NetO Orleans.
From the New York World.

Few things can be considered more
sadly significant than the official decla
ration of the City Council of New Or
leans to the effect that general and in
tense suffering for want of the common
necessaries Of life prevails in the Gre
scent City, suffering which the munich
pal government is unable from its own
poverty to relieve. and the accompany
ing recommendation to the charitable
who have ought to organize for the as
slstance OF those who have nothing, 1t
would seem at first glance incredible,
the statement that in great city at the )
mouth OF the artery OF Western and
Southern commerce, the centre of ter
rltory where nature has lavished her
treasures upon climate and soil, the seat
OF q population that for years was no
less marked by its opulence than by its
enterprise, people are dying daily for
want of bread. Nevertheless the state
ment is too sadly true. New Orleans,
like other seaports and river cities, has
large population that must depend up
on the days work on the levee or in the
warehouse for the days broad. With
the. paralysis OF trade and commerce
their sole dependence has vanished, and
they have been doomed to idleness, beg
gary and starvation. Not alone the low
er clnsses have suffered, but men and
women gently born and delicately rear
ed, their property first dilapidated by
war, then destroyed by that more disas-
trous consequence of the'war, the gov
ernment Of Grants harpies; without
any opportunity to earn q livelihood,
with nothing to sell for food in their
extremity, Or unable to find buyers If
haply aught which was theirs has elu-
ded the tax-collector, are dying for lack
Of food palmer than we accord to our
paupers and prisoners. The remarkable
increase OF suicide among the people of
the city is another significant proof of
their desperate distress. If, as was init
mated some two weeks since, q sickly
season is to be expected in the South
this summer, the plague OF pestilence
will be added to the plaques of famine
and devastation, and its ravages will be
the greater for the enfeebled state of
the victims. 1t is possible that these
physical and more apparent consequent
ees OF the usurpation of Louisiana may
appeal to and affect those who have
witnessed with remorse or protest its
political and social degradation and de-
struction, and SO make doubly sure the
assurance OF the overthrow of Radical
lsm next year. But in the meanwhile
the ready charity OF the American peo-
pie can do much to alleviate this physi-
dal distress, and even those to whom the
political principles of the sufferers are
obnoxious may recognize the mute ap-
peal OF hunger to humanity. A5 -l5.

Commissioners of Internal RevennC

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The displace-
ment of Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Douglass was surprise TO that
gentleman. as he had no previous init
nation of it.
Yesterday afternoon Secretary Bris-
tow called upon Mr.. Douglass, saying
he did so at the request of the Presi-
dent; and TO perform the disagreeablc
duty of informing him that ex-senator
Pratt had been rendered and accepted
the position of Commissioner of Inter-
nal Revenue Douglass made one in
quiry only, following this verbal COM
munication.
1t was whether his integrity as man
and an officer had been in any manner
impugned? To which the Secretary
replied, "Not in the slightest degree" )"
with this Douglass expressed himself
satisfied. -..-.'..r e...l1-
Mr.. Douglass was taken completely
by surprise, from the fact that but afew
DAYS since, when rumors were rife that
he was to be suspended, he called on
the President in regard to the truth of
such rumors, at which time lhe Presi-
dent told him that he did not contcm-
plate making any changes in the COM
missionership.

The Frecdmen's Rank.

The commissioners of the Freed
mems Savings bank having been I'M
able to obtain release from their
surelies, are going forward in their Of
forts TO unravel the affairs of the rotten
concern, and save ms much rs possible
of the assets for depositors. They be-
leve that by next winter, two years
after the insolvency of the bank was
disclosed, they will be able to distrib-
ute the first dividend of twenty per
cent to depositors. This will amount
to 5000, 600, and will be mostly realized
from investment made here in Wash
ington. The Investments at the south
ern branches are in almost every ease
n total loss. The commissioners think
that ultimately second and possibly
even third dividend of twenty per
cent may be paid but this will depend
upon their success in compelling the
borrowers to pay their liabilities. AT
present the commissioners have over
100000 collected, which is lying in
the United States treasury, and draw
ing no interest on account of the fail
IRE of congress to provide the author
ity for payment of interest.

PY shining! IsII Dot So?

There is doubtless such thing as
excessive promptncss in cmcrgcn
cies. Presence Of mind and deter
mination are admirable qualities in
themselves, but it sometimes hap
pens that q decision made upon the
spur of tho moment is rcgre tied up
on u moro deliberate survey OF the
field. This rcmorse seems to have
overtaken worthy Dutchman of
Anoka county, Minnesota. The
Dutchman was seeking to reach a
town some distance from Sank
Creek, and to accomplish this must
drive over the prairie from the lat
ter town. lie was unaccustomed
to the road, and night overlook him
with his vehicle fast in n slough and
no town in sight. He sought the
solitary farm house visible, and
asked permission to stay till morn
ing, the farmer telling the traveller,
however, that it would be necces-
rary for him to sleep win inc chIi-
dren, or with the farmer himself, as
their accommodations were limited.
Quick as lightning, the Dutchman
expressed his resolution not to sleep
with tho "boddcration shiltren,' so
he slept with the farmer. The rest
of the story may be told in his own
language .a
