Gen. Early writes = letter to the Richmond
Dispatch generating the late Gen. Winder
from the charge of cruelty to Federal prison
es during the late war, in which is contained
the following note from the late Col. Brent, of
this city, addressed to the son of Gen. Winder !:
ALExANDRIA<Apri 8, 1868.
My DEAR CAPTAIN.-Yours of the I'd has
been received, and iu reply | beg leave to say
that | have no copies Of thettters and orders
referred to-, but | have 40 entry 10 my journal
OF the date of the 9Th of January, 1865, whist
headquarters we're at Montgomery, Ala. The
eutry is substantially as follows: IN pur
suance of orders | addressed a letter to General
Winder, requesting him to turn over thirty
Federal prisoners to Major Hottie, quartermas-
ter, for the purpose of taking out sub-terra
shells and torpedoes from the cuts in the West
Point and Atlanta Railroad. Shortly after
wards | received from Gen. Winder a reply,
stating that be could not comply with the re-
quest. as it would not only violate the orders of
the War Department, but would be in contra
ventiou of the laws aud usages of war"
[ have no objection to your using this in-
formation on such occasions and terms as you
may deem proper for the vindication of your
father, but | would suggest this consideration !:
that a public use 10 the present heated and
elnbittered condition Of political affairs would
result 10 20 practical use, and might possibly
create unnecessary prejudice against those now
living and to southern interests.
Very truly yours,
ISigued1 GEORGE W. BRENT.

The CORPORATION JUDaEsHIP.- The volun-
tary tribute of the members of the bar OF this
city to the worth aud ability of the Hon. K.
NJ. Lowe, published Wednesday, expressing
their appreciation of the able, faithful and i'm
partial manner in which he has discharged the
duties of the onerous and important position
of Judge of the Corporation Court of this city,
receives the hearty concurrence of the commu-
uity at large. At the conclusion of the late
war Judge Lowe resumed the practice Of his
profession in this city. and was elected Judge
of the Corporation Court by the Legislature
in 1870, tor q term of six years. With the
restoration Of civil authority over military
power. and the Inauguration Of a pew and
untried Constitution, containing provisions IN
many particulars foreign to the practices, pre-.
ccdents and a~ualogies that had heretofore con-
trolled the Jurisprudence of the Commonwealth
since its public declaration of liberties, Judge
Lowe entered upon the discharge of his judi
cial functions, made onerous by a jurisdiction
co. extensive With that of the Circuit Court,
aud particularly by the anomalies growing out
of the acts of the Federal officials during the
period of their arbitrary power. Throughout
his term of official duties he has never finched
in their discharge, nor swerved from the line
of equal and exact justice to all, and has we'll
merited the confidence and esteem, not only of
the bar and citizens of Alexandria, but of the
whole State, and will doubtless receive a nomi-
nation and reelection by the Legislature with
out opposition. Indeed, with but few excep-
tons, the Commonwealth may we'll be proud OF
her judiciary. She has suffered almost all the
vicissitudes 10 which organized society has
ever been subjected. For years a fierce and
broodiog storm of war barricaded her borders
and ragged over her territory, and its termina-
ton left her desolate aud destitute to the herit-
age of political overthrow and financial ruin.
To the partial restoration of her former pres
tige much is due to the firm and unyieldipg
temper of her Judiciary, and their example
has been beneiceutIy felt wherever they have
been called upon to enforce their powers or ex-
ercise their control !; and amid all the honors
that gather around her name and shed lustre
upon her institutions, the spotless purity and
integrity of her judiciarsls the white rose IN
her civic coronai Of imperishable reooWn.

| have known country society
which withered away all to nothing
under the dry rot of gossip. Friend
ships, once as firm as granite, dis
solved to jelly, and then ran away
to water, only because Of this; love,
that promised future as enduring
as Heaven. and as stably as Truth,
evaporateG into morning mist that
turned to days lond tears. only
because of this; father and son
were SCI foot to foot with the fiery
breath Of an anger that would never
cool again between them; and hus-
band and his yound wife, each strain
ing at the heated leash which in the
beginning had been the golden
bandage OF a God-blessed love, sat
mournfully by the grave where
all their love and all their JOY
lay buried, and all because Of this.
I have seen faith transformed to
mean doubt, JOY give place to grim
despair, and charity take on Itself
the features of black malevoIence, all
because ofthe small words Of scandal,
and the magic mutte1ings Of gossip.
Great crimes work great wrongs, and
deeper tragedies Of human life spring
from the larger passions; but woeful
and most mournful are the uncata>
logued tragedies that issue from
gossip and detraction; most mourn
full the shipwleck often made Of no
bic natures and lovely lives by the
bitter winds and dead salt waters Of
SANDER. So easy TO say, yet sc
