Il, THE HANOVER LIoN.-The following WIS
received from the teiegraph-operator at
Atlee's station last night:
General Lipscomb's cavalry and Major
Joncs's infantry were not successful on
yesterday in capturing the lioness, though
the cavalry and infantry went into camp
last night very much iatlgued. Have not
heard OF any one seeing the animal or fresh
tracks to-day
Some people in Richmond are disinclned
to believe in the existence OF the Hanover
lion, and it is not unreasonable for them to
have doubts. But there are many gentle
men living in the neighborhood OF Atlee's
station and Ashcake crossing who are thor
oughly convinced that such an animal has
been roaming about that vicinity. To ques-
ton the story for minute would be to i'm
pugn their judgment and Yeracity, which
no one who knows them would do. The
suggestion that the stranger may be big
"yalIer" dog meets with no favor. The
fact that he, or rather she (because no name
has been seem, has been eating early vege-
tables in defiance OF the established usagcs
of carniyorous beasts, is only proof OF the
desperateness OF her situation. Ii Hanover
cabbages have been eaten in considerable
quantities the very worst result Ito herr may
be anticipated, and the Governor will pro-
badly be saved the trouble OF calling out
the militia to effect her capture.

JUDGE OCLD's INACCURACIES.

pose Of Judge ;Ould to do justice, there are
many inaccuracies in his testimony. l re-
member well the answer I gave him, be-
cause saw the full drift of his question,
when he asked me IL it did not amount
to about this, "that had used that much
money" replied that in the long run, or
in the end, it would amount to about that
to the committee; my meaning being that
as / had failed to meet these obligations
they would fall on the committee, But,
however Judge Onld may have understood
me, certainly did not mean to say what he
asserts, either to him or anybody, because
in the sense intended by him 1t was untrue,
