THE THIRD REGIMENT.

The Third Virginia regiment, officer!
and men, will all be in Richmond by
Saturday night, at which time theil
thirty. day furloughs expire. The mer
will be quartered in the old Exchange
Hotel. Col. Male was DESTROYS of hav
ing the men 60 into camp, but Major
Shanks is arranging to take good care
of the men. He will have them fed al
the restaurants, and with their blank
cts and plenty of straw, they will have
comfortable sleeping quarters.
The work of mastering out the regi.
meut will ba very tedious. Major
D. Price, the muster out officer, thinks
it will occupy probably week. Every
officer and man must be examined ply
sicaliy, so that it can be learned, by
comparing the result of this eXamlna-
ton with that made at enlistment,
whether any injuries now existing were
received in the service in the discharge
of duty, or whether permanent results
ofsickness were developed after enlist
ment. This last examination will be
the one to show whether the soldier is
entitled to pension.
Many of the soldiers are already in
Richmond. 1t is expected that many
will not come back. Some live at a
great distance from Richmond, even
in other States, and though they will
receive upwards of $50 when paid of,
the amount will not be sufficiently
large to compensate them for the out
lay in transportation.
In addition to the tedious work OF re-
examining the men, great deal Of
labor is involved in making an invent
ory Of all the property OF the regiment,
which must be turned over to the gov
ornment and receiped for by Major
Shanks, the quartermaster. This must
be done with extreme care, as the Of
ficer giving the receipt is personally re-
5ponsible for all discrepancies.
The men in the Third will certainly
received something over $50 each in pay
and Communication, and it is also probable
that they will get pay for the month
intervening between the time they
volunteered at their home stations and
the time they were mustered into the
service of the United States. The
Second and Fourth Virginia were paid
for this time, but the Third was not.
Acting Adjutant General Stern and
Major Price have agreed that the pay
roll to be- forwarded to Washington
shall include the extra month, so that
it is practically certain the men will
receive the extra pay.

Immediately after the Thanksgiving

cided to adjourn to Convention Hall,
which had been secured. a sumptu
Gus lunch was served to the delegates
at the National Rifles Hall.
About 1000 members of the Wom-
ans Auxiliary assembled at Conven-
ton Hail in the afternoon, where the

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 7, 1858.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, according 10
some people, is great and wise man.
Since the close OF the Spanish war he has
frequently spoken of the benefcent et-
feet of that war in closing the old bloody
chasm. obliterating sectional lines aud
re-establishing that amity and comfy
and fellow feeling that should subslst
among citizens of a common country,
whose honor and interest all of them
have at heart. But, Notwithstanding
all this, as announced in the Gazette al
the time, it was only three or four days
ago that he appointed negro collector
of internal revenue in Florida, though
every body who has any official bust
ness with him is white, and though, as
an intelligent man, the President must
know that by so doing he has natural
ly antagonized the feeling, not only
of ali the white people of Florida, but
of the whole South, to a greater ex'
tent than by almost any thing else he
could possibly have done. Words and
acts are entire different, and people
with common sense always judge by
the latter. Why doesn't the President
appoint negroes in the North?

Mr.. HENRY WATTERsoN, one Of the
most conspicuous deserters from the
democratic party in its last national
campaign, has returned to that party,
and is now advocating the election of
the democratic ticket everywhere. In
view of what he has therefore, done, his
advocacy won't amount to much, but,
in contest of the people against a
parvenu Northern plutocracy, no prof
fered help should be rejected. The

GEN. FITZHUGH LEE is reported to
have said, in his testimony before the
war investigating commission yester-
day, that she wants to go back to Hav-
aua to show his enemies, who forced
him to leave that city, that he could
stay there.n That remark has already,
or soon will be, reported in Havana,
and though the feeling it expresses is
natural, it certainly is not calculated to
effect the paciication for which, accord
ing to congressional resolution, the
war was prosecuted.

TIE RECENT assassination OF the
Queen of Austria seems to have cast an
appalling dread upon the anarchists in
all parts of the civilized world, and
we'll it may have, for its malicious reck-
Iessness has cemented the power and
the wealth OF every country against
them, and against all organizations that
support, affiliate or sympathize with
them, and that do not denounce and
fxecrate them as wretches utterly un-
tit for longer life. And no organization
of mortals can withstand the combined
effect of bouudless wealth and unlimit-

THE Massachusetts republicans are

have declared that while Spain shall be
robbed of all her possessions in the
Philippine Islands, the people of those
islands shall be free aud independent.
But Massachusetts convention, even

nothing to the prevalent republican
policy of imperialism. Why, Senator
