From LAKE SUPERIoR.-The propeller
Union of Rice Brothers, Lake Superior
line, arrived this morning. She left Mar
on Sunday. The weather has been very
cold ON the lake. The Union brought
10000 feet of lumber, and 200 hundred
tons of iron for this city. Clerk Rico also
brought down couple of bear cubs, which
are something Of a curiosity. They were
caught near Marquette, and are about six
weeks old. 2


Two new founderies have just been built
at Grand Island, for iron ore, it being
found that the ore can be carried to the
wood cheaper than the wood can be car
ried to the ore.


The steward of the Union also brought
about ton of brook trout, the finest lot
we ever saw. They are large, and being

A gentleman who on his way Sunday even

er, who died in the Confederate service. discov-
cred just as he reached the gate of the cemetery
three former servants Of the family approaching
the grave with flowers and pvergreens in their
hands. Keeping out of their view, he watched
them until they reached the grave, when one OF
them climbed over the iron railing, took the
flowers and evergreens from his companion and
laid them tenderly on the grave Of his former
young master. The gentleman then approached
and added his floral Offering Of affection to that
which had already been placed upon the grave.
Such an incident as this portrays more elo-
quently than words can the tender relations
which existed under the old dispensation be-
tween the two races--a relation so fixed and
firm in this case, as in hundreds of Others, that
the exciting and disturbing causes during and
since the war have not been able to unsettleit.
The fact is a strong affection has always sub
sisted between the whites and blacks Of the
South, and there is no reason why that feeling
should not continue in the future asin the past.
Agitatcrs and fanatics are doing much TO weak
en- it and to create animosities but We believe
that the good sense and naturally good feeling
of the negroes will finally prevail, and that
they will see only mischief and malice in these
efforts They will be apt to discover who are
their real friends and where are their true in
terests, and to act accordingly.-Lynch6mg

We commend TO the attention Of our colored
friends, (says the Lexington Bdnner,l the fol-
lowing extract fIom the New York Times
Many colored persons have been seduced into
the organization gotten up by Hunnicutt, un-
der the belief that the lands Of the Southern
whites will be confscated and parceled out a
monC them. AS far as we can understand,
this is the chief inducement that is offered to
colored men to secure their adhesion to this
party. We advise all such. to consider care
fully this declaration Of Radical organ upon
the subject. The Times says:


"The confscation resolutions adopted at the
late meeting Of negroes in Richmond prove the
baneful effect Of the political teachings which
they receive from the Hunnicutts Of the ex-
treme Radical party. In the eye Of every
thoughtful man, confscation admits Of only
one Interpretation. Itisthe equivalent Of gen
era spoliation, boodshed, and anarchy. There
can be no liberty without order. and no order
without ample protection for the rights Of pro-
perty. Invade these rights, and inculcate the
idea that one class shall be permitted to seize
and enjoy the lands and houses of another class,
and from that moment the South will become
a second San Domingo, to end only in the ex-
termination of whites or blacks. This may be
a strong statement of the case, but it is the
truth. And the men who 90 about familiari-
zing the negroes with the demand, and persua-
ding them Of its justice, should be dealt with
by the military commanders as incendiaries."

Major General Rosser, of the late rebel army,
delivered lecture lately at Cooper Institute,
y. Y. before a very small audience, on 1.-The
Last Days of the Army Of Northern Virginia"


In referring to the past events he desired to
show no disposition to revive the animosities
connected with them, but rather TO heal the
wounds they had caused. He was glad to see
the frequent signs of real reconstruction in
the friendly meeting of Northern and Southern
soldiers. He wished TO draw attention to the
time when Grant assembled all his forcesaround
Petersburg, with view TO dislodging Lee from
his Notifications. At this time the South was
greatly reduced in every way, and General Lee
had to rely only on the gathered remains Of the
rebel forces. He had had long and painful
interview with Lee two days before the surren-
der of Petersburg. Lees forces then consisted
of only thirty-three thousand infantry and ar
tilery, and six thousand cavalry and they were
half starved and exhausted with working in
the trenches Against these, there was no
means in the South 10 sustain or recruit them,
an overwhelming and mighty force was ar
rayed. But both Petersburg and Richmond
were very strongly fortified The former was
attacked in order to compel Lee TO extend his
flanks, and thus weakens his forces. The We'll
don railroad captured by Grant, Lee fell back
and sought to protect the Southside and Dan
vile roads his other means of supplies, with
the aid of General Early. Lees line was forty
miles in length, and Grants army extended a
round and in front of it. The capture of Five
Forks by Sheridan was the Waterloo of the
Southern rebellion. Grant tried to keep Lee
from retreating as he had done so successfully
with Pope, Burnside, Hooker aad Mcclellan
by keeping his lineclose upon HMM his works.
Whenever Lee withdrew his forces for a retreat,
Grant pressed upon him and he was compelled
TO reoccupy his position. On the final encoun-
ter Lee had Gordon on his left and A. p. Hill
on his right. Grant, with the Ninth, Sixth,
Second and Twenty-fourth corps, moved a.
gainst Ewell and drove him back and Hill also,
and surrounded the army of the rebellion. He
knew that after Ewellha surrendered General
Lee had determined to yield up his entire army
as a means of saving additional bloodshed. In
proof of this Lee retired upon Farrnville, with
Grant close upon him, and thence moved in the
direction of Appomattox Court House.


The lecturer illustrated his remarks by re-
ferring to large maps which he had prepared
for the occasion. His description of the fall of
Richmond and surrender Of the armies of the
rebellion was listened to with close attention
and evident interest

On Yesterday morning Edward Cen

Commission sent to the Cheyenne camp
to learn, if he could, when the Chey-
ennes would be in, came back after an
absence of three days. He was one
day in the Indian camp, and had a
long talk with the Indians. They seem
10 be afraid to come in, but it would
be better to presume from their con-
duet that they do not want TO make
peace. When we came here on the
18th, Bull Bear, the head chief Of the
Dog soldiers, met US in the Arrapahoe
camp. and after talking with Mr.. Tay-
lor few moments, seemed satisfied

camp, gather in his people, and come
in within eight days certain. For this
delay he said he and his people had
done wrong on the war path, and that
they wanted to hold their annual
medicine making council. He said
they would get through in that time.

news was received. On the evening of

Theodore Tilton has been looking into
New York by gaslight, and dare not tell
half that he saw. He says of what he
did,


in company with several well known
public men, and under the guidance OF
the police, we made tour last Saturday
night through the nethermost haunts Of
misery, vice and crime in the city of New
York. This is an exploration which
every man connected with public affairs,
either by civil or editorial duty, ought,
if possible, to make, at least once in his
life. Born in New York, and having
always either resided or hborsd within
it, we never saw or knew our own city
until last Saturday night Never until
then had we any adequate conception OF
its poverty, Of its squalidness, of its viii
lainy, ofits debsuchery, of its lsprosy !
The sight can never be forgotten The
story, even if we had the heart to tell it,
must Cor deceney's sake, remain untold.
We can only say that none of the famil >
lar descriptions had adequately prepared
Us for the actual scenes We were
shocked, confoundsd, sickened J And
as we now look back upon the awful
revelations Of that one nights descent
into hell, we can hardly persuade our
selves that what we saw was reality; it
seems hideous dream"

About two years ago, when Mr.. Jeffer.
son Davis was first thrown into prison,
VOW was made by veteran typo and
respected citizen Of Charleston, that he
would neither cut his hair nor trim his
beard until the distinguished captive
should be again set at liberty, The citi-
zen referred to is man Of much weight
and great rc.rad:.y of person, and the
power Of endurance which he displayed
in remaining faithful to his vow, during
the terrible heat Of last summer, can be
better imagined than described. The
first summer it was not so bad-neither
his hair nor his beard having then
grown to an inconvenient length, and in
the winter the additional covering was
only comfortable. We congratulate our
friend that he has been released from
his vow before third summer has set
in, blessing which the few days of hot
weather we have already had must have
disposed him to appreciate. The tele-
graph boys last night were wild with
excitement under the effect of three such
startling pieces Of intelligence, all in one

Rev. DR.. Butler, the well-known Meth
odist missionary who established the
mission of that church in India in 1856,
recently returned to this country. He
makes the following statement of re-
markabIe case


In 1859 British soldier, while bear
ing dispatch from one magistrate to
another in the kingdom of Dude, passed
an unfrequented ravine where he saw a
pack of wolves, and with them human
being, evidently one of their company.
Immediately turning back he reported
the circumstance to the magistrate for
whom he was travelling. The latter
forthwith mustered number of coolies
and went to the place. The pack of
wolves fled short distance, and sought
refuge in sort of cave or den. Begin
ming to dig, the party soon discovered
the feet of the wild man, and, drawing
him forth, succeeded in binding and
carrying him to town. DR.. Butler has
seen him often since, ar 4 says be is evil
IDENTIFY man, and at the time Of his
capture apparently about twenty-four
years of age. t


The captured creature at first violently
resisted the attempt to put clothing upon
him, but after while ceased to tear the
garment He is now kept by gentle
man in the city of Thabje Vampore,
some eight hundred miles west of Cal
cutta. When first taken he was unwilling
to eat anything but raw meat, and has
never been able to speak or make any
approximation to knowledge of the
alphabet If any one looks earnestly or
sharply at him, he expresses his annoy
ance by halfuttered grunt, Immediately
turning away and settling on his
launches in a corner of the room, or
lies down. He eats his food off the
ground, and although evid .ntly human
being, is in habits wolf, with the in
stincts of that beast
