I We extract the following from a Virginia letter, which gives the eonr .versation between a planter and the ; writer:* He fwent on to say that for a time Iiis high admiration for the character 'of Gen. Lee had sensibly declined, j He had been told that the General had made application to the Washington authorities for pardon. He had sup? posed that rather than do that the General would undergo exile or death. Not lo?g afterward an opportunity had presented itself for speaking tq Gen. Lee * on the subject. Thc report ' proved to be correct and not a slander. A voluminous application had been sent in, to'wli?ch, however, .no answer has yet been made. Since, the time of his visit a reply may have been re- ! ceived. Having learned the motives I wilvil had actuated Gen. Lee in ask- j ing for a pardon, his admiration, his i veneration, for the man and the pa? triot, was profounder than ever. Had the General considered his own feel? ings alone, he would have died sooner than humble himself and a just cause hy a seeming admission that it was | wrong. His application was one more proof of his love for his country. There were thousands of high-toned yimhg men in the South who medi? tated expatriating themselves, and who, when asked why they did not seek for a par?lon, replied, that until 'Gen. Lee had done so they would not. \ After a long struggle with his iuclina-1 tions, believing that those* young men ought to he saved to the country i whose future they were so well quali? fied to adorn, and, by participating in the rights of citizenship, to guide and shape, the General had done violence to his own feelings, and made the re? quest. Still he had made no abject submission, but had accompanied the petition for pardon with a full state? ment of those things which made his past conduct seem to him right and proper, and had avowed his unchang? ing devotion to his former principles, j I asked Mr. K. if he-supposed tho Government would send Gen. Lee a favorable answer. "O, yes," he replied, "undoubt- ' edly." * I "And does he expect to be restored to full enjoyment of all the rights of citizenship?" "Yes,, sir; he has asked for that. Anti if it is refused him, he will at any rate li?ve done all that he intended to do. The class of men whom he in? tended to benefit haye, many of them, applied to be pardoned, and probably all will do so. Thus Gen. Lee's sacri? fice will have saved many of our first young men from exile, and opened to them a public career from which they wouhl otherwise have shut themselves out." . , General Gilhnor?'s Department of South Carolina Ls gradually stripped oi troops. The 165th New York -(Zouave?l take their departure mext ? week. They'will be sent home, it is said without arms a punishment for the conduct of a few me? of the regi . ment in the late disturbances.

[Army and Nary* Journal. . txcneral Kanta Anna. .On ene of the lofty peaks of the little island of St. Thomas, West In? dia Islands, resides thc most remark? able man whom Mexico has produced -General Santa Anua. He occupies an elegant villa, with extensive grounds, and luxuriant shrubbery, and all the appurtenances which wealth and taste can collect around a private gentleman's establishment. Here, in retired comfort and philoso? phic resignation, lives the hero of Tampico, who, thirty yours ago, de? stroyed the last army of old Spuin; who, ten years af forwards, lost a leg in j resisting the landing of the French* i:i j Mexico, and who lcd with cons um- j mate skill and energy the resistance of ? his degenerate countrymen to our ] own conquering armies. A United States naval officer, who has lately visited the exiled Mexican ! chief, says that his carriage is still military and erect,' and that he lias tho j appearance of excellent health and condition. He walks so easily without ! the aid of a cane that it would be im- j possible to tell which ia His natural and which his artificial leg. He is rather over than under six feet in ?height, and c?oas not stoop at all. His ! complexion is rather dark, his eyes \ piercing, but kindly, and his mouth < I firmly compressed, but not stern. "I \ am a poor exile," he said, "but from mylittle watch-tower of St. Thomas I look all around. " jj,-. ? And then he returnod to Mexico, discoursing with mingled sadness and humorous irony upon the condition' of affairs there. Ho looked upon . the Austro-French Empire as a very tehi l porary affair. He described his ejec? tion most amusingly. ''Those French .are a very polite people," said he; "very polite indeed. We talk, youJ knowj of everything a av disposici?n to our friends, but we don't mean that literally. They *do. That Bazaine told? me that a steam voyage would conduce to my health, and he furnish? ed me "with a steamer. He told mo to j go where I pleased, but not to come I back to Mexico. . That was thc only j condition the pleasant fellow made." "Look here," he added, his voice, j face, manner, everything changing 1 i him to another man* "perhaps I may j yet have an Opportunity of recipro j eating such attentions."* [Richmond Republican. . LAND AT THE SOUTH.-While our speculators .ire on tho watch for what^ they consider gtxnl investments for their money, they would do well to keep an eye upon the Southern pa? pers. Land at the Soutii is now very cheap, and no one will deny that a ; large portion of it can be worked with great profit itt the future, i" not im? mediately. It has always hoon claim? ed by a large number of people at the North, that ono result of slavery was to impoverish the South; and were the j Lind in that section of the country worked as it is in the Northern States, j it would be many fold more produc? tive, and hence mwre profitable. Now is-the time for those persons to put then*,theory to the test. Land in the late rebellious States is now offered for sale in large quantities, and can he purchased at extremely ' reasonable rates.-Xetc York World. DESTRUCTION HY Fn;r. or. AN Om WELL.-Well No. lfe United States Farm, on the Pit Hole Greek, was destroyed by fire, ojj the evening of the 3d. Thc well was finished, and | was flow ing about 20U barrels, and no tanks being up thc oil, was allowed to flow on the ground. Some twenty persons were standing in and.around the derricks, some of whom," it i? fear? ed, were unable to eseapc, for the ! ground for forty feet around*was one bbeet of flame in a moment. Three J men are known to be ^seriously burn? ed, and only saved their fives by jump? ing into the creek. The well is still flowing and burning. - ?.. ' The negroes employed on the rail? road at Game Point {uear Fredericks burg, Va.,) became unruly and threat? ened insurrection. The military were called out, and after one of the rioters had been shot, order was restored. The army worm threatens entire de? struction to the cotton crop in Louisi? ana. SANTA ANH.Y'S PROCLAMATION.-That political chameleon and irrepressible revolutionist, Antonio Lopez de Santa j Anna, from his retreat at St. Thomas, has addressed a proclamation to the people of Mexico. We are not quite sure that the document is genuine, as there appears to be, just now, an effort to force upou the public a variety of sensational fables in regard to Mexicmi affairs, The proclamation in question is sufficiently grandiloquent, absurd, Mexican and Santa Annaish, to have Emanated from the source to which it is credited; and possibly the superan? nuated hero of a thousand cock-pits and of a less number- of military de? feats nifty have uttered that amount of sublime nonsense. This reflection occurs to us: If Santa Anna is about to support in person the cause of Jua? rez, Mexican republicanism needs the interposition of some power as mighty as that of the United States. The question of Mexicali republi oani/nr"oecupies a great deal of popu? lar attention at this moment; but we e/>nfess that we are more concerned About the republicanism of our own country. While civil war waa raging upon our own territory, wc urged upon tin: public the consideration of Moxicau affairs, in the hope that the sections might be united by a common desire to free this continent from imj perialism. But the close of the war has left this republic in a very uiire publiean condition, and, in our opi? nion, it is our first duty to save our? selves from usurpation, and afterward to assist our neighbors. The reign of Maximilian luis thus far brought no great hardship upon the Mexican peo? ple. They are more fr>e under his imperialism than we are u>ider our professed republicanism. Onr conn- j try needs rest, recuperation,, and re? storation io its natural political eor/U tion; and this is not a propitious time ' for provoking -a quarrel with foreign powers. Let us first put our own ! household in order, and then, when we, have scorned the benefits of self 1 government for ourselves, wo shall be better qualified to confront imperial? ism elsewhere'.-2Veto York Netcs. Most nations love peace, and enfti j vate it assiduously. Not so the Mexi? cans. They appear to be happy only : ??\ war. Agitation, anarchy, strife, ' appear to be their congenial element*. ', Tn trie last thirty-five years, their re I volutions-great and little, general I and provincial-may be safely esti ; nutted nt from forty to fifty, Revolu I ti on seems to be the natural, normal i condition of that excitable and restless ; people. How property is preserved, ? families raised and supported, chil ! dren educated; how trade is carried on," how the learned professions and j mechanic arts are acquired, we cannot '? understand. There really appears to I " ?. no leisure in Mexico for study or r carrying on the regular avocations ; of life. Revolution absorbs every ! energy. Half robber, half patriot, j tile Mexican chiefs are all alike. Tl ie i pre-eminent aiid the most generally i known representative man of this class is Santa Anna. For the past ten years j he has been an .exilex and for a Mexi? can has muinhdned remarkable reserve and repose. He has, however, not I been an inattentive or uninterested 1 observer of events. *Te the seating of j Maximilian upon the Imperial throne j he bad given his countenance-his j sanction. He now, from his retreat, i issues a manifesto to the Mexican i people in the true "Ereles vein," in j which he denounces Maximilian and j his Government. He declares that j "the hopes of those who sought in j monarchy tho repose which the Re I piddle denied them, have been disap I pointed, the national dignity bas been contemned, justice derided^ our holy rights trodden under foot, thought en? slaved, prostitution elevated and virtue vilified, the church afflicted with tri? bulation and the. sanctuary draped in mourning." He raises the cry of "war to the invaders." He says "liberty or death should be the cry of every gene? rous bosom in which honor has her home, ^independence her altar, and liberty her rites."-Richmond Times. The yellow fever is prevailing to a considerable extent at Havana. Tire proportion of deaths is greater than usual.
