Lee went over to the rebels; is one characteristic of the rebel chieftain; 1 written to his son while the latter was a cadet at West Point. The letter has got into print, and is as follows : Baltimore, February i, 1852. My Dear M'Boo: This is not nty day for writing to you. It is your mother's turn, and she claims the privilege. But being not ready to take up the pen, I am.merely getting it ready for her. I shall leave her to tell yog of domestic events,- and will at once jump to what is first in my mind, viz: that, only four months have to fly by, you may say, before the June' examination and your furlouerh.

A Man Confined in a Saltpetre Cave for Two Hundred and Seyenty Days.?-The people of Parker's gap, Tennessee, were much alarmed by a rumor that there was a human being in an old saltpetre cave near the'gap?supposed to be the same eavc! recently visited by Col. Brig_ ham, While oil picket. The. Colonel failed to-explore the cave 011 account of the noxious vapors issuing from the opening'. The ladies, God bless 'inn, ever ready to respond ,to these calls of humanity, hurried to the rescue, but their united, eHbrts Were insutlicient to extricate the sitfterer. Surgeon Mark*, medical director of this division, and Surgeon Powers, of the Artillery corj>s, were sunt for, and after a great deal of labor, the poor fellow was taken from his living tomb. lie was immediately recognized as John J . o Harrison, Jr. It is supposed that this unfortunate man Was deposited in the cave about the middle of August, by hisTather, who is connected with the Confederate armv. and that ' . lie has remained there ever since. , When taken out he was entirely helpless and speechless, and although" youthful was wholly destitute of hair and teeth. lie will not he able to tell his horrible tale of suffering for years. How he sustained his existence in "that dark, unfathomed cave" for three quarters of a .year, is a question for the student in physiolo. gy to answer? Chattanooga ( azette^ Qualifications of an EditoU.? An English writer savs: "A frond* ed iter?a competent newspaper conductor?is like a general or a poet, born, not made. Exercise and experience give facility, but tlie qualification is innate, or it is never manifested. On tlie London daily papers, all the great historians, novelists, poets, essayists, and tli(5 writers of travels, have been tried, and nearly every one lias failed." "I can," said tlie late editor of the London Times, "find very seldom a man of common sense." Nearly all successful editors h ave been Y>f Tikis d iw ipt'.on. " A good editor-seldom writes much fo?* liis paper?he reads, judges, selects, dictates, alters and combines, and to do all this well, he has but little time for composition. To write for a paper is one thing?to ed it another. ?? II?
