As yet, although it comes in most plausible garb, we do not givo full credence to this talc of wholesale murder, retri bution and revenge In some respects^ it seems well nigh incredible ; in other respects, nothing seems moro probable.

It is due Miss L. to say that, though sb o has t much in public, she is absolutely free from stago strut or affectation and sings with a HU? which is very charming. We earnestly "ad this young lady to go abroad as soon as she possibly do so, and study for the lyric stage such a case, we would predict for her? very 1 liant future.

A. il'A'J?ilNS, I Orderly Sorgt. Chaos. NorlS America, in all its length and breath, * seoms'to be one univoraal chaos. Calamities and "j horrors and tragedies and good reports and evil j reports follow upon each other so rapidly, and so ! tumultuously, that even thc calmest, coolest and wisest men r.re utterly confused and dumbfound ? cd, not knowing what to say, wbat to predict, or even what to think. The Northern people, ns well as the Southern, seem to "bo drifting ;about without a bclinsman and without a rudder. Well wili it Lo for us in the sa times if we have faith to bolievo that God above is it tho helm ! For our own part, wo thank that God that we have such faith. . ' Ia our Dews columns will be found all tho par ticulars of Gen. LEE'S capitulation. The first fight of any importance which took place between Genis. LEE and GHAT?T after the evacuation of j Richmond, oncjarred at Amelia C. H., thirty-six mile* South of that city. In this ' engagement Gen. BEE repulsed tho enemy ; and subsequently retired to Jetorsvilb, still further South on the line of th"e Danville Railroad. Here, he again fought and repulsed thc pursuing foe. In tho meantime Sheridan occupied Rurksville Station, Urns rendering it unsafe for Gen. Lee to continue his retreat along the Danville road. The latter accordingly tamed ott* and marched wesfwardly'J through Cu ia h orland and Buckingham counties | into App?maiox county, On thia march Geh. Lee lost his baggage and ordnance trains, and a 11 large part of his artillery. At Appomatox C. H., on tho Sth April tho Confederate General found himself confronted.or rather surround cd,by Grant, Sheridan and Thomas with 200,000 men. To 'give. I thom battle^ Gen. Lee hud only 25,000 men-and I these without food er ammunition. Tho Northern commander, well knowing the dc ape rate situation of bia. great antagonist, now addressod nia* a communication, and a correspondence followed which resulted in the surrender, on thc 9th April, of Gen. Lee with 23,000 men'-his whole army.' Of* these only 8,000 were effective men. Gen. Lee surrendered tho army in person; Gen. Gran: treated him with extreme courtesy, refusing to receive, or retain, his sword,. j When one thinks wolly of tho mutter, he will not wondor at the dwindling away of the -Army of Northern Virginia. Many were killed, and a still larger number cap lured, during the protract ed fighting which preceded the abandonment of Riebmond. Many were captured on the retreat; I and many again were kilted or captured during i the hard fighting which immediately preceded the surrender. The great and glorious army of Nbrthern Vir ginia was not whipped, but overcome by countless numbers and mere bruto force. The men compo sing this army did, and have done, their best>; they could not possibly do more. ? For four long years, they have marched and fought and charged and starved and bled and died, uncomplaingly, I J inrincibly, unyieldingly, on the field of battle and in tho camp, in casements full of blood and thunder, in dark, dank and dreary trenches, in ghaeily and unwholesome.hospitals, on bone-cov ered plains, in pestilential mar-hen, on fields of muddy nozo ; their food u& their clothing have been of the coarsest and' scan tie 31 And their sublimely noble leader has led them and followed them and loved them through weal and. through woo ; and at the last moment, proved kia lofty heroism and high moral courage by refusing to sacrifi?e them to 200,000 butcher?. Anathema maranatha be the man who uttors a word of re proach against Gen. Rousirr ?. LEK or his noble veterans! Bach one of them deserves a monu ment as high as that of Cheops. Since the surrender, report bas located Gon. Leo in Greensboro, N. 0 , at Richmond whore his family was at the time of the evacuation, and more latterly at City Point, on James River, ne gotiating terms of-poace. Tho 'saldiere*of his army were paroled upon tho fiold, and are at present rapidly returning home. And DOW occurs the question : 3$hat is to be done ? Wo know not. Bot let our people dismiss tho idea that we aro going to pass under the Yankee yoke. Nothing of the sort is going to I J take place. Thero is mora going on than wo wot of. " Man's extremity is God's opportunity." For tho Advertiser. The Final Result. This exprc.mion haa boon bandied about so much that it has bocome ono of tho vulgar say ings of-a nondescript class who barn done great injury to tho Cinfoderaeywhy tholr example. We do pot mean however to insinuate that all men, who uso these meaningless words, nra devoid of virtue and patriotism, but simply to affirm that, undor thc oharm of tbsir funded potency, the cause ol' freedom bas boon shamefully abandoned. It is difficult to find a miserable skulker from tho army,-a cowardly wretch fearing exposure .and gunpowder, and seeking refago- from patriotic duty by collusion with aume^ scoundrel, as cow, drdly aud degradoi as himself, who has ?ought I fur him same tafe and unintelligible appointment, -it is difficult te find some so called prominent ! citiren, who obtains executive exemption or de tail by reason of alleged important duties' at/ home, but tohotc time it ?pent in breaking the. lata of hie country,-in iTemoralizfng the youth by his con duet and example, ia the hclliih rice of gambling-but all of tcham salve their consciences with tho wretched and fatal delusion of (he "final result," at if they teer? not alto ncceteary adju-. vant? to iud vault. But where aro we now ? The grand army of Nortborn Virginia has surrendered ; tt'o. whole country is overrun, and in chaoctic confusion, and tba " final result/' from present appearances, seems to be subjugation and extermination. The idea then heretofore entertained of the final result, seems to Lavo boen a morbid - delation. The case then is simply this : Men of Edge field,unless you .come forth from your dens of iniquity, in which? despite of your leountry'? agony, .you da itv con gregate-unless you gird on the "?word of tho, 'Lord ?nd of Gideon," your country will be the portion of tbe invader, and your names the sy nonyme of eternal infamy. Wo have essayed for several years- to illustrate to our peaplo, tho blessings of moral law, and tho necessity of moral character in this piece; but. our words, like thoso of Israel's Prophets in* her decline, have been unheeded, and disr?gardtd. And now that tho csjpseqnonees'of (be people's misconduct looms heavily upon their destiny, the lonely character of tho Hermit, which through all vicissitudes, bas sought to Le ?f service to bis countrymen, and .which, unaided, los, single handed, breasted the corruptions of thc times, failing to bc of scrvieq, now retiros Lom Ile stace of public exhortation, and takes its Hunt adieu from this department of public duty in the beau tiful and touching .language of the Psalmist, "Except the Lord heep the city, the watchman traketh Intt in eui?."
