My Dear llerald-I suppose you have heard all about the late display of the fire department. Well, I-will only. state that it was an interesting occasion. The engines were handsomely burnished and tastily.dec, orated, while the honest rivalry and esprit of the firemen were really -charming. The Vigilant took .te palm for hand engines and the 3tna for' steanibrs. I take it. for granted that the young gentlemen were dined and wined. If they were not they should have been . And after happy spechmes. song and sentiment, the transition came, and, like all earth .scenes, the pleasant affair is a 'tale tha t is told.' Melons and blackberries have appeared in town, and so has Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. That miserable thing called a mamn damus,.in the case of one Pillsbury and his cohorts against the. present city offiai. weighs like an incubus upon our good city. Those poor, ~deluded creatures, who have waited so long for their mules, are waiting still. If they wait much longer. said mules will be stone blind. The darkies visions have already become opaque. They come up and down hitber-and have. made Charleston .a sort of Elysium or El Dorado, and .a veritable Ethiopean Mecca. Maj. Pillsbury, they say, promised them a pig a piece, *c.

WAsHINGToN, May 1.-General Dent had intimated to General Lee that Pres . ident Grant desired a visit from him. Whereupon General Lee, accompained by Mr. and Mrs. Taggart, of Baltimore, visited him this morning. In this con nection, a correspondent of the New York Herald says :., A gentleman who. professes to know the facts connected with tile projected visit, states that General Lee who is now in Baltimore, where he has been staying for a week past, will come to this city to-morrow or next day, and will be the guest of Mon tgomnery Blair. It is stated: that the General will visit the Executive mansion during his stay here, and will have one ~or more interviews with the President, who has requested General Lee to call upon him. It is intin)ated that the object of the interview sought for by the President is to obtain from from General Lee his opinion of the work ing of the reconstruction laws in the State of Virginia, and of the present temper of the leading citizens of the South. What other matters arc to be touched upon by two principal military cheiftains is not defluitely known, but from all that has leaked out concerning the proposed conference, it'is fair to infei that it will be of more than ordinary signifcance. General Lee is stopping In George town, and keeps- aloof from public observation. His visit to the White House, this morning, was the occasionof much interest. No other interviews were had with the President, by any one, after General Lge retired. A RICH DIscovR.-Mr. Gilpin, of Colorado, has written and argued that, nder the Rocky Mountains are solid masses of gold of incalculable magnitude and weight. The celebrated Western scholar, Mr. Catlin, has just communi cated to the world his belief that a great river, "larger than the Mississipps'" flows under the Rocky Mountains! and he is about to submit the evidete which~ he has collected in favor of this-startling hypohesis. The river will prove very. con veunient for- transporting the masses .of gold, when found.

His new muffin mould and ezg frier is a good thing, then there are globe coffee roasters.cake boxes and corn poppers, wire vegetable boilers, planhbed condensing coffee pots, fancy toilet setts, Brirania pock. at drinking cups, police lanterne, clothes sprinklers, egg whisks, graters, stoves, toasters, tongs. trays and trivets. Mr. Wright has a great manr things in the house furn'shing line-very many of which are absolutely indi-pen-able to the house keeper's comfort. For instance, bow plump, round and tempting the egg turned out of the little frier to accompany the sav ory toast, and the fragrant cup of coffee from the condensing coffee pot. And then the little clothes sprinkler, so convenient to those who love to use the smoothing iron; and.the 'Leeder' cooking stove, the ne plus ultra of stoves, etc. The only thing that Wright hasn't got among his elegant plain, planished and Japaned ware, is the tea-pot. Send for a few dozen planished tea pts to go along with the elegant coffee pots, and those meditating houe-keeping can be sup. plied from the beginning to the end of the chapter. ~ PasseaAL-We were graified with a visit from the Rev. T. C. McMahan, who is stationed at Anderson, C. H., and who, commi'sioned by Bishop Lynch of Charles ton, to establish a church at that place, is now making efforts to raise an amount suf. ficient for this purpose. We are plea"ed to state that the Rev. gentleman is meeting with a large success. The citizens of An derson, Columbia, Charleston and elsewhere have already nobly contributed to this Chris, dan enterprise. It is Mr. McMahan's pure pose to call on our citizens here, for a day or two, and we heartily commend him to their consideration. Home AGAIN, not from a foreign shore, however, but from the good, old hospitable city of Charleston, after an absence of nearly three reeks, the biggest holiday, by the way, we have had since the "late. un pleasantness." We do not intend to weary the reader with a description of the long ride down nor back, nor of all the sights seen, or pleasures experienced, nor tell them of what we ate or drank, and a thou sand other things, ch no. Their imagina tion can picture it all out when they are told that we took part in all that was worth enjoying, afid paid our scot freely. We were disappointed sorely, however, in not being permitted to participate in the great celebration .of the 27th-the gala day of the firemen. On that morning, tired nature gave way, and, the weak frame succumbed to a chill, or rather an ague, of such power and spite that had every man in the pro cession of that day been a steamer, and every boy a-hand engine, and every lady a ve locipede, allthe negoes sent to the other sidle ~of Jordan, the street cars free, ice cream ditto, and it was 'pronused -that all tdie engines would unhianii throw a stream which would reach the.fao:ons resting place of the harp of a thousand strir,gs, and wake a maelodfy such as a'ngels might listen te with delight, ae could not have inoved fro,u our bed. That Tuesday nmorning's ague will not be forgotten soon, nor will the devoted attention of 'our dear littld nurse. We missed all t he show, parade and fun, what we waited nearly a week beyond our time to see. But we are home ag-ain, and have the pleasing recollectiews of many delights to' fall brek upon. Not one-half the reasons imputed to us by the junior c:arried 'us to the city by the sea however, and we cannot but think he had been star-gazing just before he wrote the local referring to the senior's trip, an d that his visions were of green peas and lamb, in wahich mine host Butterfield and the Gre cian bend of the Charleston ladies were all intermixed. Green peas were not in all our thoughts and lamb is our aversion. That our billiary duct was slightly cata wam pussed we do not deny, and all the more proof that we- were proof aigainast his soft impeachment. But there is no harm done, but rather good, for had we the appetite which he would make the public believe, Butterfield might have had a famine in his famous hotel and have been reduced to want. We are home again reader, have seen the elephant, and for a time will bend ourself to work. Our chief business was pleasure and recreahiona, we have had both, and are now ready to devote the present to your interest. BRAVE Wovns or A BRAVE OL.D MAN. -In reply to a note from the citizens of Lynchbtirg, Virginta, tendering: him a public dinner, General Early writes: "I am constrained to decline the pro posed entertainment. In doing so, I desire to express to you my most heart felt thanks for the cordial greeting you have given me, individually and collec tively, and to assure you that neither in wandering abroad, nor on my return, have I seen any cause to abate in at tachment to the land of my birth, or to waver in devotion to the principles which actuated us in our late struggle for all that was dear. "It. is the hour oPdefeat and adversity that really tries the hearts and souls of men, and thosj who shall have passed thr,ugb all its te.mptations withoiut an abandonment of honor or principle will be entitled in the end, to be regarded as the true heroes of our cause. "Very truly-and respectfully yours, "J. A. E ARLY." It is said that the proprietors of the cel ebrated Plantation Bitters, rent no less thu, nine pews from the different denomi nations in New York City, for all those of their employees who will occupy them reg ularly, free of charge. This is certainly praiseworthy, and it is to be hoped that others who employ a Large number of peo ple, will follow the example. The above tact, accompanied with the belief that a firm who would look so closely after the morals and aelfare of their employees, would not undertake to impose upon the public, has induced na to give the Planta tion Bitters a trial, and having found them to be al that is represented, we. cordially recommend them as a tonic of rare merit.

MARRIED LIFE IN INDIANA-THE WRONGS or THE DIvoucE LAW. On last Tuesday, Mrs. Albert French, of Larnnge, left the room of her sick husband to go on an errand to the house of a neighbor, across the street. While thei e, sotue one asked her if she had heard of a rumor that she was divorced from her husband. She replied no, and, in a laughing way, was making siome re mark about the absurd stories people tell, when a person entering handed her a note from an attorney, informing her that the rumor was true. Her husband had made an application in the Circuit Court of Elkhart County, where the parties had never lived at all ; the Sher iff had served the process so informally, that she never received it; the applica tion had been granted on the 19th of March ; her husband had brought the decree home with him, and lived with her more than a week before she found it out,-during wlich time she bad -been attentively nursing him through a fit of sickness Mrs. French was almost killed by the totally unexpected intelligence. She had been married to her husband twen ty-one years , they had two children nearly grown, and so far as it is known, the family has always lived in peace and unity. The husband is worth $5,000, but the wife did not receive one cent of alimony, although a portion of the prop erty wa' inherited by her. It is one of the most infamous cases we have ever heard of, and as the decree was granted in a country where the parties never re sided, a considerable amount of perjury must hare been committed. The matter should have a legal~ investigation, for it certainly caps the climax on any thing we have ever known in the way of In diana divorces.-Indiana Sentinel of the 5th. Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips ; and we have never heard of any mental trouble arising therefrom. - WARRTD., On the 29th April, by the Rev. J. K. Men denhall.
