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.

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.

~ 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.

-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.
