Joseph E. McDonald, who, a few "vears ago, was going to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia or remove the capital to free soil, and who afterwards became one of the most truculent and pliable tools of the slave holders, and whose whole disposition was extremely pacilic during the late war, is threatening most terrible things if Seymour and Blair

a deep black border, and bearing the ususd emblem of mourning, with the following inscription, is being circulated in New York city: "Sacred to the memory of the Colored Orphan Assyluni of New York, which was burned to ashes, July, I8(5o, by a .ruffianly mob, who were acknowledged and addressed by Horatio Seymour, Governor of New York, as being his 'friends.' God save the State of New York.""
GEN. SICKLES, in his speech delivered at Saratoga, in response to a sere nade, said, "the only state of peace worth securing was that condition under which the humblest Union soldier could build his cabin in South Carolina, and float the old starry flag from its roof-trco, and wear himself his old 'blue coat' when he went out to his toils, and yet no one would dare to harm a hair of his loval head."

The following, from the .Montgomery J'icaj/nuc, is the Southern account .of the famous surrender of Lee to Gen. Grant at Appomattox ••Every now and then we see in our exchanges erroneous descriptions of the surrender at Appomattox, and how General Lee stood and surrendered under an apple tree—how Gencrcl Grant admired Lee's beautiful sword, and returned it, remarking that Lee was too brave a man to be without, a sword, etc. "Gentle reader, none of these things happened. Lee did not surrender under an appletrce. He did not oiler his sword to Grant. Grant did not admire the weapon and return it. If our readers will bear with us, wc will as we saw it.
conllict from a distance, dispatched, from head puarters, a Ilag of truce to Grant—the strife ends, and the hostile lines are drawn back. While this correspondence was going oil, and while Lee was awaiting the arrival of
General Grant, he took shelter from the sun under an apple tree in McLane's orchard, under which Colonel Talbott of the engineer crops, had placed some rails for a seat, and fully half a mile from Appomattox. Grant's arrival on the outskirts of his army was soon announced. Lee, in a full suit of gray, with his English sword

stoop to gaze. The interview between the opposing chieftains was severely simple but few attendants present, it took place between the pickets of the two armies, and lasted only a few minutes. Grant apologiz-, ed for not having iiis sword, which was behind in his wagon. The terms were agreed upon, and Lee rode back to his army. Commissioners on cith-: cr side were appointed to arrange details. The surrender became known and then to us, for two days, a blank.! Lists of our names were made out. I and two days afterward, with heavy hearts, we li led by, brigade at a time, before a liue of captors, and deposited our arms and banners. General Lee rode homeward on the third day and all was over.
McLane's orchard, in which' the tree was, under which General Lee stood, was all cut down by relic-wor-shippers. So much for the tree.'
A French paper mentions that a gentleman whose cellar .had been greatly infested with rats, found that •they disappeared very soon after he placed a cask of petroleum in the place. t.
