The Great Jlcn of the Confederacy on the Situation Opinions of Lcc, Hood, Buckncr, and Hlu'clcr -Good Advice to the Southern Tcople, Etc. Etc. Oeueral Cee. Lexington, Va., Mmch 31. - After a tardy and dlsaereeable ride over the most miry road, from the Natural Bridpe to tnis place, that It has ever been my misfortune to witness, I arrived here this evening, having accomplished a dis tance ot fonrteen miles in seven hours, whiok will pive a faint idea of the horrible state of the roads in this country. Having a letter of in troduction to General Lee. I called at his resi dence late this evening, and was received by himself In a kind but courtly ami difruitled man ner. I found him to be all thai has been said of him as a gentleman, and very shortly lclt com pletely at ease in bis presence. He was affable aud very agreeable, and seemed to be well in formed upon matters in his immediate locality and the condition of the State gem-raily, in which he takes the deepest interest, the welfare of the people being evidently most at heart. He disciuRcd, without any reserve whatever, all subjects on this head. The Geueral said he be lieved the people in this section were probably in a better condition than those in almost any other part of the State, none of them beitii; m actual want of the necessaries of life. Some cases of extreme destitution had recently been bi ought to his notice by letter, in the South ern portion ot the State, and he mentioned one family of distinction who were suti'enng. He alto related with some Icoling the case ot a lady in AUbama, who had written to her son, then at his college, to come home immediately, as she could no longer ati'ord to pay his fees, and stating that of all the negroes they had bad every one had deserted her save one, even those whom she before considered most fuitnlul. This was on the lino of some railroad, by which tho negroes in its vicinity had ncaily all emigrated to other States. Spending of the colored popu lation, to whom he is sironuly attached, their propensity to congregate in tons and cities was to be deplored, rather than to work steadily on farms where their labor was at the present time so essential, and where they would be amply remunerated. A great ninny healthy, able-bodied men in this towa w .re living on the earnings of their wives, who washed for the students at college, while they could obtain plenty of work in the country. The General also remarked that a letter he bad received from Gen. Hampton bad mentioned that a great deal of destitution existed both iu South Carolina and Mississippi. His politics are, like those of General Grant, unknown, and, like that officer, he has a decided objection to be spoken. of in connection with polUicat affairs. I remarked 'General Hampton has been giving some sensi ble advice to the negroes in Columbia." To which he replied "80 I have hoard. They will soon, doubtless, be able to judge for themselves, and should be educated to such a standard." Knowing his reticence with regard to matters politic, 1 alluded as delicately as E ossicle to the reports that have recently een promulgated in the newspapers purport ing to give his views as to the course the Southern people should pursue under the pre sent circumstances, when he said: "You must excuse me, sir, from exprestog myself upon that subject. My positiou is a very peculiar one. I am a paroled prisoner, and have no right to speak upon political matteis; and anything 1 may have said has only been among my imme diate circle of friends, from w hom it doubtless escaped unintentionally and reached the news paper." 1 then remarked, "lhe reports alluded to have been published in the entire press of the country, and in this way will have a decided eflect with the Southern people," which elicited the following: " I wish lhe Southern people to take such measures as will monspeedily restore them to their prosperity. With that view I was in favor of a convention to accept the terms of the Militarv bill, but now I learn that the Sup plementary bill places that power in the hands of the military commander." I re marked 6uch was the case, when he said, "I hope that every citizen who can vote will vote 60 as to secure the speedy restoration and welfare of the country." During our con versation the General said he disliked being paraded before the public in newspapers; but of such importance and general interest to the pub lic are his opinions at the present time, that I leel it a duty to give them so far as I succeeded in obtaining them in a fair aud legitimate man lier. He confines himsclt to bis own sphere of duties, and never eveu reads a newspaper, so that what Le knows of the situation is beard in conversation with others. He re marked that he heaid the Legislature were to reassemble, but he thought if the business ot the session was completed they would be more wise in staying at home an opinion in which numerous citizens of Virginia will concur. It is a noteworthy fact that while at all previous sessions of the College and Insti tute here quarrels and disturbances between the students and cadets were 01 irequent occurrence, such is the influence of Geueral Lee's pre sence, and so great is the respect in which he is held by all, that they will make any saciidcts rather than have a quarrel that might roach hit ears, and now a spirit of emulation for good Denavior is engenoerea Detwe&n tucni. General Hood. New Orleans, March 25. General J. B. Hood is now the head of a large commercial house in this city. He received me very cordially, and expressed his views in a very candid and clear manner. If I do not mistake the tenor of his . conversation, he is in favorof a cheerful and ready compliance on the part of the South with the terms ot the Sherman bill, and the. act supplementary thereto. He emphatically de clares that from the Potomac to the Rio Grande the people earnestly desire peace, prosperity, and unity, and that further resistauee to the Government never enters their thoughts. At tne same time he feels that the South can never swallow the policy of the radicals, which is so diametrically at variance with the Constitution as interpreted bv those who framed it. lie has never con aidered that the South should surrender any right under the Constitutiou excepting slavery, and that having once more become good citi zens under the Union, they should be protected in their riffhta of nrooertv. aud not be asked to become parties to tho disfranchisement of men thev had selected to let) resent them in tho forum or the field. While he is very glad that the South has not had anything to do with giving the negro the right of suffrage, he is in lavor of eracetullv Yielding to the demands of Congress, and giving the negro the privilege of voting, convinced as ne is mat tne negro interests are synonymous with those oi his old master, and that he will vote the conservative ticket throughout. The oulvfear that he ex presses is that Congress may go further, aud contscaie me property or parties who panic! pated in the Kebelllon. He is very firm In the belief that the negro will vote with the Southern Eeopie unless congress, by promises of con scating the property of Rebels for the benetit of negroes, bids higher than the Boutb lor the negro vote. The Genen.l believes that hia nnnin will generally register and exercise the fran chise privilege under the law. and expressed the hope that the people, North and South, will unite in a determination to keep the radical maioritv strictly to the landmarks of tha nnn. stitution and laws. He emphatically denies that m nortion of the Southern Deoble. aud par,.. eiiuj tbe leWien of tbe Conicderacy, art loyal to the Government of the United States, or that they have not accepted the verdict of lead and Iron in good faith. General Ituckner, of Kentucky. This gentleman's views are somewhat peculiar, lie has always argued, and still insists, that when any people are oppressed they should resist, and if necessary use force for a redress of grievances. He considers that, tho Rebellion wus begun at Washington, when encroachments were made upon the Constitution and efforts made to oppress the South, lie declares that he entered the service to iesist usurpation, and he still adheres to the idea that the Itcbellion was justifiable; yot he is for cheerfully accept ing the results, and gracelully yieldiug to such demands as the conquerors make, provided the manhood of the people is not fcopardieed. The General, In course of conversation, remarked, "I think that the endurance of wrong that we cannot avoid is very different from making our selves parties with others to etlect wrongs. To apply that to the present emergency Con gress has deprived us of ourconstitutiona'l rights; we ought to endure it as a patient people, and bide a time when conservatism will restore us to our former condition of things." On the question of negro suffrage, the General said the South must cheerlully accept It, and me the negro at the polls, teaching them their interests are identical with those of the whites; that they must consolidate the people and send to the State Convention men who truly express the sen timent of the people, which is opposed to dis franchising such men as Lee, Beauregard, and Johnston, who were elevated to the positions thev filled by the voice ol the people. If men of this class are to be disfranchised, the South should not be parties to it, but let the responsi bility rest upon Congress. In answer to the ques tion whether he thought the negro vote would be thrown lor the conservatives, he said: "We can divide tho vote in the cities, but in tne country we can vote the negro easily." He expressed his desire to see the South filled up by Indus trious laborers and capitalists troni tho North; but he feared in a tew years this might result disastrously, lor his experience showed that Northern men, after a few years' residence, became even more ultra Southern than natives ot the soil, and the Southern people might have difficulty in holding them In check. He believed most of the people would register and exercise the Iranctiise, but they never would vote If it involved the disfranchisement of their leaders. Let the radicals take the responsibility of that. Before the Southern people became parties to so great a wrong they should still remain out and suffer. "By adopting the Constitutional amendment," hesaid, "as proposed, aud sending radicals to Congress irom these States, we would be tying the bands of the Northern con servatives, and lending ourselves to the over throw of the constitutional Government of our fathers, acts which we canuot consistently con sent to." General Wheeler. I called also upon Major-General Wheeler, the celebrated cavalry raider. The General, to use his own word:", is "in favor of peace, secu rity, and the unity of the Government." He declared that be was no politician, but the war having ended disastrously to the South, they should accept the verdict in good faith, and, extending the hand of fellowship, unite with all true patriots to maintain the Federal Union and perpetuate its glory. I was very much pleased with the spirit manifested by the little sabrevr, who Is evidently sincere in the views he advanced. He declares that ever siuce his parole he has eschewed politics, and turned his attention to business, and that every Southerner should endeavor to advance the material interests of his country in prefer ence to quarrelling with the victors for the purpose of secaringbetter terms. N. . Herw.d. THE FIRE IN THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Further Particulars Statement of a Gentleman who Saw One of the Victims Dr. Scuffs Statement Condition of Sufferers, Etc. Ktc. Notwithstanding the exertions made to con ceal from the public the true state ot affairs in relation to the explosion which threatened to destroy the Academy ot Music last Monday night, still the lleratd Is enabled to furnish ad ditional iacts in connection with the accident. The statements which have appeared and the rumors which have gained currency, that only one man; has been injured, appear singularly incorrect when the following statements from eye witnesses of some of the sufferers have been perused: FROM A THIRD AVENUE CAR PASSENGER. About live minutes after the explosion of lhe gaB occurred on Monday evening last, at the Academy of Music, one of the victims, a boy about fifteen years of age, entered a Third ave nue tar, in which I was riding up town. The boy's buir was all aimed round his head, and his face was in a complete blister, from chin to eyebrows. The passengers got up on his enter ing and asked the cause. He told it iu a very lew wcrds: "The gas," he said, "which had been kit turned on, by some oue's negligence, had lilted the room;, he weut in to light it, and was blown out of the place." It was a wonder that the Academy hud not been blown out, aud that the roof had not fallen in, thus causing a geneial catastrophe. I think it showed great heart iessness, to say tne least or it, to send this boy home to his residence in Fifty ninth street. on a cold night, without first calling a doctor to attend to his sunenngs. me managers seem to have no consideration for humanity. Ascertaining that Dr. Henry Senff. of No. 109 Clinton place, had attended oneof the boys who was burned at the timu of the tire, he was visited last eveniug for the purpose of learning tne condition ot his patient, rue following is his statement: DR. SENFF'S STATEMENT. The boy whom I am treating for injuries sus tained at the fire in the Academy of Music last Monday night, is very dangerously burned about 1 ue neaa, lace, neck, uota nanus, ana even in the inside of the mouth, tongue, and the palate; wim care, alter a long time, ne will probably recover, but it will require great care and at tention; I visit my patient daily. The condition ot James Cox, whose statement nypeureu jeswraay, is somewhat improved. His father called at the Academy of Music yesterday In order to see if he could obtain any redress lor the injuries received by his son, and he received little or no satlsiactlon. Mr Cox feels very much aggrieved at the treatment he has received. The other boys, so far as ascertained, who were burned were much in tho same coudit'ou as on the previous day N. Y. llvratd.

A Shocking Kxhlbltton of Parental Cruelty-l.lttle Girl Beaten to Death by her Father. The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday comes to us with the story ol another child-whipping Cise, the whit ping proving iatal. It savs: "luteilleeuce was on Buuday afternoon con veed to the Police Station to the etieet tha'. a little girl of ten years, named Louisa Barkhaus, adaughterof William Barnbau, bad died very suddenly that morning, and was then lying at the house No. 20s Morean street, on the corner of Fourth street. The Coroner at once pro ceeded to the locality. He found living in the house a Norwegian lamily, who, in answer to his inquiries, said that the body of the dead child was lying In a bed-room on the ground floor, which, with a iront room, they had sub rented to liarkhaos; that the lather and mother ot the girl had gone away early that morning together. He and the Coroner went Into the Urn of the two rooms. Leading back from this was a small roomso small that the bed which btood within lclt scarce space enough lor the opening ol the door. The ticking bad been lolded up near the head of tne bed, and resting with the bead and body upon it, lying diaso nally acrovs the bed, on Its lace, lay the corpse of the oead child, in its night clothe". The dress being bared down Irom the shoulder, re vealed a sight which mleht well cause the stout est heart to shudder with ill-suppressed horror. The bark was one mass of bloody weltt and dis colored bruises, while the garments were stained with the blood which had been extravasated, and lay thick and clotty upon the surface of the fkin. Turning the body upon its back, tne spectnele which met the gaze was yet more oreatlful. The neck bore plainly marks as if a violent hand had clutched it fast, causing the blood to collect In blue and Lurnle coots, as under the prints of man's tineeis. The breast wis discolored by uce j same welts of gore which marked the back, aaS , the abdomen was streaked with blue and pur ple, such as blows from a rawhide cause. The expression ol the face of the dead child was such as to indicate that she bad died in all tne agony of a death paiuiul aud violent in the ex Uenie. The balf-open eyes were jet staring, not with vacancy, but full 01 the expression of wild terror and the direst aeony. From the face all color had vanished. The parents were gone no one knew where. Before they had lett, how ever, and guided, perhaps, by the thought thtt no inquiry" would be instituted as to tne death of the child, a coffin had been procured and now lay open and ready to . receive the dead, in the outer room. A beginning had also been made to prepare the corpse for burial; for fastened about the neck was a cteau robe, ptrangely contrasting in its snowy purity with the blood-stained and gore-clotted garments which lay beneath it. The name of the party who rented these apartments to Bark haus and his wife is Peterson. They said that Barkhaus and his wife were Hollanders, who had come to this country last summer, and whose knowledge of English was as yet very detective. Barkhaus Is a carpenter, and the child was bis only daughter. The child had seemed to them to be very quiet and inoffen sive, and, withal, very bright. Yet lor all this, Barkhaus, whom they represented to be a man of ery strong passions, frequently beat bis child so severely that often her cries were beard in the street. On Saturday morning, Mrs. Peterson said, Barkhaus was heard whipping the girl. It was nine o'clock. The door of her room was open, leading into a hall, from which a door led into t he room of the Barkhaus family, he could hear very readily the Found of the blows, the angry voice of the father, occa sionally joined by words from the mother, and above all the sobbing of the child. Sbe says that the beating distressed her exceedingly. The child seemed to be in great agony, and the lather, from his voice, to be in a whirlwind of rage. Sne sas the beating continued almost uninterruptedly for nearly an hour, as it seemed to her. Finally, she was unable to endure it any further, and was on the point of going in to speak to the parents of the child, when she reflected that, as she knew not German, nor they her language or English, It would be use less. She put on her tnings to go out for inter ference, when the blows and loud talkiug ceased, and after a time the sobs ot the child, becoming fainter and faiuter, died away. The girl was seen no more that day by the Petersons, nor did they hear her voice. About 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, however, Mr. Peterson says that he was awoke and soon heard the voice of Barkhaus, the father, talking an grily to the child. Shortly alter he heard the other take the eirl into the front room. This was all. But about 7i o'clock that morning an acquaintance of the Barkhaus'came to Peterson and told him that the eirl was dead. On his return he learned that Barkhaus and his wile had leit the house. They returned this even ing, however, and sleDt ttiat night in the same room with the dead child. Yesterday morning they again weut away, leaving the preparations lor their daughter's burial partly completed. As soon as the Coroner had viewed the body he at once sent off for an officer, who, reaching the spot, was promptly detailed in search of Barkhaus. An hour's search sufficed to find him at the house ot a friend on Caroenter street. He was taken into custody and lodged In a cell iu the West Division Station Houbc . OBITUARY. George Wythe Randolph. By a lelegram from Richmond we learn of the death ot George Wythe Randolph, a grand son of Thomas Jefferson, and distinguished dur ing the late war as the Conlederate Secretary of War. The deceased was a native of Virginia, and received a military education at (we be lieve) the Virginia Military Institute. lie also studied law. and at the outbreak of the Rebel lion was pursuing his profession, and ranked among the ablest speakers and debaters at the bar of the old Common wealth. Being an ardent supporter of the teoesston movement, hostilities had scarcely been inaugurated beiore he raised a company of artillery, serving with distinction and being rapidly promoted to the rank of Brigadier Oenetal. In 1802, upon the reorganization of the CoLfederate Cabinet, General Randolph was offered and accepted the position of Secretary of War. He entered upon his duties with vigor and determination, and under his skilful almin istration the Confederate army, which had been rapidly becoming demoralized, soon re covered its efficiency, and was enabled to force McClellan from his position in front of Rich mond. The long train of victories which attended the Rebel arms during 18G2 may be attributed principally to the great administrative powers of General Randolph. He was too in dependent, however, to satisfy Jefferson Davis, and a quarrel between the two resulted in his tendering his resignation, which was accepted, and Mr. Seddou appointed to fill the vacancy. From the day General handolph resigned the dowufail of the Confederacy commenced, and it is doubtful if a reinforcement of one hundred thousand men would have done the Union cause as much cood as did his retirement. For several years past the deceased had been afflicted with a severe bronchial affection, which threatened atone time during the war to carry him off. 1 ersonally General Randolph was an excellent man, and those who knew him speak in high ttriumoi me purity of his private character.

On Lhe nluhtnt the following day he went to the same store, broke the window, entered nnd ran away with several pairs of boots. The pair he had tried ou the day before were missed, and were found upon the prisoner when ho was arrested. The boots were alleged to have been stolen three weeks before the arrest. The defense alleged that there was a mistake as to the idei.tlty of tiie prisoner: and, also, that the boots t lie prosecutor claimed as his, l.aughlln had bad long peiore tne larceny is sum 10 nave Deen committed UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COTJRT-Judge Cad walader.

This Is au action to recover the amount or an Insurance policy upon a threc-siory house aud Its lurnilure at Franklin, Venango county, Pa. The building was Insured at (.louo. and the furniture at Jiiko, and the policy took risk from October , Uto. to October 9, lMHi. The loss of the building and furniture took place on the 1st of February, lhiiS, aud the damage said lo have been sustained amounted to upwards of iff.oOO. The Insurance then fell due on the 18th ot May following. Hue notice of the loss was given to the defendant's agent at the Franklin, through whom the insurance was effected, and by him sent to the Company: and this agent testified that the President of the Company came to Franklin with his blanks a few weeks after the notice had been cent to the Company, going to show that the notice of Iocs had been received in due time by de fendants, which the defense deny. The amount claimed by the plaintiff is tXH), the amount of tne policy and the interest thereon, from May 18, 1M6, when the Insurance fell due. The defense was; The plaintiff falsely stated that be was the owner of the premises when be ap plied for iDsuratice; and there was a mortguge oi $1000 upon the property. The building, iustead of being worth J.iOOO, as iui-ured, If. not worth more than t&Kiu; the plaintiff owned nothing outaback building which he erected upon the lot. aud had no iusurable interest in the premises before he leaed them. 8. The plaintiff did not give notice of his loss until fifteen days tnerenfier. whereas the policy required Immediate written notice. This neglect Is tberelore fatal to recoverv under the terms of the policy. 4. The plaintiff Insured the building as a hotel, but t:sed it as a disreputable house, which increased the risk, and he never nave defendants notice t hereof.

The Cincinnati Gvutte, April 2, say: "Money continues to work close, and the demand for loans, although moderate, is In excess of the sup ply of capital. Money continues to go into Govern ment securities, preparatory to the tax returns, aud until 'this movement la completed the market must continue close. The uatloual bank! are lbronu with their statements. They are all on the safe side, so far as regards reervs, and show good proltis tot stock holders. Deposits, as had been foreshadowed, are low. Most of the banks are carrying a large amount of their means in Government securities, thus keeplug firm grip upon an element of strength.
