Lee, who command ed-the forces of the Confederates, visited President Grant at the White House Ea turday forenoon. Ho was accorded a strictly private audience of an hour's du ration. The office-seekers, who filled the ante-chambers, were mortified and dis gusted it the temporary adjournment of a consideration of their clamorous appeals for place and indulged in manifold conject ures as to the cause of the meeting of the two distinguished officers. Perhaps it ivas for the' purpose of ?onsultation as to the: adoption of some, new strateic plan by the use of which the Presidentwill be freed from their importunities: SAID GEN. W. B. STOKES ; in his late great speech at Nashville : "Now I'll tell you what's a fact, there isn't a man or a party that Johnion hasn't deceived. If there is a man in this crowd who can say that Andrew Johnson never deceived him I should like to sea him step forth. He has been a popular man in his day, for he has been with and deceived all parties in turn. He is full of deceit and dem agogism. He is like the old sow. Yon might take her up, but put hetin a bathtub and scrub her perfectly clean, turn her out, and she would run five miles in a hot summer day in August, through clear water, to reach het WalloWing place in an old peach or chard. That's Johnson., He has got back into the old peach orchard again ; yes, in the heart of that old defunct Democracy." Row Greeley Took It. A :New York correspondent describes the effect of the expose of Young's double management on Horace Greeley thus: " Greeley was completely nonplussed. He blevi his nose pensively on the tail of his white coat—forle does wear a white coat in 'lciii-Siinntitmand his moonlike face 'settled into an expression of imbecile as tonishment. The old man loved the young Op.; 'He.used to 'purr' around the youth, as theyouth himself affectionately express. ed it, and I have no doubt the managing editor-knew how to make him purr, for be pOilesseifinfLoita tact, and is perfect ufas ter,Of the smaller graces which take so well.

In honor of the completion of the road, it is of polished California laurel, silver mounted, and has a gold spike. ON a Kentucky railroad recently, while a train was passing through a tunnel, a young man attempted to kiss a girl who sat in front of him, when she seized his hand and bit out a large piece. When the cars emerged, the young man, wrapping his bleeding hand explained to inquiring. friends how the " window fell on it." A. Dead Beat. Clash. A.

Re is safe as he would be in New York, New England, or in Pennsyvania, but he can not obtain, entrance into the first families, unless indeed he announces his determination to support the exploded and baleful theories that produced and en couraged the rebellion." Large Decrease of the Public Debt. The official statement of the condition of the public debt on the last:day of April, issued Saturday in Washington affords gratifying assurance of the advance which has beep made towards its ultimate extinc tion during the past month, as well as of the vast financial resources of the coun try. The exhibit shows that the debt de creasedl6,3oo,ooo during the thirty days just closed, that the amount of coin in the Treasury was $92,000,000, the coin certifi cates amounted to $16,000,000 and the currency to $7,000,000. A sum of 3,206,796 was paid as interest in advance while the debt bearing coin interest foot ed up $2,107,873,700, mid the debt Lear ing currency interest $67,240,000. ',lathier, the Spirit Photographer The prosecution of Mumler, the "spirit" photographer, of New York, has been abandoned, Judge Dowling deciding that there was no ground of action against him. As Mulmer was arrested on the charge that while pretending to take the -photo graphs sd spirits, he really did not take them, but practiced i gaud•upon those who bought his spiiit7i:lictures, this deci sion is viz-Pall..T , triumph for Spiritual ' ism. The' Courts'nflaw havo decided that its pretentious cannot be proved false, that spiritual photographs may be taken, that no humbug can be detected in the process. We expect to see quite a spiritual revival follow this curious decision of this curious case. It has not only placed Spiritualism on a legal foundation, but it has most ex tensively and gratuitously advertised it. Mumler's business will be increased ten fold on account of this legal endorsement, and the spirit photograph business will extend suddenly and vastly in every direc tion. Like planchette and the velocipede however, its very extension and common ness will kill it. Tin shower bath . punishment in the New York prisons is the one most dreaded by the convict. Ile is placed on a seat, his neck put in a sort of a yoke, his arms stretched to the right and left, when the keeper pulls a cord, and a large body of water continues to fall upon his head until the keeper lets go of the cord. It is claim ed the water is shut off as soon as the con vict will promise amends. Sometimes such a promise is extorted'at once; some times not, but compliance comes sooner or later. The power to bear up under the infliction differs in different individuals. One man will suffer terribly from a few gallons of water, and others will take bar rels and suffer less. One prison has a tradition of a negro who could endure sev eral hogsheads without wincing. It is said that all negroes are effected by it less than any other class, the water falling on their heads a long time ns harmless as pattering rain' on a duck's back. Ordinary mortals 'however connot bear up under it, and those frequently subjected to it are always permanently injured. In some constitu tions it induces congestion of the brain and lungs, immediate strangulation, &o. Sumner's Speech in England. The English comments on Sumner's speechare at hand_ ..As we expeeted_they are not very favorable to that effort, and in all the London papers from John Bright's organ to the Thunderer, surprise seems to struggle with indignation at the enormity of• our Senator's demands. We cannot wonder at this. When we make a claim against a foreign nation for two or three thousand million dollars as Mr. Sumner and those who think with him have vir tually done, we scarcely wonder that our creditor should be somewhat astonished, and when, in addition, it is required that the creditor nation should humiliate itself before us, it is as little to be wondered as 'if 'it should express indignation. The Liberal party of England which has always stood by us, feels hurt at the apparent ex travagance of Mr. Sumner's claims, while thd Tory party is almost ready for war. Nevertheless we do not believe there will .be war, at least soon.. Mr. Motley goes out to England without instructions. That is, he, will make no demands, but will wait for England to make the next ad vances. But this ; England, unless we mistake her temper will not do. The question will then be an open one, and may be left open an indefinite length of time without involving the two countries in a war. It will not involve them unless one of the two 'want to go to war. _Eng land certainly does not, at present, and, despite some surface indications to the contrary, we do not believe the American people wish to plunge into such an nonce cessary war as this one would be. Last Tie. A. Great Fall in Whisky. During the afternoon of Priday,last week, the residents of South Pittsburg were aston ished by a terrific crash which shook the buildings in the vicinity of the railroad bridge, and led the people to suppose that they bad suffered a light shock of an earth quake. The alarm was caused by the giving-way of a portion of the fifth floor of Joseph S. Finch Ltt Co.'s bonded warehouse on Chest nut street,South Pittsburg, and the precipi tation of about three thousand barrels of whisky fron the fifth story to the ground. In the afternoon the superintendent of the distillery was in the bounded warehouse, and noticed that one of the steam pipes by which the boiler was heated was leaking. He called the attention of one of the work men to the matter, and said that he would go down town and' procure some material necessary to repair it. The men employed about the building, five in number, thought they would assist in the matter, and visited the fifth story. Soon after, a slight crack ing noise was heard to proceed from the floor, and the men all fled in alarm, fearing that the building would fall. They all beat a hasty retreat down the four flights of stairs and left the building in double quick time. They were not a moment too soon, for just after they had left the upper floor gave way, and three thousand of the five thousand barrels of whisky stored in the fifth story were precipitated with a terrible crash to the ground floor, carrying with them the floors of the fourth, third and second stories. The barrels of whisky roll ed and tumbled on one another, and made a terrible noise, but fortunately doing no serious damage. It is estimated that about fifty barrels were destroyed, and the loss of the liquor and the damage to the building wlll per haps reach $lO,OOO. Some curious incidents are related con cerning the accident. It is stated that soon after the fan, and as soon as it became cir culated about the borough that fifty barrels of whisky were running away in conse quence of the accident, the intemperately disposed people of the borough repaired in large numbers to the warehouse and made desperate efforts to save the whisky, many of them getting in a highly intoxicated con dition in consequence. Death of U. S. Marshal Ely. Gen. Ely, U. S. Marshal of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, died suddenly at 11 o'clock, on Tuesday evening, at his res idence, No. 727 Pine street, Philadelphia. Deceased.had been in unusual good health of late. He accompanied some friends to an ice cream saloon in the neighborhood of his home, and soon after returning he started to go up stairs. His niece, a young lady, who was on the steps, playfully remarked to the General that he could not step up as nanny steps as she could. lie accepted the challenge, and immediately after he had made the step he complained of feeling a smothering sensa tion, and died directly afterwards. It is supposed that iu his efforts he rup tured a blood vessel, which caused the un fortunate result. General Ely was a native of Bucks county and was 55 years of age. He entered the service of the United States, September 2, 1861, as Major of the Twenty-third Regi ment, I'. V., (Birney's Zouaves). On July 20, 1862, ho was made Lieutenant-Colonel, and December 13, 1862, Colonel of the same regiment. He served with great credit in the various battles in which his regiment participated, and at Fair Oaks, May 31, 1862, he was severely wounded, losing a log. . His life was one of spotless integrity. He w s appointed U. S. Marshal of the E ( ustern D I strict of _Pensylvania, over all ppliticul li ids, on account °This unblemished. repu tation as a citizen and gallant service as a soldier. His duties devolve, by law, upon his newly-appointed Chief Deputy, A. P. Schurz, of Bucks county.. Suicide of as School Boy—Peculiar Case. Cu our telegraphic summary news a few days since we announced the suicide of a school-boy in North Andover. We have since learned the following particulars : A boy named Frank Cheney had some dif ficulty with his school teacher at North Andover, and left the school house, going to his home. His father, Mr. A. P. Cheney, a well-known merchant, told him he had bet ter go to school, beg the teacher's pardon, and resume his studies. The boy mani fested. a reluctance to do so, when his father insisted that he should. The boy then went up stairs to his room, and loading two pis ' tols, which appear to have been his prOper ty, discharged the contents of one into his head and the other into his heart simulta neously. He died instantly, and when found by his relatives, who hastened to his room on hearing the report of the pistols, his body was found in lying a pool of blood. It is supposed that he preferred to die rather than apologize to his teacher. He was a bright, intelligent, and good-natured boy, and his sudden death has caused most profound sorrow in the community, and especially among his young companions. Payment of Soldiers' Claims and Bounties. The Second comptroller has given instruc tion under the late Bounty law that here after in paying soldiers' claims two checks shall be given ; one to the agent or attorney for the fee allowed by law, and the other sent direct to the soldier for the remainder due. The fees allowed in claims of white soldiers are ten per cent. when the amount due is under $2OO, and five per cent. on any addi tional amount less than $BOO, and $5O on claims in excess of $BOO. In colored cases the fees are $5, $7 50 and $lO, according as the amount due is less than $5O, between $5O and $lOO, or over $lOO. In the colored cases, but not in the white ones, advances and notarial• expenses are included in the amount paid to the agent. The Contrields. The miners of the Anthracite coal regions have resolved to•lay down - their picks and shovels and give the bowels of mother earth in that direction a season of rest; or, in other words, they' have completed a con tract between themselves spanning from the far end of the reins of black diamond iri Schuylkill county to the other end in Lu zerne, and resolved that "all• coal opera tions shall cease on Monday, May 10th, and the suspension continue until further or ders. In the meantime timbering and re pairing may go on, but, under no circum stances shall any coal be cut." LOok out for a rise in the price of coal. Is Virginity the crop prospects are very favorable. The season is not so forward as in the more Southern'States; but the farm ers and land owners are generally alert and active.

Something in reference to the country through which I passed since :Cleft Lexing ton, may well please you. I will describe it as well as the limited sphere of observa tion from the car windcm , will permit. After you leave Lexington the "country is good, thought rough generally, - and 'fine herds of cattle and sheep can be seen along the road for many miles. As you approach Louisville the land is better. To take the State of Kentucky throughout, to judge by that portion through which we passed, it is a line State. WO passed through Frankfort, the capi tal, but I do not consider Oman amounts to a very great deal, for it is surrounded by hills, and apparently a very. poor country. The city of Louisville is all old-fashioned town—very many of the houses are old and dilapidated, bat some very handsome ones are found on Broad and other streets. The Galt House takes down all the hotels I ever saw; the Fifth Avenue Hotel, N. Y. or the Continental, of Philitd'a, are no touch to it. It is said to have cost over one million of dollars; everything about it is gotten up in the best style. T hey are now constructing a very fine railroad bridge across the Ohio river, the es timated cost of which will be nearly three _millions. We leave hero for Nashville this evening, and expect to be in Mobile by Monday or Tuesday. Literary Notices.

A GREAT REMEDY FOR TEIE CURE : OF THROAT AND LUNG DISEASES. - DR. WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL. It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained by a wailer process in the distillation of the tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from tho Juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. • It an engthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air•pnssoges of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon tho irritated sur face of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each disen , ed part, relieving' pain and subduing inflam mation. It is the result of years of study and experiment. And it is offered to the afflicted with the positive as surance of Its power to cure the following diseases, if the 'sal lent has not too long delayed a resort to the meats of cure:— Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat nod Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, td hooping Cough, Dipthe , de., &e. We are often asked why are not other remedies in the market for Consumption, Coughs, Colds, and other Pulmonary affections, equal to Dr. L, Q. Wis. hart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial. We answer: Ist. It cares, not by stopping cough, but by loosen ing and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected about the throat and bronchial tubes, causing irritation and cough. 2d. Most throat and lung remedies are composed of anodynos, which allays the cough for awhile, but by their constringirg effects, the fibres become,har dened, and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and are retained in the system, causing disease beyond the control of our most eminent physicians. 3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants, arc preferable, because they remove the cause of Irritation of the mucous membrane and bronchial tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw off the un healthy secretions, and purify the blond, thus scien tifically making the cure perfect. Dr. 'Vishart has on file nt his office hundreds and thousands of certificates from men and women of unquestionable character who were once hopeless ly given up to die, but through the Providence of God were completely restored to health by the Pine Tree Tar Cordial.

Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. They are all three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver, and put it to work; then the appetite becomes good; the food digests and makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis eased matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is she only way to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pal monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the tunes, nature throws it off by nn easy . expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter iv ripe, a slight cough will throw it oil, and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To do this, the Seaweed Tonle and Mandrake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. so that the Pulinonie Syrup and the food will make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills net upon the liver, re moving all obstructions. relax the ducts of the gn'l bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been Invented except calomel (a deadly poison which is very dangerous to use ex cept with great care), that will unlock n gall-bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenek's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alteratiT.?,and the alkali in the Sege eed, which this prescr ption is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. The great reason why physicians do not cure con sumption is, they try to do too much: they gist medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de. range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se cretions, and eventually the patient stoics and dies. Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the causo, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one can be cured of Coin umption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Cauirrli, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un less the liver and stomach are made healthy. if a person nas consumption, of course the lungs arc in some way diseaseilmither tubercles, abscesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs are it tunes of mlitumnation and fast decaying. in such cases what must be done? It is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost their power to make blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want food, it will digest easily and inake good blood; then the patient begins to gam in flesh, and as soon ns the body begins to grow,the lungs commence to heal up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to cure consumption. When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills aro sulllcient without the Put manic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless. Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health for many years past, and now neighs 2.35 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced Ills case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate. He nits cured by ,the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr. Schenek's prepaarr tions with the same remarkable success.

Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were aggravated by the scrofulous contam ination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in such great num bers in almost every section of *the country that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poiso....is one of the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and Invites the attack of en feebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals.

Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sar saparilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this Sarsaparilla: St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Er3-slpelas fetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,S t ore Eyes; Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous dis ease.
