JStadfowl Hqiortcr. Towanda, Thursday, April 19,1866, GENERAL, ROBERT E. LEE BEFORE TIIE COMMITTEE ON RECONSTRUCTION. It is well known that General Lee was recently examined before the Re-construc tion Committee of Congress, and if those people who have heretofore regarded this rebel chieftain as the personification of open, candid manliness, as far above subterfuge, evasion.deceit anil craftiness,as lie is above j the other rebel generals in supposed ability, ; could have beard bis testimony, they would have agreed, with one accord, that if Lee-j was such a man, he has fallen from a very j high to a very low estate. For more weak evasions anil silly pretexts*were never re sorted to by a one-sided witness, who al ways had a poor memory for one side, anil a good one for the other. He was subject ed to a searching examination, aud nothing , but persevering scrutiny, and the skillful varying and shaping of questions brought i out the little truth of importance that was admitted by the witness. We never had any confidence in this arch-! traitor. The reputation the copperheads have given him is drawn from borrowed lustre. Lee is really a scion of old Virgin ia chivalry, his father having distinguished himself as Col. of Cavalry under Washing ton, in the War of the Revolution ; and it is with the father's noble antecedents, that the simple worshipers of this degenerate son, clothe their idol. He satisfied the mem hers of the Committee on Re-construction, and all others who heard his testimony, that he has not only degenerated sadly in principle, in stern integrity and lofty bear- j iug, but has sunken in intellect as well. It | was hoped that through him a fair and j thorough view of the social and political j condition of the South would be obtained, I and tbat the great influence he has, not withstanding the enormity of bis crime in drawing his sword against bis country, would be given to effect a lasting reconcile j ation between the North and the South ; but it would seem that for the one he lacks the requisite ability, ami for the other the \ disposition. The Southern people, says Gen. Lee, re gard their cause as lost, and although con tent to abide by the arbitrament to which they appealed, they cherish no kindly feel ing toward the Union, and are now engag ed mainly in making the best of their con dition He asserts that they approve of President Johnson's policy, and "look for ward to it as a hope of restoration but it is Jjossible, he says, tbat in the event of a foreign war, they might side with the ene mies of the country, though they contem plate nothing of the kind now. lie also says " it is eery possible they might" secede again if a second Buchanan should afford them an opportunity. This is a very frank, but not a very creditable confession to come from the lips of the late rebel chief tain. But Gen. Lee's testimony was chiefly re markable for what it didn't reveal. When ' closely pressed, bis ready answer was that ; he "didn't remember," or he "didn't know." j Thus he positively affirms that he never knew that any cruelty was practiced upon Union prisoners, or that they were dying ; in Southern prison-pens of cold and starva | tion. If this be a true answer, Gen. Lee : must have been ignorant of what every body else in the country knew perfectly ' well ; but lie afterwards states that be did ; everything in his power to "relieve" the prisoners, aud urged the establishment of ! the cartel 011 the basis of which a partial exchange was effected. It seems, then, he teas cognizant of some suffering among the prisoners ; and as he could not have been ! unaware of the charges made, month after ' month, in Northern papers, and constantly referred to in those of the South, it was his j duty, as commander in-chief of the chief j army of the Confederacy, to make himself acquainted with the truth or falsity of those charges. That he suffered these things to | pass uyheeded is little to his credit as a j soldier and a man. There is the same sin gular want of frankness in most of his state meats respecting Southern feeling ; and 011 this account they should be received with | many grains of allowance. But with regard to the negro, his niem ; ory and his knowledge were never at fault. Gen. Lee says that personally he has al ways been in favor of gradual emancipa tion ; yet he is quite sure that the two races can never live together in peace, and j that Virginia would be better off if she rid herself of her negro population ; and he would 111 any ease prefer white to black la borers. In regard to colored suffrage, he says Virginia would prefer a smaller rep resentation in Congress, rather than put ballots in the hands of the blacks. Were the right to vote now to be given to the blacks by law, it "would excite unfriendly j feelings between the two races." It is as- ! touishing that a gentleman who knows so little about popular sentiment in the South with regard to the Union, and so little about the treatment of Union prisoners of war during the continuance of hostilities, should ! be so intimately acquainted with Southern feeling toward the negro. One would sup pose that his opportunities to collect infor- : mation on one subject would have sulficed to made him acquainted in the others ; and we cannot avoid the suspicion that his opinions were based 011 inference rather j than on personal knowledge. However this may be, we cannot but feel that Gen. Lee has lowered himself in the , estimation of the people of the Northern States. Since the cessation of hostilities he has remained quiet, and has done noth-. ing to excite agitation at the South ; but besides this rue rely negative virtue stands the fact the has done nothing to advance the reconciliation of the country. Not a word has he uttered, since his army laid down their arms, to induce Southern men ; to regard the Union UH their country, to work for its restoration to a perfect peace,; or to aeccp' cheerfully the existing state of affairs, lh- remains in sullen silence, and is willing to let things work out their own course, either in piece or to another war. It had been far more to his credit had lie followed the example of Mr. Stephens, in urging on his countrymen the necessity and patriotism of giving up old prejudices, and becoming sincere and faithful Union men. DEATI? OF DANIEL S. DICKINSON. We regret t6 record the death of DANIEI. STEVENS Dirtcixsox, who died at the resi dence of his son-in-law, in New York city, at half-past eight o'clock on Thursday even ing of strangulated hernia. He was born in Goshen, Connecticut, on the 11th of Sep tember, LSOO, but was educated in Chenan go county, New York. In 1821 he became a teacher, employing his vacations in land surveying. In 1822 he married, and com menced the study of law. 111 1828 he com menced practice at Guilford. In 1831 he removed to Binghamton. In 1830 he was chosen State Senator. In 1840 the Demo cratic party nominated him for Lieutenant Governor, but he was defeated. In 1842, however, he was elected, 111 1844 he be came a member ol the convention which nominated JAMES K. FOLK for President.— In the same year he became United States Senator, holding the post of Chairman of Finance Committee. As Democratic candi date before the convention for the Presi dency, he received in 1852 the vote of Vir ginia. Retiring from political life, ho re sumed his profession. In 1801 lie threw all his influence on the side of the Union. His illness was sudden and short. It was only last Saturday that he was taken ill, and only last Thursday that he was regarded dangerously so. His family consists of a wife and two daughters. The announcement of the death of Mr. DICKINSON was received at Binghamton, by his neighbors and friends, with the mani festations of the deepest sorrow. The bells were tolled and places of business closed. His remains were brought to tbat place on Saturday, and the funeral took place on Sunday, attended by an immense concourse of citizens, and mourning friends. He was universally respected and beloved by the people of the village where he lias lived for many years. FOREIGN NEWS. —TheSaxonia, from South ampton, April 4, arived at New York, Sun day, bringing one day's later news. The Austrian Embassador at Berlin, in a note to Count Bismark, dated March 31, strongly protested against the imputation made to Austria of entertaining hostile in tentions. He at the same time energetic ally requested an explanation relative to the military preparations of Prussia. Both Austria and Prussia are pursuing their preparations with great activity. \\ ar is still believed to be inevitable. It is report ed that the attempt of Count Bismark to i to win over the Middle States to the side of \ Prussia has entirely failed. The Duke of j Coburg has arrived in Vienna ; but the re port that lie would attempt a mediation was not credited. The Queen of England has written a let ter to Mr. Peabody, thanking hirn for his munificent gift for the London poor. She asks him to accept a miniature portrait of herself, which she will desire to have ; painted for him. i A great battle is reported to have been fought in China between the Imperialists i and the rebels, in which the latter are said to have suffered a crushing defeat. TERRIBLE MURDER. —A most horrible min der lias been discovered in the First Ward, Philadelphia. A whole family, of eight j persons. The victims of the murderer are I Christopher Deering, aged thirty-eight years ; Julia, his wife, aged thirty-six ■ years ; John Dueling, son, eight years ; i Thomas Deering, live years ; Annie Deer ing, four years ; Emma Deering, fourteen j months ; Miss Keating, aged forty-six years. A lad, aged fourteen years, who lived with the family and worked upon the i farm is rnisjing. It is supposed that lie ! was killed and his body thrown into a deep I well, which will be thoroughly searched this morning. They were all killed with an axe and thrown into a heap in the barn ; aud covered over with hay. Several days ' had elapsed before the discovery, and the horses and cattle on the premises were | starving. The bound boy was subsequent ly found hid in a hay-stack. The murderer is supposed to be a German who had work ed on the place for a short time. Among the mass of testimony sub mitted from the Committee on Reconstruc tion is that of Hon. ALEX. 11. STEITIENS. He thinks that an overwhelming majority of the people of Georgia are exceedingly anx ious for the restoration of the Government, and for the State to take Iter former posi tion in the Union and crjoy all her rights, and adjust ail her obligations as a State, under the Constitu ion of the United States as it stands amended. His opinion is, and the sentiment of the people of Georgia is that the exercise of the right of secession was resorted to from a desire to render their liberties and institutions more secure and from a belief on their part that this was was absolutely necessary for that ob ject. He thinks that the people are per fectly satisfied with the experiment, and that they will never resort to that measure of redress again. He believes that the only hope for their liberties now is the re storation of the Constitution of the United states, anil of the Government under the ! Constitution. A dispatch received from our Con sul at Halifax destroys the sauguiuge hopes excited by previous accounts that j the alarming sickness on board the steam-) ship England was ship-fever, and not chol era. A consultation of physicians confirms the first rumors, and the disease is pro- j uounced Asiatic cholera. Not a single j case of sickness has occurred among the cabin passengers. It is proposed by the State author ities to procure a full history of the ser vices rendered by Pennsylvania regiments in the war to crush a slaveholders' rebel lion, and as an interesting portion of that history, it has been suggested by Gov. Cur tin that the State Librarian collect photo graphs of all oflicers of BUCII regiments, to be deposited in the State Library, in such a form as to be easily referred to and ex amined. In accordance with this proposi tion, the State Librarian now requests all such oflicers to send well executed photo graphs of themselves,addressed to the State Library, and, where the officer has perish ed,that the friends of the gallant dead send such photographs. Each card to be care-1 fully inscribed beneath the photograph with the name, rank, company and regi ment in which the officer served. PROCEEDINGS Or CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Thursday, April 12, 1860.

The Secretary adds that the | Department of State has reason to believe . that there are not now any good grounds for apprehending a collision or the ernploy | ment of force. The President has also j called the attention of the British Govcrit | ment to the question whether negotiation |or legislation cannot be advantageously employed in adjusting the difference- which ! have heretofore existed. Mr. W ashhurue, I ol Illinois, offered a resolution instructing | the Committee on Commerce to inquire in to and report to this House what legisla tion is necessary to prevent the introduc tion of cholera into the purls ol ihe United States ; which was agreed to., The House bill to reorganize and establish tiie araiv lof the 'United States, reported by Mr. j Schenck, from the Committee on Military Affairs, was taken up and considered by sections.

INTERNAL REVENUE DECISION, The Commisioner of Internal Revenue has addressed the following letter, contain | ing an important decision, to the assessor • of the sixth Indiana collection district: Sik : The first internal-revenue act took ; effect, as far as related to stamp duties, ! October 1, 1862. Instruments executed and delivered prior to that date, though they may be recorded afterwards, are not ! chargeable with stamp duties. If any instrument subject to stamp duty j was issued after October 1, 1862, and prior j to August 1,1864, unstamped, or insufii-1 : cicutly stamped, the appropriate stamp 1 must be affixed in the presence of the court, j register or recorder, as provided by sec tion 153 of the act of June 30, 1864. An instrument issued since August 1, , lsij-i, unstamped, or insufficiently stamped, may be stamped by the collector upon pay ment for the proper stamp, and of a penal ty of fifty dollars ; and where the amount of the stamp duty exceeds fifty dollars, on | : payment also of interest on said duty at the rate of six per cent, from the day on which the same should have been affixed. If the instrument is presented to the col-1 lector within twelve calendar months from its issue the collector is authorized to re- j rnit the penalty, provided it shall appear to his satisfaction that the omission to stamp ii was by reason of accident, mistake, in- 1 advertance, or urgent necessity, and with-! out wilful design to evade or delay the ; payment of stamp duty. If the instrument is not presented within | twelve calendar months, the penalty and interest must be paid to the collector be fore he can render it valid by affixing the ! appropriate stamp, without regard to the cause of the omission to stamp it at the j time of its issue. The commissi -tier has 1 no power to remit this penalty. Deputy collectors, unless acting as col- j lectors under section 31), have no authority to affix stamps or remit penalties under section 158. The stamp to be affixed to any instru ment is that required by the law existing at the time when the instrument was made, signed and issued. When an instrument is properly stamped under either of said sections, the stamping relates back to the time when the instru ment was issued, and renders it from the | beginning as valid to all intents and pur poses as if it had been duly stamped when made, signed and issued. The whole amount of penalties paid to collectors for validating unstamped instru ments should be returned on form 58, with other uuassessed penalties, and the money deposited to the credit of the treasury of the United States with other collections.
