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.

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.

my own housework and taking care , fmy baby. In lst,
j we came to Dayeupor', an J i ruugfit the machine with
. us. 1 believe it is the first Machine ever bro-'ght to lowa.
I run that Machine almost constantly for more than
{ fourteen years, on a!! sorts ol work, from the liuest dress
| making to the heaviest tailoring. I quilted a lull sized
white bed-spread with it which has been exhibited three
times at the Fair, it took me three weeks to do it with
I my other work, but it could not have been dune bv band
. i in as many year 1 have even stitched leather with it.
and at the time I exchanged it, (iu 1665) for No. 103,320
| it worked just well us when made.
It is perhaps unnecessary for mc to add that I believe
the Wheeler A Wilson to be vastly superior to any other
' machine made.
