Louis county, Mo. Over COO persons arrived at St. Joseph, last, week from the gold mines ot Montana and Idaho, all of whom seemed to have plenty of dust. It seems that the Gen. DuffGreen, whose obituary appeared in the papers, is not the veteran politician as supposed, but another man.

It is officially ascertained, from the rolls in possession of the Goverment. that Gen. Lee's army when it surrendered, contained 28,000 men, and Gen. Johnston's 37.000. A Washington correspondent announces that the President will issue a proclamation declaring the restoration of peace before the meeting of Congress.

The Engli are arresting Irishmen f.jr singing what they call "seditious songs" in Dublin. These authorities seem disposed to have a rebellion whether the Irish wish it or not. A woman Mid in a police court the other day, that before marriage her husband pretended to be much struck with her, but now she was every day struck by him. "Op what use are forms?" exclaimed a petulant legislator to I)r, Franklin; "yon cannot deny that they are often mere empty thing!" "Well my friend, and so are barrels, but nevertheless they have their uses," (juietly replied the doctor. Mr.

A. Pardee, of ITazleton, in addition to 20,000 already contributed to the endowment of Lafayette College, has offered $100,000 for the establishment of a scientific department. In Scotland a minister "refused the sacrament to a printer who was engaged during a part of Sunday night in producing a paper which the minister confessed that he read with pleasure every Monday morning!" There is a new phase of rascality among the Philadelphia thieves. It is called consists in sevcrin? bv means of a very sharp knife, "waterfalls" from the heads of ladies when jostling through crowds. As these waterfalls are often costly, "scalping" pays the unfeeling savages.

Even the Uoston Courier is disuted with Copperhead ism. It has become neutral in politics. The ('mirier during the war was one of the bitterest Copperhead papers published in the North. The late elections have determined its course for the future. Gen.

Robert K. Lee recently forwarded The Kebel cruiser Shenandoah, which, notwithstanding the close of the American war, had been committing great ravages upon shipping chiefly in the Northern seas and among whalers, arrived in the Mersey on the f.th, and surrendered to II. M. Donegal. Capt.

Waddell, the commander of the Shenandoah, states that the last vessel he spoke was the Barracouta, from Liverpool for San Francisco, from which be learned that the South was realy and truly defeated. On this, he at once stowed away his gunsand ammunition in the hold, and steered Liverpool, stopping at no other port. On arriving near the port he took a pilot on board and finding the news of the defeat of the Confederacy confirmed beyond all doubt, he dusired him to take the Shenandoah alongside a man of war, if there was one in the river. Tho ex cruiser was in consequence placed alongsido tha Donegal, and a crew from that vessel placed in charge of her, some customs officers also being in charge with them. Immediately after tha surrender.

Capt. Waddell, his officers and crew came on shore. As aha came up tha river, tha Shenandoah excited great attention. the sight of the Confederate ensign she carred being a novelty. At soon as the necessary formalities were concluded it was believed she would be handed over to the United States Government According to various reports, Capt Waddell was more than once told while cruising in the Pacific of the termination of the war, but as his informants were the crews of the Northern vessels he destroyed, ha refused to give credence to the statement.

The crew of the Shenandoah, it is said, suffered much from hunger, ad three are reported to have died from starvation I It worries the English Press exceedingly that the Shenandoah has made its appearance for rescue and protection in their waters. It it not to be wondered at that the British Press and Government should blush at at the return of this high. sea robber and murderer but they cannot disown it, tho child is one of John Bull's own.

E. Corner Sixth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia' Too Kxtkavaoant. In our opinion the pay of legislators at Ilarrisburgh as increased by themselves from 700 to $1000 for services rendered, is entirely too high. The AVcst Chester Record says that one thousand dollars for fifty two days service this year, with postage stamps thrown in aid libit im, is certainly a "leet'o" tea steep, especially as the pay in other States is only from $2 to i a day, for sessions running from fifty to one hundred and thirty days. We think with the Record, that the Republican members of the Legislature, should set an example by cutting down the unnecessarily high salaries.

Retrenchment should be the order of the day in every department of government We urge our exchanges to refsr to this extrav agance and frown it down. "Wirz, tho Andersonville jailer and murderer, was executed in Washington on the loth inst. He died "game," making no confession, and commending his family to tho care of the Southern people. Now for Jff. The people generally, think that ihe best interests of the nation require that he should be hung.

All the rebels deserve to ba hung, but as it would not do to hang them all, the Government will pardon them and hang the man without whom the Rebellion could not have been engineered into existence. In Philadelphia the dry goods trade is fairly active, but lower prices are accepted for most styles of gooJs. Domestics are tending downward, and some qualities are being retailed at 35c. per yard which were firm a short time back at 50c. wholesale.

The production of goods is steadily overtaking consumption and piicea are not stron' T. For the Gazette. November 13tb, 1S65. Mb. Editor As it is not comely for a lady to epeak in meeting, allow mo to say a few word3 through your columns.

On Monday evening the Secretary of the Excelsior Club was corrected for saying a eulogy. Goold Brown, who is universally acknowledged to be good authority in Etymology, says a is used before thetound of a consonant, an, before the sound of a vowel." Hence a unit, a eulogy a European an uncle, an umpire, an nnder standing. and eu in the first three examples have the sound of the consonant in you. I am glad to see a growing interest in the subject of language. Our "mother tongue" is a sacred trust which it behooves us all to keep pure.

May the Excelsior Club take the lead in this matter. May each member investigate for himself and as dat his neighbor to investigate till allBball know and speak the lauguage in its native strength and purity. REBECCA. Jeff Davis' neck should feel rather uneasy when he reflects that Wirz was tried, convicted and executed as his confederate in murdering thousands of Union prisoners. Justice will not be satisfied unless the chief murderer shares tho fate of bis miserable tool.

Then I tried coaxing.

"Come here, good fellow," sez I and I whistled a little to him; but it was no use. There he stood and kept up his eternal whinin' and barkin' all the night. I cou Idn't tell when daylight was breakin', only by the chickens crowin', and I was monstrous glad to hear 'cm for if I'd had to stay one hour more, I don't believe I'd ever got out of that bag alive.

The hands of the Gorernment will be strengthened by this resolute exhibition of confidence; but the support has been accorded evidently upon the tacit under standing that there bo no unreasonable concessions to the South no abandon ment of any of the legitimate results of the war.

They are looking to this end and more, they are organizing with a view to this remit. They do not propose to dissolve the Uuion by use of the sword and bayonet. They have tried this in a wicked war of four dreary years, and signally failed. Their purpose is to accomplish their infernal plans through Ihe ballot bos in Congress, and they look to the coppeahead Democracy and other northern traitors to aid them.

Thank Go 1, the recent elections at the north have blasted their hopes for the present, and taught them that the real people, the loyal masses of the great north, are all right. My liopes for the future are in the goodness, the obstinate loyalty and determined purpose of the Republican majority in Congress.

President Johnson's Opinion of the Copperheads. The appointment of Gen eral Kilpatrick to the important position of Minister Plenipotentiary to Chili may be regarded as indicating President Johnson's opinion of the copperheads. The gallant General won his millitary distinction and promotion by fighting the Southern rebels, and now the President of the United States honors him with a first class ambassadorial mission as a reward for thrashing the Northern copperheads.

This is a warning to all copperhead office holders and office seekers. In attempting to bag Andy Johnson they will find that they are altogether mistaken in their game, and, like the radical republicans, they will be left out in the cold, to make way for the steady and triumphant march of the new party of the people, the President's firm and honest backers.
