By means of photography an immense number of messages was inprinted lu micros? copic characters upon this small piece of paper, which iras divided Iqto four column?, the first containing the official verification of the docrv I ment, and the ottvr three containing dispatches % from the government at Tours. The paper was enclosed la a quill, and was fastened to thc tail of the pigeon. * -A.New York letter of Sunday says: "The news that the Germans ure before Havre created a marked sensation -here this morning, and the . immediate effect will probably bu the changing of the destination or the New York steamers to some other port exempt from the possibility of capture-say Brest, Bordeaux, La Rochelle or Marncd'es. It ls understood that : hese steamers have contraota to carry at least $250,t.oo worth of arms to Havre between now and t he first of Jana arv, bot unless th - Germans can be driven away, the agents arc expecting a notification io have them sent to some other place of de Ivery. Peo? ple who are familiar with the defences or Havre affirm that the place is Impregnable by sea; but as ibe Germans appear to be pUuulng t J take it in the rear (that ls, from the land side,) the Ger? mans say they expect to hear of ii capture In the same way that Sherman took Savannah, whose seaward fortifications likewise were deemed im? pregnable." -An,Illinois paper tells or a clever rehabilita? tion cf the human face divine upon which the nose, upper lip, and adjacent parts had been eaten away by an ulcer. Tba subject was a young woman named Twtneham; she and'her parent? were poor; she wished to obtain work, but her unsightly face was an obstacle in the way of lier doing so which was not easily to be o\ ercorae. lu this sad predicament she applied to fir. Wright, of Canton, for relief. a:.dhe, aided by Dr. Rainby, undertook the apparently hopeless task of mak? ing her presentable. And first, an upper lip was supplied by taklng.a piece of dash from tue, back part of the cheek arid placing it where lt was wanted. When this operation had proved suc? cessful, the nose was restored by cutting a por? tion of the flesh from the forehead, bringing lt down and making it grow where tue nose once was. Other necessities were supplied in similar ways, and it ls said that now a casual observer would never suppose that the young woman's face had ever been eaten, mutilated and restored. -The directors of the Angl... American Tele? graph Company, of the French Cable Company, and of the Ncw'York, Newfoundland and Loudon Telegraph Company, have iasu?d a circular, stat? ing that all efforts to repair either of thc broken cables have titus far been unsuccessful, it ls tur ther stated, that the efforts to repair the cables will be continued so long as thc weather will per? mit, but that the probabilities of success arc much less than If the brcik had occurred during the Bummer. The accumlat'.on or business at both ends or the French cane, it ls estimated, is equal to Its capacity during toity eight hours, and this accumulation is made np from thc un-ent mes? anges during four business days. lu order to diminish the volume of message* and to secure the tran-mlssiou of tho.-e dispatches only that are lmportint, the tariff of rates has been raised, to take effe. t on aud after De ember 12tu.

She is of a tall and commanding Agare, regular oval face, fine, dark expressive ey es, and ls very rtatelv and measured n her movements. No one caa leave her pre moe withouttreing impressed with the kindness md charming frankness of her manner. She la highly educated and accomplished, and ls very partial to France and the French tongue. Sie thinks Napoleon unjustly blamed for the war, which -She considers due "to the Intrigues and machinations of thc different political parties, the Orleanlsts as well as the two extreme factions, thc Reactionists and the Red Republicans, and the French eagerness to win hack the prestige which hart b?en lost by their government In ?sco." She dcules any rudeness to thc Kin? on tho part of Count Benertetti. or any -desire of Napoleon to pick a quarrel. White declaring that future se? curity demand- certain guarantees from France, her Majesty exclaimed : "God knows that tho thirst of couquest has no share in the decisions or the King and bia advisers;" and while defend? ing thc courtesies shown Napoleon, she denied the reports that h? ls to be restored to thc throne, She paid a handsome tribute to the dignity, pru dence and tact shown by the Empress Eugenie since her exile. The Senate onU General Lee. The debate in the United States Senate on the resolution of Senator McCreery, of Keotuck}-, instructive lesson though it be, will awaken in the breast of every sober thinking Southerner as ruuch of regret as of irritation. It was proposed tbat a committee ire appointed to inquire whether General Lee had any right or title to the Arlington state, which made it liable to forfeiture on ?ccount of bis participation in the rebellion, ind it was desired that tbe estate be re? stored to Mrs. Lee and her children, if it yere found that the property was theirs done. There was no evidence of a desire >n the part of Senator McCreery to lure Congress into even a tacit approval of the ?ause of secession. It was merely asked hat thc Arlington estate might be returued o its right [ul owners, if it were known to lave be on wrongfully taken away from hem. S 3nator McCreery did, as he might >roperiy do, eulogize the virtue, thc valor md tho, military genius of our Great Cap ain; nor did he go one step too far in de nanding justice for the noble Virginia ma? r?n, who belongs to a race fond of bestow ng a charity which poverty cannot force hem to accept. But theSenate took alarm, ind the mildest words spoken on the Radi :al side were those of Senator Edmunds, vho avowed his regret that General Lee lad not died in his youth, or in his " patri . otic manhood," or by the hand of the exe ?utioner. Senator Morton branded General Leo as he " great sinner;'' Senator Scott 6tigma ized him as the "chief conspirator;" Scna or Nye denounced him " a traitor;" Sena or Turner was willing-as the whole South 3 willing-to hand General-Lee over to ' the avenging pen of history." It was to ie expected that a body which, with ghoul 3h glee, could revile and insult thc foremost nan of his timo, should boast of " the "unparallelled magnanimity" which prc ented it from according to the dead hero md his family the impartial justice which is he right vt the poorest and humblest citizen. This Lt is which causes us a deep regret sortheru statesmen, Northern journalists, Northern citizens appeal to the South to lury the past and unite with them in defend? ing the common country, and in mnintain ng and increasing its prosperity. General J. F. Butler goes so far as to indulge in the relief that the old Confederates are unxious o fight once more under the Haunting flag rf tho "Union. And these appeals have not reen without effect. We have tried, and iro trying, to allay animosity, and to show ?y our conduct that we have an interest in he whole country, and are rc-ady to march vito the East and the Weat, side by side, in he paths of amity and peace. There is but me reservation. The Soutii cannot, and .viii not, efface from her loving memory the jnseltlsh soldiers, bone of her bone and flesh af her flesh, who gave up their lives during tho war between the States. And what the South cannot do herself, she will not coun? tenance in others. Wlntl we ask is that our dead brothers bc permitted to rest in peuce; that, there shall be no contumely for those who fell-no upbraiding for those who sur? vived the carnage of the years of blood, identified with the mimes of Jackson ?Ind Lee, Jenkins and Gregg, Johnston and Bee; no reproacli upon the ten thousand South Carolinians whose blood incarnadined tho Bands of the coast and thc forests of the Carolinas, as well as the historic fields of Virginia. Only silence! This was not much to ask or expect. But the Senate of the United States mocks at onr sorrows am', jeers at our bereavement. The gravo senators heap scorn and abuse upon the head' of him who was the repre? sentative Christian soldier of the South. They declare that a bald suggestion that plain justice be done to him who was just and merciful to all, is " insulting aad shock " ing " to the seose of " the Senate and the "country," and is, besides, "abhorrent to " humanity." Is this charity ? Is this mag? nanimity? Is this patriotism? Is this the way to soften the hearts and win the confi? dence of twelve millions of people who rev? erence General Lee as a gentleman without a stain, and a soldier without reproach ? We say, emphatically, that while Congress talks. in this strain it is impossible that the coun? try should be united. It is impossible that any Southerner can have a tittle of liking or respect for men of the stamp of Sumner and Davis, Morton and Scott. They draw the lividiug line between us and them. They must make atonement ere they eau clasp hands with auy soldier of the South. And yet wc hope ! Wa hope that these malignant politicians do not represent the wishes and thoughts of the intelligence and rirtu? of tbe Northern and Western States, tc is possible, as we know by sad experience, for a wnole people to be misrepresented and j betrayed by those who are, in name, the juardiaiis of their welfare and the exponents >f their opinions. We appeal, thou, from ,he senators to the legislativa bodies which ilected them, and from thoso bodies to the niliions of Americans who know what man lood is, and have no sympathy with shuffling enegade or political buffoon. The Sonth, vo tell them, can be won by justice and rc pect, but it cannot be won by slander and ibnse. It does not become us to- declare motives ir to judge unheard; but this we know: the lebate in the United States Senate, on Tues lay last, must chill the hearts of the South, md rekindle in the popular mind, for a time ,t least, the bitter memories which, it was oped, might sleep forever. THE characteristic debate in the Senate pon the attempt to oust Senator Corbin, is leasant and instructive reading. The Pay of the Llentenant-G?vcrni The Stete Sedate h?ve passed a bill givi the Lieutenant-Governor a.salary of twen fire hundred dollars a year, In addition the "ten dollars a day while presiding 01 "the Senate," provided for in the act of St lember 26, 1868. This would make the to pay of thc Lieutenant-Governor about $3? a year-?.s much as is paid to the Govern who occupies a position of extensive dut and large respDnsibility, while the Lieuti ant-Governor has no other duty than that presiding over tho Senate. This is not thc way to carry out the ri ommendations of retrenchment and str economy contained in Governor Scott's li message. The ten ddflare a day and mi age is an ample compensation for any in vidual who occupies the purely ornamen position of Lieutenant-Governor. There besides, a serions objection, urged by t Columbia Union, viz: that the increase salary is unconstitutional, if intended to ha an immediate efoct. The cousiitution (s< 13, art. 3) provides that "the Governor a "Lieutenant-Governorshall, at stated timi "receive for their services a compensatio "which shall neither be increased- or dimi "ished during the period for which til "shall have been elected." The compem lion of the -Lieutenant-Governor was fix by the act of September 26, 1868, at len di lars a day and mileage, while presiding ov the Senate, and tho Uniom says, therefoi that it "caunot understand how the Genei "Assembly can, in view of this provision "the constitution, increase the pay of eith "the Governor or Lieutenant-Governor di "ing the next two years." We shall see whether the remonstrances a thoroughly Radical journal produce a effect ! TiriXGS in Europe are getting to be som what mixed.
