From Washington.
WASHINGTON, December 10.-Maj. Gen.
Logan was a long time, yesterday, in con?
sultation with the Secretary of State, on
the subject of the Mexican mission.
Late information from Galveston me: -
tiona the re-establishment of thc office of
provost marshal in that department.
PEKSECUTIONS OF METHODISTS EN
EAST TENNESSEE.-Tho Nashville Re?
publican Danner, of the 14th, states
that tho members and ministers of
the Southern Methodist Church, aro
at present the peculiar objects of
vindictive and cruel persecution in
East Tennessee. They are deprived
of their houses of worship, and
threatened with violence if they at?
tempt to hold religious service in
certaiu places. We have just heard,
says tho Lynchburg Republican, in an
authentic manner, of an outrage com?
mitted on an estimable minister of
that denomination, at or near the
town of Athens. For attempting to
exercise the functions of his high
and holy office, ho was mobbed and
ridden on a rail ! The name of this
persecuted minister of God, is Kev.
Jacob Brillhart, a member of the
Holston Conference, and was recent?
ly sent to Athens by Biship Early.
The Bishop vouches for him as being
a good man and worthy minister.
This is the treatment to Avhich he is
subjected because, like hosts of other
good men, he adhered to the South?
ern cause during the war.
THE DEAD OF PERKYVTI/LE.-It will
be gratiying, we know, to the South?
ern people, and especially to that
portion of them who lost friends in
the action at Perry ville, Ky., to learn
that the ladies of that vicinity have
collected the remains of the Confede?
rate dead of that bloody field into a
single burial ground, and that they
have surrounded thc space with a neut
enclosure. Many a Confederate sol?
dier remembers with gratitude the
kindness of which he has been the
recipient from the noble ladies of
Kentucky. These memories will be
the more warmly cherished when it
is known that the same angelic spirits
who cheered them on the weary
march, and clothed and fed them
dtrring their dreary imprisonment,
now watch kindly over thc graves of
their fallen comrades.
There is not a Sothern heart which
will not feel grateful for this noble
act on the part of the ladies of Perry
ville. We return to them our warmest
acknowledgments of these last honors
paid to our fallen kindred.-New
Orleans Crescent.
The New Orleans Picayune says :
"As evidence of the great business
transacted in this city, we may state
two facts. One house, on Canal
street, engaged in the wholesale and
ready-made clothing business, sold
for the month of October last goods
to the amount of $450,000. During
that month one banking-house paid
over its counter an average of $1,400,
000 per day. Last Saturday, at this
bank, 1,200 ?hecks were paid between
bank hotirs, the total amount of which
was $1,700,000. We doubt if as large
a business as this was ever done in
this city by one bank. "
There is trouble between the Mil
waukie and La Crosse Railroad Com?
pany and the farmers along their
line. The farmers have mortgaged
their farms to the amount of a mil?
lion of dollars, and the mortgages are
now being foreclosed. On Monday
night considerable of the track of the
road was torn up and a bridge was
destroyed, eighteen miles from Mil
wankie, and it is said the farmers
threaten to destroy the entire line
unless the company make provision
for the payment of the mortgages.
A MUNIFICENT DONATION.-The
editor of the Montgomery Ledge}' has
been informed that the Hon. E. M.
Bruce, a member of the late Con?
federate Congress from Kentucky,
and now doing business in that city,
has presented to General Brecken?
ridge a check for the magnificent sum
of one hundred thousand dollars.
The Ledger says that this is a noble
gift, from a noble donor, to a noble
recipient.
The Democrats of New York city
have purchased a fine building at the
cost of $110,000, to be devoted to the
purpose of a club, and known as the
'Manhattan Club." It is situated on
the corner of Fifth avenue and Fif?
teenth street. John Van Buren is
tho President. It will, it is stated,
endeavor to be to the Democratic
party what the Union League C lub
claim to have been to the Republican
party.

A PRESENT FOR GENERAL LUE.-Mr.
Charles M. Stieff, piano manufac?
turer of this city, recently finished,
by special order, a very magnificent
piano, designed as a present to Gene?
ral Robert E. Ltee. The instrument
has been forwarded to the General
at Lexington, Virginia, and he has
signified his acceptance. It is a
7}? octavo, one of the largest pianos
ever manufactured. The case is of
mo' t beautifully polished rosewood,
and the style of finish is represented
as being even richer than that of thc
time of Louis the Fourteenth; thc
main board being elaborately adorned
with inlaid pearl, and bearing the in?
scription, "Made by Charles M. Stieff
for R. E. Lee." The instrument is
of extra scale, with patent dampers,
and is finished throughout in thc
highest style of the art. The magnifi?
cent present was ordered by Messrs.
Pendleton and Archer, formerly at?
tached to tho staff of General Lee,
who acted on behalf of a committee
of gentlemen, mostly belonging to
General Lee's native State. Accom?
panying the piano was a cover, made
of the most brilliant shades of J?hinese
satin, worked in silk, rickly adorned
with flowers, represented as being
one of the richest articles of the kind
ever imported, it having cost $250 in
gold in Canton. The piano is repre?
sented by those who have tested its
qualities as beiug one of the finest
and most costly instruments ever
manufactured in this country, its
production reflecting the highest
credit on Mr. Stieff.-JV. Y. Paper.
The Virginia Legislature has met
at Richmond, .lohn D. Baldwin, a
strong Unionist before the war, but
nevertheless a member of the Con?
federate Congress, was chosen Speak?
er. The Governor's message was
read. He says the State owes $41,
000,000, and has $22,000,000 of avail?
able assets. The interest due on
January 1, is over $6,000,000. He
recommends a tax upon the oyster
business, and the sale of the State
interest in railways, which might re?
duce the debt by $15,000,000. He
thinks but little legislation is required
concerning freedman, and advocates
their admission to the courts on the
same basis as white persons. The
repeal of usury laws is recommended,
and the message closes with an ex?
hortation to support the Union in tho
payment of ta-.es and every other
way.
Ax EX-REBEL LETTER.-The follow
ing is a specimen of many others:
"A good-natured ex-rebel soldier
writes to the editor of a paper in
North Carolina: "Like you, I am
a Southerner-my homo was in the
South, my kindred, my friends, my
interests, were all here, and being
assured that I was right, I entered
the army. The logic of cold iron,
condensed into ten-inch shells and
other convenient forms for adminis?
tering, has proved the contrary,
having nothing more persuasive than
they, I acquiesce, have taken the
oath, and (sudden change or not)
intend to keep it."
Thc Germans in Missouri are in?
viting their friends in the faderland
to come over and take up thc unoccu?
pied lands in that State which yet be?
long to the Government. It is said
that there are over six millions of
acres of these lands yet to be had nt
"a dollar anda quarter an acre," aud
much of it is very good. Some of
the Germans aro already on their
way, and it is expected that a large
increase of tho population of Mis?
souri will result {rom this movement.
It is announced in official circles
that President Johnson is very urgent
for tin? admission of the Tennessee
delegates. The Republican Senatorial
caucus was considerably divided ou the
question. Congress is not disposed
to make an issuo with the President,
if it can be avoided.
