Anecdote of General Wadsworth.--The following is one of the most beautiful and pathetic stories of the war. It is told by Mr. Wilkinson, Paymaster Rochester, feeling his lips to be unsealed by the death of General Wadsworth, tells that he always paid him from his entry into the service, and that when the General called on him for money on the eve of starting to the Mississippi Valley on a special mission connected with the arming and organization of the slaves of that region, he casually remarked to him that when he got to New-Orleans he would find there Paymaster Vedder, to whom he would recommend him as a gentlemanly officer to apply for any moneys he might need. No, sir, said General Wadsworth; I shall not apply to Major Vedder. While I am in the service I shall be paid only by you. And my reason for that is, that I wish my account with the Government to be kept with one paymaster only; for it is my purpose at the close of the war to call on you for an accurate statement o

s lingered. Go spin, you jades! Go spin! was the only answer vouchsafed by the Earl of Pembroke to the twice-banished nuns of Wilton. Even now, travellers agree that throughout civilized Europe, with the partial exception of England and France, the profound absorption of the mass of women in household labors renders their general elevation impossible. But with us Americans, and in this age, when all these vast labors arc, being more and more transferred to arms of brass and iron; when Rochester grinds the flour and Lowell weaves the cloth, and the fire on the hearth has gone into black retirement and mourning; when the wiser a virgin is, the less she has to do with oil in her lamp; when the needle has made its last dying speech and confession in the c Song of the Shirt, and the sewing-machine has changed those doleful marches to delightful measures,--how is it possible for the blindest to help seeing that a new era is begun, and that the time has come for woman to learn the alpha

d, hard-hearted ascetics, enemies of the fine arts and polite literature. The works of Milton and Marvell, the prose-poem of Harrington, and the admirable discourses of Algernon Sydney are a sufficient answer to this accusation. To none has it less application than to the subject of our sketch. He was a genial, warmhearted man, an elegant scholar, a finished gentleman at home, and the life of every circle which he entered, whether that of the gay court of Charles II., amidst such men as Rochester and L'Estrange, or that of the republican philosophers who assembled at Miles's Coffee House, where he discussed plans of a free representative government with the author of Oceana, and Cyriack Skinner, that friend of Milton, whom the bard has immortalized in the sonnet which so pathetically, yet heroically, alludes to his own blindness. Men of all parties enjoyed his wit and graceful conversation. His personal appearance was altogether in his favor. A clear, dark, Spanish complexion, l

peril and obloquy. Perjured informers endeavored to swear away his life; and, although nothing could be proved against him beyond the fact that he had steadily supported the great measure of toleration, he was compelled to live secluded in his private lodgings in London for two or three years, with a proclamation for his arrest hanging over his head. At length, the principal informer against him having been found guilty of perjury, the government warrant was withdrawn; and Lords Sidney, Rochester, and Somers, and the Duke of Buckingham, publicly bore testimony that nothing had been urged against him save by impostors, and that they had known him, some of them, for thirty years, and had never known him to do an ill thing, but many good offices. It is a matter of regret that one professing to hold the impartial pen of history should have given the sanction of his authority to the slanderous and false imputations of such a man as Burnet, who has never been regarded as an authentic c

d in the revocation of the edict of Nantz, and sought to Chap. XVII.} intrust civil and military power to the hands of Roman Catholics. The bishops had unanimously voted against his exclusion; and, as the badge of the Church of England was obedience, he for a season courted the alliance of the fairest of the spotted kind, the only tolerable Protestant sect. To win her favor for Roman Catholics, he was willing to persecute Protestant dissenters. This is the period of the influence of Rochester. The Church of England refused the alliance. The 1687 1688 king would now put no confidence in any zealous Protestant; he applauded the bigotry of Louis XIV., from whom he solicited money. I hope, said he, the king of France will aid me, and that we together shall do great things for religion; and the established church became the object of his implacable hatred. Her day of grace was past. The royal favor was withheld, that it might silently waste and dissolve like snows in spring.

In reference to another statement made in a certain Rochester paper, he frankly acknowledges (and he wished his acknowledgment of this charge to be made as public as his denial of the other) he did, on that last day of the mob, say in effect, that the flag should not be put up again on the church, except the perpetrators of the sacrilege marched over his dead body. But he confesses he was hasty in this one thing, and was sorry as soon as he said it. Nevertheless, when to his astonishment, (for he had not thought Lyons capable of such proceedings,) t

A telegram from Rochester, 19th, gives the resolutions adopted at the Conservative Convention at Rochester. The resolutions affirm-- 1st.
