How the General eats; how his wife dresses her hair; how the graceful and accomplished Mr. P. was cordially granted an interview; how the General and his family went to the theatre, and when he smiled and raised his lorgnette, all these and more are recorded in the columns over which and Jen kins wave their sceptred qu ills.

But after all, Jenkins is sustained by the public, who prefer reading how great men eat and sleep and amuse themselves, to reading wise discussions on points of international law, or studying Jeremy Bentbam. So I will add that this morning the General remained in his rooms until nearly noon, and received calls from several gentlemen, and that he rode oat in the afternoon, making several calls upon personal friends. A number of people have come in from various parts of the country on purpose to see him. This evening it Li expected that he will visit one of the Broadway theatres.

17. Governor Brownlow has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Cincinnati GaztUc- State or Tennessee. Execitive Defarthent, Nashville, Nov. 13, iva. Editors Gaz ite: In your paper of Saturday I find notice: Governor Brownlow was robbed of five hundred "dollars and his watch by some highwaymen, near Nashville, while he was riding out with Hon.

Horace Mayuard on Friday evening." This is a mistake. It was my son, the Adjutant-General ot the State, who was riding in a buggy with a son ol Horace ynard. I am too prudent a man to ride out on any road leading from orcoming into Nashville other than a railroad. This Whole country abounds in thieves and robbers, many of whom would murder a man for his watch or for a five dollar bill. Despite of all the vigilance exercised by the civil and military authorities, murders and robberies are of daily occurrence both in Nashville and the surrounding counties of Middle Tennessee.

As lond and as numerous as are the complaints against East Tennessee by the Nathvllle papers and a certain class of politicians, there are five of these outrages perpetrated in Middle Tennessee to every one that occurs in the eastern division ot the State, To be candid, there Is almost as much disloyalty in Middle Tennessee now a there i) in and this is so of the whole South, minus the number of disloyal men who are under ground. Tennessee is in a much better condition than any of the other s-ceded States, and she bas great room for improvement, bix or seven of her eight Representatives to Congress are true and loyal men. For the good of the State and nation I should like to see them admitted to seat in the approaching session. But this I cannot say of the other Southern States: they will not elect loyal men to Congress, nor can a loyal man be elected Governor of one of those States. Their Conventions and Legislatures are overwhelmingly Rebel, and will be for years to come.

Their candidates for Governors, Congre! and Legislature, as well as for county offices, urge their claims for votes on the ground that they had done all in their power to aid the Rebellion. They are for assuming the Rebel war debt; and they are for legislating Northern men out of the South. In a word, the Rebels of the Sooth bave bv no mesna abandoned this long-cheritied idea of sej-arating tbe tiovernment. Thev are looking to this end. and, more, they are organising ith a view to this resnlt.

They do not protoe to dissolve the I'mon by the use of the sword and bayonet. They have tried tht in a wicked war of four dreary rers, and iirnllv failed. Their purpose is to accom pits their infernl plans through the ballot-box. in Congress, and they lock to the Copperhead Democracy and other Northern traitors to aid them. Thank Ut.

The Matamoros Ranrho says that the Liberals offered four hours' plunder of he city of Matamoros to the United States troops at Brownsville if they would join them, and the Eancho warns the Federal commander to keep a sufficient force there.

The Galveston lintlrtin of November 12th say that Colonel Jones, of Escobado's staff, had arrived there from Brownsville, and that Captain Sinclair, of the Liberal service, formerly Lieutenant of the Rebel pri-vtlwr Alofmma, captured an Imperial transport at the mouth of the Rio Grande, brought bvr to Brownsville, and turned her over to the Federal authorities, who have placed a guard on her.

The Richmond Enqnirer" Is anxious that Secretary Stanton shall retire or be removed from the Cabinet. It modestly says that his "removal would be a source of great pleasure through as Ivory, and is cross-eyed. This latter deformity is regarded as valuable in a pugilist, as the adversary fials it very difficult to anticipate the intention or aim of a blow. Both men are thoroughly trained and have great powers of endurance.

They will doubtless be able to beat each other Into the most revolting state of mutilation. An incipient quarrel is brewing between tbe Commissioners ot Pilots and the Common Council, in regard to the right of authority over the piers and slips. It seems that the authority of tbe Common Council extends over the wind, and tbe Pilot Commissioners claim legal powers on the water. The merits of tbe controversy and the points at issue, are, therefore, as clear asfmud, and may end in the ditch of litigation. The Health met to-day, and Dr.

ftayre presented a letter, which will be published, giving Information tor the people in view of the anticipated approach of cholera. The letter says: "Whatever differences of opinion may exist In regard to the cause and mode of propagation of tbe cholera, all now agree in their observations in this acknowledged fact, that its greatest ravages and must fearful mortality is among tbe filthy, tbe vicious and the destitnte, and In fact It is almost confined to the Imprudent, the intemperate, and tr.os who Injure themselves by taking improper medicines." Tbe letter then urges cleanliness of person, houses, yards. Kinks and the like; recommending the sprinkling of chloride of lime in such localities, and the whitewashing of walls and fences; removal of garbage; building fires occasionally in basement furnaces, if tbebusements are damp; good ventilation; temperance in eating and drinking and exercise; abstinence from unripe fruits and intoxicating drinks; the wearing of fannel next the skin, and sufficient clothing to keep tbe body at its natural temperament; and the avoidance of exposure to sudden changes of temperature. He continues to state the disease is curable as well as preventable, and says: "At the very commencement ot the disease go to bed and stay there until yon are well, with warm flannel around tbe body, warm bricks, or bottles of hot water to the feet. If ne-ee-sary.

and if the re is a tendency to vomit, apply a mustard plaster over the stomach. If yoo have not got a bed lie down on the floor and keep yourself warm, but by all means retain the horizontal position all the time, not even getting np to attend to the evacuations. He recommends sending to some Qualified physician for advice, and avoiding all "advertised nostrums." In conclusion he speaks of tbe bad effects of fear and physical despondency, and says, "while, therefore, we would urge upon all our citizens the use of every prudential and precautionary measure, let them preserve a calm and composed state of mind, a cheerful heart, and dispel all fear, and by a confiding trust in an all-wise and merciful Providence, we can reasonably hope to escape the scourge, if we Implicitly obey His laws."

Besides the action taken bv the authorities, hundreds of boatmen, stimulated by the promised reward, have Joined in the search.

Full particulars of the recent insurrections in Jamaica and Hayti are received. Both have been put down, the leaders having been shot or killed. In Jamaica the a istory of the rebellion was as follows: Tbe lth of October was fixed upon by the conspirators for a general uprising of the blacks, but the rescue of a prisoner hastened the outbreak. At the Court of Fetty Sessions, held at Moraut Bay, October 7. a man named George Geohegan was ordered tinder arrest by the magistrates for creating a disturbance In the court room.

The officers, however, were set upon by Taui Bogle, pastor of a negro chapel at Stony Gut, and about a hundred of bis followers, armed with sticks, and Geohegan was soon placed beyond their reach. Tbe police were severely beaten, and were not strong enough to enforce the orders of the Court. A dny or two afterward. Bogle and Geohegan again appeared In the Courtroom, and attempted to browbeat the magistrates, who forthwith ordered their ar. rest.

A force of seven policemen and three constables were sent to make the capture. On reaching stony Gut. the negro settlement where Bogle'schapel stands, they exhibited their warrant to Bogle, and told him lie must go aloug with them. Instead of complving. Bogle blew a shell, which was answered from three or four directions, and in a few moments the policemen were surroundedv by a mob ot two or three hundred yelliug.

Irantic negroes, bv whom three of them were taken prisoners and put in irons. The negroes held their prisoners until they gave a sort of nnrole, when tbey were liberated. No personal injury was inflicted. During the next three days the excitement at Stony Gut continued to increase. Large numbers ot negroes continued to flock there.

A mixture of rum and gunpowder was handed about among them, and of this they drank until madness overcame every feeling of humanity and prudence. On the nth a force of about five hundred rebels, armed with rifles, cutlasses and clubs, under command of Paul Rogle, made a lurious attack on the Government buildings at Morant Bay. A detachment of volunteers, bastilv gathered to defend the place, were compelled, after firing once or twice, to seek shelter in the court-house, where they barricaded themselves against the rebels. Finding themselves unable to diModge the military, the insurgents began to plunder the private houses, and attacked every citizen who ventured to show himself in tbe streets. On the 12th nit.

troops arrived from Spanish Town at Morant Bay. Immediate measures were taken to put down tbe insurgents. rom Morant Bay the troops were marched toward the interior, where the rebel forces were assembled. The presence of the military an end to these outrages and seemed to quell the spirit ot the rebels. The first insurgents taken prisoners were tried and immediately hanged.

Most of them were at once handed over to the magistrates. herever the troops marched the rebels dispersed at once, and arresting and punishing, rather than fighting, became the duty of the military. At the bottom of the conspiracy was George William Gordon, ex-magistrate and member of the Colonial Assembly, and, it would seem (though on this point the colonial papers make no definite statement), a white man. The active leader was Paul Bogle, a negro preacher, and roost of the rebels were in some way connected with "religious" associations.

Bogle. Gordon and the other principal rebels were arrested and hanged. General Lamothe, ex-President of the Haytien Republic, is believed to have been implicated in the rising, and hs been arrested on board a pohooncr In which he was trying to escape front tae island. In Hayti the rebellion has ended. General Salnave, the rebel leader, was among the persona killed at Cape Haytien by the show of the British, sbio of war Muil JJW- gniiia.sr.
