Lydia Maria Child on amalgamation. --Lydia Maria Child, who begged the favor of Gov. Wise to go to Charlestown, Va., and attend upon old John Brown, favors the Hon. Massa Greeley, of the New York Tribune, with a letter, from which we extract the following endorsement of, and encouragement for, amalgamation. Such a beastly proposition deserves no comment. Whether amalgamation would take place legally, as it now does illegally, if the slaves were freed, is not a question susceptible of proof. It must, of course, remain a matter of opinion till experience furnishes evidence. But it seems to me quite superfluous to trouble ourselves about it. If there is an instinctive antipathy between the races it will take care of itself, as natural antipathies and attractions are always sure to do. If there is not any natural antipathy, then the horror of amalgamation has no rational foundation. My own opinion is, that there is not a natural antipathy between white and colored people. My

he speculation in gold should not be fostered by the Stock Exchange, and that, in the opinion of Government officials, the traffic in gold at the Board was calculated to stimulate speculation therein. It is understood that the Board will act upon the subject to-morrow, and will exclude gold from the regular list. The immediate effect of this will probably be to stimulate the price of gold. But eventually it cannot but diminish speculation in the precious metal. Miscellaneous It is reported in St. Louis that a challenge has passed between Major McKinstry, who is now on trial before a court-martial in that city, and Hon. Frank P. Blair, Jr., member of Congress. Two men were tried last week in Cecil county, Md., on the charge of treason, for displaying secession flags on the public highways. Verdict — Not guilty. United States Senator James A Pearce, of Maryland, is now lying so low at his residence in, Charles town that no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

st--Grierson's raid — European affairs, &c. [from our own Reporter] Fredericksburg, May 21. --The New York Herald, of the 18th inst., has been received, and the following is a summary of the news taken from its columns: Admiral Farragut has arrived in New Orleans. Admiral Porter's fleet has captured Alexandria, La. Two blockade runners arrived at Nassau on the 9th from Charleston, and eight cleared on the 9th for Southern ports. A body of rebels captured at Charlestown, Va., on Friday night, a party of U. S. cavalry. Schenck sent out from Milroy's command to intercept them, and overtook them at Piedmont Station, recaptured them and 40 rebels. The Herald thinks cavalry raids will be a most valuable arm of the service in suppressing the rebellion. The raids always excite alarm and terror among the people. From the Southwest.--Grant at last accounts was awaiting reinforcements, which were coming to his support from various points along the Missis

Old John Brown. --A correspondent of the Iredell (N. C.) Express writes from Charlestown, Virginia, as follows: "The jail, some of the churches, and especially the court-house, in this town, are defaced and tern up in an outrageous manner. The last is the house in which old "Osawatomie" (Brown) was sentenced to death. The lower story was used by the enemy for a horse stable; the upper rooms, galleries, &c., well, for purveys. Not a vestige of furniture, banistering, or anything of the sort, remains. Yesterday I visited the spot where Brown was executed; near it grew a large locust tree, of which nothing is left but a very low stump — every splinter has been carried to all corners of Yankeedom and converted into breastpins, walking-canes, &c., and preserved as relies of the tree on which "John Brown, the martyr," was hung when, in reality, the gallows on which be hanged, sure enough, now constitutes a portion of a certain plarsa in this town."

ent portfolio. The anticipated "rebel" raid on Buffalo from Canada has not yet been carried out. It is thought that the leaders in it were awed by the military and other preparations for their reception. A number of suspicious persons have been observed in the city; and it is asserted that rockets have been sent up and guns fired on the American shore as signals to the rebels across the lake in Canada. Captain Buchanan, a quartermaster, was killed by the Confederates, near Charlestown, Virginia, last week, and for it, Miss Mollie McDonough, living near the spot, was arrested and carried to the Old Capitol prison at Washington. Speaking of the presence of Governor Seymour's committee in Washington to investigate the arrests of the New York State Agents, the correspondent of the New York Tribune says they saw the President and Secretary of War, and that "the plain English of their appeal, sifted down, is, after all, that the Government must deal very gingerly with these
