Lee, was also burned, and beside a large cargo of shoes and army goods belonging to the Government. It was a total loss.

A description of Richmond. In a very delightful series of papers contributed to the Richmond Illustrated News, entitled "the Exile in France," by John Mitchell, we find the following description of Richmond: On the first morning that we awoke in Lyon we found the morning papers of that city on the breakfast table.

On the other hand, we have the news that a Federal squadron steaming up the James river, and already within sight of the spires of the same devoted town, has been beaten off and disastrously shattered by Confederate guns at a bluff called Drewry's. So far, well: the intelligence gave me appetite for breakfast
