Gen. Robot Lee.
We have already announced that Gen. RoRERr IEv
late OF the U. 5. Army, has been appointed nv the
Governor Commander-in Chief of the Army of Virginia
Gen. LEE is son of Light Horse Harry" of i'm
mortal tame and is we'll known as one of the most &C
compllshed officers of the late q. S. service It was
LEE who engineered the victorious march to Mexico
Tor which the greatest turnkey of the age got all the
credit. A more heroic, Christian, noble soldier and
gentleman could not be found We extract the follow
Ing just tributes from the Lynchburg Vrginian and
Alexandria Gazette:
CAPT. ROBERT E. LEE.
% We rejoice (says tie Lynchburg Virginian) that
this distinguished officer and worthy son of Virginia
has withdrawn from Lincons army and thrown himself
upon the bosom OF his native State. 1t was what we
expected of the man. Capt. Maury has done likewise
and thus these two noble men, the very flower of the
Army and Navy of the late United States respond to
the call OF their glorious old mother. Sparta never had
Worthler sons. ALI honor to them, and to the State
that furnished them Let no Coroiolanus be found in
inc army OF mercenares that shall besege the cities of
Virginia If there should 5e-even though it were
Scott whose aureed brow has totered like the sons of
SAUL long conspicuous object amongst his country
men-the women may not entreat them, but will exc
crate their memory. Virginia expects every son of
hers matter where he has been in the past to do his
duty now in this her hour of trial. If they be true
Vglnans, they will act like Lee and Maury and For
rest have done"
The Alexandria Gazette Of Saturday last said before
the fact of Gen. Lees resignation had TRANSFERRED thus
referred to him:
1t is probable that the secession of Virginia will
cause an immediate resignation OF many officers of the
Army and Navy from this State. We do not know,
and have no right to speak for anticipate the
OF Col. Robt. +. Lee. Whatever he may do will be
conscientious and honorable But if he should resign
his present position in the Army of the United States
we call the immediate attention of State to him. as
an able, brave, experienced ocerno man his superior
in all that constitutes the soldier and the gentleman
no man more worthy to head forces and lead our
army. There is no one who would command more of
the confidence of the people of Virginia, than this dis
tingushed officer and under whom the volunteers
and militia would more gladly rally. His reputation,
his acknowledged ability, his chvaric character his
probity honor and-may add, to his eternal praise

Compound Extract of Sarsapanlla,

the most cffcctual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active rcmcdials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only scrofula, bat also those other aifec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurT1vE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTHoNY's FIRE,

TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belel
in impmityo Of the blood" is foln ,ded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of she blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa.
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Political.
ssIate Exploits of SecessiOnism.

In view Of the wholesale and needless
destruction of bridges, and of some forty
locomotives, belonging to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and by consequence
TO this city, by the disciples of Mr.. JEFF
fcrson Davis, we lock for large Access
sion Of prosclytes here to the doctrines
of that peculiar school. Looking to
what Secession has already accomplished
for Maryland and Virginia in its merely
half-hedgcd' condition.. one can hardly
estimate its blessings, supposing it had
no check to its fight. Ever since its
suspicious advent upon our borders the
people lave been daily called upon to
admire some new evidence of its benifcent
purposes; sometimes exhibited in the
shooting down of soldiers sent to defend
a portion of their own soil, sometimes in
tho plumber of iarnl-houses, or dcs-
truction of valuable public works. In
its mildcr phases it invokes our admira-
ton by the attempted passage of uncon-
stitutional laws, by its exploits in wor-
rying o patriotic Chief Magistrate. and
its persistent depletion of the public
treasury.
If it will only keep on this same track
for a little while longer it will need no
special defamation to enable it to enlarge
its proportions and its sphere of action
for all men must fall In love with it.
What it has already accomplished for
Maryland bears no sort of proportion to
what it might have done had it not been
" cribbcd and cabined" somewhat. In
the presence of an unapproving auditory
it has been little abasEed, and it does
not hold its head up as it does elsewhere
at Martinsburg for instance.
Seriously, it would be difficult to find
in the whole history of modern warfare,
another instance of more unjustifable
and needless vandalism and if anything
was wanting besides this to make Mary
land turn away from the threatened en-
brace of Secession with anger and dis
gust, surely it could be found in this
wanton and criminal destruction of pro-
pcrty, in the shape of the most laborcd
and valuable works of public utility

Who're nights fair jewels swcetly lie,
And scents the brrcz: and tints the blue
Aud gems the budding flowers with dew
The plough by from his humble bed,
\ $ Stnut OF hcart and elear of head,
And flee from every shade of care,
As natures children ALWAYS are,
Goes forth to feast his honest eyes
With rapture on the earth and skies;
And as the fea;hered songsters roll
Their accents rich areand his sou,
Ills heart expands with natures joy
And bliss untainted with alloy;
lie sues the purple skies unfold
Theil gorgeous hucs of blue aud gold.
lie hears the streamlct's silvery sound,
In accents sweet tho hills around,
lie sees the lovely flowers expand,
Fair cmhlems OF the better land;
And with a heart as free from guile
As mornings hcavcn-awaiened smile,
Envies not those who vile away
On silken couch the dawning day..
Nor hears, nor needs ambitions call,
Nor rccks il thrones and empires fall,
But, cheertully resigned to fate,
Leaves glory to the vulgar great.
