The CHIvALRoUs lea new work
on America, by Rev. DR.. Massie, founded
on an extensive tour in the United States
in the summer Of 1868, relates an incident
Of the rebel General Lee that reflects any,
thing but credit upon his character as a
man, and stamps him Of the same nature
as the blood-thirsty Pickett. He ordered
an overseer to fog a number Of his male
and female slaves; the overseer scourged
the males, but his feelings revolted when
he came to the females, and he declined to
fog them. The ehivairous Gen. Lee there
upon seized the lash and applied it to the
barred backs Of the women until the blood
flowed in streams, and concluded his fend-
ish task by pouring brine upon their
wounds! This is the creature whom cop
perhcads here laud, and whom class of
Englishmen delight to honor. A fitting
punishment for him, should he be caught.
would be to subject him until dead to the
hsA Of these same victims of his brutality,
prOtracting meanwhile his miserable blood
Stained life to the utmost, in order that he
might receive the full measure Of justice
his crimes merit. Brute Butler, as the ad-
mirers Of Lee and JEFF. Davis style him,
isthe very soul Of chiyalry compared with
such demons as Leo and Pickett.
IEcEsDIARY FIRE.-A barn belonging
to CRas. Wren, containing about fifteen
hundred bushels Of grain, was destroyed
BY FIRE at night in the carly part Of last
week. We have learned nothing regarding
the Ere beyond this bare statement, save
that il was undoubtedly the work Of on
ineendiary; as the present occupant Of the
place, Mr., Fred. Clark, has not had occa-
sion to use ere in or near this barn since
Wren left.ia However much wc might ap-
prove the action, Of citizens in getting rid
Of troublesome neighbor, we cannot JUS
tity . resort to such means Of revenge; Il,
as,we have been led to suppose, this cow
ardly act was pcrpetrated by somebody in
that spirit. We should rejoice to learn,
for the credit Of the county, that the fire
owed its origin to carelessncss; but, We are
assured, there is little room for doubt.
