A PREsIDENCY FOR LEE.

The Richmond Republic states that
Gen. R. E. Lee has been rendered the
presidency Of Washington College, at
Lexington, Va. "A definite reply has
not yet been received, but it is rrcsum-
ed that the tender will be- declined, as
Lee has signi6ed his intention to lease
a:grazing farm in Albermarlc county
and reside upon it with his family.
Should General Lee signify his &C.
ceptance Of the position, we protest
against his being permitted by govern
ment to occupy it It is certainly a
sufficient exhibition Of magnanimity on
the part Of the American people that
this traitor-whose hands are red With
the blood Of their sons and brothers,
and upon whose head rests the ever
lasting ignominy of having permitted
our soldiers to be starved in rebel pens,
be suffered to remain upon the
soil OF the continent. The tender Of
such position is an insult thrown in
the faces Of loyal people Of the north,
by the unregenerated (but active re.
construction) rebels Of the Southern
States. It is an endorsement Of Lees
past course that should not be tolerated,
We do not believe that every tender Of
reconciliation should come from this
side Of Mason and Dixon's line-as Ger:
tainlyleyery symptom of genuine devo.
ton to the Union has-and such action
on the part of leading citizens Of q
State, as..was the tender Of the. presi,
dency Of this college to Lee, is by nc
means calculated to nourish kindly
feelings in those who have had to en-.
dure 80 great hardships because Of him
and deserves an unqualified rebuke.
The past demonstrates that the sol
Of Virginia is not the best calculated
to.produce a"good crop of patriotism
and the4prospects for the future vii
certainly be..but little-. improved wher
the seed!is sown, and its growth direct
ed by such2 hands as those Of Robert
i. Lee. Indeed may it not be fearee
that the harvest will be a harvest o.
traitors?

THE BETRATER'S KISS.

1t is sad comment on tho depth to
which devotion to q certain course of
political teachings will lead men, to OBJ
serve the hypocritical laudations be-
slowed upon our returning soldiers by
the copperhead press and leaders. How
very few months have elapsed since
these same men, through their plat
forms and speakers, charged our SOL
diers with tailoring to uphold an tex
pertinent" which had already,"proved a
a failure"-the war for the Union which
they we're SO gloriously wagiug in spite
Of the discouragements. and obstacles
thrown in their way by these political
demagogues !! How short time since
they denied the soldiers the3 right tc
vote insthe feld-holding the ballot in
one hand and the musket in the other
These and many like per6dious acts are
too recent to have been forgotten, and
the soldiers will spurn their Judas-like
kiss as they did the leaders Of the par.
ty last November. The love of the
copperheads for the army first warmed
when Richmond had fallen aud Lee
had rendered his sword to Gen. Grant,
The hypocrisy of their present protes-
tations is too apparent to deceive any,
and the party will gain no strength by
it. Their course only serves to disgust
all well-thinking men. 49,
Since the above was written, we
find an instance Of the means employed
by the cops. to draw the returning
soldiers into their party meshes. In
Iowa they appointed their State Con-
vention one day earlier and then issued
a call for ''Mass Convention" pur-
porting to be for returned soldiers.
One of the soldiers, Robert Stsmm,
who was induced by false representa-
ton to sign it. has already..repudiated it.
In letter to the Fairfield Ledger, he
states how he was entrapped into sign
ing it, having beeniitold by N. H.
Ward Of Fairfield, that the design was
to form an Organization which he rep.
resented was formed for the soldiers, in
which all returned soldiers were join.
ing, &C." and that he afterwards mott.
fed Ward to take his name off the cir.
cular, &c., it having been placed there
under false Impressions. i. Mr.. Stamm
says: - ii [7o-r> :. ~ T., - :s.:s ! -
Il take this method Of notifying the pub.
lie of the facts Of the case, in order that
others may know TO what mean trickery q
bad cause will stoop to gain its purpose,
and to warn my fellow. soldiers against fall.
ing into the snare that is laid for them by
those who have ever been their enemies, and
that Of the cause in which they were engag.
cd, and now seek only to make them theil
tools and dupes for their own self.interests
