There stood the remnants ofthat once
glorious army that had dipped its con-
auering banners in the crimson tide Of
eight and twenty sanguinary battles, and
strewn its heroic slain from the feet OF
the Pennsylvania mountains to the gates
of its own capital city; that had given
Manassas to Beauregpard, and twined
the fame of the Seven Pines battle in the
laurel wreath of Johnston; that had
caused the waters ofthe Shenandoah eter-
nally to murmur the fame ofStonewall
Jackson; and, stretching its right arm
out TO the distant West, had planted vic
tory on the dropping banners Of Bragg
that had witnessed four gigantic cam
paigns, and through alltheir shifting and
tragic scenes, and under all difficulties,
trials, tolls and dangers, had remained
steadfast and faithful. to the last-and
after having witnessed the rising Of the
Southern constellation, as it loomed up
brightly on the horizon ofwar, pursuing
to its splendid zenith the fiery path Of
Mars, now beheld, not unmoved, its de-
clining splendors going down in the
gloom of eternal night And he, its il
lustrions chief, whose lofty plume was
ever its rallying point in battle, and
around whom its affections warmly clus-
tered, now commended it for its past
devotion, and bade it. adieu forever.
Slowly and sadly he rode from that
mournful field, for his strong sword hung
shattered at his side, and the cause that
he fought for was beneath the foot OF
power. Few were the eyes that grew
not moist at, witnessing that departure.
1t was the agony of a great cause finding
expression in the sublime soul of the
great defender. And though that cause
be dead, yet will its memory continue to
live, and ever honored will be those
illustrious names that were sacrificed
at its altars And on the scroll of
fame no name among the list Of en-
inent worthless will shine with purer,
serener or more resplendent light than
that of Robert Edmund Lee. His fame
is monumental His name will be placed
alongside those ofthe great captains of

and Eugene; and as long as the fame of
the Southern struggle shall linger in ira
dition and song, will his memery be
cherished by the descendants of the
Southern races while his character will
stand up in the twilight of history like
some grand cathedral, lifting itself in
imperishable beauty above the objects of
the earth, majestic in its vast proper
tons, awful in its solemn stateliness,
sublime in its severe simplicity. ..ati.s
