Ertdences OF Accommodation.

An anniversary meeting OF the hlCn-
mond Grays, who served in the Rebel
army, was held in that city on Tuesday
evening. Among the toasts of the oc-
casion were the following:
Virginia-''The home of the brave"
though no longer the land of the free.
Her soil is sacred still to the memory
of her gallant dead.
"rhe Conquered Banner"-May its
recollection at last be as bright and
glorious as the honUred memory of our
fallen heroes.
General Stonewall lJackson-The wor-
shipped hero of great, though con-
quered people. His name will be the
honored theme OF song and story when
those of his revilers will be buried in
contumely.
"Vfrginia and acknowledgements
as one by the blood of her children in
the revolutions of 1776 and 1861"
Jefferson Davis-The Gagged eagle.
The bars confine his person, but his
great spirit still scars. He suffers for
"a nation which loves him, but is con-
soled by the admiration and sympathy
of the Christian world.
General Robert L. Lee-'Twere easi-
er to turn the sun from its course than
Fabricius from the path of honor.
jefferson Davis-The last single cap
tive to millions in war. II is not meet
that he should suffer for all.
Stonewall Observation-Disclosures son,
our brother. His memory we revere,
his virtues we should emulate.
General Stonewall Jackson-His
Spartan courage and endurance only ex-
ceeded by his regard for "the right" in
all things.
General Lee-History will name him
among the greatest warriors; Tradition
will place him amoAg the best and
purest of men.
1Andrew johnson, President of the
United States-He has been styled the
.Restorer of the eConstitution.' Let him
perfect his title by restoring the liberty
which the Constitution guarantees"
PROGRESS OF RECONSTRUCTION.
A friend at Fredericksburg, says the
lowing item under date of the 18th in
stant:
"Yesterday II. s. Lee, a pardoned
rebel officer-a brother of Fitzhugh Lee
and nephew of General r. E. Lee-went
to a livery stable, where he had left his
horse, and ordered the colored ostler to
saddle and bring him out. After he
had complied with his request, Lee
commenced to curse and kick the negro
without kthe least shadow of provoea-
ton. AS soon as he could release him
self the negro walked away, whereupon
Lee commenced throwing stones at
three negroes sitting in a doorway on
lue OpDOsilt SlGG Vi llG SlAGGbs AAG
groes at once ran around the corner of
the house hastily pursued by Lee, who
continued cursing and throwing stones
at them and others. Presently a police
officer made his appearance, and while
in the act of arresting him, Mayor
Slaughter arrived and ordered the off,
Ger 10 release him. At this juncture
three Federal officers came along, when
Lee renewed his abuse of the Yankees,
DC, Major NieOdemuS, OF the 18th Uni
ted States regulars, and commandant
of the post, listened patiently TOR some
| time, expecting the Mayor TO have the
noisy and insulting ex=rebel pnl under
arrest; but, failing to do so, and on Lee
again cheering for JEFF. Davis, he order
| ed his arrest himself, and at once teIe-
graphed General Terry for instructions.
1.-The Mayor and 'chivalry' generally
were very indignant at this interference
on the part of the military authorities.
I But if United States officers are not al
lowed 10 protect themselves from abuse
and insult, the sooner they are with
drawn from the South the better"
