Interesting incident.

A gentleman who on his way Sunday even
ing week TO visit the grave of younger broth
er, who died in the Confederate service. discov-
cred just as he reached the gate of the cemetery
three former servants Of the family approaching
the grave with flowers and pvergreens in their
hands. Keeping out of their view, he watched
them until they reached the grave, when one OF
them climbed over the iron railing, took the
flowers and evergreens from his companion and
laid them tenderly on the grave Of his former
young master. The gentleman then approached
and added his floral Offering Of affection to that
which had already been placed upon the grave.
Such an incident as this portrays more elo-
quently than words can the tender relations
which existed under the old dispensation be-
tween the two races--a relation so fixed and
firm in this case, as in hundreds of Others, that
the exciting and disturbing causes during and
since the war have not been able to unsettleit.
The fact is a strong affection has always sub
sisted between the whites and blacks Of the
South, and there is no reason why that feeling
should not continue in the future asin the past.
Agitatcrs and fanatics are doing much TO weak
en- it and to create animosities but We believe
that the good sense and naturally good feeling
of the negroes will finally prevail, and that
they will see only mischief and malice in these
efforts They will be apt to discover who are
their real friends and where are their true in
terests, and to act accordingly.-Lynch6mg

An Attractive Scene.

A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Richmond thus describes the
great attraction Of the day at that city
The Hollywood Memorial Bazaar is having
brilliant career of success. To-day thethrong
of fair ladies and gay cavaliers was bright and
glttering in the extreme. Richmond has sell
dom seen so dazzling an array Of Southern
beauty assembled, or has ever had bazaar
that has gained such general sympathy and
liberal patronage. The memory of the Con-
federate dead is cherished from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande with fervor of sentiment that
breaks forth at intervals with singular unanimi-
ty. Each Southern State has table in the
bazaar, pillared and canopied with flowers and
entwining evergreens, and presided over in
every instance by bevy of refined and beau
tiful ladies. A gentleman Of economic DISPOSE
ton enters with fear and trembling, for, as he
pursues his devious course through the fash
ionable assemblage, seductive and irresistible
eyes meet his, and unless his heart be hard or
his pocket light the willy fair ones obtain pc
cuniary sacrifice. The articles Of of6Vomerie and
embroidery are of a costly kind, and so ar
ranged that when one enters the selection is
seen at glance. The coup deil Of the bazaar,
as witnessed from the entrance to-day, was q
panorama of rich toilets, loveliness, costly
paintings, prizes Of silvery sheen, the whole
made animated by the fitting to and fro OF pc
titc and graceful figures and the buzzing Of
laughing voices.

The Poor.

In New York city there is society for i'm
proving the condition of the poor. In its last
annual report some strong facts are presented
on the subject of strikes for higher wages.
The rise ofprices of commodities is less than
the rise of wages, as is proved by the immense
accumulation of savings, which in the State of
New York alone stands at Sill, ,793, ,4O4, an
unexampled exhibition of wealth in the hands
of the laboring class
1t is demonstrated that strikes arc ruinous
to the laborers, who last winter lost in New
York, in ten weeks, a million Of dollars in wa
ges they refused to earn, while S5,000,000
worth of work was withdrawn from that port
by the captains of vessels or merchants, who
were warned of the strike of the ship-carpen-
ters, and could not wait their leisure for neces-
sary repairs.
The mutual dependence and interest of capi-
tai andlabor is explained. Capital, it is urged,
is nothing but accumulated labor, and is sub
iect to all the laws of labor.
Yet the system Of working women and chill
dren twelve hours day must be broken up.
The eight hour system is making Roadway.

Important Decision.

The decision of Judge Sheffey in the impor-
tant case pending in the Circuit Court of Mel
son county, of London'S heirs Us. DR.. P. II.
Gilmer, has been rendered. This was an ac-
ton brought for the recovery Of plantation
bought by DR.. Gilmer on James river, on the
ground Of injustice to minor heirs Of the estate,
it being claimed that the price was inadequate
and the money, so far as paid, worthless
These, we believe, were the grounds of the ac-
ton The farm was sold during the war by
decree of court and purchased by DR.. Gilmer
of this city, and he had paid S25,000 on the
purchase in Confederate money. The decision
as we understand it is, that the sale is Cancelled
and the land reverts TO the original owners,
who are to refund $4,000, current money to
the defendant, with interest-he TO retain pos
session of the property the remainder of the
year and pay rent for the same. This decisos
we understand is entirely Satisfactory to both
parties. We do not know that we have stated
the case or the decision with technical accura-
cy but we believe we have given the material
points.-Lynchbury V1ginidn.

Confiscation.---Wh it will Lead To

We commend TO the attention Of our colored
friends, (says the Lexington Bdnner,l the fol-
lowing extract fIom the New York Times
Many colored persons have been seduced into
the organization gotten up by Hunnicutt, un-
der the belief that the lands Of the Southern
whites will be confscated and parceled out a
monC them. AS far as we can understand,
this is the chief inducement that is offered to
colored men to secure their adhesion to this
party. We advise all such. to consider care
fully this declaration Of Radical organ upon
the subject. The Times says:
"The confscation resolutions adopted at the
late meeting Of negroes in Richmond prove the
baneful effect Of the political teachings which
they receive from the Hunnicutts Of the ex-
treme Radical party. In the eye Of every
thoughtful man, confscation admits Of only
one Interpretation. Itisthe equivalent Of gen
era spoliation, boodshed, and anarchy. There
can be no liberty without order. and no order
without ample protection for the rights Of pro-
perty. Invade these rights, and inculcate the
idea that one class shall be permitted to seize
and enjoy the lands and houses of another class,
and from that moment the South will become
a second San Domingo, to end only in the ex-
termination of whites or blacks. This may be
a strong statement of the case, but it is the
truth. And the men who 90 about familiari-
zing the negroes with the demand, and persua-
ding them Of its justice, should be dealt with
by the military commanders as incendiaries."

The War in Virginia.
A LECTURE BY MAJOR GENERAL RosSER OF THE
LATE REBEL ARMY

Major General Rosser, of the late rebel army,
delivered lecture lately at Cooper Institute,
y. Y. before a very small audience, on 1.-The
Last Days of the Army Of Northern Virginia"
In referring to the past events he desired to
show no disposition to revive the animosities
connected with them, but rather TO heal the
wounds they had caused. He was glad to see
the frequent signs of real reconstruction in
the friendly meeting of Northern and Southern
soldiers. He wished TO draw attention to the
time when Grant assembled all his forcesaround
Petersburg, with view TO dislodging Lee from
his Notifications. At this time the South was
greatly reduced in every way, and General Lee
had to rely only on the gathered remains Of the
rebel forces. He had had long and painful
interview with Lee two days before the surren-
der of Petersburg. Lees forces then consisted
of only thirty-three thousand infantry and ar
tilery, and six thousand cavalry and they were
half starved and exhausted with working in
the trenches Against these, there was no
means in the South 10 sustain or recruit them,
an overwhelming and mighty force was ar
rayed. But both Petersburg and Richmond
were very strongly fortified The former was
attacked in order to compel Lee TO extend his
flanks, and thus weakens his forces. The We'll
don railroad captured by Grant, Lee fell back
and sought to protect the Southside and Dan
vile roads his other means of supplies, with
the aid of General Early. Lees line was forty
miles in length, and Grants army extended a
round and in front of it. The capture of Five
Forks by Sheridan was the Waterloo of the
Southern rebellion. Grant tried to keep Lee
from retreating as he had done so successfully
with Pope, Burnside, Hooker aad Mcclellan
by keeping his lineclose upon HMM his works.
Whenever Lee withdrew his forces for a retreat,
Grant pressed upon him and he was compelled
TO reoccupy his position. On the final encoun-
ter Lee had Gordon on his left and A. p. Hill
on his right. Grant, with the Ninth, Sixth,
Second and Twenty-fourth corps, moved a.
gainst Ewell and drove him back and Hill also,
and surrounded the army of the rebellion. He
knew that after Ewellha surrendered General
Lee had determined to yield up his entire army
as a means of saving additional bloodshed. In
proof of this Lee retired upon Farrnville, with
Grant close upon him, and thence moved in the
direction of Appomattox Court House.
The lecturer illustrated his remarks by re-
ferring to large maps which he had prepared
for the occasion. His description of the fall of
Richmond and surrender Of the armies of the
rebellion was listened to with close attention
and evident interest

The Albany Evening journal which, though
Radical, is opposed to Mr.. Stevens and his con-
fscation, and the theory on which it is defend
ed, says:
"Mr. Stevens says there is no Virginia. =
The Unionists of the North fought four years
to prove that there is a Virginia, and that pr-
qinid is IN the Union, dmenaJte 10 its C6nstitu-
tion and its lars. Il is too late now TO aban-
don this position, or TO expect that Congress
by which it has been so repeatedly indorsed,
will falsify the logic Of its own action"

With silvery threads are blent
Yet you're young and handsome TO me, love,

see the form Of my bride, love.
Dressed in her raiment Of white,
Standing as close by my side. love,
She stood on our wedding night.
The eyes looked into my own, love,
Their azure dimmed with tear;
Ard | saw but that face alone, love,
OfalI who were standing near.
The eyes are no longer bright, love,
The cheeks are no longer red:
The fSfm is shrunken and slight. love,
And grey hairs cover the head.
But the hand that used 10 clasp, love,
Drowned with exposure and care,
hold in as warm a grasp, loye,
As whenit was dimpled and fair.
The smilei Is the smile Of youth, love,
The voice is the same that said,
"pll love thee forever more. love,
Till beauty and love are dead"
And that beauty will never die, love,
Eternal its life will be;
And so. as the years 60 by, love,
You'll always be fair 20 me.
