OF GENERAL LEE

From Lee and His Lieutenants,"
In all his official intercourse and private
conversation General Lee never breathed
a yindictive sentiment towards the enemy
who 80 severely taxed his resources and in
genuity, and put against him so many ad-
vantages in superior means and numbers.
He had none Of the Yankeephobia -
common in the Southern army; he spoke
of the Northern people without malevo-
lence, and in the style that deprecated their
political decisions rather than denounced
their crimes, and he generally referred TO
the enemy in quiet and Indifferent words,
quite in contrast to the epithets and
anathemas which we're popularity showered
on the Yankees"
On one occasion a spectator describes
him riding up to the Rockbridge artillery,
which was fiercely engaging the enemy,
and greeting his son Robert, who as a pri-
vate soldier was bravely working one OF
the guns. " How dye do father" was all
that Robert had 10 say as he continued his
duty at his gun; and General Lee replied
quietly: "That's right my son; drive
those people back" At another time, in
sight Of the enemy on the Rspidan, Cen
eral Lee was standing near his lines con-
versing with two of his officers, one of
whom was known to be not only hard
fighter and a hard sWearer, but a cordial
hater of the Yankees. After a silence OF
some moments the latter officer, looking at
the Yankees with dark scowl on his face,
exclaimed most emphatically, al wish
they we're all dead"
General Lee with the grace and manner
peculiar to himself, replied Glow can you
say 30, General Now, wish they were all
at home, attending TO their own business,
and leaving us to do the same" He then
moved off, when the first speaker, waiting
until he was out Of earshot turned to his
companion, and in the most earnest tone
said, 81 would not say 80 before General
Lee, but / wish they were all dead and in
hell p When this amendment" to the
wish was afterwards repeated to General
Lee, in spite of his goodness and customary
reproof of profanity, he could not refrain
from laughing heartily at the speech, which
was so characteristic Of one Of his favorite
officers.
His scanty meals were the occasion of
some thoughtless jokes and many comic
anecdotes. In his tent meat was eaten but
twice week. His ordinary dinner con-
sisted Of head of cabbage boiled in salt
water, and pone Of corn bread. The story
is loosely told that on one occasion a num-
Der Of gentlemen having appointed.to dine
with him, he had ordered a servant to pro-
vide repast of cabbage and middling. A
very small bit of middling garnished the
dish-so small that the polite guests all
declined middhng, and il remained on the
dish when thew rose from the table Next
day the General remembering the un-
touched meat ordered his servant to bring
that middling" The man hesitated,
scratched his head, and finally said "De
fact is, mass'r Robert, dart ar middlin' was
borrid middlin' and done Civ it back to
de man whar / got it FROM"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

A curious and important case has been
before the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts,
involving the right OF the majority Of \
congregation 20 dissolve an ecclesiastical
corporation and divide its property. The
question was raised in regard to the New
South Church in Boston, which was built
about hundred and fly years ago by an
association for religious worship. The
court unanimously decided that such an
association was a corporation holding
property for special purposes, in which the
interest Of the members is limited 10 the
carrying out ofthese purposes. The own
ership in such cases can neither be alien.
ated nor abandoned. The application was
refused.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN ENG
LAND

A dissenter named Forstee is in Jail at
Tantan, Somersetshire, for the crime of
having refused 10 pay a church rate Of a
few shillings He was sued in the Bishops
Court, and condemned to pay costs amount
ing 10 something more than el47. As he
was too poor 20 pay this sum, his property,
at last accounts, was soon to be sold. He
will be left without a penny, warning to
all other dssenters to let the establishment
pick their pockets without making any
foolish resistance.
The second case is that enc Of Job Since
ton, tenant farmer at Sibbertof, North
amptonshire. He voted against the imposl-
ton, in a double sense, of a church rate,
refused TO pay his quota, and was notified
by the agent of his landlord, the honorable
L. w. &. Villiers. TO vacate his farm. In
a manly letter to Mr. Villiers, Mr.. Smeeton
SAYS:
AZ am the Oldest tenant upon your es-
tate in this neighborhood, myself and my
father having occupied some part Of it for
upwards of sixty years. We have also, al
though nonconformists, been recently so-
licited to contribute towards the restoration
of the parish church, and have cheerfully
complied. / should, therefore, have thought
that an English gentleman, especially one
bearing the name Of Villiers, would have
hesitated before adopting 20 extreme and
peremptory a proceeding. Similar acts on
the part Of the churchmen, both clerical
and lay, in this neiShborhood have already
attracted some public attention. so l con-
fess TO no special surprise at the course you
have thought fit TO pursue. Your neighbor,
Capt. Ashby Ashby, Of Naseby Woolleys,
refused a farm to the late Mr. Henry
Sneeton simply, solely and avowedly be-
cause be was a nonconformist.sE Even in this
village we have seen little girl turned out
Of the national school-though the school
had been partly built by public money
because the parents Of the child, being
members Of a Baptist church, had not had
ner christened i will not from
bic you with the reason why, as a noncon-
formist, | object 10 be compelled to paw
for the support of another mans religion.
With those reasons every intelligent Eng
lishman is already familiar; and large
maiorities Of the House of Commons have
resolved that such an anomaly shall no
longer exist, and that church rates shall be
abolished. And j am thankful to know
that the reformed Parliament will amend
some other matters that at present are Al
issue between ohurchmen and ourselves.
In conclusion, l thank you for the explicit
ness of your agents note. You will have
the satisfaction Of being one Of the last Eng
lish landlords who turned out Of his farm a
tenant because he refused 10 pay church
rates
It is to be hoped that Parliament will
not disappoint Mr.. Smeeton.
